Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The fire of the explosion instantly lit up outside the bridge, and the dazzling light illuminated Cole's face. The captain's eyes turned into slender sharp eyes under the strong light, but he still looked directly at the explosion. The firelight watched the hive battleship disintegrate, and the giant beast in the universe opened its mouth and roared to disintegrate under the fierce bombardment of the surrounding imperial warships.

The imperial warships surrounding it opened fire violently on its side, and roaring shells bombarded it in groups. The chitinous carapace shattered and disintegrated, and with the black blood splashing into the void of the universe, the giant beast screamed in agony.

A dazzling Nova Cannon light beam roared and pierced its neck. The giant beast's head was instantly split into two in the light beam. A large amount of blood surged into the universe, and in the floating blood, more flickered. The torpedoes of light spots rushed over, and they hit the insect swarm biological battleship behind like flying meteors.

In an instant, more blood spattered, and the black carapace filled the universe like broken meteor powder. The Hive Fleet howled and swam forward, but the huge Imperial fleet that had already been assembled and on standby immediately attacked them head-on. All the Empires The jets at the end of the battleship lit up, instantly forming a long steel wall in Baal's orbit.

An endless fleet of insect swarms rolled over, and around the biological ships that roared with their mouths open, flying Tyranid war beasts rushed in like a storm. They were so overwhelming that they even blocked the sun of the Baal system in the distance.

Cole looked at them, standing steadily with his hands behind his back, and a long-awaited voice came from the bridge area below him, "All battleships are in position, the targets are locked, and they are waiting for orders."

"Fire."

Following Cole's order, the Emperor's Light Emperor-class battleship he was sitting on took the lead in roaring. Rows of macro cannons burst out with roars that resounded throughout the galaxy. In the dazzling firelight, all the surrounding battleships began to fire. Roaring, macro cannons pierced the sky, light spears penetrated the dark universe, and missiles and torpedoes flew away like raindrops.

In an instant, there was an explosion at the front of the entire swarm fleet. The biological ship that exploded and disintegrated flew out and hit other warships on one side, and they were hit by more cannonballs and light spears at the same time, disintegrating and collapsing.

The light of the Nova Cannon flew past Cole as the main body, and was followed by more light beams. Countless light spears shot into the dense insect fleet, and more macro cannonballs were among them. Sparks bloomed in full bloom.

Cole stood on the bridge, looking at the battlefield outside the window with his hands behind his back, and then looked toward the bridge area below, "Have you found the location of the insect swarm hatching pool?"

"Yes, Captain, the divination instrument has identified the location of the incubation pool, and more biological signals of Tyranid units have been found nearby."

Cole nodded. He pressed the communicator at hand, and a lightning eagle logo quickly appeared on it. "Vito, the target has been found, and the coordinates have been sent to you. Do you need support?"

"Support? That's interesting." Vito's voice came from the other end. He stood at the end hatch of the Aquila, and the sound of the rushing wind tore his words apart, combining the explosion with the roar of the endless war beast. The sound mixed together and poured into the cabin.

Vito stood there overlooking the hatching pool that appeared below. Several small hatching pools surrounded a large hatching pool. They were distributed all over the mountains and plains, with bubbles and hot corrosive smoke constantly rising from them. At the edge, new life The Tyranid warbeast is crawling out of the hatching pool.

Beasts as small as knife bugs and as large as Titans were born from incubation pools of different sizes. They roared at each other and gathered on the surrounding red earth. It was an endless sea of ​​​​insects, covering the earth and mountains, until the world the end of.

But what they don't know is that their insect life may be extremely short-lived, and it will be over as soon as they climb out of the hatching pool, because death is about to fall from the sky above their heads.

"Lily, we're here. I'm going down. Remember to drive my boat back properly and don't let those flying bastards scratch me." Vito turned to look at the cab door far away in the cabin, where Lilith was sitting On one of the orange driver's chairs, she pressed the operating lever with one hand and stretched out her other hand to bow casually.

"Then it depends on whether you can let the Hive Mind have a good drink. I wish you a happy hunting." "Huh, I believe it will. It will be a particularly unforgettable one."

Vito smiled and golden lightning jumped in his eyes. He looked down at the hatching pool and the sea of ​​​​worms. He took a step forward and jumped down. He whizzed down from the air, and huge lightning was instantly released around his body, in the sky. There were heavy clouds above, and thunder burst out from the dark clouds.

The Skyhawk accelerated away from the airspace in an instant, and a huge arc of electricity crashed down from above it, shattering the mountains. With a huge roar, the entire mountains began to collapse, and the huge rocks pouring down instantly crushed the mountains. There was a large area of ​​Tyranids underfoot, and the Tyranids warrior beside the hatching pool also noticed this. After a moment of silence, it raised its head and looked above its head.

It saw the falling Vito, with golden lightning dancing all over his body. That was the last scene the warrior insect saw in his life, and it was also the last scene that all the war beasts around it saw.

The swarm of insects raised their heads and looked at Vito, and then they were shattered into pieces in the psychic impact of Vito's sudden stomp to the ground. The bodies of the war beasts were instantly swept away, their carapace collapsed, and their flesh and blood disappeared instantly in the shock wave. They finally The screams could not even reach the boundary of the shock wave.

The tall Titan war beast also fell to the ground in the impact. Taking the impact point as the location, surging psychic shock waves swept across the earth and spread in all directions around. The center of the insect sea bloomed on the entire plain of Baal, and swarms of insects bloomed in the center. The Tyranid war beasts were wiped out in the blink of an eye.

The other Tyranid Node warriors in the distance turned their heads. They looked at Vito standing on the collapsed plain and roared. The warrior raised the bone knife in his hand and slashed at Vito, roaring into the air. With the movement of the Hive Mind, He ordered all the surrounding war beasts to rush forward, and they rushed towards Vito from all directions like a tide.

The latter glanced at the roaring war beasts around him, and watched the tall beast with its bloody mouth draw out its sword. Vito raised the sword high, and in an instant, a giant electric arc flew down from the clouds in the sky. Hitting the blade of the sword, Vito roared and thrust the sword into the ground beneath his feet.

In the blink of an eye, the entire earth cracked, and the earth's crust surged upwards and pierced the surface. The surrounding land collapsed and swallowed up all the war beasts that collapsed on it. Those war beasts that had just crawled out of the incubation pool , and the hatching pool itself was swallowed up by the churning earth.

On the land of Baal, with Vito as a dot, countless huge rift valleys extend in all directions, each of which is hundreds of meters wide and several kilometers deep. The rifts below are filled with Vito's powerful spiritual energy. After pulling it out, the lava surged into it and engulfed all the beasts falling from above.

They didn't even have time to scream and disappeared in Baal's lava. Vito held the blade and turned it sharply to one side. Countless golden lightnings jumped out of his body and struck the ground. Those lightnings danced on the ground. , exciting the lava in the rift valley, and the molten magma in the earth's crust sprayed onto the earth.

From the rift valley, from the ground, from the cracks in all the rocks, molten lava poured out like a collapse flood. One side of the distant mountain range collapsed, and seawater-like molten lava rushed onto the land of Baal from there and poured into the plains. Tyranid swarm on.

The tall war beast looked at the incoming lava. It roared and stepped back to one side. All the smaller war beasts below were caught in the first wave of lava, and in the distance, A tsunami of lava with a height of tens of meters surged over, knocking down the giant beast and engulfing it.

The war beast screamed and turned into a rock wrapped in hot fire, and more lava was rolling around it. They erupted from every corner of the earth, engulfing the surrounding Tyranid swarms. These war beasts The beast had nowhere to escape, so it could only flee toward the rocks and heights that were still higher than the lava.

The Tyranid warrior climbed up the rock. Half of its body had been engulfed by the lava. The chitinous carapace turned into a layer of flowing liquid. The flesh and blood beneath it glowed scarlet, stinging the warrior's mind. It stood incompletely. The rock roared towards Vito in the middle of the lava sea in the distance.

The latter stood up, and with a flick of his fingers, the lava around the rock surged up, engulfing the warrior. Vito raised his head, pulled out his sword, and waved it with his backhand. The surging psychic power came from his sword. He slashed upwards, instantly cutting off a mountain peak in the distance.

The pouring rocks will smash down all the war beasts who climbed up the mountains to avoid the sea of ​​magma. With a wave of Vito, the psychic blade split the mountainsides from the center, and the entire mountain range was shattered. It collapsed, and all the incubation pools beneath it were smashed by boulders, and the extending rift was pursued into the earth's crust.

Vito looked around at the waves of magma rushing around him. The biomass liquid in the hatching tank was poured on the magma and hissed and emitted white smoke. The endless swarm of insects that were on this plain a few minutes ago were now Now they have all disappeared. They were swallowed up by the rolling lava, leaving only the huge bodies of the large war beasts and the unburned carapace floating on them.

As for the remaining war beasts, they were completely in chaos as the node creatures were swallowed up by the rift and lava. They were like headless flies, relying on their instincts to flee around, and some climbed onto high rocks. Struggling to survive and continue the final destruction, other war beasts that were lucky enough to be on the edge also began to flee around.

Vito looked into the distance, looking at the mountains pouring down in the distance. In the sky where the mountains collapsed, swarms of black flying insects were howling and rushing towards him. They opened their bloody mouths. , clustered around the giant flying widow beast with a wingspan of hundreds of meters.

They were obviously transferred from other places in Baal. The Hive Mind did not expect that the hatching pool would bloom in the center. He could not have guessed that since someone could jump into the sea alone, in his endless swarm of insects, Destroy the hatching pool while defending.

Vito glanced aside and was torn apart as the rift expanded, and then fell into the incubation pool of the rift lava. The Tyranid larvae that had not yet had time to develop and form also fell together, and fell away with slender screams. Into the hot molten fluid.

The flying widow beast roared in the distance, and its voice resounded throughout the sky. Vito smiled and raised his head to look at it, "It's quite loud. Can I also scream?"

Vito said as he slowly clenched his power claws. He stood up, and dazzling golden light and lightning burst out from his eyes. His whole body turned into waves of psychic energy. Lightning swept through his body, and all his black hair fell from his hair. The root turned into lightning, and Vito suddenly punched out the power claw, and a huge beating arc of electricity rushed into the sky.

The lightning broke through the clouds and struck through the flying Tyrannosaurus that roared across the sky. They were all instantly evaporated around the lightning, and their bodies disappeared in an instant, leaving no ashes behind. The lightning whizzed past, piercing through the herd of beasts. Shooting towards the giant widow beast, the huge war beast looked at the golden lightning in front of it and opened its mouth and roared.

I don’t know if it was a scream of fear or an angry roar of the Hive Mind, but the sound disappeared almost instantly, because it penetrated the body of the war beast and tore the body in the center of its wings to pieces in an instant. The disintegration finally disappeared, and the huge widow war beast only had two incomplete wings falling from the sky, falling into the sea of ​​molten water and splashing with waves.

Vito looked up at the sky. He raised the Phoenix Sword in his hand and pointed it at the sky. Suddenly there was a loud thunder in the sky, and countless lightnings surged from it, and then shot downwards. The flying Tyrans flying under the dark clouds were The lightning struck, and the beasts with spread wings fell into the sky.

Lightning continued to fall from the sky, and as the falling Tyranids bombarded the surrounding ground, the entire land scattered in all directions. The Tyranids avoiding the magma were struck by the falling lightning, and in the blink of an eye, Vito's surrounding horizon Countless rays of light shone on the sky, and the rift continued to extend to the end of the skyline, and the molten lava rolled away, sweeping across the entire plain.

Vito looked at the ground around him, and he suddenly laughed awkwardly. Looking at the surrounding lava and rifts, he smiled bitterly, "I hope Dante and the Blood Angels won't blame me for turning their home world into this. Let’s hope the Adeptus Mechanicus’ planet-modification technology works.”

While Vito was looking around with one hand on his hips and smiling, a burly body stood up in the broken main hatching pool behind him. The entire huge hatching pool around it was swallowed up in the broken crust. All the hatching liquid flowed into the lava along the rift valley, and white smoke rose up in a hissing reaction.

And in the smoke, a tyrant stood up on the edge of the incubation pool that was about to completely collapse. Its claws were on the edge of the water. The liquid on its body flowed down along the carapace and it flipped out of the incubation pool. All parts behind it were completely destroyed. In the next moment, he fell into the rift valley.

Standing in front of the white smoke rising from the Great Rift Valley, the tyrant suddenly raised the bone knives in both hands and roared at Vito. The latter turned his head towards the charging tyrant. The beast roared and rushed towards him. The bone knife, still carrying the hatching water, fell towards Vito.

But the latter greeted him like this, and instantly knocked away one of the bone knives. Then he swung his sword with his backhand and neatly cut off the other one. The bone blade flew out and stuck on the ground. Vito kept stepping forward, Every swing of the blade is accompanied by a roar of powerful psychic power.

Lightning burst out between the two, and Vito relied on his own strength to break through the subspace shadow released by the tyrant's hive mind. It was now very weak, and its insect swarms died under Vito's storm. , its fleet is also turning into cosmic debris in the orbit above.

"You lost, why don't you just surrender and admit defeat? Although I haven't taken any Tyranid prisoners yet." Vito smiled sarcastically, blocked the sword in front of him with his backhand, and caught the tyrant's last double blades. The two hands on the tyrant's abdomen The sword slashed hard and collided with the Phoenix Sword. Lightning burst out instantly. The impact released by the head-on collision between the subspace shadow and the psychic storm shattered the surrounding land.

The tyrant looked down at Vito from a high place. It opened its big mouth and spit out a twisted and ferocious sound from behind the sharp teeth. It was like the words formed by the resonance of the flapping wings of thousands of insects, "I will swallow your stars." , eat your planet and everything, I’m coming, you can’t stop me!”

"The insect swarm will last forever!"

"Really? Then I'll wait for you here. Don't be late, you fat bastard." Vito mocked. The tyrant opened his mouth and let out an angry howl. The sound was like the scream of an endless swarm of insects. At the sound of the sound, Vito let go of one hand, and golden lightning instantly jumped on the power claw and stabbed it fiercely.

The sharp claws pierced the tyrant's abdomen. The beast screamed instantly, and golden light shot out from its eyes and mouth. It trembled violently and was pierced by the light from the inside. Light spots shot out from the body, Vito Smiling slightly, his eyes lit up, and with all the strength of the lightning hair on the back of his head, the most powerful psychic power in human history blasted from the tyrant's brain into the body of the Hive Mind.

The will of the swarm howled through the mouth of the tyrant. It howled in pain, "I will remember you! I will find you!"

"Yes, yes, I know, I'll wait for you." Vito smiled and then glared. The tyrant's body exploded, and the light instantly engulfed its whole body, swallowing everything in the body, and with that As the light bloomed, the entire land was covered in golden light, and all the Talon who were still fleeing were submerged in the light.

The light rose rapidly from the surface of the earth. Looking from the astrolabe of the universe, the light spread instantly to all directions. The entire Baal Galaxy and all the surrounding star systems were covered, and the golden light rushed straight to the end of the Milky Way. The edge, blooming outward from that border.

The dazzling light shines at the edge of the Milky Way, spreading outward, lighting up the entire outer darkness. The insect hive savings in that darkness are illuminated, and among the leading insect hive giant ships and fleets, through millions of creatures Looking into the ship's eyes, the Hive Mind looked at the absolute irony and challenge and roared. It was the simultaneous howling of countless insect swarms and countless hive fleets.

Vito turned his back to the light. He held his sword and looked into the air. He looked into the darkness of the universe beyond the dark clouds. He heard the harsh roar coming from the spiritual level, and looked up at the countless exploding Tyranid biological ships above his head. All over the sky laughed.

"Another powerful threat is trying to kill me. It's a nice Imperial Sunday."
