Guilliman: A Living Saint Is Actually an Evil God?

"Next time you see Erebus, kick him one less time; consider it a reward for your indirect loyalty to him."

"With this, Nurgle will probably be itching to get his hands on it."

"Can this thing really eradicate all human diseases and plagues?"

"..."

Warmaster and the other players examined the captured Panacea STC.

The value of this thing goes without saying.

As long as the technology can be extracted from it.

The medical field of the Imperium of Man will achieve unimaginable progress.

If Nurgle, the Plague God, were to launch Plague Wars in the future...

The Imperium of Man will also have more means to deal with this.

At this moment, a mission screen appeared in front of Qin Yun.

[Mission: Recover the Panacea STC]

This STC is a technological creation of Dark Age of Technology Primarch Primarch develop targeted drugs.

Task requirements: Recover the Panacea STC, conduct traceability development, and master the relevant technologies.

Rewards: A large amount of Faith Points, Life Status Fragment (Once you obtain this fragment, you can use the power of life, such as infinite resurrection, life extraction, life nourishment, and other abilities).

"Life Status Fragment??"

Qin Yun was somewhat surprised.

This special reward looks somewhat like a trait possessed by Perpetuals.

With this item, you can revive infinitely and transfer it to others.

Last time, when I entered the Emperor's Domain, I saw the Perpetuals Alivia Sureka.

This woman transferred her immortality to Malcador, allowing him to live on in place of the Emperor and sit on the Golden Throne to complete the plan to save Terra.

If I'm not mistaken, those Perpetuals should all have what are called Life Status Fragment within their bodies.

John Gramaticas, the Cabal figure who Perpetuals.

Perhaps, it was through the implantation of so-called Life Status Fragment that immortality was achieved.

The main supporters behind Cabal are the Aeldari.

The Aeldari possess their own Pantheon.

King of the Gods— Asuryan.

Khaine, the God of War.

The Laughing God – Cegorach.

The god of forging— Vaul.

The Aeldari Pantheon contains many gods.

One of the deities is quite special; that is Isha, the goddess who controls life.

During the Fall,

Most of the Aeldari were destroyed by Slaanesh, becoming her snacks.

However, three Aeldari also came to life: the God of War, Khaine; the Laughing God, Cegorach; and the Goddess of Life, Isha.

When Khorne and Slaanesh fought over Khaine,

Slaanesh couldn't Khorne, so he smashed Khaine to pieces.

This is also one of the reasons why Khorne and Slaanesh became enemies.

The hatred for those who damage figurines is irreconcilable.

Cegorach escaped into the Webway, using Webway properties to evade Slaanesh's pursuit.

They formed Harlequins to tell the story of the Aeldari's demise and to seek an opportunity to save the Aeldari.

As for Isha, the goddess of life, she was snatched away by that fat bastard Nurgle and taken as his wife.

Isha could cure all diseases and plagues.

Nurgle would give her soup whenever she had free time.

Observe the time it takes for the other party to overcome the symptoms to see how powerful the plague you created is.

The story of the Eldar Gods reveals a part of the truth of the Warhammer Universe.

That is, this universe contains all sorts of strange and unusual authorities and persons.

The beings who hold these powers and positions are Gods.

It's not surprising that the Spirit Aeldari, which once had such a close relationship with the gods, could produce the corresponding fragments to create immortal beings.

"If I could piece together Life Status Fragment, would I gain the authority over life?!"

Qin Yun was thinking about something very important.

There is no explicit path to godhood in the Warhammer Universe.

The only way to ascend is through the blessing of the Chaos Gods.

To some extent, ascending to godhood should also be considered becoming a god, becoming a demigod or a lesser god under the command of the Chaos Four Gods.

In the past, there must have been some way to create a race's own deity, or to make mortal beings into gods.

Otherwise, the origin of the Aeldari Gods cannot be explained.

This era, however, can only ascend through the blessing of Chaos.

Something must have happened during this time that caused changes in the Warp.

The path to ascension is controlled by the Chaos Gods; only by gaining their approval can one ascend and become Daemon Prince or Daemon Primarch.

"Recycling STC and giving me Life Status Fragment as a reward, is this a sign they're planning to take action against that fatso?"

Qin Yun's first thought was of the burning of the Garden of Nurgle.

Is the Emperor planning something big?!

"Seriously, how did Old Man Emperor accumulate such a fortune?!"

"Could it be that during Molech's trip, he not only deceived the Four Gods, but also ransacked the Warp before fleeing?"

If that's the case,

This explains why there were so many Chaos Undivided Demons that did not belong to the Four Gods in the Siege of Terra.

The victim Sufferer to the door demanding an explanation, possibly out of jealousy.

While inwardly criticizing the Emperor, Qin Yun established contact with Xi Ling.

Let her issue quests to those low-level players to collect the Panacea STC.

Upon seeing the generous recycling rewards, the players of the Emperor's Cattle Warband did not hesitate at all and immediately handed over their STC.

After obtaining the Panacea STC, to avoid any unforeseen complications,

Xi Ling instructed the players to send the STC to the scanning device on the Imperium warship to begin reverse engineering the technology of the Panacea STC.

This thing is too targeted. If it is moved rashly, it may arouse the suspicion of some evil god, who will then destroy it at any cost.

Garden of Nurgle in the Warp

This is the domain of the Plague God.

It is a combination of jungles, swamps, vegetation, and green spaces, personified by unclean life.

A festering, ulcerated mixture ravaged by disease.

The Garden paths were covered in diseased mud and worms.

The air was thick with smoke and swarms of flies buzzing incessantly.

The swollen fungi and the wildly blooming flowers jostled each other.

The trees, covered in slimy sap, were teeming with scurrying insects and nauseatingly bursting bubbles.

In the center of the Garden stands an ancient magic palace.

The Nurgle will linger in the festering fortress.

While whistling loudly, he gathered information about the latest plague.

But now, instead of brewing the plague as usual, Nurgle is staring intently at the Realspace.

Humanity regaining control of Panacea is not a good thing.

This medicine is not friendly to plagues and diseases at all.

How could humans bear to harm such lovely creatures as germs?

"Erebus!!"

Nurgle, remembering the culprits who caused the Panacea to fall into the hands of the Imperium of Man, became somewhat angry.

He turned to look for Erebus, wondering where the guy had gone.

Nurgle quickly found Erebus.

This scoundrel was currently enjoying Vect's revenge package, crying like Gretchin whose toe had been stepped on.

Battle of Commorragh,

Erebus's foolishness, the opportunity to severely damage the Cursed One and the Outsider was lost.

The Lord of Change, angered, altered the point of Erebus's time-space fall.

Erebus, who should have returned to his subordinates,

They inexplicably appeared near Vect!

This event also indirectly led to the Imperium of Man obtaining the Panacea, the STC, which was particularly effective against plagues and diseases.

"Could this Blue-Feathered Bird have already sided with the Cursed One?!"

After Nurgle learned the entire process by which the Imperium of Man obtained the Panacea,

Watching the battle between Khorne and Tzeentch,

A look of doubt appeared on his fat, decaying face.

The Commorragh are of vital importance to humanity.

Once captured, there is an opportunity to establish a central hub for the Webway, thereby gaining control of the entire Webway system.

Once humans have the Webway, they can isolate themselves from emotional projection.

In that case, the Warp would become desolate.

Many demons perish because they lose the nourishment of extreme emotions.

At this critical juncture, Tzeentch allowed his men to aid the henchmen of the Cursed One.

It also indirectly led to the Panacea falling into the hands of the Imperium.

This guy is so good at intrigue and trickery, this must have been all planned out.

They want to weaken themselves by having humans take action.

The despicable and shameless Blue-Feathered Bird.

Nurgle spat inwardly, thinking that he was still too honest and not as cunning as that Blue-Feathered Bird.

We can't tolerate this. Send troops and kill this bastard.

Immediately afterwards, the vast Nurgle Daemon Army set out, heading straight for the Crystal Labyrinth.

The three forces fought a devastating battle in the Warp, creating one terrifying Warp Storm after another.

Nurgle didn't forget Erebus either.

Even if this wicked creature was unaware of the Blue-Feathered Bird's scheme, it was still involved and was the culprit.

He directly bestowed a plague upon Erebus, that wicked seed.

This plague blessing will cause the recipient immense suffering, with their body slowly rotting away.

However, at the same time, Erebus will also gain tenacious vitality and an immortal body.

At this time, Erebus was being held by Vect in a special Webway node prison.

This Webway node is one of the secret bases of Kabal of the Black Heart.

Members of the Kabal that had withdrawn from Commorragh continued to rush this way.

To torment Erebus,

Several Blood Reaver serving Kabal of the Black Heart used the various skills they had honed throughout their lives.

Erebus's screams never stopped.

Honestly, Erebus was starting to regret running away from the Dark Throne.

At least, those henchmen of the Corpse Emperor will give him a quick death.

They wouldn't torture him with such vicious methods as these Dark Eldar.

What devastated Erebus even more was that the Dark Eldar tortured him not only physically, but also mentally and spiritually.

The most vicious, evil, and twisted methods of torture that humans could devise are nothing compared to a single hair of the Dark Eldar.

After personally experiencing the methods these guys use,

Erebus even suspected that Slaanesh became the God of Chaos because he had accumulated too much merit by eating those Aeldari.

The Dark Eldar are so vicious that even Chaos trembles in fear.

"One day, I will kill you all."

Bound to the torture rack, Erebus silently swore an oath, tears streaming down his face.

These Dark Eldar not only tortured him, but they also did that other thing to him.

They even said they would never keep good things to themselves, and that everyone should line up and come one by one.

Thinking of these humiliations, Erebus hated the Dark Eldar to the core.

Then, footsteps sounded again.

Vect and his personal Blood Reaver jester, Gruumener, entered the prison.

They sized up Erebus and discussed what new methods they could use to torture him.

"Overlord, how about we use surgery to transform this guy into a woman, get him pregnant, and then kill his child?"

Gruumener offered Vect a new idea.

"Surely such a wicked person wouldn't be sad about the death of his child?" Vect questioned.

"This surgery not only alters the target's body structure but also stimulates the target's hormone secretion."

"After the surgery, I will inject him with special drugs to force this bad seed to be filled with a woman's maternal love, and then shape his memories to make him dependent on children."

"Then, in front of him, we'll cut the child into pieces."

Gruumener is very experienced in this kind of thing.

He had long since reached the pinnacle of how to torment others.

Simply torturing a creature with pain is not enough to completely defeat it.

First, we need to evoke their longing for a better future.

Then grind it into powder little by little.

In that case, the resulting despair and pain are far more delicious than mere torture.

"Then let's do it." Vect nodded, seeing how confident Gruumener was.

Erebus: "..."

You damned Dark Eldar, could you be any more twisted?!

Torture yourself with torture, that's one thing.

It's one thing to do that kind of thing to yourself, like Indians and blacks.

Now, she's even thinking about gender-swapping and getting pregnant?!

How did these guys come up with such disgusting and twisted things?

The fall of the Aeldari Empire was truly not unjust at all!

Gruumener is very capable of action.

She immediately arranged for Erebus to undergo gender reassignment surgery with her assistant, so that this "bad seed" could experience what it's like to be a mother.

However, halfway through the surgery,

A foul stench emanated from Erebus.

That was the blessing of the Plague God at work.

As Erebus watched his body begin to rot and grow maggots,

Gruumener tried to treat his plague, but to no avail.

Several of his men also contracted the plague and turned into a pile of rotting pus and blood.

Gruumener had no choice but to abandon his plan.

Lock Erebus in a cell and let him rot and die quietly.

Commorragh.

As Eldrad Ulthran and the Craftworld Aeldari repaired the rift in the skies above Commorragh,

The Dark Throne was then closed.

Qin Yun stepped down from the Dark Throne.

Although that super vision was awesome, Qin Yun's energy consumption was ridiculously high.

His body was completely hollowed out, as if it had been ravaged by five hundred Succubus in turn.

I can only lie down and recover slowly.

Although the demons are gone, the war in the Commorragh continues.

The three factions— the Orks, the Tyranid, and the humans—each occupy a portion of the territory and continuously launch attacks on each other, resulting in a war of attrition.

However, Commorragh, this city with its Webway, is really big.

Countless Webway connect cities located thousands, or even tens of thousands, of light-years apart.

Even with the three races fighting here, it doesn't feel crowded at all; on the contrary, it feels rather spacious.

Honestly, if Erebus hadn't used the Dark Throne to create a rift, allowing the demons to invade and scaring away the Dark Eldar,

The war between humans and the Dark Eldar will last for a very long time.

It must be said that the Dark Throne incident is yet another piece of evidence of Erebus's indirect loyalty.

Without this guy, it would take humanity a lot of time and effort to gain a foothold in the Commorragh and achieve dominance.

Humanity, relying on its powerful logistics, fought wars while simultaneously demolishing the Dark Eldar's buildings and constructing fortresses.

By the time Qin Yun recovered, the Imperium had already built a massive fortress in the Commorragh.

In this war of attrition, the Tyranids grew weaker and weaker due to lack of supplies and were eventually defeated, with the surviving Tyranid creature escaping into the Webway.

The Orks, on the other hand, get stronger the more they fight.

I don't know how they did it.

Orks continued to cross the Warp in their dilapidated warships, traversing the complex Webway to reach the Commorragh battlefield.

Qin Yun guessed that it might be related to the fact that they were creations of Old Ones!

The Commorragh are now a battleground between humans and Orks.

Humans want to monopolize this Webway city, while the Orks just want to fight.

After understanding the battle situation, Qin Yun let Little Fulgrim continue to command the battle.

"My Living Saint, Trajan has brought you a message. The Primarch has been in contact with him and hopes that you will reply to him when you have time."

A member of the Adeptus Custodes who arrived in Commorragh with logistical supplies relayed Trajan's message to Qin Yun.

"I see."

Qin Yun asked Xi Ling to help him establish communication with Guilliman.

Inside the Projection Hall of the newly completed Commorragh Fortress,

As information flooded in, the projection device hummed, and the projected beam outlined Guilliman's figure.

"My Living Saint, you've finally replied to me."

Guilliman's tone was agitated.

"Regent," Qin Yun said, "Something happened in the Webway, so there was a delay. I'm sorry."

"Please don't apologize. I know you won the Battle of Commorragh, captured that ancient city of the Webway, and drove out the minions of the Chaos Gods. Even my father never achieved such feats."

Guilliman dared not accept Qin Yun's apology and waved his hands repeatedly.

"The reason I'm in such a hurry to find you is because I have a warning to give you."

"What warning?" Qin Yun asked, puzzled.

Guilliman said in a serious tone, "A new and terrifying being may be born in the Warp. My advisor said it could be a new evil god, but we don't know how it came to be."

"The situation is getting increasingly dire. The power of the Warp is growing stronger, while the Imperium remains in this half-dead state. Fortunately, you are here; otherwise, I don't know how I would face this alone."

"A new evil god?" Qin Yun also became somewhat serious.

But he was also somewhat confused, as he didn't see any other evil gods when he sat on the Dark Throne.

"Yes, I felt the gaze of that evil being."

Guilliman's words made Qin Yun's eyes widen. He tentatively asked,

"Did you also retrieve the Emperor's Sword and threaten the other party?"

Guilliman was somewhat surprised. "How did you know, Living Saint?"

First Company of black lines appeared on Qin Yun's forehead.

It turns out it was all a misunderstanding.

He also believed that a fifth evil god, besides the Dark King, had been born in the Warp.

"When I sat on the Dark Throne, I gained a divine vision that overlooked the entire Milky Way. It was me looking at you, not some evil god?"

"Was my gaze really that evil?"

Ah!!

Guilliman's eyes widened.

"You're saying that the one spying on me is you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun's forehead creased with even more black lines.

What is voyeurism?!

These words make him sound like an extremely lewd pervert.

Upon learning the truth, Guilliman's mind was instantly filled with countless thoughts.

He stared intently at the projection of the Living Saint in front of him, and an absurd thought arose in his mind.

Is the other person really human?

Could it be some evil god disguised in human flesh and blood?!

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now."

Qin Yun didn't want to talk about this with Guilliman anymore, so he changed the subject and told him his own plans.

He wants to Qidian from Commorragh and repair the Webway.

P. S.: Another 5,000 words, guys.

I apologize for the update time; I fell asleep again at noon.
