For Imperial World, the huge changes in just a few hours are terrifying enough.

The orbital defense platform was engulfed by Daemon summoned by Chaos Sorcery and eventually fell into the hands of the enemies of Imperium.

Communications were severely disrupted.

The identity of the enemy was confirmed, and he was the sinner who betrayed Emperor.

The dense Orbital Strike shredded the only two Hive City's Void Shield on Planet.

Twisted and grotesque strange creatures and Chaos Traitors attack Hive World.

In a short period of time, the Planet defense force lost nearly a quarter of its manpower.

Hive City's outer wall was even directly breached by the opponent.

A large number of Imperium nobles went straight to the secret shelter prepared by their families to take shelter.

Planetary Governor, on the other hand, hid directly in Fortress, the deepest secret of Hive City, and prepared to wait for rescue.

However, it was the first time that the Men of Iron army, which had only been heard in rumors, came to this world.

Chaos Daemons and those twisted monster creatures were easily destroyed.

Even the renegade Astartess were easily torn apart like the fragile Mortals soldiers.

The enemy's Bolter fired streaks of fire on those silver-white Machine Body but could not stop the opponent's progress.

And the Plasma and Melta and various other weapons just leave some ugly spots on the armor.

Mortal Rebels The Laser fired by them were refracted and scattered in all directions on the opponent's mirror-like silver armor.

Those sonic weapons that can blast all the soldiers in the trench into bloody foam with one shot have no effect at all on those Machine Body.

All the killings are cold and efficient.

Traitors's attacks rarely produce results.

And these steel Mechanical Constructs are performing a massacre on the enemy in front of the PDFs.

The cloud of death has shifted from everyone in Imperium to the enemy Chaos. This is not the greatest encouragement.

Planetary Governor, who also serves as the planetary defense general, hides in the underground secret Fortress and has no idea what is happening outside.

Under the orders of Planetary Defense Force's loyal middle-level commanders, the PDFs began to defend with several times the number of the opponent, blocking the enemy from the defense line.

Lacking training and combat experience, they do not need to try to defeat the enemy. They only need to firmly guard their defense lines, squat behind the bunker and project firepower as much as possible to block the enemy, and then wait for the opponent to be completely engulfed by those steel friendly forces.

And the reality was exactly what they expected.

Mechanical Army quickly pushed the front line to the forefront of the battle, and all enemies were completely eliminated.

Then these Machine Body flashed and disappeared on the battlefield in arcs of light.

If it weren't for the large amount of foul-smelling blood mist scattered on the ground and the sub-Spatial Energy mixed in the air, all this would have seemed like a dream.

When Planet was in jubilation, Iax sent the rescued Astartes to the surface and notified the local Inquisition to deal with these unlucky warriors.

The local Inquisitor brought a group of elite troops from Inquisition Fortress to welcome the arrival of these dozen Angels of the Emperor.

Even if these angels are not wearing Power Armour, they still have many scars on their bodies.

But his tall body and unique temperament convinced them.

As for those Mortals that were delivered together, they were sent to a temporary stronghold near the military camp.

Waiting for them will be PDF volley shooting.

Inquisitors will not believe that Mortals can be imprisoned by Chaos without being contaminated.

Mortals can't afford Imperium's Ministorum Priest to organize an exorcism ceremony for them.

Rather than spending energy identifying these unfortunate Mortals, it may be the cheapest and most efficient way to send them directly to Emperor to confess their sins.

As long as the number of people is slightly increased in the battle report losses, no one will care about these civilians who don't know which world they come from.

And these have nothing to do with Iax.

Iax took over the body of a Sentinel and came to the temporary cabin where Fabius was imprisoned.

In view of Fabius's unusually calm posture, Iax examined his body.

Sequencing scans soon revealed the body's secrets.

"Clone body, Fabius, according to data records, you have been active in Milky Way for tens of thousands of years, but the life index identification of this body shows that its age is only one hundred and thirty-three years old."

"There are multiple genetic damages on the body, showing signs of deterioration. There is a slight genetic breakdown."

Fabius's cloudy eyes were shining, and he looked at Iron Clanks in front of him with interest, pointing out the flaws in his Clone body.

"Tell me, Iron Clanks, what are you going to do?"

Iax raised his hand, and a faint silver light shrouded Sentinel's Neutron Beam Emitter.

As the light flickered slightly, the weapon module disappeared directly, and a ring instrument replaced the weapon module.

"Prisoner, your knowledge may be useful to this unit. In view of this, this unit will extract your memory and grant you eternal peace. Please do not perform unnecessary actions to avoid prolonging your pain."

Seeing that the other party was actually interested in the information in his mind, Fabius was obviously a little surprised.

Although he didn't know how Men of Iron would absorb the knowledge in his mind.

But obviously he didn't want to give it.

And the weird machine in Men of Iron's hand made him feel something was wrong.

"This is just a body that I remotely control using Consciousness Circuit Network. You can't get much information, but I can cooperate with you, Iron Clanks."

However, Iax's body did not stagnate at all.

The ring device surrounded Fabius's head, and a slight buzzing sound gradually sounded.

A strange feeling emerged in Fabius's gradually boiling brain, a feeling of his soul being torn and broken.

The pain originating from the depths of his soul made Fabius howl wildly.

But Fabius's miserable howl made Iax stop moving.

In a daze, he seemed to hear the cold mechanical synthesized sound echoing.

"Technical Project Upgrade Failure, the second modified Mind Thief based on the latest Psychic Power extraction technology has an abnormality, and it is suspected that deep data corruption may occur."

"Reset its technical blueprint. Execute Emergency Measure to try to restore the biological state and wait for re-reading."

A Panacea was injected into the body of Fabius.

In an instant, the body in front of him was healed quickly, and Fabius felt as if he had returned to his mother's arms.

Free from all pain.

The original feeling of fragmentation in my soul no longer exists.

Warm and comfortable.

The shape of the bald head changed, thick gray-white hair grew out, the ferocious face became handsome, and the contaminated genetic sequence from Fulgrim was decomposed.

A faint fluorescent light kept flashing on him.

"What did you do to me?!"

When Fabius regained consciousness, he immediately wanted to leave this body. He never wanted to feel the feeling of his soul being torn apart again.

But he discovered a problem: his conscious body could not escape from this Clone body.

The ring device in Machine Body's hand seemed to have changed slightly in front of him, but when he saw it covering his head again, Fabius let out an unbearable cry for the first time.

"No! No matter what you want to do, I will cooperate. I don't want to experience the pain of tearing my soul anymore!"
