Chapter 486 Noise
Chapter 486 Noise
"Even now, some remaining eyes may still be watching us." Hai Wei'an said, "But don't worry, the facts are established, they can't change them."
"So you can?" Howard asked.
"Some of them can, but this one is not one of them."
Hai Wei'an said, took Howard's hand and led him deeper.
Things around him resumed movement, and even though time was greatly slowed down, their speed was still far beyond the limits of a mortal like Howard.
Countless bullets and swords slashed towards Howard and Hevian, but these attacks were not aimed at the two of them. They had already locked onto their respective enemies, but Howard and Hevian happened to appear in the path of the attack.
Bullets or slashes passed through the bodies of the two and exited from behind them, but Howard felt nothing at all.
As he analyzed, now that he had been brought to a higher narrative level by Hevian, most of the beings in the lower narrative levels could no longer exert influence on them.
But when they reached a crowded cabin, Hai Weiyan stopped.
"Is there something here you want to show me?" Howard asked puzzled.
Hai Wei'an shook her head, but her eyes looked in one direction.
Howard followed the direction of Hevian's gaze, and then he saw a cloud of fog.
This cloud of fog suddenly appeared in this space filled with demons and Chaos traitors, but it was out of place with the former two.
It directly covered a small area of space, but the demons and Chaos traitors coming and going were completely unaware of the existence of the fog. Howard saw some demons moving to the area covered by the fog, but they were not affected at all and were still chatting or fighting.
This fog is a bit like... a bit like a stain on the screen. How can the actors performing the plot on the screen notice the stain on the screen?
"What is this?" Howard asked.
"When this incident happened, I wasn't the only one watching." Hai Wei'an stared at the mist and said, "They hid themselves, so there was noise in the record. The missing part of the record in front of me is the anchor point of one of them."
"But don't worry, we're also using shielding technology, so they won't be able to see our true faces." Hai Wei'an added, "However, if the distance is too close, the shielding method still has the risk of failure. This shielding technology is two-way. We can see them, and they can see us. I'm not ready to get involved in such trouble at the moment, so it's better not to interfere with it. However..."
However, Hai Weiyan did not finish her words, and she did not lead Howard to the next place. It seemed that she had not finished explaining the things here.
"boom!"
After standing still for a few seconds, the wall in front of Howard, which was covered with flesh and blood, suddenly broke open from the other side. An indescribable mass of something crashed in like a cannonball and landed on the ground. In an instant, all the Chaos Demons and Imperial traitors around were affected by the shock wave. The slightly stronger ones were blown away, and the weaker soldiers were blown to pieces on the spot.
At the same time as this mass of unknown substance was thrown in, a woman's voice was heard from the other side. Her voice was majestic and solemn, like the bell ringing during a church mass. The whole space trembled because of her words, and the flesh and blood growths on the wall shattered and spurted out foul-smelling pus.
The female voice was chanting some kind of spell quickly. The spell was composed of Gothic, High Gothic, variant Latin, and some indistinguishable lost words. With Howard's knowledge, he could only barely hear the last part.
"The universe is ablaze, the light of the world, burning away all filth, and it is accomplished!"
As the spell fell, a strong light appeared from the void, as if a supernova exploded right in front of him. The light was so strong that even if Howard closed his eyes, he still felt it was dazzling and unbearable. In the end, he had to cover his eyes with his hands to relieve the pain.
Compared to the woman who chanted the spell, Howard and Hevian are now on a higher narrative level, but even so, the light that has been attenuated through multiple layers almost blinded Howard's eyes. From this, one can imagine what it felt like to face the chaotic forces of this psychic spell in person on the Spirit of Vengeance.
After a moment, the light went out and Howard slowly opened his eyes again. What he saw again was a completely different scene. Both the Chaos traitors and the disgusting buildings affected by Chaos spells had disappeared, and everything around him was collapsing and melting.
Even with the power of Chaos, the spell cast by the unknown woman nearly burned through a section of the Vengeful Spirit, briefly driving the power of the Warp away from the area, and thus halting the endless regeneration of Chaos creatures.
But then a hissing sound was heard from all directions, and the blasphemous flesh and blood growths from those unpurified areas spread here again. Even though these proliferating blood vessels and rotten flesh were immediately burned to ashes by the residual heat, they did not feel any pain. They grew tirelessly and endlessly.
No matter how powerful the spell, it could only cleanse the filth temporarily, and it was powerless to stop the Chaos taint that had spread hopelessly throughout the entire hull.
"Kacha!"
At this time, there was another noise from the other side. Howard looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the source of the sound was a huge charred cocoon, which was the thing that was thrown in just now. It seemed that it had withstood the spell and was not completely killed.
"Tap-tap-tap-"
At the same time, slow and leisurely footsteps were heard from the other side, and the source of the footsteps was obviously the person who released the spell.
According to Howard's stereotype, these psychic guys are usually weird. They usually don't like to wear proper clothes and just wrap themselves in rags... like Joshua or Tyrannosaurus. Some people who are obsessed with psychics will even tattoo runes and spells all over their bodies.
But this time, the first to step out of the smoke and heat was a pair of black, pointed leather boots, the silver chains hanging from them clattering as they walked. The boots' shafts wrapped all the way around the visitor's thighs, while the hem of the leather trench coat he wore nearly reached the ground. The coat's exterior was a sleek black, while the lining was a silky red mesh. The coat's waist was fastened with a belt, but the collar couldn't be fastened due to the wearer's physical condition, leaving only a generous glimpse of the white shirt underneath. A red silk scarf was tucked beneath the collar.
Finally, she placed a wide-brimmed cocked hat on her head, with a silver tree emblem on one side, similar to the one Christina had shown her, but different in that the seven branches were all traced with gold thread.
Howard also noticed the weapon in the woman's hand...it was hard not to notice. In her left hand was a brass double-barreled hunting rifle with a wooden handle. The silver barrel was etched with ash-colored, flowing lines of fire. The wooden handle was inlaid with gems, and the rest was engraved with sacred words and spells. Regardless of its power, the gun was a work of art. Yet, she dragged such a precious weapon with a careless attitude, leaving a shallow scratch on the semi-melted ground.
The weapon in her right hand was even more exaggerated. It was a Morning Star Hammer that was half a person's height. This heavy weapon was carried on her shoulder, and white smoke continued to rise.
Common sense says that someone who can wield two giant weapons at the same time should be tall and strong, but this woman herself does not look "strong" at all. However, she is indeed very tall. Including the high heels of her boots, her height is probably two meters, but her weight is probably less than one-third of the Morning Star Hammer she is carrying, and from the outside, she does not seem to have undergone any mechanical modification.
The Spirit of Vengeance at this point in time recorded by Hevian is considered one of the most difficult dungeons even in human history. The Lord of Humanity personally went to the battlefield, but the result was only a miserable victory.
At this moment, any human still alive and independent on the Vengeful Spirit, even if only as cannon fodder, would have to be at least a well-known, legendary Space Marine or a member of the Custodes. There were no women among the Space Marines, and the Custodes and Sisters of Silence wouldn't dress like this. So, excluding these factors, and combining the woman's previous incantations and weaponry, Howard easily determined her strength.
This is a powerful psychic with good melee ability, at least on the same level as the imperial guard who just wanted to chop him down.
