Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

The humans and their descendants, corrupted by the gene-stealing master, still worship the emperor, but their twisted minds believe that the emperor should be like them.

It has a deformed skull and four arms, just like the statue in front of you.

The surrounding activity suggests that the church was inhabited not long ago.

Especially the emperor statue that had been modified; it was spotless, clearly indicating that someone was maintaining it every day.

Just as Xiao Yi was about to step forward to see if he could find any useful information from the statue, a very strange psionic signal came from above the statue.

"Um?"

At that moment, Xiao Yi's body tensed up and entered a battle state. He slowly looked up at the ceiling above the statue while his right hand reached for the power sword at his waist.

In the darkness, two pairs of cold and cruel eyes scrutinized him and Robert beside him as if they were sizing up prey.

Its insect-like chitinous shell reveals a few patches of purple skin, and the huge lump on its head looks somewhat comical.

But the four thick arms and the sharp teeth in its mouth proved to those who wanted to underestimate them that the creature before them was indeed some kind of ferocious beast.

Their two arms were gripped tightly into the concrete to secure themselves, while their other two arms held live-fire carbines and short knives that they had captured from somewhere.

The faint psionic field blurred everything around them, which is why the soldiers who came in to search earlier didn't notice this imminent threat.

Their gazes met in mid-air, and Xiao Yi could clearly sense the shock in their eyes. These two seemed very confident that no one could detect their disguise.

Now that the humans in front of me have discovered me, there is no need to continue pretending.

The two gene stealers on the ceiling exchanged a glance, then simultaneously released their claws gripping the concrete and charged toward Xiao Yi and Robert, one to the left and one to the right.

The sound of hind legs shattering the concrete ceiling echoed through the church, and it was only then that Robert realized that two extremely dangerous creatures had been lurking beside him all along.

Things happened so fast that his body couldn't react in time, and Robert could only watch silently as the two gene stealers got closer and closer to him.

Just as he was in despair and preparing to accept the fact that he was about to die, a powerful force suddenly came from behind him, pulling him out of the gene stealer's attack range.

boom!

The powerful impact caused the ground to tremble almost imperceptibly.

Are you alright?

Robert, still shaken, turned his head slightly and saw Xiao Yi's reassuring face.

"It's not a big problem."

The gene stealer looked at Xiao Yi and Robert with a dangerous glint in its eyes. One of its six limbs crouched slightly on the ground, and like a cheetah that had been lying in wait, it suddenly pounced and charged forward.

Meanwhile, the other used a live-fire carbine to suppress the Imperial soldiers behind Xiao Yi and his men.

"Caught it."

Xiao Yi grabbed Robert by the collar and threw him toward his adjutant, then charged forward with his power sword.

Seeing the audacity of the human before them, the gene stealer responsible for providing cover did not underestimate them. He immediately turned his gun on Xiao Yi's emptied magazine.

Those gene stealers chosen to become temple guards are undoubtedly the most powerful beings in their race; a dozen bullets almost completely sealed off Xiao Yi's room to dodge.

Just when the gene stealer and his companions thought that the human in front of them would be shot and injured, and finally be beheaded, Xiao Yi swung his power sword at the bullets that might threaten him in the upcoming battle.

As for the others, they are not worth worrying about at all; they won't even leave bullet marks on Xiao Yi's new armor.

A chaotic sword light enveloped him, and the bullets aimed at Xiao Yi were easily sliced ​​apart by the power sword like tofu, splitting into two parts and flying out in different directions.

The distance of a dozen steps was covered in the blink of an eye. Xiao Yi seized the opportunity and used the height difference between himself and the gene thief to bend down and stab him in the abdomen.

Sensing a threat to its life, the gene stealer, driven by its survival instinct, extended its two free claws, preparing to grasp the power sword in Xiao Yi's hand.

But no matter how thick the chitinous shell is, it cannot stop the tearing force that can easily cut through steel.

Unsurprisingly, the gene stealer's claws were completely rendered useless, and the power sword, now free of resistance, easily pierced its abdomen, its beast-like roar echoing in everyone's ears.

The wounded gene stealer stared intently at Xiao Yi with its scarlet eyes, seemingly wanting to execute him in this way.

Despite the severe abdominal injury, the two still intact arms above the body were not rendered immobile. Pointing a live-fire carbine at the human's head, the wounded gene stealer pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi was prepared. Although his eyes were fixed on another gene stealer, his psychic energy allowed him to see more.

The ignited gunpowder exploded in the barrel, and the powerful force it generated propelled the bullet forward, but an invisible force blocked the muzzle, preventing the bullet from advancing any further.

The firing of a carbine does not stop because of the bullet stuck in the muzzle. As the bullets pile up, the barrel, unable to withstand the pressure, explodes.

The flying fragments pierced the gene stealer's eyes, causing him to lose half of his vision. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yi drew his power sword and sliced ​​off the man's head with a single blow.

All of this happened in just a few seconds. By the time the other gene stealer realized what was happening, his companion had already completely lost his life.

An unintelligible roar came from the gene stealer's throat, clearly indicating that the guy was angry and wanted revenge for his companion.

But his animalistic instincts told him that the human before him could not be solved by himself.

Within the gene-stealer's consciousness network, imperceptible to humans, his furious roar echoed. Upon receiving the news, the thieves nearby immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed out.

"For the Four-Armed God Emperor!"

In the once empty church, a group of cunning thieves who looked almost identical to humans suddenly appeared. If they could simply cover the plate-like protrusions on their foreheads, they could easily blend into the human-inhabited areas.

These should be the fourth generation of gene stealers; compared to their parents, these guys are more deceptive.

"Kill these damn aliens."

The blasphemous slogans enraged Robert, who had just recovered from his shock. He drew his laser pistol and shot the cunning man at the front.

Thus, a small-scale skirmish broke out between the two sides in the narrow confines of the church.
