Sacrifice Is the Imperium's Foundation; Life Is the Emperor's Currency!
"You think I'd fall for that again?!"
Rashid roared in a low voice, igniting flames, and immediately transformed into a beam of light at top speed, blasting it out.
Bang!
The Plasma Gun flew out of his hand, and Alvin cursed under his breath. He simply drew his Bolter instead.
Like a torrential downpour of bullets, they were unleashed in one go.
The Necrotech Scarab attacked the two of them like a madman, and the two of them attacked each other like madmen, as if they were in the Colosseum in ancient Rome, betting their honor, courage, and lives on all the warriors, giving their all to kill each other, until death do them part!
Under the relentless attacks of the Netherworld Scarabs, the Blood God's sacred artifact shield quietly reached its critical point.
Even from its appearance, you can see the crisscrossing cracks on the surface of the shield, as if it's about to shatter at any moment.
Rashid's expression quickly changed from arrogant and ferocious to fearful.
No, no!
He suddenly realized that he had been dragged on for so long by a piece of trash!
If this fight continues, even if we kill this bastard, he will eventually be exhausted and unable to escape being devoured by the swarm of insects!
Yes, he didn't need to fight to the death with a piece of trash.
Seemingly having figured things out, Rashid suddenly changed his goal, from killing Alvin to figuring out how to escape.
"Trying to run now? Too late!"
Alvin extended his right hand, then suddenly clenched his fist tightly.
The next moment, Rashid, who was trying to escape, felt a violent psychic force coming at him like a tidal wave.
He was slammed against the wall, staring at Alvin in terror. Like a madman, Alvin used his telekinesis to grab him and smash the factory platform beneath his feet.
"Don't be in such a hurry, young master Rashid!"
Alvin, acting like a madman, licked his lips, his face full of madness. "The battle isn't over yet, and you're already running away like this? Do you even deserve to worship the Blood God?"
"Stop! Stop now!"
"If we keep fighting, we'll all die!"
Rashid was terrified and screamed.
Boom!
The already dilapidated upper platform of the foundry was brutally torn apart by Alvin's telekinesis!
Having lost their footing, the two of them fell downwards simultaneously.
With the levitation effect of telekinesis, Alvin did not fall. Instead, he used the gaps in his fall to control his telekinesis to grab the falling rocks and throw them at Rashid.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rashid plummeted from the sky and crashed heavily onto the mid-level platform.
The violent impact left him dazed, as the Rock rained down from above, slamming into the Holy Relic shield like cannonballs.
Regaining consciousness from his dizziness, Rashid looked around at the surrounding cliffs, his face filled with terror and panic. Seeing Alvin charging towards him, he screamed in terror, "Madman! Madman! You're a madman!!!"
"You're right, I am a madman!"
The battle had gone on until now, and the armored vehicle was out of ammunition, but Alvin drew his combat knife, a knife from Catachan.
"Now, none of us can escape." Alvin grinned maniacally, gripping his knife and charging forward. "Look me in the eye, you coward!"
His roar, like a thousand troops, shocked Rashid so much that his pupils contracted and a shiver ran through him!
From initially being confident of victory to now acting rashly and without thinking.
Rashid never imagined that he would be dragged into this predicament by an Underhive.
"Scum! Idiot! Stop it right now!" he shouted in terror, but realizing his life might be in danger, his last shred of fighting spirit quickly faded. "We can work together and escape from here. I'll give you anything you want, just stop!"
Fuck you!
But Rashid was met only with an even fiercer offensive!
Whatever you want, I can give you!
Rashid's eyes were bloodshot as he desperately resisted the madman's relentless attacks, especially the way he was willing to risk his life for another, which terrified him!
I want your life!
Alvin used his telekinesis to grab the shattered steel beam and hurled it directly at Rashid.
Call out!
A steel beam, tens of meters long, streaked across the sky like a cannonball!
"I can give you anything except this!"
In this state of battle, Rashid was truly terrified, stunned by the insane fighting style. Fear gnawed at his last remaining will to fight, like a leech clinging to his bones.
You could even say it's a contest now, a test of willpower!
Both Alvin and Rashid are Psyker, and while frantically absorbing the power of the Warp, they are also suffering severe side effects!
The situation seemed to have reached a complete stalemate, but it was clear to anyone with a discerning eye that both of them had reached their limits.
To be precise, although Alvin suppressed Rashid throughout, he clearly expended more energy, especially with such a dangerous power as Psychic Power.
Although the personal Void Shield generated by the Rose Knot protected him from a large number of Necrotech Scarab.
However, the mental energy amplified by the armor was greatly depleted during the intense battle, causing Alvin to suffer from a splitting headache and even make his breathing rapid!
That's a side effect of frequently using Psychic Power. Suffocation!
If this continues, Alvin will soon suffocate, and Rashid will instantly turn the tide, resulting in a crushing defeat!
No!
This can't be done!
Winnie, who had been lying on his back the whole time, realized she had to do something!
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Plasma Gun that had also fallen, not far away.
The image of her mentor flashed through Winnie's mind.
"I will not become Inquisitor like you, but I will uphold the duties of an Inquisitor!"
"To punish heretics, for the Emperor, for humanity!"
Winnie forcefully ripped off the Rose Knot and Alvin's hand. "I'll create an opportunity for you!"
Having said that, without waiting for Alvin to stop her, she jumped off the armor.
Upon landing, he rolled to dissipate the force, and then without hesitation, he sprinted off in a certain direction!
"Are you fucking crazy?! Come back here right now!"
Alvin's eyes widened in fury, and he cursed in horror.
Surrounded by swarms of Necrotech Scarab, this was tantamount to suicide, yet Winnie did exactly that!
"I'm not crazy, I'm perfectly sober!"
Winnie's eyes were filled with determination as she continued her frantic run, her voice devoid of fear, chillingly calm. "The moment I became Inquisitor, my mentor told me that sacrifice is the cornerstone of the Imperium, the currency of the Emperor of Life!"
"And our duty is to become the cornerstone of the Imperium, the currency of the Emperor!"
Besides the Rose Knot badge given to her by the Vought, she also possessed a Deflection Field Defence Device.
Of course, against the creations of the Necron, the Deflection Field Defence Device is a joke, at most able to delay them for a pitiful ten seconds.
But all Winnie needed were those few precious seconds; she was willing to risk her life to create an opportunity for Alvin!
The ear-piercing buzzing of the Canoptek Scarab Swarm immediately spotted Winnie, who was alone. Like a dark cloud sweeping in, they engulfed her in an instant!
Surrounded by swarms of insects, the Deflection Field Defence Device issued a warning, and the shield crumbled inch by inch.
However, Winnie never showed the slightest fear throughout. She found the lost Plasma Gun, bent down to pick it up, and aimed it at Rashid.
The Canoptek Scarab Swarm, ironically, became their best refuge!
"I am Winnie Winslet, Inquisitor of the Imperium!"
Winnie's eyes were resolute, filled with a death-defying determination, as she forcefully pulled the trigger. "By the Emperor, please forgive me for no longer being able to serve you!"
Boom!
The scorching plasma disrupted the airflow, carving out a visible "tunnel" amidst the chaotic swarm of insects!
A tiny, blazing ball of light, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, crashed violently into Rashid, who was caught completely off guard!
His entire attention was focused on Alvin, and he completely ignored the Inquisitor who was surrounded by the swarm of insects.
Winnie kept her word and truly created a fleeting opportunity for Alvin!
That's... plasma?!
Rashid's eyes widened in fury; his flawed judgment had sown the seeds of his own downfall!
It was too close. Winnie was too close to him; there was no way she could dodge.
Boom!
You can always trust the loyal Plasma Gun!
The extremely high temperature of hydrogen-based plasma is difficult to completely defend against, even by Holy Relic bestowed by the Blood God!
Moreover, under the relentless onslaught of the Necrotech Scarab and Alvin's repeated attacks, this Holy Relic's shield had already been shattered and was on the verge of breaking at any moment.
The extremely high-temperature plasma explosion blasted Rashid away once again, sending him crashing heavily into the rock wall.
Ignoring the pain in his body, he stared in horror at the now cracked Holy Relic shield. "No, stop, stop!"
However, the Deflection Field Defence Device had not yet been breached, and Winnie, who was on the countdown to her death, did not hesitate to pull the trigger a second, a third, a fourth, and a fifth time!
"Great Emperor, please bestow your mercy."
Winnie remained expressionless, silently and devoutly praying to the Master of Mankind who had sat upon the Golden Throne for millennia, protecting the Imperium.
I do not ask you to redeem my life, nor do I ask you to protect my soul.
"I, Winnie Winslet, beg you, great Emperor, Omnissiah, to keep my Plasma Gun from overheating!"
Click!
Fifth shot, fifth attempt!
A scorching white ball of light miraculously erupted, leaving a bright trail in its wake!
"Great Emperor, once again, bless me and vanquish the heretics!"
Winnie screamed at the top of her lungs, completely disregarding whether the next shot would ignite the gun and blow her to pieces.
The trigger was pulled, as if Omnissiah had truly heard the prayer of this devout believer.
Loyal plasma never overheats!
The sixth shot, fired!
