Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 247 Evacuation
Tarasin merely moved his finger, and a necromancer scarab leaped up, returning to him in a short time.

He reached out and the Scarab Beetle slowly descended, its sharp claws gripping the spine of a body that was constantly twisting.

Tarasin grabbed the spine and pulled it in front of him, staring at the thing curiously.

The spine twisted its body, frantically emitting scarlet pigment. Its sharp tentacles tried to pierce the arm that was holding it, but could only make a tinkling sound.

Tarasin was somewhat regretful that he hadn't brought the tomb engineers with him. Otherwise, given such a miraculous scene and these peculiar creatures, perhaps they could have studied them.

But even if it's not there now, it doesn't matter much. Saying that, he took out the static force field from before, opened it, and directly trapped a snake-dog and several spines inside.

And as this change appeared in the far distance of the sky, it became a giant dome—a lighthouse!
Inside the enormous culture vessel at its very core, the Klotor system, composed of cyborgs and cyborg brains, suddenly glowed faintly on its surface.

This commotion quickly triggered an alarm in the lighthouse's command center, alerting all the core leadership.

Furthermore, the Mana ecosystem has changed, and various Devouring Beasts can now communicate with each other.

Various messages can be transmitted and biological targets can be locked using quantum entangled states.

However, the sudden disappearance of several basic units led the ecosystem to initially believe that some powerful artillery fire had blasted a few basic units into pieces, causing the Spirit Seed to shatter.

However, the Kloto system's core brain on the lighthouse observes the world's progress and changes through the quantum level.

At that point, its quantum entanglement suddenly breaks, making it impossible to predict its existence at the quantum level through changes in microscopic particles.

This made him wary, and even the Mana giant lying dead underwent subtle changes.

This made Bai Yuekui, who was wearing glasses, had a full head of white hair, and was taking a rare break while playing games, look towards a certain place as if sensing something.

"Roar--"

In the city where Tie Hui was located, the Devouring Beasts that were fighting and foraging in other parts of the city all turned to look at the coordinates in the gathering information sent by their companions.

The next moment, all the beasts stampeded!
"Lord Tiehui, our current situation..." Lahetu was about to ask when Tiehui interrupted him, "I'll explain once things stabilize." His expression was grave as he looked at the horde of Devouring Beasts closing in on them. "They're calling for their companions. While we can easily wipe them out, their sheer numbers will still slow us down. And if we kill too many, the ecosystem behind them might summon even more powerful beings to attack us!"

After glancing at the people around them, the Ultramarines, Sister, and the Imperial Guard had begun to calm down over time.

However, the many mortal soldiers behind Astartes, having encountered this strange alien for the first time, were already experiencing some emotional fluctuations due to the initial panic followed by the ease of the subsequent battle.

Although it wasn't that intense, the accumulation of numbers had already brought about a qualitative change in the eyes of the Devouring Beasts.

"Everyone, calm down!" Tie Hui commanded over the communication system. At the same time, the Mechanicus personnel dispatched their remaining few servo skulls to scan the surrounding terrain.

"Be careful of these Devouring Beasts... We must completely destroy the Spirit Seeds within their bodies before we can truly kill them. Otherwise, they can continuously resurrect by taking advantage of the magnetic field effect brought about by the ecology of this place!" Tie Hui looked at the group of snake-dogs in front of him, activated the holographic image on his right hand, and displayed it in front of him. This was a real-time image transmitted from the server skull.

Above, amidst the billowing smoke of countless beasts, not only were there snakes and dogs, but also some earth howls, their forms faintly visible. Tie Hui knew what these were; earth howls were the outer minions of the Mana ecosystem. Their appearance meant that this place was not far from the core of the Mana ecosystem.

The fact that these soldiers dared to attack them directly suggests that they were currently in the Mana ecosystem's territory.

This could mean that the Mana ecosystem has already taken notice of them!
Lahtu grabbed a charging snake-dog by the neck and began to observe it with great interest. Although the snake-dog's body, including its tail, was longer than that of the Imperial Guards.

But at this moment, the snake-dog in the hands of the Imperial Guards seemed to be just a little puppy being picked up and dragged along.

The snake-dog's... turtle-skin-like neck suddenly sprang up, and it opened its mouth wide to bite down hard on Lahetu's head.

At the same time, the tentacles on his body were rushing towards Lahtu, trying to absorb his life essence.

But the next moment, Lahtu, having finished his observation, suddenly exerted force with his hand, crushing the snake-dog's neck. The long, protruding neck instantly drooped down like something limp.

He threw it on the ground and then stomped on its abdomen until it was smashed to pieces. He then stomped on the rest of its body and finally crushed a spirit seed under his feet.

As he watched these bizarre creatures rapidly melt into black liquid, revealing their skeletons, Lahtu wore a look of utter contempt.

He's not even as good as Tyronn!

If this world were full of these kinds of creatures, he was confident he could slaughter them all by himself!
Meanwhile, the mortal army behind Astartes quickly put on makeshift protective masks.

At the same time, after receiving Tie Hui's orders, they quickly calmed themselves down. After all, in their original world, such aliens and the intensity of the battle were basically child's play.

So after experiencing the initial panic of encountering these strange creatures when they first arrived, everyone got used to it.

This single action significantly reduced the emotional intensity emanating from them. In the eyes of the Devouring Beasts, the life essence emanating from this group was rapidly decreasing, even beginning to disappear in large swaths.

A snake-dog in the herd stared with its big eyes, tilted its head, and looked over in confusion, completely baffled as to what was going on.
"The scan results around you, sir, are in the preliminary stages!" A mechanical priest stepped forward, looking at the tablet in his hand, and reported the current situation to Tie Hui.

After he finished speaking, a holographic projection screen appeared directly in front of Tie Hui's eyes. "According to the scanned path, we should now retreat to the southwest! We are currently very close to the outskirts. However, the servo skull ahead is affected by an unknown magnetic field, and we cannot fully scan the specific terrain and data."

"Have the Servo Skull lead the way, everyone begin to retreat southwest. Astartes will stay behind to cover the rear, the mortal Imperial Guard and the nuns will leave first!" Iron Radiance issued the order forcefully, and the command rang through everyone's communications. The mortal troops began to retreat in an orderly formation.

Tiberius and his fellow warriors stood at the forefront. Upon receiving the order, they summoned their own nanoblades, creating a strangulation line 30 meters away.

Any beast that collided with this line was cut into several pieces, and the spirit seeds exposed inside its body were then cleaved in two.
