Chapter 211 Boundary Breaker
At the bottom of the Great Rift Valley, at the base of the space elevator.
An Astartes wearing dark green power armor covered with cracks was lying half beside a boulder at the entrance of the mine, panting and clenching the plasma pistol in his hand.
He was waiting for the gun to cool down. Plasma weapons are powerful and have excellent performance. The only drawback is that continuous output for a long time will cause the gun body to overheat, causing an explosion.
The feet of this Astartes were littered with dead Astra Militarum mortal soldiers. Deep in the blazing mines, you could occasionally see Space Marines like him wearing dark green power armor with sword-wing symbols on their shoulders.
They boarded the same landing module and came to the Great Rift Valley to annihilate the Dark Angels of Chaos, but now he was the only battle brother left with them.
The last Dark Angel on Hive B-211, Gazza.
He has run out of fuel and is about to die.
His injuries were so serious that even though the medical system built into the power armor had injected him with a variety of stimulants and hormone drugs, it could not keep his overdrafted body running and his consciousness still awake.
As he lay dying, Geza remembered what happened when he first arrived in the Kerenna sector.
Two years ago, the Dark Angels received an astrological message from the Star of Hell, asking for help. While all the company commanders and adjutants in the chapter were speculating about which company would be sent to rescue the threatened imperial world, the current chapter leader of the Dark Angels and the 6-wing Grand Master announced the results of their joint deliberations:
——The result was that the Dark Angels came out in force and drove the Monolith Monastery directly into the Kerenna Sector.
Geza is not a member of the inner circle. He has served for less than 400 years and is a proper recruit in the Dark Angels. However, due to some special personal experiences, he has also heard about some secrets within the group.
For example, fallen angels.
"The only one who can make the Chapter Leader and the Grand Masters reach an agreement to move the boulder is probably the Fallen Angels..." Geza thought before setting off.
But he seemed to have made a mistake.
When my thoughts returned to the present, the plasma pistol had cooled down a bit and should be able to sustain one or two more rapid fires.
Geza took a deep breath, used his tenacious will to forcibly support his broken body, and carefully stretched out a small part of his body to look out of the mine.
"What are you looking for?"
"For the Emperor!"
A gentle voice sounded from the mine behind him. Without any thought, pure muscle memory made Geza instantly raise the plasma pistol in his hand. He roared and pulled the trigger, and the hot plasma was fired.
But his angry blows failed to do any harm to the "Baptizer."
Even the void shield was not turned on, and the dark matter deflection shield was also turned off. The hot plasma beam shot out, but failed to leave any trace on the silver-gray zero-element armor, just like using a water gun to saturate the tiles.
"Conventional weapons cannot break through the defense of zero-element armor. At least you have to use melt weapons that can disturb sub-atomic, or higher-end gravity manipulation and dimensional weapons... The decomposition force field of the power sword should also be able to do it?" Russell A voice came from the Baptist, saying with some seriousness: "Why don't you let go of the trigger? Your plasma pistol is going to overheat."
Before he finished speaking, Geza decisively abandoned his pistol and stabbed Russell's chest with the power sword in his right hand.
There was a crisp sound, but nothing happened.
"Your power sword has been damaged a long time ago, and the decomposition field has been paralyzed. Now what you hold in your hand is just a simple steel bar... Haven't you noticed this? It seems that you guys have gone through a tough battle."
Russell shook his head, and the Baptist's eyes dazzled the indigo psychic energy, and he forcibly ordered Geza's body to put down the weapon and slumped to the ground: "Don't be nervous, I am a human being, I just wear different clothes from you."
As he spoke, the Baptist's breastplate briefly disintegrated, showing Russell's face to Geza before quickly closing and locking it again - there was strong industrial waste gas deposited at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley, and a mortal who breathed directly would only die on the spot. The slave workers of the Adeptus Mechanicus need to be implanted with iron lungs to mine here.
He is a good-looking young man, but unfortunately he is a bit of a girl. This was Geza's first impression after seeing Russell's real face.
Russell's bones and skin are both beautiful, but they do not conform to the general aesthetics of the human empire.
War is raging in the galaxy, and humans are generally martial. Girls like handsome and powerful male individuals like the Blood Angels or the Emperor's Children, or strong and wild men like the Catachan Jungle Fighters, but Russell does neither. Related.
His appearance is more than handsome but not brave enough. He looks like a gentle scum who plays for power. Any battle nun is more manly than Russell.
Geza tried to break free from the heavy spiritual pressure that imprisoned his limbs. After several failures, he understood the power hidden under this delicate skin.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Geza asked weakly.
"I don't have a real name, but you can call me: Star Bomber." Russell answered his question generously. After realizing that Geza's hostility towards him had subsided, he also dismissed his captivity. The other party’s spiritual energy.
Russell bent down to pick up the power sword that Geza had dropped on the ground, played with it casually, and said: "I originally planned to go to the Monolith Monastery to talk to your Dark Angels chapter leader about something, but when I passed by this galaxy, I saw Broken Angel. The dimensional anchor of the Boundaries, so I came down to take a look at the situation.”
"As far as I know, the extra-dimensional portal of the Boundary Breaker should be near Baal, and the Krenna sector has reached the gate of the Eye of Terror. The expansion of the high-dimensional invasion is too fast..." Russell smiled bitterly and shook his head, not knowing whether to say that the Boundary Breaker is too powerful or the Human Empire is too slow.
"Boundary Breaker? Dimension Anchor?" Gaza's thoughts turned rapidly, and he quickly connected Russell's words with the terrifying enemy he had encountered before: "Dimension Anchor, does it refer to the illusory existence that looks like a space jellyfish in the center of the Sulfur Fluorescent Galaxy?"
"Boundary Breaker... So that kind of monster is called Boundary Breaker? They came here from Baal?"
For a moment, Gaza's mind was shocked.
"Oh? It seems that you have fought with the ground forces of the Boundary Breaker, and you can still survive... Interesting." Russell immediately became interested, and then the Baptist held Gaza's head with one hand.
"I use psychic energy to connect with your consciousness. Whatever I ask, you answer. Do you understand?"
"Understand..." Gaza responded in a low voice, his voice was weak.
"First, tell me why the Dark Angels came here..."
After several rounds of questions and answers, Russell basically figured out the situation here.
Two years ago, the Dark Angels, who had come out in full force, received a call for help from Hive B-211 on their way to rescue the planet of the mortals. Chaos demons had invaded the planet and started a massacre in the depths of the Great Rift.
Due to the strategic importance of the sulfur crystals, the Dark Angels extended a helping hand to B-211. The entire company of Geza, together with the temporarily assembled naval fleet and mortal auxiliary forces, came to B-211 to fight against the chaos demons in the Great Rift.
The Monolith Monastery continued to go to the planet of the mortals.
The mission of Geza's team was to defend the base of the No. 2 space elevator. Once the space elevator was destroyed, the supply chain of sulfur crystals would be at risk of being broken, which would cause huge losses to the war in the war zone around the Eye of Terror.
The warriors of the Dark Angels were brave and good at fighting. They built a defense line around the base of the space elevator and fought cruelly with the cultists and chaos demons.
The battle lasted for nearly a year, and the situation was stalemate. Geza's company was waiting for the support of the boulder, and the cultists were also rushing to slaughter mortals to summon more demons.
At this time, something strange happened.
"We lost contact with the fleet in orbit. There was no sign. All the ships seemed to disappear out of thin air. There was no sound and no response to our signals..."
Geza's tone was a little frightened: "Then, the demons began to flee. We didn't launch any attacks, but the demons were fleeing, like sheep being stared at by wolves..."
"Whether it was the brutal bloodletting vampire or the corrupted plague bearer, they were screaming and fleeing. The whispers in the subspace were silent, replaced by deep fear. The think tank senior told me that it was the natural enemy of the demon..."
"Then I saw it, I saw the existence of 'that'."
Geza closed his eyes painfully, unwilling to continue to recall. But through the connection of consciousness, Russell saw what he saw.
The originally immortal demons were driven, chased, hunted, and devoured like lost lambs... A strange existence without a fixed shape appeared out of thin air in the Great Rift Valley. Their bodies were blurry and illusory, and they were out of tune with everything around them.
Their existence itself was a conflict, just like using a photo editing software to forcibly photoshop a bunch of things with completely inconsistent styles here. They did not belong to this universe, but they could devour everything in this universe.
They were called——Boundary Breakers.
