- Chapter 444 - Counterattack? ? Dark Night
?
After more than a dozen warrior bugs and the tiger bug found a human baby in the “meteorite crater”, they were instantly confused.
They stood at the edge of the pit, their bodies slightly stiff, and their eyes embedded on both sides revealed extremely obvious confusion.
These bugs could not understand how this small, defenseless human baby could appear in such an environment.
Their thinking was simple and direct, but this seemingly “weak” life made them hesitate for a moment.
!
Hiss——!
Soon, they reacted, gave up their doubts about the baby, and made a hunting howl again, ready to pierce and devour the baby in front of them.
The warrior bugs gathered at the edge of the pit very sensibly, obviously ready to give the baby to the tiger bug alone.
The tiger bug did not hesitate at all.
As the master of this group of bugs, it moved swiftly and decisively, rushing straight into the pit, while raising its left front paw like a steel needle, pointing directly at the baby’s head.
It seemed that the air was filled with the breath of death.
Ta–! !
At the critical moment, an unexpected movement broke the so-called breath of death.
At the critical moment, the baby flashed to the right at an astonishing speed and quickly avoided the sharp claws of the tiger worm.
The claws with sharp blades drew a cold light in the air and pierced into the thick soil, making a dull “ta-ta” sound.
The tiger worm’s attack missed the target, and the claws were deeply embedded in the soil, stirring up a cloud of dust in an instant.
The baby’s movements were so fast and agile that the tiger worm could not hit accurately.
Hiss–!
It retracted its claws in surprise, and the low hissing sound was full of anger and unwillingness.
The warrior worms also stood at the edge of the pit with a little surprise. They didn’t expect that this “fragile” little life would have such a quick reaction.
However, the baby’s actions were not accidental.
The evasion at that moment was not only an instinctive reaction, but also seemed to be a kind of “precognition”, as if some inner power was guiding him.
At this moment, the baby still did not make any sound, nor did he cry or breathe violently. He just lay quietly in the pit, staring at every move of the tiger worm.
In an instant, the giant tiger worm confronted a “tiny” baby.
It was like a life-and-death game, and no one knew who would be the final winner.
! !
Even if the tiger worm had no expression and could not make a complex expression like a human, it was not difficult to see its extreme anger.
A fragile human baby actually dared to avoid its fatal blow?
The most important thing is that it actually became timid and confronted a “little thing”? !
In its cognition, this was simply a great shame.
Then, the tiger worm launched another attack and used its claws to stab the baby.
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
Each attack was extremely fast, almost like a flash of lightning, but each time the tiger worm’s claws slashed through the air, causing gusts of wind and piercing the soil, it never hit the target.
The baby still evaded nimbly, quickly and accurately avoiding all attacks, as if he had exerted infinite flexibility in the tiny space, and each dodge was just right.
The tiger worm’s anger became more intense, and its roar became sharper, but all its attacks were in vain.
At this moment, the baby’s body began to change, as if the critical situation in front of him forced him to burst out with extreme strength.
His figure swelled violently in just half a second, quickly changing from a weak baby to a one- or two-year-old child.
Muscles and bones “filled up” rapidly with the speed of growth, but the rapid occurrence of this process, without sufficient nutrition and calories, also caused the baby’s physique to look extremely fragile.
His limbs were slender, and the bones suddenly emerged, almost making people suspect that this small body would fall apart with just a slight touch.
The tiger bug obviously did not expect this change and was stunned.
This sudden growth made the tiger bug hesitate for a moment. It did not dare to continue attacking rashly, as if there was some kind of threat hidden behind this new form that it could not understand.
? ? ! !
The warrior bugs who witnessed everything, no matter how stupid they were, and their brains could not understand complex logic, they could still understand that the baby in front of them seemed to be
probably
something wrong.
How did that little thing grow so big in such a short moment?
Just as the tiger bug and the warrior bugs were preparing to respond, the child who had rapidly expanded to the size of one or two years old suddenly stood up steadily.
Even though his body still looked thin and weak, as if it could be torn apart at any time by a little force collision, his eyes revealed an unusual calmness and determination.
In an instant, the child stretched out his tender right hand, his white skin wrapped around his tiny skeleton, and he could feel the disproportionate thinness from every inch of his skin, and tightly grasped the tiger bug’s left front paw.
The tiger bugs and warrior bugs couldn’t believe their eyes. This “little thing” that they thought was fragile actually dared to approach such a fatal attack part.
But things happened too fast. Before they could react, a shocking scene occurred-
Ka-ba-!
Hiss-! !
A very crisp sound of bone fracture was heard, followed by the tiger worm’s howl with severe pain, which shocked everything around.
This child actually used incredible brute force to twist off the tiger worm’s left front claw, without giving it any chance to react.
The tiger worm’s hard shell was torn apart by this force, and its claws broke with a sound. The sound of the broken claws seemed to solidify the surrounding air.
Then, the child immediately pulled out the broken front claw from the soil, and then forcibly threw the sharp broken claw at the tiger worm.
Moreover, he pulled the half front claw out of the soil, aimed at the core of the tiger worm’s “open middle door” torso, and threw it hard.
Rou——Puchi——!!
The action was accurate and sharp, and the broken claw was like a sharp arrow that cut through the air. A sharp sound of breaking through the air came, and it directly pierced the tiger worm’s torso and penetrated the thick shell.
Plop! ! !
The huge tiger worm fell to the ground like a mountain.
Moreover, the insects that were enough to threaten the entire forest ecosystem were completely killed by the child in front of them without even a chance to resist.
Green blood gushed out like a fountain, and as the tiger insect fell to the ground, it scattered around, instantly dyeing the surrounding soil green.
? !
This action also frightened the warrior insects around.
Their eyeballs on both sides of their torsos were dull, and their brains could not accept the fact in front of them-the tiger insects were actually killed by a child?
This seemingly fragile and powerless “child” in front of them actually had the power to turn the situation around? !
The shock caused by the death of the tiger insect, coupled with the lack of the guidance of the insect swarm’s will, these more than ten warrior insects immediately turned around and wanted to escape from this rather “evil child”.
Rou~——Puchi————! !
However, at the same time they turned around to escape, the imperial spear burning with golden flames roared from the sky and pierced a warrior insect.
Boom~!! !
As the tip of the Spear of the Empire touched the ground, the golden flames seemed to have “self-awareness” and immediately formed a fire circle surrounding the shallow pit, burning all the warrior bugs directly.
Whoosh~——whoosh——!
Accompanied by the strong airflow, the surrounding dust and leaves flew up, the flames dissipated instantly, and the remnants of the bugs were blown away.
And Sanguinius, flapping his wings, slowly landed from the air and stood on the edge of the pit.
Although his movements were still calm and elegant, he looked solemn at this moment, and his eyes were complicated as he looked at the extremely white-skinned and extremely thin younger brother in front of him.
At that moment, Sanguinius felt unprecedented complexity and heaviness in his heart, and guilt surged in his heart-
If he had known this, he should have arrived here earlier, instead of wasting time discussing a series of political affairs and military arrangements with Johnson, Rico and others.
Now, the younger brother in front of him was obviously overstimulated and forced to accelerate his development, resulting in an extremely unhealthy physical state, and he looked increasingly weak and fragile.
On the other hand, the child in front of him was still looking at Sanguinius expressionlessly, his eyes as calm as water.
He was neither surprised nor panicked.
He was not afraid of Sanguinius’s gaze, because he was not a terrifying enemy, but a kind of familiarity –
It was as if he knew from the beginning that the “giant” in front of him was his brother.
In some deeper instinct, he had already identified Sanguinius’s identity.
And Sanguinius saw that his younger brother behaved so calmly, and compared with the crying and hugging behaviors of other younger brothers, he obviously became a lot more mature in an instant.
This scene made Sanguinius even more painful.
As an older brother, he should give more protection and care at this time, instead of letting his younger brother grope on his own in such an extreme environment.
At this moment, Sanguinius saw that his younger brother took the initiative to approach him, and raised his left hand to point to his open mouth.
? !
Seeing this, Sanguinius immediately realized that his little brother was already suffering from hunger and could no longer endure the pain of an empty stomach.
Then he quickly stepped into the pit and gently picked up the little brother from the mud.
Although the little brother’s weight was almost insignificant and was like a fragile straw that could be easily broken, Sanguinius’s sense of responsibility became heavier.
Then he spread his wings behind him, returned to the sky again, and headed straight for the Phoenix-class support boat anchored above the capital city.
There were still some technicians from the biological department in the support boat.
Sanguinius knew that although the technicians on this ship were not proficient in the needs of the original body, especially how to prepare the original body’s nutritional supplements during infancy, they could at least provide some basic help.
It should be more than enough to allow the little brother to recover his physical strength in a short period of time and solve the problem of hunger for a while.
After his younger brother’s physical condition has stabilized, he will take time to return to New Hope, use the space gate to go to the Imperial Palace in the main universe, and personally hand the younger brother over to his father.
During this period of time, Sanguinius will take on the responsibility of both brother and “father”.
At the same time.
Sui Yang, who is in the Imperial Palace and the exclusive office, has seen his son in his arms “with his own eyes” through Sanguinius’s power armor.
The extremely fair skin, long black hair, and handsome features all indicate that the son who came to the “Starship Fleet” universe is the original body of the “Warhammer 40k” Midnight Lords Legion –
Conrad Curze.
Konrad Curze has many nicknames, serious ones include “Night Hunter”, “Midnight Ghost”, “Primarch of Madness” and so on.
Rather than serious words
They are “Corax’s Pain Edition”, “Extra-Large Edition of the Batman Who Laughs”, “Extra-Large Edition of Impaler”, “Judge Ultimate Edition” and so on.
Before Sui Yang was forced to travel to the main universe using a “heavy truck collision” by the Emperor, he actually “appreciated” Conrad Curze.
After all, it is full of darkness, tragedy and rebellious elements.
Compared with other Primarchs, Curze’s character appears extreme and paranoid, with strong pessimism, believing that the universe is full of corruption and darkness, and that the future of mankind is destined to fall into the abyss.
And Coze also has the ability to predict and “see” the future.
But this ability did not bring hope to Curze, but made him more painful. Because of this, Curze often felt that he could not escape the shackles of fate, let alone find any “light”.
As a child, Curze, like other Primarchs, was “swept away” by the evil god of the warp and crashed to Nostramo, a mining planet.
However, the cultivation chamber where Cozzi was located directly smashed through the surface of the earth, sending him deep into the earth’s surface.
After he climbed to the surface with great effort and hunger, he also encountered and ate the first living creature, the Nostramo.
The original body can also read the past memories of the “victim” by chewing and eating the brain.
Due to the strict control and exploitation of the upper class in Nostramo, the general public has become accustomed to eating “the same kind” like Coze by any means necessary to survive.
Because people here have long lost their conscience.
At the same time, it also allowed Koz to see an extremely selfish and sinful world, and determined that “human nature is inherently evil.”
Moreover, when Curze was a child, he did not meet an adoptive father or mother like Guilliman, nor was he raised by a group of workers like Corax. As a result, no one could guide him, and he had to explore everything by himself. .
When he was a child, he could only eat animals and garbage. If that was not possible, he would continue to eat Nostramo people who he considered “unpardonable crimes.”
The more people he ate, the more he became convinced of the despicable and cruel nature of human beings.
When Curze “grew up”, he decided it was time for him to take matters into his own hands and rectify the corruption of Nostramo.
At the beginning, Coze had no desire for a power struggle. He only wanted to “punish criminals and uphold justice” and kill those superior nobles and gang leaders who he felt were guilty.
It’s just that these methods have no effect at all.
However, it was this that made Sui Yang believe that if someone could guide Conrad Coates correctly and give him even a trace of warmth and “light” during his childhood, it might bring about different results.
And now, Coze is his son, and he is Coze’s father, so everything can change.
