Warhammer 40: Doom

Chapter 157 Swift as Thunder (Thanks to Monkey Sai Lei for the reward!)
At the same time, ten orange-red rays pierced through the smoke and ignited ten organisms.

The Doom Slayer is swift in action, aided by a super-intelligent chip that makes him even more formidable, and his composite shoulder cannon fires continuously.

The moment Horanion was set ablaze, Ra led his brothers to spread out and maintain optimal firing distance.

The composite shoulder cannon fired continuously, unleashing explosive rays, disintegration sparks, and molten rays, with the three weapons firing in turn dozens of times per second.

Atomic sparks exploded, the flames blazing bright orange, and the heat melted through the body.

Within a second, all the enemies at the boarding point were cleared out, and Horanion was completely wiped out.

They didn't even have time to fight back; their proud, resilient fluid bodies were useless against high-tech weapons.

Carbonized bones rolled on the ground, gelatinous bodies were shredded, and massive bodies were pierced by hot melt.

"Keep up!" La gave a short command.

Without a moment's mourning for the aliens, he identified the direction to move forward, took the lead and rushed into the keratinous tunnel, letting his brothers follow behind.

"Watch their bodies." One of the brothers noticed something amiss and came to surround their enemies, who were not carrying any kind of external weapon.

Doom immediately realized that since the alien was not carrying any external weapons, its body itself was the weapon.

This is nothing surprising; the universe is vast and full of wonders, and biological weapons are quite common.

The psionic sand lizards eradicated by the Father of Genetics were themselves psionic beings, which were also a powerful weapon.

The passage was extremely slippery, filled with a misty, alien stench, and the glowing light of energy weapons constantly emanated from it.

The Horanion soldiers, arriving in droves, didn't even see the enemy due to the Doom Soldier's incredibly fast reaction time.

The moment his body swayed, he was immediately attacked by various rays. He died without understanding why human reaction speed was so fast.

After the alien dies, its gelatinous tissue peels off rapidly, leaving behind a pale white spine.

The warrior's spear was invincible, and the alien partition doors kept descending before being torn apart by the blue dimensional light blades.

Along the way, not a single alien survived; they were all vaporized by various powerful weapons.

"Watch out!" The telepathic link reached them, and they saw a glowing alien body around a corner.

Horanion finished charging up, raised its upper body, and its energy glands on its abdomen flashed rapidly, unleashing a bolt of purplish-black lightning.

The purple-black lightning was fast, but the Doomsday Warrior was even faster!
Their movements were like ghosts, displaying incredible abilities, instantly stopping their forward motion and leaping in the completely opposite direction.

The "self-discipline" technique from Nur plays a powerful role in narrow passages.

The lightning bolts that the alien anticipated and fired missed any of the Doomsday Warriors, instead exploding directly on the ground.

La reacted extremely quickly; he clearly saw that the moment the purplish-black lightning struck the ground, a tiny singularity appeared that existed for a fleeting instant.

Para~
A piercing sound exploded, tearing apart a nearly four-square-meter area of ​​ground. The area was compressed at the point where the singularity disappeared, leaving behind a piece of compressed material the size of a fingernail.

! ! ! !
Even the Doom Slayer, who had read extensively at the War College, was still amazed.

Horanion. They can create miniature singularities with their flesh, with power far exceeding that of conventional weapons.

There is a reasonable explanation for why they do not use external weapons.

The creation of miniature singularities within the physical body possesses astonishing power, surpassing the weaponry of most races.

He changed his movements in an instant, moving with incredible speed, leaving afterimages in the passage as he approached at a speed that the alien could hardly react to.

He spun around, released the spear, and threw a punch that struck the alien in the back.

The iron fist collided with the gelatinous body, and the impact was transmitted back through the gleaming gold glove. Ra sensed that the touch was wrong.

Horanion's gelatinous body is extremely strong, similar to a non-Newtonian fluid, dispersing most of his power.

Pulling apart the fist into claws, the sharp, gleaming gold fingertips pierced through the gelatinous skin and plunged straight into the alien's body.

My palms were enveloped in a warm, smooth embrace. I pulled my fingers to touch something hard. Through the semi-transparent body, I saw my hands touching the alien spine.

With a deep, muffled roar, the large hand suddenly exerted force, crushing the spine while reaching upwards and pulling out the alien brain.

He pulled off his helmet, quickly swallowed the brain tissue, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.

Among the Space Marine modifications, there is an enhancement called "Gene Detection Neural System".

Its specific function is to allow Space Marines to obtain enemy habits and some fragmented intelligence by devouring enemy flesh and blood.

However, the Space Marine Corps discourages this unless the situation is extremely urgent and unconventional methods must be used.

Because the acquired memories will impact the Space Marines' minds, and over time, this will lead to mental pollution.

Despite having this capability, the Space Marine Legion uses it cautiously to avoid mental corruption.

The Doom Legion, blessed by the Father of Genesis, are immune to mental contamination. They remain cautious, rarely using their "Gene Detection Neural Networks" to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The Ninth Legion, known as the "Ghoul Legion," serves as a negative example.

The situation is urgent. Horanion's biological weapons are beyond the danger range, and Ra must understand the Xenomorphs.

After consuming Horanion's brain tissue, Ra immediately put on his helmet, turned around, and caught the spear before it hit the ground.

The whole process was fast and sharp, with a series of incredibly simple movements that created a dazzling illusion.

Gene detection neurons take effect, gathering intelligence from the alien's brain.

Horanion – meaning “son of the abyss”.

They originate from the graveyard of stars, a group of black holes that exist after stars die, and are naturally capable of manipulating gravity.

The memories are vast yet fragmented, pulling the nerves to work at high speed, consciously selecting the information that is currently usable.

He quickly learned the ship's passageway and direction, and led his men to continue forward.

"Long-range shooting." He raised his left arm, and with his right hand, he held the rifle on his forearm, creating a makeshift shooting platform.

To avoid the risks of close-quarters combat, he decided to use long-range firepower for suppression.

Inside the alien ship, there were not many defensive facilities; the defense relied entirely on the Horanion warriors.

The Doomsday Warriors advanced rapidly, and Horanion could not stop them.

The aliens' biological weapons are powerful, but their reaction speed is very slow, even slower than that of normal humans.

Even with all ten warriors giving it their all, Horanion's speed was indeed like that of a Terran slug—too slow!

Within the gray carbon keratinous passage, the black-armored warriors were like ghosts, their energy beams flashing constantly as they ruthlessly harvested alien life.

The fleet commander stood frozen on the bridge, unable to comprehend why such frail humans were so powerful.
These black-armored warriors were like two completely different species from the humans they had previously bullied.

The intruders moved extremely fast; the commander had to slow down the holographic projection to still be able to see their movements clearly.

Originating from the edge of a black hole cluster, Horanion possesses a strong body that resists gravity, but his thought process is somewhat slow.

In past wars, their strong bodies proved unbreakable in the face of human resistance.

Human automated weapons are unable to tear through gelatinous skin, and a single shot from a warrior's singularity ray can kill a large number of humans.

The battle was very unequal; humanity had a small number of energy weapons that could harm their people, but their numbers were too few.

"Break through with all your might!" The commander gave the final order, urging his comrades to leave as soon as possible.

It reacted with remarkable speed among its kind, realizing that the gap between humans might be even greater than the gap between itself and other humans.

The sole mission of the raiding fleet now is to issue a warning, the most severe warning of survival.

The commander raised his upper body, revealing tiny tentacles on his abdomen, and quickly tapped the holographic control panel.

Alien script flashed rapidly, an assessment report was written, and sent to every warship within communication range.

That's all we can do. Let fate decide the rest.

Footsteps approached, like the Grim Reaper wielding a scythe in a dark dream, drawing ever closer to the bridge.

The commander's body flickered, and the energy within him began to activate.

It knew perfectly well that the humans' fierce attack was ultimately aimed at it.

The commander understood even more clearly that he couldn't withstand the humans' interrogation, and that self-destruction was the easiest way to die.

Bang! The bridge gate was kicked open by the golden combat boots, and the black-armored warrior stepped in.

"Humans! You..."

The alien let out a slick scream, mocking the futile efforts of humanity.

Unfortunately, it overestimated itself and underestimated the Doom Slayer.

Upon entering the bridge, La saw the mission target flashing purple light and immediately knew its intentions.

With lightning speed, he raised his spear and unleashed a cutting ray, precisely striking and slicing through the alien's spine.

Through the battles along the way, the Doomsday Warrior learned that the slug-like aliens also had a nerve center in their spine.

With its spine severed and its body losing nerve signals, the giant slug's abilities rapidly declined, and its raised upper body slowly collapsed to the ground.

He dragged it to its limp body and grabbed the slug by the scruff of its neck: "Inferior creature! Go talk to the torture machine if you have something to say!"
