The Ever-Renewing Nurgle's Garden

The natural wind carried the sea of flowers, blanketing the earth and the mountain of corpses.

When these rootless flowers fall to the ground, fine roots grow from their tips and attach themselves to them.

It began frantically absorbing everything and turning it into nutrients.

The flowers became even more vibrant, and even the foul air acquired a sweet and fragrant scent.

Those Tomie, covered in flowers, giggled and looked even more alluring.

However, this allure diminished at a visible rate, and the nutrients absorbed by the flowers rooted in Tomie caused Tomie to deflate like a punctured balloon.

Flesh and blood melted away, and his face turned sallow, like a withered leaf, only more terrifying to a human.

This is the scene as seen through the eyes of the spirits, but to those creatures immersed in Tomie's love, she remains just as beautiful.

"I can't stop this madness, but I can wipe it all out!"

The roots of the flower field intertwine and extend in this greasy soil, converging at a single point.

Above it is a flower bud, and below it, the root system pulsates like a water pipe, with all the nutrients it absorbs converging into this flower bud.

In the blink of an eye, the flower bud grew to a size of 100 meters, and then bloomed brilliantly into a flower.

The mountain of corpses formed by Tomie was completely drained.

The flower trembled, scattering countless spores from its stamens and petals onto the ground.

And soon, fine roots extend from it and take root in the fertile soil, showing signs of a second wave of blooming flowers.

It seems that this cycle can continue endlessly, until the place is completely transformed into a sea of flowers, leaving no room for anything else.

Seeing this, Ling wore a relieved smile; this was how it should be.

However, before the smile on her face could fully bloom like the flowers, it froze on her face.

The largest flower had its originally smooth petals now covered with a dense array of raised marks.

As the raised lines became more pronounced, they looked more and more like the outlines of faces.

No... it's not just like it, it is it!

Ling could never forget that person etched deep into her mind, the same human who made up the mountain of corpses— Tomie!

But why did Tomie's face appear on the flowers she summoned?

An overwhelming sense of unease instantly welled up in Ling's heart.

Furthermore, Tomie's face became more and more distinct, not only her outline but also her features became clearer, and not only the petals but also the stamens resembled Tomie's face.

A sense of foreboding arose in Ling's heart, and the very next second that foreboding became reality.

Those faces that were originally just outlines and features came to life at this moment, as if they were being conceived within flower petals, constantly twisting and struggling.

Moreover, their limbs were clearly visible even as they struggled.

At this moment, this enormous flower resembles an insect nest, nurturing the birth of Tomie and her kind.

An indescribable sense of absurdity sent chills down Ling's spine. She couldn't understand why this was happening; this was her ability, how could it have given birth to something like this?

Even at this moment, she couldn't distinguish whether it was the ominous premonition in her heart that was influencing reality, or whether she was being influenced by reality.

Looking at the enormous, constantly writhing flower, a sense of foreboding returned to Ling's heart, and this foreboding materialized into reality.

The huge, uneven petals shattered completely at this moment, and a large amount of viscous, yellowish-green liquid flowed out.

And these liquids also enveloped Tomie was completely naked, as she fell down.

One by one, Tomie stood up from the viscous liquid, staring intently at Rei with a wicked smile on her face.

The gazes of millions were focused on Ling, which, although it did not cause any real harm, put immense mental pressure on her.

"Phew, if that's all, my sea of flowers will soon bloom again!"

The mental pressure is unbearable, but it doesn't mean I can't destroy this place.

The spores that the giant flower had just scattered have now formed into huge flower buds, completely covering the surrounding area once again.

"Bloom!"

As the spirit commanded, all the flower buds unfurled and began to bloom at the same moment!

But as all the flower buds bloomed, Ling instantly felt more and more eyes focusing on her from all directions.

When she realized where all those extra gazes were coming from, her face turned pale, her mind went blank, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Through the gaps peeking out from the blooming flower buds, pairs of eyes, both smiling and stiff, gazed intently at Ling.

When the bud fully blooms, what blossoms is not a flower, but Tomie!

That's right, each flower bud contained a Tomie, and after the buds opened, they all stood up from within.

The densely packed Tomie completely occupied the surroundings, and the overlapping, flamboyant laughter sounded incredibly sinister.

Meanwhile, outside the spirits surrounded by Tomie, the remaining creatures in the army also began to wreak havoc on the surrounding environment.

However, with their attack, these plants with flesh and blood all came back to life.

The insects were dragged and corroded, while a yellow mist, symbolizing Pestilence, began to spread across the land.

Even from deeper within, a large number of hideous monsters, seemingly formed from piles of rotting flesh, burst forth.

At this moment, Nurgle's Garden came to life.

Ling also noticed the changes in this fertile land, but from her perspective, the land's vitality was even more vigorous.

This is truly a land brimming with life and vitality.

However, Ling's attention was quickly drawn back to reality by the changes in Tomie's Tomie.

Before Ling could make another move, more and more Tomie's companions began lunging at each other.

The biting and grappling occurred without any energy fluctuations, seemingly like Common fight, but each attack was aimed at the other's vital points.

Tearing at the throat, fingers plunging from the other person's eyes into their brain, the abdomen being ripped open...

The surroundings were instantly engulfed in bloodshed and madness. Ling, who hadn't fully reacted yet, felt a chill run down her spine as she watched this scene.

As these Tomie died, their bodies, enveloped in a vibrant life force, decomposed at an accelerated rate.

The rotting Tomie formed pools of foul-smelling flesh, from which vegetation began to grow at an alarming rate.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings became vibrant and full of life.

After witnessing all of this, Ling's mind trembled uncontrollably. What a magnificent life force this was!

In this environment, an extreme idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

If only I could control this life force that represents vigorous vitality...
