Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Inside the worm.

"Boom...boom..."

The looming and rhythmic beating sound echoed in the dark and seemingly endless tunnel.

And the diameter of this tunnel is more than ten kilometers at least, and the surrounding is sticky and smooth. If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that there are many blood vessel-like lines.

Cooperating with the edge wall of this tunnel, it will twitch briefly with the sound of "boom...boom...". It is not difficult to guess that this so-called tunnel may be the breathing tube or esophagus of a super-large creature.

And here is the inside of the Tailo land worm.

At this time, Sanguinius and the two hundred Holy Blood Guards, who remained hidden, flew to the depths of the land worms along the tunnel using a suspension device with noise equal to nothing.

And the white wings that allow Sanguinius to fly without armor are also in a folded posture.

After all, the air flow generated by the flapping of the wings is much more violent than the position fluctuation of the suspension device.

Under the premise that the entire expeditionary force was used as a bait, Sanguinius and the Holy Blood Guard finally managed to sneak in here, in order to find a target that could perform the beheading mission.

Judging from the experience of confronting the Tyranids for more than a year, any biological fleet, no matter how small in size, will have a leader, lord or tyrant-level bug as the commander, receiving the will of the hive. Manipulation of lower class.

Leaders, lords, tyrants, and very few queens all have a considerable degree of self-intelligence.

And if they are successfully killed, even if the Zerg fleet can re-bred one in a short time, but before the "re-cultivation" is completed, the Zerg fleet will fall into a state of chaos and disorder.

Therefore, taking advantage of this gap, the imperial military can easily wipe out the leaderless fleet of worms.

Now, the three Primarchs are applying this routine to the land worms to confirm that there is a leader at the core of the land worms, and even the leader of the entire Tylo Zerg.

If it is beheaded, it may be able to solve the Tailo Zerg once and for all, and secondly, it can also turn the current battle situation around.

After continuing to fly for a few minutes, Sanguinius and the others still encountered no obstacles.

And the more peaceful, the more abnormal, this truth is widely circulated in all Astartes, and even the entire imperial army.

soon.

The group of them left the relatively "narrow" tunnel or pipe, and came to an extremely wide space illuminated by dark red light.

Looking around, the barrier is still the kind of biological tissue with blood vessels and soft texture, and there are many milky white and purple bones to bear the load-bearing columns and irregular floor tiles.

And if you look towards the front opposite to the exit of the pipe, you can see the mesh bone wall, and through the gaps in the bone wall, the dark red light is sprinkled into and illuminates the entire space, which is of great importance to the Tailo Zerg. Significant red dwarf.

at the same time…

"Boom! Boom!"

The dense biological cannons emitting a faint green light bombarded the Primarch and the Glory Guard from multiple angles.

The artillery group, which was enough to destroy and disintegrate the Olympus-level shield, exploded directly, raising a thick fog and ripples of plasma texture.

But in the blink of an eye, a dark golden psionic shock reversely dissipated a series of effects caused by the biological cannonball, and directly passed the step of "dissipating the aftermath".

I saw that a group of people had already lifted their concealment, and the wings behind Sanguinius flapped slightly. It seemed that the person who released the dark golden psionic energy just now was this almost flawless man in all aspects. Primarch.

Moreover, the two hundred holy blood guards beside Sanguinius also spread out the metal wings on their backs, raised their respective parallel blasters, melta and plasma cannons, and aimed at the center of the space.

Looking there along their line of sight, you can see many huge leader-level samurai bugs.

In terms of appearance and size, these guys are similar to the chief samurai who severely damaged the battle platoon of the fighters, but the crown bone on the head is larger and more obvious, and the exoskeleton is also sharper, and there are many blood radiating from it. Texture of red light.

In addition to two pairs of four extremely sharp bone blades with a bio-decomposition position, these guys also have a pair of bio-cannons with a diameter of about 1000mm that look like rough cigars, which can fire bio-cannons with a disintegration position. group.

Therefore, they are also those elite units whose combat strength is comparable to that of the Glory Guard, or even the chief warrior bug variant that is higher than the Glory Guard, and then advanced. Each of them has a relatively independent thinking ability. The interior of the Tailo Zerg is a relatively rare existence.

The number of leader-level bugs in front of Sanguinius and the others was at least five hundred, and after pulse scanning, the precise number obtained was "517".

To this.

Even Sanguinius, who unfolded his helmet, showed a trace of sadness.

Because leader-level bugs often represent the highest combat power of large-scale Zerg fleets.

The Glory Guard must not be careless in front of them, and must be on all alert and pay attention to them, otherwise, if they are not careful, they may be instantly killed by the leader.

As for the protection provided by the father?

As the blood angels of the older generation of Astartes, they never thought about this. From the moment they entered the legion, they wanted to share the responsibility for their father, not to make his father's responsibility heavier.

And the existence that can gather so many leader-level bugs, and is also guarded and protected by groups, is sitting on a stepped platform in the shape of a well, which looks like a .

"toad".

The body is too fat and bloated, and there are irregular tentacles squirming on the body, and it is covered with ultraviolet skeletons of different sizes. The overall appearance is like a huge toad spliced ​​​​by different races and creatures.

senile.

This was the opponent's first impression of Sanguinius and the Holy Blood Guard.

What's more, the toad danced one of them, as if the human arm had been magnified more than ten times, and the limbs with six-finger structure, signaled the leader next to him not to continue attacking.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Fang stared at Sanguinius with eyes of different sizes on the top and sides of his head, which looked like densely packed blisters. He didn't know what organ to use, and said:

"Humanity."

But as soon as the toad uttered a word, it was interrupted by a dark golden psionic arrow that was infinitely close to the speed of light.

boom! !

The arrow "hit" the toad with perfect precision.

In an instant, the dark golden light filled the huge space.

Even though the Tailo Zerg has a strong suppression of psychic energy, the burst of this psychic arrow still has a psychic impact no less than the galaxy level.

However, after the glory, the toad and all the leader-level bugs did not suffer any losses as expected. For this, Sanguinius, who was holding a hunting bow, had long been mentally prepared for this.

If it can be solved with one arrow, their expeditionary force will not have to suffer the most costly battle in Astartes since the establishment of the empire.

Sanguinius was just testing the waters with arrows to find out how strong the opponent was.

And without any disguise, he waved his left hand, signaling the Holy Blood Guard to "play by ear", and then flapped the wings on his back and flew towards the toad, saying in words without any apology:

"I made a rash move just now, I'm really sorry, please continue."

"."

Although that toad knows that human beings are "mean" and likes to make a surprise attack without saying hello, but knowing it is knowing, and there is a huge difference from the experience of personal experience.

Fortunately, Toad didn't care too much about anything, just kept silent for a while, and then continued to respond to the texture of the words, and once again spread in the whole space:

"Human, I. We know your life experience. You are the tenth son of the Lord of Humanity and the Primarch of the Blood Angels.

This also makes you qualified enough to negotiate with me... us. "

"Negotiation? Trade?" Sanguinius asked back: "Before that, I need to understand where you and your race came from, and why you devoured everything unscrupulously."

Theoretically, it is absolutely impossible for the human empire to negotiate and trade with the Zerg civilization, and if his father were here, he might kill the toad directly.

But Sanguinius needs more time to analyze and observe the weakness of that toad, so that he can kill with one blow and avoid mistakes. After all, he can't let down the opportunity won by the two brothers.

What's more, they really need all the information about the Tylo Zerg.

"Want to learn more about us?" But the toad saw through Sanguinius's thoughts at a glance, but changed the subject:

"Hehe... However, we are not that stingy, and this request can still be satisfied with you, just treat it as a candid statement before the negotiation.

You named us Tello after a planet, in fact, "the Old Ones". "

"The only ancient one..." Sanguinius frowned slightly, always feeling that the other party was very likely to be related to some long-extinct races in the 03 universe that his father had revealed.

But Toad didn't care what Sanguinius was thinking, and continued to talk: "The only ancient is not a self-proclaimed name, but an honorific name for the race and civilization created and improved by us.

Taking the year that you humans can understand as a unit, it was almost ten billion years ago..."

next.

The toad told Sanguinius pretty much everything about it, or about them before, during, and after they became Zerg.

First of all, they are indeed a race that should have disappeared in the long history of universe 03. Because of betrayal, fraud and other encounters, they were almost extinct.

Coupled with the "one and only ancient"...

If Sui Bian is here, it may be much clearer than Sanguinius, because this is the previous life when the human empire was pulled into the main universe by the same body, and we can understand the background board-level race in "Warhammer 40k"——

Old saints.

Of course, Sanguinius didn't know this, and the Zero Three universe is also quite different from "Warhammer 40k", especially those Emperor Zero Three who seem to have spied on the past and the future, and even manipulated and calculated the entire universe .

Toad said that the singularity explosion of universe 03 was 16 billion years ago, which is very similar to the main universe.

And in the first six billion years, the universe expanded rapidly, the temperature dropped steadily, and all matter began to randomly disperse, pile up and fuse.

Gradually, celestial systems such as galaxies, the local group of galaxies, and the total group of galaxies began to appear, but the universe at that time was not yet suitable for life.

After all, at the moment of the big bang at the singularity point, the temperature of the universe was infinitely high. In the following hundreds of millions of years, the average temperature of the universe was still around 10,000 degrees. The previous minus two hundred degrees, until it stabilized at around -272°C.

At this time, the Milky Way has been formed, and they were born in the Milky Way, belonging to the earliest batch of intelligent life in the entire universe.

Their parent galaxy is a red dwarf star, and it is an extremely unstable red dwarf star. If calculated according to various mathematical models of human beings, it is impossible to give birth to life in their environment.

But the ancestors of the ancient saints managed to survive the past, and made them and all the creatures on their home planet have super-high-strength physical bodies...

That is to say, since its birth, it has a physical fitness that far exceeds that of an Astarte, and a lifespan that is close to infinity.

What's more important is that the ancient sages don't like infighting, they are very interested in the improvement of the ideological realm, and the origin of the universe.

Yes.

In the ten billion years since the explosion of the singularity, they were the first to understand that everything has a soul, and, after the death of a creature like them in the physical universe, the soul will go to the so-called sea of ​​souls.

At the same time, their progress in the development of spiritual energy is much faster than that of physical science. When they leave their home star and home galaxy, they have already mastered how to enter the sea of ​​souls at will.

Moreover, they are still in the gap between the sea of ​​souls and the physical universe, and they have begun to build the "webway" that is convenient for interstellar navigation, just like the human highway.

When they travel between the Milky Way and the universe, they discover that many planets have the opportunity to give birth to life, but due to a flare explosion of a star, or some unexpected asteroids and meteorites, they finally lose the opportunity to continue to flourish Finally, I had an idea similar to the manager's civilization.

Manage, create and improve the beginning of all things between the galaxy and the universe.

The Old Sages may not have developed to the extreme in terms of physical technology, but they were already at the ceiling level at that time. More importantly, the sea of ​​souls was very calm under their management, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a back garden.

And all the planets in the Milky Way that have a chance of giving birth to life, or have already given birth to life, have been visited by them.

It also includes Terra.

But at that time, the solar system had just been born less than 100 million years ago, and all the planets were in a state of chaos, so they were skipped by the ancient saints.

(Note: The zero-three universe is not consistent with 40k, otherwise there would not be such a heterogeneity as the zero-three emperor. In this book, human beings are not ancient holy creations)

Until, they encountered a race that was only a billion years younger than them...

A person who also lives in an extreme environment, has endless desires for health, longevity, and immortality, and has a relatively advanced technology in physics, but is very short-lived——

"Necrophobia".
