Chapter 146: War Begins (8) Titan! Titan!
In addition to the machine soul, the Titan also retains the memory of all the lives that have existed here since ancient times.
And most of them belong to the memories of psychics who were used as psychic batteries and cruelly combined with Titans by surgery.
Pain, like the pain of the tide.
Every drop is as heavy as a mountain, enough to destroy a strong soul.
They gather into streams and rivers, and finally rush towards Calvin's soul like a tide.
The indescribable soul pressure forced him to accept these memories, like a sticky and heavy liquid, making him seem to return to the time when he was not yet extraordinary, almost drowning him.
The pain of the flesh being cut alive during surgery;
The pain of the soul being squeezed and deformed when being forcibly bound to the Titan machine soul;
The pain of the soul being extracted and broken together with the psychic energy when the Titan was summoned to participate in the war;
And finally, in the time when sanity still exists, the pain of regret for the misfortune, unwillingness, and unwillingness of being born a psychic.
The black despair is like poison. Together with the purple-red pain, it has been brewed for a long time in the blood and tears of countless victims, and has become a cup of mellow and strong poison wine.
And drinking this cup of wine is an indispensable ritual for everyone who wants to control the Titan.
Without experiencing the pain of these people, how can their souls that once existed and merged with the machine soul recognize your existence;
Without experiencing the residual echoes of these real pains and maintaining sanity, how can you be worthy of ruling this god on earth built on countless sacrifices!
The crown of victory never belongs to those who only know how to get and don't want to give, and these fragments in the Titan machine soul also think so.
If they can't even pass these basic tests, how can they be willing for you to gain glory by driving them?
This is probably the reason why every generation of drivers must be an untouchable.
And they must be men, and they must be born with a cold mind and cannot have any mercy.
Because hidden under the surface of the soulless, they are actually just one of the ordinary people.
Even if there is a little empathy here, these mortals who can only barely protect themselves under the black wave will be swallowed up and destroyed in an instant.
Not being able to sympathize, not daring to sympathize, is worse than not having sympathy from the beginning.
Fortunately, Calvin does not belong to this group. Endless black tides hit his way to the depths of Titan from both sides. And he chose to accept all the malice and tests that came to him. The black water, which is highly poisonous to any soul, was like a drop in the ocean on his body. After being absorbed by all who came, no trace could be seen anymore...
You know, these are the emotions and thoughts left after the soul of an Alpha-level psyker was completely shattered!
Throughout the history of the human empire, how many psykers have truly reached the Alpha level?
Every Alpha-level psyker who has ever existed is the most precious wealth of the human empire, and is also the most favored sacrifice by the gods of the warp.
Even in the collection of any demon lord in the warp, this is a rare boutique. In comparison, Calvin's gains on the previous battlefield were ten times as much as here.
After the long whale sucked up the black tide here, Calvin was delighted to feel that the progress of his soul's completion had advanced by a tiny ten-thousandth.
Although it was still too small compared to the total progress, this was already the highest record of Calvin's single absorption of emotions.
The black tide dried up in the incredulous eyes of the illusions of these souls. And Calvin, who continued to walk deeper, could already see the Titan's own machine soul standing at the end of the road.
The scene switched again, and Calvin, who woke up again after contacting the machine soul, became a state of being held in the Titan's giant hand.
The emotions of the machine soul were expressed in their unique binary language, and Calvin had no chance to learn, but fortunately the fluctuations of the most basic essence allowed him to understand the other party's intentions:
"Are you satisfied with my ability to clean impurities?"
"Are you willing to sign a contract with me?"
"But it must still be based on you?"
"What if I don't agree?" Calvin asked.
"Then I will destroy you!" This was the answer of the machine soul.
Calvin squinted his eyes and looked at the black hand that was holding his body tightly. Each of the steel-cast fingers was thicker than the barrel of a heavy artillery.
"I think..." Calvin tried to shake his body to pull it out of his palm:
"We can talk from another angle!"
As soon as the voice fell, Calvin's soul in the spiritual world began to stretch out the palm of the machine soul. Driven by the soul, his body became larger and larger, and finally became the original appearance in his spiritual world.
The light of divinity shone from him, and the volume of billions of souls inside made his body grow with breathing, exceeding the height of the Titan, exceeding the height of the arch of the webway, and finally exceeding the height of the surrounding valley.
"So, what now?" Calvin's huge face looked down from a high place. He stretched out his hand to return his previous treatment, grabbed the Titan machine soul, held it in his hand and asked.
"………………You have the final say." The confused machine soul said so.
"It's a deal! Huh!"
Calvin changed himself back to his original size and said with a guilty conscience.
Fortunately, the head of this machine spirit is not too strong, otherwise with just one blow, it would be able to see through the illusion that Calvin is using the mortal souls in his body as his essence...
boom!
After communicating and calming down with the machine soul, Calvin finally drove the heavy body of the psychic titan to take the first step.
The ground seemed to have been hit by a heavy siege hammer, and the gravel stirred up by the shock beat repeatedly with the fluctuations.
The soil could not withstand the pressure per unit area. The originally solid soil seemed to have been plowed by heavy artillery, easily sinking the Titan's soles into it.
The poor working conditions in the driver's seat made Calvin stop with a frown:
The power supply cables of the psychic crystal chamber have been completely destroyed, and the path of the cogitator's servo in the instrument and button operation has also been damaged.
Fortunately, Calvin's own soul is special, so he allowed the cogitator at the core of Titan to use the waste of the psychic shunt coil for the untouchables under the driver's seat. While using the conductive psychic energy in reverse, he used his own brain as a source of energy. Outrageous transformation of information operation terminals is possible.
The operational information was displayed on his pupils, and the originally complex operations were simplified to the extreme through his will.
This should have been exciting news, but as the equipment status list displayed by the self-check program appeared, he was really worried about how far this Titan could go.
"Self-test completed, status list is being transmitted..."
"The structural strength of the entire machine is 58%, the list is as follows..."
"Strengthen the skeleton status by 70%..."
"Ceramic armor status 65%... (right shoulder damaged, cab damaged)"
"Void Shield 55%... (only three layers left, originally six layers)"
"The upper limit of the output power of the plasma reaction furnace is 95%..."
"Driving Structure (Spirit Cross) 55%..."
"Meditator servo 45% + 60%... (Including Calvin's own brain-computer function.)"
A truly terrible state, Calvin commented inwardly.
It can only be said that it can still be used, but if it is used forcefully in this state, if it is severely damaged, it will almost lose the possibility of repair.
"The weapon array status is 61%, the list is as follows..."
"The left arm shadow power claw/cannon output power is 96%..."
"Right arm Saturnian laser cutter (sword) 17%..."
"The two Adex-type near-explosion-proof artillery pieces on my waist are in complete condition, but the remaining ammunition is insufficient..."
"The two Adex type double close-range laser cannons on the back are in complete condition..."
"The two Apocalypse-class missile launchers overhead are in complete condition, with 0 ammunition remaining."
In general, neither the close-defense weapons nor the Apocalypse missiles can be used, and the remaining glaives can be used for an unknown number of times. The only thing he can count on is the psychic destructive weapon in his left hand.
The Titan's body was driven again, and the fully opened foot cushioning device not only minimized the pressure per unit area, but also used low-frequency shock waves to signal the arrival of this giant to the enemy...
The enemy and ourselves on the front line have completely fought together. The soldiers who are red-eyed do not need orders. They only rely on instinct and bravery to fight off the waves of demons.
But in front of the big demon and its elite knights, it was just a helpless struggle.
After receiving the notice from Calvin, the Revenant Redeemer in orbit made a clear announcement on all channels asking the soldiers on the central front to take shelter on both sides. But in front of these people who have forgotten what retreat is, the effect is minimal.
The last interdicting shots from the macro cannon shells have been fired, but how effective they can be can only be left to the ground.
Lord Khorne smiled triumphantly. The great sword in his hand was already shining more and more with the blood he drank. The magic lines on the sword spread like life with the rhythm of breathing, thirsting for more blood and souls.
No one could stop it, even the charging chariot was split into two under its furious slashes.
Invincible, after breaking through the last position in front of it, it is only within reach of the goal of this trip.
But just when it was about to organize its army and harvest all the mortals who had begun to be divided on the battlefield, its extraordinary hearing made it keenly aware of the unusual movements in the direction of the valley.
Boom... boom... boom... boom...
Heavy low-frequency tremors came from inside the valley, and the gravel on both sides of the pass fell in fine pieces. In Lord Khorne's surprised and confused eyes, a black and red figure, as tall as a tower, walked out of the pass!
"Salix's **! Why is there such a thing here!"
After the demon lord cursed loudly, he asked the subordinates around him in disbelief.
But no one or no demon answered its question, because for the demons, this apocalyptic mythological scene that only existed in the battle between gods also shocked them.
"It's so exciting!"
At this time, Calvin was fully driving his psychic energy to supply the operation of the Titan. Driving such a big thing for a long time was a heavy burden on Calvin.
Different from the shocking glimpse on the "Little Throne" on Terra, a huge amount of psychic energy has been continuously extracted for a long time, and he alone can replace the work of at least three alpha psykers. Even with his majestic spirit, Energy inventory also feels a huge burden.
Fortunately, after 30 years of being a castle master, he has systematically learned how to use his psychic powers. Under the guidance of theoretical guidance, his psychic powers are not as squandered as before, and his output is more precise and clearer. His state awareness greatly improved the efficiency of his psychic energy use.
The state of mind is deepening, and the ocean of ether is responding to his arrival.
The spirit is rising, and the accumulation of the faithful responds to his call again. The majestic psychic energy around him rises and falls with his breathing like a tide (corresponding to the Imperial Psychic Energy Classification - δ);
Once again, the practitioner's control allows the psychic energy to change shape with his mind (corresponding to the classification - β);
But this is not enough, going deeper, the wisdom and will of the philosopher's realm makes his eyes light up again with white and gold light, the blue laurel leaf ring on his head, and the crown made of steel in the soul begin to echo each other (corresponding to the classification - α);
But this is not enough! He can go deeper! The glow of the flame of order lights up from the center of the crown! For the first time, the divine soul took up the authority in His hand to show His majesty!
Since the Emperor and Malcador, humans have never had a third person set foot in the field. After 900 years, they have once again welcomed a new walker (corresponding to the classification - α+)!
The coalition of the gods stopped killing at this moment, and the mortal soldiers who felt something also turned their heads and looked at the giant spirit that was still visible several kilometers away.
The arrogant demons looked at the black and red giant with solemn faces. The Titan and the existence driving it were equally worthy of their attention.
Psychic Titan? Uncontaminated?
The two concepts crossed the minds of Khorne and Tzeentch's demons at the same time:
The destruction brought by the former meant that the battle had been decided so far, and even they could not compete with such an existence without preparation;
The latter was an ancient and almost forgotten concept. Every unique existence in the long river of time meant the seeds of gods and a new eternal holy war.
They no longer cared about the outcome of the current war. How to return to the kingdom of the Father alive as soon as possible and tell the Father everything here was the most important thing!
But there was no chance! Calvin, who knew the importance of his existence, how could he give them a chance to return to the warp?
He used all his strength to drive his power to the machine soul, and the latter's huge soul also cooperated with his will:
The first step! "Sacred Stand! (Original Psychic Titan Skill - Fear Shroud)"
The black and red Titan raised his left leg and stepped heavily on the ground! The amplified silver psychic waves are almost visible to the naked eye! While sweeping the entire battlefield and identifying the will of all chaotic life, the psychic field here is completely fixed, not giving any demons the opportunity to use communication and transmission!
Step 2! "Order Storm! (Original Psychic Titan Skill - Disgust Storm)"
The platinum psychic lightning and the stirred storm converged on the Titan's head, eventually forming a crown interwoven with lightning and storm!
The branches it projected made the great demons and their servants who tried to approach the gods and were blown over like toys!
Step 3! "Hand of Destruction!"
But unlike the dark jets shot by the Titans in the past, Calvin's psychic properties determined that this attack was not to tear the opponent into pieces and then throw it into the subspace.
Under his drive, when the ten-meter-thick platinum jet swept across half the battlefield to the great demons, they knew clearly from their instinctive trembling:
If they were hit this time, they would really die!
Two in one, please vote.
