Endurance, Think Tank Library.

Right 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 incident of the Perfect City.

But it is clear that Fernando and his party have encountered the Great Impure of Nurgle.

That's even earlier than the Twilight Raiders encountered their Primitives!

And what the Great Impure One said

Encountering Fernando and his party proves that its plan is correct, that is

Could they be a decoy?!

A seed of corruption planted in the Legion, a lead that leads the entire Legion to its downfall.

However, the last words of the demon said,

"Except for him."

Who is the "he" who can't accept Nurgle's curse?

It can't be Motarian, isn't it.

Although Hades is not arrogant, at this moment, it seems that there is only one answer -

That is, Hades himself!

A great impure of Nurgle who had already begun to ambush Hades before he joined the Death Guard?!

Hades had a chill, could it be that because he tried to change the fate of Motarian in the future, Nurgle specially sent a great impure to destroy him?

Is he really that important? Or is he over-interpreting?

But, beyond that, Hades really can't think of a better explanation at the moment.

No, he can have a way to verify it.

Hades looked at Fernando again.

"Did your comrades-in-arms at that time die in the end?"

Fernando shuddered, and fell silent again. After a long time, he slowly spoke,

"I couldn't kill him."

But José may be dead.

"So, I want to turn to you for help."

Out of Fernando's selfishness, he hid the results of the divination for the time being.

Hades' tablet [now] is currently [Titan Reversal], meaning his plan is broken.

But Fernando's tablet is [Titan Positive], which means that as long as he takes the initiative, he can win.

He couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to make this decision.

Hades stood behind a heavily armed Fernando with an obituary in his scythe, a respiratory-enhanced MK3 power armor, and a deflagration gun at his waist.

Just now, Fernando briefly explained the current situation, and Hades immediately decided to go back and get the sickle.

At the same time, he had Fernando inform Barracin, cordon off a ship area centered on the Think Tank Library, and secretly evacuate all the staff, servants, or rather, all living creatures.

Fernando may not have a good understanding of Nurgle's powers, but Hades knows that no sloppiness is necessary.

Fernando has been holding a plague carrier of Nurgle in the think tank library. So far, nothing has happened, so the emperor blesses it.

Perhaps the Chief Think Tank thinks that his psionic captivity has worked, and Hades wants it to, but he still likes to think things worse in order to be insured.

It's possible. The demon deliberately stayed on this ship, not exposing himself, just waiting for a moment.

Wait for the time to complete the "plan" in the demon's mouth.

Except for Fernando, no one knows exactly what is hidden in the think tank library.

Hades clenched the scythe in his hand, and the heavy feeling reassured him.

Fernando's request to him is simple, to help him kill that "José" and solve the demons of the chief think tank.

Through Fernando's description of that "Jose", Hades is convinced that the only ones who can compete with it at the moment are Fernando, who is powerful in psionic energy, and Hades, who can isolate subspace.

Ordinary space marines, exposed to such a powerful psionic creature, are tantamount to looking for death.

Or worse, they are like babies with zero resistance to the plague of Nurgle, they will be devoured by the plague and then corrupted and degraded.

Although the monster was imprisoned by Fernando with psionic energy at the moment, it was still a bit risky for the two of them to go to close quarters to kill.

You can't be too cautious when dealing with a creature in a subspace.

However, Hades had no choice but to slash.

He can't just walk away and pretend nothing happened.

Otherwise, he would give up the opportunity to go to Mars, or even go to war, and stay in the think tank library to prevent the creature from escaping.

But can he prevent it for a while, can he still prevent it for a lifetime?

The subspace is pervasive in the corrosive effects of legions.

Hades, as an outsider, once again felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

What he wants to change is fate, and his opponent is the evil gods of the subspace, who can even transcend time and play with living beings.

What does he use to fight the other side, just by virtue of his untouchable constitution?

No, there will always be a way.

At least for now, he's going to kill a Nurgle Blessed One.

Hades realized more deeply that he couldn't just follow the route of the legion, and he couldn't just mess around according to his previous vision, which was too passive.

But for now. Without other resources and ways, he can only take one step at a time.

As for Motarian, Hades' inclination was to inform him after the incident was over.

He didn't want Motarian to come into direct contact with Nurgle's Blessed One now, and the devil knew what would happen.

Hades didn't want to take Motarian directly with a plague -

Fernando glanced back at Hades, who finished thinking and gestured for Fernando to start.

They stood in a hidden corner of the library, watching them silently in the dark.

White light burst forth, and distorted psionic flashes erupted around Fernando.

The ancient incantation came from the mouth of the Chief Think Tank, and as the incantation poured out, the bookshelf in front of them slowly moved away—

Hades' eyes widened.

Golden runes were densely carved into the entire space, the ground was painted with complicated formations, and the walls were covered with the weapons that the emperor had given to the legions.

Countless pieces of paper filled with prayers were pasted on the thick chains, which trembled slightly with the fluctuations of psionic energy.

In the center, a brutal psionic cage violently exploded with white light, and several chains extended from the four corners of the room, rigidly binding the creature lying in the middle, and the ends of the chains were a colorful black after being burned by the fire.

That creature, that creature

Hades had a buzz in his head, and he was all too familiar with the memories of his past life—

Even the livery was soaked in leachate to the fuzzy Twilight Raider, even though he was wearing MK2 type armor, but

This is the Plague Warrior!

There's always a plague warrior strapped to the Death Guard's mothership!

The Emperor is above!

Countless thick, swollen, pale pinkish-gray intestines emerged from the abdomen of the torn power armor, squirming and undulating slightly, and in the breaches on it, maggots twisted with yellow-black intestinal fluid.

Corpse fluid slowly flowed out of each interface of the power armor, and they slowly slipped down the arc of the armor, soaking the armor that had already stinked and turned green.

The most suffocating thing is that the star marine's head, breathing hose and tongue are fused together, a slender and pointed pink tongue spits out, and the helmet eyes are black compound eyes that resemble spiders.

Hades could imagine the eyes moving, but now, they were like dusty glass, distorted and full of pain.

There was still a flame burning on his body, but with every bit of flesh burned by the flames, the plague warrior's body reborn a little.

This warrior looked dead, but, but his body was alive, and his soul was still imprisoned in this shell.

Even Hades, who had seen the model of the plague warrior in his previous life, was completely shocked at this moment.

As if aware of Hades' shock, Fernando's voice sounded faintly but mixed with pain,

"I've been burning him with a slamming gun every night to prevent him from waking up."

In fact, in order to protect his comrades, Fernando slept next to this corpse every night in full armor.

A room full of psionic restraints, the corrupt and painful corpses of his comrades, and the pus-dripping corpses, Hades realized at this time what kind of determination and tenacity the chief think tank in front of him had!

Hades took a deep breath, the pungent rancid stench digging deep into his bone marrow, and he raised his scythe and motioned for Fernando to remove the psionic cage.

However, the body moved.
