The Soul-Devouring Bees Died After Listening

The Soul-Devouring Swarm sensed the delicious human souls and brains.

A lot of.

Not far away, in the Pyramid right in front of them.

Even if they are not Psyker, as long as they are not untouchables, humans possess a soul that is connected to the Warp and resides in their brains.

And this soul is precisely the delicious meal that these Soul-devouring Bees crave.

Seemingly sensing the large number of brains and souls ahead, the Soul-Devouring Swarm Bees suddenly increased their flight speed.

Almost instantly, it covered the outer shell of the white marble Pyramid.

Kasgar wanted to give chase, but unfortunately, he could only walk on two legs and his speed was far from keeping up with these flying units.

It's time to put the jetpack thing on the agenda!

Anxious, Kasgar thought to himself as he sped through the buildings of Tizca, propelling his Power Armour Adamantium boots.

What made Kasgar even more uneasy was that there seemed to be very few Astartes of the Thousand Sons who could join him in driving away the Soul-devouring Bees.

"Ahriman! How many of us are left?"

"But Kasgar. I've never told you my name, how did you know—"

How did you know? That's obvious!

Of all the Thousand Sons, you're the dumbest-looking!

"That's not the key point! Quick, tell me the number of people!"

"Approximately two hundred Librarian. However, they will return to provide support as soon as the Primarch close the Warp Rift!"

There are very few Thousand Sons who can come with him, Kasgar, to stop the Soul-devouring Bees.

Although the proportion of Astartes with Psychic Power powers is high among the Thousand Sons, the majority of Astartes in the Legion are still non- Psyker.

Otherwise, where would the Rubric Marines of the Thousand Sons come from?

In Magnus's experience fighting these bizarre creatures, the Soul-devouring Bees, which can briefly roam in the Warp, only Psyker can better deal with them.

"It takes him this long to close a Portal rift?!"

"There's no way around it, my friend! A bee colony of this size is bound to have Queen Bee!"

"Once a Queen Bee directs the swarm's movements, even Primarch will be entangled by them, let alone having to focus on closing the Warp Rift!"

Queen Bee.

An extremely rare species among the Soul-Devouring Swarm.

It can command, strengthen, and coordinate swarms, causing their threat to humans to increase exponentially.

Only extremely large Soul-Devouring Swarm can produce Queen Bee.

It seems that the swarm of dark, Soul-devouring Bees in front of Kasgar is just their vanguard.

Meanwhile, the main force was currently engaged in a fierce battle with Magnus, preventing him from being able to spare any attention to help the others.

"Damn it!"

Perhaps it was because Kasgar and the others' actions were too obvious, or perhaps it was the attraction of Psyker to the Soul-devouring Bees.

A portion of the Soul-Devouring Swarm bypassed Tizca's large Pyramid and flew towards Kasgar and his group.

"Good timing!"

But upon closer inspection, the sheer size of this Soul-devouring Bees is quite imposing.

The adult insect's gleaming Psychic Power stinger, capable of piercing any armor, was being brandished repeatedly in front of Kasgar.

It gives people the creeps.

Fortunately, Kasgar also had a general understanding of how to deal with Warp Entity.

Fire!

The golden-red flames burned the Soul-devouring Bees to ashes the moment they encountered it.

"It's getting better and better to use."

Seeing that the results were good, Kasgar smiled and muttered to himself.

Since his last evolution in Gardinal, he now has a much deeper control over this Warp flame than before.

Even compared to a Psychic Power master like Ahriman, I can't be as proficient in prophecy, biology, fire, and force fields as they are.

But a single Psychic Flame attack is more than enough to deal with Warp Entity.

As Kasgar unleashed the Gold-Red Flame in his hands, and with the assistance of the Thousand Sons' Psychic Lightning from behind, those Soul-devouring Bees that dared to approach them were reduced to pure ashes.

Soon, this small group of Soul-devouring Bees was quickly extinguished by the group.

"Far from enough."

Kasgar remained deeply worried.

Their speed in eliminating the Soul-devouring Bees was far outpaced by the sheer number of the enemy.

Under their terrifyingly powerful poison needles, the Pyramid where the refugees had gathered was already riddled with holes from the black swarm of bees.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

"Stop them!"

Ahriman, experienced in dealing with these Soul-Devouring Swarm, shouted, "They're teleporting through the Veil of Warp to launch a sneak attack!"

Besides normal high-speed flight, what Soul-devouring Bees even more troublesome is that it can use short-distance Warp infiltration to pass through obstacles and directly penetrate the victim's brain.

Fortunately, to protect the Pyramid from being blown up, materials that suppress Psychic Power were added to the middle layer of the outer perimeter, which greatly slowed down the speed at which the Soul-Devouring Swarm entered the Pyramid.

But this does not mean that the Pyramid are safe.

As more and more dark holes appeared on the pristine white surface of the Pyramid, the closer the crowd got, the more reluctant they became to proceed.

The Soul-Devouring Swarm has already entered the Pyramid; the consequences...

It's unthinkable!

Inside the Pyramid where refugees sought refuge.

I still remember those thirty years.

Those Thirty Years

These were the most peaceful days of my life.

Those Thirty Years

[To unite my ideals with his ideals]

We are inseparable.

Standing in the center of the spotlight, Fulgrim slowly and passionately recounted to all the refugees her memories of the thirty years she and Kasgar had spent together on Chemos.

It's very infectious.

Even Kira, who never liked listening to this kind of thing, couldn't help but be deeply attracted to it.

"Etc--"

But it seems that, in the face of such a wonderful scene, some tactless viewers actually tried to interrupt her thoughts.

"Don't bother me! Tsk, what's wrong?"

"There seems to be some movement outside! It's the sound of insects!"

The person next to her spoke with a tone filled with fear.

To the Prospero people, the Soul-devouring Bees are no less than the most ferocious and ruthless Grim Reaper.

"It's the Soul-devouring Bees! The Soul-devouring Bees are here! We're doomed, we're doomed!"

"Run! Run!!!"

"What's the panic! The Primarch is still here, the Sons of the Emperor are still here, and we are under their protection!"

The crew members from the 28th Expeditionary Fleet found Prospero's reaction ridiculous.

It's just a few bugs.

Our Third Legion Primarch and Space Marine are perfect!

No enemy can defeat us!

As he spoke, the other crew members nearby murmured their approval.

"No. You wouldn't understand the Soul-devouring Bees, they are—"

The screaming Prospero's pupils dilated sharply with fear.

"They're here!!!"

It descended like a nightmare from the void.

Just as he screamed, a huge poisonous thorn pierced the back of his head, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Soul-devouring Bees!!!"

The Voidship crew may not know what these monsters are, but the local inhabitants of Prospero are very familiar with them.

In the area where they were gathered, the residents were instantly filled with fear and shoved and ran in all directions without regard for anything else.

If left unchecked, a stampede could very well claim the lives of the densely packed residents inside the Pyramid.

Either way, it's all the same – death.

"What happened?"

"This is a Psychic Power creature from Prospero called the Soul-devouring Bees."

The Sons of the Emperor, who was guarding the area around the stadium, answered.

"Our firepower doesn't seem to be working against these Psychic Power creatures!"

"A few have even broken through our defenses and entered the arena! Lord Vespasian and the Primarch have not given any further instructions!"

"Where is the Primarch? Why hasn't the Primarch given any further instructions?"

The reason is simple: when she thought things couldn't go wrong under Magnus and Kasgar's control, she left the communication device backstage.

She is now completely immersed in the stage art of performing "Centaur gold ring".

"I understand, continue the fight."

Vespasian's expression became unusually serious.

The Primarch was not with them at this moment, Sons of the Emperor had to rely on their own strength to deal with the attacks from the Xenos creatures.

What we should do now is to bring down these damned Soul-devouring Bees while calming the refugees and preventing a more serious disturbance.

"And another thing! Quickly send someone over to interrupt the Primarch's performance!"

He gave me a ring.

Fulgrim, immersed in the performance, has entered an extremely mysterious state.

It seemed that she was radiating a faint golden Radiance under the light.

Even if it was not affected in any way.

She held up the antique gold ring she wore on the little finger of her right hand.

Euphrates Kira was gripped by deep fear.

She clearly saw that the ugly, enormous, terrifying Psychic Power insect, the instant it pierced the back of the man's head, discarded him on the ground like trash.

Then, he turned to look at her.

"Run!!"

The surrounding crew members tried their best to escape, leaving her alone to face this terrifying Xenos creature.

Run!

Kira, why aren't you running?!

She also wanted to escape.

But fear made her legs feel as if they weren't her own, so she collapsed to the ground, unable to move an inch.

Gurgle.

She swallowed hard.

He gave me a ring.

At that very moment, Euphrates Kira sensed a Golden Light emanating from her.

In the center of a dark world, light appeared.

Golden light.

That light, coming from the center of the stage, illuminates and protects all the beautiful things in the world.

She saw it.

Even though her audience seats were countless miles away from the stage;

Even though she was sitting on the ground, her view blocked by the crowd of people pushing and shoving each other as they fled, she could still see.

She can see!

It was a golden Centaur, its bow drawn like a crescent moon, giving her a gentle smile.

The golden arrow was launched.

She can see.

The arrow flew towards the Soul-devouring Bees beside her.

Hit!

The Beast let out a painful Psychic Power shriek and vanished into nothingness amidst the rain of arrows and pale golden ripples.

The pale golden ripples soothed her pain as they reached her.

She was no longer afraid.

No longer have any doubts.

Her gaze fell upon the ancient gold ring worn on the little finger of Fulgrim's right hand in the center of the stage.

"The Soul-devouring Bees have disappeared!"

"By the Emperor! How did you do that!?"

The surrounding crew members swarmed around them at that moment.

"Can't you see the Centaur, the golden arrows, and the ripples?"

What?

Centaur? Golden arrows and ripples?

After hearing her words, everyone looked at each other in silence.

Compared to their previous overwhelming fear, they felt a sense of inner peace for some reason.

In their eyes, only the Soul-devouring Bees suddenly let out a shriek when facing Kira, and then quickly turned into ashes.

Where are the golden ripples and flying arrows?

He said I was his Centaurus.

Just as Fulgrim spoke, another golden ripple swept over the group.

"So... you can't see it?"

Kira struggled to her feet, her eyes now tinged with a vibrant gold, just like her golden hair.

[Buzzing]

She could hear that there were even more Soul-devouring Bees outside the Pyramid, preparing to enter and devour their souls and minds.

And the solution naturally came to her mind in the next second.

"Quickly! Follow me and recite along with Lord Fulgrim!"

Kira spoke with a devout expression, as if she were praying to God.

I still remember what he said to me back then.

As she spoke, another, smaller Golden Ripple, like a resonance of the same frequency, merged into the words of Fulgrim from the center of the field.

"Efficient!"

"After I finished reading it, I felt calmer!"

"That one over there! That Soul-devouring Bees over there died after hearing that!"

The method from Kira is now spreading and expanding among the audience.

The refugee crowd, who had been in a state of chaos and on the verge of collapse, suddenly seemed to receive some kind of revelation.

More and more viewers joined in chanting the phrase "Centaur gold ring" along with Fulgrim.

[Fulgrim, you will always be my [Centaurus]]

Like a hymn being sung.

The uniform phrases echoed continuously within the magnificent Pyramid.

As soon as the words were spoken, the Soul-devouring Bees that dared to trespass into the Pyramid instantly screamed and vanished from the world.

Wherever you roam in the future, I will always be by your side.

What are they doing?

Fulgrim was somewhat bewildered as she listened to the crowd following her as if possessed.

While her performances can be incredibly captivating at times, is it really necessary to sing a duet with her?

Despite her doubts, she ultimately did not dampen the audience's enthusiasm.

The ever-expanding Golden Ripple turned even more Soul-devouring Bees to ashes as the crowd uttered each word.

This is—our promise.

As the last, melodious sentence fell, the intense pale Golden Ripple, and even the golden rain of arrows in the Centaur's hand, broke through the physical barrier of the Pyramid.

It was transmitted directly to the outside of the arena, knocking down all the Soul-devouring Bees that were still frantically chiseling at the wall.

The Soul-devouring Bees died after hearing this.

But Kasgar

He couldn't laugh.

"This is--"

"What the hell is this?!"
