For Zhang Ge, in theory, after throwing the Greater Daemon's corpse on the ground, the battle should have started. After all, this was equivalent to using the enemy commander's corpse to provoke them. Even Chaos Space Marines couldn't tolerate this.
But in reality, the other party didn't seem to want to follow the theory... Even the Vengeful Spirit beneath his feet didn't act according to normal logic.
The moment Zhang Ge drew his sword, the lighting brightness of the entire bridge, and even the entire Vengeful Spirit, was raised several points in an instant. The light radiating from the various lamps shone everywhere, and was refracted by the gorgeous golden decorations that covered every part of this powerful warship's interior, jointly creating brilliant illumination that overflowed everywhere.
The moment he saw this scene, Zhang Ge realized, "Damn, I've been tricked."
But there was no time for him to react. The next anomaly appeared immediately.
Countless huge gemstones began to shatter.
Those gemstones were scarlet red throughout, with black vertical pupils running through the middle. These gemstones were originally quite common on the Vengeful Spirit and were called "Eyes of Horus." However, most of them disappeared with the increase in corruption later.
Now, in reappearing today, they had not regained their complete form for long before they began to shatter on their own again. Among them, the most conspicuous one was the Eye of Horus directly above the bridge throne. The Emperor and Horus completed the decisive battle that changed the fate of the Empire under the "gaze" of this gemstone.
In the silence of the two sides facing each other, only the crisp sound of the gemstones shattering echoed in the slightly empty bridge.
Breaking, reassembling, being dyed white, returning to their original positions.
Finally, as the last fragment was filled into the white gemstone, the hymn rang from the Vox-casters scattered throughout the bridge.
The names of the Emperor and Zhang Ge were praised in unison, and the Warp daemons lurking in the dark were burned and driven out by the sound waves. The gathering point of all sounds, in the bridge, the Greater Daemon's corpse was suddenly ignited like a torch.
The golden flames annihilated the daemon's profane body that had severed all life, and the bright yellow light that penetrated through it first cast its warm color aimlessly around, but then quickly focused and gathered around Zhang Ge.
Just as Zhang Ge thought that these flames were going to give him a blessing more terrifying than a hundred thousand Chaos Space Marines, they did not bring any strangeness to Zhang Ge. They only gradually solidified and eventually turned into a stream of light, and merged into the Ascalon sword.
"Okay, that's enough. Continuing would be impolite."
Zhang Ge, who had anticipated what was going to happen next, politely wanted to sheath the drawn long sword, but his palm was only taken downwards by the Ascalon that suddenly thrust down in the next moment.
The moment the tip of the sword entered the metal ground, the two became one.
Every piece of Adamantium on the Vengeful Spirit was cheering to welcome Zhang Ge's arrival. At this moment, he could perceive all of these emotions very clearly, because at this moment he was the Vengeful Spirit itself.
What does it feel like to become a ship-person? That is difficult to describe.
The first thing you can perceive is the boundless power you have.
A barrage of light spears or a barrage of Macro Cannons is enough to destroy an entire small fleet. The huge body and Void Shields can stand still as a mountain in the most dangerous fire lines.
The Gloriana-class Battleship, the pinnacle of Imperial space creations during the Great Crusade era. And the Vengeful Spirit did not stop there. As the flagship of Warmaster Horus, she was also the most powerful of her class.
In the sudden powerful force, Zhang Ge even had the illusion that he could easily shatter everything with the main gun.
It's no wonder that the ship's Machine Spirits are mostly more difficult to serve than ground vehicles. Being under such great power for a long time, it is indeed easy to develop an arrogant and disdainful personality.
After a helpless and simple exchange with the Vengeful Spirit's will, Zhang Ge returned his consciousness to his body.
Opening his eyes, what came into his view was the Luna Wolves kneeling in a large area.
This was the first time Space Marines had made this gesture to Zhang Ge. In general, such an action would not necessarily be performed even when meeting other gene Primarchs, and being forced to kneel was regarded as the ultimate insult.
But at this moment, for the Luna Wolves who witnessed, or even found themselves in, a series of miracles, the Zhang Ge in front of them was no longer a concrete person, but something that had been abstracted out, like an idol symbolizing a special meaning.
Like the Black Sword to the Emperor's Champion, Sanguinius's corpse to the Blood Angels, and the Anti-Gravity Motorcycle to the White Scars.
In solemnity, under the guidance of Ascalon, the bewildered Zhang Ge came to the Luna Wolves with the two people around him.
Following that force, the sword suddenly pierced into the chest of the nearest Space Marine.
Without any resistance, the tip of the sword directly penetrated from the other end, carrying blood, and the golden flames that had rekindled.
In just an instant, nearly a hundred pillars of fire ignited at the same time, burning on every inch of skin of these sinners, and the light and heat annihilated their power-filled muscles little by little, melting the armor that carried honor.
Until even the paint was completely charred black, the flames finally stopped.
The originally neat and tidy Power Armor of various types had become irregular like solidified volcanic lava in various places. Only from the overall shape could one vaguely figure out the original appearance of the armor, and the white paint had turned into an unfathomable dark black, exuding a palpitating depth.
Inside the armor, those originally angel-like and incomparably strong bodies were now only left with a layer of skin attached to the skeleton after everything had been burned. In the endless wars of the future, their every movement would be accompanied by endless pain. From wielding a sword to kill the enemy to the simplest vocal communication, the souls of the dead would remind them of the responsibilities they had to bear every moment.
When Zhang Ge pulled back Ascalon, they drew out the long sword they had originally melted from their weapons in a unified action. The murderous sword sounds began to echo in the bridge during this action.
On the clean sword body that formed a significant contrast with the dark armor, lines of tiny black texts were wrapped around it, but it was not the usual runes or glory, but a series of crimes and names.
These texts, which were inlaid with their burned ashes, surrounded the sword body layer by layer like chains, shining with the souls of the cowards who tried to escape their responsibilities by committing suicide as fuel. Although they were small, they were still clearly discernible in every place.
Facing the long swords in front of them, facing Zhang Ge and the other two, the redeemers completed their oath again in hoarse voices. And this time, they would bet everything on the oath.
