"But if he conquers this galaxy, all the orcs in the entire Octares star field will submit to him." Tzeentch saw it very clearly.

"At that time, a being similar to the Orc Emperor will appear who rules over the entire star region. These united greenskins will become unstoppable under the command of the Orc Emperor."

This is a future that Tzeentch cannot accept.

In the entire Octarian galaxy, the Devourer has 1.5 million Zerg fleets that fill the entire galaxy. On every planet, the Devourer's fleets are devouring the biomass, water, air, and minerals on the ground.

There is a huge queen insect above every planet, which is constantly giving birth to Tyranid bio-ships.

A terrifying Tyranid galaxy like this one can easily make other races lose the desire to attack at a glance.

Such a huge Zerg fleet is enough to sweep across most of the star regions of the human empire (the imperial star region is the basic administrative area of ​​the empire, controlling a range of approximately seven to eight hundred light years), destroy three or four Eldar ark fleets, wipe out the middle and upper-level Necrons dynasties, or destroy the entire Tau Empire.

If a war really breaks out, the Great Devourer can still call in support from other galaxies, and the supporting Zerg fleets will continue to form a long line measured in light years.

As long as the Great Devourer is willing, the war will continue until the last combat bug in His hands is defeated.

Even with such powerful force in his hands, the Great Devourer still feels that he cannot win against the impending attack of the Slippery Boss. The data from his computing unit is relatively objective.

"This battle is your last chance in Octares. You can only fight with all your might. If you win, you will devour everything. If you lose, everything will be over."

"I can send the Thousand Sons Legion and demonic support to you. As long as you release the projection of the warp, reinforcements will continue to flow to my side."

Tzeentch offered his own bargaining chips.

Use hundreds of layers of subspace magic and split your thoughts into tens of thousands of branches to avoid Tzeentch's detection.

The Great Devourer thought for a moment and replied, "The Swarm will choose to fight in Octaria, but they do not need your help."

After saying this, Tzeentch felt a huge pain piercing the center of his mind, and in the ever-changing crystal palace deep inside, a corner collapsed due to the sudden attack.

After the severe pain, Jianqi was angry at first, and then laughed happily. Such changes are interesting and fun.

The Great Devourer is indeed a genius. He divided his own thoughts and hid this attack in the lowest level of his thoughts.

When the time was right, He used a trillion-level collective mental power to attack Tzeentch's palace along the magic threads in the warp, causing damage to Tzeentch.

The Great Devourer also knew that this attack could not harm Tzeentch's essence, but He wanted Tzeentch to feel pain, expressing that the will of the Zerg is free and not afraid of the evil gods above them.

The reason why they rejected Tzeentch's help was because the Zerg represented by the Great Devourer had its own pride and confidence.

In the past, the Tyranids' combat worm hatching mode focused on cost-effectiveness, using the least amount of biomass to design a strategy that was most suitable for a war of attrition and the most efficient way to recycle biomass after the war.

Now facing a powerful enemy, the Great Devourer had to change its strategy and start improving the overall combat power of the Zerg from the perspective of combat effectiveness.

Cost-effectiveness has become a thing of the past, and higher-end and more powerful combat capabilities are the most important things now.

The insect swarms in the entire galaxy began to devour each other and evolve into elite ones. The combat effectiveness of knife insects and gun insects will be increased threefold while their size remains unchanged.

Node bugs such as warrior bugs will increase their psionic organs and use psionic magic to amplify nearby low-level units.

Larger executioners, insect king guards, and Tyranid war beasts have become even larger, and are all equipped with organs that secrete corrosive acid.

In the Great Devourer's plan, this is a large-scale, long-term war of attrition. The greenskin spores corroded by acid can no longer reproduce, and the metal scraps corroded by acid can no longer be used by the greenskins to make war machines.

The biological warships in space also turned into large cocoons and began to evolve. The Great Devourer not only had to strengthen their armor and fangs, but also their attack capabilities, and finally placed an acid sac in their bodies.

In this war, the Great Devourer never thought about earning biomass, and He was ready to fight hard.

Chapter 267 The Forged Throne

Even though the Great Devourer attacked him and destroyed his palace, Tzeentch did not intend to bother with him. Tzeentch was a "magnanimous" god with clear goals, and the existence of the cunning boss was too disgusting to him.

"Magnus."

"Praise the great god of wisdom and magic, your followers are always waiting for your orders." A portal opened, and the red-skinned rebel primarch Magnus appeared in front of Tzeentch.

"How is the fleet of the Thousand Sons prepared?" In order to deal with the Great Devourer, to confront Him, and to 'convince' Him to consume biomass and fight the Emperor's clone, Tzeentch concentrated a lot of power and attention, so many other plans could only be handed over to his subordinates to execute.

"The magic battleship plan is progressing very smoothly. More and more people think that the battleship fantasy we created with magic is real, so the consciousness projection of the master of the insect swarm has played a very critical role in the solidification of the magic battleship."

"Now those magical illusions have become real. The number of warships of the Thousand Sons has at least increased tenfold." Magnus said very happily. Creating something out of nothing and turning the virtual into the real, the power of magic is so magical.

"It's not enough. The Emperor is not that easy to defeat. The backup plan He arranged is too powerful. We must arrange more forces to enter the field and consume the Emperor's orc clone to ensure that he is defeated."

It was clear that Tzeentch was not satisfied with Magnus's answer.

"The Corpse King's arrangement was indeed too clever. He used a soul clone from the 2K era to possess a green-skinned orc, and used the orc's characteristics to please Brother Gomao, turning the orcs and their gods into his own power."

After betraying the Imperium of Man, Magnus was clearly disrespectful to the Emperor. Although he praised the Emperor's arrangements, his tone was still full of contempt.

Tzeentch looked at Magnus, thought for a while, closed his eyes and felt the thread of fate.

Said: "You need to be more respectful when addressing the Emperor. His throne has been built. It won't take long. Perhaps in the next hundred years, a thousand years, or the next second, He will ascend the throne."

"At least some respect is necessary for a god."

"What! So soon?! Is this moment finally coming?" Magnus was very surprised.

"Yes, although the future is still vague..." Tzeentch was about to say something when he found that Magnus was still there, so he waved his hand and teleported him away.

After he was sure that no one could hear his words, Tzeentch said to himself: "Whether I arrange for you to become the God of Vengeance, or... become the King of Darkness, you must make a choice."

"Oh, no matter how unwilling you are, you don't have time. No matter how you vent your anger and hatred, it is all in the hands of fate."

After saying this, Tzeentch laughed, and his cold and melodious laughter echoed in the crystal palace full of mirrors, as if it would never stop.

Outside the warp, in the real universe, Magnus was on his flagship, the Glory, and he felt very regretful. He thought he could hear some words from the future, but he didn't expect that Tzeentch was still so wary of him.

A portal appeared next to Magnus, and a sorcerer of the Thousand Sons teleported in.

"My Lord, the release of the Warp Storm was successful... but... it is still far from our goal."

"Oh?"

"Those green monsters did not enter the subspace. According to magical predictions, they were traveling to Octaria in conventional space travel."

"Damn, it's an inertia-free engine!" Many mages like Magnus hate the Necrons, the technological pinnacle of the physical universe. Their technological creations are often difficult to restrain.

After rolling his eyes, Magnus remembered that Tzeentch had said that he would arrange other forces to deal with the greenskins, and he instantly thought of his former brother Fulgrim.

Fulgrim surrendered to Slaanesh. During the Horus Heresy, he killed a Primarch and put the Imperial Regent Guilliman into a sleep for 10,000 years. If it weren't for the help of the Eldar Death Army leader Ivrai, Guilliman would still be half dead at this moment.

So Fulgrim killed two Primarchs by himself. Although he is a pervert (whoever believes in Slaanesh is not a pervert), his fighting ability is very strong. Now Slaanesh is ordering Fulgrim to gather an army, and Magnus also knows about the deal between Tzeentch and Slaanesh.

Since their goals were the same, Magnus thought that he could help Fulgrim quickly gather an army to fight the Emperor's orc clones.

Now that Magnus has made his decision, there is no time to waste. There are many mortal sects under the Thousand Sons Legion, and their sphere of influence covers the entire galaxy.

These sects do a lot of things, such as performing summoning rituals, learning Necrons technology, tripping up Nurgle (Tzeentch and Nurgle are mortal enemies), releasing warp storms, corrupting Imperial planets, and capturing Space Marines or Primaris Space Marines for experimental research.

And so on...and so on. In short, the crimes they committed are too numerous to list.

However, the Thousand Sons sect has such a huge sphere of influence that if they are willing to help Fulgrim's plan will go much more smoothly, and the speed of gathering troops and marching will be much faster.

Magnus and Fulgrim's plan would take time, and the speed of the inertia-free engine would save time.

The Slippery Boss and his Screw Clan accurately arrived at the Octaria Galaxy after two months of sailing.

Because of the non-inertia engine's superluminal speed, its navigation concealment effect is extremely high. When a fleet of 50,000 orcs appeared on the outskirts of the Octaria galaxy, the Devouring Tyranid fleet discovered them, but there was no time to organize a defense.

The success of the raid was confirmed by the main gun of the Slippery Boss, which sounded the clarion call for the attack.

Gently, the sly boss pressed the firing button of the Star God Crusher Cannon. The golden and green intersecting beams of light pierced through the massive Tyranid biological fleet, cutting a fierce hole inside it, creating a death zone tens of millions of kilometers long.

Although the Great Devourer covered its skin with a layer of metal when it evolved the Tyranid bio-ship to block the chain collapse reaction at the genetic level.

But this attack still took away nearly 100,000 Tyranid bio-ships. This was because the Star God Crusher's firepower was stronger and it could shoot farther, and the metal layer could only suppress the chain reaction, not eliminate it.

In the past, the sly boss would have been extremely excited about the success of this shot. However, due to the loss of some of his ego consciousness, his instincts were reduced a lot, and his personality became more peaceful.

Seeing that the situation was opened up by the first shot, He calmly ordered: "Screw Clan, crush the bugs."

Chapter 268: The Second Battle of Octaria

The cunning boss just gave a casual order, but the guys who had been holding back for half a month were now much more excited.

There are 50,000 orc warships, and one third of them are battleships equipped with dimensional cannons. Such powerful weapons must of course be fired first, the sooner they are used, the sooner they cool down.

So many orc warships activated the dimensional cannons at the same time, shattering the ordinary space as if it were glass. The tear in space pushed forward like ripples, tearing everything it encountered into pieces.

A large number of Tyranid fleets were affected and destroyed by the ripples of destruction before they had time to disperse.

The chaotic space storm not only destroyed another 30,000 Tyranid Swarm fleets in the first place, but also created a death zone and an isolated battlefield, preventing the Tyranid Swarm fleets from launching all-round counterattacks.

The advantages brought by the surprise attack were demonstrated from the very beginning.

The Great Devourer quickly mobilized his forces to launch a counterattack, and then quickly let the queen insect in his hand shed its cocoon and prepare to evolve into a Star Devourer. The Star Devourer consumes too much energy, so it is impossible to hatch in advance. If the queen insect is kept in this form for a while longer, more soldiers can be produced.

The environment of the Octarian galaxy is like this. From the outside to the inside, the five planets are Ork-5 to Ork-1.

Because of their orbital motion, Ork-5 and Ork-2 are on the frontline in the direction of attack by the Slippery Boss.

On the other side, Ork 1, 3 and 4 are separated by stars. On the other side of the galaxy, these three planets can be regarded as rear planets.

The military strength on both sides of the galaxy is roughly equal, both have 75 Zerg fleets.

The battle on the Ork V frontline that came under attack lasted only an hour. Taking into account the casualties from the surprise attack, the Tyranid fleet's losses were approaching 18.

The Great Devourer knew that the war would be difficult, but he did not expect it to be so difficult. Every minute and every second of biomass lost here made Him feel painful.

If I have to describe it, the Great Devourer is like a stock trader who calculates the ups and downs of each war he engages in, but unfortunately the ups and downs of a war are endlessly calculated.

As a veteran, the Great Devourer has been winning lately.

But this time, as soon as they met, he faced the limit down. It can be predicted that in order to avoid losses, he will have to continue to invest in biomass to spread the cost. Unless he can reach the bottom (kill the cunning boss), the limit downs will continue one after another until all the biomass earned from Octareus is lost.

This investment in biomass was not without effect, and Boss Slippery's orc fleet also suffered losses.

Some huge Tyranid bio-ships, relying on the thick carapace on their heads, managed to absorb several rounds of macro cannons and light spears from the Orcs even at the expense of their companions, and nailed their long fangs firmly into the Orc warships.

The Orc warship was not afraid of such close combat. The King Kong behind it raised its arms and first blew the Tyranid biological ship to pieces with the external missiles, and then fought back with the drills and power pliers on its arms.

But this time, unexpectedly, the Tyranid bio-ship was not simply blown to death or cut in half. Just as the drill of the King Kong had just penetrated its thick carapace and damaged the inside, the belly of the Tyranid bio-ship suddenly exploded, spraying a large amount of highly corrosive acid from inside.

The Tyranid bio-ship was dead, but the Ork warship was also corroded beyond recognition by the acid, with only half of the frame of the King Kong left.

Similar battles were taking place simultaneously on both sides of the Broken Space. A total of 200,000 Zerg fleets pressed the 50,000 Orc fleets of the Slippery Boss to attack, exchanging casualties in this desperate manner.

Once the broken space stabilizes, the attack surface will increase, and the pressure faced by the sly boss's orc fleet will increase.

Originally, according to the calculations of the Slippery Boss, his fleet was of higher quality, and with the Slippery Boss leading the way, it would not be a problem to defeat the Zerg fleet that was ten times larger than his own. However, the data told him that the exchange in the war was not as optimistic as he imagined.

On the screen in front of the sly boss, he saw with his own eyes a Tyranid bio-ship having half of its head shattered by a macro cannon shell. There was still a thick shell inside, and it was killed only after it pierced an orc cruiser with its fangs.

After being killed, acid also erupted and took the orc cruiser away.

Although this was an extreme case, it also told the Sly Boss that his plan was too optimistic. The combat effectiveness of his fleet was increasing rapidly, and so was the Great Devourer.

The Tyranids were already at the pinnacle of genetic technology, so it was not difficult for them to carry out targeted evolution in order to deal with the Screw Clan.

"The casualties ratio is 1 to 10... It's not optimistic. Moreover, many of the casualties are caused by the acid of the Tyranids, which corroded the warships' structures and cannot be repaired. If we continue to exchange casualties like this... My fleet is not enough to exchange casualties with the Tyranids."

The sly boss was talking to himself while thinking of a solution. He became calmer, unlike his own greenskins, who, after seeing so many bugs, all thought that the sly boss was too awesome, and he was so waaagh in the first battle.

These happy greenskins can fight heartlessly because someone is carrying the burden for them. For example, Brother Gomao protects their souls so that they will not be corrupted by the warp; for example, Boss Slippery is thinking about how to win the battle instead of being eaten by bugs as biomass.

After looking at the star map of Octaria, the sly boss came up with a plan. The outermost planet is Ork 5. This planet is basically inhabited by insects, and the biomass has been harvested. It is basically a dead planet.

To the bugs, this planet is of little value, but to the greens, the minerals on it are necessary materials for continuing the war.

After calculating the time, the Star God Crusher Cannon is about to cool down.

After drawing a circle on the star map, the sly boss ordered the entire fleet: "All dimensional cannons, prepare, aim at the area I marked and fire."

In the Orc fleet, the battleships equipped with dimensional cannons turned around and aimed at the right side of the fleet.

The Great Devourer also immediately discovered this problem, and began to disperse his biological ships at a speed that was incomprehensible to mortals.

The biological ships that were originally crowded together in an assault formation were now rigorously arranged into square formations with the same distances, ready to meet the Screw Clan's range attack.

Due to emergency avoidance, although the bombardment of the Dimension Cannon led by the Slippery Boss caused a larger area of ​​space tearing, the number of Tyranid biological warships killed was much less than the first time.

The corner of the sly boss' mouth slightly raised. The dimensional cannon was just a test attack. The purpose of the Tyranids was to avoid damage, causing the fleet on the other side to be too dense.

The Star God Crusher Cannon, which had been prepared, immediately sprayed out destructive light under the operation of the slippery boss. The dense formation was just right for a chain reaction.

Chapter 269: Brother's Super Big Face

The golden-green light swept past, and the gene chain collapse reaction began again. A large number of Tyranid biological ships were affected by the chain collapse reaction and turned into dust. The results were better than the dimensional cannon salvo.

But...it didn't work out as the sly boss imagined. The Great Devourer was well prepared to kill all the Tyranid bio-ships at once.
