The Sisters of Silence Really Are the Best!

Wait a minute— Alvin had a sudden flash of inspiration and remembered the item he had seen at the Shadow Dome Council when Lloyd first brought him here!

"The Flesh-and-Blood Covenant"

He still remembered that the effect of that "Chaos Artifact" was to absorb the user's blood and create seven different diseases and plagues!

Could the diseases and plagues spreading here originate from that "Chaos Artifact"?!

"I think I know where this thing came from—" Alvin turned around and discovered that everyone in the team, except for himself and Ilya, had been infected with the "virus."

Even though the Space Marine's bodies had undergone nineteen inhuman modifications, long since crossing the threshold from humans to demigods, they were still no different from mortals in the face of the virus of "Nurgle, the Father of Plagues"!

At most—that is, they can hold out a little longer!

Upon realizing they were infected with the virus, the Company Commander of the First Company immediately ordered all the Dark Angels to stay away from Alvin and Ilya, creating an opening.

To this day, they still haven't figured out how the virus spreads!

Air?

No, it's definitely not air. Every Space Marine wears a helmet with an internal filter, so airborne transmission is eliminated.

The case of the Dark Angels was infected later also proved that the virus is not transmitted through contact, blood, or other means.

The only remaining possibility is the mode of transmission of this virus, which may be beyond human imagination.

It even transcends the rules of the Materium!

"Your His Highness Alvin!" The company commander made a decision in Company Commander instant, his gaze resolute as he looked at Alvin: "Next, I will lead them to get you out of here before the virus completely corrupts you!"

This is the best solution given the current situation!

Under no circumstances could they allow Alvin to venture any further. The virus here was too bizarre; otherwise, if anything went wrong, they, the "Fallen Angels," would never be redeemed!

"No."

To his surprise, Alvin immediately rejected his suggestion, his gaze calm and collected as he looked towards the temple deep within the fog, saying, "Let's continue forward. I think I already know the source of this virus."

"No, Your His Highness Alvin!" The Company Commander coughed heavily and said again, "Your safety is the top priority now. We absolutely cannot let you take any risks!"

After all, if Alvin dies, they're truly finished!

Alvin was about to speak when he felt an itch in his throat and couldn't help but cough, "Cough cough----"

It's over... The Company Commander's pupils constricted sharply. Even Alvin was infected. He couldn't imagine how the Chapter Master would view them after finding out about this!

This is a disgrace to the Dark Angels!

"Heh---" However, Alvin, who was infected by the virus, was not so panicked. He chuckled and said, "It seems that there is no need to argue now. We only have one path left, which is to find the source of the virus and eliminate it."

But there is still a question worth pondering.

First, Aldrich was infected, and the next one to be infected was the Dark Angels who had been in contact with him.

Then, as they became more vigilant, the entire Dark Angels team was suddenly infected by the virus, except for him and Ilya, who remained unharmed.

Then it was his turn.

Ilya's situation could be explained, since she was a "Blank" with extremely strong resistance to the Warp. Even if it were a biological virus, with that ancient armor, it should be difficult for her to infect Sisters of Silence.

So here's the question: viral infections shouldn't occur in any particular order, right? If things were normal...

He must have been infected at the same time as the Dark Angels!

But the symptoms occurred in a specific order, which means there might be some details he missed!

What exactly are these details?

Alvin pondered deeply, trying to figure out what made him different from the infected Dark Angels.

As he pondered, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards Ilya, and a guess immediately formed in his mind.

"That's right, it's you!" Alvin's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Ilya.

The only difference between him and the Dark Angels is that he is always by Ilya's side, Blank is the nemesis of the Chaos power of the Warp!

However, because the domain of the Blank is naturally repulsive to normal people, causing Psyker to subconsciously stay away, this led to Alvin also being infected by the virus.

Fortunately, with Ilya, the Sisters of Silence, there, the spread of the virus in his body was slowed down to the greatest extent possible!

Thinking of this, Alvin immediately said, "Ilya, from now on, don't concern yourself with our wishes."

Expand your territory to the maximum extent possible!

If his guess is correct, then as long as Ilya is there, the virus can be contained within her body!

"Understood!"

Ilya held her breath and focused her mind, expanding her Blank Domain to its maximum extent possible!

A wave of nausea, dizziness, and a feeling of the world spinning over me washed over me, and everything in front of me seemed to blur!

Furthermore, the sense of powerlessness emanating from the depths of his soul made Alvin's legs go weak, as if he had been "drained," and even standing was difficult.

The stench, mixed with a deep-seated disgust, nearly broke through Alvin's psychological defenses, causing his face to contort in agony as he forced himself to suppress his discomfort. "From now on, try not to get away from—her."

The realm of the Blank had a far greater impact on him than Alvin had imagined!

His soul even showed signs of being devoured, as if he had fallen into an abyss. At this moment, Ilya was like a high-powered vacuum cleaner in his eyes, repelling all the surrounding Psychic Power and Warp power, forming a near-vacuum area!

Even the battle-hardened Dark Angels couldn't help but show disdain when enveloped by Ilya's domain.

Feelings of disgust.

Fortunately, there was no Librarian in this team, otherwise they would have already been engulfed in a sharp explosion.

The Company Commander took a deep breath. "Your His Highness Alvin, we will pave a path for you before you are completely infected and fall into Chaos!"

Despite Ilya's best efforts to cover as many people as possible within the Blank Realm, her individual strength was ultimately limited, and some Dark Angels remained outside its reach.

"Fifth squad, you are responsible for clearing the way ahead." The Company Commander decisively issued the order, placing the soldiers with milder symptoms inside, while those with more severe symptoms voluntarily left the area to clear the way ahead.

This is a decision that must be made!

Those "abandoned" warriors stepped out of the territory without hesitation. Despite the horrific and painful sight of flesh melting away bit by bit and rotting flesh crawling out from the gaps in their armor, they remained silent and cleared the way ahead.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Every few minutes, Reinhardt and the Dark Angels on the periphery would use Bolter to execute their comrades outside the area who had been corrupted by the virus.

Every gunshot represents the passing of their comrades-in-arms, who once fought side by side and were inseparable!

Finally, in the vast fog, they found a dilapidated temple, the interior of which resembled a blooming Garden of Nurgle.

However, while flowers bloom in the Garden of Nurgle, what blooms in this decaying temple are rotten, nauseating flesh and blood, as well as spores symbolizing viruses and plagues!
