Chapter 864: Star System-like Insect Swarm
"We can't hold on any longer. Area 56 and Area A78 can't hold on any longer. These damned creatures have learned how to fight by decapitation. Damn it, now we're in a total decapitation game with these guys!!"

On a world in the Solar Star Region, a traverser looked at the swarm of insects swarming in front of him. He held a power sword in one hand and a bolter in the other, and kept attacking the swarm of insects rushing towards him. He chopped off the head of an insect with a swing of the power sword, and then followed up with a shot from the bolter to smash another insect that wanted to pounce on him into pieces. He was like a god of war on this battlefield. Facing the endless sea of ​​insects, he kept chopping those insects into pieces like a god of war. But in fact, he knew that he could not hold on for long. His comrades were all dead, and it would take some time to wait for resurrection. Moreover, their company commander was also beheaded by Licart, and it would take some time for the remaining support to arrive. He was the only one left on the entire front line, and this front line could not be defended after all.

The traverser looked at the sea of ​​insects in front of him, and now even his hand holding the power sword began to tremble. A new Astartes' hand was shaking due to fatigue. This was such an outrageous thing, but the reality was like this. They were called the Angels of the Emperor and warriors beyond human. They even drank the blood of the Primarch, and their physical fitness was extraordinarily improved. However, this was of no use in front of the sea of ​​billions of insects. Sometimes quantity can really outweigh quality. When you face the sea of ​​billions of insects alone, you will realize how powerless that one person is.

The traverser raised his power sword. He looked at another Tyranid war beast that was rushing towards him. He was about to kill it with one sword, but at this moment, his chest was suddenly pierced by something. The attacker seemed to know their body structure very well. The two hearts in his chest were quickly crushed by that thing. Even the Belisarius Furnace could not allow him to continue fighting.

The time traveler felt a sharp pain in his chest. He turned his head with difficulty and looked behind him. He saw a Likart. This creature was standing behind him. He didn't know when it came. Its sharp claws pierced into his back and went straight through his body.

"You nnd, I..."

The time traveler looked at the Likart behind him. He just wanted to use up his last bit of strength to pull the ring of the hot-melt bomb on his body, but just when he was about to raise his hand to pull the ring, the Likart was faster than him. Almost instantly, the time traveler was torn to pieces by the Likart.

After tearing the traverser into pieces, the Licart quickly disappeared on the spot. After it disappeared, countless Tyranid war beasts rushed into the position. The number of these things was really endless. Even the mines that had been arranged in the position in advance could not stop them. The hot melt mines on the position were triggered one by one, but these things could only kill a small number of Tyranid war beasts. A steady stream of Tyranid war beasts still broke through the position and rushed towards the nest behind the position.

"The angels' positions have been captured, but this area is under saturation fire..."

And at the moment when the traversers' positions fell, on the wasteland outside the hive city in the rear, an artillery cluster composed of the mortal auxiliary army's artillery units immediately launched a saturation attack on that position. One heavy artillery after another on the ground roared like a beast, emitting the wrath of the God-Emperor towards those monsters who dared to invade the God-Emperor's world. One shell after another cut through the air and fell from the sky filled with various pollutants to the fallen positions on the ground.

Countless fireballs like the sun appeared above the position. They were the explosions of super-melta shells. Under this saturation attack, even tens of millions of insect swarms would be temporarily intercepted. The bombardment that could intercept the insect swarms gave the traversers time to provide support. With the continuous bombardment, the saturation artillery attack slowly turned into a slow-moving barrage. As the artillery attack turned into a slow-moving barrage, the traversers immediately rushed to the fallen position and took it back.

This situation has happened countless times in this world. Humans and Tyranids are constantly fighting for positions. Whenever the Tyranids break through the human positions, they are followed by a frenzied artillery attack from humans, and then humans take back the positions. In this world, this situation has almost become the norm. Ever since the Tyranid fleet launched countless Tyranid tactics into this world, there has been no place in this world without war.

This situation is also attributed to Wang Ming's bait plan. It can be said that his plan was very successful. He moved the psychic amplifier on the Light of Humanity to this world. On this world, he used his own psychic power to ignite a psychic lighthouse. This lighthouse quickly attracted the attention of the Zerg biological fleet. After all, for the will of the Zerg, it is very easy to calculate which is more cost-effective, a very close psychic lighthouse or a very distant psychic lighthouse.

As for why Wang Ming did not set the bait plan on a desolate planet, but on a hive world, the reason is very simple. After all, the Zerg fleet is too close to this world and they have entered the range of this galaxy. It is impossible to lead them away directly with a psychic lighthouse. The Zerg will not give up the meat that is already in their mouths, so Wang Ming directly set the bait plan on this world and evacuated all humans on this world. At present, the population of all the hives in this world are basically all mortal auxiliary troops. Except for some local planetary defense forces that stay to assist in combat, there are basically no civilians in this world.

And because the fleet is currently in the void of this galaxy, fighting a desperate battle with the huge Zerg fleet, Wang Ming also launched hundreds of orbital attack satellites into the orbit of this world. It can be said that this world has completely become a literal fortress world. In the wastelands far away from the hive city, those orbital attack satellites continue to carry out orbital strikes on hundreds of millions of Zerg swarms, while outside the hive city, countless troops are fighting with the Zerg swarms above this world. The troops of the time travelers, the troops of the mortal auxiliary army, and even the combat iron men were all brought out. In addition, there were various mass-produced chimeras made by Clayrose through gene editing. These things were cultivated according to the Catachan demons on Catachan as the basic genetic template, and a large number of characteristics of dangerous creatures from various death worlds of the former human federation were added to them. In order to prevent these biological weapons from providing biomass for the Tyranids, Wang Ming also took great effort to get several living Catachan giant toads from Catachan. In order to ensure that these things would not cause any major problems in the biological laboratory, Wang Ming almost accompanied Clayrose throughout the entire process of studying these creatures, and used psychic energy to suppress the consciousness of those creatures anytime and anywhere.

And all the efforts of Wang Ming and Clairose were not in vain. Whenever the Chimeras edited by Clairose's genes died, they would immediately explode like Catachan's giant toads. The range of the explosion was simply outrageous, just like an atomic bomb explosion. However, compared with the real Catachan giant toad, this thing was still less powerful. After all, this thing was actually just an imitation of the Catachan giant toad. Maybe the real Catachan giant toad was less powerful, but it was enough to be useful.

These Chimeras on the battlefield are completely biological weapons that can fight against the Tyranid war beasts. These things have no self-awareness like the Tyranid war beasts, and in order to make them more skilled in fighting, Clayrose has even stripped away their biological instincts. These things are not afraid of life or death, nor are they afraid of pain. They can kill on the battlefield the moment they walk out of the biological culture chamber, and when they die, their deaths will take away a large number of enemies. These things are simply the most suitable biological weapons for this battlefield, but the manufacture of these things is also very resource-consuming.

Every time one of these things is made, a large amount of biomass is consumed. After all, matter cannot be created out of thin air like psychic power. Even a federal biological scientist like Clayrose cannot do such a thing of distorting the laws of physics. The resources required to make each chimera are enormous, but Wang Ming can fully afford these resources. If Clayrose's biological culture chamber were not powerful enough, Wang Ming would even want to let this war be fought with this biological weapon.

However, all of this only works in the early stages of the battle. The Hive Mind will also change its tactics. It is not a stupid beast, but a shrewd hunter. It is very smart. After the battle has been going on for a while, those Chimeras will hardly play any role on the battlefield, because the Tyranids have developed a very effective tactic against those Chimeras. It is a kind of Tyranid creature that has never been seen before. The only purpose of these things appearing on the battlefield is to target those Chimeras that appear on the battlefield.

These things would use their swarm-like numbers to pile up the Chimeras to death, and then before the Chimera exploded, they would inject a special toxin into the Chimera's body, quickly dissolving the Chimera's body. The whole process took less than a few seconds, and that made the Chimeras on the battlefield meaningless. And because of this situation, a new group of Tyranid war beasts appeared on the battlefield. These Tyranid war beasts were originally targeting Chimeras, but now they have been edited to be able to easily kill a New Astartes. As long as the toxins of those ghost things enter the body, a traverser will be quickly dissolved by the toxins into a pool of rotten meat in the power armor in an instant.

"We can no longer use biological weapons. It is very likely that more new types of Tyranids will appear again. We can only use the existing weapons to deal with those Tyranid swarms."

In the general command headquarters of this world, Wang Ming looked at the positions on the holographic projection map in front of him that were constantly lost and recaptured. He stared at the positions on the holographic projection screen. He hated those bugs now, but he couldn't use his spiritual power to kill those bugs directly. There are currently a large number of mortal troops fighting in this world. At the same time, he must ensure the integrity of this world. At present, his fleet in the void is fighting with the huge Tyranid fleet that has never appeared before. The number of that Tyranid fleet is really too large. Various biological warships almost fill the entire galaxy. Even when the federal fleet deals with this level of threat, it will take some time to defeat them. Moreover, those things are still evolving, and the weapons configuration against the fleet is evolving.

Wang Ming now really wanted to know how that big piece of meat could make a laser. What the hell was a biological laser? The power of those ghost things was almost comparable to the power of the light spears currently used by the Empire. How did an organism evolve such an outrageous thing? Where did the energy of the laser come from? And how did the Tyranids achieve the energy focusing of these things?

Wang Ming now really wants to use his own strength to tear the entire Tyranid fleet into pieces, but he can't do it. Now, they already know that there is more than one tendril of the Tyranid Zerg invading the Solar Star Region. Behind this huge tendril, there are countless other even larger tendrils. Through the large-scale astronomical observation equipment set up in this galaxy, Wang Ming already knows that there are more Tyranid tendrils behind this tendril. A Tyranid fleet left a lot of biomass along the way when it moved forward, which was obviously left for the Tyranid fleet behind. Through the large-scale astronomical observation equipment, Wang Ming and his team did discover the subsequent Tyranid fleets. The number was so large that it looked like several star systems were moving.

These things must not be allowed to continue moving towards Holy Terra. This world must complete its work as bait and attract all the Tyranid fleets into this galaxy. Then Wang Ming can use his power to try to destroy those Tyranid fleets. But before that, they must continue to persist in this world until all the Tyranid fleets arrive in this galaxy.

"These damn things seem to be really going to devour the Milky Way..."

Wang Ming looked at the sky outside the headquarters, which was polluted by the Tyranids and turned yellow. He sighed helplessly. Now, the massive invasion of the Tyranids seemed to be the end of all living beings in the galaxy...
