Who Says the One Who Powers Up Has to Be the Protagonist?

It's no exaggeration to say that there are people who can defeat Khorne's "Chosen of the Gods" in close combat. But even considering the size of the Imperium of Man, such people are extremely rare, if not one in a billion, a hundred billion, or even a trillion!

Don't be Great Unclean One by novels where the protagonist suddenly unleashes their power, shouting about friendship and love while effortlessly dispatching Bloodthirster, Slaanesh, or Nurgle.

But when faced with reality, it's all bullshit!

To give an example, to visually illustrate the current gap between the two, you could say this:

You were a great fighter from a young age, and after starting elementary school, you quickly became the school bully. Then you were invited to participate in the world boxing championship, but the organizer (Khorne) cheated and changed your opponent. So you watched helplessly as Tyson, at his peak, stepped into the ring with a savage grin.

You ask why not Taro?

The gap isn't that ridiculously large, it's just... it's not that there's no chance of winning, provided that some "Old Huang" steps up!

Forget about any Greater Daemon, even a blessed Chosen of the Gods could sweep through over 90% of the Hive City, especially someone like "Chris," who perfectly aligns with the Khorne number. If nothing unexpected happens... this planet will become the nest where a new "Greater Daemon" is born!

"Company Commander... can we win?"

Just then, Alvin heard Diz's voice behind him.

Just kidding, do you think you can win?

You're dead meat, bro!

"Old Huang, Old Huang... if you don't step up your game soon, I'm really going to be chopped into mincemeat!" Alvin thought bitterly, but still gripped his Power sword tightly, assumed a fighting stance, and stared intently at "Chris" with eyes like a hawk.

It's not entirely without a chance!

Grey risked his life to create an opportunity for him!

The blast of Melta shattered Chris's armor, weakening her defenses, and the arm that Grey severed, in a way, increased Alvin's chances of winning by one percent!

Surely no one really thinks that just because the "Chosen of the Gods" is missing an arm, he's just someone to be manipulated at will, right?

That's in comparison to "Dreadnought" and "Company Champion".

For Alvin, a mere mortal still struggling at the bottom of society, covered in mud, there is basically no difference, unless "Chris" releases him into the sea!

But... looking at "Chris" who seemed to want to devour him alive, Alvin felt that the possibility was extremely slim.

Chris, now back in the fray, exuded an even stronger killing intent, as if the surrounding air temperature had dropped several times over, and the wails of countless souls echoed around her.

Perhaps it was because they were driven to a dead end.

This caused an almost sickly flush to gradually appear on Alvin's face. In that murderous intent that could almost crush his bones, there was not a trace of fear, but rather... a desire to fight!

"Come..."

He licked his lips, and like a wild beast, charged towards "Chris": "Let's see who gets hacked to death first!"

The battle was exhilarating!

By squeezing every inch of his muscles to the limit and unleashing unprecedented power, Alvin, in a state of extreme mental excitement, briefly transcended the realm of humanity!

Boom!

He was incredibly fast, leaving only afterimages.

Even Chris didn't have time to react before she was struck on the axe handle by a sword, causing her to stagger backward.

However, Alvin's offensive did not stop. He pulled out a damaged Mark V from his Personal Space, but instead of wearing it, he used it as long-range firepower to constantly harass "Chris".

Boom boom boom...

The powerful long-range firepower was like a torrential downpour!

Even with Khorne's blessing, such a massive barrage of fire still caused Chris to be blasted backward, her flesh and blood splattered everywhere, emitting screams of agony!

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Chris's rage intensified, she withstood the intense barrage of fire, and with a blood-red Stormfront seemed almost tangible, she shattered the Mark V!

One second ago, Mark V was still in control.

The next second, it was chopped into pieces.

"Grass!"

Alvin cursed inwardly. When he returned to Marvel next time, he would definitely raid Wakanda and make sure to get a full set of Vibranium armor!

But despite his thoughts, his hands didn't stop moving.

Once again, from their Personal Space, they unleashed an S.H.I.E.L.D.. diffusion Energy Bar and set up a makeshift trap.

Buzz!

Just as Chris was about to press her advantage and kill the despicable Alvin with a single axe blow, she unknowingly stepped into a "trap."

The diffusion Energy Bar has been activated!

It spun into the air and released a visible, ring-shaped energy wave that forcefully blocked Chris's path, briefly trapping her in the middle.

"Go to hell!"

Alvin casually hurled "Gravity Uranium," and the container carrying the unique substance slammed into Chris's forehead.

The liquid inside, impacted by the surrounding Energy Bar, immediately altered the surrounding gravity structure, applying hundreds or even thousands of times the gravity to "Chris".

"Ahhhh..."

No matter how angry or how much Chris struggled, she couldn't change the effects of gravity. Her knees buckled, and she slammed heavily onto the ground, creating a dent.

At that moment, Alvin activated his Power sword, his face contorted with bulging veins, roaring ferociously as he swung his arms with all his might towards the neck of "Chris," who was kneeling on the ground!

"Die!!!"

The blade, imbued with Disintegration field, slashed through the air with a terrifyingly cold light, emitting an exhilarating shriek!

"Charge! Company Commander!"

"Kill the heretics, Company Commander!"

"Company Commander, Company Commander!"

The men of the 3rd Company stared wide-eyed and couldn't help but prematurely erupt in cheers of victory.

But, unfortunately.

Opening champagne at halftime is a terrible habit.

Just as the Power sword was about to strike and sever Chris's head, she unleashed her full power in her dying moments. Her flesh swelled, and her bones crackled with terrifying force, as she forcefully broke free from the constraints of gravity!

So close!

The Power sword could have severed her head and ended it all, but it was blocked by Chris's axe.

In the moments before her death, Chris's anger amplified her power, and her body, which was originally like that of a normal human, suddenly swelled several times over, like an inflating balloon!

Its muscles were so swollen that it resembled a demonic muscleman, its blasphemous flesh covered with blasphemous runes. Just one glance was enough to shock Alvin's mind.

Chris looked down at him, her entire face completely distorted, almost indistinguishable from Warp Daemon.

His extremely ugly face was filled with unrestrained muscles, converging into an expression of rage; his eyes gleamed with a blood-red killing intent, gushing out like magma; black breath spewed from his nostrils, scorching and burning.

The blood seemed to have recast her body and soul!

At this moment, "Chris" finally fully possessed the eightfold blessing bestowed upon her by Khorne.

"Asshole..."

Chris's bloodshot eyes, brimming with rage, reflected Alvin's tiny figure. "Don't underestimate the bond between my brother and me!"

"???"

Alvin's eye twitched.

Damn it, who's the villain here?!

Ugh... No recommendations this week.
