Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

The psychic storm surged in the center of the barrier, purple heat waves like rising tidal water, layer upon layer crashing against the surrounding dark blue ramparts.

Gu Yu's five fingers clamped tight around the hilt of the Spine Great Sword, the bone-jointed blade trembling faintly, emitting a deep humming,

like a ferocious beast that had slumbered for a thousand years finally awakening, every throb channeling rampaging power along her arm into her flesh and blood.

This was no ordinary Spirit Weapon.

From the moment they stepped into the Land of No Delay, the three Bishops following in the team had never been mere support units.

They were vessels, were sword bodies, the killing move Lena had specially prepared to slay Luna in formation.

The Nine-Sided Sealing Spirit Array could suppress the Collective Psychic Network, could isolate the Bug Swarm Will's long-range transmission.

It could detect high-intensity energy bodies, yet could not see through the Tyranids' most adept biological disguise.

Lena disassembled and reconstructed an entire Spine Great Sword carrying thirty percent of her Main Body's power, evenly splitting the core skeleton, Spirit Reserves, and amplification nodes.

Respectively embedding them into the bodies of the three Bishops, differentiating into three skeletons.

Separated, they were merely three fourth-generation Hybrid Bishops with slightly stronger psychic power, their aura no different from ordinary High-Rank Apostles, indistinguishable even to Tzeentch Wizards.

But once flesh and blood fused, three bodies becoming one, the prohibition hidden deep in the bones would unlock completely.

The entirety of the three Bishops' Biomass and psychic power would compress and temper in an instant, ultimately condensing into this Spine Great Sword over four meters long.

It was not an external object, but the continuation of three High-Rank Hybrids' lives, a blade Lena passed through the barrier into Gu Yu's hands!

Gu Yu, standing with sword in hand at this moment, her Spirit Energy Level was climbing at a terrifying speed.

A pale purple psychic halo overflowed from her whole body, transforming into substantial flame waves surging.

That aura had long since broken free of the "Chosen Construct" category, carrying an ancient, vast, oppressive sensation like the Bug Race Main Hive Will

momentarily breaking through to a Spirit Energy Level on par with the Frost Dragon Main Body.

Lena's Main Body now was no longer the frail Tyranid Warrior Bug that first arrived at Necromunda Hive City.

Nourished by the Dead World's Biomass, amplified by the Insect Crown's system, plus the evolution born of countless wars.

She had long since completed the leap from "single lifeform" to "composite Insect Nest core".

The Frost Dragon Main Body now possessed both the tyrannical body and Biomass production of a Flying Hive Tyrant, and the psychic control and consciousness command of a Brain Worm Tyrant,

plus the psychic precision far exceeding the Tyranids' conventional limits granted by the system.

Even just a clone's strike infused with equal-level power was enough to crush every living thing within this barrier.

"Roar!"

The two Chaos Knights blown back by the psychic heat waves had just steadied their frames when inhuman roars erupted from their chest cavities.

Chaos Runes on the mecha's outer shell blazed wildly, the corrupted Machine Spirits falling into frenzy under the infusion of Warp power.

The left-side Knight flipped its wrist, the Death God Chainsword reversing direction, saw teeth letting out a piercing shriek as it swept horizontally toward Gu Yu.

The right-side one bent its knee and sank its shoulder, electric arcs crackling and exploding on its Thunder Power Fist, carrying the weight of ten thousand jun as it smashed toward her head.

One left, one right, sealing off all dodging space.

The pilots of both Knight Mecha were Fallen Knights from a cadet branch of the Saint Galus Family, who had gained power far beyond ordinary men through dealings with Chaos.

And a single Knight Mecha's firepower and close combat ability alone were originally enough to frontally crush an entire Imperial Tank Company.

In Luna's original plan, these nine Knights were her confidence for conquering Saint Galus Castle.

But the next second, in their vision, the picture "lagged" for a beat.

Like an old projector dropping frames, the previous moment Gu Yu was still standing by the Sacrificial Altar over a dozen meters away, the next instant her figure simply translated forward several meters through empty air.

Not Teleportation, but the time flow rate around her had been forcibly distorted.

Borrowing the massive psychic power erupting from the Spine Great Sword, Gu Yu temporarily disturbed the local time rules within the barrier.

The barrier's overall hundredfold slowdown was still in effect, yet the time flow rate in this one-meter diameter zone around her had been pulled to several times that of the External World.

Under the offset of one fast and one slow, in others' eyes her movements were reduced to disjointed frame-by-frame actions.

Gu Yu stepped through the air, the air beneath her feet seeming to condense into substantial stairs.

She stepped one foot onto the sword spine of the Chainsword, the heavy saw teeth actually pressed down a notch by a single light step.

The second step landed on the fist face of the Power Fist, the crackling electric arcs freezing stagnant for half a second the moment they touched her sole.

Gray robes fluttered in the high-speed movement, four arms steadily gripping the Spine Great Sword, blade held level, edge facing forward.

No superfluous moves, no fancy Spirit Spells, just the simplest, purest single horizontal slash.

Yet this slash wrapped Lena Main Body-level psychic power, wrapped the total power three Bishops sacrificed their lives for, and even more wrapped the terrifying acceleration brought by distorted time.

"Hiss~!"

Light as the sound of a paper cutter slicing through rice paper.

A near-transparent Space Rift spread along the sword blade, where it passed the air was forcibly cut open, leaving long-lingering black Traces.

The two Chaos Knights' movements instantly froze.

They still maintained their attack starting poses, the Chainsword's saw teeth still rotating at high speed, the Power Fist's electric arcs still jumping.

Even the Chaos Runes on the mecha surfaces still shone with dark blue light.

Yet that Ion Shield Force Field originally able to withstand a Macro Cannon direct hit was like a sheet of thin paper before the sword blade, unable to put up even half a fraction of resistance.

The sword blade swept level across the cockpit positions of both mecha.

First a thread-thin red line appeared on the armor surface, then the red line rapidly widened, the cut smooth as if polished by a precision machine tool.

"Crack—Crash!"

The sound of metal breaking mixed with the sticky sound of flesh tearing rang out.

The upper half of the mecha slid down slowly along the cut, revealing the cockpit inside that was already beyond recognition.

Where inside was there still a normal human Driver?

The power of Chaos had long since completely fused the human and the mecha together.

Dark red flesh like tree roots filled the inner walls of the cockpit, the Driver's Green Skin Body grown together with the control stick, Neural Interface, and mecha skeleton.

Skin was a decaying grayish-blue, the chest bulged with dense pus sacs, the features had melted away, leaving only two cloudy eyeballs embedded in the flesh, still retaining an expression of shock.

Where the Spine Great Sword had slashed, flesh and metal broke together, dark green pus oozing out along the cut.

"Thud! Thud!"

The two halves of the mecha slammed heavily onto the ground, making two dull sounds.

The corrupted flesh inside the cockpit still twitched like a nerve reflex, but the soul belonging to the pilot.

Had already been completely annihilated by the Insect Swarm Will attached to the sword blade the moment the sword blade swept across.
