Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Mutant Saibaman vs. Primarch
'Damn those Xenos from Rangda.
'One day, I would find your homeworld, and then have Axis unleash a rain of destruction like this upon it.'
"I am a Primarch of the Imperium, I… I am the Emperor's…"
"No! I… I am a warrior of the Great Galactic Alliance, I… I must fight for the Alliance! Aaah!" The spider-shaped mechanical device embedded in the second Primarch's skull emitted a shrill sonic pulse, driving itself even deeper into his head.
His grunts deepened.
"He looks like he's lost all reason," Axis remarked.
There were just too many freakish monstrosities and bizarre technological horrors in the Warhammer universe!
Just a single Butcher's Nail was enough to destroy Angron, turning him from a wise and kind-hearted Primarch into a berserk madman, a bloodthirsty butcher.
And now, this strange mind-control technology of the Rangda Xenos had utterly broken the second Primarch.
It seemed that all it would take to save him was to rip that thing off his head and destroy it.
"My brother here is already completely insane," Russ said.
It was a crude form of psychic brain control tech, relentlessly sending out pulses to the brain, rooting itself deep within, unleashing a barrage of brainwashing attacks.
In the end, the only fate left for a mind-controlled warrior was either madness, or eternal slavery to the Rangda Xenos.
At that moment, quite a few Astartes shuffled around like zombies.
Some of them also had the same mind-control device clamped onto their heads as the Primarch.
They howled in agony.
Upon seeing this, Axis nodded and gathered his Ki, forming a protective aura around his body.
Saiyans might be terrifyingly powerful, walking disasters capable of destroying worlds, but even they could fall prey to some of the Warhammer universe's freakish technology.
After all, even Broly from the original story had once been controlled by one of his father's gadgets!
In the new movie, Broly's dad even fashioned a shock collar out of spaceship wreckage by hand, and still managed to control him!
"Axis, are you going up first, or do you want Duo to test the waters?" Russ asked.
"Let Duo go first," Axis replied, giving Duo a nod.
If he went up, he'd just finish the fight in one blow.
As strong as a Primarch was, he still couldn't really compare to a Saiyan.
"Dou! Ou!" Duo's lips curled into a wicked grin as he shot forward, becoming nothing more than a blur as he charged the second Primarch.
Seeing someone attacking him, the second Primarch didn't hesitate, he roared and swung his fist.
Golden Ki erupted around Duo, his silhouette stretching into afterimages across the deck.
The ground exploded beneath his feet, and the second Primarch could barely track his blurred movements.
BANG!
A fist wrapped in explosive Ki smashed straight into the Primarch's chest.
The carefully-forged ceramite armor caved in like ordinary steel.
The second Primarch staggered back a few steps.
Suddenly, the spider-like controller on his head flashed a piercing red, all eight mechanical limbs driving deep into his skull.
Dark red veins bulged out at his temples.
"ROOOAR—!" Finally, the giant of a man let out an inhuman howl.
His massive power claw slashed past Duo's nose, gouging five deep furrows into the deck.
Duo leaned back to evade, then twisted his waist and delivered a whip-like kick, trailing a sonic boom, straight into the Primarch's knee.
CRACK!
A bone snapped.
The Primarch crashed to his knees, howling in pain.
"My skull… it's… burning… Emperor… is the shackle…" The second Primarch forced out a mechanical, grinding snarl from his strained vocal cords.
At this moment, the second Primarch was enduring unimaginable pain.
His eyes had turned completely blood-red, and under the controller's influence, he erupted with terrifying speed, managing to keep pace with Duo.
BANG!—BOOM!—CRACK!
The two figures collided furiously, each clash unleashing visible shockwaves.
The ground twisted and shattered, the very air screaming with piercing blasts.
Axis had not expected the Primarch, even in power armor, to be able to go toe-to-toe with Duo.
The Primarch's body was truly monstrous, his defenses far surpassed those of any being at his level.
Every punch from the second Primarch carried a terrifying power, enough to crush tank armor.
Meanwhile, Duo's green aura left afterimages as he moved at high speed, his fists and feet striking the Primarch's body like thunder.
"Dou! Ou!"
Duo grinned savagely, and landed a brutal uppercut to the Primarch's jaw.
The Primarch's head snapped back, his neck vertebrae creaking under the strain.
But in the next instant, the Primarch's knee shot up like a battering ram, slamming into Duo's stomach and sending him flying dozens of meters.
He smashed through three layers of alloy bulkhead.
Duo spat out bloody saliva, his fighting spirit burning even fiercer.
He stomped the ground and his figure broke the sound barrier, leaving a series of sonic booms in his wake.
The second Primarch's pupils contracted sharply, his combat instincts barely caught Duo's trajectory, but his body simply couldn't keep up!
BAM! BAM! BOOM!
Duo's fists rained down like a storm, every blow landing with surgical precision on the Primarch's joints, ribs, and temples.
The Primarch's ceramite armor finally shattered under the relentless onslaught.
Yet the Primarch's body was so resilient, he managed to withstand the brutal barrage by sheer force of will.
"ROAAAAR!" The second Primarch suddenly surged up, grabbed Duo by the throat, and smashed him violently into the ground.
Blood trickled from the corner of Duo's mouth.
He raised a hand, golden-green energy flaring, and blasted the second Primarch away with a ki blast.
He realized that if he let this guy get any closer, he might actually get killed.
Duo pulled back, cupped his hands together, and gathered a massive surge of ki.
He unleashed a golden-green energy wave directly at the second Primarch.
BOOM!!
The ki blast erupted at point-blank range.
As the smoke cleared, the upper half of the Primarch's body was a bloody mess, yet he still staggered to his feet.
Duo charged in, driving an elbow ruthlessly into the Primarch's temple.
CRACK!
The sound of skull breaking rang out, but the Primarch only stumbled for a moment before launching an even more frenzied counterattack!
"ROAAAAR!" Roaring in fury, he hammered a fist into Duo's abdomen.
The shockwave sent Duo flying hundreds of meters, gouging a deep trench into the ground.
Duo wanted to rush back in, but Axis stopped him.
It was his turn now.
When it came to sheer physical power, there was still a clear gap between Duo and the Primarch.
No wonder they called the Primarchs the Emperor's ultimate creations, if they could use ki, and with their lifespan…
Axis really didn't want to imagine that kind of monster in his mind at the moment.
Axis instantly appeared behind the second Primarch, bringing his hand down in a heavy karate chop to the back of the Primarch's neck.
[tl/n: I was worried the primarchs would be nerfed too much!]
