I'm a magnetic field madman

The Supreme Grand Master, wielding the Titan's Sword, spoke solemnly...

Then he paused, and continued...

"At the same time, this is also your brother's request and assistance."

71. Delve into the Nurgle Mansion

"Brother? You've seen my eldest brother?! Where is he?!"

To receive news of her beloved elder brother so unexpectedly under such circumstances naturally filled Bai Qianxue with immense joy, while Diego shook his head and said in a deep voice...

“I don’t know. He should be in Slaanesh’s palace right now, or he might be in Tzeentch’s labyrinth. I don’t have the ability to track him down…”

He paused, then continued...

“But the last time I saw him was in the Blood God’s domain… He saved me.”

Speaking of this topic, Diego couldn't help but feel a lingering fear—in fact, when he was swept into the Blood God's Chaotic Wasteland, he was only a hair's breadth away from dying there.

He witnessed the battle of the gods.

Even though Bai Wujie is not a god and has never raised his own divine throne in the Supreme Heaven, he possesses such power and soul that he is no different from a deity.

His existence in the warp has actually reached the point of being able to lift up a god's throne, but he has never proclaimed his existence in the physical universe. He is an "unfinished god" with power but no status!

His battle with the Blood God had undoubtedly exceeded Diego's comprehension.

People may use Diego's inscription on Mortalian's heart to boast about his combat prowess, but Diego's strength is not actually that great.

Perhaps his years of combat and training in warp space have given him combat prowess far surpassing that of Space Marines or even the Custodians, but he is still not qualified to be compared to the Ascended Primarch—

In fact, if the Emperor hadn't given him the real name Mortarion, he would have been killed by the Lord of Death long ago.

Diego's abilities are far less impressive than those who boast about him claim...

Of course, for a Grey Knight born in the 41K era, his combat prowess might be considered extraordinary, but he certainly doesn't have the power to turn the tide of battle.

Therefore, Diego would not visit Nurgle's domain unless absolutely necessary... because he knew that the Lord of Death was a petty person.

Diego witnessed the final battle between Bai Wujie and the Blood God that day. He should have died there, carelessly annihilated by the aftershocks of the Blood God's attack.

But he still survived.

Bai Wujie saved him casually, or rather, he simply opened a subspace rift and threw him in.

In doing this casual help, he also casually made a request that was hardly necessary.

If his younger brother comes to the warp, then help him as much as you can.

From a purely moral standpoint, Diego might not necessarily repay this favor...

Because the red light above Bai Wujie's head was practically bright red.

However, if it is an order from the Emperor, Diego will carry it out without hesitation.

"What the hell is that bastard up to?"

Although she knew her elder brother's whereabouts, Bai Qianshuang was in no condition to do anything about it.

He kicked away a piece of rotten stone at his feet in frustration, frowning as he said...

"Forget it, at least let's get out of this awful place first."

He looked at Diego, but the Supreme Grand Master of the Grey Knights shook his head and said softly…

"I can leave, but I can't take you with me."

Diego's situation is very special; he entered the subspace purely because he was cursed by the demon prince Muka.

Being pulled into the subspace is not the biggest problem; the biggest trouble is not being able to leave directly.

No one knows what happened to Diego's soul when it wandered through the warp...

He can reach the past, future, and even another "world" through the uncertainty of time flow in the subspace, but he cannot truly escape the subspace.

Perhaps it is this characteristic that grants Diego the ability to freely traverse the warp—

The warp is not a vast continent; even the domains of the Four Gods are merely "gathering places" within this wasteland, not the warp itself...

The vast majority of the subspace is a void composed of pure subspace energy, which is also the final destination of most life forms in the physical universe.

The subspace is vast; it is essentially a mirror image of the physical universe. The subspace is as large as the universe, and thus, both the soul-devouring undead and the gods with their own domains occupy only a tiny fraction of the subspace.

So don't always say that in the Warhammer universe, when humans die, they will fall into the realm of the Four Gods and suffer. That's as rare as your soul returning to the Golden Throne...

Unless you were sacrificed by the followers of those four gods or had some kind of connection with them...

Otherwise, after you die, you will only be crushed by nothingness in the endless flow of subspace energy... and even the chance of encountering an undead being that will prey on your soul is extremely low.

Diego's special abilities allow him to remain in the subspace, yet he can freely traverse between different subspace realms.

But even Diego himself couldn't understand where this ability came from... Perhaps it really was just that the four evil gods wanted to use Diego as their amusement... But in any case, Diego didn't have the ability to take Bai Qianshuang away from this cesspool.

"Although I cannot take you away, I can guide you to complete the tasks you are meant to complete."

Diego said in a deep voice. He stretched out the finger that was burning with silver flames and placed it in front of Bai Qian Shuang's eye socket. Although she resisted a little, she did nothing.

The silver flames burned his eyes, but instead of causing pain, they precisely shattered the "curse" that enveloped them.

At the same time, Diego also gave Bai Qianshuang some "knowledge" about the subspace.

Magnetic field forces are not absolutely strong in subspace, but in the physical universe, magnetic field forces are only stronger in subspace.

Even though the subspace is a "dream," not everyone can do whatever they want here.

The power of magnetic fields can greatly enhance the power of subspace travelers, allowing them to stir up more subspace fluctuations. In a sense, it can even enable them to "make their wishes come true."

This gray knight grandmaster with thick eyebrows and big eyes has also learned magnetic field rotation—while Bai Qianshuang was maliciously speculating about the emperor's current state of mind, she was also digesting all the precious knowledge of subspace.

Why is there not a single demon in Nurgle's realm?

After digesting the necessary knowledge, Bai Qianshuang glanced at the golden scepter beside her, frowned, and asked...

“Because Nurgle’s plague army has all been deployed to the front lines right now,” Diego said, frowning, his expression revealing an undisguised disgust…

"The eternal war between these evil gods will never cease, and now seems to be the time when Nurgle's power is at its lowest point—"

Khorne's army was launching a full-scale attack on Nurgle, while Tzeentch turned his attention to fighting Slaanesh... but even so, Nurgle's demonic forces were struggling to withstand Khorne's onslaught.

Because of his battle with Bai Wujie, Khorne's power had been greatly enhanced, and he was now far stronger than Nurgle, who was in a slump...

In order to prevent that red cranophile from storming his garden and causing chaos, Nurgle had no choice but to commit all of his military forces to the front line.

Nurgle even released his treasured demon primal Mortarian... because Khorne's demon primal Angron was missing, and this was the only place where Nurgle could still outmaneuver Khorne during his low point.

In short, Nurgle has essentially emptied his gardens to fight Khorne, sending out all his archdemons and plague demon armies to fight on the front lines...

He even had to personally travel to the border of his own chaotic realm to fend off the maddened Khorne... He was determined to hold out for a while and then wait for his power to reincarnate.

Reach the strongest stage and then defeat Khorne; you might even be able to recoup some of the interest.

Of course, Tzeentch and Slaanesh, those two troublemakers, certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch; the unpredictable changes are the only true essence of the Eternal War.

To ensure his home wouldn't be robbed while he was away...

Especially the "treasures" he treasured in the Demon Palace, so he specially set up a psionic illusion for the Demon Palace.

Bai Qian Shuang almost fell for it, but now, with Diego's psionic knowledge, he is no longer fooled by the star illusions left behind by Nurgle.

buzzing...

The top of the golden scepter once again emitted a dazzling green light, this time also enveloping Diego beside it.

The light pointed forward, revealing an illusory path, and then, the illusion that enveloped the center of Nurgle Garden was shattered in an instant!

Nurgle Gardens is like Khorne's Brass Fortress, the center of his Chaos Realm. What Bai Qian Shuang sees before her is equivalent to Khorne's War Throne.

In contrast to Khorne's towering throne, a masonry throne built from the skulls of every mortal man killed by his followers, what does Nurgle's central domain look like?

Surrounded by countless rack trees dripping with pus, at the very heart of Nurgle's domain lies a black mansion.

It is neither huge nor magnificent, but the most loyal building standing in Nurgle Gardens is one that would not be considered magnificent even in the mortal world.

This is a festering fortress; the massive city structure looks like a rotting giant ship, floating in an endless green swamp.

The putrid miasma injected into the building structure made it half-hidden and half-revealed.

Its wood was rotten and moldy, and its drooping roof was thickly covered with every imaginable swarm of insects.

Deadly poison poured down from the walls of this most repulsive dwelling, contaminating everything around it. Despite its utter decay, it still…

Yet it possesses incredible sturdiness.

It has probably stood in this precarious state for countless years, and will continue to do so until the end of time.

It's hard to imagine that a place that looks like an old, dilapidated building in every way could be the dwelling place of the evil god Nurgle.

"It really does live up to His nickname of 'benevolent father'..." Bai Qianshuang remarked.

"After all, at first glance, you'd think an old man lying in a rocking chair reminiscing about the past would live in this dilapidated house... Well, maybe this old man here is just simmering soup while waiting for his grandchildren to arrive..."

Despite this, Bai Qianxue dared not underestimate her father's residence. Even before getting close, her body had already begun to feel various discomforts.

Like Diego, he entered the subspace in his physical body.

This allows certain things achieved with subspace energy to happen to them without questioning their underlying principles.

Bai Qianshuang felt that if she got close to that dark mansion, she might contract hundreds of different diseases on the spot.

If he were to get close to Nurgle's cauldron, which harbors the diseases of the entire universe, he might just turn into a snowman on the spot...

Are you kidding me? How could I possibly get close? I'd feel like throwing up!

Diego silently stepped forward, raised his Titan's Sword, and slashed fiercely at the petrified rack tree in front of him...

The greatsword, burning with silver flames, cleaved a gash in the stone tree in front of it, which was oozing pus, but it was instantly restored as soon as the blade was withdrawn.

“I can’t get close,” Diego said gravely.

“My psionic power is insufficient to cover even a third of the journey. The corruption of the evil god is too severe; too much warp power from Nurgle's followers has gathered there…”

Let alone Diego, even if the Emperor were possessed, he probably wouldn't be able to enter Nurgle's Mansion.

After all, even the Primarch, when possessed by the Emperor, could at most burn down a section of Nurgle's Garden... and when facing Nurgle's old house, he could only manage to shake a few tiles.

Bai Qianshuang also made an attempt. He pushed the magnetic field power to its limit, allowing his thoughts to amplify it further. A continuously rising wave of fire swept through the garden, engulfing everything in its path, hotter than a million suns, finally stopping a few yards from the black walls of Nurgle Manor. But that manor...

The endless hall continued to shake. But that was all; the flames could not harm it in the slightest, nor could they budge the doors for even a moment.

They were at a loss. Now it wasn't a question of whether they dared to risk going over there, but rather how to get into that demon mansion.

But Bai Qian Shuang wasn't in a hurry. He looked at the floating golden scepter. And just as he expected, the closer the scepter got to Nurgle's mansion, the more it emitted a vibrant green light!

The next moment, a faint but ominous creaking sound came from the mansion as the window opened.

The doors and windows of the filthy house were almost never opened.

A small window opened in the gable, revealing a darkness even deeper than the dark forest itself.

But it wasn't fear itself that mattered; the dreadful master had already left the garden for the front lines to fight his unrighteous brother. This was perhaps only the second time in tens of millions of years that Nurgle had left his homeland.

From the opened window, a vibrant, emerald-green spiritual energy formed a bridge that stretched forward, leading all the way to Bai Qianshuang's feet.

He looked at the bridge, then at the scepter, and grinned...

"Ms. Isa, do you think it's a bit unethical for us to meet while Grandpa Nurgle is not home?"

72. The aggrieved party accepts the filth.

Victor is a discerning collector, and this old man, who has lived for at least ten thousand years, has many precious artifacts...

There are probably very few things that he would take a liking to and cherish that he carries with him.

And items that are scepters are even rarer.

Comoros was originally an important trading port of the Ancient Ling Empire, and it held a very high position within the empire... equivalent to one of the most important economic cities of a country besides the capital.

He held the Shadow Scepter, representing the Lord of Comoros, in his hand... and there were only a handful of collectibles more precious than this scepter.

That golden scepter is the scepter of the Eternal Queen!!

It wasn't difficult to figure this out, especially when Bai Qian Shuang was tricked into going to Grandpa Na Gou's hometown by this undeserved disaster. He immediately guessed who was behind it!

There is only one god who can cause trouble in Nurgle's territory with a will outside of Nurgle's—Isha, the Eldar goddess of healing and life, whom they affectionately call "Mother".
