Chapter 76 70. Imprisoned Corpse
Endurance, Think Tank Library.
Now.
" So
, that's it."
Fernando looked at Hades and told the story of the past.
Hades fell silent.
In his memory, the Four Gods only began to intensify their erosion of the physical universe after the Perfect City incident.
But it is clear that Fernando and his party encountered the Great Unclean One of Nurgle.
This was even before the Dusk Raiders encountered their Primarch!
Moreover, what the Great Unclean One said
when meeting Fernando and his group proves that its plan is correct. In other words,
could they be a decoy? !
A seed of corruption buried in the legion, a lead that leads to the corruption of the entire legion.
However, the demon's last words were,
"Except him."
Who was the "him" who could not accept Nurgle's curse?
It can't be Mortarion. Could it be?
Although Hades doesn't boast of being arrogant, at this moment, it seems that there is only one answer -
that is, Hades himself!
A Great Unclean One of Nurgle, who had already begun planning to ambush Hades before he joined the Death Guard? !
Hades felt a chill. Could it be that because he was trying to change Mortarion's fate of rebelling and becoming a demon in the future, Nurgle specially sent a Great Unclean One to destroy him?
Is he really so important? Or is he over-interpreting it?
But, other than that, Hades really can't think of a better explanation at the moment.
No, he could have a way to verify it.
Hades looked at Fernando again.
"Did your comrades at that time sacrifice themselves in the end?"
Fernando shuddered and fell silent again. After a long time, he slowly said,
"I couldn't kill him."
But Jose might be dead.
"So, I hope to turn to you for help."
Out of Fernando's selfishness, he temporarily concealed the results of the divination.
Hades's [current] tablet position is currently [Titan Reversed], which means that his plan has been broken.
But Fernando's card position is [Titan Upright Position], which means that as long as he takes the initiative, he can win.
He couldn't hold on any longer, so he had no choice but to make this decision.
Hades was holding a battle scythe, wearing a mk3 power armor with an enhanced respiratory system, and a deflagration gun hanging on his waist, standing behind the fully armed Fernando.
Just now, Fernando briefly explained the current situation, and Hades immediately decided to go back to get the sickle.
At the same time, he asked Fernando to notify Barazin, sealing off a ship area centered on the think tank library, and secretly evacuated all staff, servitors, or in other words, all living creatures here.
Fernando may not have a good understanding of Nurgle's power, but Hades knows that there is nothing to be careless about.
Fernando has been imprisoning a Nurgle plague carrier in the think tank library. So far, nothing has happened, which is really the Emperor's blessing.
Perhaps the chief think tank thought that his psychic imprisonment was working, and Hades hoped so too, but he still liked to think things were a little worse to be safe in advance.
It's possible that the devil stayed on this ship on purpose, not to expose himself, but only to wait for an opportunity.
Waiting for an opportunity to complete the "plan" mentioned by the devil.
No one except Fernando knows exactly what is hidden in the think tank's library.
Hades clenched the scythe in his hand, and the heavy feeling made him feel at ease.
Fernando's request to him was simple: help him kill "Jose" and get rid of the inner demons of the chief think tank.
Through Fernando's description of that "Jose", Hades is convinced that the only ones currently capable of resisting it are Fernando, who is mentally powerful, and Hades, who can isolate the subspace.
For an ordinary space warrior, being exposed to such a powerful psychic creature would be tantamount to seeking death.
Or worse, they are like babies with zero resistance in the face of Nurgle's plague. They will be eaten by the plague and then become corrupted and corrupted.
Although the monster was imprisoned by Fernando with psychic energy at the moment, it was still a bit risky for the two of them to kill it at close range.
You can never be too cautious when dealing with a subspace creature. However, Hades had no other choice but to kill.
He couldn't just walk away and pretend nothing happened.
Otherwise, he would give up the opportunity to go to Mars or even go to the battlefield, and stay in the think tank library to prevent this creature from escaping.
But if he can defend for a while, can he defend for a lifetime?
The Warp's corruption of the Legion is pervasive.
As an outsider, Hades once again felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
What he wants to change is destiny, so his opponent is the evil gods of subspace. They can even span time and play with living beings.
What does he use to fight the opponent? Is it just based on his untouchable physique?
No, there is always a way.
At least now, he was going to kill a Nurgle Blesser.
Hades realized more deeply that he couldn't just follow the legion's route, and he couldn't just hang around according to his previous ideas. This was too passive.
But now, with no other resources and channels, he can only take one step at a time.
As for Mortarion, Hades's preference was to let him know when the incident was over.
He didn't want Mortarion to come into direct contact with Nurgle's Blessed One now, who knew what would happen.
Hades didn't want Nurgle to take away Mortarion directly with a plague -
Fernando looked back at Hades. Hades finished thinking, and he gestured for Fernando to start.
They stood in a hidden corner of the library, and the darkness watched them silently.
White light suddenly emerged, and twisted spiritual energy flashed around Fernando.
The ancient spell was spoken from the mouth of the chief think tank. As the spell poured out, the bookshelf in front of the two slowly moved away -
Hades opened his eyes wide.
Golden runes were densely engraved throughout the space, complex formations were painted on the ground, and the walls were covered with weapons bestowed upon the Legion by the Emperor.
Countless papers filled with prayers were attached to the thick chains, and the chains trembled slightly with the fluctuations of spiritual energy.
In the middle, a crude psychic cage violently exploded with white light. Several iron chains extended from the four corners of the room, tightly binding the creature lying in the middle. The ends of the chains showed a colorful black color after being burned by fire.
That creature, that creature
, buzzed in Hades's mind, and he was very familiar with it as he had the memories of his previous life -
even though the paint was still blurred by the leachate, the Twilight Raider, even though he was wearing mk2 armor,
this was the plague. warrior!
There's a Plague Marine tied to the Death Guard's mothership!
Your Majesty!
Numerous thick, swollen, pale pink-gray intestines were exposed from the burst belly of the power armor, squirming and undulating slightly. In the breach, maggots were twisted along with yellow-black intestinal juice.
Corpse liquid slowly flowed out from every interface of the power armor. They slowly slid down along the arc of the armor, soaking in the stinky and green armor.
The most suffocating thing is that the head of this Space Marine, the breathing hose and his mouth and tongue are fused together, a slender and pointed pink tongue spits out, and the eyes of the helmet are black compound eyes that resemble spiders.
Hades could imagine the scene of these eyes moving, but now, these eyes were like dusty glass, distorted and full of pain.
There were still flames burning on his body, but every time the flames burned a bit of flesh and blood, the plague warrior's body regenerated a bit more.
This warrior looks dead, but his body is still alive and his soul is still imprisoned in this body.
Even Hades, who had seen the Plague Soldier model in his previous life, was completely shocked at this moment.
As if aware of Hades' shock, Fernando's calm but painful voice sounded,
"I burn him with a detonating gun every night to prevent his awakening."
In fact, in order to protect his comrades, Fernando burned him every night. They were all covered in armor and sleeping next to the corpse.
The room was full of psychic restraints, the corpses of his comrades were rotting and bleeding, and it was only then that Hades realized what kind of determination and tenacity the chief think tank in front of him had!
Hades took a deep breath, and the pungent rotten stench penetrated into his bones. He raised his scythe and signaled Fernando to remove the psychic cage.
However, the body moved.
