Chapter 37: The Evolution of Metal Organs
The airdropped sporangia landed on the flesh-and-blood foundation across the continent one after another. The sporangia trembled and then burst open, and countless Tyranid creatures rushed out.
Under the command of Tyranid node creatures, they began to systematically surround Taiyue and others. Tyranid warriors and knife bugs used sickle claws to fight in close combat, while biochemical cannon bugs and gun bugs fired spore mines and flesh-eating worms from a distance.
"Everyone holds the formation and uses the environment and terrain to defend!"
Tai Yue ordered that he had joined other brothers at this moment. The chitin carapace here grew irregularly and could be used as a temporary shelter.
The Ninth Brother's Astartes immediately adopted a defensive formation. The Dreadnoughts formed a circle, with the Terminator brothers inside. They waved power fists, thunder hammers, halberds and other melee weapons to attack the enemy.
In the face of stronger psychic interference, Jerome still insisted on using psychic power. The psychic barrier intercepted the Tyranids' long-range firepower, and the psychic flames burned the flesh and blood bodies of the Tyranids.
The overwhelming Tyranid creatures continued to join the battlefield and soon surrounded them. Fierce battles and sacrifices were staged in a small area.
The Terminator armor and Dreadnought mecha of some brothers were quickly penetrated or corroded, and the melee weapons in their hands were also destroyed, but they still fought.
"For the Emperor and the Imperium of Mankind, we will fight until death!"
They let out a piercing roar, and with the consciousness of dying in battle, they activated the metal cells to form metal claws, and began to tear apart the Tyranid creatures with their hands.
The formation of Thunderhawk gunships that had previously stayed outside the psychic lighthouse also rushed to the battlefield. These Thunderhawk gunships faced the airdropped sporangia and Tyranid flying troops in the sky, unable to hover for even a second to pick up everyone. The Cygnus Machine Soul You can only control the turret to attack the enemy crazily.
The corpses of the Tyranid ground troops kept piling up, and the remains of the flying troops kept falling. Soon, a crater of corpses was formed in front of the Ninth Brotherhood.
The fleshy mountain was completely covered by the acid mist released by the dead Tyranid creatures. Only sporadic metallic luster penetrated the acid mist, which were ceramic shards and silver limbs covered with blood.
Tyranx turned into Shura at this moment. The power sword in his right hand, the gravity blade and servo arm in his left hand, and the long-range weapons on the mechanical tentacles ruthlessly harvested Tyranids, killing hundreds of Tyranids in less than half an hour. biology.
The high-intensity battle and the ubiquitous acid eventually caused Taiyue's power armor to fall apart, and the Hive Tyrant's skull and bone sword fixed on the mechanical tentacles also fell to the ground.
His power sword's energy supply dropped after constant slashing, and it could only be temporarily turned off. The number of times the gravity blade can be used is limited. Tai Yue now has no weapons available!
"For the Emperor!"
Tai Yue activated the mechanical heart with all his strength and became a silver giant more than three meters tall. Like an ancient knight wearing silver armor, he waved his hands that turned into sharp blades and began to use metal cells to kill the Tyranids like the other brothers.
The sharp blades and armor made of metal cells were constantly being broken and torn apart by the Tyranids. This feeling was as painful as being beaten by Ling Chi.
Tai Yue did not give up, but used his steel-like will to constantly reorganize the metal cells and continue to hunt the Tyranids!
"Do you need my power?"
Phoenix's disguised 'servo head' left the disintegrated power armor. She came to Taiyue and asked after hesitating for a while.
Her body is currently standing on top of the 'Quality Mechanism' in the high-dimensional ark, her brows furrowed and her body trembling slightly.
Although Phoenix was worried that using her power would reveal her existence, and that the evil god Tzeentch would ruin all her plans once he discovered it, she was more worried about Taiyue dying here at the moment.
As long as Taiyue asked herself, she decided to release the material-generated power of the 'Quality Agency' to crush the planet and the endless swarm of insects that landed on the planet.
Tai Yue shook his head. As the battle progressed, he discovered that metal cells could replace the weapons of Tyranids and generate liquid metal versions of mechanical weapons, which may be more powerful than the original Tyranid symbiotic weapons!
The 'Servo Head' floated into the distance, and its extended mechanical tentacles picked up the Hive Tyrant's head and bone sword that fell on the ground. The 'Servo Head' then floated back and handed the head and bone sword to Taiyue.
Taiyue immediately used metal cells to devour the skull and bone sword. In the process of analyzing the structure of the two, the mechanical heart obtained the defensive armor and melee weapons that Tiamat's hive fleet had evolved through.
The metal cells on his left hand form a long and narrow shield, the 'Tyrant's Shield', with stripes of Tyranid chitin skull on the front. Its internal complex structure comes from the head armor of the Hive Tyrant, facing the enemy in different forms. Energy or kinetic energy attacks, the Tyrant Shield can even constantly reorganize its internal structure to intercept any enemy attacks.
In his right hand is a long sword, the Tyrant's Sword, which has stronger cutting and piercing capabilities than the single-molecule bone sword of the Hive Tyrant. Since the metal cells have their own negative energy in the subspace, he can seal the subspace after piercing the enemy. Easily kill Tyranid node creatures!
"For humanity!"
Taiyue's roar spread throughout the battlefield, and his voice came out through the metal cells. It also contained the negative energy field of the subspace, directly interfering with the spiritual connection of nearby Tyranid creatures.
He then rushed towards the Tyranids on the battlefield. The hole left by the executioner's sickle claw on the Tyrant's Shield was quickly restored. The biological plasma of the ion cannon worm was bounced off by the Tyrant's Shield. The psychic arrows of the brain worm missed the Tyrant's Shield and only scattered arcs, while Taiyue's Tyrant's Sword directly pierced the head of the Tyranids.
Jerome also fully mastered the use of the spirit bone generation organ in the battle. The spirit bone generation organ is now like a valve to monitor the subspace energy and a collar to resist psychic interference.
When Jerome's psychic sorcery is disturbed, the spirit bone generation organ will temporarily block the external subspace energy flow to eliminate interference, and the spirit bones in his body will further strengthen the psychic power and release more powerful psychic sorcery.
When the psychic sorcery has a great risk of failure and serious consequences, the spirit bone generation organ will close the subspace channel to prevent the psychic out of control from harming himself and his allies.
Jerome skillfully released a mental shock, disrupting the psychic connection between nearby Tyranids and node creatures. A large number of Tyranids fell into chaos and were then turned into charcoal by psychic lightning.
Everyone's energy is limited. Endless Tyranids consumed the strength of the two. Intestinal worms and tearing worms took the opportunity to come and recycle biomass. More Tyranids broke out of their shells in the hatching nest in the distance.
