This mouth was covered with countless sharp fangs, and thick yellow saliva dripped continuously from the fangs, making a sizzling sound on the scalding floor.
It opened and closed, making strange hoarse sounds, like it was howling in hunger.
Immediately afterwards, Ragnar dragged his mangled body and lunged at the pile of corpses in the center of the hall in an extremely eerie manner.
He wasn't running; he was on all fours like a wild animal, his body contorted at an unnatural angle, yet his speed was astonishing.
"What is he trying to do?" one of the guards exclaimed.
Dominic's brow furrowed deeply.
He didn't know what the monster wanted to do.
But he knew he absolutely couldn't let him succeed.
Whatever he wants to get from those corpses, he must be stopped.
Stop him!
Dominic roared.
The power backpack on the back of the Celestial Lions Armour instantly burst into blue flames.
His body shot towards Ragnar like a cannonball.
He was equipped with a huge Power Claw in each hand, and the disintegration field on the claw blades shimmered with a dangerous pale blue light.
"For the Emperor!"
Behind him, four bodyguards, also clad in Celestial Lions Armour, rushed out as well.
These four bodyguards did not possess the same formidable physical attributes as Dominic; they had undergone more than 30% mechanical modifications.
They traded steel and electrical circuits, along with absolute loyalty to the Emperor, for the ability to control the Celestial Lions Armour.
"Kill!"
Renix also realized what was happening.
She gripped her Guardian Spear again and led the remaining Sisters of Silence and her personal guards to flank them from both sides.
No matter how terrifying this monster is.
They all had to fight to the very last moment.
For the Emperor.
For the sake of humanity as well.
Ragnar had already rushed to the pile of corpses.
His enormous mouth on his stomach suddenly opened to its maximum size.
A terrifying suction force erupted from the giant mouth.
The corpses closest to him were instantly sucked off the ground, flying into the greedy giant mouth along with the metal fragments.
"Click, click."
A chilling chewing sound rang out.
The sounds of bones being crushed and flesh being torn apart were particularly jarring in the empty hall.
The corpse was then swallowed.
Something unexpected happened.
Ragnar's injuries are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Large patches of carbonized skin peeled off, revealing new, tougher, dark green skin growing underneath.
The exposed bones were enveloped by new muscle and blood vessels, and the broken limbs were also growing and healing rapidly.
His aura is approaching its peak.
"Oh no! He's consuming corpses to regain his strength!"
Dominic immediately noticed something amiss, and his expression changed drastically.
He suddenly accelerated and rushed in front of Ragnar.
"Die!"
Dominic roared, his claws flashing out with a whistling sound as they tore through the air, aiming for Ragnar's head.
He wanted to tear the monster's head off, along with its disgusting mouth.
"Roar!!!"
Ragnar suddenly raised his head.
Incredibly, a new eye grew in his empty eye socket.
This eye is a pure dark green, with no whites and no pupil, radiating an inhuman light.
He threw a punch at Dominic.
"Clang!!!"
The iron fist and the Power Claw collided violently.
The immense force caused Dominic's body to slide backward three meters, the soles of his Celestial Lions Armour boots sparking brightly as they scraped against the marble floor.
He looked down.
A crack had appeared on the Power Claw, which was made of pure Adamantium.
A storm raged within Dominic's heart.
The Power Claw of the Celestial Lions Armour are Forge World's most advanced technology, making them powerful enough to tear apart Terminator Armour.
He actually managed to crack it with his bare hands by this Orks guy?
Just how terrifying has his power become?
In the instant Dominic was shocked...
Ragnar had already begun to devour the remnants of the Stormblade beside him.
This guy even takes metal.
His injuries were quickly healed to 70% through the absorption process, and his dark green skin began to show a faint metallic sheen.
His once broken body has become strong and full of explosive power again.
The giant mouth on his stomach licked its lips, making a satisfied gurgling sound.
"Delicious! Goffs!"
Ragnar laughed in a harsh, strained voice, "More... more..."
His gaze swept over everyone present, as if he were looking at a sumptuous feast.
The giant mouth on his stomach opened even wider.
An even stronger suction force erupted, pulling several more corpses in.
"We can't let him eat any more!"
This was the consensus of everyone present.
Renix charged to Ragnar's side first, his Guardian Spear wielding immense force as he thrust it fiercely into the giant mouth on Liangner's stomach.
"Shut up!"
"Pfft!"
The spear pierced the giant mouth.
Dark green blood spurted out and splattered all over the ground.
"Awooo!!!"
Ragnar let out a furious roar.
He suddenly turned his head and swiftly brought down a chop.
Renix quickly sidestepped and used his thickest shoulder armor to block.
A loud bang.
Renix was thrown backward as if hit by a truck, crashing heavily into the wall.
This time, the already cracked shoulder armor was completely shattered, and bright red blood flowed out from the gaps in the helmet.
The resilient Adeptus Custodes did not rise again as they had before.
Renix!
Ralfa hurriedly got up, but the electric current still left her completely numb.
Ragnar did not chase after the fallen Renix.
His gaze fell on Dominic.
He licked his lips, revealing a cruel smile.
"Now,"
He took a step forward, and the entire hall trembled slightly under his footsteps.
"Your turn, hehehe~~~"
After consuming everything, his size continued to expand.
Its body, which was originally four meters tall, has now grown to nearly five meters.
His injuries have fully healed, and he is even stronger than he was at his peak.
A suffocating sense of oppression emanated from him, pressing down on everyone's hearts as if it were a tangible weight.
Dominic stood there, his heart pounding.
He couldn't help but ask himself the same question.
What kind of monster were they facing?
But as his gaze swept over the corpses scattered on the ground, Dominic suddenly realized...
These were his most loyal soldiers.
They are the most elite warriors of the Ventria Family.
They paid the ultimate price to protect him and to safeguard the Gemstone.
He then looked at Renix, who was leaning against the wall, his life hanging in the balance, and at Ralfa, who was lying in the arms of a medic, covered in wounds.
They are the Imperium's finest warriors.
They nearly lost their lives trying to stop the monster from getting closer.
An indescribable rage erupted in Dominic's chest like a volcano.
His pride and his dignity were completely ignited at that moment.
He is Dominic Ventria.
It is the pride of the Ventria Family.
He is a rear admiral in the Imperium's navy.
He cannot lose.
I absolutely cannot allow myself to lose.
He must make this monster pay the price it deserves!
" Celestial Lions Squad, listen to my command, prepare for battle!"
Dominic's voice was transmitted to the ears of the four Celestial Lions guards via communicator.
"Yes, sir!"
