Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 326: The Worms of Hades, the terrifying new Tyranid troop!
Interior of the Governor's Palace.

The broken bodies of Genestealers and Tyranid warriors littered the ground, emitting a foul stench in the shadows.

With a buzzing sound, Karan used the power sword to execute the last genestealer.

But he did not feel any joy of victory.

The company commander turned around and saw a tragic scene.

A son of Sanguinius, a veteran Terminator, lay in the middle of the hall, his limbs splayed out on both sides, his eyes staring silently at the shattered dome above.

The Terminators were surrounding the veteran's body, watching in silence.

As if paying tribute.

Karaan walked over, took off his helmet, knelt down, and paid tribute to the fallen veteran.

"Rest in peace, noble blood of Sanguinius..."

He looked at the tortured face of the dead veteran and placed a hand on his chest: "Let go of everything and return to the throne. We will take over your responsibilities and make the enemy pay with blood!"

pity.

They didn't even have time to mourn.

After a few seconds.

"Let us go. The blood of Sanguinius will not stop here. We must find the Governor..."

Karaen stood up and led the remaining warriors deeper into the palace. They had a more sacred mission to accomplish.

Too many battle-brothers have died in the service of this mission.

They were also scarred.

Fortunately.

It's all worth it.

The Governor's hiding place has been discovered.

Not far from them.

If only the bloodline of Vraks could be found, the sons of Sanguinius would have a chance to escape the eternal, nightmarish curse.

That was the hope they had been looking forward to for countless centuries!
Karaen and his group walked into the depths of silence.

however.

During the rest of their journey, they did not encounter any attacks from Tyranid creatures.

"Be careful!"

Karan became more and more alert.

He suspected the Tyranids had resorted to more threatening means to deal with them.

What is even more disturbing is.

He sensed a vicious and sinister gaze secretly watching him.

Obviously.

It was an extremely powerful node creature.

This way.

It set up numerous ambushes, reduced their numbers as much as possible, and was ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

but no matter.

They had to keep going, there was no turning back.

Karaan led the warriors along the route on the map and traveled in a secret passage for a while.

In the silence, a new sound suddenly appeared.

That wasn't the sound of Tyranids or artillery fire, it was more like some kind of... music.

Karaen and his companions followed the sound and found a huge garden.

"Damn bastard!"

The company commander looked at everything in front of him, filled with anger.

This luxurious place is completely different from the outside world: green meadows surround clear lakes, and the blazing sun makes this little world as bright as day.

Countless noble men and women were lying on the grass, sleeping, with crystal wine bottles lying around them.

When the Higanbana star suffered a disaster.

These guys are enjoying themselves to the fullest, living a life of drunkenness and debauchery.

At the end of the garden was a luxurious pavilion, and an old man in noble attire was lying on a soft seat in the middle of the pavilion.

That is the target of the Blood Angels' trip, the descendant of the Flax family and the governor of the planet Bana - Augustus.

"Welcome, my friends..."

The old Augustus opened his tired eyes and glanced at the Blood Angel without any panic.

Instead, he raised his hand and asked the guards around him to retreat.

There was a hint of disappointment in his voice:
"Angels, you came at a really bad time... I thought it was my brother... The Hades Worm, the creature of revenge, you know, it has been looking for me,..."

The old man spoke some seemingly unrelated words in a disjointed manner.

"Sir Augustus, if you don't want to die here, please leave with us."

Karan resisted the urge to draw his gun and persuaded the governor to follow the Terminators to evacuate this dangerous place.

however.

"You are wrong. This is where I will be buried..."

Augustus firmly refused:

"I want to stay here and perish with my planet... You know, the curse... I don't want to run away anymore. Perhaps it's best for everything to end here."

Karan had no interest in listening to the madman's chatter, so he stepped forward and tried to take the guy away by force.

But the next second.

But he stopped.

Because Augustus gently lifted the blanket, and underneath was a hot melt bomb.

"Your Excellency the Governor, perhaps we can talk more..."

Karan didn't move at all. He took a deep breath and said.

If it was because of me that the melta bomb destroyed the last bloodline of Flax.

Then he will be a sinner that the Blood of Sanguinius can never forgive!
Augustus looked at everyone and said slowly:
"You can listen to my story about the Hades Worm, and maybe you'll understand how bad things were when I was a kid..."

The old man told everyone a story:
When the governor was still a child, he was the eldest son and the only heir to the family.

however.

When his parents returned from an interstellar trade meeting.

Everything has changed.

His mother gave birth to his younger brother, and his father announced that his younger brother would become the heir to the family in his place.

His brother is a strange mutant with a bump on his forehead, extra limbs and sharp claws.

But everyone in the family turned a blind eye to it.

They all asked him to take on the responsibilities of an older brother and take good care of his lovely younger brother.

He didn't dare reveal any abnormality and lived under the shadow of his clingy monster brother, playing a pitiful role.

after that.

Things are becoming increasingly weird and dangerous.

My parents invited many guests to visit my brother, but those people never showed up again.

Augustus was terrified.

I was afraid that I would disappear silently like those guests.

He couldn't stand it any longer and decided to take back everything that belonged to him.

The eldest son secretly won over and gained the support of the nobles, and when the time was right, he launched a rebellion against his parents.

During that civil war, Augustus killed his corrupted parents.

To Augustus' horror, the monster brother escaped and hid deep within the hive.

After he became governor, he never gave up hunting down the monster.

But never succeeded.

Gradually.

More and more people are missing in the lower levels of the hive, and a story about a "worm from the underworld" begins to circulate.

It was a story of revenge, foreshadowing the governor's inevitable death at the hands of insects.

obviously.

The monster brother's power is growing, and he wants to take revenge on his enemy who killed his parents.

Augustus was almost overcome by fear.

He no longer cared about government affairs, but instead built large-scale fortresses, recruited more private soldiers, and even sheltered illegal psychics.

The governor devoted almost all his energy to protecting his own safety.

however.

He failed.

The fortress he had built with so much effort was vulnerable.

because.

That monster brother summoned an unstoppable swarm of terrifying insects.

The arrival of Hive Fleet Leviathan completely destroyed his hopes.

Augustus realized.

There was nothing he could do to stop this revenge.

The moment he killed his parents with his own hands, he was cursed.

No matter where I hide, as long as I am alive, my brother will keep hunting me and summon the swarm of insects.

Only his death as the last blood of the Flax family can end this sad fate.

"Now you know, I can't escape, I have to put an end to him and me!"

Augustus raised his hands and shouted wildly, the fear he had always felt overwhelmed him.

It almost made him lose his mind.

Karaan became increasingly uneasy.

According to the story told by the Governor, his brother was apparently the source of the Zerg infection, a Genestealer chieftain.

And after the Tyranid swarm arrived.

It is very likely that he has completed a higher evolution and become a nest master.

The weird thing is.

That being actually still retained the human consciousness of revenge and was not completely assimilated by the will of Terran!
This is an extremely dangerous thing.

That means that the other party is not only smart and cold-blooded, but also able to summon more insect swarms.

Even more troublesome is that.

His target, like himself, was the governor, which created unimaginable obstacles to the mission.

For a while.

The situation was frozen.

Karan found that he seemed to be unable to do anything, unable to stop the explosion of the hot melt bombs, nor could he resist the impending attack.

The captain thought for a moment, then told the governor the purpose of the Blood Angels' visit.

Pray that the other party can give you some blood sample.

Karaan handed the collection container to the guard and asked him to pass it on to the governor.

If we could get a blood sample from the Flax bloodline, at least the situation wouldn't become irreversible.

Augustus got the collection container, but had no intention of collecting the samples.

"he came."

Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and looked relieved:

"My dear brother is here. I can feel his gaze. He has been staring at me..."

The old man called out:

"Come on brother, let's end this!"

Karan was instantly alert.

But the next second.

The dome's solar lamp suddenly went out; something had cut off the power supply.

no doubt.

The worm from the underworld has come for revenge!
Bang bang bang!
The Terminators fired a few flares to maintain the dim light source.

Boom——

The barrier in front of the garden was broken.

The surging Tyranid creatures rushed over with screams.

In the midst of insect swarms.

Five figures wearing chitinous shells and biological armor appeared in front of people, each of them was taller than the Terminator!
These Tyranid warrior worms are large in shape, like creatures that have been twisted and stretched in humans' nightmares.

It exudes a strong deterrent force.

however.

These evil beasts are just guards.

A huge shadow stepped in.

It was a nest-master.

This Broodmaster evolved from a giant Genestealer Chieftain and was larger than any Broodmaster Karan had ever seen.

It is more than twice the size of the guarding Tyranid warrior bugs, and its claws are so sharp that even the Tyranid behemoths are inferior to it.

however.

When the nest master arrived, he did not attack immediately.

Instead, he walked towards the nearest wall, which had a mural showing a picture of the former governor and his wife, as well as Augustus.

He stretched out his claws and touched the faces of the couple on the mural.

The nest master once remembered the names corresponding to these faces, as well as the love they showed. That was the beauty he recalled and savored over and over again.

But now.

It's almost impossible to remember.

The shadow of Leviathan grew heavier, gradually eliminating useless information about the hive's will from its mind.

soon.

It will become part of the hive, and its consciousness will become simple and peaceful, without any pain or hatred.

There is only eternal peace.

The nest owner touched it carefully, trying to remember the names of the parents so that it would know that it still existed.

pity.

Its sharp claws easily cut through the wall, destroying the remaining murals.

The monster gained nothing and even forgot his own name.

The only thing it remembered was a face full of disgust and hatred - his brother.

My brother killed the person closest to him!
The Nest Master turned around and stared at Augustus in the pavilion with hatred.

That hateful brother betrayed him and the family!

It must kill the person in front of it before it is completely assimilated by the hive. That is its only...long-cherished wish!
Karan stopped in front of Augustus.

When he met the Nest Master's red eyes, he immediately felt the other's ugly thoughts.

It's invading my brain!
The company commander fought hard, using all his willpower and anti-psychic training to barely block the opponent's psychic attack.

He sadly discovered that he had difficulty dealing with this guy.

boom--

The battle is about to break out.

The nest master slapped Karan away, and he fell heavily in front of Augustus, raising his claws to swing down.

"Brother, I'm so sorry..."

Augustus' sudden voice caused the nest master to temporarily stop his actions.

It looked at the other's confession with a playful look.

The Blood Angels did not dare to make the slightest move, for fear of destroying the blood that represented hope.

"I regret my incompetence. I regret not killing you alien monsters earlier, which led to the disastrous consequences..."

Augustus provoked the nest master unscrupulously.

He showed a triumphant smile:

"I won't give you a chance for revenge, because I did nothing wrong. You all deserve to die, die, monster!"

Roar--

The Nest Master raised his claws again in anger, but it was too late, the melta bomb exploded completely.

In the eyes of everyone.

The governor calmly committed suicide and turned into ashes under the high temperature of the melt.

The nest master let out a shrill scream.

The sharp claws it swung down were also burned by the high temperature of the melt and turned into charcoal before falling down.

"Do not!!!"

At that moment, Karan's head buzzed and he felt extremely regretful and self-blame.

The bloodline of Flax is gone.

He let down Lord Dante and failed to complete his mission. He is a sinner who will never be forgiven by the Blood of Sanguinius!
jingle——

In chaos.

The sound of metal falling to the ground instantly caught Karan's attention. He could tell at a glance that it was a collection container filled with blood.

Before his death, the old governor left a precious blood sample for the Blood Angels!
Bang!
The tail flame burst out.

Karan activated his jump pack and lunged toward the collection container.

at the same time.

The nest master's red eyes also noticed his brother's relics, and he let out a roar.

The Tyranid Warrior Bug nearby received the order and immediately raised its legs and stepped hard towards the collection container, trying to destroy the blood sample.

However, it failed to succeed.

Instead, he stepped heavily on Karan, and the company commander used his body to protect the blood sample.

Karan spat out a mouthful of blood and rolled on the ground to avoid the subsequent slashing blows. Several other Blood Angel Terminators also caught up.

Gather your forces to resist Tyranid's attack.

however.

Soon a veteran Terminator fell.

Karaan placed the blood sample into the container behind him.

He raised his head.

But I saw a despairing scene.

The Brood Master tears apart another Terminator veteran.

It was leading the surging Tyranid creatures and was heading towards this side.

He and his soldiers had been forced into a corner and were surrounded.

There is no way they can escape from the siege of the Nest Master and the Tyranid creatures!

Just when Karan and others were preparing to fight to the death.

Boom——

The barrier reinforced with adamantium not far from them was breached.

A massive Assault Centurion piloted by a Blood Angel charged in, carving a bloody path through the Tyranid swarm.

The breach.

A familiar voice came.

"Captain, we and our brothers are here to rescue you!"

Fesser drove the Destroyer Centurion Armor and stood in front of the Blood Angels.

next moment.

A devastating array of explosive arrows swept towards the swarm of insects, and there was a sound of wailing.

however.

These attacks were powerless against the nest master who was protected by the psychic barrier.

It blocks all the shrapnel.

The Broodmaster roared and called in more of the swarm, and the Tyranid creatures almost filled the vast garden.

Karaan didn't know why Fesl had this armor.

But he knew very well how terrifying the nest master was, so he quickly took out the blood sample and said, "Feisel, don't worry about us, just run away with the blood sample!"

The Nest Master plays with the corpses of the Terminator veterans.

It stared at Feisel and the others with cold eyes, and used its psychic power to send a message:

"You...cannot resist the will of the hive!"

boom--

As soon as it finished speaking, it was hit by a gun.

"Which bug is so crazy?"

A more arrogant electronic sound came from the barrel.

Then, the powerful electronic sacred music of the Savior sounded, filling the entire garden space.

Under the cover of artillery fire.

One Destroyer Centurion after another stepped in.

When the smoke clears.

"How can it be?!"

Karan watched in disbelief as more than twenty Destroyer Centurions stood in front of the Blood of Sanguinius, forming an insurmountable wall of steel!
This wall of steel kept out all the previous despair of the Blood Angels.

"Brothers, the time to hunt has come!"

Barrel took the lead and moved forward with the Destroyer Centurions towards the Tyranid swarm.

Those Tyranid creatures felt a huge threat and retreated unconsciously, with a hint of fear in their pupils.

However, it's too late.

The Destroyer Centurion Squad poured an irresistible wall of destructive firepower onto the Tyranid swarm, madly reaping the lives of these insects!
Roar--

The Nest Master's psychic barrier blocked some of the fire and rushed towards the barrel.

This equally tall monster used its claws to cut off the weapons on the Destroyer's armor, and then tore through the cockpit with its psychic power.

The nest master stared coldly at the figure of the barrel, and was about to launch a fatal attack.

Bang!
An equally powerful spiritual energy surged up.

That is the psychic talent - Breath of Flame.

A raging flame rose from the barrel.

He suddenly jumped out of the cockpit and transformed into a round man of fire.

midair.

"Your big barrel grandpa is here!"

The power claws wrapped with electric arcs on the barrel arm armor suddenly popped out and pounced towards the nest master!

……

hum-

The power field flashed, and the ugly head of the Tyranid creature fell to the ground.

Phew.

The ceramic steel boots crushed it, causing pus and blood to splatter.

After Carter crushed the Tyranid warrior's head, he bloodily killed two warrior bugs that pounced on him.

not far away.

Huge capillary spires spread out into the deep space, wriggling constantly.

The sky was already impenetrable with clouds, and huge rib-like tendrils hung down from each cloud bank, swaying gently.

The roar of artillery fire and the roar of Tyranid creatures could be heard everywhere.

On the ground covered with chitinous fungal carpet, the remains of Tyranid creatures were scattered everywhere.

The Tyranid gargoyles were hit by the explosive bombs and fell down wailing.

Carter led the Thunder Guards, organized defenses around them, and continuously killed the Tyranid creatures that tried to attack.

hiss~
Center of the front.

Ron fiddled with the data pad in his hand, a little confused: "What is that guy in the barrel doing? Why isn't he answering my call?"

Map data showed that the barrel was tens of kilometers away from him.

It looks like we'll have to meet later.

soon.

New information came from the reconnaissance equipment.

His target of this trip - Dante, is about ten kilometers away from him, and he will be able to find him soon.

"We've found the target, let's go!"

Ron sent the map data to Carter and others, and led the team in the direction of Dante.

however.

As soon as they set off, they were blocked by the Tyranid creatures again.

boom--

Debris flew.

Several sand pythons rushed out of the ground, followed by a black swarm of insects.

Carter was about to step forward.

"Let me do it..."

Ron took the first step and raised his hand to create a psychic barrier to block the insects' acid bombs.

After his physique was upgraded to that of the original body, his psychic power increased further.

Although not as strong as a pony, it is powerful enough among the primarchs.

And psychic attacks are the right weapon for quickly clearing out large numbers of light units!
yah~
Ron floated into the air, his pupils turned bright white, and thick blue arcs of electricity wrapped around his dark gold armor.

He clenched his fist slightly to gather the psychic lightning, then pushed it out violently: "Unstoppable!"

A psychic lightning bolt dozens of meters long blasted out, cutting through the ground and sweeping towards the insect swarm. A large number of Tyranid creatures were turned into charred corpses under the cutting of the psychic energy.

suddenly.

Ron paused slightly in mid-air, and instinctively felt a tingling pain in his head, which was caused by the huge gathering of spiritual energy.

He looked up at the place where spiritual energy was gathering in front of him.

It was discovered that the location matched the area where Dante was located.

Even more troublesome is that.

This terrifying psychic reaction came from the Tyranid creature, and its power far exceeded any research records.

Ron frowned: "That's a big and tough guy!"

at the same time,

Helios Harbor Defense Line.

It was a sea of ​​shattered Tyranid corpses, stretching for kilometers in all directions.

Mixed in with them were the remains of corpses wearing crimson or gold armor.

Dante was leaning on the Immortal Axe with a slightly blue blade, breathing slightly.

His old face looked at all this tiredly.

Whenever he saw such a death scene, he could feel the heavy burden he had been carrying for more than a dozen centuries.

And those painful memories.

Fortunately.

The Blood Angels repelled the Tyranid swarm's attack.

Now they had the time and space to deploy heavy equipment and evacuate the suffering citizens of the Empire.

"Let the priests bless the blood of the noble Sanguinius..."

Dante sighed slightly.

soon.

The Holy Blood Priests then searched through the sea of ​​corpses to retrieve the remains of the Holy Blood Angels.

Blessings to these heroes.

however.

Before the new line of defense was set up, bad news arrived.

Chief Think Tank Mephiston came to tell Dante that a strange psychic reaction was approaching the southern defense line.

"All think tanks follow me to defend the South Gate!"

Dante had absolute trust in the Chief Think Tank and felt the urgency of the situation.

He suppressed the blood thirst that came again, dragged his tired body, and led the Blood Angels towards the south gate.

South Gate Defense Line.

The well-disciplined Cadian Blitzkrieg suddenly jumped out of the line and retreated screaming.

Many of them took off their helmets and covered their heads in pain.

Blood flowed from their ears, noses and eyes.

A huge snake-like spirit-brain beast appeared in the ruins, floating in the air with its long tail, and its huge head looked particularly strange.

It was a Tyranid monster the warriors had never seen before.

Following the spirit-brain beast was a group of floating brain worms.

They were also a new type of Tyranid creature, with gigantic bodies, aimless brains, and wielding sharp tentacles.

Even more frightening.

These brain worms possess strange psychic powers. Wherever their tentacles point, the warriors' brains and hearts can't help but feel pain.

Even to the point of madness.

The Brain Beast raised a thick psychic shield, deflecting all laser beams and armor-piercing missiles to the side.

It led the brain worms and slowly floated towards the south gate line, with more Tyranid swarms behind them.

what! ! !
As these psychic creatures approached, many warriors knelt on the ground, holding their heads and shouting.

Their vision turned gray, their minds were filled with trillions of screams, and the blood flow in their brains was congested, creating more pain.

Phew——

Many heads exploded into red blood mist.

"Are these the new weapons of Tyranids?"

When Dante arrived, he witnessed a scene that was even beyond his previous experience.

He had never seen a psychic creature of this type.

The Blood Angels launched an attack on the Tyranid psychic creatures, using bolt shells and energy rays.

Only a ripple was left on the psychic shield.

"The leading Tyranid creature is the key..." Dante said slowly, looking at the spiritual brain beast.

Mephiston used his psychic powers to sense:

"Yes, only if we can get rid of it can we break up the formation of those psychic creatures."

He warned: "My lord, your body may not be able to withstand its high-pressure spiritual energy impact."

The Chief Librarian clearly understood the Chapter Master's thoughts.

A smile appeared on Dante's old face: "Meston, you will protect me, right?"

He has decided to decapitate the psychic monster himself.

This Chapter is leading the Librarians towards the line of Tyranid psychic creatures.

The Blood Angels warriors poured out as much firepower as possible to attract the attention of the psychic creatures.

Hidden ruins back.

After Mephiston and the Librarians organized the psychic array, Dante suddenly ignited the jump pack.

Rushing towards the psychic beast at an extremely fast speed.

In an instant.

He was attacked by psychic tentacles.

Those terrible attacks are difficult to resist even for a genetically enhanced body.

however.

Dante withstood the first wave.

Even though his bones had begun to crack slightly, he still persisted.

Mephiston seized the opportunity and, with the psychic amplitude provided by the think tanks, released a psychic shock to the psychic beast.

Forcing those Tyranid psychic creatures to focus their attention on themselves.

The huge psychic pressure soon came.

Meston is one of the rare and powerful psykers in the Empire.

But such high psychic pressure was beyond the imagination of the think tanks, and his body began to become unstable in mid-air.

even so.

The chief think tank still used psychic power to kill several brain worms.

soon.

Mephiston's psychic energy was over-consumed, and his will was impacted by a stronger, alien will.

His psychic barrier was breached, his vision went dark, and he collapsed under the terrible force.

This chief think tank has done his best.

"what!"

Dante seized the opportunity and jumped up with the Axe of Immortality.

Chop towards the spirit-brain beast.

but.

The Mind-Brain's attention returned even more quickly, and its psychic tentacles once again wrapped around the old warrior.

Dante struggled hard.

His bones were cracking and his cries echoed across the battlefield.

The Blood Angels tried their best to attack the line of psychic creatures, but they were powerless and the psychic shield did not move at all.

They watched in despair as their Chapter Master suffered.

next moment.

A huge amount of spiritual energy is coming.

In the eyes of the Blood Angels.

A tall figure stood in front of Dante, bearing the high pressure of psychic energy for him...

(End of this chapter)
