Chapter 287: The Dentist of the Void Whale
Nurgle's power dissipated in the Void Whale's belly, but the damage they caused did not. Although the material of the hull has changed from loose and porous sponge flesh walls back to hard steel, the huge cavern of the bilge, and the corridor that leads to the bridge from the bilge, are still there.
After this battle against the plague army.
The strike cruiser has turned into a half-crippled man.
It will take at least a major overhaul to get back on the road.
What's even more deadly is that the mortal soldiers and space marines who died from the Nurgle plague will not be resurrected by the departure of the Nurgle army. The three "ripples" unleashed by the Great Demon of Nurgle alone directly killed eighty percent of the mortal crew of this battleship and nearly half of the space marines in the tenth company of the space wolf. In addition, there are those who died in battle with the Nurgle Demon Army, and the losses are not insignificant.
Kugas: Father of the Plague.
Nurgle's favorite Great Impure (as of now).
It's so terrifying as soon as it strikes.
Fu Qinghai had heard of the great name of Kugas. The Nurgle faction is relatively cheerful, unlike the workaholic of the sadomasochistic camp and the jealous ghosts of the Slaanesh camp with the same emphasis on individual power rankings. Kugas's character has always been Nurgle's favorite Archdemon - not the most powerful Archdemon of Nurgle's faction.
While the other Great Impurities were still trying to spread known viruses, Kugas was already working on a new plague, the equivalent of the inventor and chemist of Nurgle's Great Demon, which made him a favorite of Nurgle. Kugas's masterpieces include two psionic viruses, "Bone Dry" and "Divine Plague".
The former is primarily designed for Orcs.
The latter is said to be able to poison genogens.
In addition, Kugas has a unique personality, and while most of the other Nurgle demons are giggling optimists, Kugas is a pessimist and often suspects that his father's plans will fail. While the other Nurgle demons love music, Kugas hates being disturbed by music at work.
The Space Wolves have suffered heavy losses due to the Nurgle Demon Army.
Fu Qinghai was not hurt at all.
He was very well protected by the Goblin Warframe.
Possessed by eight evil spirits, the Uru Metal Power Armor may not be indestructible in the face of other physical damage, such as nuclear bomb explosions or orbital bombing, but it can almost be said to be fully defended in the face of various psionic and magical attacks. This is a warframe developed specifically for subspace, and it is stacked with too many top-level magic materials.
Fu Qinghai was very passive when he first faced Kugas, and was easily crushed by the Great Impure in terms of size, strength, and magic skills, but in the end, he defeated him with the sturdy shell of Uru metal and the soul-absorbing attribute of Saron's evil iron. The cloud of flies and pus summoned by the Father of Plague was unable to break through the Goblin Warframe defenses in a short period of time.
At the same time, the most powerful plague of the Nurgle Demon is corrupted and polluted, and the ghost armor also has a targeted response plan - Pazuzu among the eight demons, an ancient disease demon originating from the civilization of the Two Rivers, a powerful demon that is said to be able to control hurricanes and locust plagues, and the domain under its control is "disease".
When Fu Qinghai found Saloyan.
The red-haired warriors were sitting in a daze on the crack in the deck, and the surrounding starmarines were calling for warband servants to rescue the wounded, deal with the corpses, repair the damage, and the entire bridge was in chaos.
"Saloyan."
Fu Qinghai said.
"Aoyama ......"
Saloyan raised his head stiffly, the red beard around his cheeks was knotted into strands, and blood and minced flesh were stuck to them, he looked particularly embarrassed, and asked in a dry tone:
"You took out the Nurgle Army?"
Fu Qinghai nodded:
"Kugas Plague Father, I killed you."
"What are you going to do next?"
Saloyan asked with a tired face.
"Where's the blindness?"
Fu Qinghai did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"I'm here!"
A woman climbed out of the equipment box and shouted.
Fu Qinghai looked at the blind girl and said sarcastically:
"I thought you were dead."
Blind patted the greasy stains on his body:
"I can't see it, but I have a sharper sense of danger than anyone else."
Fu Qinghai carefully observed the blind face, and found that she had initially regained consciousness, no longer the previous appearance of smirking and snorting from time to time, it seemed that she had been freed from the side effects of the elixir.
So he grabbed the blind and asked:
"What should we do next?"
"I don't know."
Blind shook his head and said.
"Listen, blind."
Fu Qinghai pulled the blind girl aside, raised his hand and pointed to the lonely back of Saloyan Scarson, who was sitting on the edge of the crack on the deck, bent down and said in a low voice:
"Your prophecy has caused the Space Wolves to lose a full half of the company and the vast majority of the mortal crew on the battleship, they are very angry now, what new methods do you have that better come up with now, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with my prophecy."
Blind Eyes raised his face and retorted:
"I have seen countless future endings, all of which are death, and this is the only option that will save us from death. As for what happens after entering the belly of the Void Whale, sorry, it's not within my prophecy. ”
Meaning: she doesn't take the blame.
"And can you prophecy like that again?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
"Necropony? Unless you want me to die. ”
Blind said with a sneer.
I have to rely on myself for a long time......
Fu Qinghai straightened up and looked out of the porthole.
"I'll take a look outside."
Fu Qinghai passed by Saloyan's side.
Patted him on the shoulder armor and said.
……
There was no need to open the hatch, there were cracks everywhere in the hull of the Ruth Spear, Fu Qinghai casually found a crack and drilled out, and the batwing behind him spread outward and flapped violently.
The demon wings made of N metal may not be as powerful as the thrust of the jetpack, but the flight speed is still not slow, and Fu Qinghai quickly left the cruiser.
Looking at the dark red flesh wall around him again, he found that the yellow shingles that had once hung densely on it had all burst open, leaving only a series of ulcer pits, and the Nurgle demon that had been conceived in the blisters had disappeared.
Fu Qinghai carefully recalled the setting of the Void Whale. According to the information, the Void Whale is so large that it can even form a unique ecosystem in its body, and has become the home of many strange subspace creatures. 41K's Void Whale that attacked the Imperial Battlestar had an alien race called "Fishmen" living in its body, and it once caused a lot of trouble to the space wolves that jumped whales.
But after some simple exploration, Fu Qinghai didn't find any alien races or any other creatures in the Void Whale's body - it seems that after the Nurgle Demon Army infected the parasitic whale, they had already cleaned up all the other creatures inside. This speculation is quite plausible, because when the cruiser first entered the Void Whale's body, the Great Demon's exact words were:
"Welcome to the Plague Ark."
It shows that the army of Nurgle believes that they have taken over this place, and that they want to transform this whale into the so-called "Ark of Plague" 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 is it a move under the control of the Nurgle Army?
Thinking of this, Fu Qinghai looked at the ulcer pits on the flesh wall again, and suddenly his heart moved, and he raised his claws and inserted them into this messy tissue, and faint blue light dots floated between the claw blades and were absorbed by the claws. The Void Whale is also a subspace creature, and the Saron Evil Iron can naturally drain its soul.
Then the entire flesh wall began to tremble violently.
Fu Qinghai kept his paws in the ulcer wound and looked up in all directions. The wall of flesh resembled a massive wall with no end in sight in all directions, and as the goblin armor began to absorb the essence of the soul, the dark red wall began to shrink and spasm inward, undulating and spreading like a circular wave.
"Stop, human!"
A voice sounded out of thin air in my heart:
"Or I'll chew you up!"
No words, no words.
It's just a thought to "stop".
"Aha, so you're self-aware."
Fu Qinghai smiled and said.
Then he pulled out his claws.
The eight demons let out an unwilling wail.
"I'm not completely corrupted by Nurgle."
The voice in his heart spoke.
"So ......"
Fu Qinghai immediately guessed:
"You deliberately swallowed this cruiser and held it in your mouth so that I could help you get rid of the Nurgle infection in your mouth, right? But I'm curious, how do you know that this ship can help you deal with the Nurgle Demon Army? ”
The voice was silent for a moment.
After a while, he slowly spoke:
"I once accidentally devoured a piece of planetary fragment, and later I learned that the planetary fragment had been contaminated by the power of Nurgle, and the poison of corruption and lesions was everywhere, and then my mouth began to grow Nurgle spirits and Nurgle beasts, and these Nurgle demons began to multiply and spread in my flesh and blood, and attracted the Great Impure, who wanted to completely corrupt me into the so-called 'Ark of Plague'."
This example tells us not to eat indiscriminately.
Fu Qinghai then asked:
"And then?"
The consciousness in my heart continued:
"The god of disease is too powerful, I can't stop the Nurgle infection in my body, I can only watch them eat away at my flesh step by step and use them to multiply until the day the plague spreads to my brain, I wander aimlessly between the sea of souls and the real universe, and a terminally ill patient is waiting for the complete necrosis of the whole body......"
"Until one day, I broke into an area where a cold sun hung in the sea of souls, and the light emitted by that sun was so intense that it burned me deeply and made me tingle all over, but miraculously, the Nurgle pollution in my body gradually faded under the light of that light, and I could hear the screams of the Nurgle demons."
"Huh?"
Fu Qinghai's heart moved when he heard this.
The icy sun in subspace?
Wouldn't it be......
Fu Qinghai resounded what Tracy had said to him, and the chief navigator described it this way: The light of the star torch seen in different positions of the Milky Way is different.
As they sailed through the Sun Sector where Divine Terra was located, the sparkling light was as dazzling as the stars in the midday sky, and they couldn't ignore it. And when they sail through the frontier regions of the Empire, such as the Marquez King's sector, the light of the star torch is like an oil lamp in the dark night, floating and disappearing, and you must work hard to see it.
According to the image told by the Void Whale, it was even burned by the sun's rays, so it's likely that this unlucky guy didn't just strayed into the solar sector - it may have entered the solar system, because it was too close to the Holy Terra and caused it to be burned by the light of the torch.
"Then I realized that the mysterious power emanating from that icy sun could remove the infection from my body and ward off the power of the plague god. But I couldn't get too close to the sun, for I too would be so badly wounded in that light that I would have to turn away. ”
"I continued to drift aimlessly in the sea of souls, until I heard the song, and I followed the song, and I felt in you a little bit of the cold sun that once gave me, and I went through the storm to swallow you, hoping to bring me relief......"
The Void Whale finished talking about the ins and outs.
"I see."
Fu Qinghai nodded clearly:
"So, I'm still your savior?"
"No, you must get out of my body."
The Void Whale sent a stern thought.
Okay, okay, okay, cross the river and tear down the bridge, right?
Fu Qinghai raised his hand and inserted his paw into the ulcer again.
Insert deeply until the entire arm is submerged.
"Boom Rumble......
The giant flesh wall began to tremble violently again.
This is not the same as Nurgle infection, which is similar to boiling a frog in warm water and cutting the meat with a blunt knife, spreading little by little and eroding the lesion. And the Nurgle Demon Army didn't want to kill the Void Whale, but only wanted to transform it into another form - Nurgle was the god of life, and he didn't like to destroy life.
The Saron Evil Iron sucks the soul directly.
This is the essence of harming the Void Whale.
"I'm sure you can spit out the cruiser - as much as you eat it. But you can't spit me out because I'm too young, can you? ”
Fu Qinghai asked with a smile:
"Do you want to reconsider?"
