No Way You'd Guess It, I'm a Mage!
As the saying goes, when you encounter an insurmountable predicament, you might as well consider the boarding maneuver. Incidentally, this was said by Alvin.
As the leader of this massive colony and the Hive Overlord entrusted with a mission by the Hive Mind, he clearly underestimated the human's courage.
To dare to venture into the heart of the Tyranid Swarm with only one person—isn't that just courting death?!
Alvin was met with a furious roar.
It is the overlord of the hive, the vanguard of the Great Devourer, above the entire colony, a top predator—how could it possibly fear a mere human?
Court death!
This was Alvin's first time seeing the Tyran Rex, a top predator with a carapace covered in spikes and four strong, powerful arms, each wielding a serrated greatsword that looked like bone. A fierce and savage aura swept over him like a tidal wave!
Wearing armor and the "Yarngripir" helmet, Alvin unleashed a continuous surge of power. With the aid of the thrusters, his speed increased dramatically. His target was clear: the Zerg Hive Overlord!
As a top predator, the Hive Overlord naturally wouldn't back down. With its forelimbs thicker than the cannon barrel of the Landry Raider, it swung its bone greatsword and fiercely slashed at Alvin, who was diving down!
The power of this sword strike is enough to overturn a heavy tank!
Alvin abruptly stopped and turned mid-air, tracing a "" shape, almost grazing the edge of the sword.
They bypassed the attack from the Hive Overlord!
A hint of smugness shone through the compound eyes of the Hive Overlord; after all, it had four arms!
In the blink of an eye, with an agility completely out of proportion to its massive body, it swept its two arms with bone swords while blocking with one arm, forming a dense web of killing intent. Alvin's attempt to bypass that sword was instantly turned into walking into a trap!
However, the next second...
The Hive Overlord was dumbfounded. It was confident that it would never be able to escape the annihilation, but unexpectedly, Alvin, who was pierced by the sword blade, turned into countless butterflies!
Hoggs Ancient Body!
The fluttering butterflies scattered, Hive Overlord was stunned. Its compound eyes searched everywhere for Alvin's figure, but just as its Psychic Power detected him!
Alvin clasped his hands together, unleashing streaks of lightning imbued with intense light. "Borsat's Thunder!"
Because this move requires too much preparation time, it often requires creating an opening in actual combat. The time that the Hive Overlord is distracted and confused is just enough for him to prepare this move!
Boom!!!
The lightning, as violent as molten lava, traveled along the ground and through the air, roaring like a leaping dragon as it crashed into the body of the Hive Overlord!
The massive magical damage tore through the carapace of the Hive Overlord, causing it to let out a miserable scream.
"Didn't expect that, did you? I'm a mage!!"
Alvin saw the deep confusion flash in the eyes of the Hive Overlord, sneered, and formed hand seals again:
"The Aen's Form!"
His body suddenly disintegrated!
He can't create dozens of phantoms at once like Doctor Strange, but he can still manage a few!
Immediately afterwards, several clones unleashed energy whips to bind the Hive Overlord. The main body, Alvin, seized this momentary opening, rushed forward, and swung his sword upwards, gathering his strength to unleash a powerful strike!
La!!!
The Atropos's Blade easily sliced through the hard carapace of the Hive Overlord, as effortlessly as a hot knife through butter!
With one leg severed, the Hive Overlord lost its footing, Alvin immediately pressed his advantage!
"Die, you bastard!!!" He gripped his knife with both hands, about to end the life of the Hive Overlord, when he caught a glimpse of a Dark Figure hurtling towards him out of the corner of his eye!
Winnie suddenly dodged and slashed down with her sword.
When!!!
The intense flames surged forward, but the Dark Figure didn't retreat an inch. Suddenly, the sky was shrouded in shadow!
Winnie sensed the danger, grabbed his shoulder, and leaped backward!
At the same time, several heavy artillery shells came down, the intense firelight obscuring the Hive Overlord, and dozens of Zerg swarmed in, covered in thick armor!
"This is... the Tyrant Guard?"
Alvin recognized the insects.
These Zerg, covered in thick purple armor and resembling silverback gorillas, were designed to withstand ranged fire and defend the Hive Overlord; their defenses are almost maxed out!
Even the Space Marine's taurine armor is not as defensively capable as the Tyrant Guard; they can even withstand the siege cannons of Landry Raider tanks head-on!
A burst of specialized armor-piercing shells blasted into the carapaces of several Tyrant Guards in front of him, sending sparks flying. Surprisingly, the shells only created a few dents, truly astonishing Alvin. He couldn't help but gasp, "Such hard chitinous carapaces! What do these things eat to grow up like this?!"
The Tyrant Guardians have virtually no weaknesses; they don't even have eyes. If one had to point out a weakness, it would probably be their thick shells, which make them relatively slow and less agile.
However, this is only in comparison. From the perspective of ordinary Astra Militarum, the speed of the Tyrant Guard is still astonishingly fast!
Under the heavy artillery fire of the Tyrant Guard and the Hive Guards behind it, the Hive Overlord actually burrowed deep into the swarm, attempting to escape.
The apex predator escaped?!
It's not entirely incomprehensible. In the blink of an eye, he was almost killed by Alvin. What was he waiting for but to run away?!
He's an apex predator, not an idiot!
Knowing it's outmatched, yet still stubbornly charging forward—only a foolish human would do that. It held an absolute advantage; wouldn't it have been better to overwhelm Alvin with sheer numbers?
"Someone has to stop these things." Alvin frowned; the trouble these creatures were proving to be more difficult than he had anticipated.
It's not that it's unsolvable, but they have to deal with the Tyrant Guard on one hand and fight the Hive Overlord on the other, making it difficult to manage both.
"I'll hold them off." Winnie had also realized this, so she held her sword horizontally in front of her, blocking the several restless Tyrant Guard. Her long golden hair flew, and she said in a cold voice, "You're in charge of dealing with the Hive Overlord."
"You trust me that much?" Alvin licked his dry lips, a crimson glint in his eyes. His emotions were gradually ignited, as if he were in a scorching furnace, his body slowly rising with bloodthirst. "Aren't you afraid I'm just bragging and will kill you again?"
"Can you?" Winnie tilted her head and rolled her eyes at him. "Besides, it wasn't you who killed me that time. It was my own choice. I believe you won't betray my trust. It's that simple."
Poisonous fog?
No, in the helmet's detection mode, Alvin frowned slightly. This toxic fog clearly contained acidic substances, which didn't bother him, but what about Winnie?
Just as he was thinking about this, he turned his head and saw that Winnie was surrounded by golden light. Wherever she passed, all evil spirits were repelled and the poisonous fog was dispelled!
Good heavens, this is Old Man Huang's personal selection?!
With no need to worry about Winnie, Alvin no longer held back. The two combined shoulder cannons of the Sky-Shaking Unicron, with precise bursts, blasted the Zerg that released the poison mist to pieces.
Then, with the help of the thrusters, his speed suddenly increased dramatically, as fast as lightning, and he pierced into the mouth of a giant Tyranid Swarm, smashing it to pieces from the inside, blasting blood and flesh everywhere!
"Come on, why are you running?!" Alvin's purple armor was covered in Tyran's sticky flesh and blood, and he grinned like a demon from Hell as he chased after the fleeing Hive Overlord.
If the Hive Overlord could speak, it would probably be yelling right now: Don't come any closer!
