Chapter 68 The Battle Begins
After a month of continuous digging day and night, the gray-brown mountain that could suppress psionic energy in all directions was completely leveled.
In the end, only a small protruding area remained of the entire mountain that suppressed psychic energy, where the demon's cave was located.
Two Eldar Titans, each twenty meters tall, stand on either side of the cave. Their smooth lines and intricate carvings exude Eldar elegance and make them appear exceptionally majestic.
The Thousand Sons Legion, consisting of nearly ten thousand warriors, surrounded the Demon Cave, their formation arranged in a star-studded array of nodes using the Mandala formation.
Magnus, clad in a long golden robe, stood at the center of the formation, ready for battle.
Li Wei, on the other hand, boarded the cockpit of a war machine with a heavy, metallic feel.
He shifted his position, finding a more comfortable spot, and looked down through the tempered glass window of the cockpit at the Thousand Sons who had become tiny on the ground. He was waiting for his Primarch, Magnus, to give him instructions.
After waiting for a while, I still didn't receive any instructions, and my thoughts drifted away.
He examined the war machine that Perturabo called "Colossus," which was the first batch of finished products made using the technical blueprints he had given Perturabo. Perturabo named it "Colossus," and its combat power was comparable to the Marauder-level God Engine Titan.
This behemoth was originally supposed to arrive along with 200 Terminator power armors, but only one "Colossus" was ultimately delivered.
Li Wei was so angry he wanted to curse, but after seeing Peturabo's handwritten letter, he learned that due to the limited rare materials required for the "Colossus", they could only build one for practical testing first.
Chiko's original plan was to engage in battle with multiple "Colossi" machines, and at the same time test the actual combat power of this new war machine. Unfortunately, there was only one.
That can only be used to test my own research results, which is the psychic magic I created by deeply cultivating the fire psionic energy of the Fire Phoenix School and combining it with some wizarding knowledge.
That is to activate large war machines, using one's own psionic flames to activate the machine and make it an extension of one's own body.
In fact, in his past life memories, the Fire Phoenix School did have this spiritual energy secret technique, but after Li Wei transmigrated, the inheritance of the Thousand Sons had already changed.
No one in the Fire Phoenix School had ever successfully performed it, so Li Wei had no choice but to spend several years researching and mastering it on his own.
"Alright, Li Wei, let's begin. I'll back you up."
Magnus's voice came through the communicator clearly.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Li Wei took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and suddenly a burst of subspace purple flames rose from his body. The flames grew increasingly intense and overflowed outwards, then spread to the other five empty driver's seats, and finally covered the entire "Colossus".
The once cold and lifeless "colossus" suddenly awoke under the purple flames, its joints emitting a dull metallic rumble.
The Colossus held a massive explosive cannon in its left hand and a gleaming chainsaw axe in its right. The shrill sound of it tearing through the air was particularly piercing amidst the purple subspace flames.
Having merged with the colossus, Li Wei suddenly felt his entire body filled with power, as if he possessed the power to destroy the world.
He lowered the massive, angular, industrially rugged head of the "Colossus" slightly, looked at the crimson figure on the ground that could only be seen as a small dot, and nodded gently.
Li Wei lifted his heavy, mountain-like feet, each step causing the ground to rumble, and walked straight toward the two Eldar Titans.
When Li Wei was about a hundred meters away from the Demon Cave, the two Titans, which looked like abandoned sculptures, suddenly awoke, their runes suddenly lit up, and their scarlet eyes snapped open.
Om-!
They twisted their stiff joints, like giant beasts that had just awakened from a thousand-year slumber, about to turn their cannons and attack Li Wei, who had awakened them.
The next second, Li Wei launched the first attack. The huge explosive cannon in his left hand roared out, wrapped in purple warp flames, and accurately launched a surprise attack on the two Eldar Titans corrupted by chaos.
Boom!
Two warp-space shields, glowing with a dark blue light, suddenly deployed, blocking Li Wei's first wave of attacks.
As Levi, piloting the colossus, looked at the rising void shield, he felt a sense of helplessness.
Li Wei found the warp shield in the Warhammer universe quite troublesome; if it were in the past, he would have had to forcefully break it with a psionic fireball.
But now, looking at the buzzing chainsaw axe in his hand, Li Wei grinned, wanting to try to tear through the enemy's warp shield with physical force—how wonderful that would be.
With a whoosh!
A deep purple energy barrier suddenly unfolded, enveloping Li Wei's enormous "colossus" body.
He also activated the Colossus's warp shield. He wasn't stupid. Although he looked down on such defenses and even despised them, it would be foolish to charge in without taking any precautions.
Li Wei, wielding a chainsaw axe wreathed in purple warp flames, took a sudden step forward. He intended to close in and strike while the two Eldar Titans were still in their weakened state, to finish them off.
scoff!
The chainsaw axe slammed into the Eldar Titan's thin warp shield, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.
Before Li Wei could strike the Titan on his right a few times, he realized that the Titan on his left, which he hadn't paid much attention to, had come to life completely, and judging from its poised and ready-to-attack posture, it was about to launch a sneak attack on him.
"Heh!" Li Wei suddenly realized that these two Eldar Titans had really been corrupted by Chaos, and had actually learned to play dirty tricks.
But Li Wei felt he had warmed up enough, so he suddenly increased the distance between himself and them, unleashing a barrage of fire from his left-hand explosive cannon and a whooshing sound from his right-hand scythe axe, launching a fierce and relentless attack.
Despite the combined attack from the two Eldar Titans, Li Wei remained unfazed. Empowered by the purple flames enveloping his body, he moved like an elegant swordsman dancing on the battlefield, gradually eroding the warp chaos energy within the Titans.
Although these two Titans are no longer controlled, they are still able to attack normally and with considerable accuracy, driven by the primal intelligence bestowed upon them by Chaos.
However, under Li Wei's ghostly attacks, they could only attack haphazardly like headless flies.
Boom!
The Eldar Titan, initially chosen by Li Wei as his primary target, had its Void Shield shatter like glass, and its head was then severed by a chainsaw axe, slamming heavily to the ground.
About half an hour later, having fully verified all the basic functions of this "colossus", Li Wei lost interest in continuing to play around and cleaved the last Eldar Titan in two with a single axe blow.
The moment the chainsaw axe shattered the Titan's core, the last Titan corrupted by chaos died.
A delicate yet sharp screech suddenly rang out.
"Who ruined my beautiful toy? I'm going to turn it into the most exquisite living sculpture so I can play with it for eternity!"
"Hmm?" Li Wei, who had just jumped out of the Colossus's cockpit, frowned upon hearing this typical Slaanesh demon's words.
