236: Chapter 237 Facing the Queen

Just at this dilemma, "Boom!"

Chapter Master Tyberos led the fully awakened Carcharodons squad, like humanoid meat grinders, violently cutting into the battle.

With this group of top-tier melee Space Marines sharing the firepower, the defensive pressure on the players' side suddenly lessened.

Ming Shen keenly seized this fleeting opportunity.

"Now!" Ming Shen roared in the channel, "Those of us with high combat power, charge in and decapitate! The rest of you stay here and coordinate with the NPCs to hold off the bugs!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Ming Shen, Flash, Miracle Walker, Liver Emperor, and Wanna Sleep with Slaanesh immediately broke away from the main front line, turning into several afterimages as they charged toward the deepest part of the mothership.

Wanna Sleep with Slaanesh, relying on his Zerg genes, took the lead.

He darted quickly through the maze-like flesh tunnels, suddenly stopping in front of a thick wall of flesh.

"It's in this direction!" Wanna Sleep with Slaanesh pointed at the wall, "I can sense high concentrations of pheromones!"

Flash didn't say a word; he raised his dual Melta Sword and slashed hard at the flesh wall!

"Clang!" After the high heat sliced through the epidermis, a clashing sound rang out. Inside was actually a layer of incredibly sturdy chitinous bone plate.

"Open up for me!" Flash roared, slamming his body into it. Accompanied by a piercing cracking sound, the bone plate was forcibly smashed open.

A massive, hidden space was revealed before them without reservation.

This was an oval-shaped, enormous chamber.

All around were dense clusters of thick flesh pipes and incubation sacs emitting a fluorescent green glow.

The space was filled with toxic green spores, and visibility was extremely low.

In the very center of the space, a figure as vast as a mountain loomed.

Flash tossed a concussion grenade backhanded.

"Boom!" The shockwave instantly dispersed the surrounding spore cloud.

The terrifying monster hidden behind the mist was finally fully exposed to them.

It was too big!

Its size completely exceeded the limits of human imagination; it was over two hundred meters long!

It was less like a bug and more like a continuously pulsing, giant living bio-machine!

Its body had grown and fused with the flesh ceiling and pipe walls of the chamber, making independent movement impossible.

It possessed an extremely enlarged, giant head that was integrated with the rib-like ceiling of the chamber.

At the front of its head grew a pair of crushing jaws as massive as cranes.

Undoubtedly, all the biomass and genetic samples recovered by the fleet outside were sent directly into these giant jaws through pipes to be dismantled into genetic raw materials.

Its abdomen was extremely swollen and enlarged.

Countless intestinal, slime-covered biological pipes were connected to it, continuously pumping viscous nutrient slurry into its body.

On the sides of its body, rows of egg-laying pores were arranged, from which insect eggs were continuously gushing out; the depression on its back was filled with body fluids, inside which a large number of maggot-like larvae were wriggling densely.

Branching tissues similar to umbilical cords extended from its body, hanging huge embryo sacs like ripe fruit.

And in the specialized incubation sacs on both sides of its body, several giant transport worm larvae were ready to break out of the sacs at any moment.

Around that giant insect, a large number of high-tier guard bugs were coiled, protecting its safety.

Flash looked up, watching this disgusting scene, a Flash of astonishment and disappointment crossing his eyes.

"This is the Norn Queen? The supreme Commander of the Hive Fleet?" Flash complained, "It feels like it's just a ruthless assembly-line production machine! It can't even move; does it have any combat power?"

Ming Shen was also deeply shocked by the scene before him.

The so-called queen simply had no attack organs in any conventional sense.

It was nothing more than a miserable production machine, completely dominated by the Hive Mind, used for frantically mass-producing troops.

But this machine had to be destroyed today.

"Don't just stand there! Do it!" Ming Shen raised his weapon and roared.

Seeing intruders break into the main nest, those high-tier guard bugs immediately let out sharp hisses and pounced.

The battle erupted instantly!

Just as the players were preparing to go all out with their firepower, a sudden change occurred!

The Norn Queen's compound eyes suddenly erupted with a blinding purple psychic glow.

Flash, who was raising his sword to charge, suddenly stiffened.

His eyes glowed purple, and he uncontrollably turned around, raised his Melta Sword, and slashed hard at Ming Shen beside him!

Ming Shen hurriedly dodged, shocked: "Flash! What are you going crazy for?!"

"I... I can't control my hand!" Flash, covered in sweat, shouted in the channel in terror, "This mothership is controlling my nerve signals! Holy crap! Could it be because I ate the bug meat?!"

Faced with this sudden defection, the players' formation was instantly thrown into chaos; Flash was their core melee damage dealer.

However, Lin Li, who was far away on sea breeze no. 9 and had been staring intently at the battlefield surveillance, saw this and sneered on the spot.

"Trying to hack my players through the network cable? In your dreams!"

"Seven! Cut Flash's connection directly! Force kick him offline!"

"Swish!" Inside the main Hive nest, Flash, who had been swinging his sword crazily, instantly lost focus in his eyes, rolled them back, and his whole body, like a puppet with cut strings, collapsed limply to the ground.

No matter how the Norn Queen exerted her psychic power, an empty clone shell could no longer make any response.

Although Flash was offline, the swarm guards had already pressed in front of them.

"I'll tank the line!" Liver Emperor roared.

He directly activated the gene-enhanced Power Armor on his body.

Accompanied by the module overload, Liver Emperor, like a humanoid tank, slammed into the swarm of guard bugs, drawing all the aggro.

Seeing that physical obstruction was ineffective, the Norn Queen's massive head trembled violently, and she directly launched a psychic soul attack!

A materialized psychic storm, like an invisible heavy hammer, smashed directly into the depths of the consciousness of all players present!

The Hive Mind attempted to tear apart these humans' souls directly, turning them completely into mindless puppets.

But the next second, the Norn Queen's massive body actually suffered violent convulsions!

In this universe, the Norn Queen's soul attacks were indeed unrivaled.

But! It had encountered The Fourth Calamity today!

These players didn't have native souls in this world at all!

Loaded inside their shells were electronic consciousnesses from another world, baptized by years of information explosions on the Internet!

When the Norn Queen's pure psychic tentacles forcibly connected to the players' ocean of consciousness, it didn't see fear or despair.

What it saw were countless illogical, abstract nonsense, maddening remix videos, and dank internet memes sufficient to crash the brain of any carbon-based life form!

"It's so hot it burns!"

"My brother cucked me with my girlfriend, what should I do?"

"I've realized it, the last stroke of life is the first stroke of death!"

"After my research, I found that consuming one's own whip does not achieve aphrodisiac effects!"

"..."

This consciousness of The Fourth Calamity, filled with pure chaos and abstract waste, flowed back along the psychic connection, reverse-contaminating the Norn Queen's highly rational Hive node!

"Hum—!" The Norn Queen emitted an extremely painful, silent shriek.

Purple body fluid actually seeped out from its huge compound eyes.

The Zerg psychic network within the entire incubation chamber experienced severe lag and latency at this very moment!

"Good chance!" Seeing this, Wanna Sleep with Slaanesh pulled out the stink bomb he had swiped from Flame Fist.

"Eat sh*t!" He threw it with force, and the stink bomb accurately smashed near the Norn Queen's huge olfactory receptor organ.

"Bang!" The mud ball burst. A terrifying stench instantly permeated the entire space!

Stimulated by this stench capable of causing genetic collapse, combined with the previous backlash of consciousness contamination, the Norn Queen's synaptic connection officially crashed!

All the surrounding guard bugs, like robots that had instantly lost their network connection, stood stupidly in place, falling into chaos.

"Finish it off!" Ming Shen and the overloaded Liver Emperor, stepping on the corpses covering the ground, jumped high into the air from left and right using their jetpacks, rushing directly toward the Norn Queen's massive crushing jaws.

Ming Shen pulled out an explosive charge backhanded.

The two of them worked together, forcibly prying open the Queen's stiff giant jaws.

Ming Shen stuffed the explosive charge deep into its esophagus, which was full of acid.

"Swallow this candy for me!" Ming Shen pressed the detonator, and the two immediately activated their jetpacks, flying backward frantically to evade.

"Boom—!!!" A dull and terrifying roar exploded in the center of the chamber!

Violent flames mixed with thick acid spewed out from the Norn Queen's mouth!

That huge head integrated with the ceiling, under the ravages of the internal nuclear explosion, shattered like a ripe watermelon!

Large swathes of purple-red flesh fell to the ground like a rainstorm.

The huge insect body twitched violently a few times, and finally, the pulsation stopped completely.

All the incubation sacs and nutrient pipes lost their vitality at this moment.

"We won!"

"First kill! The Norn Queen's first kill is ours! Hahaha!"

Watching the server-wide kill announcement and massive point rewards pop up on the PV panel, the players of the Scourge Legion cheered wildly in the communication channel, hugging and celebrating with each other.

Outside the main nest tunnel, as the highest node was destroyed, those originally frantic swarms instantly lost their unified command, turning into beasts fighting on their own.

Lucas and the Space Marines led by Chapter Master Tyberos began the post-battle cleanup work with tacit understanding.

A complex look flickered in their eyes: these mortals had actually really done it.

...

On the bridge of sea breeze no. 9, as the swarm network collapsed, the guard bugs that had been attacking frantically fled in all directions.

Lin Li tossed the corpse of a warrior bug that had been smashed to pieces onto the floor and let out a long breath.

"It's finally over." Lin Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Seven, restart the engines, prepare to retreat."

However, just as his voice fell, a sudden change occurred!

Because a psychic behemoth of the Norn Queen's level had died suddenly, its massive soul and psychic reserves collapsed out of control in an instant!

An extremely violent burst of Warp energy erupted from the center of the Norn Queen's corpse into the real universe of the Yuanwang Star System!

"Rip—!" Space let out an unbearable tearing sound.

Under the impact of this energy, the solid barrier between the real world and the Warp actually showed terrifying overlap and rupture in this area!
