Fungal Abyss.
The clock gears spun at high speed, and the remaining corrupted network in Ultramar sped up, as if trying to buy time.
Mortarion then contacted Ku'gath, the Plague Lord's first favorite.
His voice was hoarse and gloomy: "You have obtained the blood of two Primarchs. When will the plague of God appear?"
A year ago, after failing to corrupt the core node Yax, the planet that symbolized the sacred number seven, the Death Lord had to change his plans.
He chose a hidden planet with the sacred number three, secretly corrupted it, and brought down a triple plague there.
It can serve as a factory for Ku'Gath to brew the plague.
In order to conceal their tracks, Nurgle's favorites sacrificed many great plague stars, and important leaders also hid their locations.
To avoid being besieged by the Imperial Regent and the Savior.
Fortunately, everything went well.
The current decline is only temporary or he did it deliberately to protect more important goals.
Once the divine plague is successfully produced.
They could poison both Primarchs at once, dragging Ultramar and the surrounding worlds into the Garden of Nurgle.
Welcome the final victory.
Cough cough cough——
"Father, it's too humid here. There's rain everywhere, and the firewood is wet."
Kugath was choking on the thick smoke and felt gloomy. "The divine plague has reached its final stage, a multiple of three, perhaps three hours, three days, thirty-three days, or three months.
It won't be long before the perfect plague arrives in this world."
He said with great conviction, "I have obtained a more perfect formula for the Divine Plague, adding three times the amount of plague ingredients.
Now it can kill the Primarch, any son of the Accursed, including you, my Lord of Death.
It can also kill any demon and make it cease to exist."
The divine plague is so terrifying that its toxicity can act on both matter and souls at the same time, destroying both.
Mortarion nodded and said, "As soon as possible, the Regent and the Savior have become suspicious and are looking for our plague factory.
The Scourge Stars have also come under more attacks, and more and more beings are joining this war. We must kill the two Primarchs before the situation falls into complete chaos.
Otherwise, Father Nurgle's plans risk failure."
"Hurry up, you rotten little wretches, and fill the cauldron, and do not let your laziness spoil the great cause!"
Kugath urged the other side to speed up, then turned to look at the Death Lord: "I will speed up the process, ahem, if there is nothing else, I will continue to brew it.
Ah, I'm so tired, maybe I should take a good rest…"
As he spoke, the first darling turned around and walked back with a thud. The body formed by the mycelium shrank and gradually disappeared.
He left.
The Fungal Abyss fell silent again.
Mortarion thought of something and used his sickle to ring the bell again. Another horned figure appeared accompanied by a swarm of buzzing flies, and faint human screams and wails could be heard.
"What do you want from me?"
Typhus crossed his arms and said without the slightest hesitation, "Your weak and incompetent decision has affected your father's great cause.
Perhaps you should hand over command and let me save the situation."
"Keep your promises and do your job well."
Mortarion did not argue with the gene heir, nor did he want to provoke him and cause more trouble: "Your enemy is the Savior, stop him, don't let him get close to our plague factory.
We need the coming of the plague of God!"
Typhus's eyes were cold, as if he had issued an ultimatum: "I will stop the Savior, but not because of you, but because I am following the will of my loving father.
This is the last time. If the plan fails again, you will no longer be qualified to issue orders..."
"Thousands of worlds and countless souls within them are ripening. We are almost there. The trap is set, and the two Primarchs will step into it, ready for our harvest."
Green smoke emanated from the respirator on Mortarion's face, and then the communication ended, and the fungal image of Typhus collapsed.
Afterwards, this dark area fell into silence again.
…
Dream.
The cloning laboratory on the bottom of the ship.
"I didn't expect this plague to be so severe..."
Ron's face was filled with pain, and his body was covered with festering sores, as if he had been attacked by some kind of plague.
As more and more lost territory was recovered, Ultramar's corrupt network seemed to have fallen into a final madness, emitting an even stronger smell of plague.
This also means that assassinations and sneak attacks by Nurgle demons are always everywhere, and it is not easy to get rid of the plague after being infected.
In the case of a deep infection from the unnatural plague, even a panacea is difficult to treat, and even the light from the sacred tower cannot heal it.
Because the overly violent energy will wipe out the plague and the cells it is attached to, and then cause more serious damage.
In this case, you can only use the specialized version of the panacea - purification potion to slowly heal it, but it is a bit expensive.
"Savior, please don't move."
The gentle and lovely medical sister came over and carefully examined the savior's entire body through the protective suit, and then came to a conclusion:
"Given your physical condition, you'll need fifteen ultra-concentrated doses of purification potions to heal."
"This is too expensive, isn't there any other way?"
"This is the only way. Your immune system is completely collapsing, and it's also slightly affecting your soul. Fortunately, your spiritual energy can still resist."
"well..."
Ron frowned, feeling a little distressed. He was hesitating whether to get treatment.
Since the plague war requires a large amount of purification agents, its production capacity is very tight. Fifteen super-concentrated doses of purification agents are enough to purify and cure more than ten planets.
That represents hundreds of billions of lives.
"Then it's incurable!"
He looked at the Medical Sister with a resolute expression: "Leave the purification potions for the Purification Department to deal with the plague. The suffering people of the Empire need these drugs more. I can still handle them myself.
This little pain will not affect my war against the devil, and we will surely win!"
"Savior, you are so kind, but your body..."
The Medical Sister shed tears. She could understand the pain caused by the plague and felt very distressed.
The medical sisters around also shed tears.
What else do they want to say?
However, the Savior forcefully asked these medical sisters to leave: "Go out, there are more patients in the Empire who need your treatment."
The medical sisters looked back every few steps and finally left in tears.
And all the savior left for everyone was a kind and generous back.
The picture freezes.
A camera captured this touching scene, documenting the Primarch of Hope's kindness and his resilience in the face of the plague.
It makes people cry.
Afterwards, the Savior publicist who was in charge of recording also left wiping away tears.
The Savior's Propaganda Department will transmit this precious video to the Savior's territory and all the imperial territories that can receive the message.
Let everyone know the Primarch's kindness and love for the people of the Empire, as well as his indomitable spirit.
This will encourage more humans.
"Hiss, I can't hold it anymore..."
Wait until everyone leaves.
Ron finally stopped posing and slowly turned around, his face distorted by the torture of the plague.
He was just cooperating with the propaganda work. War is war, but the promotion of his identity as the savior cannot be neglected.
That means more prestige and faith.
Afterwards, he asked the biological sage to inject him with an excessive amount of sedatives to relieve the pain as much as possible.
Although this would cause greater damage to the body, there was no need to worry about that.
The body of this savior is not as strong as that of the regent. It is more strengthened at the psychic level and cannot endure any hardship.
However, Ron did not regret refusing to use the purification potion.
Because it's really too expensive and not worth it. You should save when you can and spend when you can.
Anyway, this body that has been used for more than ten years is now useless. The old one has to go and the new one has to come, so it's a good time to replace it with a new one.
Ron passed through several heavily guarded gates and entered the deepest restricted area of the cloning laboratory.
That clone storage area hides the Savior's deepest secrets.
Without any hesitation, he found a hibernation capsule and lay down in it as if he was familiar with it.
Bang——
Blazing, high-temperature flames gushed out, burning the Savior's body to ashes, and even a small ash bomb exploded, purifying all the remains.
He scattered all his own dust.
Next second.
Another incubator opened, and the savior, with angular muscles and a body as if made of pure gold, stepped out, and the sticky nutrient solution on his body evaporated in the air.
The savior body No. 4 is officially activated.
This is a more perfect body that uses the latest technology, and some parts have been strengthened.
More majestic and charming.
"Yes, you get what you pay for. This body is more comfortable than the previous one."
Ron moved his body, adapting to the clone No. 4, and arcs of psychic energy flickered around him.
This body was cultivated with materials equivalent to the resources of several planets, and can adapt to higher-intensity battles.
These cloned bodies also provide him with the confidence to participate in front-line combat from time to time.
The dangers of the Imperium's war with Chaos are beyond imagination, with mortals and even Space Marines often surviving no more than two episodes.
During the war, forbidden weapons and methods will be used, and even the primarchs will die on a large scale.
Some ancient forbidden artifacts are so powerful that even the emperor would not be able to withstand them.
In this situation, if I don't have some protection, I probably won't live long.
Ron put on a dark golden robe and covered his face with a mask to prevent people from noticing the new changes in his body.
He then entered a special passage and returned to the Savior's Sanctuary to deal with matters related to the Plague War.
In the miniature garden.
Ron listened to Taco's latest report.
Today, humanity has recovered more than 70% of Ultramar's lost territory and saved countless lives.
The situation is very good.
This also proves that the Plague War is about to enter the stage of decisive battle, which is also the most risky stage. We must always be vigilant against the counterattack of Nurgle forces.
One wrong move could lead to a complete loss.
He frowned, "Has the reconnaissance team found the plague factory that created the God's Plague?"
Tucker shook his head, his expression gloomy:
"Investigators are still searching and have not yet obtained any specific clues."
This was what Ron was most worried about. The Big Fluttermoth was too calm, allowing one Chaos Line after another to be lost.
That is obviously unusual, and there is a high probability that some conspiracy is brewing.
The only secret weapon he could think of that was hidden by the Nurgle forces was the extremely mysterious divine plague that was said to be able to kill gods.
Once that horrible thing is made, we will be in a passive position.
Because no one knows how the divine plague works, and how it destroys an original body and forms a more terrifying virus.
Can it pollute the entire Ultramar?
Because of Ron's intervention, many events that were originally going to happen were changed. Yax and more planets were not destroyed, and trillions of human lives were saved.
However, he was not sure whether this could prevent the coming of the divine plague.
Although he has tried hard to prevent the leakage of his true genes, it does not seem to affect the creation of the divine plague.
Because they still have the blood of the Regent.
It would be too easy for the Nurgle demons to obtain Lao Ji's blood.
That guy had been attacked countless times, and his blood was all over the starry sky, so he was easy to find.
In the original timeline, Ku'Gath only used the blood of the Regent to create the horrific divine plague.
In other words, there is a high probability that the divine plague will appear on the battlefield again.
Judging from the current behavior of the Big Fluttering Moth, he is most likely to have moved the plague factory to another place, which is why he is so confident.
This could lead to more dangers.
Ron pondered what might happen after the divine plague arrived.
What if the Great Fluttermoth poisoned the Queen Regent and instead of dragging him into the Garden of Nurgle, he killed him outright?
Or they could carry out other plans and directly release the plague to infect Ultramar, the Savior's Territory, and more core areas.
Destroy the vitality of the two Primarchs.
If he were a big shot, there would be no need to argue with the Regent. He could directly send the divine plague to Holy Terra and poison all the high lords and officials of the empire.
Wouldn't the empire be in chaos?
"Hiss~ It doesn't seem to be that chaotic." Ron took a breath when he thought of this.
What if those high lords, nobles and high-ranking officials lost their power?
The empire may experience short-term pain, but it may be a good thing in the long run. The regent can send his own people to take over the empire, which may be even better.
After all, Ultramar's governance achievements are obvious to all.
Alternatively, the Savior Territory could send officials to take over the affairs of the Empire, allowing it to further expand its power and bring greater benefits to humanity.
Therefore, for the Great Moth, the greatest way to harm the Empire is to kill or corrupt the Empire's only two remaining Primarchs and extinguish the Empire's light.
"Then the question arises..."
Ron pondered this question: "Guilliman was still saved after being infected with the plague, can I be saved?"
He didn't have much confidence in this and didn't dare to gamble.
Judging from the fact that he had been infected with the plague many times, the strength of his cloned body and even his original body was not very durable.
There is still a risk. What if you get really hurt after being infected?
Thinking of this, Ron's expression became serious.
He hadn't felt this kind of life-threatening tension for many years.
The only way now is to prevent the divine plague from appearing in this world.
For example, destroy the plague factory or use the corruption network to kill the Nurgle Garden, forcing the Nurgle demons to abandon the galactic battlefield and return to defense.
Ron was reading the research progress on the corrupted network sent from Black Abyss Star.
The Great Wizard, Maou, the Black Machinery Queen and others have completely disassembled and studied the corruption machine, and have initially mastered the operation of this technology.
Relevant operational experiments are currently underway.
I believe they will soon be able to research and create chaotic network technology for Black Abyss Star.
The energy source used by this technology is not the Chaos God, but Diablo, the dark side of the little sun itself.
That would be a major breakthrough.
Afterwards, he received a challenge statement from Kabanha, with a hint of pleading in the tough tone.
Lao Ka was really furious, and almost said:
"Please, give me some face and respond to me."
The Supreme Bloodthirsty Demon suffered deliberate cold violence from the Savior and the Dark Prince, and he vented his anger countless times.
He felt like he was losing his dignity and suddenly no one paid attention to him anymore.
This was a deliberate result created by Ron in order to arouse his anger and achieve a certain goal.
Now, it is time to respond to this good brother, so as to prevent him from being too impulsive.
But not as a savior.
After Ron gave the order to the reconnaissance team to expand the search range at all costs, he logged into the Dark Prince's small vest.
——
Bloodship of Khorne.
In the Hall of Skulls.
Kabanha leaned back on the throne, looking somewhat depressed.
The army of this supreme bloodthirsty demon has been following the will of the Blood God and continuously attacking the territories occupied by Nurgle forces, but he himself has little desire to fight.
He still felt ashamed that his challenge was ignored.
What's even more frustrating is that he can't find the savior and the Dark Prince who ignore him.
Suddenly, Kabanha noticed something and looked up suddenly.
Buzz~
A dark energy from distant stars appeared in the hall, some kind of long-range sorcery.
"Kabanha."
The cold and arrogant figure of the Dark Prince appeared, staring at the Supreme Bloodthirsty Demon with his scarlet eyes.
"Dark Prince!"
Kabanha was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth. He never expected that the Dark Prince, the guy who had taken away his glory, would dare to come to him first.
How arrogant this is.
"I admit that you are a powerful being."
Ron controlled the Dark Prince without any hesitation: "I heard that you are good at war and siege, but I will defeat you in the field of war.
My Dread Legions will attack the Garden of Nurgle.
If you dare to attack that territory, we will compete with each other for spoils!"
He didn't give Kabanha a chance to talk back and ran away as soon as he finished speaking.
The shadow dissipated in the flames, leaving only a challenging contract in the hall, which was particularly glaring.
roar--
Kabanha reacted and roared angrily.
He called Baal and said, "Let the army assemble. The attack on the Garden of Nurgle has been brought forward. We must gain the most from this war!"
Kabanha had originally planned to attack the Garden of Nurgle.
Now, stimulated by the Dark Prince, he accepted the contract and advanced the plan.
Although this supreme bloodthirsty demon looked angry, he actually felt a little excited in his heart.
I finally have the chance to regain my glory!
On the Scourge Stars and around Ultramar, the Blood God's armies began to gather one after another.
…
Heart of fear.
Ron controlled the Dark Prince and ended the communication with Lao Ka.
He believed that his good brother would accept the challenge he issued, lead the army of Khorne to attack the Garden of Nurgle, and serve as a vanguard to explore the way for him.
There is no way, the Blood God and the Lord of Change have been holding back.
I guess he is just waiting for Nurgle to consume enough power of the Empire before looking for an opportunity to attack the Lord of Plagues.
But Ron didn't want them to succeed.
It's better to let these guys fight first. It will buy time for yourself and allow you to fish in troubled waters. Maybe you can even force the Lord of Plague to withdraw.
Moreover, his own chaotic network is almost ready.
At that time, we can join forces with the Regent to enter the Garden of Nurgle and steal some while they are fighting.
Just as Ron had made plans to attack Nurgle Garden, he received the latest intelligence.
The reconnaissance team suspected that they had found the location of the plague factory, which was located on a planet on the edge of Ultramar, and there was no sign of complete fall.
"This is a double blessing!"
He was quite delighted and immediately contacted Guilliman, sending him the location information of the planet and mobilizing all his human and alien troops.
Including allies such as the Eldar and the Necrons.
Afterwards, Ron looked at the Dark Thunder Guards under the throne with his scarlet eyes: "Summon the Dread Legion, we need to attack Nurgle's Plague Factory!"
The Heart of Fear is now relatively close to the planet, so it's a good time to go over and explore the way.
This will be the most important battle in the territory of Ultramar, and also a huge melee among many races and forces.
It determines whether the war in the real universe will end here.
at the same time.
The Nurgle beings also seemed to have received some kind of information and mobilized their armies intensively
