Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 859

Chapter 853: Even the Gods Have to Retreat

While it’s called “eating,” in reality, what Gu Hang did was stuff the Queen into his Storm Kingdom.

Not only the Queen, but also a Neuron. This thing is merely a bonus. Its potential to boost Gu Hang’s power is actually quite limited, but he still has to eat it.

At least it’s better than a mosquito leg.

The true tonic is the Queen.

This Queen is vastly superior to the one from the Iron Armor Wars, not even on the same level.

The Queen from the Iron Armor Wars was captured and raised by the Iron Armor Chapter and the Alfonzo Cult, then lost control. Objectively speaking, she hasn’t reached her full potential. Even with her connection to the Hive Mind Network and the massive Hive Fleets dispatched from the Void Black Hole of Readuches, all under the Queen’s control, her overall size has only reached the minimum of a tentacle fleet.

To put it bluntly, she’s still somewhat underdeveloped. Unless the Zerg Queen’s plan to spread parasites and harvest biomass throughout the Spider Web Sector succeeded, then with the vast biomass nourishment, she might have been able to transform into a truly terrifying natural disaster, threatening the entire Imperium.

Unfortunately, her actions were interrupted by Imperial forces, led by the Alliance. Even in the heart of the outbreak, the Princess Sector, she had only consumed a little over a third of the biomass. Furthermore, much of the biomass she consumed and digested was never transported back to her, never hatching into Zerg warbeasts, and failing to provide her with sufficient nourishment.

But the Zerg Queen in Omgeria was different. She had nearly reached the pinnacle of the Zerg Queen hierarchy. The “tentacles” she commanded were also quite powerful. Of all the Void Zerg tentacles encountered by humans in the Imperium, this one was actually the strongest.

However, the Greenskins they faced were also top-tier.

The original Orc tribal empire of Omgeria, which had occupied an entire star region and flourished for decades, was nothing special. While powerful, its strength was limited. After the Queen arrived at Omgeria, this clan was put to the test.

Who knew Bonebreaker would arrive?!

The most renowned Orc leader in the known universe, with his elite troops, arrived on the battlefield, leaving this powerful “tentacle” battered to the point of exhaustion, forcing it to fight for its lifeline, ultimately leading to its capture by Gu Hang.

But this did not diminish the Queen’s power.

When she was captured by the Storm Kingdom and bound to the central altar, bombarded by surging thunder, relentless and eternal, the entire kingdom received a long-awaited nourishment.

Each bombardment shattered and ripped away fragments from the Queen’s warp essence. These fragments were absorbed and digested by the Storm Kingdom, each one strengthening it from the very foundations.

The digestion process wouldn’t take long.

It was estimated that in less than two weeks, the Queen would be completely shattered, all of the Warp’s essence consumed and absorbed by the Storm Kingdom.

However, this process presented a danger.

Earlier, when Gu Hang had first intervened in the war in Omgeria, he had sensed several hostile gazes within the Warp. One of these was a distant, dark object, symbolizing a dead silence and coldness.

Gu Hang believed it was the Warp’s supreme will.

The Void Will was not a native inhabitant of the Warp, but rather the collective will of countless, immensely powerful Void Zerg. Its power resonated throughout the Warp, forcing even the Four Gods and the Emperor of Mankind to take notice, and even to some extent, avoid its glare.

The destruction of a powerful tentacle, and the consumption of its Queen, was a significant loss for the Void Will.

Even though it wasn’t a Warp entity, and might have difficulty exerting influence within the Warp, Gu Hang still had to be on guard.

What if?

What if the boundless, densest, and most terrifying Warp shadow directly enveloped his Storm Kingdom, determined to crush him?

But fortunately, that didn’t happen.

That cold gaze quietly faded as the Queen was captured and continuously digested.

Gu Hang breathed a sigh of relief.

This meant that the Void Zerg had completely withdrawn from the war.

In fact, this was the most normal thing.

If the Zerg Void Will had truly acted as he had imagined, recklessly attacking with all their might, he would have suffered, but would the Void Will have been spared?

That wasn’t certain.

Gu Hang was no longer the kind of “little thing” to be crushed with a single finger. He could still hold out for quite a while, and even his counterattacks could inflict damage.

And in the process, would the other Warp powers have any special thoughts? What price would the Void Will pay for this?

Besides, what good would killing Gu Hang do? The real-world battlefield of Omgeria had already reached this point, and the Zerg had already been defeated. Just to save a Zerg Queen who had already lost the vast majority of her forces…

was it worth it?

So far, Gu Hang hadn’t even considered the Emperor of Humanity, whose intentions he himself couldn’t fathom.

Retreating the Void Will and accepting defeat might be the most reasonable option.

…

One of the two main foes of the Omgeria campaign, the Void Zerg, had been defeated.

But that didn’t mean humanity’s challenges were any less severe.

Without the Queen, the Zerg units that had once fought the Orks on various planets had become mortal and inert, practically oblivious to their existence.

However, although Gu Hang ultimately captured the Queen of Worms, the war was undoubtedly won by the Green Orks.

How much would a victory of this magnitude change the Orks?

Gu Hang, who was in the Ankachi VIII system, the epicenter of the previous battle, saw it all clearly!

The mighty Waagh energy stirred a terrifying green storm throughout the corresponding Warp!

It seemed as if two Ork faces would appear and disappear amidst the waves of the Warp. Their cruel and cunning laughter would make even the most fearsome gods retreat.
