The story starts in Chapter 16 of "Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monster Horde": "Mm! Keep observing! The battle group will notice our situation here and send reinforcements when... Don’t miss it!

"Mm! Keep observing! The battle group will notice our situation here and send reinforcements when the time comes. As we expected, this giant monster might achieve the final victory," said the captain of the Space Marine. A colossal Titan beast that can infinitely grow stronger through slaughter—unless it can be killed in one strike, he couldn't even imagine the consequences. If this Titan beast could fly, he could already conclude that the Tyranid swarm would be utterly defeated. It has already undergone five evolutions, so there's no reason it couldn't evolve a sixth or seventh time. After all, there are more than enough Tyranid corpses. Hopefully, the battle group leader will become aware of the situation here and quickly send reinforcements. The Empire's higher-ups must know about this monster. "Let all soldiers take a good rest, replenish their strength, and eat some military rations. The outcome of this battle is still uncertain!" The officers nodded and began relaying the orders from the Space Marine captain. All regular soldiers were ordered to rest, while some high-ranking officers gathered to observe the Titan beast up close. The most anxious person on the scene was Scribe Sister Atoria. Given the current situation, she had no idea when she'd be able to leave this extremely dangerous planet. She wondered if Elena had managed to deal with that guy. ... Meanwhile, the battle between King Red and the Tyranid swarm continued. In the blink of an eye, morning turned to noon. Inside a cave, Rhodes let out a huge yawn. It had been a full day and night since he arrived in this world, and now he was utterly exhausted. His stomach was empty as well, so he grabbed a military ration can nearby, opened it, and stuffed the sticky, unidentifiable chunks of meat into his mouth. He had successfully survived for a full day in the grimdark Warhammer universe. Without his invincible golden finger (cheat ability), an ordinary human crossing into the Warhammer universe might not even last an hour. Right now, Rhodes desperately wanted to sleep for an entire day and night, but under the current circumstances, he couldn't afford to close his eyes. If he fell asleep and forgot to enhance King Red, leading to King Red being killed by the Tyranids, he would be devastated. "If you're sleepy, you can take a nap. I'll stand guard by your side. That big guy has recovered again—I think it'll fight the swarm for a long time. If there's danger, I'll wake you up," said Elena, looking at the exhausted Rhodes. This time, she genuinely wanted him to rest, not just knock him out with an injection. After all, she hadn't obtained his genetic seed yet! Hearing this, Rhodes rolled his eyes. It's precisely because you're here that I don't dare to sleep. What if you take advantage of the situation and send me off? Defeating the Tyranids, only to end up falling into your hands—that would be a huge loss. "No need! I can hold on," Rhodes shook his head. When it came to this seemingly pure, sweet-voiced, and beautiful Hospitaller Sister, Rhodes didn't dare to let his guard down for even a second. Besides, given the current situation, he might close his eyes for a few minutes, but he definitely wouldn't be able to fall asleep. On the battlefield, King Red was slaughtering Tyranids, turning countless bugs into energy that was transferred directly into Rhodes' system. After several hours, Rhodes had earned another 4,000 system coins, bringing his total to 12,000. Soon, he could perform a 2,000-point height enhancement, followed by a 3,000-point enhancement, a 4,000-point enhancement, and even a 5,000-point enhancement. However, the 5,000-point enhancement could only be used for increasing height—body mass could only be enhanced four times. Compared to height, increasing mass was more effective. Height only made King Red's figure larger, but increasing mass provided an all-around boost, especially in terms of defense, which was crucial. Rhodes estimated the cost: 2,000 points once 3,000 points twice 4,000 points twice 5,000 points once He still needed 21,000 system coins to fully maximize King Red's power. At King Red's current rate of slaughter, he would generate enough system coins to reach his full potential. If things went exceptionally well, King Red might even evolve further—perhaps into an EX form. Crossing into a world where the Tyranids were invading was certainly dangerous, but it was also an opportunity. If it had been anywhere else, Rhodes wouldn't have been able to farm points at such an insane speed. By the afternoon, after another round of enhancements, King Red became even more ferocious. He held out for about eight hours before his health was finally depleted. Without hesitation, Rhodes spent 2,000 points to enhance King Red's height. King Red's height increased to 49 meters. As golden light flashed, the massive creature was once again revived at full health. This marked King Red's fourth full resurrection, and at 49 meters tall, his form was even more terrifying. This evolution seemed to confirm something for the Tyranids. Their relentless assault suddenly stopped—they no longer attacked as ferociously as before. Several powerful Tyranid units, including heavy elite Lictors, Tyranid Warriors, Hive Tyrants, Hive Lords, and even Tyranid Primes, actually withdrew from the battlefield. Only basic units like Hormagaunts, Termagants, Ravagers, and Gargoyles remained, forming a blockade around King Red. The Tyranids deployed countless cannon fodder units to encircle King Red, ensuring he couldn't leave a certain area. However, they no longer actively attacked. Seeing this, Rhodes ran a few tests and confirmed that as long as King Red stayed within a certain range, the Tyranids wouldn't attack him anymore. They would even deliberately move out of his way. Realizing this, Rhodes's eyes lit up. Finally! The Tyranids are intimidated! The Tyranids were searching for King Red's weakness. If they kept fighting like this, it was meaningless. After all, they still didn't fully understand their opponent. Though the Tyranids were aggressive, they weren't fools. They were either looking for King Red's weakness or planning something else. Rhodes had a feeling that the next time the Tyranids attacked, it would be a decisive, all-out strike. Are the Tyranids stopping their attacks? That wouldn't do. If they weren't going to fight, then he would force them to. Rhodes knew that he couldn't let King Red show any signs of exhaustion or weakness—he had to maintain an overwhelming offensive presence. Only by doing so could he trick the Tyranids into miscalculating, making them believe King Red had the potential for infinite evolution. "King Red, charge! Attack proactively!"
