The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

A dark figure burst out of the flames and pounced on Russell!

Russell let out a low growl and held the fire unicorn horizontally with both hands.

With a loud thud, the massive bone blade struck Russell's fire unicorn.

Fortunately, the Fire Qilin is a divine weapon; if it were an ordinary weapon, it would have cleaved the person and weapon in two.

The force of the bone knife's strike was immense, slamming Russell directly into the ground.

The shadowy figure finally revealed its full form.

"Hive Overlord!" It was just a juvenile, about 3 meters tall.

Although it is only a juvenile Hive Overlord, it should not be underestimated. Its strength, speed, and fighting spirit are in no way inferior to those of an adult Hive Overlord.

This Hive Overlord had just teleported here. It killed three Lynxes and was preparing to devour them and evolve. It only hid after hearing the helicopter. It wasn't until Russell and his group found the place that the Hive Overlord decided to kill everyone.

"Fire!" Kayans roared, raising his laser gun and firing wildly at the Hive Overlord. The other three assault team members also fired with all their might.

However, the light laser weapons were unable to cause any real damage to this powerful creature, and instead enraged the hive overlord.

The hive overlord swept towards Kayans like a gust of wind.

Kayans roared: Come on!

He immediately drew his chainsaw sword and held it in both hands.

The bone knife swept towards Kayans, who roared and used all his strength to parry with his sword.

With a loud bang, the bone knife struck the chainsaw sword, sending Kayans flying backward. With a crack, a small tree about the size of a bowl was split in two.

The other three Cardia assault team members were not so lucky; they were instantly killed by the Zerg overlord.

At this moment, Russell stood up, wielding the Bloodthirster and Power Axe, and charged towards the Hive Overlord.

The unknown fate of Kayans and the death of his comrades greatly spurred Russell, igniting a frenzied fighting spirit within him.

As he approached the Hive Overlord, he immediately activated "Emperor's Blessing!" which increased all attributes by 50%.

The Blood Drinker slashed down at the Hive Overlord, but the Hive Overlord's bone blade swept aside the Blood Drinker, while the other bone blade slashed towards Russell's chest.

Russell quickly swung his power axe to block the Bone Blade of the Hive Overlord.

In the span of five seconds, Russell and the Hive Overlord exchanged more than twenty blows. It wasn't until the Emperor's Blessing disappeared that Russell was once again sent flying, crashing into another small tree.

Logically speaking, Kayans should be too badly injured to stand up, but he is no longer a normal person. He slowly stands up and stares fiercely at the chainsaw sword in the hands of the "Hive Overlord," which is clanging loudly.

After Russell was knocked away, he roared and pounced on the hive overlord.

At this moment, Kayans' speed increased greatly, and he quickly rushed in front of the Hive Overlord, slashing down with his giant chainsaw sword.

The overlord of the insect hive roared and swung his bone knife at the chainsaw sword.

The bone knife and the chainsaw sword collided violently, and the immense force cleaved a nick in the bone knife, demonstrating that Cayans's strength was in no way inferior to Russell's.

Adult hive overlords have four arms and eight tentacles, but larvae do not; they only have two arms and two bone knives.

With one slash, he deflected the enemy's attack; with another, he killed the enemy.

Kayans was well aware of the terrifying power of the Hive Overlord, so he was prepared to take both of its weapons head-on.

The chainsaw sword and the bone knife clashed violently.

When Russell saw this scene, he was completely stunned. When did Kayans become so strong? He was actually able to fight a young Zerg overlord to a standstill. From this, it can be seen that Kayans' strength has surpassed Russell's.

It all feels like a dream. How is this possible?

Just as Russell was stunned, Cayans couldn't hold on any longer and roared: "What are you still dazed about, Russell? Let's kill it together!"

Upon hearing Kayans's reminder, Russell reacted and brandished the Blood Drinker, lunging towards the Hive Overlord.

The two fought together against the young Zerg overlord.

Neither the Blood Drinker nor the Chainsaw Sword Insect Nest Overlord dared to be careless. It was naturally not afraid of the adult form, but the juvenile form's carapace defense was not yet that strong.

With Russell's addition, the two men and the insect were finally evenly matched and locked in a fierce battle.

As the battle continued, they did not tire; on the contrary, they became more energetic and fiercer with each fight.

The Blood Drinker was constantly transferring the power of the "Blood God" to Russell, but this power was a purified power that could enhance Russell's combat abilities but could not corrupt him.

However, Kayans was using the power of the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, which greatly changed him, not only reshaping his physical body but also giving him an indomitable will.

The battle couldn't go on forever. The Hive Overlord realized that the two people it was fighting were two tireless monsters. The longer the battle dragged on, the greater its chances of being killed would become. The best option was to escape while it still had the strength.

The Hive Overlord knocked Russell back with a single strike, turned to dodge Kayanth's chainsword, and then quickly fled the area.

Soon, the overlord of the insect hive disappeared into the forest.

Kayansi could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood, about to collapse to the ground.

Russell's body was trembling slightly, but he was still able to hold on. When he saw Cayans fall, he caught him without thinking.

"Kayans, are you alright?" Russell asked with concern.

Kayans smiled wryly: I'm fine. You're amazing. You've been fighting for so long and you're still able to stand.

Russell put him on the ground and frowned, saying, "Kayans, there's something I'd like to say?"

Kayans chuckled and said, "I know what you're going to say. Why did I become so powerful?"

Russell nodded.

"Why have you become so powerful?" Kayans asked in return.

Russell didn't know how to answer.

“We used to be the same height and weigh about the same, but now? You’ve reached over 2 meters in height and weigh an astonishing several hundred kilograms, all muscle. How did you become like this?”

Russell hesitated before saying, "I have no way to answer that question."

Kayans chuckled and said, "We all have secrets, secrets that can't be told. I remember you once told me something, and now I'll answer you with that same sentence: no matter what I become, you'll always be my good brother."

Russell sighed and said, "Now that things have come to this point, what else can I say?"

"If I don't become stronger, we'll all be dead here today. As for the future? Neither of us can control it!"
