Infinite Metaverse

Nurgle's power dissipated in the Voidwhale's belly, but the damage they had wrought remained. Although the material of the ship's hull has changed from the loose and porous sponge flesh wall back to hard steel, the giant cave in the bilge and the corridor from the bilge cave directly to the bridge are still there.

After this battle with the plague army.

The strike cruiser had become semi-crippled.

At least some major repairs are needed before it can start sailing again.

What's even more deadly is that the mortal soldiers and Space Marines who died from the Nurgle Plague will not come back to life because of the departure of the Nurgle Demon Army. Just three "ripples" released by the Great Demon of Nurgle directly killed 80% of the mortal crew of the battleship and nearly half of the space warriors of the 10th Space Wolves Company. In addition, there were also those who died while fighting Nurgle's demonic army. The losses were heavy.

Kor'gas Plaguefather.

Nurgle's favorite Great Unclean One (as of now).

It's so terrifying once it's launched.

Fu Qinghai has heard of Kugas’ name. The Nurgle camp is relatively happy and peaceful, unlike the workaholics of the Khorne camp and the jealous ghosts of the Slaanesh camp who emphasize individual combat power rankings. The character of Ku'gas has always been that of Nurgle's favorite demon - not the most powerful demon in Nurgle's camp.

Because while other Great Unclean Ones were still working hard to spread known viruses, Ku'gas was already working on developing new plagues. He was equivalent to the inventor and chemist in Nurgle's Great Demon. This made him deeply loved by Nurgle. . Ku'gas' representative works include two psychic viruses: "Bone Blight" and "God Plague".

The former is mainly designed to target Orks.

The latter is said to poison the Primarch.

In addition, Ku'gas has a unique personality. Most of the other Nurgle demons are cheerful optimists, but Ku'gas is a pessimist and often doubts that his father's plans will fail. And other Nurgle demons like music, but Kugas hates being interrupted by music while working.

The Space Wolves suffered heavy losses due to Nurgle's demon army.

Fu Qinghai was not hurt at all.

He was very well protected by the Goblin Armor.

The Uru metal power armor possessed by eight evil spirits may not be indestructible when faced with other physical damage such as nuclear bomb explosions or orbital bombings, but it can almost be said to be indestructible when faced with various psychic and magical attacks. Defense is full. This is a battle armor developed specifically for subspace, with too many top-level magic materials piled up.

When Fu Qinghai first faced Kugas, he was very passive. Regardless of size, strength or magic skills, he was easily crushed by the Great Unclean One. But in the end, he was defeated by the solid shell of Uru metal and the soul-absorbing properties of Saronite. he. The clouds of flies and torrents of ichor summoned by the Plague Father were unable to break through the ghost armor's defense in a short period of time.

At the same time, Nurgle Demon's most powerful plague, corruption and pollution, the Ghost Armor also has a targeted response plan - Pazuzu among the eight demons, an ancient disease originating from the Mesopotamia civilization, is said to be able to control hurricanes and locust plagues. A powerful demon, one of the areas it controls is "disease".

When Fu Qinghai found Saroyan.

The red-haired soldier was sitting in a daze on the crack in the deck. The Space Marines around him were calling on the Chapter's servants to rescue the wounded, deal with the corpses, repair the damage, and the entire bridge was in a mess.

"Saroyan."

Fu Qinghai said.

"Qingshan..."

Saroyan raised his head stiffly, with wisps of red beard around his cheeks covered with blood and minced meat. He looked particularly embarrassed and asked in a dry tone:

"Have you dealt with Nurgle's demonic army?"

Fu Qinghai nodded:

"Kulgas Plaguefather was killed by me."

"What are you going to do next?"

Saroyan asked with a tired look on his face.

"Where's the blindsight?"

Fu Qinghai did not answer but asked instead.

"I'm here!"

shouted a woman climbing out of the equipment box.

Fu Qinghai looked at the blind woman and said sarcastically:

"I thought you were dead."

Blindsight patted the greasy stains on his body:

"I don't care about it, Khan. Although I can't see it, my prediction of danger is sharper than anyone else."

Fu Qinghai carefully observed Blindsight's face and found that she had initially regained consciousness. She was no longer smiling like she was before and sniffing from time to time. It seemed that she had escaped from the side effects of the undead medicine.

So he stopped Blindsight and asked:

"What should we do next?"

"I have no idea."

Blindsight shook his head and said.

"Listen, Blindsight."

Fu Qinghai pulled the blind girl aside, raised his hand and pointed at the lonely back of Saroyan Skasson sitting on the edge of the crack in the deck, bent down and leaned closer to Blind Vision and lowered his voice and said:

"Your prophecy caused the Space Wolves to lose half of their company and most of the mortal crew on the battleship. They are very angry now. If you have any new methods, you'd better come up with them now, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."

"I don't see anything wrong with my prediction."

Blindsight raised his face and retorted:

"I have seen countless future endings, all of which are death. Only this choice can save us from death. As for what happens after entering the belly of the void whale, I'm sorry, this is not within the scope of my prediction."

Meaning: She doesn’t take the blame.

"Then can you make that prediction again?"

Fu Qinghai asked.

"Elixir of death? Unless you want me to die."

Blindsight said with a sneer.

After talking for a long time, I still have to rely on myself...

Fu Qinghai straightened up and looked out the window.

"I'll go outside and take a look."

Fu Qinghai passed by Saroyan.

He patted his shoulder armor and said.

…

There was no need to open the hatch. There were cracks all over the hull of the Spear of Russ. Fu Qinghai found a crack and got out, the bat wings behind him spread out and flapped violently.

The Devil's Wings made of N metal may not have as strong a thrust as the jetpack, but the flying speed is still not slow, and Fu Qinghai quickly carried Fu Qinghai away from the cruiser.

Looking at the surrounding dark red flesh wall again, I found that all the yellow shingles that were once densely hanging on it had exploded, leaving only a series of ulcer pits. The Nurgle demon bred in the blisters had disappeared.

Fu Qinghai carefully recalled the settings of the Void Whale. According to the data, the Void Whale can even form a unique ecosystem in its body because of its huge size, and has become the home of many weird subspace creatures. The void whale that attacked the Empire's space fortress in 41K had an alien race called "murlocs" living in its body, which once caused a lot of trouble to the Space Wolves that jumped to join the whale.

But after a brief exploration, Fu Qinghai did not find any alien race or other creatures in the void whale - it seems that after the Nurgle demon army infected the whale, it had cleaned out all other creatures inside. . This speculation is somewhat reasonable, because when the cruiser first entered the Void Whale's body, the demon's original words were:

"Welcome to the Plague Ark."

It means that the Demonic Army of Nurgle thinks it has occupied this place, and wants to transform this whale into the so-called "Plague Ark" to spread their evil and corrupt beliefs.

But……

Why did the void whale swallow the cruiser?

Fu Qinghai stroked the dark red flesh wall and thought.

Is this its spontaneous behavior?

Or was it an act under the control of Nurgle's demonic army?

Thinking of this, Fu Qinghai looked at the ulcer pits on the flesh wall again, and suddenly his heart moved. He raised his claws and inserted them hard into the mess of tissue. Faint blue light spots floated between the claw blades and were absorbed by the claws. The void whale is also a subspace creature, and Saronite can naturally absorb its soul.

Then the entire flesh wall began to tremble violently.

Fu Qinghai kept his claws inserted into the ulcer wound and looked up in all directions. This wall of flesh is like a giant city wall with no end in sight. As the ghost armor begins to absorb the essence of the soul, the dark red wall begins to shrink and spasm inward, undulating and spreading like a ring wave.

"Stop it, human!"

A voice sounded out of thin air in my heart:

"Otherwise I'll chew you up!"

There are no words, no phrasing.

Just a thought asking to "stop".

"Aha, so you are self-aware."

Fu Qinghai smiled and said.

Then he pulled out his claws.

The eight demons let out a grieving cry of unwillingness.

"I have not yet been completely corrupted by Nurgle."

The voice in my heart spoke.

"so……"

Fu Qinghai guessed it right away:

"You deliberately swallowed this cruiser and held it in your mouth just to let me help you remove the Nurgle infection in your mouth, right? But I'm curious, how do you know this battleship can help you deal with it? Nurgle’s army?”

The voice was silent for a while.

After a while, he slowly said:

"I once accidentally swallowed a planet fragment. Later I found out that the planet fragment had been contaminated by the power of Nurgle, and the poison of corruption and disease spread everywhere. Then Nurgling and Nurgle began to grow in my mouth. Nurgle beasts, these Nurgle demons began to multiply and spread in my body, infecting my flesh and blood, and attracted the Great Unclean One. They wanted to completely corrupt me and turn me into the so-called 'Plague Ark'."

This example tells us not to eat randomly.

Fu Qinghai then asked:

"Then what?"

The consciousness deep in my heart continued:

"The power of the God of Disease is too powerful. I can't eliminate the Nurgle infection in my body. I can only watch them eat away at my flesh and blood step by step and use them to proliferate and multiply until the day when the plague spreads to my brain. I am in my soul. Drifting aimlessly between the sea and the real universe, a patient infected with a terminal disease is waiting for complete necrosis of his body..."

"Until one day, I broke into an area where there was an icy sun hanging in the sea of ​​souls. The radiance of that sun was so intense that it burned me deeply and made my whole body tingle, but it was magical. Yes, the Nurgle pollution in my body is gradually fading under that light, and I can hear the piercing screams of the Nurgle demons."

"Um?"

Fu Qinghai's heart moved when he heard this.

An icy sun in the warp?

Could it be...

Fu Qinghai recalled what Tracy once said to him. The chief navigator described it this way: the light of the star torch seen at different locations in the galaxy is different.

When they sailed in the solar sector where Holy Terra was located, the light of the Star Torch was as dazzling as the stars in the midday sky, and it was impossible to ignore it. And when they sailed in the border star areas of the empire, such as the Marquez King Star Area, the light of the star torch was like an oil lamp in the dark night, erratic and disappearing, and they had to work hard to see it clearly.

According to the scene described by this void whale, it was even burned by the light emitted by the sun. Then this unlucky guy may not just accidentally enter the sun star region - it may have entered the solar system because it was too close. Holy Terra caused it to be burned by the light of the Star Torch.

"Then I realized that the mysterious power emitted by that cold sun could eliminate the infection in my body and resist the power of the plague god. But I couldn't get too close to that sun, because I would also be in that light. He was seriously injured and even burned into flames, so he could only turn around and leave."

"I continued to drift aimlessly in the sea of ​​souls until I heard singing. I followed the singing. I felt in you a trace of the feeling that the cold sun once brought to me, so I ignored everything. Swallowing you through the storm, hoping to bring me relief..."

The void whale finished telling the whole story.

"I see."

Fu Qinghai nodded clearly:

"So, I can still be regarded as your savior?"

"No, you have to leave my body."

The void whale sent a stern thought.

Okay, okay, okay, burning bridges, right?

Fu Qinghai raised his hand and inserted his paw into the ulcer.

Insert deeply until your entire arm is inside.

"Rumble, rumble..."

The giant flesh wall began to tremble violently and spasm again.

This is not the same as Nurgle infection. Nurgle infection is like boiling a frog in warm water and cutting the flesh with a blunt knife, spreading the disease and erosion bit by bit. And the Nurgle Demon Army does not want to kill the Void Whale, but just wants to transform it into another form - Nurgle is the god of life, and he does not like to destroy life.

Saronite directly absorbs souls.

This is the essence of harming the Void Whale.

"I'm sure you can spit out the cruiser - whatever you ate in it. But you can't spit me out because I'm too little, right?"

Fu Qinghai asked with a smile:

"Would you like to reconsider?"
