Although he received no answer, Cassius was no fool.

The moment he asked that question, he had already connected all the clues in his mind.

He understood.

A complex emotion, mixed with something indescribable, surged in his chest.

"Illogical..." Cassius muttered softly, a voice only he could hear.

But Cassius had no time to continue investigating these matters; countless xenos awaited purification before him.

Although the other executioner was slightly smaller in size, its ferocity was in no way diminished.

Two Iron Knight Terminators were circling it, relying on exquisite coordination and fire support from the rear to barely hold back the giant beast's pace.

But they all knew that relying on the thunder hammers in their hands made it very difficult to kill it.

They had to buy enough time for the heavy firepower in the rear to kill it.

Cassius took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the complex emotions surging in his chest.

Power armor damage alarms flickered at the edge of his vision, but he ignored them.

He moved.

The Iron Knight Terminator Armor erupted with astonishing speed once more, like a green bolt of lightning, cutting into the battlefield.

The Thunder Hammer, carrying all the power it had accumulated, slammed upward from below, fiercely striking the executioner's relatively weak right rear limb joint!

"Crack!"

The sound was dull, accompanied by a clear cracking of carapace!

The executioner let out a hiss mixed with pain and violent anger, its massive body tilting sharply to the right!

"Coordinate with me! Restrict its movement!" Cassius's ice-cold voice rang out on the tactical frequency.

"Received, Sergeant!" The two Iron Knight Terminators instantly understood his intent.

The three quickly changed positions, forming an irregular triangle, surrounding the injured executioner in the middle.

With Cassius as the main force, drawing the executioner's primary firepower.

The other two Terminators circled at its side, helping Cassius distract the executioner's attention.

A group of three was the standard combination for a Terminator squad carrying out a mission.

Without too many words between them, every attack, every footstep movement, every weapon swing trajectory formed a precise coordination network.

Simultaneously, the pressure on the rear line did not lessen, but firepower distribution became more efficient.

A firepower net formed by the Inquisition Army, Invincible Terminators, Lander Raiders, and Dune Crawlers.

They began to consciously divide and guide the surging insect tide.

They drove the bug swarm into relatively narrow areas, or used terrain and firepower to create "dense zones" where the swarm had to cluster.

Then, several specially modified Demolition Servitors.

Marching with stiff but determined steps, they left the relatively safe line and rushed toward those swarm dense zones.

Their shells were painted with conspicuous red danger markings, and loaded in their chests were not ordinary explosives.

But "Omnissium Pressurized Bombs" specially prepared by the Machine Cult Sage.

This kind of bomb used extremely high-purity liquid Promethium Fuel, combined with special oxidizers and catalysts.

When exploding, it would not produce a large-scale shockwave, but would instantly form a blue ultra-high-temperature sea of fire with temperatures high enough to vaporize steel!

"For Omnissiah!"

Amidst the low prayers of the Preacher Vanguards, the Demolition Servitors rushed into the densest part of the bug swarm.

"Boom... hum!"

There was no deafening roar, only a dull sound as if the air was instantly sucked dry and then violently expanded.

Immediately, a piercing pale blue radiance burst forth within the bug swarm!

Where the radiance reached, Knife Worms, Tearing Worms, and some Gun Worms did not even have time to shriek.

Carapace and flesh were directly vaporized and carbonized in temperatures of thousands of degrees!

Leaving behind charred traces emitting green smoke.

"Concentrated purification," significant effect.

Large numbers of low-level Tyranid Units were cleared, relieving immense pressure on the line.

Several Warrior Bugs responsible for command were also slain under the dense firepower net.

The situation seemed to be developing in a favorable direction.

The siege by Cassius's trio was also entering its final stage.

Under precise coordination and continuous heavy firepower strikes, the smaller executioner was already covered in scars.

Carapace at multiple joints ruptured, seeping sticky green body fluid, its movements noticeably sluggish.

Cassius seized an opportunity, dodging a sweeping scythe strike.

His whole body borrowed momentum to spin, the Thunder Hammer tracing a perfect arc.

With all his strength and the full bonuses of the Power Armor, he fiercely smashed toward the side of the executioner's hideous head!

If this blow landed, it would absolutely inflict heavy injury on this executioner.

However, just as the Thunder Hammer was about to strike!

"Boom rumble rumble rumble!!!"

The entire Nest suddenly shook violently!

The shaking did not come from an explosion or impact, but from something deeper and more primal, as if the Earth itself was awakening, roaring!

But Cassius would not make a mistake because of these interferences.

The Thunder Hammer still struck the Executioner's head heavily and precisely.

The terrifying electromagnetic pulse combined with terrifying kinetic energy caused that Executioner to lose contact with the Hive Mind the moment it was struck.

It began to wobble, nearly falling several times.

Cassius did not rush to finish it off, but looked toward the Depths of the Nest.

"Finally, it has come." Cassius's Heart sank.

"All units, pay attention! Highest Threat Target Appeared! According to the predetermined Solution, prepare to engage!"

As if to prove his words.

"Pfft!!!"

A muffled sound like a giant airbag bursting came from the Core Area!

Immediately, a thick biochemical poison mist surged and spread from that direction like a volcanic eruption!

Wherever the poison mist passed, even the air emitted a "hiss hiss" corrosion sound.

And in the depths of the turbulent poison mist, an unimaginably huge Shadow slowly stood up.

"Roar——————!!!"

An indescribable Roar penetrated the poison mist, penetrated the Roaring of the explosion, penetrated the soundproof layer of the Power Armor.

Directly piercing everyone's eardrums, even as if it wanted to drill into the Soul Depths!

The poison mist was blown away a little by the gale brought by that figure's movement, and dim light penetrated the turbid air with difficulty.

Finally, barely outlining the Monster's silhouette.

It was a terrifying giant twenty meters tall!

Its appearance combined insects, crustacean Creatures, and some twisted thing from a Nightmare.

Thick, layer upon layer Chitinous Carapace covered its whole body, presenting an ominous deep purple.

Covered with various Bone Spurs and Tentacles, protecting its huge Green Skin Body.

Most striking was that pair of enormous Biological Cannons on its forelimbs.

And the green mist drifting constantly from the gaps in the Carapace, containing deadly Ji Zu.

One of the Tyranids' ground Ultimate units, a terrifying Existence matching the Empire's Titan—the Insect Saint!
