"Not good, Captain! A large number of Gene Thieves have appeared on the Lower Deck."

"A Commander is leading a horde of mutants charging up."

"They definitely want to seize control while we're in chaos, these damn Xenos!"

"Gene Thieves? They must have already been lurking on the Xian Ge Hao." Otto screamed.

"What on earth is going on?! Dark Eldar, Chaos Great Enemy, and now even the Bug Race's lackeys have come?"

Isud was already powerless to be angry or afraid; she only felt it was ridiculous, too ridiculous.

Her wealth and ambition, and this carefully planned Brevis trip, now seemed like a huge joke.

Kaili's eyes were hollow, muttering to himself: "It's over, it's all over, Emperor..."

The Dark Eldar's massacre, the Tzeentch Demon's strange laughter, the Ogryn's furious roar, the Gene Thieves' hissing, and the humans' reckless charges.

Made the entire Xian Ge Hao a mess.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the fierce internal slaughter, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

A "Wanderer-class Merchant Ship" with a strange shape, its surface covered in writhing flesh and chitinous carapace.

Was silently approaching this chaotic Pilgrim-class Transport Ship.

The bridge of the Purple Crystal Hao, if that chamber filled with organic vessels and nerve nodes could be called a bridge.

Lin En stood before the observation window, the corner of his mouth curving into an excited arc.

His eyes reflected the flickering explosion firelight in the distance.

"It really is lively; it seems this ship is indeed a treasure trove."

Lin En at this moment did not know the situation on the Xian Ge Hao, but he was certain there were definitely many good things up there.

He stroked Lena, who was almost completely pressed against his body.

Her huge body occupied the entire Captain's Seat, her purple-red carapace reflecting flowing light under the biological fluorescence.

Her compound eyes flashed with a hungry red light.

"Are you all ready?" Lin En asked.

Lena emitted a short, low hissing sound, and an affirmative response came through her consciousness.

She had long since locked onto the target through the sensory organs scattered on the exterior of the Purple Crystal Hao.

"Very good." Lin En took a deep breath, his eyes filled with greed.

"Activate all Spore Pod Launchers!

Target, that transport ship and those pirates' airships!"

Leaving the bridge with Lena, Lin En also wanted to join this grand party.

"Boarding! Boarding!"

Lin En's voice echoed inside the biological bridge, carrying long-suppressed fanaticism.

He and Lena had been bored on the ship for too long; now they finally had some fun.

On the hideous hull of the Purple Crystal Hao, dozens of tumor-like bulging organs suddenly contracted and swelled.

Spore sacs, constantly pulsing and filled with surging life inside, were sprayed out like cannonballs.

These spore pods traced strange arcs, some directly adsorbing onto the outer shell of the "Xian Ge Hao."

Others sinisterly attached themselves near the rear engines of the Dark Eldar intruder airships that the pirates used for boarding.

At the same time, a chitin-reinforced civilian transport airship was ejected from the side of the Purple Crystal Hao.

Lin En and Lena were inside it.

As purple flames from the bio-plasma thruster at the rear spouted out, the airship's speed kept increasing.

The target was an intruder airship that had just released Conspiracy Cultists and was preparing to withdraw to pick up the next batch.

The driver of that intruder airship, still immersed in the pleasure of slaughter, suddenly heard the cabin alarm sound.

On the screen monitoring the rear, a carapace-covered strange flying object was charging straight toward his thruster nozzle!

"What the hell?!" he roared in terror, trying to control the airship to dodge.

But it was too late.

"Why don't you look behind you?"

The biological airship Lin En was in, like a shark smelling blood, slammed hard into the rear of the intruder airship.

The Dark Eldar airship's already fragile rear structure completely deformed and broke under the violent impact.

Just as the impact occurred, those spore pods that had already adsorbed onto the target ruptured simultaneously.

Sticky acidic solution surged out like a waterfall, crazily corroding the hull of the Xian Ge Hao or the Eldar ship.

The sac walls tore open, and countless hideous figures crawled out from the acid mist and slime.

Warrior Bugs roared, Knife Worms waved their Bone Blades, Gun Worms raised their Biological Cannon barrels, and Tearing Worms emitted bloodthirsty hissing.

They had no complex tactics or formations, only the purest, most primal desire to devour and destroy.

Like a bursting purple tide, they instantly rushed into every opened gap inside the Xian Ge Hao.

Pouncing on every living creature they could see that could move.

This was also why Lin En bought the merchant ship; only a large enough capacity could hold his Bug Race army.

Who fights one-on-one when they can gang up?

Lin En leapt from the damaged bio-airship and stepped onto the pitted, acid-corroded deck of the Xian Ge Hao.

Lena stood "obediently" on Lin En's shoulder, the Thousand Changes Armor making her a shadow upon him.

This was a dual manifestation of psychic application and absolute control over one's own power.

"Begin, dear." Lin En patted Lena's ice-cold carapace and looked toward the front, where the passage was filled with killing everywhere.

The Lena on his shoulder emitted a terrifying psychic signal, declaring absolute control over the Bug Swarm.

At the same time, inside the Xian Ge Hao's Bridge, a large number of alarms were received regarding unidentified flying objects striking the hull, and a large number of unidentified creature signals rushing into the ship.

The Tzeentch Wizard, locked in melee with Ogryn in the Slum, suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his keen Psychic Vision.

He sensed a cold, greedy, immense will intervening in the Battlefield.

The Gene Thief Commander, commanding mutants near the Main Cargo Hold and attempting to seize power amid the chaos.

Also sensed the signal emitted by this different "Fellow."

And in the Xian Ge Hao Middle Zone Area, the Deputy Officer Pirate who had just broken through a Hatch and was enjoying the pleasure of killing.

Inside his helmet's Communication Device came the terrified report of his subordinate:

"Adult, a large number of Bug Race have appeared from who knows where!"

"They don't distinguish friend from foe, they bite anyone they see!"

All commanders still active on the Xian Ge Hao, from different factions.

At this moment, the same thought arose in their hearts without prior agreement.

"Damn it, more experts?"
