Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

Meanwhile, deep within a snow-covered mountain peak several hundred kilometers from the Main Hive.

There was a huge Ice Cave there, bottomless, with an interior space large enough to hold ten soccer fields.

This place was originally the nest of some Ice Original Giant Beast.

But now, the resident had changed.

Deep in the cave, in the darkness.

Dozens of pairs of eyes opened simultaneously.

Scarlet compound eyes emitted Ghost Light in the darkness.

Hum~, a low Spiritual Energy Tremor sounded.

Lena's Main Body, and her most elite Tyranid Units, awakened from slumber at the same time.

They felt the Summoning.

From, "his" Summoning.

Carrying anger and supreme Killing Intent, he needed them.

Outside the cave, all native creatures within a ten-kilometer radius felt a deadly threat at the same moment.

The Ice Beast packs stopped howling, tucked their tails, and fled into the distance.

White birds took flight in alarm from the nest, flapping their wings and disappearing into the wind and snow.

Even the blind worms hiding under the ice layer crazily burrowed deeper underground.

Instinct told them that the most terrifying Predator in this world had awakened.

Lena slowly stood up.

Her six-meter-tall Green Skin Body looked especially huge in the Ice Cave, her Carapace rubbing against Ice Blocks, emitting a piercing scraping sound.

Blue-green Chitinous Armor gleamed with a metallic Gloss, those reinforced armors now slightly trembling, as if breathing.

She raised her head, looking toward the cave ceiling.

There was originally a huge exit there, leading straight to the outside of the mountain peak.

Even after the cave entrance was covered by accumulated snow, the temperature inside was low enough to make one's hair stand on end.

But she could not feel cold.

The physiological structure of the Bug Race had long transcended the concept of temperature.

She just, missed him a little.

Missed that person's temperature, missed the feel of his hand stroking her Carapace, missed his gentle Smile when he spoke.

Although through the Energy Connection, she seemed to always be by his side.

But that was not enough.

She wanted real Contact, wanted to stay by his side, wanted to lightly touch his Forehead.

Wanted to protect him.

And now, someone dared to dream of harming him.

Dared to dream of harming Lin En.

In Lena's compound eyes, Purple Light surged violently.

Roar!!!

A Shrill Cry filled with Killing Intent burst from her mouth.

This was also a Jing Neng command, spreading outward from her as the center.

All Tyranid Units inside the cave received the command at the same moment.

Killing!

On the waist of another mountain peak.

A Hunting Squad of two hundred people was trudging through the snow with difficulty.

They all wore an Ice Tooth Necklace around their necks, the symbol of the Ice Fang Clan.

They were a relatively mild faction among the Breviss Savages, even actively helping the troops at the Forbidden Wall repel the Green Skin.

Today, they had originally come to this Area to hunt Ice Original Giant Bears.

Suddenly, Captain Ulf felt a strong Unease.

"Stop."

He raised his hand, signaling the Team to stop.

The other warriors immediately went on alert, their Gaze scanning the surroundings.

"What's wrong, Captain?" the Deputy asked in a low voice.

Ulf did not answer.

He took off his heavy fur gloves and pressed his Palm onto the snow.

This was a reconnaissance method commonly used by wildmen on the Ice Plains, sensing Danger through Vibration.

A few seconds later, his expression changed.

"Something is moving!?" The Ground was vibrating, but it was not an ordinary earthquake.

The words had barely fallen when a thunderous boom rolled out—!!

The entire mountain peak trembled violently.

It was not the slow shaking of an earthquake, but a rhythmic impact from within the mountain itself.

As if some giant beast were awakening, stretching its body, striking its cage.

"Fall back!" Ulf roared, "Retreat quickly!"

But it was already too late.

The snow piled atop the mountain peak began to slide.

At first only a small patch, then the area rapidly expanded, like a white waterfall pouring down.

An avalanche.

Within the snow waves, something charged out.

The first figure burst through the snow.

A body six meters long, cyan carapace plates, hideous bone blades, and a pair of membranous wings spanning twenty meters wide when unfurled.

Lena.

She flapped her wings, her body shooting toward the sky like an arrow off the string.

The membranous wings beat, whipping up violent airflow, tearing open a gap in the avalanche below by sheer force.

Immediately, more than forty figures followed close behind.

They were half Lena's size, about three meters long, but similar in appearance.

Streamlined bodies, sharp bone blades, and equally broad membranous wings.

These were the "Flying Warrior King Bug" variants carefully cultivated by Lena No. 2.

According to Lin En's requirements, their forms had undergone special adjustment.

The skull was more elongated, the snout protruding, like the head of a dragon.

A row of serrated bone spikes ran along the spine from neck to tail tip.

The wing skeleton was stouter, the wing membrane covered in fine scale-like plates.

The overall silhouette no longer resembled a traditional Bug Race unit, but was closer to...

A dragon.

The most common mythic creature in Western legend, that kind of giant dragon soaring the skies and breathing fierce flames.

At this moment, these more than forty "Talen Flying Dragons" flapped their wings and rose into the air together, the airflow impact causing the snow on the entire hillside to collapse a second time.

Boom!!

A more violent avalanche erupted.

Ulf and his squad had no time to escape at all.

But just as the snow wave was about to engulf them.

Lena, flying at the very front, lowered her head and glanced down.

In her compound eyes, the tiny human figures were reflected.

She did not stop.

But she tilted her membranous wing slightly.

The originally straight upward flight trajectory showed a subtle shift.

Just this slight shift changed the direction of the whipped-up airflow.

The avalanche's path was forcibly pushed aside by ten meters.

The position where Ulf's squad stood miraculously became an island in the snow wave.

They stood blankly in place, looking up.

Watching those dozens of black shadows break through the wind and snow, shooting straight up into the clouds.

Watching them gather in the sky, arranging into neat formations.

Watching them flap their wings, accelerate.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

More than forty sonic booms erupted simultaneously, the shockwaves from breaking the sound barrier exploding in rings of white air waves in the sky.

The snow on the mountain peak collapsed for the third time.

This time, the scale was unprecedented.

The entire mountain body trembled, the snow pouring down like a tsunami, submerging the valley, filling the trenches.

Ulf's squad was overturned to the ground by the air waves.

But they could not mind the pain.

Hurriedly kneeling in the snow, heads raised, looking at the sky.

Watching the figures shuttling through the blizzard.

Watching that largest blue figure.

Ulf's lips trembled.

He recalled the legend told by the elders of his tribe.

In the ancient era before Brevis was developed by the Imperial Fleet, the ruler of this Ice Plains.

Neither Green Skin nor human, nor any known Xenos.

It was a terrifying predatory creature.

They soared through space, nesting atop snow mountains, feeding on Ice Original Giant Beasts.

Their bodies were enormous, their breath could freeze rivers, their roars could trigger avalanches.

They are.

"FrostWyrm (Frost Dragon)."

Ulf spoke that name.

At Same Time they raised their heads, looking toward the Sky where Lena had walked away.

Then, they made the same motion.

Kneeling in worship.

Forehead touching the ground, their whole bodies prostrate on the earth.

Toward that Creature existing in Mythic, they offered Prayer.
