Chapter 312 Gods?
The sky above Baal was obscured by spore clouds from the Tyranids, and the earth trembled under the trampling of the swarms. Dante, Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, stood at the forefront of the battlefield, his power armor covered in Tyranid acid and claw marks, his power axe "Mourning" still gleaming with unwavering light. His voice, transmitted through the communicator, echoed across the entire battlefield: "For Saint Gilles! For the Emperor! Hold the line! Never retreat!"
However, the number of Zerg was simply too great, and the Blood Angels and their subordinate warriors were already locked in a fierce battle. Just as the battle reached its most critical moment, a piercing whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.
One after another, blue space capsules plummeted from the sky like meteorites, crashing directly into the swarm of insects. The moment the hatches opened, Russell burst forth like lightning, golden arcs of electricity swirling around him, like a god descended to earth. Close behind was the psionic Arya, her psionic shield shimmering with a pale blue light on the battlefield, providing Russell with unwavering protection. Cato Sicarius wielded a power sword, the Ultramariner insignia on his power armor gleaming brightly in the flames of war.
"Boom!" Russell waved his hand, and a bolt of golden lightning shot out from his palm, instantly blasting a clearing in the swarm of insects. Countless blade insects and hive guards turned to ashes in the golden lightning, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
Arya stood beside Russell, waving her hands to create a psionic barrier that blocked the acid and bone spikes fired by the Zerg. Her voice was calm and firm: "Russell, watch out on the left! Zerg warriors are closing in!"
Cato Sicarius, wielding his power sword, charged into the swarm, his blade felling the Zerg corpses in his wake. His voice came through the communicator: "Russo, Arya, stop showing off! We need to destroy the Zerg's mainframe as quickly as possible!"
Russell smiled slightly, and the golden lightning in his hand erupted once more, blasting a swarm of Zerg that tried to approach into pieces: "Kato, you're still so impatient. Arya, help me clear the Zerg swarm on the right, I'll clear the way!"
Arya nodded, conjuring a powerful psionic storm in her hands that engulfed the Zerg on her right, tearing it to shreds. Her psionic shield remained around Russell and Cato, protecting them from the Zerg's attacks.
Dante, seeing Russell and his group, flashed a look of surprise and relief: "Cato? What are you doing here? Who is that mortal?"
Russell had no time to explain. Golden psionic energy once more coalesced in his hands, arcs of electricity leaping from his fingertips. With a sudden swing, golden lightning rained down like a storm, wiping out the Zerg vanguard in an instant.
“No weapons are needed to clear out these hive minions,” Russell murmured, golden lightning shooting from his palms, each strike hitting the Zerg's vitals with pinpoint accuracy. The Bladebugs and hive guards were utterly helpless against his psionic power, falling in droves.
Cato rushed to Dante's side, slaying a Zerg warrior who attempted to ambush him with his power sword: "Lord Dante, this is not the time for pleasantries. We must destroy the Zerg's mainframe as soon as possible!"
Dante nodded, a resolute glint in his eyes: "You're right. I will lead the warriors of the Holy Blood Angels to pave the way for you."
Russell didn't hesitate and immediately replied, "Understood. Arya, Cato, let's go!"
Arya's psionic shield remained constantly around the three, and her psionic storm raged through the swarm, clearing a path for Russell and Cato. Cato, wielding his power sword, engaged in close combat with the Zerg warriors, and wherever his blade passed, Zerg corpses fell.
The battle intensified once again. Russell's golden psionic energy raged through the swarm of insects like a destructive storm. His figure was like a golden lightning bolt, and wherever he went, the insectoids fled in disarray.
However, the Zerg's mastermind seemed to sense the threat and began mobilizing more forces towards Russell and his group. Dante brandished his power sword and shouted the order: "For Sanguis! For the Emperor! Charge!"
The warriors of the Holy Blood Angels clashed fiercely with the black ocean of the Zerg, like a crimson tide. Russell, on the other hand, was like a golden sword, piercing straight into the heart of the Zerg.
Russell's golden psionic energy blazed across the battlefield like a dazzling bolt of lightning, each strike shattering the Zerg vanguard. His performance not only boosted the morale of the Blood Angels and Ultramarines but also attracted the attention of the Hive Will in orbit.
…………
The Hive's will, like a vast network, covered the entire battlefield. It swiftly analyzed Russell's threat and reacted immediately. More than a dozen Tyrannical warriors emerged from the swarm, their bodies larger than ordinary Zerg, their carapaces covered in sharp bone spikes and corrosive slime. Their eyes gleamed with cold killing intent, their target clear—to kill Russell.
Russell felt the oppressive aura emanating from the Tyrannical warriors, and he immediately realized that these enemies were no ordinary foe. Not daring to be careless, he quickly removed the Bloodthirsty entrenching tool from his back; golden psionic energy instantly enveloped the blade, causing it to radiate a dazzling light.
"Arya, Cato, be careful! These guys are tough to deal with!" Russell whispered a warning, his eyes fixed on the approaching Tyrannical warriors.
Arya nodded, her hands quickly forming hand seals, and a psionic shield formed a sturdy barrier around Russell. Cato, gripping his power sword, stood on Russell's other side, sneering, "Looks like the Zerg have finally sent a worthy opponent. Russell, let's see who kills more?"
Russell did not respond; his attention was entirely focused on the Tyranid warriors. The massive Zerg warriors swarmed forward, their sharp bone blades and corrosive acid attacking Russell simultaneously.
"Boom!" Russell leaped into the air, his Bloodthirsty entrenching tool crackling with golden lightning as it slashed at the foremost Tyrannosaurus. The blade collided with the Zerg's carapace, unleashing blinding sparks. The Tyrannosaurus's carapace cracked under the impact of the golden psionic energy, but it did not fall; instead, it swung its bone blade in retaliation.
Russell swiftly dodged to the side, then swung his shovel at the Tyranid warrior's joints. Golden psionic energy severed the insectoid's limbs like a sharp blade, and the Tyranid warrior let out a painful roar before his massive body crashed to the ground.
However, the other Tyrannical warriors were closing in. Russell darted through the swarm, each swing of his Bloodsucker shovel carrying devastating power. His golden psionic energy not only enhanced the weapon's power but also maximized his speed and reflexes.
A Tyranid warrior lunged from the side, but Russell swiftly turned, unleashing a sweeping attack with his Bloodthirster shovel, golden lightning tearing through the Zerg's carapace. Another Tyranid warrior attempted a sneak attack from behind, but Arya's psionic shield deployed in time, blocking the Zerg's attack.
"Russell, watch out!" Arya's voice rang out as her psionic storm engulfed a Tyrannosaurus warrior who was trying to approach, tearing it to shreds.
Cato engaged in fierce close combat with two Tyrannical warriors. His power sword cleaved through the Zerg's carapace, splattering acid everywhere. His voice came through the communicator: "Russell, these guys' carapaces are harder than we thought! Don't let your guard down!"
Russell did not respond; his attention was entirely focused on the enemy before him. His Bloodthirster entrenching tool was like a golden lightning bolt, each swing striking the Tyrannical warrior's vitals with pinpoint accuracy. His movements were fluid and swift, like a war god dancing on the battlefield.
The battle reached its climax. Russell's golden psionic energy ravaged the battlefield, and the number of Tyranid warriors dwindled. However, the Hive Will did not give up, and more Zerg warriors were surging towards Russell.
"Russell, we need to deal with these guys as soon as possible!" Cato's voice carried a hint of anxiety.
Russell nodded, took a deep breath, and his golden psionic energy erupted once more. His Blood-Drinker entrenching tool slammed down, and a massive bolt of golden lightning descended from the sky, completely destroying the last few Tyrannical warriors.
The battlefield was silent, with mountains of Zerg corpses piled up. Russell stood in the center of the battlefield, the golden psionic energy on his Bloodthirster shovel gradually dissipating. His breathing was somewhat rapid, but his gaze remained resolute.
Arya walked to Russell's side, the psionic shield still protecting the two of them: "Russell, are you alright?"
Russell nodded, a slight smile appearing on his face. "I'm fine. But this is just the beginning; the will of the hive won't give up easily."
Cato walked to Russell's other side, the Zerg blood still fresh on his power sword: "Russell, your performance was truly remarkable. However, we now face an even greater challenge."
