The behemoth, writhing in pain, struggled violently. Meanwhile, another Tyrannosaurus arrived on the battlefield, its wings broad and rugged. The Winged Tyrant raised its bone sword and swung it at Hades!
Hades ignored the tyrant. His scythe was stuck in the neck of the giant serpent, liquid splattering. The serpent violently shook its head, even pulling Hades, who was stuck in its neck, along with it.
Now is not the best time to exert force, so Hades deliberately blunted the scythe.
Hades shifted his grip on the scythe to a more comfortable position, tightening his hold and using the momentum to swing, preparing to find a more advantageous angle. However, the Tyrant Bone Sword was already upon him from behind—
塡!
The tyrant froze abruptly. It was as if other beings had suddenly descended into the narrow space where the two sides were fighting. After a brief moment of being suspended in mid-air, the stunned tyrant fell to the ground!
However, Hades didn't even glance back at the tyrant's strange phenomenon! Like a swing, he swung high, then tightened his grip on the serpent's neck.
The blunt sickle that had been suffocating the giant insect suddenly felt lighter!
Before the giant earthworm realized what was happening, it found its vision flipped upside down. In the inverted world, it saw a decapitated body convulsing and falling back to the ground!
As the insect fluid splattered, Hades used the force to flip over. Turning around, he saw the Tyrant struggling to flap its wings, stammering as it took off again, trying to regain control of its body after the brief impact of the dark domain.
It was too late. Hades' hand, which hadn't grasped the scythe, gripped the upper part of it. The metal melted, and the long scythe snapped in two. One end Hades took became a giant axe, and the other end became a chain.
Hades swung his axe directly at the Tyrant, who had not yet recovered!
The battle axe whipped up a powerful wind and roared fiercely.
Click! ! !
The tyrant's head armor shattered, the axe sank deep inside, splitting open the brain-like tissue, severing the mouth, and getting stuck right at the last membrane of the tyrant's lower jaw.
Hades yanked the chain, and the axe flew back into his hand.
That's it?!
Hades shouted as he slammed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust. Two sickening thuds followed as the insect carcasses fell one after the other beside him.
"not enough!!!"
Hades laughed and slowly stepped out of the dust and mist. Just as he had wished, on the other side of the endless battlefield, in the mist that almost disappeared into the horizon, the mountains began to move.
Long, slender branches pierce the earth, supporting an extremely arched body—that is the Insect Saint!
The Insect Saint, known to the Empire, is one of the largest creatures of the Terrans, and on the battlefield, it is a unit that rivals the Titans!
The mountains stretched endlessly, one, two, three... five!!!
Just like its slender appendages that are completely disproportionate to its enormous body, the Insect Saint slowly rises up with a speed that is completely inconsistent with its massive size. Its blade-like appendages pierce the earth, raising dust, which is filled with the deadly gaseous gel secreted by the Insect Saint.
Realizing the decapitation strike had failed, Tyrande immediately dispatched five Insect Saints, determined to crush this greenskin force! To decapitate that strange greenskin warboss!
Hissing sounds emanated from the narrow bio-cannons on either side of the tentacle-like protruding head. Hades seemed to already hear the maggots gathering, and once the distance was right, these five insect saints would immediately open fire on him!
Compared to these five colossal creatures, the infantry and vehicle warfare that filled the world was nothing but ants!
At this moment, countless Zerg rushed towards Hades from the cracked earth and fell from the sky, completely reckless, purely to delay Hades!
Tyronn is fighting with sheer numbers—not seeking to suppress, but simply to hold them off!
Hades was buried by a dense swarm of insects and corpses. In the insect mountain, there was no trace of Hades to be seen at all!
Tyren knew that this wouldn't harm the enemy leader, so the approaching Insect Saint was the real killer move!
The Insect Saint sped forward, about to bring the enemy leader into its firing range, but behind Hades, who was buried by Tyrannosaurus, space began to distort violently.
Frost blanketed the earth in a dense, thick layer; massive, brutally powerful missiles shot out from the void; and arcs of psionic electricity rained down from a huge, mobile pile of junk.
It's psionic teleportation!
And what is being transmitted is—
The twelve massive ancient behemoths roared, their triangular piles of garbage shoveling across the earth. The green-skinned boys stood atop the magnificent structures, waving their arms, while countless illegally added cannons cheered and eagerly unleashed their firepower.
In the language of the Greenskins, "Ancient Colossus" can refer to a knight or a Titan—its size is something I'll have to figure out.
Who says only Tyrion can have Titans!
The moment the twelve ancient giants appeared, the five sprinting insect saints suddenly slowed down—the entire insect hive's consciousness seemed to freeze for a second.
The next moment, all five Insect Saints extended their appendages and plunged them into the ground in front of them, immediately braking, turning around, and retreating!
Meanwhile, the Tyranids who were engaged in fierce battle with the Greenskins immediately adjusted their tactics, covering the retreat of the bio-rich Tyranids!
The mountain of insects, nearly as tall as a knight, cascaded down countless corpses. At the base of the mountain, several Tyrannosaurus Rex were knocked away.
Hades calmly stepped out of the cave beneath the insect mountain, brushing off the insect remains on his body. Beside him, the ancient giant roared louder, the earth trembled, and billowing black smoke rose from its chimney.
Hades smiled as he watched Tyrion almost flee in disarray.
Who says he's the only high-combat-power unit on the battlefield?
The cheering giants in front of him clearly agreed with Hades's point of view.
Another victory.
----------
In the void, countless compound eyes on the giant insect's body rotated nervously, and countless similar giant insects gathered together to form the void consciousness of the swarm.

[...spirit...can cut off...short-range metal control...intelligent body...extremely strong...high...value...gene...gene application...]
[…no direct samples were collected…]
[Collect...Collect...Collect]
[...assembling...]
The Tyranid shadows that covered almost the entire star field began to writhe and contract; they had not yet split and were still subordinate to the will of Leviathan.
The Hive tentacles, which require at least two Starfleet Legions to barely contend with, have begun to assemble. Mass, mass that holds an absolute and overwhelming position, is their mass war.
They come for quality.
--------
The Tyranids are arguably the most easily understood race in this galaxy, bar none.
Hades thought to himself as he lazily sat on his green throne, simultaneously directing the battles on five planets.
On the other hand, he was urging this vast green-skinned empire to get moving, as the newly recovered lost territory needed to be put into production immediately and produce something.
There were no traitors, no baffling maneuvers, and no impulsive actions. The Terrans came solely for victory, constantly evolving based on the battle situation.
This is what a race capable of expanding wildly should look like!
Hades thought of this, but unfortunately he couldn't command Tyrion—what if the other side had shown even a hint of sociability?
The heavy and urgent battle reports made Hades put aside this idea, and he continued to concentrate on playing the management game. It was precisely because of Tyran's characteristics that the difficulty of fighting Tyran increased dramatically.
In short, try not to make mistakes; the margin for error in this war is extremely low.
Especially considering that the current quality of the Terran is at least twice that of the Greenskins.
The game is all about quality. If you have superior quality compared to other players, and you minimize mistakes, you'll have a much better chance of winning.
If both sides have equal computing power, the side with the greater quality is almost guaranteed to win.
The more fewer units a player has than Tyronn, the harder it is to beat them.
Hades couldn't fathom what those who allowed the Tyranids to feast freely in this star system were thinking. In Octarius, the Tyranids' power had grown like a snowball.
Therefore, Hades must immediately begin his management game, turning as much of the planet's resources as possible into greenskins.
But... it's not impossible to win.
If this were a purely physical world, Hades could simply give up and go to sleep. He and the Orks alone couldn't win; he would need at least another Guilliman and Macardo to increase computing power and improve fault tolerance.
But the good news is, this is a damn semi-idealistic world—
Since they lack mass, they can borrow energy from the subspace!
Your mass has an end, but my subspace energy is infinite.
Not to mention that the Greenskins are a race entirely composed of psionicists!
While a large Tyranid force would weaken the warp, the situation could be reversed if enough Orks were to accumulate.
Moreover, besides direct confrontation, Hades' use of warp energy is evident in every aspect—
Hades roughly calculated that the power of my thoughts accelerated the growth rate of greenskins by at least 40% and production efficiency by 70%; in addition, 80% of greenskin weapons were just scrap metal after leaving the power of my thoughts.
To simplify, for every unit of food a Tyren consume, they produce 0.8 units of warriors (with 0.2 units lost or worn down), or provide 0.8 units of energy for one hour of combat.
For every unit of food a greenskin consumes, 0.8 warriors are produced (0.2 units of wear and tear), or a single waaagh provides 2 units of energy for one hour of combat.
The question is, what exactly is the extra portion that the subspace supplemented?
As long as the greenskin thinks it can keep fighting, it can keep fighting!
Anyone who sees this would have to call it a born war machine!
Hades was deeply moved, so he intensified his plan to exploit the Greenskins, carefully using incentives and empty promises to make up for the lack of material resources.
The best and simplest approach is to invigorate a greenskin to the point where it receives just enough energy from the warp to immediately send it to the battlefield, thus gaining two units of mass.
Use two more units of quality to produce two more green skins, incentivize them, and gain four units of warrior strength for one hour of combat. Throw them onto the battlefield and exchange them for four units of quality!
Hades would call this method "Warspace Cash-Out"!
Crazy cashing out of the subspace!
Just thinking about it made Hades almost burst out laughing. He, who had always been an enemy of the warp, never dreamed that one day he could exploit the warp in this way.
Although Hades was initially somewhat averse to it, he couldn't resist the allure of the warp.
What's even more interesting is that the warp does not obey the law of conservation of energy and matter. The more the greens wagh, the more warp energy they acquire, and the more intense their emotions, the more energy the warp produces!
While there will be losses and perfection is impossible, Hades also has—
The great Magnus!
Magnus is diligently cultivating wizard boys.
According to the laws of subspace, in addition to emotions, information and knowledge also possess power.
In other words, by nurturing the wizard boys with knowledge, Magnus can gain even more power from the warp—extracting a dozen units of energy without expending a single unit of mass!
This knowledge can even be repeatedly monetized!
Knowledge is power!
Had Magnus not screamed at Hades to shut up, Hades would have loudly praised the great Magnus.
In Hades' eyes, Magnus is now almost a perfect perpetual motion machine. As long as he transforms the original energy "knowledge" in a way similar to "boiling water", he can keep obtaining energy!
What? This is compressed Magnus. Put it in a pile of greenskins and soak it, and a bunch of wizard kids will grow.
Hahaha, Hades came to Asia Space to freeload!
Hades finally understood why the Emperor was unwilling to give up the warp. In a world where the physical world was not advantageous, the warp was practically a cheat code!
By exploiting the differences in the rules on both sides, they cashed out aggressively and disgusted their enemies.
If Tyrion had a personality, seeing Hades's actions, he'd probably yell, "What the hell?! Have you no shame?!"
In reality, the Tyranids also possess psionic units, but in the context of the Tyranid warp projection being a dark reality, their psionic units are more like simply channeling the power of the warp.
When using psionic energy, worms like brain worms do not exhibit obvious emotional fluctuations, nor do they use tokens or other such intentions.
These extragalactic creatures have not yet evolved the kind of diverse subspace ecosystems and activities typical of the Milky Way, no, they are more like a vibrant tapestry of life.
“It was the warp,” Hades, who wished to remain anonymous, said gratefully, “it was the warp that gave me the opportunity to disgust Tyrion and turn the tide of battle.”
Even more shameless, no, even more brilliant, is that Hades' very existence conveniently avoided all the risks of using the subspace.
