Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"That's not the point," O'Neill said. "Slaanesh seeks endless pleasure and excitement. This kind of sensory manipulation is within his capabilities, just like preventing the same stimulation from being used or experienced repeatedly."

"But what he did to achieve this was not just that simple, he must have made other adjustments."

"Well... if you put it that way... wouldn't it be similar to weight training?" Zhang Yi pondered for a while and said to O'Neill. "After a person has been carrying weights for a long time, he will feel very relaxed for a period of time after taking off the weights."

"You mean, he's online by himself and... not good!"

During the time when Zhang Yi and O'Neill were understanding the situation, the Eldar God of Death Iniad slashed at the demon primarch that was hosting the incarnation of Slaanesh in front of him without any mercy.

Logically speaking, after traveling such a long distance and being exhausted, he should not be able to fight easily, but the result was that he beat the opponent without any chance to fight back.

This was very wrong, but because of Iniered's hatred for the god of Slaanesh, he did not take it to heart and only wanted to tear the existence in front of him into pieces.

Just as he left a hideous wound on the demon Fulgrim with his sword and was about to chop off his head, something strange happened.

bite--!

There was a moment of darkness, followed by the sound of a sword swinging and a weapon being held up. When Inieed came to his senses, he saw the demon Fulgrim with only one arm left. The scimitar on that arm had cut into his left shoulder, almost splitting him in two.

"You idiot, don't you feel anything wrong?!" The mark of Tzeentch shone brightly, and Zhang Yi tried to control the demon Fulgrim to swing his scimitar, preventing him from cutting off the body of the Eldar that Inijed possessed. "Don't move."

Just like what was said before, if a person wears weights for a long time and suddenly takes them off one day, he will feel his body is very relaxed. So what will happen to a being like Slaanesh who relies on pleasure and stimulation to increase his strength, if after a long period of no desire and no feeling, he is suddenly released from the restrictions and receives a large amount of stimulation in a short period of time?

It is foreseeable that the Slaanesh believers or demons who do this will instantly increase their strength, and it will be explosive.

Having their senses blocked will inevitably cause tremendous suppression to Slaanesh believers or demons, and their power will be greatly reduced. But at the same time, the greater the suppression, the greater the power that will burst out after the restrictions are released!

"Oh~ Every nerve in my body is trembling!" The demon Fugen changed his previous cold expression and showed a crazy look on his face. "This is really, great!"

Bang—crack!

At this time, O'Neill punched the demon Fulgrim in the face again, and the sound of bones breaking was heard, but this blow was heavier than the previous one, and it did not knock him back. The demon Fulgrim assassin possessed by Slaanesh was still making a shrill laugh.

"Damn it!" O'Neill immediately realized what was going on. "The sense of pain has also become one of its sources of power!"

"You guessed right... Poof!"

At this moment, the demon Fugen, whose aura was constantly rising, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time cracks appeared on his body.

"Is the power too strong? It's really... disappointing." said the demon Fulgrim. "The injury is too severe. I haven't enjoyed it properly..."

O'Neill did not listen to the words of the demon Fugen. He directly grabbed the other's face, turned around, and smashed it to the ground.

"I will be back again..."

boom--!

O'Neill's additional heavy punch shut the demon Fulgrim's mouth completely, and his half-human, half-snake body began to dissipate.

On the other side, Inijed, the Eldar god of death, who was severely injured by the sudden outburst of the demon Fulgrim, was lying powerlessly on the ground.

"Old Bacon, can you heal him? Something's going to happen to him. The spirits are definitely causing trouble!"

"What do you think?"

"At least we can't let him die in our hands... I'll go get that thing."

“(Opening the door and entering, sounds of protest and quarreling were heard from inside) You bunch of motor oil men, it’s not like I won’t return it to you, just give it to you!”

"Come and help me lift it. I just realized why the Eldar are so tall."

451 There is something wrong with your place, I fixed it for you~

As the demon Fulgrim, who possessed a part of Slaanesh's power, was repelled, the other Slaanesh troops were suppressed once again and the battle situation was stabilized again.

The severely injured incarnation of the Eldar death god Iniaid was placed by Zhang Yi into the large [Current Status Preservation Box] purchased from the [City] before, and then sent to a research planet in Macragge to see if he could be studied as much as possible while ensuring that he would not die (O'Neill: Since it has come to this, it is okay to study him a little more, and then put the blame on Slaanesh).

At the same time, O'Neill also ordered to block the news. No matter whether the Slaanesh incarnation was repelled or the Eldar Death incarnation was severely damaged, all of it must be blocked from the outside. The attack on the remaining Slaanesh troops must continue, and the Eldar troops who followed the Death incarnation must be prevented from noticing any problems as much as possible.

The news of success here naturally also informed Guilliman and his men who were still entangled with the Zerg. He now needed to follow his plan and delay Evelyne and the others as reasonably as possible.

Following the orders of [Silent King] Shalet, the nearby Necron Dynasty came to the galaxy attacked by the Zerg to provide assistance to the human troops. On the other hand, reinforcements sent by humans also arrived nearby.

But there is bad news, because Zhang Yi's existence has been known to the hungry Zerg, there are already scattered traces of other Zerg fleets appearing around this galaxy.

As mentioned before, they may not know the specific meaning of Zhang Yi's existence, but they know that with him, they will have unlimited food for them to devour.

To this end, Guilliman must quickly deal with the hungry Zerg fleets that are attacking the Star Forge World, leaving the other Zerg fleets that are gathered because of them without guidance.

Once these swarms of insects gather together on a large scale, the impact will be absolutely huge, and it will not be easy to deal with them at that time.

With the assistance of the Necrons and a forge world to rely on, the Zerg's plan to break the deadlock by destroying the raw material collection sites with small forces has been thwarted.

After a brief thought, large numbers of scattered swarms began to gather. They began to try to establish spawning grounds in human territory in order to better harass the human empire and help the main fleet break through.

Guilliman and others also noticed this situation, and he began to mobilize troops to attack the gathering space insect swarms to prevent these insects from threatening their rear.

As long as these bugs can be dealt with, the attack of the hungry worms can be basically declared a failure, and they will most likely retreat - after all, they are just reckless, but not stupid.

This will surely be a brutal battle.

Gray Star Mine No. 3

This is the planet with the most mineral resources. Even though it has been mined continuously for nearly a hundred years, there are still a large number of undeveloped minerals on this planet. Billions of workers are mining minerals on this planet day and night.

Because of this, this place has become the target of the Tyranids. As long as they can capture this place, within a few months, the Tyranids will be able to produce a threatening swarm fleet in this star field.

But Guilliman had already anticipated this situation, and a team of Ultramarines had been deployed to the Grey Star No. 3 Mine in advance.

This troop was the team that Titus was in that was previously assigned to the medieval world.

. . . . . .

Through Zhang Yi's portal, Titus and others, as well as a small number of Lizardman troops who came to support, successfully arrived here before the Tyranid swarm troops arrived, and made some simple defensive arrangements.

This resulted in heavy losses when the Zerg landed here, and their landing location was limited to a relatively barren area.

This certainly significantly reduced the threat level of the Zerg, but not by much.

The Zerg still managed to obtain enough materials from several abandoned mines in the landing area, built a nest, and began to hatch troops on a large scale.

At the same time, the main force of the Zerg, which had been intercepted by the main fleet in this area of ​​the Empire, also released several Likarts to the planet to support the operation.

Not long after the Zerg landed, a large army spread out in the surroundings and devoured and destroyed all enemies along the way.

But their momentum of advancement did not last long, as a team composed of elite [Ultramarines] and Lizardman veterans suddenly broke into their hinterland with the support of artillery fire and rushed all the way to their core area.

On the other side, the large force that had advanced previously was also delayed by the Human Empire, which prevented them from returning to defend, and other troops rushing towards the planet were also blocked and intercepted.

The order and tactical actions of the Zerg depend entirely on individual node worms, from the highest hive will to the queen worm, swarm lord, brain worm, and warrior worm. These node worms provide support for commanding the swarm.

In other words, as long as these high-level Tyranids that command the swarm are killed, the entire swarm will fall into chaos and their danger will be greatly reduced.

This is also what the Human Empire often does. No matter whether facing Orks or Tyranids, as long as the leader is killed, victory will be achieved, so there is no problem in gaining a big advantage.

This was the idea that Titus and the others had in mind. The first batch of Zerg troops had been dispatched and were being held back by the Empire. Now was the moment when the defense of the hive that the Zerg had worked so hard to build was at its weakest.

This team will break into the core position of the Tyranid Zerg as quickly as possible, kill the high-level Zerg that control and manage the entire planet, and completely destroy the Zerg's plan.

Having said that, it will not be easy to complete this task. Even though the Tyranids have already sent out their large forces, there are still a large number of Tyranids in this occupied area.

A large number of knife bugs swarmed towards Titus's team, and the next moment a head-shaped flame swept past, leaving a field of black debris.

"Keep going!" Titus ordered. "The Skinks' spells won't last long. We must complete the mission as soon as possible!"

The three Space Marines quickened their pace, with two small Skink Priests lying on their backs and the tall Giant Lizards following closely behind.

The team moved forward quickly in the mountains with complex terrain. Gargoyles flew overhead from time to time, and the roar of artillery could be heard here.

After a rapid march, Titus's team has left the war zone and successfully reached the heart of the Tyranid-occupied area. Along the way, they can see some special landforms that have been changed by the Tyranid hive.

Before setting off, Titus and his team calculated the most likely location for the Tyranids to nest, which was the center of the abandoned mining area in the area. Considering transportation efficiency, the Tyranids were most likely to nest in that area.

The increasing number of insects and the ground covered with fungal blankets also confirmed the correctness of Titus and others' speculation that they were very close to their goal.

A small reconnaissance drone was released, and from high altitude it was already possible to see the horn-like substance sticking out of the ground.

Continuing to increase the altitude, we found that the hatchery covered with thick biomass shell was located on a flat land surrounded by high mountains. The surrounding ground was covered with thick fungal carpets and a large number of insect swarms.

From the landing of the Zerg to the establishment of the base, and then to the hatching of the army to launch an attack, the entire process was very hasty, which is one of the reasons why Titus and others were able to arrive here so smoothly.

At this moment, a biological bullet hit the aerial reconnaissance drone and shot it down, but it had completed its mission.

Based on the images transmitted by the drone, two Skink Priests began to guide a magic-wrapped meteorite towards the target location. At the same time, Titus and two other Space Marines climbed to a high place and set up heavy weapons.

Just as he expected, several brain worms with psychic interference abilities began trying to interfere with the release of spells. A large number of Zerg units with longer range also shot at the meteorites in the air, trying to destroy them. The psychic luster emitted by the brain worms when they were in action made them very conspicuous on the battlefield - this meant that they were glowing targets in the eyes of snipers.

Squeak--whoosh!

The firing of the heavy railgun brought up a string of blue electric light, which penetrated the psychic shield of the target mind worm and shattered it completely.

The giant lizard armed with a heavy grenade launches a devastating attack on any swarm of insects that wants to rush up. The multi-layered large energy shield he carries can't effectively resist the shooting of those small biological weapons.

When another Brainworm was killed and the meteorite on top of the hive became more and more obvious, two Tyrant Guards appeared and charged towards Titus and others who were on a high place.

This elite Zerg with powerful physical strength, which serves as the meat shield of the swarm commander, is like a chariot, rapidly approaching the giant lizard under the powerful firepower of heavy grenade launchers.

The specially made heavy explosive bullets kept hitting the leading Tyrant Guard. Large chunks of its biomass shell were shattered, and the giant beast finally fell on the road.

But the other giant beast took this opportunity, successfully came to the front of the giant lizard, and stabbed it with its sharp claws.

At this moment, another giant lizard appeared with a jet-powered hammer in hand and swung it vigorously at the attacking Tyrant Guard.

The extraordinary strength that had been debugged, the amplification provided by the power armor, and the huge force generated by the power hammer's jet directly knocked the attacking Tyrant Guard aside. Titus also jumped towards the Tyrant Guard with a special armor-piercing hammer in his hand.

Bang—crack!

The armor-piercing hammer shattered the thick armor of the Tyrant Guard, directly causing huge damage to its internal tissues. The giant lizard also seized the opportunity and swung a heavy hammer at its head.

With a huge crash and breaking sound, the second Tyrant Guard was also knocked to the ground, and at this moment the brain worms that tried to stop the magic meteorite from falling were also mostly cleared out.

The huge meteorite with magical light could no longer be stopped at this time, and fell from the sky towards the insect nest on the ground. Seeing this, Titus and others immediately walked down the hill and leaned against the hillside to avoid the impending shock wave.

boom--!

A blue mushroom cloud rose and the earth trembled, which meant that the Zerg's nest that had been built with great difficulty was destroyed, and it also meant that the Zerg and eggs gathered here were destroyed.

"I saw the Hive Lord!"

At this time, in the insect nest area that was previously bombarded by the magic meteorite, a giant insect with six arms and a conspicuous long horn crawled out from the smashed insect nest fragments and looked in the direction of Titus and others.

roar--!

452. It seems that a certain race has been forgotten~

As one of the few intelligent units in the Zerg with a certain degree of self-awareness and high intelligence, the Hive Lord understood very well that it was Titus and others who destroyed the hive and disrupted the Zerg's plans.

Even if he sent two Skink Priests who had exhausted their magic power together, Titus would only have five men, and this Hive Lord must get compensation for the current situation.

Unseen genetic sequences of species suspected to be the same genetically modified, new human weapons, as well as powerful humans and their memories. Although these things are insignificant compared to the plans of the hungry hive fleet and the destroyed hive, they are better than nothing.

roar--!

As the Hive Lord roared again, the surviving Zerg stopped and rushed towards Titus and others.

Looking at the swarm of insects attacking from all directions, it is definitely impossible to stop them with the twin heavy-bolting machine guns in the hands of a single giant lizard. Even with the current heavy weapons configuration, it is impossible to cope with such a large number of swarms of insects coming from all directions - the hive lord also knows this.

In response, the giant lizard holding the jet-powered hammer put the hammer in his hand behind his back, and then grabbed it. A thick ammunition belt and another double-linked heavy grenade launcher appeared out of thin air.

Thanks to the equipment support from the unknown [City] workshop, the [Stranger Excavation Company] has now reached long-term trading agreements with several workshops capable of producing large and small space storage equipment. This kind of space equipment capable of storing various weapons has appeared in a few chapters and Astra Militarum.

Although the space for these equipment is generally not large and only one or two heavy weapons can be loaded, even so, the situation of suddenly taking out a new big treasure is enough to surprise people.

The crossfire formed by the two twin-linked heavy bolter machine guns immediately suppressed the remaining Zerg swarms that attacked Titus and his men. The scene just now also made the Zerg Hive Lord a little confused - were all six of his eyes having problems at the same time? Why did the weapons in their hands change?

But even at this point, the Hive Lord did not retreat. After roaring again and again, he took a step forward and ran towards Titus and others.

"The heavy railgun still has two rounds of ammunition, aim at the Overlord!"

An Ultramarines veteran once again raised the heavy weapon, which was not small even for a Space Marine, and aimed it at the target rushing towards them.

Squeak--whoosh!

A cannonball with blue electric light was fired, instantly wiping out the swarm of insects in a straight line, but it failed to hit the hive lord.

Obviously, he had understood the danger of the weapon, so he kept moving at a high speed and mixed with a large number of other insects to disrupt the opponent's shooting vision.

Seeing this, Titus and another Ultramarines rushed towards the attacking swarm of insects, trying to clear a clear shooting line of sight, which would also attract a lot of enemy attention.

Titus, holding a chainsword, cut the knife worm that pounced on him in half, and fired continuously with the rapid-fire plasma gun in his other hand, melting a warrior worm on the other side.

Another [Ultramarines] Space Marine was holding a grenade launcher, clearing the swarm of insects in front of him.
