Chapter 1035: I Don't Know Who They Are

Just at this moment, that giant Psionic Scorpion Zerg sensed a great threat from these newly appeared "Flame Warriors," let out a shrill hiss, and the green crystal on its head lit up once more, re-condensing a Psionic Pressure Field and summoning more Zerg guards.

However, facing this Psionic Suppression that was enough to plunge the White Scars assault squad into a desperate situation, those fifty Flame Warriors... showed no reaction.

The Space Marine leading them had the flames burning in his helmet's eye lenses flare even brighter; he raised a hand burning with fire and waved it forward.

The encroaching Psionic Pressure Field, upon contacting the Psionic Halo naturally radiating from the bodies of these Flame Warriors, instantly dissolved and evaporated!

Immediately following, those bugs constantly surging out from the surrounding flesh walls, which bore Psionic Patterns on their carapaces, began to have those Psionic Patterns dim and extinguish as they approached within a certain range of the Flame Warriors!

Then, their carapaces melted and burned!

The crimson Psionic Flame ignored physical defenses, burning them directly from the essence of their lives!

"The Emperor protects..."

The White Scars Space Marine carrying a Flamer whispered again.

"They... they are burning these Aliens to nothing! Not even their souls remain!"

That giant Psionic Scorpion Zerg abandoned its long-range Psionic Attack, brandished its pair of massive Psionic Scythes, and charged toward the formation of Flame Space Marines!

Facing the charge of the giant Psionic Scorpion Zerg, the Flame Warriors shifted their formation, and the warriors in the front row raised their Bolters, which were burning with flames.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Volleys of crimson Psionic Flame Bullets flew out!

These flame bullets bombarded the giant Psionic Scorpion Zerg's carapace, its appendages, and the massive green crystal on its head!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Psionic Flame exploded on the Scorpion Zerg, the Scorpion Zerg's carapace melted in the fire, and its Psionic Shield was as if it did not exist.

The crystal on its head, after being hit by several flame bullets in succession.

"Crack... Pop!"

Accompanied by a crisp shattering sound, that green Psionic Crystal burst apart!

The violent psionic energy contained within lost its restraint and exploded, blowing away nearly half of the Scorpion Zerg's head!

The Scorpion Zerg's body crashed to the ground, burned into a pile of massive wreckage.

From the appearance of these Flame Warriors to the giant Psionic Scorpion Zerg being thoroughly purged, the entire process likely took no more than 15 seconds.

Kurgan and his White Scars warriors watched all of this, dumbfounded.

Easy, too easy!

After resolving the giant Psionic Scorpion Zerg, the leading Flame Warrior turned his head and "looked" at Kurgan and the others with those burning eye lenses.

Kurgan clearly felt a thought.

"Follow, or stay."

Then, the lead warrior turned his head back and pointed his arm forward.

The fifty Flame Warriors immediately moved.

They did not pay attention to Ulton's unconscious body on the ground, nor did they engage in any communication with the White Scars Space Marines, maintaining a strict formation as they charged along the pulsating fleshy conduits toward the core of the Insect Hive Mother Ship!

Wherever they passed, crimson Psionic Flame spread.

The wriggling fleshy conduits were ignited, and any Zerg unit that crawled out from the flesh walls was Devoured and purged by the flames before it had even fully appeared.

The members of the White Scars assault squad stood where they were, looking at each other, for a moment not knowing what to do.

"Company Commander...?"

A White Scars Space Marine spoke tentatively.

"What... what do we do now?"

"What else can we do?"

Company Commander Kurgan said in a tone mixed with absurdity, relief, and extreme curiosity, as he sheathed his Power Spear.

"Do you want to stay in this stinking hellhole and wait for the next wave of Aliens to find us?"

Kurgan walked to Ulton's side, checked him, and said.

"Ulton is only unconscious! Qiaolin, Lal, you two are responsible for carrying Ulton! Everyone else, check your weapons and follow those... uh..."

Kurgan paused, truly unable to think of what to call those burning warriors.

"... those 'Flame Friends'! Quick! Don't let them steal all the glory! This is our White Scars assault!"

The two less-injured White Scars Space Marines lifted the unconscious Ulton, while the others seized the time to follow that "Purification Vanguard" ahead, moving quickly along the safe passage carved out by the Psionic Flame.

"Company Commander, who exactly are they? Which Legion? How have I never heard of Space Marines wearing burning Power Armor?"

Kurgan shook his head and said over the communication channel.

"I don't know, Solak. I don't know who they are."

"But, to be able to appear in a place like this, in such a way, using such... holy flames to purge these Alien filth... other than the Emperor's will, I cannot think of any other explanation."

"Perhaps, it was Ulton's will that received a response. The Emperor... has never abandoned his loyal warriors."

This mysterious legion swept away the appearing Aliens with overwhelming force.

"Fine, no matter who they are, at least... they helped a lot. Seriously, I thought we were going to go see the Emperor together just now."

"Shut your beak, Solak! Save some strength to run faster! Don't let the 'Emperor's private cleaning crew' think we White Scars can't keep up with their speed!"

Along that passage carved out by crimson flames, Kurgan and the others were advancing at full speed.

"Look ahead!"

A White Scars Space Marine pointed to the front of the passage.

Crimson psionic flashes were constantly lighting up at the end of the passage.

Baruke said while running.

"It's those 'Flame Angels,' they are simply like a red-hot knife cutting into butter! I bet they haven't even broken a sweat!"

"Focus, Baruke!"

"Yes! Company Commander!"

That mysterious legion was advancing at an astonishing speed, and the power they displayed had already completely exceeded the scope of understanding of conventional Astartes monks.

Deep within the core of the Insect Hive Mother Ship.

A massive chamber wrapped in countless writhing pipes and glowing sarcomas, resembling a deformed heart.

This was the Command Node of the Mother Ship, a terrifying organ that integrated biological computation, psychic amplification, and the unification of will.

This vast consciousness clearly perceived those fifty "foreign objects" rampaging inside the Mother Ship.

They were not like the Metal Giants that had intruded before; although those giants were powerful, they were still within the scope of understanding of biological weapons.

But these newly appeared beings, burning with flames... they were completely different.

The energy they radiated was pure and scorching.

The Zerg units mobilized to intercept them, whether they were the physically formidable Heavy Hammer Bugs or the Pattern Bugs skilled in Psychic Suppression, had their life signals vanish completely the moment they touched those crimson flames.

Biomass was directly decomposed, and psychic connections were brutally torn apart and purified.
