Ace Killer!
Rhodes also planned to send him out to join the jungler squad. This guy could even serve as the squad leader.
He didn't even need Rhodes to control him—he could command the remaining monsters in battle on his own.
Rhodes immediately summoned Ace Killer to appear before him.
A tall, slender monster with a golden, exaggerated slanted face and golden armor surrounding its body appeared before Rhodes.
"Master! At your service." Ace Killer knelt on the ground and spoke to Rhodes.
Looking at the Ace Killer in front of him, Rhodes nodded in satisfaction. Its crimson body, golden armor, and massive claws exuded an overwhelming sense of intimidation.
Killer Ace could absorb various Ultraman beam attacks. So, what would happen if Rhodes attacked it using the Emperor's psionic energy?
"Ace Killer! Can you absorb this kind of power?" Rhodes suddenly had an idea. A golden sphere of psionic energy appeared in his palm as he asked.
If Ace Killer could absorb the Emperor's golden psionic energy, then things could get very interesting—it was worth testing.
"Master, as long as it is energy-based light, I can absorb it. I am a special lifeform created by the Yapool.
Inside my body, I possess an Ultraman Matrix that allows me to absorb various types of energy and use them for myself," Ace Killer responded.
He was the proud creation of the Yapool, specifically designed to kill Ultraman Ace.
If it weren't for the other four Ultramen cheating and lending their power to Ace, Ace Ultraman would have been eliminated by him back then.
The golden energy in his master's hands carried a sacred quality, much like the beams of the Ultra warriors—it should be completely absorbable.
"Then prepare yourself! I will unleash this energy at full power. If you can't absorb it, stop me immediately," Rhodes said excitedly, channeling his psionic energy at full force.
"Come on, Master! I'm ready. I can absorb this energy," Ace Killer nodded, opening the green energy indicator on his chest.
He then knelt before Rhodes, unveiling his massive energy core.
Ace Killer absorbed beam energy through this large energy indicator.
Rhodes gathered terrifying golden psionic energy and, using his palm as a medium, released it in a golden beam, striking Ace Killer's energy indicator.
The moment the beam made contact, the golden psionic energy was instantly absorbed by Ace Killer.
Ace Killer even displayed an expression of pure ecstasy.
"More, Master! Increase the output—I can handle it. This golden energy is wonderful!"
"Alright, I'll increase the intensity," Rhodes took a deep breath, fully mobilizing his inner power.
He even activated Red King's Rampage mode, allowing his body to withstand more psionic energy.
An unending stream of psionic energy was extracted from the warp space, enhanced by the Emperor's power, and transformed into golden energy before being unleashed at Ace Killer.
During this time, Rhodes had further studied his psionic power.
It wasn't originally granted by the Emperor—the Emperor had merely reinforced it with golden energy, imbuing it with an aura of divine radiance.
His psionic power would grow stronger as he continued to enhance his monsters.
The psionic energy surge lasted for several minutes.
Sweat formed on Rhodes' forehead, and his stamina was severely drained, but he gritted his teeth and endured.
Just as Rhodes' consciousness started to blur, Ace Killer finally finished absorbing the Emperor's golden psionic energy.
"It's done, Master! I've successfully obtained this power. I can now use this golden beam myself," Ace Killer nodded.
Hearing this, Rhodes finally stopped the energy transfer, feeling an immense relief.
At this point, his legs felt weak, and his entire body was exhausted.
"Whew! That was tougher than I expected, but at least it worked," Rhodes panted as he sat down in the spaceship's chair, looking at Ace Killer.
"Damn, that almost drained me dry! This better be worth it!"
"Master, I have fully mastered this golden energy and can even fire it as a beam attack," Ace Killer said, summoning a glowing sphere of golden psionic energy in his palm.
This energy was even more potent than what Rhodes had wielded—it radiated a warm, divine aura.
With Ace Killer's massive body wielding it, the psionic energy became even more immense, far surpassing what Rhodes could use.
"Excellent! Very good! Use this power wisely. Let me see if I can enhance it further," Rhodes nodded in satisfaction and opened the system's enhancement interface.
[Holy Beam]
Infused with the benevolence of the Lord of Humanity and his hatred toward the Chaos Gods.
A miraculous beam created from the Emperor's Psionic Sun energy.
Inflicts devastating damage upon any Chaos Daemon or Warp-corrupted entity.
Ordinary Chaos daemons exposed to this holy beam will be instantly annihilated, unable to return to the Warp for resurrection.
Can be further enhanced using system gold coins.
The ability can be upgraded three times in total.
[First Upgrade: Costs 20,000 gold coins, increasing the range and output power of the Holy Beam. The first upgrade is fairly standard, simply enhancing its power and output.]
[Second Upgrade: This is where a qualitative transformation occurs, and the cost shocks Rod—it's 10 times higher!]
Requires 200,000 system gold coins to further boost the power and range of the Holy Ray.
It can now permanently kill Chaos Champions and Chaos Chosen in the real universe.
[Third Upgrade: Again, 10 times the cost, requiring 2 million gold coins.]
Prerequisite: The Ace Killer's body must be fully enhanced before this upgrade can be applied.
This will create a Holy Energy Furnace within the Ace Killer, allowing it to continuously generate golden Holy Energy.
This upgrade enables the Holy Energy Beam to effortlessly kill Chaos Greater Daemons and Chaos Daemon Princes.
As long as it continuously hits a high-ranking daemon, it can permanently annihilate them in the real universe, preventing them from resurrecting in the Warp.
It can also bestow psionic blessings upon the Emperor's followers, boosting their combat strength and helping the host resist the gaze of the Chaos Gods.
[Holy Transformation Mode]
When activated, golden Holy Energy envelops the entire body, turning the Ace Killer into Holy Psionic Mode for one minute, greatly enhancing all combat abilities.
The emitted golden energy instantly kills low-level daemons upon contact.
While in Holy Psionic Transformation Mode, it can unleash an Ultraman-like explosive attack, capable of annihilating an entire planet of Chaos Daemons in an instant.
"Holy shit! Holy shit! This is insane!"
Although the upgrade costs escalate tenfold each time—20,000 for the first, 200,000 for the second, and 2 million for the third—the ability to slaughter Chaos Daemons, Chaos Champions, Chaos Chosen, and even Chaos Daemon Princes and Greater Daemons makes it worth it.
"Not bad! Not bad! I can't believe I got the Emperor's Holy Psionic Power for free, and it can even be upgraded! Not only that, but the upgrades are broken!"
The final ultimate enhancement unlocks a transformation mode!
Once transformed, the power skyrockets, allowing instant kills on Chaos Daemon Princes!
Rodes thought to himself: "My alternate-dimension Ace Killer might as well be called the Chaos Daemon Slayer at this point. With this golden Emperor's Holy Psionic Ray, it's the ultimate bane against Chaos Daemons!"
A giant warrior wielding the Emperor's Psionic Light—imagine what the human faction would think if they saw this!
Rhodes wondered whether to find a Chaos-infested world or raid the stronghold of Chaos Space Marines—maybe the Red Corsairs—to let his alternate-dimension Chaos Daemon Slayer test his strength.
Or perhaps wait for the 13th Black Crusade and deploy the Chaos Daemon Slayer to the Cadian Gate to hold back the Chaos Space Marines.
With this alternate-dimension Chaos Daemon Slayer, Rhodes could claim that it was a great miracle of the Emperor, a Holy Weapon summoned to destroy Chaos Daemon Princes!
"Ace Killer! You need a new name!"
"From now on, you'll be called the Chaos Daemon Slayer. Ace Killer doesn't suit you anymore."
Rhodes stroked his chin as he spoke.
"As you command, my master! From now on, I am the Chaos Daemon Slayer, dedicated to eliminating all your enemies!"
The name was just a codename. Previously, he was called Ace Killer because his mission was to eliminate Ace Ultraman.
Now that his target is Chaos Daemons, he is the Chaos Daemon Slayer.
Rhodes nodded in satisfaction and immediately spent 20,000 gold coins to perform the first upgrade on the Chaos Daemon Slayer, making his golden Holy Psionic Power even stronger.
"How do you feel? I've given you your first upgrade."
"Master, my Holy Beam is now at least twice as powerful as before, and its range is significantly extended," replied the Chaos Daemon Slayer.
"Excellent! I'll arrange battle partners for you later. You'll meet up with another group, but for now, you're not going after the Tyranids. I have a new opponent for you."
Now that he had an ultimate anti-Chaos weapon, he had to test it against Chaos Space Marines.
Or maybe find a planet where a massive Chaos Daemon summoning ritual was happening, so the Chaos Daemons could witness the birth of their worst nightmare.
"Tremble in fear! The ultimate Chaos Daemon Slayer has arrived just for you!"
