Warhammer: Empire Reboot

Lawson laughed loudly: "Just the two of us!"

Laughter still echoed within the living chamber, while immense psionic energy spread outwards.

The memories that Lawson had just obtained from Norn's genetic weaving penetrated backward along the neural network, reading the last synaptic signals received by the mothership before its death.

Countless chaotic images flooded the swarm's mind.

The outer fleet is retreating.

The damaged bio-ship was towed into the main tentacle.

Hundreds of transport carriers gathered around the core fleet, their thick, fleshy umbilical cords spanning the void, transporting the remaining biomass to deeper depths.

Behind those bio-ships, there was an even deeper synaptic fluctuation.

Another Norn-level life node.

It's not far from our current location.

The swarm is sending the remaining genetic samples and biomass from this war zone to the core fleet controlled by the Norn queen.

"found it."

Tens of thousands of dark gold shadow blades covered the entire chamber, extending from behind Guilliman all the way to the dissolving dome.

Lawson clenched his five fingers.

Tens of thousands of shadow blades turned simultaneously.

The innermost layer of shadow blades connects end to end, forming a slender drill core. The second layer is arranged in the opposite direction, with the sharp edges facing outwards, forming the first ring of cutting structure. More shadow blades continue to be stacked outwards, one layer overlapping the other, staggered from one another.

Click!Click!Click!

A metallic locking sound echoed continuously in the chamber.

A dark gold drill bit, over 100 meters in diameter and nearly 1,000 meters in length, floated in front of the two.

Rotate the outer layer clockwise!

Rotate the inner layer counterclockwise!

The middle layers interlock at different speeds, constantly cutting and pulling any material caught in them before expelling it to the rear.

As soon as the drill bit started to rotate, the surrounding space began to distort visibly.

hum-

The low tremor quickly rose.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The individual shadow blades were no longer visible on the surface of the dark gold drill bit; only rings of rapidly rotating black light remained.

Before they could actually move forward, the remaining bone beams nearby were pulled over.

As soon as a bone column with a diameter of tens of meters touched the edge of the drill bit, thousands of fine lines immediately appeared on its surface.

The next moment, the entire bone pillar turned into countless fragments.

Lawson pointed forward.

"go!"

The dark gold drill bit suddenly accelerated.

boom--

The flesh-and-blood dome of the core mothership collapsed instantly.

The chitinous shell, hundreds of meters thick, was pulverized into powder the moment it came into contact with the drill bit by the high-speed rotating blade.

The muscles, blood vessels, and nerve tissue beneath the carapace exploded layer by layer, swept to both sides by the enormous force generated by the rotation.

A straight hole appeared inside the mothership.

The drill bit continued forward.

None of the organs along the way could stop it.

The bone wall was shattered.

The blood pool was vaporized into a sky full of blood mist.

Before the sealed biological gate had fully closed, a through hole with a diameter of 100 meters had already appeared in the middle.

The mothership attempted to contract its muscles to clamp down on the weapon that had intruded into its body.

Muscle bundles several kilometers long pressed in from both sides.

The rotational speed of the dark gold drill bit surface was increased again.

Rumble!

The moment the flesh walls on both sides came close, they turned into tens of thousands of tons of blood and flesh fragments.

Lawson and Guilliman hovered behind the drill bit.

Guilliman stared at the rapidly receding layers of flesh on either side.

The drill bit pierced through the last layer of the outer shell and plunged into the void.

Once air resistance was lost, the rotation of tens of thousands of shadow blades suddenly accelerated, and the black light bands almost became one.

The shattered armor was ejected into space from both sides, leaving a chillingly neat circular hole on the surface of the death mothership.

Ahead, the Zerg fleet has spotted them.

Hundreds of escort vessels changed course.

Spore mines spread out like gray-white clouds, and swarms of flying creatures detached from the ship's hull. Several heavy bio-ships opened their cannons, and bio-plasma converged deep within their mouths.

The Shadowblade drill bit crashed into the spore thundercloud.

Puff puff puff!

Before countless spore mines could even explode, they were sliced ​​into fragments finer than dust.

The swarm of flying insects rushed towards us, a black wave covering the entire drill bit, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a rainstorm of severed limbs and blood mist from behind.

The first protective vessel stood in front.

It opened its enormous jaws, filled with bone-like teeth, attempting to swallow the drill along with the two people whole.

A band of dark gold light entered from the middle of its mouth.

Moments later, the stern of the ship exploded.

The drill pierced through the several-kilometer-long bio-ship without slowing down.

The bio-ship remained in a forward-moving posture, but a huge hole had appeared in the middle of its body.

With the flesh and blood on both sides losing support, the ship slowly collapsed inward.

The Zerg fleet continued to swarm in, attempting to slow down the weapon with their flesh and blood.

The dark gold drill headed forward.

The biological ship has been gutted!

The tentacles were crushed!

Zerg ships along the way exploded one after another, leaving a trail of flesh and blood stretching for thousands of kilometers in the void.

Ahead, a massive biomass transport hub is right in front of us.

Dozens of motherships are connected to each other via thick umbilical cords, forming a recycling chain that spans the void.

Biomass slurry flows along these fleshy pipes, delivering it to another core mothership deep within the fleet.

Lawson maneuvered the drill bit into one of the main umbilical cords.

The fleshy tube, hundreds of meters in diameter, was pierced through in an instant.

The drill bit advances at high speed along the inside of the pipe.

All around were surging biomass.

The dark red slurry rushed towards them, only to be torn into mist upon contact with the spinning shadow blade. The tube walls continuously secreted acid, grew bone spikes, and even spawned swarms of defensive insectoids.

Nothing works.

Where the drill bit was, only a straight hole remained.

After advancing ten kilometers, Lawson raised his hand and flicked it.

A dark mass crossed the psychic field and landed in the blood vessel on the side that had been torn open by the drill.

The Katachang barking toad had just recovered from its stagnation when it was terrified by the surrounding roar and torrent of blood and flesh, causing its entire body to swell up.

puff!

Dark green toxic fog seeped into the blood vessels.

The toxins spread forward and backward simultaneously along the high-speed flowing biomass slurry.

The once vibrant pipe walls quickly turned black, the absorption organs along the way detached in pieces, and the biomass being transported turned into bubbling, putrid sewage.

The drill bit moved forward another ten kilometers.

The second barking toad was thrown into the side circulation pipe.

Ten more kilometers.

The third one.

It's like Lawson has sown poison in a vast underground river!

Every ten kilometers, a green cloud of death explodes in the biomass cycle of the main tentacle.

A transport umbilical cord rotted.

The contamination spread along the connection and invaded the nearby biological vessel.

Several motherships that were absorbing biomass suddenly convulsed, and large areas of their abdomens turned black.

They immediately tried to sever the connection, but the toxins had already entered their digestive organs along with the nutrient slurry they had just inhaled.

The blackish-green rotten area rapidly expanded along the hull.
