Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 5 Gene Stealers

Lyonst, wielding his chainsaw sword, sliced ​​a charging mortal in two with a single stroke.

At the same time, he fired repeatedly at the Chaos Astartes charging towards him from a distance, his explosive gun already equipped with Kraken-type armor-piercing rounds.

With the help of his brothers, he killed several Chaos Astartes in a series of consecutive shots.

However, two Chaos Astartes still charged forward, wielding chainsaws.

Undeterred, Leonster charged forward and cleaved through the first Chaos Astartes that arrived.

He swung his chainsaw downwards, slashing diagonally at another Chaos Astartes who had also arrived.

The single-molecule chainsaw blade sliced ​​a deep gash into the breastplate of the Chaos Astartes, who had no time to dodge.

With just one strike, it repelled two Chaos Astartes, demonstrating its formidable strength.

The subsequent combat comrades also worked in perfect harmony, taking advantage of the gap to fill in and provide long-range firepower.

Several consecutive Wizard Tracker Bombs blasted the two Chaos Astartes, causing their chests to burst open and killing them instantly.

As a Wizard Tracker Bomb supplied from the Black Sanctuary.

For them at this moment, it is not only scarce but also extremely important.

With the obstacles in his path cleared, Leonster did not turn back to thank his brothers for their support, but instead ran straight toward the handsome man on the throne.

The brothers providing support from the rear, having worked together seamlessly for a long time, understood his meaning and quickly began to suppress the fire.

The Wizard Tracker Bomb was also used without hesitation.

The man sitting on the throne smiled slightly as he watched Astartes rushing towards him.

……

Quan Tiehua stopped running at full speed.

His brow furrowed as he pondered whether or not he should move forward.
Meanwhile, on the bronze throne in the warp, the supreme figure watched this scene and was instantly enraged.

Quan Tiehua glanced at the bridge where a fierce battle was taking place not far ahead, then turned to look at the endless corridor behind him.

He glanced at the progress bar in his mind one last time, then turned around and ran into the depths of the ship without hesitation.

"By the Emperor above, may I succeed. When the time comes, I'll break off Old K's head and give it to you as a chamber pot."

Of course, he still didn't say those words aloud.

……

In the bridge.

Leonster swept his chainsaw across, instantly forcing back several Chaos Astartes who had charged forward.

Several mortal traitors who couldn't escape in time were cut in two, their internal organs and blood gushing out.

"Traitor. Lost in false fantasies. A cowardly and incompetent scoundrel."

Leonster roared at the Chaos Astartes ahead, his chainsaw sword surging with power. The terrifying sound of the chainsaw spinning echoed throughout the bridge.

With that, Leonster charged forward again.

boom.

The sound of explosive guns echoed in the entrance corridor of the bridge, followed by even more intense firepower.

Those Chaos traitors who tried to rush forward to attack were instantly killed by the dense barrage of bullets.

Support has arrived.

Leader Afus took the lead, wielding his blue-glowing power sword, and charged forward, quickly cutting down several noise warriors with a few combos.

Meanwhile, the support personnel wearing the Unyielding Terminator armor arrived late.

In that instant, the entire battle situation was turned around.

But at the same time, Quan Tiehua encountered a thorny problem: a group of gene thieves.

Moreover, there were quite a few of them, and with the help of Astartes' super vision, it could be seen that among these purple creatures, there were even some ancestral chieftains.

Although their individual strength is not as great as Astartes, their current overwhelming numbers could probably drown the entire Tekka.

Slaanesh, Khorne, and possibly Tzeentch. Add the Emperor, and now Tyrion. Quan Tiehua silently began counting in his mind.

Nurgle is one, Greenskins is one, Necromancers are one... who else is there?

Roar.

Perhaps it was his silent prayer that influenced the group of gene-stealers' prayers to the four-armed god-emperor. In an instant, these ugly creatures turned and roared at him.

The next moment, countless lasers and rudimentary kinetic weapons were fired straight at him from within the group of gene stealers.

Looking at the crude, round bullet that struck his terracotta armor, he was fairly certain that these gene-stealers were at least in their third generation.

They were even able to conjure up some rudimentary weapons from the bare materials on the lowest deck of a ship. This made some jokes from his past life pop into his head at that moment.

The sudden increase in production efficiency and full payment of imperial taxes on an industrial planet was due to some cunning behavior on it.

"A truly gifted individual," Quan Tiehua remarked, raising his explosive pistol. His mind subconsciously raced, wondering if he should conduct experiments once he had the chance to acquire an industrial planet. After all, its industrial efficiency was many times greater than that of the oxen and horses of his previous life. It seemed even those superhuman AIs couldn't compare.

Moreover, the cost approaches zero.

Thinking this, he fired his explosive gun at the opportune moment. A somewhat disloyal explosive shell, carrying a frenzied power of machine spirit, struck the charging Progenitor's leg, breaking it in two and sending it sprawling down the path. A number of people in the narrow cabin corridor instantly tripped and fell.

Ok?
Quan Tiehua was somewhat puzzled, so he casually picked up a grenade he had found on the way here. Then, with a questioning look on his face, he stepped back to look at the explosive gun in his hand.

I am an Astartes, and an original casting at that.

I was clearly aiming for the head, so how did it hit the leg?
Could it be that the machine spirit is displeased?

As he spoke, he slapped the bomb gun across the face and then shook it vigorously.

Pull out the magazine and pull the trigger repeatedly.

Finally, he reloaded the magazine, stopped, and turned to fire continuously at the thieves who had rushed towards him.

Okay, that works now.

Every shot hits the head.

This is just a bad habit. It should be changed so that the emperor will show it loyalty.

Quan Tiehua stared at the explosive gun that was relentlessly spitting out fire serpents. Each flash of flame signified the return of a cunning thief to the throne of the Four-Armed God Emperor.

Quan Tiehua internally cursed the bomb gun that kept firing without being reloaded, thinking, "What a jerk!"

Quan Tiehua's unbridled massacre within the Gene Stealer Cult was ultimately stopped.

Because a super-heavy thief covered in mangled muscles and chitin appeared in the corridor, and behind him were thieves trying to avoid gunfire.

Even after being hit by several explosive shells, he was not killed.

Aberration.

Quan Tiehua raised an eyebrow. He really hadn't expected that on a merchant ship, in the lower deck area, a small group of gene stealers would actually have a mutant.

Moreover, judging from its strength, it is indeed quite powerful, and might even be a Mutant Overlord. If this is indeed a Mutant Overlord, then among this group of gene stealers, their core base likely contains a Nest Master.

This is reminiscent of the mission briefing's description of the mission.

This merchant ship has been on this planet for almost a month on Terra. It's highly likely that the planet below has also been infected, and the hive master is probably hiding in one of the hives on that planet.

"What a troublesome time this is."
