On the outer porthole of Sword of the Void, Jaghatai glanced at the astonishing giant cannon through the observation window, and then looked at Attendant Men of Iron following him with some uncertainty.

Attendant There is a control panel of Holographic Projection floating in front of Men of Iron.

The above shows the charging status of this giant cannon.

Just press the fire button above and this giant cannon will be activated.

Two kilometers above the muzzle, the cage holding Perturabo and the Heavy Drone Fighter, which is regarded as a consumable, will be enveloped by the beam.

With the eyesight brought by Jaghatai's superhuman body, even in the twisted and weird Warp, he could still easily see the small black dot in front of the muzzle with his naked eyes.

There is also a picture in Holographic Projection.

The high-definition optical vision even allowed him to clearly see the depressed expression of Perturabo in the void.

But all this is a bit beyond imagination.

After all, it would be too scary to execute a prisoner with such a terrible weapon.

However, Attendant Men of Iron did not have too much explanation for the doubts about Jaghatai.

"Executioner, the weapon is ready, and the prisoner has reached the optimal shooting range. Press the switch to activate the weapon, and the execution will end within half a second."

Jaghatai glanced at the small black dot in the void again.

Then a lot of scenes from the Great Crusade period flashed back in my mind, and the fingers wrapped in Power Armour passed through Holographic Projection heavily.

"Zizzi!"

You can clearly see the huge cannon starting to light up outside the porthole window.

A horrifying aura flickered on the cannon, and was immediately released from the muzzle.

The terrifying light shot straight into the void.

But just when the thick beam of light was about to engulf the Perturabo cage, a huge magic circle suddenly emerged from the Warp wave.

Perturabo, who was about to die, suddenly disappeared.

Only the empty cage and Heavy Drone Fighter were left engulfed by the beam.

The huge beam struck out a real Energy Void among the Warp.

Even Chaos Energy has been completely decomposed.

The distant beam of light sank into the wave of Warp, completely erasing the countless Daemon hidden within it.

Sea of Souls made a wave.

The violent energy tide even pushed Sword of the Void and the entire Imperial Fleet outward a lot.

The hit cage Heavy Drone Fighter dissipated directly.

In Warp, even their concept of matter has been destroyed.

Just when Jaghatai thought everything was over.

Sword of the Void But a piercing alarm sound sounded.

Titan Ship's firepower is fully activated, and countless beams of different sizes burst out at vertical upward angles.

For a time, this space was completely illuminated.

The terrible energy shock even caused the entire fleet to continuously rise and fall in Warp.

"What happened?!"

Against this terrible firepower, the power of an individual is extremely small.

Even Primarch is the same.

At this moment Jaghatai could only raise his head, look around and ask Attendant Men of Iron on the side.

"Some kind of Chaos Sorcery took the opportunity to rescue the prisoner Perturabo."

"The energy trajectory comes from directly above the fleet. The Warp wave obscures the opponent's specific position. It is suspected that there is some kind of incomprehensible Energy Barrier as a cover."

"Since the exact location of the opponent cannot be determined for the time being, in order to prevent the prisoners from escaping, fire coverage is being implemented in the area."

As countless beams of light sank into deep space.

Energy Void set off a huge wave.

Countless space faults and various chaotic times impact the fleet.

All Imperium troop members were frightened by the horrific aftermath, which was enough to tear any Imperial Fleet apart.

Even Sword of the Void's giant shield shook slightly.

"Failed to evaluate the impact of the strike."

"Unable to confirm whether the prisoners have been eliminated. Currently..."

"Boom!"

A terrible energy flow suddenly appeared, and then impacted on Sword of the Void's shield. The shield that was originally shaking due to the aftermath of the attack suddenly began to tremble violently.

Just beside the entire Punitive Expedition fleet, a huge magic circle is blooming with shining blue light.

The terrifying torrent of dark blue energy rushes straight into the center of Sword of the Void.

The energy flow quickly penetrated the outer layer of Energy Shield, and then began to penetrate further.

And Imperial Fleet surrounding the void were a little desperate.

The ship, under the command of Captain, tried to avoid the direction of the attack.

However, another light blue shield suddenly lit up after the outer shield failed.

Sword of the Void's hull suddenly became sparkling.

Countless giant pure Psychic Crystal reflected the entire fleet in light blue.

The defensive effect of Psychic Shield against Warp spells is far better than that of regular Energy Shield.

Even though this shield was only half as thick as the original Energy Shield, it successfully blocked the energy attack generated by Chaos Sorcery.

That unknown force was obviously very familiar with this Warp environment. With the help of the chaotic time and space and the cover of Chaos Energy, it skillfully avoided Men of Iron's firepower while constantly exerting pressure on Sword of the Void.

Iax's Main Logic Core is operating at full capacity, analyzing the enemy's attack patterns and energy characteristics.

The energy fluctuations of these Chaos Sorcery are extremely strange, and are different from any Chaos power that they have come into contact with before. They seem to incorporate the power of multiple twisted laws.

Every attack carries a power that blurs the boundaries between reality and Warp, making the shield system extremely difficult to deal with.

Sword of the Void suddenly set off a huge energy tide.

Spatial Energy was continuously pumped into the hull.

Energy Separation Device starts operating at full power.

Pure Psychic Power is no longer sent to Energy Compression Device but directly supplied to the Psychic Shield system.

Although the Psychic Crystal on the hull collapsed a lot, the strength of the shield began to rise linearly.

The enemy, sensing that something was wrong, immediately mobilized more power.

Deep in Warp, Tzeentch Daemon Kairos stood on the bow of a Thousand Sons Strike Cruiser waving his Chaos Artifact.

This attack was no accident.

The purpose of Men of Iron is so pure and direct.

After the punishment fleet entered Warp, Magnus soon felt the purest uneasiness.

Under his leadership, the Thousand Sons Sorcerers began to work with Magnus to try to use Psychic Power to detect the source of the uneasiness.

With Changer of Ways's blessing, Magnus's precognitive ability has become very amazing.

However, Men of Iron is a soulless existence. He can only see a cold shadow that will quickly destroy Iron Warriors Fortress who is guarding the door of Eye of Terror and continue to rush towards him.

Not even Perturabo himself could escape.

For the anxiety of the unknown, Magnus arranged in advance for Progeny to lurk outside Fortress World Medrengard before the future happened.

Thousand Sons used the knowledge from Tzeentch to confuse those Chaos Sorcerers and arranged Blood Sacrifice Runes in advance.

In the end, when Men of Iron destroyed the entire Fortress World, those polluted Mortals souls became sacrifices.

And Thousand Sons used these sacrifices to summon Tzeentch's beloved Greater Daemon Kairos.

And told the other party Magnus's plan.

Hearing that Magnus was trying to bring new changes to his destiny, Kairos naturally agreed.

Tzeentch Greater Daemon forcibly abducted Perturabo at Chaos Sorcery hosted by Warp himself.

And the terrible Chaos Sorcery is brewing, preparing to subvert the fate of the entire Punitive Expedition fleet.
