79: Chapter 79 The Void Shield is Destroyed, the Threads of Fate.
The Hive Mind constantly sought new ways to break through the carefully prepared defensive lines of the Blood Angels. Finally, after some searching, a Lictor found an abandoned tunnel buried deep underground. This tunnel was originally an abandoned passage used by the Blood Angels to store fuel during the Great Crusade.
Long before the Battle of Baal, vanguard units of the Tyranids had hidden themselves on the reverse side of meteorites that crashed onto the planet's surface, thereby infiltrating the planet.
Soon, the Hive Mind dispatched a small squad of Genestealers to carefully dig through the tunnel. In order to achieve the goal of paralyzing the void shield, the Genestealers attacked the Sarcophagus Hall where the Blood Angels cultivated their new recruits.
The defenders reacted quickly and gunned down the Genestealers attacking the Sarcophagus Hall. However, most of the sarcophagi were destroyed by the Genestealers, and the recruits were torn to pieces in their sleep. This incident even caused Commander Dante to be distracted and come in person.
Just at this moment, Yang Gao suddenly remembered something during the battle.
"The void shield—how could I have forgotten about that?"
However, it was too late to realize it now. The Lictor previously dispatched to the planet's surface by the Hive Mind was recklessly launching a suicide attack and successfully destroyed the power generation device for the void shield.
Instantly, the void shield vanished, and the moment it disappeared, the Tyranid Swarm surged forward like a tidal wave. Everyone present, whether mortal or player, felt a profound sense of despair.
"How come I feel like we can't hold out? Can we really stall until Guilliman's army arrives?"
"I wonder what Old Li is doing right now. If he were here, maybe his brain could come up with some good ideas."
Meanwhile, in the Warp, a Grey Knights ship was performing a Warp jump.
After Li Pu entered the game, he only felt his brain was groggy and sensed a heavy psychological pressure. He wanted to move, but he couldn't; it felt like he was bound in a small grid, unable to feel his own limbs. He was also submerged in some kind of liquid. He felt a deep sense of despair.
While attempting the Warp jump, the ship suddenly shook. When they reappeared in the material universe, they were shocked to discover that they had appeared outside the planet Baal.
"Captain Theodore, it seems we have made a mistake. There is a serious deviation from our destination."
"Report, Captain Theodore, we have detected that Baal is under attack by the Tyranids."
"Report, Captain Theodore, we have detected spatial energy fluctuations. Should we intervene?"
"Pass on my order: the entire company is to enter combat status. Be ready to awaken the dreadnought at any time."
The person who issued the order was none other than the Kurgian who had undergone the Grey Knights' trials with Li Pu and the others. Back then, in order to let Li Pu survive, he had placed Li Pu into a dreadnought. At the time, the battle losses were severe, and Li Pu had performed outstandingly in combat, which was why an exception was made to place him in the dreadnought.
Meanwhile, in the Warp, within the Impossible Fortress of Tzeentch, one of the Chaos Gods. The God of Wisdom, the Lord of Change Tzeentch, opened its eyes and looked into the distance. It let out a series of strange laughs.
Although the daemons under its command did not know why their master was laughing, they knew that someone was about to have bad luck. Some daemons immediately became excited and let out bursts of strange laughter.
"The threads of fate have been tangled. Things are starting to get interesting. Is this your doing as well, old friend?"
