The "continent" that occupies the entire galaxy, "devours" the stars of the galaxy, and places it in the core area seems to be the home of the Tyro Zerg.
Of course, it is not ruled out that this continent is the nest of a certain mother or king insect.
Which one it is, we need to wait for the elite expeditionary force to set foot on the mainland before we can come to a conclusion, and before that, the expeditionary force still needs to deal with the unprecedented Taylor fleet.
Their scale stretches to hundreds of millions of kilometers, and it seems that no planet can stop their progress.
See this.
Ark 002's speed did not slow down, but a giant gate opened underneath the eight petals and released thirty-two matrix nodes (diamond-shaped metal columns) with a length of 4,000 kilometers.
Immediately afterwards, the Ark gradually adjusted its angle so that the surface of the artificial star would face the Tyro Zerg fleet and the mainland.
At the same time, thirty-two matrix nodes are also at the front end of the Ark, quickly spliced into an inverted "△" triangle matrix.
Buzz!
In an instant, the triangular matrix appeared and flashed with blue light.
Ri～-——!
Subsequently, the artificial stars of the Ark also switched from the warm yellow at the beginning to cyan blue in the blink of an eye, and the light intensified, and the brightness seemed to light up the entire galaxy...
It refers to the Yuanzheng-072 irregular galaxy group, which is not where the Tailo continent is located. The original star system has disappeared.
And then…
Phew~——!
The artificial star immediately emitted a cylindrical beam of light toward the triangular matrix.
Boom~——!
After the bright light passes through the "△" of the matrix, it immediately "radiates" to everything around it, just like an extremely large-scale supernova explosion.
This time's brightness, if the light is given enough time, will indeed radiate and illuminate the entire Expedition-072.
After the shine.
Ark 002, with its energy shield deployed, was safe and sound.
And the thirty-two mutual aid nodes are also four to four pairs, forming eight "◇" diamond matrices, evenly scattered around Ark 002 to accompany the voyage.
Let’s look at the Tyrol Zerg side again…
The previously massive Zerg fleet, consisting of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of kilometers of biological warships, was all annihilated in the "supernova explosion" just now.
The continent was also evaporated, nearly 40% vaporized.
Moreover, the violent shaking of the continent, the traces of scorching exposed on the damaged parts, and the "arteries" with the width of the planet further prove that the continent is...
Living organisms.

…
at the same time.
The main control room of the Neverfall.
“…”
After standing next to the center console and seeing the outside world through the holographic screen, everyone remained silent, causing the entire control room to fall into silence.
First is that continent...
In other words, the size and volume of the land insect made the original body involuntarily show an expression of shock as soon as they saw it. It was obviously beyond their expectations.
Russ, who had gone deep into the alien space, would have been deeply moved by a void whale that was tens of thousands of kilometers away, let alone a bug that was several astronomical units wide and long, close to the size of a star system.
The existence of such a creature in the physical universe made Rogge, Sanguinius and Sui Meng feel a little scared.
After all, most human beings are afraid of unknown things.
However, it was only for a moment. Sui Meng, a primarch who likes to charge headlong, thought in his mind that land bugs were just bigger bugs?
As long as they are insects, they can be cut down and killed.
Although Sui Meng doesn't speak much, he looks like a replica of John, but Sui Meng is more "simple and straightforward" than John.
As for the second thing that made them fall into silence, it was the new explosion of the super star that had just been released. It was one of the main weapons of Ark 002. The temperature could theoretically be maintained between 120 trillion degrees Celsius and 160 trillion degrees Celsius.
Moreover, the effective killing radius is one light year...
Yes, it's a light year.
Until now, the new explosion of the super star that was just released still maintains an ultra-high temperature, radiating in all directions like a "ring of light" at the speed of light, and nothing in its reach is spared.
But the land insect's biological barrier helped its main body withstand the attack just now, which shows that the opponent's combat power is at least comparable to that of Ark.
at this time.
Seeing that the land insects once again released a large amount of biological warfare, Rogge moved his beard and said directly: "Julia, activate the large device 0972."
"Yes, sir."
After receiving the order, Julia, who was "standing" on the center console, immediately executed it.
Immediately afterwards, the holographic screen showed that the energy shield of Ark 002 was intensifying, and the large device 0972 that had been parked above the Ark also emitted condensed light.
Phew~——!
Ri～-——!
The next moment, the cross-phase pulse wave that exceeds the speed of light, causing a "premonitory" or "pre-echo" phenomenon, is released before the large device 0972 is actually turned on, and then the flare bursts out.
Of course, all these phenomena occurred in a very short period of time, and even the three original bodies were unable to distinguish them.
Look at the screen again.
Rogge and the others discovered that after the cross-phase pulse wave passed, the biological warships of the Tyro Zerg were directly "blown away", but the biological barrier of black light was also deployed, and the land insects tended to be dark purple, and they still stayed there intact.
Julia, who had completed the scan, also reported in time: "Sir, according to my preliminary scan, the particle fluctuations of the super giant land insect's biological barrier are similar to our energy shield."
"So..." After hearing Julia's words, Sanguinius' expression sank: "The cross-phase pulse wave is temporarily ineffective against the Tyro Zerg."
After all, the Tyro Zerg are evolving infinitely. Now, their biological weapons are becoming more and more sharp and efficient. The single combat power of a few (millions) chief-level bugs is almost the same as that of the Glory Guard.
As for the fact that the Tyro Zerg could evolve and resist the biological barrier of cross-phase pulse waves, Rogge and the others had already expected it.
After all, the Tyros Zerg that were annihilated by the large device had at least tens of millions of trillions, if not hundreds of millions of trillions.
There is no way, Tyro is a Zerg, and they already have a numerical advantage, which is also one of the most basic elements of a Zerg.
And when these tens of millions of bugs die, they will "automatically upload" the details of their death to the Hive Mind. They are not limited by the speed of light, and are similar to quantum communication.
And they were able to know this thanks to repeated research by a group of pharmacists.
So, like regular civilizations and empires, like the United Empire and the First Empire.
If they want to decipher the cross-phase pulse wave, they must have specific data of the moment when the residents and the army were annihilated, and then they need a lot of experiments to make it possible...
It is an extremely slim possibility to complete the deciphering, and this time is less than a thousand years, more than ten thousand years, because this is one of the pinnacle technologies of physics.
However, the prerequisite for completing the deciphering is to obtain the data of the moment of annihilation.
This directly creates an infinite loop.
In other words, the Union and the First Empire were simply unable to decipher it.
However, the Tailo Zerg, relying on the characteristics of their Hive Mind and their nearly endless numbers, actually broke this cycle of death and greatly increased the possibility of completing the decipherment.
"This is not a problem." Rogge didn't care much. "As long as you catch a new-born bug and throw it into the analysis vessel of the large device, you can release pulse waves targeting them again, but the really serious problem is
The issue is…"
At this point, Rogge glanced at the two brothers and said in a serious tone: "The position interference released by that land insect prevents celestial bodies with super mass and gravity such as wormholes or black holes from forming within the scope of the position.
, unless we get involved from outside.
In short, we can't go back unless we deal with the land bug."
Wormholes and black holes seem to be very different from each other. For example, no matter can turn back after entering the event horizon of a black hole, while all matter entering a wormhole can change direction.
But both have top-notch density and quality.
Moreover, wild wormholes are not as safe as people imagine. They can also be used to randomly travel to certain points in the universe or other universes.
In fact, wild wormholes are also extremely unstable. The ejection and suction from both ends will cause all the materials inside to collide at extremely high speeds and create a plasma ball with a temperature that may be as high as 10 trillion degrees Celsius.
Sixty years before the empire was founded, there was a main space cruise ship that carried nearly 10,000 tourists on a warp voyage. While visiting the dazzling nebula, it strayed into a wild wormhole and was eventually lost.
The wormholes created by the administrator's civilization are restricted in all aspects, and the Ark is "naturally harmless" when used, which gives people the illusion that "wormholes are very safe."
Both black holes and white holes are dangerous existences for the Tyro Zerg, so this land insect has evolved this mechanism to avoid and shield supermassive celestial bodies.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's do it." Sui Meng couldn't wait. "It's time to land on that insect and kill it. Brother, please give me the order."
After saying that, Sui Meng and Sanguinius all turned their attention to Rogge.
“…”
Facing the eyes of the two brothers with infinite trust, Rogge took a deep breath, and then personally controlled the center console, switching the holographic screen to a holographic star map.
Later, Rogge quickly marked out dense arrows, circles and corresponding annotations on the holographic star map drawn with the land insect as the center.
After completing all this, Rogge folded his hands in front of his chest and launched a brief analysis:
"Although the land insect's defense is like a turtle shell, it is not completely airtight. Ark 002's conventional firepower is not very effective, but the other party is also helpless against us.
The most important thing is that Julia detected that the land insect's biological attitude seems to have the same characteristics as the chief insect's biological attitude, that is, it can easily resist high-speed objects, energy and radiation, but it is unable to resist normal-speed objects.
It is difficult to effectively intercept.
Therefore, Ark 002 will continue to approach the opponent until the distance between us and the opponent is less than 400,000 kilometers, and then use the fleet to try to break in and join forces.
However, this strategy only uses Ark 002 and the main force of the fleet as bait to lure the opponent's main combat force as much as possible to buy more time for a brother to complete the beheading.
My Iron Fist of Glory and I serve as bait." Having said this, Rogge pointed to the left side of the star map with his left hand, "Then, Sanguinius, my younger brother Sui Meng, who among you is willing to be the beheader."
"I'll do it," Sanguinius replied immediately.
"I prefer to be the bait." Sui Meng also expressed his position.
"Okay." Rogge rarely broke his tongue and continued: "Brothers, don't forget about the future confrontation. Father will no longer be able to provide us with protection...
I won’t say any more. I will only remind you that the Tyros must be eliminated once and for all. Keeping them will definitely be a disaster, and they may be like a flood that cannot be contained and sweeps across the multiverse...
For father!"
"For father!"

…
Shortly after.
The dark red lighting is on, but the overall cabin is still dark.
Thirty-two trappers, eight in a row, were divided into four rows. They opened their magnetic boots and armor locks and were neatly fixed in the cabin.
They wore Mjolnir Mark X (heavy armor), with some paper "Human Truth" decorations on their bodies, helmets with ghost faces and red tassels, and tiger furs wrapped around their waists.
Coupled with power swords, power spears and other close combat weapons, you will know that they are an elite combat platoon of a certain battalion.
veteran?
At present, the Trapper Legion has only been established for a short period of time. There are no real veterans of the first company in the battalion headquarters, and Terminator armor is also relatively scarce. Being able to equip it with Mark X shows that this battalion headquarters is already relatively wealthy.
boom…
At this time, the fuselage shook violently, as if something hit the transport aircraft carried by the elites, but the damage was offset by the energy shield.
Boom...boom...
However, the attacks became more intensive, and the pilots began to drive more aggressively.
finally…
"Boom! Boom!! Chi~!!"
With a harsh sound of friction between the belly of the plane and the ground, the pilot seemed to have made a hard landing.
And before the transport plane could stop, the pilot opened the door located toward the nose of the plane.
"call!"
The hatch opened, causing airflow to surge instantly, and also allowed this elite combat platoon to see the outside world...
On a desolate, dark "earth" shrouded in starry sky and firelight, an apocalyptic-level landing battle broke out. The incoming Tyro Zerg were like a tsunami rolling,
The brothers and auxiliary troops, as well as heavy armored vehicles, who arrived first via transport planes, have already begun to compete with the insect sea.
See this.
The platoon leader standing at the front drew out his power epee, and then with a "buzz!" sound, dark red lightning surrounded the sword blade, and he swung it forward:
"Brothers! For the sake of father, let me kill you!"
"For father! Kill!"
The trappers just let out a brief war cry, released the magnetic attraction, and rushed out of the cabin with their armor locked.
"嘡!嘡嘡!"
"Ri~--whoop!"
Extremely dense gunfire and artillery shelling echoed across the battlefield.
This elite combat platoon bravely took the lead, quickly passing by friendly forces and armored units, and only slowed down after reaching the forefront of the battle line.
"Boom~boom!! Boom...boom!!"
At this moment, a "giant" over 100 meters tall stepped past the elite combat platoon from above with a pace that could shake the entire continent.
Not only that, this "giant" also wielded the "Moon Sword", which was also over 100 meters long, and harvested insects in large areas, and this was the original body of the Trapper——
God's body.
Everyone, I have to work overtime this Sunday T-T, and I shamelessly asked for a day off. I feel like I won’t have time to prepare for the new novel as soon as I get to work. Now I only have the first two chapters.
The new novel may have to wait until next year to be released online.
As for the next enemy in this book
Not a spoiler, but Leon keeps jumping back and forth from tomb to tomb.
And there may be some small worlds interspersed during this period, such as "Blood Cross" mentioned by a reader. If you don't know about it, you can check it out. Search "Blood Cross" on the broken website. It really looks like a variant of Slaanesh.
