Chapter 138 Corruption
Fragments of the shells fell along the body of the demon, and those fragments were mostly rusty steel and gray and deteriorated gunpowder.
As a member of the Mechanicus, Ivan would never allow his masterpiece to fire such defective shells.
If a high-speed camera had captured all of this, it would have discovered that after the cannonball fired out of the demon's bell, it quickly began to decay. The outer layer of the cannonball began to oxidize and rust, the steel ring loosened and broke, and the gunpowder broke and leaked. By the time the cannonball hit the demon's body, it had turned into a ball of loose rust.
The Great Demon laughed triumphantly. He was a subordinate of the God of Plague and Decay. When the power of the God of Decay reached its peak, all things in the world could not escape the fate of decay, and corroding this small cannonball made by a mortal would be even less of a problem.
Although his true self could not come to this world as he wished, the psychic who opened the portal still sent his weapon, the giant chime, to the real universe at the last moment before the "door" closed.
This chime contained only a part of his great power, but it was more than enough to deal with these mortals.
Seeing his conventional weapons ineffective, Ivan immediately unleashed an energy attack, but the beam he fired also rapidly faded after the bell rang. Heat is the ultimate form of energy. Originally, the energy of the beam was concentrated in a straight line, but now it began to radiate as heat. Ultimately, the beam Ivan fired shone on the demon, leaving only a severely scattered circle of light. The laser's original energy had long since dissipated into heat, causing the surrounding air temperature to rise several degrees.
The Plague Legion cheered. Most of their members were not smart enough to understand the significance of the two fights between Ivan and the Great Demon, but these monsters without intelligence felt the Great Demon's joy and complacency, so they rejoiced for the Great Demon's joy.
"Boom boom boom——"
Continuous explosions sounded. It was a cluster of small missiles fired by Ivan, but this time his target was no longer the big demon, but the big demon's plague offspring.
Suddenly, hundreds of plague children died in the bombing, including two Nurgle beasts.
Thousands of plague zombies were also eliminated, but in the eyes of the Great Demon, these mortal infected people who did not pass the trial of the Father and retained their original will could not be considered as members of their big family, but only low-level cannon fodder.
Witnessing the harm done to hundreds of his children, the Great Demon wailed. Although he could sense that the bombing had only destroyed their bodies, it was still an unforgivable act. After their bodies were destroyed and their souls were banished back to the Warp, the demons needed a period of time to regenerate. However, this period of rebirth was cold and lonely. No father would want to see their children endure such torture.
The enraged demon abandoned the bleak human in front of him and rushed towards the machine that was still pouring fire on his child. His body was as huge as a mountain, and every movement was like a landslide.
The main gun of the self-propelled forge locked onto the big demon and fired continuously, but the chimes in the big demon's hand kept ringing. Any attack would quickly decay within a ten-meter range around him, and would turn into painless debris when it hit him.
Facing a burst of artillery fire that could penetrate several tanks, the Great Demon rushed to the self-propelled forge. At this moment, he could easily shake the chimes to make this strange steel machine completely rust and turn into a pile of scrap, but he did not do so. The Great Demon did not want to let this guy who dared to hurt his child in front of him go so easily.
The Great Demon raised the chimes in his hand and smashed them hard against the machine. With a sound that made people's skulls tremble, the left front end of the self-propelled forging factory was directly flattened to half its original height. Then the Great Demon stepped one foot on the flattened base and hugged the barrel of the main gun with his bare hands. The barrel had a diameter of nearly one foot and a wall thickness of three centimeters.
The main gun barrel was overheated due to the previous continuous firing, and the surface temperature was over a thousand degrees. The big demon's skin was pressed against the barrel and made a sizzling sound. After being caught by the big demon, the main gun tried to swing left and right to break free, but the big demon didn't care about the pain and impact. He exerted force with both hands, and finally pulled off the main gun turret weighing dozens of tons on this self-propelled forging factory.
Among the four great daemons, those of Khorne and Nurgle are the most inclined to close combat, disdaining elaborate magic and feats, preferring the thrill of destroying their foes at close range. However, there are distinct differences between these two types of daemons. Khorne's daemons are like a spiky, ferocious axe, eager to cleave and tear through their foes to drink their blood; while Nurgle's daemons are more like a sledgehammer, relentlessly crushing their foes with brute force.
After removing the main gun turret, the big devil shouted as he lifted the pile of steel parts that were constantly emitting sparks above his head and threw them out with force.
Dozens of tons of steel were thrown nearly a hundred meters by the demon, and like a battering ram, they smashed through several buildings before landing on the ground.
The main gun was destroyed, but other weapons on the forge were still firing at the demon. The flamethrower spewed out flames strong enough to burn through steel at the demon, and small missiles bombarded him one after another, but this level of attack was of no use to the demon.
Suddenly, the demon cried out in pain, and then he jumped off the self-propelled forge like a dog splashed with boiling water. After landing, he scratched and shook his whole body, and the fat on his body trembled constantly.
Because just now the small machine gun of the self-propelled forge also fired bullets at him, but the small machine gun did not fire regular bullets, but silver bullets.
The big demon took a long time to grab the silver bullets that were stuck in his body along with the broken flesh. Among the large pieces of broken flesh, several silver bullets had completely lost their luster and were covered with a layer of black oxide.
The machine guns fired continuously. Faced with the silver bullets, which held the properties of sacred artifacts, the Great Demon refused to resist head-on. He raised the chime bells in defense. The silver bullets puffed against them, like a ball of butter dropped into a hot frying pan. Upon contact with the chime's surface, the silver bullets quickly melted and changed color, eventually turning into puddles of black mud that dripped onto the ground. Slight silver scars also appeared on the copper-brown surface of the chime bells.
Howard, who had been watching the battle from a distance, looked at Mavis and said, "We have to find a way to destroy the big clock in His hand."
After watching for so long, Howard also understood that the physical fitness of this big demon might be that of an ultimate enhanced Nurgle beast, but the chime in his hand was a real artifact. As long as the chime was in his hand, ordinary attacks could not do anything to him at all.
But if the chimes were destroyed, conventional firepower could destroy His physical body and expel Him.
