Warhammer 40: From the League of Humans to Warhammer

Page 103

The Thunderhawk gunboat swooped down, and when it was still ten meters above the ground, Leon leaped out of the hatch. His deep blue Zero Element power armor gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

"Angron!" The lion's roar thundered, "Your opponent is here!"

The Primarch whirled around, his blood-red eyes narrowing: "Here we go again, Leon? Bringing a new toy to court death?"

Leon did not reply; the Lion Sword was already drawn.

The top-tier power armor created by Zero Element Armor granted him unprecedented agility, allowing him to rush to Angron almost instantly.

"Your speed..." Angron parried in surprise, only to find that Leon's strength was also much greater than before.

"The surprises are yet to come, traitor," Leon said coldly, his lion sword striking repeatedly like lightning.

The Zero-Element Armor not only enhanced Leon's strength and speed but also provided protection far exceeding anything he had ever seen before. When Angron's chainsaw axe struck the lion's shoulder armor, it left not a single mark on the Zero-Element alloy.

Only a thin neutron-level membrane, almost invisible to everyone, peeled off, and this membrane can be almost completely ignored.

"Coward, are you afraid of me? Wearing such a turtle shell, you're pathetic."

When Angron saw that his attacks had not caused any damage to his opponent, he couldn't help but curse loudly.

He just attacked with all his might, but it had no effect on the other person's power armor. Isn't this just pure bullying?

Leon remained unmoved within the Zero Element Armor, and Angron's roar only intensified the fighting spirit in his golden eyes.

"This is not cowardice, Angron." The lion's voice came through the armor, echoing with a cold, metallic quality.

"Just like when you ambushed me before, it's time for you to experience what crushing defense really means!"

The Lion Sword was swung out again, this time with a speed that Angron could barely catch.

The Zero Armor granted Leon extraordinary agility, allowing his swordsmanship to reach unprecedented heights. His sword flashed like lightning, leaving several deep, bone-revealing wounds on the Demon Primarch.

"The Blood God has blessed me!" Angron roared furiously, his wounds healing at a visible speed, yet new wounds kept appearing. "I am immortal!"

“There is no true immortality.” Leon simply ignored the heavy blow from the chainsaw axe, which had no effect on the Zero Element armor.

Zero-elemental armor remained completely still.

"Your attack is pathetic. Put some effort into it, you traitor. Are you just tickling me?"

While attacking the lion king, he also continued to provoke his opponent with words, making him even more irrational.

Leon's strategy worked, and the battle intensified under his verbal provocation.

Angron's offensive grew increasingly ferocious, but each heavy blow failed to penetrate the Zero Element Armor.

Leon, on the other hand, was like a precise killing machine, aiming every sword strike at Angron's vitals.

Although hitting a vital point won't kill Angron outright, the damage it inflicts is real, and Angron's attacks gradually weaken from their initial frenzied fury.

After his frantic efforts yielded no results, Angron made a move that surprised everyone.

The Primarch suddenly abandoned all defenses, spread its arms, and the Butcher's Nail emitted a blinding red light.

Terrifying warp energy began to converge, and the entire battlefield became heavy and distorted under its influence.

Chapter 156 You've Grown Old, My Brother

A large amount of energy gathered in Angron's body, and even Leon, who was wearing Zero Element Power Armor, felt the pressure.

It was an indescribable pressure; a large amount of chaotic energy was constantly entering Angron's body, strengthening him and making his aura even more powerful and intense.

The Chaos Space Marines, who appeared here alongside Angron, began to revel in the overwhelming aura emanating from him.

"Blood God! Blood God! Blood God!" The Devourers roared in a frenzy, their eyes bloodshot with bloodlust.

Angron's process of drawing energy from the warp resembled a dark ritual, driving all Chaos followers to madness.

The Grey Knights immediately intensified their exorcism ritual, and the silver psionic barrier attempted to block the influx of warp energy, but the power absorbed by Angron was too immense, and the barrier began to crack.

During this process, even Leon tried to stop Angron himself, but to no avail. When his weapon struck Angron, it was directly intercepted by the blood-red energy.

This scene naturally allowed Angron to see that even while he was strengthening himself, he didn't forget to mock his brother.

"Leon! You can't do anything to me now!"

"Just wait, once I'm healed I'll kill you with my own hands, my brother."

The Grey Knight Grand Instructor shouted, "All Grey Knights, concentrate your psionic energy on the energy core!"

More than twenty Grey Knights simultaneously performed an exorcism ritual, their silver psionic energy piercing like a sword towards Angron's energy core in his chest.

However, the chaotic energy was too powerful, and the psionic attacks were like stones sinking into the sea.

"It's useless!" Angron laughed maniacally, his body completely enveloped in crimson energy. "The Blood God has blessed me! You... now you can do nothing but wait to die!"

Angron was so arrogant that the Grey Knights had no way to deal with him, and the same was true for Leon. Everyone could only watch helplessly as Angron completed his enhancement.

Khorne's crimson energy surrounded Angron, making it even more powerful.

At the same time, the weapon in his hand became even more terrifying, with a large amount of energy from Khorne entering his chainsaw axe.

This axe has now been enhanced once again, making it a top-tier Chaos artifact.

Angron, weapon in hand, stepped out of the area amplified by the warp energy and then swung his axe fiercely towards Leon.

Faced with such an attack, Leon raised his weapon to block, but his block did not completely stop Angron's attack, and the chain axe still struck the Zero Element Armor.

The power armor that had been relentlessly attacked by Angron was now damaged.

A scratch appeared on the Zero Element Armor. Although it still couldn't completely cut through the power armor, it had already caused damage.

"Leon, your turtle shell can no longer protect you. Now let's have a fair fight!" Angron roared, raising his weapon and slashing it down fiercely in Leon's direction.

When Angron was blessed by Khorne, its combat power was completely different from before, and even Leon, who had been enhanced by power armor, found it difficult to cope.

The moment the two clashed again, a massive shockwave was generated, pushing the surrounding Grey Knights and Imperial Guards several steps back.

Angron naturally wouldn't just attack Leon alone. As Leon quickly retreated, Angron raised his axe again and swung it down at a guard beside him.

Although the Imperial Guards reacted and raised their weapons to resist, they were ultimately split in two by Angron.

Even the Grey Knight next to him was affected.

A Grey Knight was also killed by it.

Leon witnessed the sacrifice of the Imperial Guards and Grey Knights, a chilling rage igniting in his golden eyes. "Angron! Your opponent is me!"

The Lion King roared and swung his weapon again, but the sword missed its mark once more.

"Too slow, brother!" Angron laughed wildly, turning his head to dodge and sweeping his axe horizontally with a backhand.

"You're too slow, and you're too weak, so you can't stop me from slaughtering them!"

While mocking Leon, Angron once again swung his weapon and killed a Grey Knight.

“Look at you, my brother, you continue to serve that hypocritical skeleton. What reward have you received? No, you have nothing.”

"Look at me, look at me! Your strength is so insignificant before me, almost utterly useless!"

Faced with Angron's mockery, the anger in Leon's golden eyes subsided into a chilling killing intent.

There's no way around it; his strength is still inferior to Angron's, even with the Zero Element Armor, because he's old...

Angron launched another attack on the surrounding Grey Knights and Imperial Guards with almost no resistance, and even when the Imperial Guards and Grey Knights joined forces, they were no match for Angron.

In just a few minutes of fighting, four Royal Guards and six Grey Knights had fallen to Angron.

Now he even has a Grey Knight by the neck, preparing to humiliate him in front of Leon and execute the Grey Knight.

"My brother, abandon your cowardly thoughts and embrace chaos. The gods are merciful, if only you are willing."

Under the influence of Angron's Butcher's Sting, he should be extremely insane, but now that things have come to this, he's even in the mood to persuade his brother to join the Chaos.

"Impossible, you traitor!" Leon ignored his brother and instead brandished his weapon again.

But just like before, his attack was easily blocked by Angron.

"My brother, you are no match for me, give up."

Angron is practically unstoppable right now.

“I have tried to persuade you, but you are still unwilling to turn to the gods. Then there is no need for you to continue living.”

Angron offered a rare act of persuasion, but under the influence of Butcher's Sting, he remained tyrannical.

Therefore, after failing to persuade him, Angron raised his weapon.

Since your brother won't try to persuade you, then just kill him.

Angron raised his axe high, ready to kill Leon with a single blow.

Just as he was about to swing his chainsaw down and decapitate the lion, a bolt of psionic lightning struck from the sky, blasting his chainsaw axe into pieces.

The immense impact sent Angron flying, tumbling and rolling until he was covered in mud.

"Who exactly stepped forward?!"

Angron roared, demanding that the person who attacked him come forward.

Chapter 157 Let me see how you managed to be so different from the nature of your own warp.

"Are you calling me?"

Behind Angron, Zhou Qing hovered in the blue sky, holding a psionic spear made of psionic lightning and preparing to throw it.

"Who gave you the audacity to kill my citizens here?"

Zhou Qing was somewhat angry, and his powerful spiritual energy directly overwhelmed the entire area.

Anglong was standing, but after Zhou Qing uttered the last word, he knelt down on the ground.

"Ah! What did you do to me?!"

"Let me go! You bastard, let me go!"

Angron roared and tried to stand up, but how could Zhou Qing's psionic restraints be so easily broken? The powerful psionic energy still firmly pressed him to the ground.

"Did I tell you to stand up? You piece of trash!"

As the word "trash" was uttered, Zhou Qing's spiritual pressure intensified.

Gron was kneeling on the ground peacefully, but now the floorboards are worn through from his knees, and he is sinking inch by inch into the soil.
