Meanwhile, on the other side, inside the dim Pyramid.
Relying on Ultrasonic Detection and Thermal Vision, Lilith moved through the intricate passages. Any Xenomorphs she encountered were either devoured or crushed under her massive frame.
Against Lilith's massive size, the Xenomorphs were completely unable to offer any resistance.
In a short time, Lilith discovered the storage room for the Xenomorph Eggs.
Her claws gripped the stone walls on both sides of the entrance as Lilith poked her hideous head out. Her body finally emerged from the passage, and her massive Bat Wings unfurled, completely filling the space.
Lilith lowered her head, her crimson vertical pupils scanning the stone room. The surroundings were covered in an unknown slime, and rows of Xenomorph Eggs were neatly arranged on the floor.
They were densely packed; at a glance, there were at least a hundred of them.
A hint of greed flashed in Lilith's eyes. Ignoring the Xenomorph embryos about to hatch, she opened her bloody maw, revealing rows of sharp Fang, and began devouring the surrounding Xenomorph Eggs one by one.

[Devoured Xenomorph Egg, Xenomorph Gene Fragment +1]
...A series of notifications echoed in Lilith's ears, fueling her desire to devour. Lilith completely unleashed her primal nature. Facing the Facehuggers that launched themselves at her upon hatching, she simply opened her bloody maw and swallowed them whole.
She gave the Facehuggers no chance to parasitize her; besides, their size made it impossible for them to parasitize Lilith anyway.
"Rustle, rustle—"
Just then, rapid sounds echoed from the passages in all directions.
Then, hideous Xenomorphs crawled out of the passages. They looked at Lilith, hissed and roared, and leaped toward her, their sharp claws directly striking Lilith's silver-white scales.
For any ordinary creature, such a strike would be enough to shatter a human's skull, but against Lilith's silver-white scales, it left only a barely visible scratch.
Unable to pierce her defense, the Xenomorph was snatched up by Lilith, stuffed into her mouth, and chewed.
After Lilith devoured that Xenomorph, swarms of them began to pour out one after another.
Clearly, devouring the Xenomorph Eggs had crossed a line. They had received orders from their Queen to kill the invader, or rather, to stall her!
Through Lilith's Thermal Vision and ultrasonic feedback, she could see Xenomorphs converging from all directions within her detection range. Their numbers were massive, filling nearly half the Pyramid.
Facing such a force, Lilith didn't show the slightest panic. Instead, she bared her Fang and flashed a hideous smile.
The Xenomorphs gathering was exactly what she wanted!
...Meanwhile, on the other side, the other three Reincarnator teams had used the Xenomorph Eggs they acquired to parasitize several dying people, setting the remaining eggs aside.
Suddenly, rustling sounds came from the surroundings. In the dim light, Xenomorphs rushed toward their position.
This startled all the Reincarnators, but they quickly regained their composure.
"A perfect chance to test the power of the Shoulder Cannon."
Watching the Xenomorphs, a playful glint flashed in the Scarred Man's eyes. Although the Shoulder Cannon couldn't auto-aim like an Iron Blood Warriors' weapon, aiming by sight was sufficient.
A blast of blue energy fired from the Shoulder Cannon, instantly blowing the first attacking Xenomorph to pieces.
Then the second, and the third.
The Scarred Man fired the Shoulder Cannon while the others joined in to clear out the Xenomorphs.
With three Shoulder Cannons and nearly ten rifles firing together, the Xenomorphs had no chance. They were either blown apart or shredded by the intense gunfire. The first wave quickly collapsed under the overwhelming firepower, forced to retreat into the shadows and wait for another opportunity.
After the volley, the Scarred Man and his group felt their bodies go numb. The recoil of the Shoulder Cannon was immense; even with their enhanced bodies, it was difficult to withstand.
However, the power certainly did not disappoint.
They looked at each other with excitement. Such power was impossible for carbon-based lifeforms to withstand; once hit, their fate was to be blown to bits.
With such a powerful weapon, they no longer had to fear those monsters.
While the three were celebrating, the Xenomorphs gathered again. The Man with Glasses also noticed something was wrong; these Xenomorphs were clearly trying to wipe them out completely, no longer relying on their previous hit-and-run tactics.
"After equipping the Shoulder Cannons, these Xenomorphs must have labeled us as enemies, which is why they're swarming us together."
The man next to him frowned. Even though they had encountered many Xenomorphs before, this had never happened.
If what the Man with Glasses said was true, they would have to devise a new battle plan. If this continued, their ammunition consumption would become unpredictable.
Unlike the worry shown by the Man with Glasses and the other, a fierce glint flashed in the Scarred Man's eyes as he spoke in a low voice.
"Then we'll kill them until they're terrified to come near! I don't believe these Xenomorphs are truly fearless like in the movies!"
Just as he finished speaking, a tail stinger pierced through the Scarred Man's chest. This sudden development shocked everyone, and they instantly turned to look.
Behind the Scarred Man, an exceptionally strong Xenomorph had appeared silently at some point.
The group glanced at the corpse with the burst chest nearby and quickly realized what had happened, their faces turning pale.
They hadn't expected the Xenomorphs to burst from the chests so quickly; this completely derailed their plans.
Intense gunfire instantly engulfed the Xenomorph, while everyone else remained vigilant and quickly sought cover.
At this moment, many Reincarnators showed looks of terror, their previous confidence gone.
Soon, another Xenomorph emerged from a passage to ambush them, but it was driven back by bullets within moments.
Compared to the previous ones, these Xenomorphs were more agile, their speed was faster, and their bodies could even withstand dozens of bullets while remaining fully mobile.
Just then, a claw crushed the head of another man holding a Shoulder Cannon. Everyone looked over to see a tall Werewolf had appeared out of nowhere, its bulging muscles striking fear into their hearts.
They instinctively pulled their triggers, but the Werewolf used the corpse as a shield to block the bullets. Then, taking advantage of the gap while they reloaded, it hurled the corpse at them and quickly vanished into the passage.
Suddenly, a snap of fingers rang out, sounding eerie in the gloomy and tense environment.
Then, a Xenomorph was suddenly teleported behind the Man with Glasses. Before he could even react to the chill down his spine, his skull was shattered by the Xenomorph's Inner Jaw.
