" Grip of Domination, activate!"
The moment the words fell, an invisible purple power burst forth from the depths of Lynn's spirit.
A giant purple hand instantly appeared inside the Heldrake's body, gripping the wildly beating Daemon Engine deep within its chest cavity.
Inside the engine, hundreds of imprisoned, desperate souls shrieked mournfully. They had howled for the Chaos Gods for millennia, long since numb and driven mad.
But the moment that giant purple hand descended, all the screams ceased abruptly.
If time had stood still for a moment.
Then, all the souls were put on hold.
The frequency of the Daemon Engine's fluctuations changed abruptly.
No longer roaring for the Lord of Change, no longer burning for Chaos.
With each tremor, it began to obey Lynn's will.
The Heldrake's eyes, which had been blazing with dark blue fury, suddenly went dark.
The deep blue flames faded at a visible speed, replaced by a deep, elegant, and absolutely Domination purple.
Purple flames burned silently in the dragon's eyes. The giant beast's body suddenly stiffened, its open Great Maw quietly closed, and its diving momentum shifted almost imperceptibly.
Luna, riding on the dragon's back, was still immersed in the ecstasy of her impending success.
She had even raised her hand, gathering purplish-black Psychic Power in her palm, preparing to cripple Lynn's limbs with a single blow, rendering him completely incapable of resistance.
She was completely unaware that the Heldrake beneath her, once connected to her soul, had already broken free of her control.
Even the ever-changing mighty power temporarily lost its luster under the suppression of that purple power.
The anticipated scene of biting the target in one bite did not occur.
The Heldrake's massive body almost grazed Lynn's body, and the powerful gust of air forced Lynn back two steps.
Luna was taken aback.
What happened?
Did it miss?
Just as she was about to use her Psychic Power to command the dragon to turn around, the giant beast beneath her suddenly let out a deafening roar and made a sharp turn in mid-air with an extreme range!
The immense centrifugal force instantly flung Luna almost out of their grasp.
"You beast! What are you doing?!"
Luna was both shocked and furious. She quickly slammed the Tzeentch Staff into the dragon's back, attempting to investigate the situation through the soul link.
But the moment her Psychic Power touched the dragon's consciousness, it crashed into a cold, hard purple wall and was instantly bounced back.
How is that possible?!
Her pupils contracted sharply.
She personally sacrificed and summoned this dragon; its soul bears her mark. How could it suddenly go out of control?
Before she could figure out why, the Heldrake suddenly folded its wings and, like a blue Lightning, pounced on a Chaos Knight mech that was preparing to fire at Lynn from the side!
The Chaos Knight had just aimed the Volcano Cannon cannon at Lynn when the red light from the muzzle reached its limit, ready to unleash a destructive beam of light in the next second.
But its pilot never dreamed that his own flying dragon would suddenly pounce on him.
"Are you crazy?!"
The driver's angry curses had barely left his mouth when the Heldrake slammed into the muzzle of the Volcano Cannon.
Its massive body completely blocked the cannon barrel.
"Boom!!!"
The Volcano Cannon, which had already been fully charged, exploded instantly.
The scorching laser beam flowed back into the mech, detonating the gun barrel.
Immediately afterwards, the Daemon Engine inside the Heldrake's chest cavity was also ignited by the energy from the secondary explosion, resulting in an even more terrifying explosion.
The fireball, a mixture of purple, red, and blue, suddenly expanded, engulfing the entire Chaos Knight and Heldrake.
The STC-enhanced ion shield lasted less than half a second before overloading, followed by a chain reaction of armor melting and ammunition detonation.
The massive shockwave spread out in a ring, sending a swarm of demons flying.
Luna was the first to be affected.
She instinctively activated her Psychic Power shield the instant the explosion occurred, and a rainbow-colored light barrier protected her in the center.
The detonation at such close range was far more powerful than imagined; the Psychic Power shield cracked like glass and shattered in the next second.
"Puff!"
Luna coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her entire body was thrown away by the shockwave like a rag doll.
It crashed heavily into the ruins dozens of meters away, the sound crisp and clear.
Amidst the smoke and dust, Lynn knelt on the ground, one hand supporting himself on the ground, the other pressing tightly against his temple.
The excruciating headache felt like it was splitting his skull in two.
Something cold and unfamiliar was spreading along his nerves, gradually transforming his brain, his blood vessels, his internal organs, and even his soul.
Everything in his vision was spinning, and a buzzing sound filled his ears. The whisper from the Warp seemed to linger, echoing repeatedly in his mind.
The changes brought about by the Grip of Domination were more intense and rapid than he had anticipated.
"Cough, cough cough..."
From the ruins not far away, came Luna's violent coughing.
She crawled out of the rubble in a disheveled state, her wide, decaying robe torn to shreds and her hood nowhere to be seen.
The golden mask cracked open, revealing a bloody, mangled half of the face beneath.
His once neat long hair was now disheveled and covered in dust and bloodstains; he was no longer the arrogant Chaos Champion.
She raised her head, her venomous gaze fixed on Lynn, almost dripping with poison.
" Lynn, what trick have you played this time?!"
Luna's voice was terribly hoarse, filled with barely contained rage.
She still can't understand why her Heldrake suddenly turned against her.
Lynn did not answer.
He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stand up, his fingertips instinctively trying to summon that Domination power once more.
If he can Domination one dragon, can he Domination the rest of the Chaos Knight?
Just hold on a little longer...
But as soon as he concentrated, his headache worsened again, his vision went black, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
no.
His mind simply couldn't withstand the continuous use in a short period of time.
Luna also noticed that Lynn was not in a good mood.
He's forcing himself to stay upright.
That bizarre method must have come at a great cost.
But she dared not rush forward again.
Who knows if this man has any other dirty tricks up his sleeve?
Lynn's cunning was something she had experienced far too many times.
"All seven of you, come at me together!"
Luna gave a stern order to the remaining seven Chaos Knight mechs, her voice filled with barely suppressed anxiety.
She knew that her time was running out.
The Profane Barrier has been breached, and the Imperial Fleet is pouring in, causing the Chaos forces in the Midtown to suffer repeated defeats.
If this drags on any longer, and Atia is also defeated by the Dragon of Frost, she will have no chance left.
Swiftly defeat Lynn, then immediately withdraw!
The seven Chaos Knight roared simultaneously, slowly approaching in a fan shape.
Volcano Cannon, Melta Cannon, Chainsword, Power Fist...
All sorts of weapons simultaneously flashed with dangerous light, sealing off all of Lynn's escape routes.
Lynn gripped the power sword tightly, his breathing growing heavier.
My headache is getting worse, and I'm starting to see double.
Am I really going to fail here today?
At this critical moment, a barrage of artillery fire ripped through the sky like a rain of steel, slamming into the front of the seven Chaos Knight!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Deafening explosions rang out one after another, and the scorching plasma beams overlapped with the explosions, carving a trench several meters deep in front of the knight mech.
The intensity and rate of fire of the artillery were unlike anything that could be produced by just one or two knight mechs; it was more like an entire squad of knights simultaneously unleashing a barrage of ammunition.
Who goes there?!
Luna looked up angrily in the direction from which the artillery fire was coming.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
A giant, bright yellow knight mech stood silently at the end of the ruins.
