235: Chapter 236 It felt just like being at home.

Fighting deep inside the mothership was, for this group of The Fourth Calamity, practically a routine dungeon run they could navigate with their eyes closed.

Whether it was facing the sphincter traps that suddenly contracted in the corridors or engaging in meat-grinder melee combat with the swarms surging from all directions.

The players could basically handle it all with ease, their coordination seamless. Their skilled positioning and demolition techniques were just like coming home.

In contrast, the Death Spectre squad following behind to pick up the scraps had a completely different vibe.

Lucas, leading the Space Marines, appeared extremely cautious, advancing step by step.

Since the Death Spectres were the sons of the Primarch Corax, most of the battle-brothers in the Chapter leaned towards melee assassination and hand-to-hand combat.

Although they had ranged fire support, the proportion was low compared to other Chapters.

Therefore, Lucas could only lead the squad to stick closely behind the player group, responsible for wiping out the bugs that crawled out from the rear and ventilation shafts to launch sneak attacks.

Everyone advanced through blood, drawing closer to the core area of the mothership.

"Hiss—!"

Flame Fist, walking at the very front, suddenly clutched his head in pain.

As a Psyker, as they went deeper, his head felt like it was about to explode! Various sharp hive whispers were piercing his neural pathways like steel needles.

"Damn it! Brothers, I can't take it anymore!"

Flame Fist shouted through gritted teeth, "I feel like we're very close to the lair of that Norn Queen thing! The psychic radiation is too strong, my head really hurts!"

Pi She, while swinging his Chainsword, turned his head to look at Flame Fist: "Can't hold on? Do you want a shot of painkillers?"

"Forget it!" Flame Fist waved his hand, feeling the pinch. "That crappy painkiller costs 200 Core Points a shot! Do you know how hard it is for me to save up money? I can't bear to use it! Speaking of which, does the designer of this crappy game even understand user experience? Why can't the pain system be one hundred percent blocked? Is this reasonable?"

Ming Shen rolled his eyes at him from the side and headshot a Warrior bug: "Do you think retaining pain is a burden? In this game, pain is saving your life! Without pain, how would you know where your Power Armor is broken or where you're injured?"

However, just as everyone was chatting, complaining, and clearing out bugs while advancing.

"Pfft—Boom!"

A teeth-gritting sound of flesh exploding suddenly came from the end of the dark corridor ahead!

They saw a large hole, several meters in diameter, burst open without warning on the thick flesh wall to the left in front of them! A large amount of green gore and acid sprayed in all directions.

Subsequently, a dark shadow, as massive as a standing giant bear and even taller and sturdier than big guys like Lucas, charged out from this flesh hole with violent killing intent!

Flame Fist endured the severe pain in his brain and focused on those figures.

Outside the flesh hole, a dozen or so Space Marines nearly three meters tall charged out one after another! They were all wearing ancient, heavy, old-model Terminators Power Armor!

Moreover, these Power Armor were covered in claw marks deep enough to see bone and extremely obvious, rough welding repair marks, looking exactly like they had been picked up from some scrap heap!

If not for the emblem of the Carcharodons Chapter painted on their shoulder pads, Flame Fist would have almost thought some gang of Chaos Space Pirates driven mad by poverty had attacked.

And the Death Spectre squad walking in the rear, upon seeing the paint scheme of this group. Lucas and the others, who were usually fearless, actually subconsciously stepped back in unison!

"Is it that bunch of lunatics from the Carcharodons Chapter?!"

A rare trace of apprehension seeped into Lucas's voice.

And that group of Carcharodons Chapter members who had just broken through the wall. After discovering the players and the Death Spectres in the dim corridor, they not only didn't stop to confirm the identity of friendly forces.

The terrifying figure in the lead, who was the largest and resembled an ancient beast, had a frantic killing intent flashing in his crimson lenses. He actually let out a roar that did not sound human and charged over with his whole body!

The pair of giant Power Claws flickering with blue light in his hands stabbed mercilessly directly at the throat of Flame Fist, who was walking in the front!

Upon seeing that pair of iconic Power Claws on the hand of the leading Carcharodons Chapter member. This battle-hardened veteran, Lucas, instantly felt his scalp tingle and cold sweat break out!

"It's Chapter Master Tyberos!"

Lucas roared, "No! Those guys have fallen into battle rage again, they've gone crazy! They're even killing friendly forces! Everyone, scatter and retreat quickly!"

In the circle of Space Marines, the Carcharodons Chapter has always been known for their brutal and bloodthirsty combat style.

On the battlefield, once this group of lunatics falls into some kind of ancient genetic rage, they lose their sanity completely! At that time, whether facing enemies or friendly forces, they are the purest nightmare!

Not to mention, the one leading the charge was the Chapter Master of the Carcharodons Chapter—Chapter Master Tyberos, known as the Red Wake! He is a killing machine through and through!

However! At this moment, Flame Fist, walking in the front, faced with this sudden, lethal pounce, had no space in the narrow corridor to retreat or dodge?!

Flame Fist's head was already aching severely from the psychic radiation, and now being inexplicably attacked by so-called friendly forces made the evil fire in his heart flare up three hundred feet high!

But the claws reaching for his throat were too fast, the angle was incomparably precise, and it was simply unavoidable!

"Damn it! I'm wearing top-tier Power Armor that I spent points on, and I came specifically to snatch the first kill of the Norn Queen!"

In the instant of life and death, only one crazy thought remained in Flame Fist's mind, "If I get one-shotted by some dim-witted NPC so miserably now, without even seeing the face of the monster, wouldn't I be losing to the point of no return?!"

"You want to one-shot me?! Activate!"

Flame Fist's eyes instantly turned blood red, and he directly clicked the red button in the lower right corner of his vision. "Genetic Enhancement Module! 16x Power Overload!"

Accompanied by a bestial roar from Flame Fist. The next moment! He clearly felt a terrifying energy, like high-voltage current, instantly stimulate every nerve ending in his entire body!

Subsequently, the muscles all over his body writhed and expanded crazily under the Power Armor. His heart rate soared in just one second to an incredible, non-human critical point!

Because his eyeballs were extremely congested, his entire field of vision instantly turned blood red!

In this enhanced state of extreme life overdraft, external time seemed to slow down in Flame Fist's eyes.

And so, in the shocked gaze of everyone! Flame Fist's body, at an extreme speed that left afterimages, performed an incredible backward lean and side dodge, narrowly avoiding the Power Claws Chapter Master Tyberos was reaching for his throat, as well as the millstone-sized heavy fist that followed!

Subsequently! Flame Fist used the momentum from his waist, swung his hands from bottom to top, lifted the heavy Power Hammer in his hands, and violently swung out a golden arc!

"Get the hell out of my way!"

"Boom—!!!"

One hammer! Without deviation, it slammed heavily and solidly onto the Terminators Power Armor on Chapter Master Tyberos's abdomen!

The terrifying kinetic energy erupting from the hammer even directly created a visible shockwave in the spore-filled space!

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a crisp and harsh sound of Ceramite shattering! Under the stunned gaze of everyone. Chapter Master Tyberos's massive body, which was over three meters tall and weighed several tons, actually flew backward with his feet off the ground, like a heavy artillery shell fired from a chamber!

"Bang!"

Chapter Master Tyberos slammed heavily into the flesh wall behind him. The huge impact force directly smashed the wall inward, and his entire massive body was even deeply embedded into the flesh tissue of the Tyranid mothership, unable to be pried out for a moment!

The air fell into a deathly silence at this moment.

Those Carcharodons Chapter members who were following closely behind Chapter Master Tyberos and were also in a state of frantic killing, upon seeing their Chapter Master get knocked away by someone with a hammer. It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured over their heads, and they all sobered up almost immediately.

They held their weapons, looked at the Chapter Master embedded in the wall who couldn't be pried out, looked at each other, and were somewhat at a loss.

And the Death Spectre warriors led by Lucas were still maintaining their defensive posture of scattering and retreating. They looked at Flame Fist as if looking at a monster, not making a sound for a long time, their worldview shattered into pieces.

A mortal actually smashed Chapter Master Tyberos away with one frontal hammer strike?!

But the Great Devourer would not give them time to be dazed.

Just at this moment, the surrounding flesh walls writhed violently again, constantly splitting open one huge hole after another!

Subsequently, one after another, eight-meter-tall Tyrants, burly Hive Guards, and Executioners wielding bone swords rushed out like a tide, blocking the corridor tightly!

And at the very back of the bug swarm, a brand-new Tyranid unit with a huge body and emitting terrifying psychic fluctuations appeared!

After Ming Shen saw the new unit clearly, he gasped: "It's a Norn Emissary! A high-level mini-Boss of the Tyranids has arrived! Plus that corridor wall that was chiseled through just now..."

Ming Shen's eyes lit up, and he instantly figured out the logic: "So that's how it is!"

Flash raised his gun and fired: "What is it? What's the situation?"

Ming Shen quickly analyzed: "It's obvious! The Carcharodons Chapter breaking through the wall just now was not an accident; it was deliberately guiding these frenzied Carcharodons Chapter members into our corridor!"

"The bugs just wanted to use the characteristic of these big guys falling into a rage and not distinguishing between friend and foe. To create infighting and, taking advantage of this chaotic moment, wipe us and the Space Marines out here in one fell swoop!"

Meanwhile, Flame Fist, who was currently in the genetic enhancement cheat mode. The overload system of the Power Armor was significantly overdrafting the life potential of his clone body in exchange for terrifying combat power.

But the price of this invincible state was that his health bar was dropping crazily. It wouldn't be long before he would be exhausted and croak on the spot.

Therefore, Flame Fist now had no time and no mood to listen to Ming Shen's tactical analysis.

"Damn it! These NPCs and bugs teamed up to scheme against me, causing me to have to blow my clothes and croak early!"

Flame Fist was extremely angry right now! Angry enough to want to kill!

He slapped away a Carcharodons Chapter member blocking his front with a rough swing. A layer of pale, materialized psychic flames rose directly from his body.

Subsequently, like a crazed God of War, he picked up his Thunder Hammer, confronted the bug swarm without dodging at all, and smashed directly towards the Norn Emissary that appeared in the distance!

On the way, there were two high-level Executioners who wanted to wave their swords to stop him. They couldn't even last for a second, and were directly smacked into meat paste on the spot by Flame Fist with a casual hammer strike, just like swatting flies!

The remaining players also reacted; they had been set up by the bugs! They immediately raised their weapons and began to output crazily against the bug swarm.

The Space Marines led by Lucas, although they always felt that everything that happened today was extremely outrageous and something was wrong everywhere. But with a great enemy in front, everything had to wait until the bugs were killed first. They also immediately opened fire and killed towards the bug swarm.

On the scene, only the squad of the Carcharodons Chapter did not immediately join the battle. They were busy helping to pry the Chapter Master Chapter Master Tyberos, who was embedded in the wall, out by force.

When Chapter Master Tyberos stood firm again, his brain, which had originally been blinded by slaughter, also completely sobered up with the physical cooling of that heavy hammer blow just now.

Even with such a blow, Chapter Master Tyberos did not suffer very serious injuries.

Chapter Master Tyberos began to quickly analyze the current battle situation. Simply put. He led the squad to board the Tyranid mothership and fell into a bloodthirsty rage during the process of killing and advancing. This was normal for the Carcharodons Chapter.

But! Just now, suddenly encountering friendly forces in the corridor, and he himself was smashed into the wall by a friendly force with a hammer and couldn't be pried out... What the hell is this?!

Chapter Master Tyberos shook his head, recalling the figure that had smashed him away with one hammer just now. It seemed... like a mortal wearing golden heretical Power Armor?!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Chapter Master Tyberos would rather believe that his brain had been eroded by the high concentration of psychic energy of the mothership and caused hallucinations, than believe that he would be smashed away head-on by a mortal.

However. The various high-level bugs that kept pouring out of the corridor would not give him time to stand there and contemplate life.

"Prepare to engage!" Chapter Master Tyberos shook off the gore on his Power Claws and immediately gave the order. Leading the sobered-up Carcharodons Chapter squad, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, they roared and joined the bloody meat grinder of clearing out bugs.

Inside the mothership's corridor, flesh and blood were flying everywhere.

"Sss!" Flash backhanded his sword, and the scorching Melta Sword blade directly severed the hideous head of a Tyranid Tyrant.

He kicked the bug corpse away and turned to look at the other end of the corridor. There, Flame Fist, who had activated the genetic enhancement cheat, was engaged in a tragic one-on-one duel with that massive Norn Emissary.

As a Tyranid ultimate synapse unit that was even taller than a Tyrant. The Norn Emissary not only possessed a massive and resilient body, but also possessed terrifying psychic power.

What was even more fatal was that its combat technique could be called top-notch; it was the direct embodiment of the war will of the Hive Mind itself.

Even though Flame Fist's current physical fitness had been forcibly raised more than ten times by the Power Armor, and he even had the upper hand in strength and absolute speed. But his reckless, wide-open fighting style could not easily kill the opponent.

The Norn Emissary's superb combat skills and the bone swords it wielded perfectly made up for its shortcomings in strength, dragging Flame Fist tightly in place.

"Old Ming! This won't work!" Flash watched the bugs pouring in endlessly, "We can't kill all the bugs! Flame Fist's enhancement has a time limit, we can't waste everything here!"

Ming Shen blasted a Leaper to pieces with a shot and frowned tightly: "According to the calculations of Flame Fist and Slaanesh, the incubation main nest of the Norn Queen is likely not far ahead! But there are too many monsters now, we can't get away at all!"
