Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 316: The Curse of the Angel (Please Subscribe)
The experience of Episimos III was just a minor episode, and everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the planet that was completely annihilated by the orbital bombardment.

That is just one of the planets contaminated by the power of the warp. In this vast galaxy, how many planets have fallen under the power of chaos like this?
No one knows, and no one even cares. The erosion of the subspace on the real universe has never been a gentle thing. Every minute and every second, countless humans are struggling to die, or falling into situations more terrible than death.

The war between the Supreme Heaven and the real universe is not just a war on paper, but a life-and-death struggle.

They have to speed up.

The sooner we resolve Devin's issue and destroy that extremely corrupt planet, the more we can save humanity.

Luo Xi noticed a detail. Even the seemingly indifferent and extremely cruel and cold-blooded Lion King Ryan became anxious after witnessing so many human sufferings.

On the following journey, Ryan again ordered the fleet to destroy six planets that had been completely corrupted.

Among them are planets corrupted by the power of the Blood God. All humans on the planet are fighting each other to decide the final champion. There are rivers of blood and corpses everywhere. Some planets are polluted by the Prince of Pleasure. All people are indulging in endless madness. All kinds of behaviors that are horrifying to humans are constantly challenging the bottom line on this planet.

The closer they got to Daven, the more serious the signs of corruption in the Warp became. For these hopeless planets, the Protector of the Second Empire had only one answer: extermination order.

The expeditionary fleet never once attempted to airdrop troops to save those planets because it was impractical.

The complete destruction by the Extermination Order is a mercy to them and also a mercy to humanity.

……

"Why did you choose to take action that day? I thought you would be happy to see your brothers in trouble, after all, you had committed many terrorist attacks in Macragge before."

Still in the same room, Koz, who was trapped in Veronica's body, was reading a book by himself. He seemed to have really reformed, but Luo Xi still didn't dare to trust him completely.

He spoke tentatively, trying to find out the bottom line of this Midnight Haunter.

"I'm just bored, don't think too much. I hate the Emperor, but I also hate Chaos. Those abominations make me feel sick."

"If this damn Empire and the stinking Chaos are placed together, I will kill Chaos first and then the Empire. There is no conflict."

Conrad acted nonchalant and emphasized this.

And Luo Xi's mouth twitched slightly. If Conrad really thought so, he would not have rushed so fast that day.

However, this crazy guy did not come into contact with any chaos forces while betraying the empire.

Even the Night Lords Legion seemed extremely resistant to the corruption of the Warp, and was considered one of the few traitor legions that was relatively clean.

Perhaps it is because his psychic prophecies come from the Warp, Night Haunter has pure hatred for any Chaos contamination. He hates everything that makes him so painful, the Emperor and Chaos.

In Roche's opinion, Conrad was perhaps the purest of the rebellious Primarchs. He hated the Emperor for giving him such a fate, and he also hated the lingering Warp, so he followed the trajectory of fate to rebel against the Empire, and he wanted to find the death that was destined for him.

With this extremely bad mentality, Conrad often does many funny things, which makes people even more unpredictable.

Luo Xi looked at Veronica. Conrad was reading through the electronic eyes in his head. He was thinking about something.

"What if the Emperor could forgive you and allow your psychic powers to be controlled?"

Koz was silent for a moment.

He put down the book in his hands and seemed unresponsive.

"There is no such possibility. I know exactly what I have done. The future I see is only war. My father will sit on the throne and never speak again. My brothers have all disappeared, and only humanity is struggling in the galaxy." "This is a hopeless universe. We are doomed to fail. No one can defeat the Four Gods. This is not an equal war, not even the Emperor."

"I know you are special, because your existence has changed many things, but I must tell you - many general trends cannot be changed. You can change the fate of one person or a group of people, but do you think you can save the fate of mankind?"

Koz is just being stubborn, Luo Xi thought to himself.

If he really didn't care as much as he said, then he wouldn't change. Luo Xi could see that Koz was changing.

His originally crazy and distorted worldview was beginning to waver, and he no longer firmly believed that the future was unchangeable.

Curze's voice sounded: "Loshi, you are too optimistic about humans, especially about us Primarchs. Lion is so stubborn that he never trusts anyone. Guilliman is stupid and naive, which will kill him sooner or later. Sanguinius is a nearly perfect man, but he also has his own original sins and shortcomings."

The Midnight Ghost slowly uttered four words, which made people shudder.

"Scarlet Thirst, my angel brother has a little secret hidden in his heart, but it is all transparent to me. I know all of their little secrets. After all, I can see the future."

Koz's tone was a bit gloating, he thought these were all fun things worth mentioning.

"Scarlet Thirst?" Luo Xi felt a little confused. He had never noticed anything abnormal about the archangel because everyone would be attracted by his holiness and noble temperament.

"A curse that comes from blood. It belongs to Sanguinius and the Blood Angels. When the blood thirst strikes, the noble angels will turn back into the original ghouls. They have been hiding this secret from the outside world."

"And in addition to the Crimson Thirst, the Blood Angels are hiding something even more deadly, although it does not exist at this point in time."

Luo Xi's expression became solemn. If Koz was not lying, then this was indeed something worthy of attention.

The Blood Angels have a time bomb hidden in their bodies.

"When we get to Daven Star, you'll see the good show begin. Look how good I am to you. I've given you some previews of the plot in advance." Koz said with a smile, taking the initiative to joke.

He glanced at the time display screen hanging on the wall. After each subspace jump, these timing devices would start working again.

"Look, the time is almost up. We will soon arrive at the planet Daven."

As Curze finished his words, the huge New Caliban began to tremble, and the violent warp fluctuations tore open a hole large enough to accommodate the fleet.

The alarms on the radio continued to sound, and mortal crew members and technicians were running back and forth everywhere. They were about to end this subspace voyage and arrive at the end of this journey - Daven Star.

Roche and Konrad came to the bridge, where Guilliman and Lion had been on duty, but Sanguinius was not there.

When the explosion-proof curtain rose and the observation window opened, everyone felt a strong premonition, an inexplicable sense of fate, as if the Devon galaxy before them was completely different from other galaxies.

"We are finally here, it's time to end this place." Guilliman breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't think that such a powerful fleet would encounter any trouble. Besides, there were four Primarchs here including Konrad Curze, so they had nothing to fear even from the Chaos Daemons.

Before everyone's eyes, there was endless death.

On the outer edge of the Davin system, a giant gray sphere orbits the star. Its porous appearance is reminiscent of a broken stone carving. The battleship's scanning array shows that its gravitational response is very low, which means that it may be hollow or some psychic product of the warp.

The fleet remained on high alert, guarding against deadly threats that could occur at any time.
