Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Boom!

A huge sound sounded again, but this time it was the sound of Calvin smashing into the ground with his armor.

The weight of nearly 100,000 tons was concentrated on an area the size of the original body's feet. Whether it was the stone ground with low metal content or the original body's own bones, they were all tested like never before.

But the situation of the latter is much better. After all, the overall structure of the power armor determines that the bones only play a small role in supporting it.

But what the former encountered was absolutely unbearable, so after jumping up from the lava, the original body only drew a short curve in the air, and then re-inserted itself into the ground.

......... This was a bit embarrassing. Calvin jumped out of the ground again with a dusty face. He realized the crux of the problem in mid-air and began to pour his spiritual energy crazily into his "original heart".

With him as the center, the icy air froze everything around him in a short time, and it was also rapidly extending outward.

Boom! There was another sound of a giant falling to the ground.

However, the number of liquid metals that rely on psychic energy to be converted into weightless parts is increasing, and the strength of the ground is also freezing and rising sharply. After Calvin's jump this time, the depth of his impact on the ground was significantly improved...

The mechanical priests on the orbit kept observing the ground throughout the entire process, and also felt something strange after Calvin's second jump.

"Abnormal data?" Solan was the first to discover the problem, but Mayne misunderstood what he meant.

"Are the gravity parameters abnormal?"

"No, it's an abnormal quality!" Solan looked at the rather embarrassed original body in the picture, stretched out his hand to make the holographic projection display Calvin's real-time data, and at the same time that the dazzling red quality parameters at the bottom of all the numbers appeared, he slowly gave his conclusion:

"I don't know why, but he's just... like he's carrying a titan on his back."

The mechanical priests looked at each other, and no one could give a reasonable explanation for Calvin's anomaly.

Before they could react, Calvin on the ground had already adjusted himself within a few breaths:

After jumping and falling in this way for 10 times, leaving a series of deep pits on the ground of Serind Crater, Calvin finally controlled the weight he carried to a range that the ground could accept.

This is of course not to say that Calvin completed the psychic transformation of all liquid metals in such a short period of time, but that he finally reacted after several attempts and used psychic energy to expand the contact area between his legs and the ground. .

A thin and transparent membrane extended from the soles of Calvin's feet to the surroundings, and was shattered instantly after the next impact, and then rebuilt in the next second, and was reinforced by more subtle psychic energy circuits, giving it greater physical power. strength.

This can be said to be some kind of deformation of the energy shield, and it will also be the way Calvin walks for quite some time in the future.

Because even if all the psychic liquid metal is converted, once it enters a combat state, the first thing Calvin has to face is to solve the problem of battlefield endurance...

"That's it for now..." Mayne took the lead in turning his attention away from the holographic projection, and the senior priests no longer dwelled on the abnormalities in the original body.

The foundry director sat silently on the throne, and the priests in the quiet bridge were waiting eagerly. It was not until the original body in the holographic projection completely left the scope of the crater that Mayne nodded slightly to signal to everyone to wait on the ground. The mechanical army is approaching Selind.

"Your Majesty, what happens next..."

Fardin, who is in charge of the Order of the Return of Origin, and Craso of the Titan Society looked at each other, and then took a step forward to ask in the eyes of the Foundry Director.

"As agreed." Mayne nodded to confirm.

"Yes!" The two priests who controlled the core force of the forging world bowed and retreated, and the signal transmission device behind them had already sent the mobilization order to the ground.

In the roaring forges and noisy factories, countless mechanical legions on patrol and on standby received orders;

Buried deep underground but as huge as the abode of the gods, dozens of giants made of steel opened their eyes...

"Ring the bell once! Push the lever and activate the piston and pump!"

Countless priests wearing Heper's emblem stood in front of the mechanical phalanx, praying fervently to the chariots and cannons.

"Ring the bell twice! Press the button, start the engine, ignite the turbine, breathe life into it!"

Hundreds of high-ranking priests personally handed over the core keys to the pilots, and then stood at the feet of the Titan to guide the sacred ritual of awakening the machine soul and restarting the plasma engine.

"Ring the bell three times! Sing in unison to praise the God of all opportunities!"

Amid countless praises, the sky-shielding transport fleet and Titan Ark descended from the sky, and most of the forge world's armed forces began to assemble into orbit under Mayne's order.

"I have to go."

A few hours later, at the capital of Hepper Forge World, Calvin, who arrived belatedly because he refused to take any intra-atmospheric aviation vehicle, spoke to the senior officials of Heper Forge World beside the transport boat temporarily dispatched by the Relentless Jihad.

At this time, in the direction of Serind, the receiving work of the North Wind God has been completed.

Although they were extremely curious about what the Primarch had gained underground, after achieving their most ideal goals, the senior officials of the Forge World still showed sufficient respect and restraint to the Primarch based on the friendship (force) between the two parties.

"The God of All Opportunities bless you, the support we promised is ready, just waiting for your order." Mayne said to Calvin while looking at the warships gathered in orbit.

"The Empire will remember your loyalty," Calvin replied meaningfully, and then said goodbye to him and boarded the deck of the transport ship with the Honor Guard.

The huge transport ship trembled slightly the moment the original body boarded the ship, and then flew out of the atmosphere under the roar of the plasma engine.

"Do you want to wait for them together?" Tabos's voice sounded in the cabin, obviously doubting the speed of the Mechanicum's fleet.

"Let's go first and let them arrive at the battlefield as planned." Calvin replied, then cut off the communication.

The deck of the Relentless Jihad was already visible, and the prompts for boarding preparations came from the transport boat's cab. They briefly talked with the members of the Honor Guard about the recent situation and confirmed their encounter in Heper. Calvin led the honor guard down the open gate of the transport boat and returned directly to his residence on the top floor of the battleship.

The battleship's engine started to start, and the huge body slowly left the berth of the star port and headed towards the gravitational blank area in the galaxy - the Manzeville Point.

Calvin in the battleship rejected the visit of the Imperial Guards and others, and walked to the teleportation array room of the battleship alone.

He needs a quiet space to check the changes in his power armor, and it is best that this space is strong enough and can provide energy for psychic amplification.

One update.
