Warhammer: Empire Reboot

A biological vessel stopped and began to advance.

The other ship began to capsize.

The third ship suddenly ruptured in the belly, spraying a large number of immature Zerg and putrid culture fluid into the void.

The swarm finally understood Lawson's purpose.

He's not just looking for the next Norn Queen.

He is poisoning along the biomass recycling network of the main tentacles.

This transport chain, originally intended to concentrate resources and help the core fleet evacuate, has now become a path for the poison to spread throughout the main tentacles.

The surrounding bio-ships began frantically severing the umbilical cord.

The fleshy tube, hundreds of kilometers long, narrows from the middle, and a hardened carapace grows rapidly, attempting to block the path ahead.

The dark gold drill bit rammed into it.

Boom!

Ahead, an even larger synaptic shadow has awakened.

Countless biological ships are converging on the core mothership.

Heavy guards blocked the biomass pipelines, and the neurobeasts began to remotely interfere with the psionic energy. The entire fleet, like a monster with its internal organs stabbed, twisted its body wildly, trying to squeeze the two intruders out.

Lawson then took out another Katachon barking toad and casually tossed it into the nearby circulatory branch.

A green, poisonous cloud exploded behind us.

As he looked at the closing lines of the insectoid defenses ahead, his smile grew wider and wider.

"With such a tight cover, the Norn queen must be right behind us."

The Shadow Blade Giant Diamond suddenly accelerated.

The black beam of light crashed into the Zerg fleet.

The dark gold drill bit pierced through the last layer of living isolation.

boom!

The chitinous gate, hundreds of meters in diameter, shattered inwards, and before the fragments could fall, they were pulverized by the high-speed rotating shadow blades.

Behind the drill bit, Lawson and Guilliman pierced through the blood mist and directly entered the nerve center of the second core mothership.

The Norn queen is ready.

The massive breeding chamber was divided into hundreds of independent zones.

Hardened valves grow between the blood vessels, allowing all circulatory organs to be immediately severed upon contamination.

The Norn Queen wasn't even surrounded by a swarm of guards, only a few dozen neurotic tyrants that had breached the psionic barrier.

As soon as the dark gold drill entered the chamber, dozens of purplish-black mental shocks pressed down simultaneously.

The rapidly spinning shadow blade experienced a brief period of malfunction.

Lawson merely raised his hand.

Black-gold spiritual energy spread out from behind him, forcefully pushing all the mental impacts to his sides.

Guilliman leaped out of the shadow cast by the drill, his Imperial Sword trailing a blazing golden line as he severed the synaptic connections between the three leading neural tyrants.

A crack has appeared in the psionic barrier.

Lawson has disappeared.

He bypassed the layers of living valves and appeared directly beneath the crown of the Norn Queen.

The queen insect suddenly contracted the surrounding tissues.

Hundreds of bone spurs converged from all directions.

The black and gold barrier trembled outwards.

The bone spurs stopped completely.

Lawson pressed the Katachang barking toad in his hand into the queen's exposed nerve tissue.

"The second gift."

puff!

The green toxic fog exploded against the brain tissue.

The moment the toxin came into contact with its body, the Norn queen actively severed half of its brain lobe and most of its reproductive organs, and its massive body sprang backward, attempting to exchange an entire chamber for survival.

But the barking toad exploded inside its body.

The thin green lines have already penetrated the remaining brain tissue along the nerve fibers.

The Norn Queen struggled for only a few seconds.

The nerve impulses beneath the crown quickly went out, and the remaining body lost control, crashing into the sealed isolation layer.

The newly hardened valves, having just completed their growth, actually locked the toxic mist inside, allowing high concentrations of toxins to repeatedly seep through every wound.

The entire brain tissue collapsed into mucus.

The swarm intelligence prompt had just appeared when Lawson didn't even bother to read the details.

The Norn nucleus and biomass were rapidly extracted.

The dark gold drill bit has been formed again.

"go!"

The two crashed through the hull of the mothership.

The second core mothership convulsed violently behind it.

Just as the surrounding bio-ships were about to sever the connection, Lawson had already rushed deeper along another biomass transport umbilical cord.

The swarm did not have time to complete a true evolution.

It can only continuously pass on the information it has just obtained to the next Norn queen.

The next mothership will begin its closed-loop system.

The next one will simply empty the air and blood from the core chamber in advance.

Another Norn queen caused all the guardian creatures to swallow large amounts of absorbent organs, attempting to filter the toxic mist with flesh and blood.

It's no use!

Lawson does not release toxins from the outside at all.

The dark gold drill bit is responsible for clearing the way.

Guilliman was in charge of tearing through the psionic defenses.

The barking toad is always delivered directly to the Norn queen's body.

Deep within the mothership, a queen insect floating in neurofluid had just sensed the spatial fluctuations when the Emperor's Sword pierced through the synaptic barrier protecting it from the side.

Golden flames spread along the nerve network.

The Norn Queen mobilized her guards to surround and kill Guilliman.

But Lawson emerged from the gene-weaving organ on its back, raising his hand and leaving behind a black barking toad that was swelling.

The two disappeared.

A green, poisonous cloud swelled up from the queen's body.

Each raid lasted only a very short time.

The previous core mothership had just issued a death signal when the dark gold drill had already drilled into the next biomass artery.

The swarm cut off the pipes, so Lawson forced his way through the void; the swarm mobilized its fleet to block them, and tens of thousands of Shadow Blades transformed into thousand-meter-long drills, piercing through the middle of the bio-ship.

A death trail, growing ever longer, is left in space.

The biological ship exploded from the inside.

The thick umbilical cord was rotting in patches.

The motherships that were recycling biomass suddenly lost control, and their massive hulls collided with each other.

Just as the outer escort ships were about to tow away their damaged brethren, the venom traveled back along the contact tentacles and entered their bodies.

More connections were actively severed.

The fleet, whose main tentacles were originally tightly connected, began to scatter.

The death of the Norn Queen caused the chaos to escalate rapidly.

Just as a fleet lost its core node, another Norn queen nearby attempted to take over. Before the synaptic signal could even reach it, the queen was already being pursued by Lawson and Guilliman.

The old orders have not disappeared.

The new command was abruptly interrupted.

A large number of biological ships lost their way amid conflicting synaptic signals.

Deep within the main tentacle, the massive Tyrannical fleet resembled a colossal beast whose nerves had been repeatedly severed.

Lawson and Guilliman headed inwards.

The five core motherships went out of service behind them.

The sixth Norn Queen was hidden inside the largest bio-ship on the entire main tentacle.

The giant ship was over a hundred kilometers long and was surrounded by layers of escort ships. Its outer shell resembled a mountain range growing out of the void.

Countless transport umbilical cords connect to nearby motherships, and almost all the remaining biomass in the entire war zone is converging into its interior.

It serves as both the breeding center and the largest resource storage node in this fleet.

As the dark gold drill approached, thousands of bio-ships on the periphery simultaneously turned around.

Spore thunder filled the void.

The heavy biological ship positioned its body horizontally across the channel.

A barrage of psionic energy surged across the fleet, pressing towards Lawson in an attempt to disrupt the Shadow Blade's rotation.
