612, Death Watch: Death of Time (Part 3)

[Sizzle, sizzle——]

[Accompanied by the low roar that the pair of propulsion devices behind the power armor continuously burst out.

[Your tall body is flying rapidly forward in the dawn sky where the light is gradually brightening. ]

[At this moment, a pale red star that is slowly rising from the horizon of the Holy Land world also sprinkles the scorching sunlight completely on your power armor, and constantly projects a lot of pale golden reflected light into the city streets below. ]

[Soon after, you successfully attracted the attention of a large number of Hrud people with your slightly ostentatious way of moving and the overall shape of the power armor. ]

[These long-armed aliens that seem to have no necks and have long and narrow upper limbs in a ring structure that basically hang down to the position of the feet have drilled out of the surface of the Holy Land city that has been dug into a sieve. They are used to traveling at night and try to hide in the shadows of buildings that cannot be directly illuminated by light, and begin to launch long-range attacks on your flight path. ]

[In fact, the ancient Hrud people are not the kind of primitive alien race that survives in this cruel universe ignorantly based on racial talents. 】

【On the contrary, after entering adulthood, almost every one of them is a very experienced scavenger, who can use all the garbage on hand to piece together weapons and equipment like a hodgepodge. 】

【And the Hruds, who attach great importance to ancestral beliefs and family concepts, are also rigorous and serious about things like archival preservation, almost like a pilgrimage. 】

【Perhaps there is another possibility, that is, the cosmic history they have recorded is much more detailed than other alien races or even the human empire. 】

【There were also rumors that many small-scale Hrud migratory groups actually relied on hiding in the gaps of the decks of many imperial ships to complete long-distance nomadic activities, and those unlucky crew members who were unfortunate enough to encounter the Hruds either turned into aging ashes on the spot, or became a pitiful existence like slaves and pets...】

【Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh——】

【At this moment, you quickly scanned the lively scene below through the helmet eyepiece that kept switching between observation modes.

[You manipulated the tilt angle of the entire power armor without hesitation, and nimbly dodged the sharp physical warheads containing terrifying "entropy energy". ]

[Although you have great confidence in the physical defense ability of vibranium and the stability of its microscopic structure, the psychic power of "entropy energy" that involves time really makes you feel unsure. ]

[Almost at the same time, the Astartes team led by Captain Slaer, a veteran of the Son of Medusa's Terminator, and the mortal warriors appeared silently at the edge of the city street. ]

[While flying back and forth in the air to avoid the long-range attacks of the Hrud, you quickly caught the sneaky figures of everyone. ]

[You then stretched out a vibranium palm downwards, indicating that everyone should be ready to move at any time. ]

[You suddenly pulled out an ancient power sword contributed by the Sons of Medusa from the waist of the Spark Glory Armor, and fell heavily towards the Hrud team that was roaring like a golden meteorite from the sky! ]

[Boom boom——]

[Accompanied by a roar that was enough to attract most of the Hrud. ]

[The two propulsion devices at the back of the power armor quickly extended outward, and in the blink of an eye they turned into a pair of huge metal wings, and then fell heavily on a group of Hruds who pounced on them! ]

[At the same time, the two magnetic boots under your feet quickly retreated, and you kept moving and tried your best to avoid the "entropy energy" force field from the Hrud! ]

[Dong Dong Dong! ]

[You are like a pale golden butterfly, using the pair of flexible metal wings with a large attack range to eliminate the Hruds who kept surrounding you.

[Soon after, you also swung your skull helmet violently as you dodged. ]

[Through the eyepiece, you accidentally saw the Astartes passing through the ruins of buildings and quietly passing behind the Hruds. ]

[However, just when you thought this peaceful situation could last for a while. ]

[Zizizizi——]

[Along with the large number of Hruds who could not launch an effective attack on you, a series of harsh sounds like the rubbing of shells gradually came out from their tall bodies. ]

[In addition to the ‘entropy’ force fields that were increasing with the number of Hruds, a ‘visual fog’ force field that could distort the vision of the eyepiece gradually appeared on the surface of the annular bodies of a large number of Hruds! ]

[Then, before you could drive the power armor back a few steps, ]

[A Hrud leader who was obviously stronger and taller slowly crawled out of a dark cave nearby. 】

【And at the front end of the opponent's long arms that are as flexible as human spines, two 'entropy' melee weapons that are like gray-white lightsabers suddenly appear within the range of your eyepiece! 】

【"Captain Slaer, speed up your march! Run!"】

【You took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly to the Astartes who were still quietly advancing without looking back. 】

[The Astartes and mortal warriors who heard the roar quickly revealed their striking figures, running through the dilapidated streets illuminated by the sun. ]

[At this moment, your eyes were firmly fixed on the Hrud leader who began to run forward, and your palm subconsciously clenched the ancient power sword that had not been used once! ]

[Swish, swish, swish——]

[In an instant, a pair of huge metal wings that quickly extended forward cut through the dusty and dirty air one after another. ]

[Rows of extremely sharp edges, like sawtooth-like vibranium feathers, suddenly rushed towards the long arms of the Hrud leader, and two waving ‘entropy’ lightsabers fiercely attacked! ]

[However, the invisible ‘entropy’ melee weapon easily passed through the terrifying cutting of the vibranium feathers, and as the Hrud leader continued to get closer, it fell heavily in front of your chest armor! ]

[The next second, just as you were about to use the Shadow Step to escape from the spot, you were suddenly completely enveloped by the ‘entropy energy’ force field that suddenly expanded on the opponent’s body! ]

[“Ah——”]

[Instantly, you felt that strands of inexplicable precious time were being continuously drawn out of your tall body! ]

[At this moment, even the Spark Glory Power Armor that was originally brand new and shining seemed to have experienced an extremely long battle time, and the pale golden armor luster gradually dimmed! ]

[In a flash, you seemed to have increased your age by a hundred years out of thin air, but you did not choose to retreat and dodge immediately. ]

[“Die——”]

[Instead, you let out a low roar from under the skull helmet. ]

[You drove the power armor with all your strength without retreating a step, and rushed towards the Hrud leader who was close at hand! ]

[At the same time, both the huge metal wings behind the power armor and the power sword you held tightly in your palm slashed at the opponent's ugly ring-shaped body without any hesitation! ]

[Swish, swish, swish——]

[In an instant, accompanied by the sound of the decomposition field on the verge of collapse, it slashed through the tough flesh. ]

[A Hrud head with a broken end quickly covered with smelly mucus suddenly soared into the sky! ]

[And the pair of 'entropy' lightsabers that were about to fall on the breastplate were also cut off by the power sword you quickly lifted up, and then fell to the ground! ]

[With the sudden death of the alien leader, the 'entropy' force field covering you disappeared almost in the blink of an eye! ]

["Huff——\
