The two Primarch were silent, looking at each other amidst the deadly radiation.
The red light emitted from the core of the furnace danced between the two, lengthening and flattening their shadows. The heat wave distorted their vision, making the two look at each other through an invisible curtain of fire.
Omega stood on the slightly red metal platform, Power Spear lay horizontally beside him, the tip of his spear hanging low.
Russ also did not put down his weapon, but the look on his face was no longer pure murderous intent.
He looked at Omega, looked at those blue eyes, looked at the direction of Spear, and bit by bit, pieced together a shape from those broken clues.
An answer he almost didn't dare to say.
He gradually understood the intention of Omega.
If this is really the core of Gungnir and the power source of the weapon that can obliterate an entire Star System, then what is the thing that really should be destroyed?
It's not the brother in front of me, but the running Reactor under my feet.
Introducing a Primarch who is loyal to Emperor into this Reactor, he does not hesitate to pretend to be a traitor, fights bloody battles with himself, and risks being discovered by Utio.
All of this is guiding him towards the only goal.
Russ Can't say it.
Because both he and Omega knew that this Reactor might still be filled with processors and monitoring devices. Any words that could be interpreted as collusion could cause them to be overwhelmed by more Daemons Engine and firepower in the next second.
Therefore, he just grasped the Battle Axe tightly again and nodded his head in an imperceptible amount.
Boom!
Spear in Omega's hand strikes again.
The tip of the spear, with an afterimage of distorted air, pierced Russ's throat.
Russ then dodged and avoided, turning sideways to let the Spear pass by his chest and stabbing Control Console behind him.
The terrifying Force Field tore the metal-cast Control Console from the inside the moment the spear tip exploded.
The panels cracked, the pipelines were twisted, and the entire Control Console was destroyed in an instant.
The metal scraps were crushed into thin powder by the power of Primarch, exploded in all directions, and were swept into the glow of the furnace by the heat wave.
Russ turned back and looked at the ruins of Control Console that had been completely erased.
Omega The blow just now seemed to be aimed at him, but it accurately hit the most vulnerable node in the entire Reactor.
Russ turned his eyes back to Omega standing in front of him.
The Spear has been withdrawn, and the tip of the spear is pointed at him again.
Omega's posture is still a standard fighting posture, and his breathing is still steady, silently announcing that he is ready to continue this scene.
Russ Got it.
"Whether you are Omega or Alpharius..." Russ whispered.
He raised Battle Axe, and the ancient Winter's Axe made a low buzz in his palm. He took a step forward, and the ax blade drew a wide arc and struck Omega.
"... I believe you for once."
The moment Battle Axe fell, Spear of Omega stepped forward to meet him.
The spear blade and the ax blade collided in the air, making a loud noise that almost tore apart the entire Reactor dome.
The distance between the two people was compressed to zero at the moment of impact, and then suddenly bounced away, and the real fight belonging to Primarch began.
The figures of both sides were intertwined.
Primarch's power and speed were brought into full play at this moment.
Omega's Spear flew like a silver snake in his hand, and each thrust carried enough penetrating power to penetrate Warship's armor.
Russ's Chainsword and Battle Axe are like a pair of wild fangs, one on the left and the other on the right, constantly tearing the air, and each chop will tear out terrifying traces in the surrounding space.
Under their feet, the metal platform was bearing far more than the load, with dents and cracks rapidly spreading with every impact.
In just a few seconds, both sides launched tens of thousands of attacks at the same time.
Every confrontation created a dazzling ball of light in the air, and every block caused the surrounding pipelines to burst or explode.
Their speed was already faster than what the naked eye could capture Mark IV Maximus, and even the radiation was torn into a chaotic whirlpool between the two.
The speed of light cannot describe this battle.
The two sides were fighting at a speed that even Space Marine couldn't see clearly.
Those Servitor and Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii who were still fighting in the distance could only see two blurry figures colliding back and forth in the glow of Reactor's furnace.
Even Adeptus Mechanicus, which is equipped with professional slow-down equipment, cannot capture the movements of Primarch.
In the monitoring array of Command Room, all Sensors are in an extremely saturated state.
The high-speed camera only records fragments of light and shadow. In the thermal imaging picture, two high-speed moving heat sources come and go like wind in the core of Reactor, making it impossible to lock the outline.
Those automatic tracking weapon systems operated by Tech-Priest repeatedly tried to aim, but each time they lost the target after capturing the signal, and eventually entered an overload state.
With bursts of sound breaking through the air and the sounds of countless surrounding instruments being shattered by the terrifying power of the two Primarch, the Reactor area changed from a complete industrial site to a collapsing ruins.
The metal Shell of the cooling pipe was split by Battle Axe, the insulation layer of the energy transmission line was torn apart by Spear, the exposed cables emitted billowing white smoke under the high heat, the entire row of monitors exploded in the aftermath of the impact, and the last flashing image on the screen was frozen in a distorted afterimage.
Every time Russ and Omega fight, more facilities are reduced to pieces.
Finally, Utio noticed something was wrong.
Alarm in Command Room has been connected into a harsh chorus.
Utio's huge body covered with Tentacles slowly rotated, and the red lens on its head swept over the constantly beating data panels.
Tech-Priest people looked up from one post after another and began to report immediately.
"Data is being overloaded, sir. Reactor monitoring nodes are losing signal one by one, and we are losing direct control of the entire core area."
"The cooling system has shut down, and Reactor is overheating. The pressure in the main cooling pipeline has dropped by 40% in just a few seconds, and the backup cooling pump's start signal has not received any response."
"The energy pipeline has been cut off. Multiple pipelines leading to the main energy storage array have broken, and now the energy output from the core is leaking instead of being conducted to the launch unit."
Utio's Tentacles paused in mid-air for a moment, and he set his sights in the direction of Reactor, the spot that was still flashing on the remaining screen of Sensors.
In Utio's mind, the data from Reactor and the events taking place were quickly connected in series.
The cooling system failed, the energy pipeline broke, and the master control node was destroyed...
All this happened after Russ chased Reactor.
If the cooling system cannot be restored, the Reactor will eventually overheat, and the entire Gungnir may become a self-destructing bomb before it is fully recharged.
Now there's only one thing left for him to do.
"Start backup Reactor." Utio gave the order. His voice was smooth, without any panic.
"Link backup lines, speed up energy transmission, and complete this launch at all costs."
Following Utio's command, those machines Tentacles began to operate crazily again under his command, new commands pulsed on Control Console, and the entire Gungnir's huge energy network began to operate again in another way.
The cracked pipes were bypassed, the broken lines were crossed, and a huge torrent of energy passed through the backup channel and rushed in the direction of the launch array.
