Green and golden energies of destruction gathered inside the barrel. When they reached their peak, a beam of intertwined green and gold shot out, slicing horizontally through the Tyranid Fleet above Euronia III like a precise surgical scalpel.
Every Tyranid Bio-ship touched by the beam was sliced open, and its penetrating power never diminished. Even the seas and mountains on the planet caught in its path had enormous sections gouged out, as though a sharp blade had made a cut on a vast scale.
Cheng Mingrui had modified the Necrons' anti-C'tan weapon, making it devastating on conventional battlefields rather than effective only against the C'tan.
Of course, that was not all the shot did. Tyranid Bio-ships clustered too closely together were struck as though by magical chain lightning, spreading the energy of the golden lightning-and death-from one to another.
The Tyranid warships struck by the lightning began to disintegrate. Flesh collapsed and bone shattered. The once-mighty Tyranid Bio-ships proved as fragile as piles of sand.
It was a chain reaction of collapse at the genetic level. The Necrons' anti-C'tan weapon could shatter a C'tan into fragments, and after being modified, it could produce the same effect in conventional combat.
The Swarm Consciousness reacted quickly, immediately dispersing the Tyranid Fleet, yet half its fleet still suffered casualties. Many large Bio-ships with formidable vitality had survived the initial strike, but even they had sustained devastating damage.
After running the calculations, the Swarm Consciousness realized that this single shot had cost its Tyranid Fleet eighty percent of its combat strength.
The Orks had developed another new weapon! This had happened frequently on Octarius, but it had never expected the Orks to perform even more astonishingly in such a remote place.
The Swarm Consciousness realized retreat was impossible. With the Orks possessing such a
