Chapter 162
Energy: 49%
Depleting 31% of her energy in one go is comparable to performing a deadlift, and she needs time to recover.
If she were to empty her bladder all at once, she would definitely feel exhausted for a while.
Fortunately, the red-haired Angel recovered after two seconds and continued, "Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."
The energy began to burn again, and the rate of combustion gradually increased.
This will allow the red-haired Angel to use as much micro-management energy as possible to reach the Golden Throne.
The sphere moved.
At first, it was slow; compared to the vastness of Mars and the chaos of the battlefield, it was but a tiny speck of dust.
But the next second, the dust particle transformed into a dazzling streak of light, breaking free from the lingering gravitational pull of Mars' orbit.
Without hesitation, she shot into the depths of that vast starry sea, heading towards Terra, the sacred home of the Human Imperium at the far center of the Solar System.
Upon witnessing this, many Chaos warships fired their cannons to stop the sphere of light from advancing.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh." Xiao Huasheng gritted his teeth, enduring the discomfort of energy depletion, and neutralized the attacks before charging out.
Midway, it also collided with a Chaos warship, a Chaos warship that was trying to block its path was hit head-on by this streak of light.
There was no violent explosion, only a crack like a hot knife slicing through butter.
Boom!!
The warship collapsed towards the center of the impact point in the silent universe, and was torn in two in the blink of an eye, immediately turning into a fireball that briefly expanded!
The sphere itself did not decrease in speed, and not even a ripple appeared.
Xiao Huasheng chuckled and said, "Excuse me, may I pass by?"
After this incident, the group continued on their way.
In such a reckless output of energy, any attack is futile.
The red-haired Angel led everyone across the universe, heading towards the Terra.
With such reckless energy output and precise manipulation, the sphere reached an unbelievable speed.
The stars are no longer fixed points of light in the background, but have been stretched into long, backward-flying silver threads.
Mars's decaying giant eye shrank rapidly behind them, while in front, the sunlight gradually became clearer and warmer.
Terra, the planet where humanity originated, began to emerge from the dark fabric of space.
Terra, the sacred heart of the Human Imperium, rapidly magnified in the field of vision.
Almost the instant the sphere entered near-Earth orbit, Terra's densely packed, honeycomb-like planetary defense system was triggered.
Tens of thousands of sensor arrays simultaneously locked onto this uninvited, dazzling stream of light.
The Macro-cannon array on the orbital platform began to rotate heavily, and the Void Shield generators lit up layer by layer.
We are preparing to build an insurmountable energy barrier.
However, before the interception command was fully issued and the defense network had just begun to activate, the streak of light had already arrived.
Call out--
Its trajectory points straight to the most magnificent man-made complex on the planet's surface, Imperial Palace, located in the Himalayas.
The palace's multi-layered Void Shield system made its final, autonomous response.
Even after it was opened, a hole was still smashed in it.
The Void Shield is a means of redirecting attacks into the Warp. Theoretically, crashing into it like that would definitely send you directly into the Warp.
However, under Xiao Huasheng's drastically altered rules, the Void Shield has clearly lost its effectiveness for the time being.
Fortunately, it only lasted a moment, and the gap was filled again.
It then pierced through the seemingly indestructible ancient structure behind the shield on the spot.
Bang!
The next second, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the sky—not a purely physical impact—the streak of light precisely struck the depths of the palace complex!
In the end, however, the red-haired Angel's energy was completely drained, and she directly entered the 5% circuit breaker danger threshold, which Angela immediately pulled the plug on the spot.
It still took a hard hit.
The crowd lay sprawled on the ground.
The not-so-bright red-haired Angel lay on the ground with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, a cute brown-haired girl, arms crossed and surrounded by a group of Adeptus Custodes, tilted her head and looked at Xiao Huasheng, asking him a question.
"Why not just teleport here?"
Xiao Huasheng's answer to this was...
"I... I didn't expect this..."
Chapter Twenty-Six: Blue Coo-Coo! [Happy National Day!]
"It's alright, these trivial matters can be put aside." The Emperor said, his hands behind his back, looking down into the palace grounds, as if he could see directly through the Webway gate and into the scene behind it.
At that moment, the imperial guards beside the Emperor brought over a huge iron box.
As the box fell, numerous energy bars leaked out, making Xiao Huasheng's eyes light up.
While eating these things isn't exactly a pleasant experience, once you get to eat them, many other problems can be easily solved.
While eating, Xiao Huasheng put some of the energy bars into Lobotomy Corporation.
Angela then placed the excess energy bar into a non-energy-consuming alternate dimension.
She practically lunged forward, sitting down directly on the ground, leaning against the cold box, and grabbing a few energy bars.
She bit off the packaging along with it, stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation, and began to chew it heartily.
The energy bars don't taste great; they're dry, dense, and have a smell like wall plaster.
But Xiao Huasheng had no time to care about any of that.
As she swallowed the food, streams of pure and gentle energy began to flow into her almost parched body like a stream.
She could clearly feel that the energy reserves, which had been rapidly declining and had reached their bottom, were beginning to recover at an astonishing speed.
Energy: 5%... 6%...8%...
The numbers were rapidly fluctuating in a corner of her consciousness.
While wolfing down her food, she didn't forget to grab a handful of energy bars and stuff them into her Lobotomy Corporation without even looking at them.
"Why are you paying me in advance?" Xiao Huasheng asked curiously, chewing on a tasteless stick as she spoke.
Just looking at the energy bars here, it seems enough to replenish about 500% of your energy.
Even if Xiao Huasheng eats a little, he can still replenish his strength.
I have to say, having food stored in the warehouse feels really great.
In response, the Emperor stated, "The threat of Chaos is imminent. We have already obtained the Armor of Fate of Destiny. Regardless of whether we succeed this time, what we promised must be delivered."
"I didn't expect you to be such a nice person, sob sob--" Xiao Huasheng said vaguely.
With that, the Emperor bypassed her and went to Cawl.
Looking down at the Emperor, Cawl asked in astonishment.
"What's wrong with you looking like this?"
"It's just an avatar," the brown-haired loli said. Clearly, this was the only human body in the world that the Emperor could possess. As for the effect of having a thousand faces, in the current Chaos world where the Reality Veil is extremely Distortion, the Emperor did not use it.
Instead, the Emperor used this power to reinforce the surrounding Psychic Power defenses. Faced with a formidable enemy, he could only reveal himself in his true form as a loli.
"This armor isn't finished yet; it's still far from complete..."
After a brief moment of shock at the Emperor's appearance, Cawl spoke in a low voice.
Now, thousands upon thousands of years have passed, and even with his vast knowledge of forbidden subjects, he still cannot complete the Armor of Fate.
The current Armor of Fate Destiny can only be considered to have reached 75% of its potential; for Cawl, it is merely a rudimentary form.
"Just leave it to me, and everything will be taken care of."
The Emperor's incarnation as a brown-haired loli went straight to Belisarius Cawl, the Great Sage of the Mechanicus.
Cawl's massive mechanical body lowered slightly, and a complex array of sensors focused on that seemingly petite yet imposing figure.
Without a word, several mechanical appendages on Cawl's torso began to work in unison.
One of the thickest appendages, used to secure important items, slowly moved to the front of the main body.
With a hiss, the locking mechanism at the end of the appendage hissed, and with a surge of air, the latches securing the metal box containing the semi-finished "Armor of Fate" popped open.
Another, more agile appendage, covered with precision sensors, gently extended and steadily supported the heavy bottom of the enclosure.
The entire process was smooth and solemn, a handover ceremony that Cawl had rehearsed countless times.
Cawl smoothly handed the metal box forward.
The Emperor's avatar raised a slender arm, palm facing upward, in a gesture of receiving.
When the metal box was gently placed in her palm, it did not sag at all.
She didn't open it immediately to inspect it; instead, she swept her deep eyes across the surface of the box, her fingertips lightly touching the cold metal.
A barely perceptible golden ray of light entered the box from her fingertip, the light flashing and disappearing like a living thing within the patterns on the box's surface.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred.
Rumble!!
The box containing the Armor of Fate suddenly burst open, revealing the armor itself inside!
An extremely eerie light emerged from the Armor of Fate, and a terrifying Psychic Power storm shattered the Psychic Power defenses erected by the Emperor with overwhelming force.
Even the Emperor was caught off guard by this scene and looked at Cawl before him.
At this moment, 'Cawl' narrowed his mechanical eyes, revealing his true appearance.
"Hmm... Can you feel this unknown?" At this moment, Cawl had completely revealed his true identity.
An indescribable pressure instantly filled the entire Imperial Palace.
The body that appeared was that of a blue-haired, bird-beaked girl with her eyes closed, who then opened her eyes with a smile.
Those were two bottomless whirlpools, reflecting not the scene before them, but countless intertwined, broken, born, and annihilated possibilities and futures.
Just one glance is enough to feel as if billions of chaotic thoughts and a vast amount of knowledge are forcibly crammed into the viewer's mind, enough to overload and break any mental capacity in an instant.
All the Adeptus Custodes soldiers, despite their battle-hardened experience and steely resolve, froze instantly under the gaze of those extremely unsettling eyes.
His golden helmet trembled slightly, and the knuckles of his hand gripping the power halberd creaked from the excessive force, his mind almost being devoured by the endless changes in those eyes.
"How dare you enter the Material Realm?!" The Emperor's avatar uttered a chilling shout.
Her petite body instantly burst forth with a golden light as brilliant as a star.
All the Adeptus Custodes soldiers staggered violently, as if waking from a nightmare, their resolve and vigilance rekindled.
But before the Adeptus Custodes could act, the Emperor's incarnation and the Tzeentch's incarnation were already locked in combat.
The earth trembled violently, and all bystanders were shaken back, leaving only the terrifying battlefield at the center.
At this moment, in the face of divine battle, even the Adeptus Custodes is no different from mortals.
"A clumsy imitation, Master of Change!" The Emperor's avatar's voice was filled with unusual rage. "Your tricks end here!"
The Armor of Fate is real! And the Emperor's incarnation doesn't possess much Psychic Power.
This is why the Emperor was not aware of the attack immediately.
Chapter Twenty-Seven: What is this? [2 Updates]
After all, this was direct damage from Chaos Gods.
At this moment, the light of the Astronomican on the Golden Throne flickered, clearly indicating that the Emperor was about to get serious.
The Tzeentch avatar, mimicking Cawl's form, let out a low, pleasant laugh.
"A trick? No, it's just... a greeting," she said in that mixed voice, "And a little hint... about 'fate'."
