Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

Mechanical shrieks rang out incessantly.

The last Sikarian Infiltrator was bisected at the waist by a sharp chitin scythe, blood splattering against an invisible wall.

"One versus seven" still maintained that same dust-free, composed demeanor.

The Tyranid Beast slowly retracted its forelimb, and its five-meter-tall body instantly vanished.

Only Lin En could see her flawless features clearly.

Her armor's surface flowed with an ice-crystal gloss, every chitin plate so fluid, so elegant.

The enhanced brain-like organ on her head emitted a faint blue glimmer; icy eyes swept across the battlefield, and wherever her gaze passed—

Whether charging Inquisition Army soldiers or Green Skin Kids in the melee, all instinctively halted their footsteps, bodies turning cold.

The oppressive pressure was in no way inferior to Giant Foot·Sis.

Lin En stood in the shadow cast by the Giant Beast, fingertips lightly stroking his chin, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

As early as half a month ago, watching Sis's ever-growing psychic power and thinking of Chandler who was about to unlock the Mecha Secret Treasure,

he had still figured out a truth: in this mad Warhammer 40,000 universe, top-tier individual might is the fundamental decider of everything.

After all, this is a "Pseudo-Xuanhuan" world where individual great power can be elevated to unimaginable heights.

No amount of cannon fodder, no matter how exquisite the layout, before a master they are all mere ants that can be crushed with a casual pinch.

Moreover, he holds the trump card of the Tyranids; what he lacks least is cannon fodder.

As long as there is sufficient Biomass, he can hatch hundreds of millions of Knife Worms in a single night.

But top-tier combat power that can crush same-level powerhouses is something one can only encounter by chance, not seek.

Even if he now summoned Lena's Main Body, the "Frost Dragon," from distant Brevis,

once facing opponents of Sis's or Chandler's caliber, they would likely not fare well either.

He hesitated no longer, calling up the pale-pink System Panel in his mind.

On the panel, Lena's Affection Level stood prominently at 75 points, two sparkling Skill Points hovering in the system's upper-right corner.

Lin En tapped a fingertip, unhesitatingly dumping both Skill Points into the Individual Line.

【Ding! Individual Enhancement Branch broken through to Level 5!】

【Unlocked Passive Skill: Insect Crown】

【System Reward: Three Directed Evolutions】

The instant the System Prompt sounded, a vast power from beyond the heavens rushed into Lena's body.

The first passive skill "Insect Crown" has a simple, brutal effect.

Lena's Main Body's all attributes will be directly proportional to the Bug Swarm's total scale; this amplification is an independent multiplicative zone with no growth cap.

For ease of tallying, Lin En had long ago designated a base measurement unit called "Hive Cluster" for the Bug Swarm.

One standard Hive Cluster, with sufficient Biomass, can hatch and control at most one million lowest-tier Tyranid Units.

And currently Lena's Bug Swarm has already completed full expansion on Dead World-B.

Plus Bug Swarms in other places, the scale has already broken through ten thousand Hive Clusters.

The theoretical total troop ceiling has reached a terrifying ten billion low-tier Tyranid Units.

This power converging the will of a hundred billion Bug Race directly granted Lena a 200% all-attribute amplification.

It may not look exaggerated, but the terror of this skill lies in the independent multiplicative zone and unlimited growth.

This means all of Lena's future evolutions and enhancements will multiply with the Insect Crown's amplification, not add to it.

When the Bug Swarm expands to a hundred thousand Hive Clusters, a million Hive Clusters in the future, this amplification will reach an unimaginable degree.

Equivalent to buying Lena's future a reinforcement insurance policy that never expires.

But unfortunately, the Individual Line's combat power enhancement can only act on one individual carrying Lena's Main Body consciousness at a time.

Lin En gave it a when-in-Rome name — "Tyranid God's Chosen".

And this blue-white Giant Beast before him is the current Tyranid God's Chosen.

Named "Lena Dahan".

As the last of the twenty-four solar terms, signifying that severe winter has arrived, all things lie dormant.

All enemies blocking their path will meet destruction.

The second skill is three precious Directed Evolution opportunities.

This time, Lin En did not pursue fancy tricks or attempt any strange modifications.

He directly chose the Tyranids' most perfect, most top-tier Combat Unit template.

Norn Emissary!

It possesses ultimate survivability.

With a physique similar to a Hive Tyrant, its whole body is covered in ultra-dense chitin armor that can tank direct Macro Cannon hits.

And its cell division speed is tens of thousands of times that of ordinary Tyranid Units; even if half its body is blasted apart, it can complete regeneration in dozens of seconds.

Simultaneously possessing extremely high Psyker Resistance and blocking all pain sensation.

Equivalent to full-time high damage reduction + self-contained super-strong recovery damage sponge + full-time super-armor.

If it merely had strong survivability, it would naturally not count as the strongest Tyranid Unit.

Its sharp chitinous giant blades can easily tear through the Poison Blade Tank's armor, instantly killing the Imperial Guard.

Simultaneously awakened the complete Tyranid psyker system, able to use almost all Tyranid psyker means.

And, the Norn Emissary's positioning belongs to an assassin.

Therefore, they possess speed and flexibility extremely unfitting for a massive five-meter-tall body and heavy armor.

It can pass through narrow ventilation pipes like air, and walk on vertical walls as if on flat ground.

Even able to briefly levitate in midair with the aid of psyker means, achieving an elusive effect.

Although the current Lena Dahan is merely a "beggar version" Norn Emissary.

Still not reaching the level of a true Norn Emissary.

But dealing with the current enemies on Kal II is already more than sufficient.

From the moment Lena Dahan appeared, Luna noticed her existence.

When her gaze fell upon Lena Dahan, a bone-deep chill instantly rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

As a Yi Su sorcerer, her perception of psyker power far surpasses others.

She could feel that around that blue-white giant beast coiled an utterly pure devouring will.

It came from the Tyranid Bug Race, the greed and coldness to turn all biomass in the entire Galaxy into their own.

Even sitting inside a fifteen-meter-tall Knight Mecha, while simultaneously possessing Chaos Power bestowed by Yi Su.

She still had a strong sense of unease that she might be torn apart and devoured at any moment.

Even more baffling to her was that the surrounding Green Skins, not a single one launched an attack at this suddenly appeared Bug Race giant beast.

They not only didn't attack, but quite a few Naruto and Evil Sun Clan Grots, upon seeing Lena, immediately put down the weapons in their hands.

Bowed respectfully to her, slammed their fists against their chests, then raised them high above their heads, mouths muttering prayers.

Even a few Evil Sun Grots hit by stray bullets, while collapsing on the ground twitching, chanted toward Lena's direction:

"Adult Yi Yi Yi Da Han protect me, let me run faster next time......"
