From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 432: Counterattack? ? Dark Night

?

After more than a dozen warrior insects and the tiger insect discovered a human baby in the "crater", they fell into a brief confusion.

They stood at the edge of the pit, their bodies slightly stiff, and their eyeballs embedded on both sides revealed extremely obvious confusion.

The group of insects could not understand how this tiny, defenseless human baby could appear in such an environment.

Their thinking is simple and direct, but this seemingly "weak" life makes them hesitate for a moment.

!

hiss--!

Soon, they reacted, gave up their doubts about the baby, and once again made hunting howls, preparing to pierce and devour the baby in front of them.

The warrior bugs all very sensibly gathered around the edge of the pit, apparently preparing to give the baby to the tiger bug alone.

But the tiger bug did not hesitate at all.

As the leader of this group of insects, it moved swiftly and decisively, rushing straight into the pit while raising its left front paw, which was like a steel needle, pointing directly at the baby's head.

It seemed that the breath of death began to permeate the air.

despair--!!

At the critical moment, an unexpected movement abruptly broke the so-called breath of death.

At the critical moment, the baby flashed to the right at an astonishing speed and quickly avoided the sharp claws of the tiger insect.

The sharp claws drew a cold light in the air and pierced into the thick soil fiercely, making a dull "thump" sound.

However, the tiger bug's attack missed its target, and its claws embedded deeply into the soil, instantly stirring up a cloud of dust.

The baby's movements were so fast and agile that the tiger bug couldn't hit him accurately.

hiss--!

It withdrew its claws in surprise, and its low hiss was full of anger and unwillingness.

The warrior insects also stood at the edge of the pit with a little surprise. They never expected that this "fragile" little life would have such a quick reaction.

However, the baby's movements are not accidental.

The evasion at that moment was not only an instinctive reaction, but also seemed to be a kind of "precognition", as if some inner power was guiding him.

At this moment, the baby still did not make any sound, nor did he cry or breathe heavily. He just lay quietly in the pit, staring at every move of the tiger bug.

In an instant, the giant tiger insect was confronting an "incredibly tiny" baby.

It’s like a life-and-death game, and no one knows who will be the final winner.

! !

Even though the tiger bug has no expression and cannot make complex facial expressions like humans, it is not difficult to see its extreme anger.

How dare a fragile human baby avoid its fatal blow?

The most important thing is, it actually got timid and confronted a "gadget"? !

In its perception, this is a great humiliation.

Immediately, the tiger bug launched another attack and used its claws to stab the baby.

Ta-ta-ta!

Each strike was extremely fast, almost lightning fast, but each time the tiger insect's claws cut through the air, creating gusts of wind and piercing into the soil, it never touched the target.

The baby still dodged deftly, avoiding all attacks quickly and accurately, as if he had unlimited flexibility in the tiny space, and every dodge was just right.

The tiger bug's anger became more intense, and its roars became sharper, but all its attacks failed.

At this moment, the baby's body began to change, as if the critical situation before him forced him to burst out with extreme strength.

His body suddenly expanded in just half a second, and he quickly changed from a weak baby to a one or two year old child.

Muscles and bones "fill up" rapidly as they grow, but this rapid process, without sufficient nutrition and calories, also causes the baby's physique to look extremely fragile.

His limbs were so slender and his bones were so prominent that one would almost suspect that this small body would fall apart with the slightest touch.

The tiger bug obviously did not expect this change and was stunned.

This sudden growth caused the tiger bug to hesitate for a moment. It did not dare to continue attacking rashly, as if there was some threat hidden behind this new form that it could not understand.

? ? ! !

The warrior bugs who witnessed everything, no matter how stupid they were, and no matter how difficult it was for their brains to understand complex logic, they could still understand the baby in front of them.

probably

Something isn't quite right.

How could such a small thing become so big in such a short moment?

Just as the tiger bugs and warrior bugs were preparing to respond, the toddler, who had rapidly expanded to the size of one or two years old, suddenly stood up steadily.

Even though his body still looked thin and weak, as if it could be torn into pieces at any time by the slightest collision of force, his eyes revealed an unusual calmness and determination.

In an instant, the child stretched out his tender right hand. His white skin wrapped around his tiny frame, and his disproportionate thinness could be felt from every inch of his skin. He tightly grasped the tiger insect's left front paw.

The tiger bugs and warrior bugs couldn't believe their eyes. This "little thing" that they thought was fragile actually dared to approach such a deadly attack part.

But things happened too quickly. Before they could react, a shocking scene occurred.

Snap——!

hiss--! !

An extremely crisp sound of bone fracture was heard, followed by the tiger insect's howl of severe pain, shocking everything around.

The young child used his incredible brute strength to twist the tiger insect's left front paw off without giving it any chance to react.

The tiger insect's hard shell was torn apart by this force, and its claws broke with a sound. The shattering sound seemed to solidify the surrounding air.

Then, the child immediately pulled out the broken front claw from the mud, and forcibly threw the sharp broken claw towards the tiger insect.

Moreover, he pulled this half of his front paw out of the soil, aimed it at the core of the tiger insect's "wide open" trunk, and threw it with force.

Rou——Puff——!!

The movement was accurate and sharp. The broken claw was like a sharp arrow that cut through the air. A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and it directly pierced the tiger insect's torso and penetrated the thick shell.

thump! ! !

The huge tiger insect fell to the ground like a mountain.

Moreover, the insects that were enough to threaten the entire forest ecological chain did not even have a chance to resist in the hands of the child in front of him, and were completely killed.

Green blood gushed out like a fountain, dissipating in all directions as the tiger worm fell to the ground, instantly dyeing the surrounding soil green.

? !

This action also frightened the warrior bugs around.

Their eyeballs on both sides of their torsos were dull, and their brains could not accept the fact before them - the tiger worm actually fell into the hands of a young child?

This seemingly fragile and powerless "child" actually possesses enough power to turn the situation around? !

Shocked by the death of the tiger insect, and without the guidance of the swarm's will, the dozen or so warrior insects immediately turned around and wanted to escape from this rather "evil child".

Rou~——Puff————! !

However, as they turned to escape, the Spear of the Empire, burning with golden flames, came roaring from the sky and pierced a warrior bug.

Boom~! !

As the tip of the Spear of the Empire touched the ground, the golden flame seemed to have "self-awareness" and immediately formed a circle of fire surrounding the shallow pit, directly burning all the warrior bugs to death.

Huh~——Hoo——!

Accompanied by a strong surge of airflow, the surrounding dust and leaves flew up, the flames dissipated instantly, and the insect residue was blown away.

Sanguinius flapped his wings and slowly descended from the air, standing on the edge of the pit.

Although his movements were still calm and graceful, his expression was solemn at this moment, and he looked at the younger brother in front of him with complicated eyes. He had very fair skin and an extremely thin body.

At that moment, Sanguinius felt an unprecedented complexity and heaviness in his heart, and guilt surged in his heart.

If he had known this, he should have arrived here earlier instead of wasting time discussing a series of political affairs and military arrangements with Johnson, Rico and others.

Now, the younger brother in front of him was obviously in an extremely unhealthy physical condition due to over-stimulation of growth and forced accelerated development. He looked increasingly weak and fragile.

On the other hand, the child in front of him was still looking at Sanguinius expressionlessly, his eyes as calm as water.

Neither surprised nor panicked.

He was not afraid of Sanguinius's gaze, because it was not a frightening enemy, but a kind of familiarity.

It was as if he knew from the very beginning that the "giant" in front of him was his brother.

Some deeper instinct had identified him with Sanguinius.

And Sanguinius saw that his younger brother behaved so calmly, compared with the other brothers' crying, asking to be hugged, etc., it was obvious that he had become a lot more mature in an instant.

This scene stung Sanguinius even more.

As an older brother, he should give more protection and care to his younger brother at this time, rather than letting him figure it out on his own in such an extreme environment.

At this moment, Sanguinius saw his younger brother approaching him on his own initiative, and raised his left hand, pointing to his open mouth.

? !

Upon seeing this, Sanguinius immediately realized that his little brother was already suffering from hunger and could no longer endure the pain of an empty stomach.

Then he took a quick step into the pit and gently lifted his little brother from the dirt.

Although the younger brother's weight was almost insignificant and was like a fragile straw that could be easily broken, Sanguinius's sense of responsibility became increasingly heavy.

Then he spread the wings behind him, returned to the sky again, and headed straight for the Phoenix-class support boat anchored above the capital city.

There are still some technical personnel from the biology department in the support boat.

Sanguinius knew that while the technical staff on this ship were not well versed in the Primarch's needs, especially how to prepare nutritional supplements for his early childhood, they could at least provide some basic assistance.

It should be more than enough for me to recover my strength in a short period of time and solve my temporary hunger problem.

After his younger brother's physical condition has stabilized, he will take the time to return to New Hope, use the space gate to go to the Imperial Palace in the main universe, and personally hand over the younger brother to his father.

During this period of time, Sanguinius will take on the responsibilities of both brother and "father".

at the same time.

Sui Yang, who was in the exclusive office in the Imperial Palace, had already seen his son in his arms "with his own eyes" through Sanguinius' power armor.

The extremely fair skin, long black hair, and handsome features all indicate that the son who descended into the Starship Fleet universe is the original owner of the Midnight Lords Legion in Warhammer 40k.

Conrad Coates.

Conrad Curze has many nicknames, including the serious ones such as "Night Hunter", "Midnight Haunter", "Mad Primarch" and so on.

And improper words

They are "Corax Pain Edition", "Extra-Sized Batman Who Laughs", "Extra-Sized Impaler", "Dr. Dredd Ultimate Edition", etc.

Before Sui Yang was forced to travel to the main universe by the Emperor using a "heavy truck collision", he actually "admired" Conrad Curze very much.

After all, it is full of darkness, tragedy and rebellious elements.

Compared with other Primarchs, Curze's personality is extreme and paranoid, with strong pessimism. He believes that the universe is full of corruption and darkness, and that the future of mankind is destined to fall into the abyss.

And Koz also has the ability to predict the future and can "see" the future.

But this ability did not bring hope to Coze, but made him more painful. Because of this, Coze often felt that he could not escape the shackles of fate, let alone find any "light".

As a child, Curze, like other Primarchs, was "swept away" by the evil god of the Warp and fell onto a mining planet, Nostramo.

However, the incubator where Koz was located directly smashed through the surface and sent him deep into the earth.

After he struggled and crawled to the surface hungry, he encountered and ate the first living creature, the Nostramo.

The original body is also able to read the past memories of the "victim" by chewing and eating the brain.

Because of the strict control and exploitation of the upper class in Nostramo, the common people will do anything to survive, and actions like cannibalism like Koz have become commonplace.

Because the people here have long lost their conscience.

At the same time, it also made Koz see an extremely selfish and evil world, and he concluded that "human nature is evil."

Moreover, in his childhood, Curze did not meet adoptive parents like Guilliman, nor was he raised by a group of workers like Corax, so there was no one to guide him, and he had to explore everything by himself.

As a child, he could only eat animals and garbage. If that didn't work, he would continue to eat the Nostramo people, who he considered to be "unforgivable".

The more people he ate, the more he became convinced of the despicable and cruel nature of human beings.

When Curze "grew up", he felt that it was time to take charge of Nostramo's corrupt situation and rectify it himself.

At the beginning, Koze had no desire for power struggle. He only wanted to "punish criminals and uphold justice" and kill those superior nobles and gang leaders who he thought were guilty.

But these methods have no effect at all.

However, it is precisely this point that makes Sui Yang believe that if someone could guide Conrad Koz correctly and give him even a little warmth and "light" in his childhood, it might bring about different results.

Now, Koze is his son, and he is Koze's father. I think everything can change.
