Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

The furious Cassius, driven by his Iron Knight Terminator Armor, unleashed an unprecedented roar.

Deep blue electric arcs leaped on the Thunder Hammer, crackling and ionizing the air he passed through, leaving a scorching trail.

His eyes held only the monster that had just slaughtered his comrades.

Target, within reach!

However, just as he was about to charge before that monster.

The purple-red giant beast, which had just withdrawn its claws from the Terminator wreckage, fiercely turned its head.

Dozens of scarlet compound eyes neatly locked onto the charging Cassius.

Reflected in the compound eyes were the green outline of the Iron Knight armor, the leaping electric arcs, and the deep blue eyes burning with anger beneath Cassius's helmet.

Multi-eyed (Lena has more eyes) relative.

At the instant their gazes met, Cassius's mind was struck as if by a silent thunderclap!

"The probability of death is..."

"100%!"

The words spoken by Sage Sailes in a mechanical voice suddenly exploded in the deepest part of his consciousness!

And the image kept repeating in his mind.

Could the monster before him be the "Death Messenger" revealed by the God of All Machines, destined to bring him his end?

Fear?

No.

He did not know what fear was.

Even facing a death ending confirmed one hundred percent by prophecy.

But Cassius's charge did not stagnate in the slightest, nor did it produce even the faintest arc of change.

Fated death? Then let it come!

His Thunder Hammer had already been raised, all the power armor's energy poured into this decisive blow!

He would smash her disgusting head with the Thunder Hammer, even at the cost of mutual destruction!

However.

Reality is always more absurd than any drama.

In the instant before Cassius, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, was about to collide most violently with Lena's massive body.

"Whoosh!"

The pair of huge purple-red wing membranes behind Lena suddenly flapped!

The lift from the wings made her rise into the air instantly.

"Swish!"

Cassius's reckless charge, carrying the power of thunder and ten thousand jun, struck only a residual image and the fishy wind stirred by the wing membranes!

Cassius stumbled forward a step, the huge inertia nearly making him lose his balance.

He fiercely steadied himself, and for the first time an expression of near "astonishment" appeared on his face beneath the helmet.

She dodged?

Even more chilling to his heart was that the airborne Lena's ice-cold compound eyes did not linger on him for long.

She merely "glanced" at him from above, and that gaze seemed to carry contempt.

She remembered Lin En's warning.

"Priority kill those green canned goods and other mortals covered in ranged weapons.

Those canned goods with shield hammers, especially that bald head, do not deal with them first."

Although Cassius was still wearing his helmet at this moment, the signature "Iron Halo" behind him, which slightly distorted light.

Still allowed Lena to recognize him.

Thus, an extremely strange scene appeared on the battlefield.

A terrifying flying giant beast powerful enough to massacre Terminators, like a top-tier predator playing with prey.

Began to circle, dive, and swoop over the entire Son of Medusa position.

Her target was clear and deadly: those Space Marines who had broken formation.

Those Inquisition Army troops operating heavy weapons without protection.

She was swift as electricity, every dive bringing a shrill wind sound.

She was agile as a ghost, always able to find the weakest gap in the dense firepower net.

Her deadly Rending Claws and Biological Plasma Cannon were simply a nightmare for targets lacking protection.

And what made the Sons of Medusa feel most powerless was.

She could fly!

Whenever Cassius roared, trying to lead other mobile Iron Knight Terminators or warriors using Jump Packs to encircle her.

Whenever an Inquisition Army Preacher Vanguard raised a Taser Fork, trying to launch a self-destruct charge.

Lena could always rely on the amazing mobility provided by those huge wing membranes to suddenly rise and turn at the critical moment.

Like a slippery loach, she easily evaded all encirclement and locking on.

Then, tracing an elegant and deadly arc through the air, she lunged toward another target.

"Open fire! Focus fire on her!"

"She went left!"

"Watch out above!"

The communication channel was filled with angry, anxious, and even desperate shouts.

A rain of bullets and energy beams chased that purple-red shadow, weaving a web of death in the air.

A large quantity of firepower poured onto Lena, explosive rounds blasted open, energy beams scorched, indeed leaving numerous scars on her strange purple-red carapace.

But this damage was far from reaching a lethal degree.

Lena's carapace seemed to possess an astonishing regeneration ability, or those seemingly severe outer damages never touched the core.

Even more infuriating was that whenever she suffered a round of denser firepower, with obvious damage to her carapace.

She would not flee, but instead land near the corpse of a certain Astartes.

"Pfft!" The rending claw easily tore open the power armor, dragging out the flesh inside together.

Giving Cassius a live performance of "open can and eat."

These enhanced warriors flowing with demigod genes were, to Lena, the finest biomass.

Protein is eighty times that of beef, and you can eat it just by twisting off the head.

"Beast!!!" Cassius's eyes were about to split, watching another warrior being torn apart and devoured amidst shrill shrieks.

He chased madly, the thunder hammer smashing all Bug Race blocking the way, the storm shield knocking back the Knife Worm tide attempting to intercept.

But he was always toyed with by Lena in the palm of her hand.

At this moment, he felt he was an incompetent captain.

But in this suffocating despair, Cassius's brain, like a precise logic processor.

Was still operating madly, capturing every abnormal detail.

He noticed that Lena was actually also attacked by other "fellows" on the battlefield.

Bone spurs shot out, acid was spat, and even once, a Warrior Bug swung its bone blade trying to chop the low-flying Lena.

And Lena's response was clean and decisive.

She made a sharp turn, swinging her rending claw through the air, directly tearing that Warrior Bug's head along with half its chest into pieces!

Within the Tyranids, for efficiency, high-level units crushing low-level cannon fodder blocking the way is not rare.

But two node creatures engaging in such clean mutual killing is absolutely abnormal!

The Hive Mind would not allow such meaningless internal consumption, unless... they do not belong to the same will's command!

"Abnormal Node Alpha..."

Cassius's lips under his helmet opened and closed soundlessly, a cold realization flashing through his deep blue eyes.
