The human army of the Musbel's Blade battle group built dense fortifications and firepower points on the foundation cracked by the 'Infinity Root'. The fully automatic weapon array continued to spit out powerful firepower at the waves of demons and insect swarms. Hundreds of millions of swarm drones formed an iron-gray cloud in the atmosphere, raining down jumping arcs and phase fragmentation cannons.

During the three-way melee, the reinforcement fleet of the Human Federation successfully arrived. The Zerg bio-ships led by the Tortured Mother surrounded the Aether Giant Zerg. The large steel-cast transport ships airlifted hundreds of giant war bodies to the outside of Oregon's atmosphere. Mortarion, holding a giant sickle, led an elite team of mechanics to carry out an orbital airdrop to the surface of Oregon, which was like hell on earth.

At this time, a senior pilot was inspecting the overheated automatic weapons array on the ground position and replacing the demon-contaminated machinery with new modules. After receiving the communication of the arrival of reinforcements, he looked up and saw countless airborne pods falling like a meteor shower.

The burly Primarch strode out of the drop pod. The 14th son of the Emperor wielded the scythe in his hand, sweeping away the lives of demons and aliens like harvesting straw. The Lord of Death descended from the sky as a king and dominated the battlefield.

The pilot scratched his head with the laser rangefinder pen in his hand: "Why are the armed Ogryns of Huangquan No. 8 here? Could it be that the Adeptus Mechanicus also wants to intervene in the war in the Galil Star Group?"

I've obviously never heard of it before...

Chapter 408 Activation

Fresh flesh and blood surged in the cracks of the earth's crust. Mortarion swung his sickle and cut a knifeworm lying on the edge of the crack, gnawing at the roots of a flesh-and-blood tree, in half. Light green body fluids spurted out.

The drone swarms hovering above the Primarch's head were stacked in layers, as densely packed as the crown of a towering tree. The iron-gray metallic clouds blocked out the sunlight and continuously dropped dense arcs of natural disasters to the ground.

The burly figure of the Cyberlux battle body emerged from the smoke, the iron giant's legs trudging deep in the magma, the missile launchers and autonomous laser arrays on its shoulders, at the limit of overheating, unleashed an unreserved carpet bombing on the crowded demon army below, turning the already lifeless shattered earth into an even hotter nuclear sea of ​​fire.

Mortarion stood with one foot on the corpse of a giant Tyranid war beast and looked up at the dark cloud of drones in the sky. A strong sense of unreality surged in his heart.

He couldn't remember the last time he experienced such an intense war. Was it the Great Expedition? Is it the Siege of Terra? still……

...I heard that both Guilliman and Lion have woken up, and I don’t know if there will be a chance to meet these two brothers in the future.

Mortarion sighed leisurely, picked up the scythe and walked towards the Tyranid biochemical titan bathing in the wave of flesh and blood under the mountains in the distance. Disintegrating beams of light rained down from the sky.

As the heavily armed primarchs fought against the biochemical titans, the armed forces of the Order of Truth dropped nearly saturated firepower on the ground battlefield of the planet. In this fiery purgatory, not a single particle of dust raised could be safe. Landed.

However, the saturation fire coverage that wantonly destroyed every inch of Oregon did not bring any turning point. Mortarion saw that under the broken crust, the surging flesh and blood roots were still growing wildly. The Tyranid swarms that covered the sky were gnawing at the flesh and blood of the Infinite Root, sending large amounts of biomass back to the mothership through the capillaries that reached the sky, breeding more and more swarm units.

The bright red bloodletting demon is still raging in the valley, and the subspace rift in the center of the Galil constellation continuously pours out chaotic tides of souls, allowing the power of the God of Chaos to be endlessly poured into the physical universe. The blood god Khorne's The dog heads roared in the Galil constellation. As long as the ancient subspace crack torn by the ancient saints was not closed for one day, the demon army on this planet would never be able to kill them all.

He chopped off another hissing insect head, and the hard feedback of the chitinous shell made Mortarion's palms numb. In the endless bloody battle, he could not see the point of continuing this war.

From the overview of data transmitted from the helmet, Mortarion saw that the broken land of Oregon was devastated by bombings, nuclear fusion, antimatter annihilation, vacuum decomposition, and the firepower poured into the planet by the fleet of the Order of Truth. The violent and endless doomsday scene seemed to be executing an extermination order on the planet.

In Mortarion's vast knowledge of biology. Almost no living things can survive in such an extreme environment. Even the successive Tyranids swarms died in batches under the deadly arc wash of the drone swarms...

...But only the flesh and blood surging in the cracks in the earth's crust, the 'Infinity Root' bombarded by saturated firepower, are still splitting, replicating, and multiplying crazily all the time, as if it is growing from the orbital bombardment of the fleet overhead. No impact at all.

"What's going on?" Mortarion leaped onto the neck of the Tyranid Bio-Titan, thrusting his sickle into the chitinous shell and holding it tightly as if he were riding a fierce horse.

Standing on top of the biochemical titan, a strange scene appeared in front of Mortarion amid bombardments all over the sky:

"Radiation levels in scorched areas following nuclear bombings are decreasing dramatically."

Russell stood on the top of the highest volcano on Oregon, the Farasong, and listened to the Gray Wind Report, which was connected to the drone swarm's vision: "Our orbital bombardment effectively destroyed a large amount of Infinite Root flesh and blood, but after that, the Infinite Root in the affected area will grow more luxuriantly.

The Infinite Root absorbs all kinds of energy, including nuclear radiation, irregular disturbances caused by antimatter annihilation, and matter fission beams, and converts them into more of its own flesh and blood with extremely high efficiency. "

In short, the stronger the firepower the fleet casts on the planet, the crazier the growth of the Infinite Root will be. Any form of matter and energy will become the nourishment of the Infinite Root, which is a very high level of mass-energy transformation.

"The Tyranid swarm has devoured a large amount of Infinity Root flesh and blood tissue, and the etheric giant worm is trying to decipher the secret of mass-energy conversion." Gray Wind's face was serious, and her subspace sensor detected psychic energy fluctuations in the center of the Galil star cluster. is becoming more and more active.

Russell narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the colorful starry sky outside the porthole window.

He saw a dark shadow lingering silently in the stormy sea of ​​souls. It was the will of the Great Devourer. Light-years away in the starry sky, Russell could still feel the insatiable hunger of the Great Devourer.

It is hungry, it is salivating, it is impatient... It will devour the roots of infinity at all costs, fill the abyssal mouth and bottomless stomach of the hive will, and satisfy the insatiable hunger... hunger...

Listening to the Great Devourer's whispers, Russell felt as if he was suddenly hungry too.

But the will of the hive is not the only one stirring up trouble in the sea of ​​souls. The blood god Khorne is also watching the hellish scene on Oregon. Did he come here on his own initiative? Or was he tricked by Tzeentch? Russell didn't know. The only thing he could be sure of was that this might not be good news for the Great Devourer.

"Should we stop the orbital bombardment of the Oregon star? If we continue to fertilize the Infinity Root, its proliferation will be completely uncontrollable..."

Grey Wind showed Russell a holographic projection of the planet Oregon. 73% of the matter of this former tomb world had been transformed into the flesh and blood of the Root of Infinity. With the bombardment of swarm drones and starship weapons, this proportion was still rising rapidly.

"It is expected that in 29 minutes, the Oregon Star will completely turn into a twisted and swollen mass of sarcoma." Gray Wind gave his own estimate.

Minutes... a little slow."

Russell stood up and moved his stiff shoulders: "Don't let the explosion stop. It's better to say that the firepower now is not enough... Let us pour more firepower into the infinite root, so that we can hope to truly activate it." This relic.”

"Activate the relics?" Hui Feng was a little confused. Different relics will have different effects after being activated. The arm such as the Wattaum Reality Perforator can modify reality after being activated. The Sovereign Core can greatly improve the mechanical components after being activated. work efficiency...

What will happen after the 'Infinite Root' is activated?

Chapter 409 Heart

Mortarion stood in the pile of overturned Zerg corpses, his body soaked in blood. He looked up at the overcast sky, where hundreds of millions of drones were circling and dancing. The arcs of lightning were falling like thunderbolts from the gods, and the powerful firepower of destruction was infusing more nutrients for the growth of the Infinite Root.

When the last piece of land on the planet Oregon was turned into flesh, the dead bodies of the swarm at Mortarion's feet became the only place to stay. The threshold of swallowing a planet seemed to have triggered a certain switch, making the already growing flesh-and-blood tree roots more active.

There is no need to go down to the surface of the planet. Ordinary humans can directly see the surging waves of flesh when standing in the orbit of the atmosphere and looking down with the naked eye. The thick roots of the trees are entangled, entangled, and supporting each other. A towering giant tree has become The gnarled Oregon star rises from the ground, its thick trunk woven from countless intertwined infinite roots.

At the top of the crown of this giant flesh-and-blood tree, a bright red fruit suddenly appeared.

The heavy fruit hanging from the branches of the giant tree is about the size of a heavy tank, with blue blood vessels beating on the surface and a light pink color appearing on the flesh wall. The twisted flesh and blood looks like a diseased tumor parasitic on the root of infinity, or like a vigorously beating heart.

As this 'heart' beats, the hive mind goes crazy.

The giant ether worm, which was severely damaged by the concentrated fire of the federal fleet, opened its mouth and spewed out scarlet breath. Countless spore airdrop capsules covering the sky and the sun fell down on it. Regardless of casualties, it forcibly broke through the air supremacy blockade of the drone swarm. The swarm of insects like mountains and seas came to this fertile land with churning waves of flesh.

It was a sea of ​​scarlet.

On the ground, Mortarion saw sickly red patches squirming on the ground, tens of millions of insects crawling towards the towering flesh-and-blood tree and trying their best to climb up, and the Hive Mind was eager to pick that delicious fruit. .

In the sky, the drone swarm that was dispersed by the spore breath regained air superiority under the unified command of the Grey Wind main process. The surging arcs of electricity bombarded the Zerg flying units that attempted to fly directly to the branches of the giant tree.

And in a more abstract 'somewhere', Mortarion felt a huge threat.

"The threat comes from subspace, the threat comes from the Blood God." Mortarion's brain was spinning rapidly. The superhuman qualities of the original body gave him the capital to think calmly in high-intensity wars. Complex battlefield information poured into Mortarion's mind. Brain, he began to calculate.

The Warp rift in the center of the Garil star cluster is gushing out a surging Warp wave, and Khorne's will is unprecedentedly active. Relying on the calculation of "numerology", Mortarion locked onto a precise coordinate.

It was under the canopy of the flesh-and-blood giant tree and above a giant tree root.

"A new threat will appear at that location...but I can't calculate what it is specifically. The overflow influence of the evil god interfered with my calculation process."

The failure of numerology made Mortarion furious. He angrily took off his helmet and threw it to the ground: "Damn it! Forget it."

After venting his anger, Mortarion picked up his helmet again, contacted the Cerberus battle formation behind him through the communication equipment on it, and sent the coordinates he calculated. He shouted loudly: "Concentrate all firepower and bombard The coordinates! Bomb them for me!"

No matter what appears there, just blow it up!

As soon as he finished speaking, overwhelming melta bombs, condensed plasma, and decay beams shot out from the steel army behind Mortarion, completely covering the particularly thick tree root.

The powerful fire bombardment caused the towering flesh and blood tree to shake, and when the spectrum in front that was disturbed by the decay beam finally returned to normal, the large tree root as thick as the spire of the hive city had been reduced to ashes, and replaced by a huge pit flowing with dark blue blood.

The Cyberlux war machine mechanic behind the wheel sent a message: "The machine has detected a massive subspace disturbance. A subspace portal is about to take shape ahead. We lack enough blackstone and cannot perform the forced closure process."

Before the mechanic's report was finished, the scene in the pit suddenly distorted, like a calm water surface being stirred into a whirlpool. From the whirlpool, shrill screams and furious war roars could be heard.

A battle axe dripping with blood stretched out from the vortex, followed by a sturdy arm holding the axe handle. Thick blood vessels were beating on the blood-red skin, and it was tied with rusty iron chains. The strong body with muscular knots was covered with scars. A pair of backward-bent cow hooves in the lower body supported this furious and blasphemous demon body, and a pair of fragmented wings spread out behind it.

Mortarion recognized the fiery monster:

——The bloodthirsty demon Skarbrand.

"What's going on? Isn't the Starbuster here? Why is Khorne still able to summon his champion Daemon to the surface of the Oregon star?"

Mortarion's doubts were answered immediately as soon as they arose. Because after 'Skarbrand' stepped out of the subspace portal, the whirlpool that stirred reality did not disappear, and angry roars and shrill screams continued to come from it.

Mortarion tried to calculate what the hell dimension behind the warp portal looked like, but all he saw was endless death and killing. The blood-red earth in the Khorne Realm had cracked open a bottomless crack at some point, like a pair of greedy giant mouths sucking and devouring the demon army composed of vampires and bloodthirsty demons.

Looking at the abyss emitting the breath of despair and nothingness, Mortarion realized that Khorne had sent at least eight powerful demon legions to the Oregon star, which had turned into a tumor, led by eight brave and warlike bloodthirsty demons.

And Skarbrand is the only demon individual among the eight Khorne Legions who escaped from the Khorne Realm alive and came to the real universe.

It can be said that if it were not for the secret targeting of the shadow of the Hive Mind, even Skarbrand would not be able to escape the abyss of nothingness torn apart by the Star Destroyer.

The Cerberox War Corps behind Mortarion raised their weapons warily against the bloodthirsty demon, but Skarbrand did not move towards them. The great demon of Khorne, holding a blood ax, rushed into the endless among the swarms of insects.

Skarbrand swung his blood ax and used his overwhelming fury to carve out a bloody path paved with insect corpses.

It is also moving in the direction of the giant tree of flesh and blood.

"Both Khorne and the Hive Mind want to get the fruit on that tree? What exactly is that fruit?" Before Mortarion could think about it, a chilling voice rang directly from the original's helmet. :

"Catch up and grab the contents of that fruit."

That was Russell's voice.

At the same time as the Star-Bomb was giving the order, another batch of spore airdrop capsules broke through the blockade of the drone swarm and landed on the ground. This time, the number of spores was far less than the previous ones. The fleet of the Human Federation had gained an overwhelming advantage in the space battle, and the seriously injured Ether Giant Worm was already at the end of its strength. However, the size of each of these airdrop capsules was even larger, and larger and more ferocious Tyranid war beasts broke out of their shells, screaming and running towards the battlefield.

And from the airdrop bag in the center, a huge humanoid monster with 8 arms suddenly walked out.

Its body was much larger than that of the bloodthirsty Skarbrand, and the sharp tips of its eight arms were dripping with poisonous venom. It was obvious that this was a high-level command unit among the Tyranids. As soon as the eight-armed giant insect appeared, the overwhelming scarlet wave began to boil in response to its arrival.

The 'Hive Tyrant' opened its mouth and let out a sharp hiss, and its six asymmetrical eyes revealed an insatiable hunger.

Skarbrand's act of climbing the flesh tree angered the Great Devourer.

Mortarion looked at Skarbrand, who was killing everyone in the insect sea, and then at the eight-armed Hive Tyrant, who was as tall as a small Titan. Finally, he looked at the fact that he might not have a Hive Tyrant in his hand. A sickle with long fangs:

"You want me to fight this thing?"

Chapter 410 Endless Swarm of Insects

It was the last breath of the Aether Giant Worm - Behemoth that sent the Eight-Armed Hive Tyrant to the surface of Oregon. After the last spore breath fell into orbit, the concentrated arc salvos of the main battleship cluster penetrated the indestructible dragon scale armor on the surface of the giant worm, and the body of the Behemoth was torn into pieces in the starry sky.

"finished?"

"It's just the beginning!"

"After being killed, the giant etheric worm will disintegrate into a group of completely crazy large-scale insect swarm biological colonies. Every internal organ of this giant beast is an insect swarm biological ship that can move independently, and every cell is a A ferocious and dangerous Tyranid creature."

"After the death of the giant insect, the real insect tide has just arrived!"

Echoing the words of the officers in the fleet, the ether giant worm's disintegrated body turned into a scarlet storm under the shining of the stars, like a locust flying over a wheat field in ancient times, whistling and swooping down towards the Oregon Star below, where waves of flesh and blood were surging.

The scale of this insect wave was larger than any previous spore breath, and the scarlet storm flooded the entire planet.

The human federation's giant ship cannons can penetrate indestructible dragon scale armor and smash planet-sized starry sky beasts, but in the face of the insect swarm storm that blocks the sky and the sun, they lack efficient means of mass destruction.

The Burning Sky Divine Weapon may be able to eliminate all enemies within a few light years at once, but it is not suitable for use here.

The colorful starry sky dimmed under the shadow of the Hive Mind, and the swarm began to devour the Oregon star that had turned into a giant sarcoma, and the Great Devourer feasted on it.

It was at this time that Grey Wind, who had precisely grasped the timing, delegated authority and unsealed the weapons that had been waiting in the cabin of the Tortured Mother for a long time.
