At its peak, it could provide the Ultramarines Legion with over 250,000 Astartes Space Marines and billions of mortal soldiers to participate in the Great Crusade launched by the Emperor, as well as the massive warships and other range of weapons and equipment necessary to form a huge army.
Moreover, unlike other planets that obtain maximum production through mad exploitation of civilians, this is one of the very few places in the Empire that can be called a "beacon of civilization."
Although this is a highly populated hive planet, it is not a hopeless world where the lower-class civilians may never have the chance to see the sky in their entire lives. It not only has large areas of parks, green belts, libraries and other public facilities, but also has always been quite rich in daily life.
Even during the decline of the empire in the so-called "Old Night", it always maintained a relatively rational way of thinking, instead of directly degenerating into the decadent and backward feudal system, slavery, and theocracy like most planets.
Quite the opposite!
Ultramar has always continued the glorious tradition left by the Lord of the Ultramarines Legion, and ruled the people in accordance with the Imperial Truth advocated by the Emperor. The average education level of ordinary people may be second only to Terra, far ahead of the average level of the Empire.
This is also the reason why, during the dark age that lasted for tens of thousands of years, this planet suffered invasions from countless terrifying enemies but still stood firm.
The highly educated people understood why they were fighting and what defeat would mean, so they tried their best to provide a steady stream of logistical supplies to each war group. Even the equipment of the mortal auxiliary army was far ahead of other places.
After all, the philosophy of the Ultramarines has always been to learn how to operate and fortify cities, and the rest is to drag down the opponent through constant consumption.
Although after the end of the Horus Heresy, in order to make up for his disloyalty in creating the Second Empire, Robouti Guilliman split the Five Hundred Worlds he once ruled into smaller administrative units based on planets and star systems.
This directly led to a significant shrinkage of the star regions covered by the Five Hundred Worlds due to the continuous encroachment of powerful enemies.
But now, the thousand-man regiments split from the Ultramarines Legion stationed here are still holding on to hundreds of fronts and together with the mortal auxiliaries, they are stubbornly blocking the three Chaos fleets led by the Daemon Primarch Mortarion, the Nurgle Vanguard Typhas, and the Great Unclean K'gath.
The latter can only wander around some marginal planets outside Ultramar, spreading the Warp plague from Nurgle on worlds such as Espandor and Ardium, turning the living people inside into zombies to besiege the sturdy fortresses located on these planets, consuming the ammunition and spirit of the defenders, which has a bit of the flavor of the Undead Scourge.
This undoubtedly aroused Zuo Si's interest.
Because in terms of professionalism in this field, he is not inferior to the other party at all, and he is even stronger after integrating the divine power bestowed by Talona and the Scourge plague of Azeroth.
After all, neither of these two plagues can be prevented or cured through so-called "scientific" methods.
Especially the former. Once injected with enough divine power or quasi-divine power, even the gods themselves cannot be completely immune, let alone mere mortals or demons from the warp.
However, Zuo Si didn't really like this kind of meaningless killing and destruction, so he never really used it.
But when he saw three great Nurgle demons showing off their skills right under his nose, he finally couldn't help but show up to show off his skills to them and even to the "kind father" behind them.
At this moment, on a Forge Planet where more than 70% of its land had been lost, Zuo Si was looking down at the thousands of civilians who had been corrupted by the plague and turned into zombies, rushing towards a sturdy fortress like a tide.
The Astartes regiments in the fortress, wearing blue-painted power mechas, and the nearly hundreds of millions of mortal auxiliary troops who came at the last minute, opened fire at full capacity, weaving a horrifying web of death.
Countless zombies were torn into pieces by lasers, melta, physical shells and bombs on their charge. The blood, flesh, explosions and flames in the sky intertwined to form a magnificent symphony of war.
If the fleet had not been destroyed and lost control of the planet's orbit, it would have already begun orbital bombing, the Human Empire Navy's most powerful skill.
Because these zombies are not the unintelligent and extremely fragile zombies in many biological disaster movies, but the warp plague mutants cooked out of the cauldron of Nurgle, the kind father. Not only do they move at an incredibly fast speed, but they can also grow various tentacles, organs, and enhanced biological armor according to the needs of the battlefield.
Some people's bodies will explode and green liquid or gas will flow out and spread around.
If anyone accidentally smells it, it will soon be distorted and corrupted.
In fact, the current defenders are already facing this terrible problem.
Many of them who were fighting on the front line had varying degrees of terrible symptoms such as fever, cough, erythema, herpes, internal bleeding, etc.
Inside the fortress, there are many isolated rooms filled with patients who have lost consciousness, whose bodies have begun to rot and emit a pungent stench.
If there is no external interference, the result that awaits this planet is that it will be completely occupied by Nurgle. All living people will be infected by the plague and eventually transformed into various distorted forms, and then sent to other planets by Nurgle's fleet to continue to grow like a snowball.
The Daemon Primarch Mortarion hoped that by continuing the slaughter and destruction of Ultramar, he would attract his newly awakened brother, Robert Guilliman, and then kill or capture him to please the great father Nurgle.
After all, all the Primarchs knew that Robert Guilliman's fighting ability was almost at the bottom, if not the worst, among the Emperor's many children.
Therefore, after learning that Robert Guilliman had awakened, all the Primarchs who had surrendered to the Chaos Gods were sharpening their knives and treating him as prey.
Of course, Zuo Si was not interested in the civil war among the primarchs.
Because these emperors used the power of the subspace and genetic engineering to create creatures that cannot be considered human at all from a biological point of view, their actual combat power is just so-so, at best they can barely reach the level of demigods, and there is no room for further improvement.
With the knowledge and power Zuo Si currently possesses, as long as he is willing to pay enough, he can easily create a creature that can compete with the Primitive.
In comparison, these raging warp plagues aroused his interest even more.
"Well, after observing for such a long time, what do you think about these subspace plagues?" Zuo Si suddenly asked without warning.
"Humph! Excluding the supernatural part that is enhanced by the power of the warp, the rest is just an enhanced version of some common viruses, bacteria and toxins. Is this worthy of being one of the four most powerful evil gods in the universe? The so-called Nurgle is nothing more than this!"
Along with a disdainful voice, the Lich King Jaina, who had just been summoned, revealed naked and undisguised contempt.
After all, in terms of power, the plague released by these minions of Nurgle cannot be compared with the magical plague containing the power of death used by the Scourge.
Even as long as the patient can be sent to a hospital with a complete medical system in the rear in time, there is a high probability that he can recover quickly and return to the battlefield to continue serving the empire.
What's more, the Lich King Jaina in front of him with long white hair was strengthened by Zuo Si using the power of Talona. According to the rules of the continent of Faerun, she is definitely a true elect.
In her eyes, if the plagues and diseases created by the evil god Nurgle were of this level, then they could just get lost as far away as possible.
Zuo Si couldn't help but smiled and reminded him after hearing this: "I advise you not to underestimate Nurgle.
He is not only the god of plague and disease, but also a god who symbolizes the essence of life.
It was only distorted by the mortal believers of this universe, and eventually formed a terrifying projection of reality in the subspace.
Not only Nurgle, but all the evil gods in the Warp are subject to very severe restrictions in the physical universe, so they cannot exert their full power at all.
But no matter what, these crappy plagues are really disappointing.
I hope you can show him a little bit of your skills, and let the self-righteous Mortarion, Typhas and Ku'gath understand what a truly unbeatable magical plague is. "
"You mean... I can let go and do something big?"
Lich King Jaina suddenly raised her head, and her eyes under the Helm of Domination flashed with a piercing cold blue light.
“That’s right.
In addition to the human empire, I authorize you to attack and convert any forces in the entire galaxy, including Chaos forces, Eldar, Orks, Zerg, Tau Empire, and Necrons.
However, since the Necrons have no souls in their mechanical bodies and their technological level is absurdly high, I do not recommend that you attack them actively.
When dealing with this completely mechanical body, Shuoyou is their biggest nemesis.
Also, don't enter the warp easily before the Scourge under your command has reached a certain scale.
Because I need you to weaken or even replace Nurgle's influence in the real universe in the name of the Scourge."
Zuo Si gave orders to his follower without any hesitation.
Due to the immortality of the evil gods in the Warp, replacing them with a subordinate or ally with similar abilities is the only viable solution at this stage.
"As you wish!"
Jaina raised her chin slightly with a proud yet cold smile on her face. She slowly pulled out the glowing artifact Frostmourne and jumped down from a height of thousands of meters.
While falling, she quickly released ice magic to wrap herself in an enormous block of ice.
When it descended below one thousand meters, the diameter of the ice block had expanded to the size of a meteorite over hundreds of meters. Then, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, it smashed into the center of the battlefield with a bang.
The flying ice fragments instantly tore into pieces the thousands of zombies and Astartes who had defected to Nurgle.
The horrifyingly low temperature even reduced the ambient temperature within a radius of tens of kilometers to around minus 260 degrees Celsius in just a few seconds. Countless zombies and Death Guard Chaos Space Marines who were charging in the previous second turned into ice sculptures in the next second.
The shocking scene that could not be described in words even caused the Human Empire defenders in the fortress to subconsciously stop shooting.
The commander of the regiment, wearing a blue-painted power mecha, stood at the highest point, with an expression of disbelief on his resolute and indifferent face, which was very rare.
Although he had fought hard battles with these Chaos forces for hundreds of years and understood how terrifying and difficult the Warp power they possessed was, this was the first time he had encountered such a large-scale supernatural phenomenon.
Especially the beautiful and cool female figure holding a long sword, who doesn't look like a person of this era at all.
Just when the chapter commander was confused about the situation, the Lich King Jaina had already begun to wield Frostmourne to reap the Nurgle zombies with some souls remaining in their bodies, while releasing the Scourge plague strengthened by Talona's divine power.
In just a few minutes, countless zombies and even Death Guards fell down and stood up again.
But this time, there was no life or breath of the Warp on them anymore, but they were the servants of the Lich King filled with coldness and death.
What's even more terrifying is that the first thing these resurrected undead did after getting up was to turn around and launch an attack on the vast and boundless army of Nurgle.
A high-ranking Nurgle demon who was commanding the battle on the front line showed an extremely shocked expression, and even the pustules on his body were shaking uncontrollably. He obviously couldn't believe that he had always been the only one who could transform others with the plague, but today he was being transformed in reverse by an unknown enemy with an even more terrifying plague.
But the Lich King Jaina obviously didn't give him too much time to react. She instantly cast teleportation magic to flash in front of him, raised the rune sword in her hand and pierced through his chest.
The Nurgle demon was killed on the spot, and then its soul was torn apart by the power of Frostmourne. The huge pustules on its body exploded one after another, and the rotten and smelly muscles and internal organs were transformed by the magical plague in a very short time.
In just the blink of an eye, he was transformed from an ugly Nurgle demon into a death knight who controlled the power of frost and plague.
Not only the living zombies, but also the corpses and pieces of flesh that had been smashed to pieces by the imperial defenders on the ground were pieced together one by one under the effect of frost magic, turning into half-dead and half-elemental creatures mixed with bones, flesh, blood and ice. They picked up the ranged and melee weapons that fell on the ground and joined the battle.
Obviously, this is the terrifying power that Jaina Proudmoore, the genius frost mage of Azeroth, possesses after becoming the Lich King.
Compared to Arthas, who is almost a pure warrior, she is the chosen one who can truly unleash the great potential of the Helm of Domination and the Rune Sword - Frostmourne.
What is happening on this planet right now is not a simple war, but a true confrontation between natural disasters.
With the help of the Helm of Domination, Jaina can easily control hundreds of millions of undead servants and let them execute various complex tactics according to her will.
Whether it was the weapons and equipment abandoned by the human defenders or the logistical supplies of the Nurgle Legion, this Scourge army quickly became powerful and impossible to defeat.
Some void whales that originally floated in densely populated areas to infect more humans, as well as the Nurgle demons carried in their bodies, directly became the initial valuable forces for Lich King Jaina to establish the Scourge.
Even the Nurgle warships that were parked in the planet's orbit and covered with tentacles and looked quite indescribable were destroyed one after another by Jaina's large-scale teleportation magic assault.
Eventually, this planet, which was about to fall completely under the siege of Nurgle's army, changed from a disgusting and filthy world to a silent, cold and dead area.
Because the plague released by Nurgle is ultimately a part of life and has no effect on the undead.
Subspace viruses and bacteria that can decompose and corrupt all flesh and blood will be killed by the power of death the moment they approach undead creatures.
They can't even survive, let alone spread and infect on a large scale.
Needless to say, Zuo Si has accurately grasped the biggest weakness of Nurgle's forces this time, namely the opposition between life and death.
Although some of the plagues brewed by the evil god Nurgle can even affect inorganic substances such as metals, what he ultimately represents is life itself.
This means that when encountering negative energy, the power of death and other completely opposite forces, one will be immediately pinned to the ground and killed.
Especially in the material universe where the power of the Warp is severely restricted, the Lich King and the Undead Scourge she leads are Nurgle's natural nemesis.
"Well done, dear Jaina. I hope the Great Father will enjoy the little surprise I have for him."
After watching the entire planet's Nurgle forces being slaughtered and transformed into a huge army of undead, Zuo Si suddenly had a playful smile on his face.
He could already feel that as the Scourge grew stronger, the Lich King Jaina already had her own projection in the Warp.
As long as the number of the Scourge continues to expand, even without strong emotions and beliefs, Jaina can tear apart Nurgle's throne bit by bit and become an evil god symbolizing death, cold, plague and disease, which is exactly the opposite of Nurgle in terms of power.
By then, the more powerful Lich King Jaina becomes, the weaker Nurgle's power will be.
Thinking of this, the pair of electronic eyes on Zuo Si's metal body flashed a red light, and then quickly disappeared on the spot through the subspace teleportation.
With continuous research and familiarity, he now basically does not need to rely on the connection of the super-time and space beacon tower to obtain energy from the main body. He can easily achieve some spell effects such as teleportation by using the energy of the subspace alone.
However, what Zuo Si didn't know was that as soon as he left, the defenders trapped in the fortress began a heated discussion.
The leading Astartes Chapter Master glanced at his brothers who looked nervous and tired, and asked in a slightly heavy tone: "According to the intelligence transmitted back from the reconnaissance drone, all the Nurgle troops on this planet have been cleared out by the woman who suddenly appeared.
To be precise, he was killed by her and transformed into a form that we cannot understand at all.
Now let's talk about what we should do. Should we send envoys to negotiate with them, or continue to stay in the fortress and wait for reinforcements?
This concerns the lives of all soldiers and refugees in the fortress.
You have to know that with the supplies we have currently stored, we can only last for four months at most."
"What on earth is that woman? Some powerful Warp creature or deity?"
A company commander with an officer's badge asked in an uncertain tone.
The Chapter Master smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't know what that is.
But what is certain is that if she wants, she can kill us all at any time by freezing the entire fortress.
But she did not do so, and instead helped us kill all the filthy Nurgle enemies.
This is why I proposed sending an envoy.
In addition, judging from her race, she should be a human being, not some other alien creature."
Obviously, the last sentence of the chapter master is the key to all the reasons.
Under the influence of ten thousand years of ignorant religion, the Empire's current advocacy of human supremacy is far more extreme than before the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne.
Although there are sub-human races with human-like appearance who are accepted by the Empire and even allowed to join the army to serve the Empire, such as Ogryn (a humanoid creature with low intelligence but abnormally strong body, which is very similar to humans overall and can reach a height of two and a half to three meters) and Skaven (a short humanoid creature that does not really look like a mouse, and belongs to a completely different race from the Skaven).
Otherwise, given the darkness, coldness and cruelty of the human empire, the strategy adopted towards the indigenous people of the colonized planets would basically be to kill them all off.
Not to mention foreigners, they never show mercy even to their own human beings.
Therefore, Jaina's standard human appearance, figure and physical features made the captain suspect that this might be a "living saint" who had recently been blessed by the God-Emperor, just like Celestine, a popular idol known throughout the Empire.
The so-called "living saint" can actually be simply understood as the extraordinary combat power specially selected by the human emperor to match the evil gods and demons in the subspace.
Take Celestine, for example, who possesses terrifying powers capable of resurrecting the dead and confronting the most powerful demons head-on.
And the most interesting thing is that when there are devices that can suppress the power of the warp nearby, the power of the living saint will be weakened exponentially like the great demon.
Although the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition have been trying to cover up and conceal the truth, anyone with a little knowledge of the Warp can infer what a dangerous and terrifying existence the God-Emperor sitting on the Golden Throne has become after learning this information.
It can even be said that the entire human race is in danger.
Who knows when the disaster of the birth of Slaanesh and the destruction of the Eldar will once again befall humanity.
"Then let's send an envoy to try to make contact. Our situation can't get any worse anyway."
The Chapter Consul, who served as an advisor and tactical expert, thought for a moment and voted in favor.
"I agree!"
"At least confirm the other party's identity first."
"I object. What if this triggers a new round of attacks from the other side?"
"I also think it's a bit too risky to make contact at this time."
For a moment, the officers of the Astartes Chapter were divided on this issue.
Just as they were arguing, a communications soldier suddenly rushed in from outside, shouting breathlessly: "Report! That...that woman, with all the men under her control, has boarded the battleship and left the planet."
"What? Repeat it again!"
The captain of the regiment was stunned for a moment.
Not only him, but the other Space Marine officers also took off their helmets and showed expressions of disbelief.
"You better see for yourself."
Without saying a word, the signalman turned on the satellite and electronic equipment to capture the fleet that changed direction in the planetary orbit. He saw that the space battleships that were originally covered with tentacles, mouths and corrupted cysts under the influence of Nurgle were now completely wrapped in crystal clear ice. They actually turned around and flew directly to another occupied planet, destroying the fortress built by the enemy on the satellite along the way.
Are they really friendly forces? The same question popped up in the minds of all the Astartes warriors present.
After all, judging from the opponent's series of actions, it would be hard to explain if they were not friendly forces.
After a long silence, the Chapter Master was the first to come to his senses and said seriously, "Send the Astropath to see me immediately! I think we must report this matter to the Imperial Regent and the Parliament."
"clear!"
The signalman quickly stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and jogged away, disappearing at the end of the dark and narrow fortress tunnel.
With the Lich King Jaina being released by Zuo Si, both the human empire and the evil gods of the warp are bound to make some reactions, and the originally chaotic situation will become even more unpredictable.
…
At the same time, far away in the solar system, in the imperial capital, Terra.
Grace had just comforted each other with a few close "sisters" and was now lying naked on the bed, applying a medicine that could quickly repair damaged skin and muscles to each other in order to cover up their bodies that were torn apart by the whip.
After doing all this, these nuns, who had the same sadistic and masochistic tendencies as her, reluctantly put on their clothes and kissed each other affectionately. Then they covered their faces with their hoods and quickly disappeared into the darkness under the cover of night.
These nuns, whose minds had become twisted and morbid due to long-term repression, had no idea that after this brief catharsis, the seeds of pain had been branded into their souls.
From now on, every pain caused by torturing the other person or being tortured by the other person will be multiplied and transformed into extreme spiritual pleasure.
After just a few uses, you will inevitably become completely addicted, and get deeper and deeper, until you become a low-level devil controlled by Grace.
In this way, Grace could corrupt the bureaucratic system at the heart of the empire bit by bit from within Terra.
Relying on the convenience brought by her special identity as the Grand Sister, she has successfully converted more than 5,000 subordinates during the time she returned to Terra.
If it weren't for the fear of alerting the Minister of the Interior, Violetta Roskavler, or attracting the attention of the Assassin's Court, another zero could be added to the end of this number.
Because you simply cannot imagine how many unspeakable crimes will be committed within a regime composed of humans after it has been running for ten thousand years.
Even after a series of reforms and purges were carried out after the return of the Primitive, it was still impossible to change its completely hopeless nature.
You have to know that during the time when Robert Guilliman became the Regent of the Empire and regained power, the political situation on Terra was not smooth sailing.
Several high-ranking members of the original parliament jumped out to express strong opposition, and even started a rebellion to force the Primarch to back down, shouting "the laws of the ancestors cannot be changed" and demanding that Robert Guilliman stop all reforms and follow the ancient traditions of the Empire.
But unfortunately, they apparently forgot that the Primarch represented the will of the Lord of Mankind who sat on the Golden Throne.
As a result, before any waves could be caused, the assassins of the Assassin's Court easily suppressed these conservative voices through several successful assassinations.
Grace witnessed it all, so she knew very well how much darkness and secrets were hidden beneath Terra's calm surface.
Moreover, the conservatives were not completely purged or surrendered because of the deaths of several leaders.
At this moment, they are still hiding in the dark and accumulating strength, planning to wait until the Primarch is injured and falls into hibernation or simply dies in the Indomitable Crusade, and then jump out to seize power and put the Empire back on the so-called "right track."
In fact, as the home planet of mankind, the power struggle on Terra has never stopped. Even during the period when the emperor ruled personally, special personnel were needed to balance the internal political factions.
It was also thanks to the conservatives attracting most of the attention that Grace's infiltration went so smoothly.
Now, she has secretly controlled more than twenty orders of combat sisters, as well as key positions including the Order of the Sisters Hospitaller and the Order of the Sisters of the Secretaries.
As this network hidden in the darkness continues to expand, it won't be long before a powerful military force that is absolutely obedient to him will be obtained.
Although they cannot compare with the Custodes and those Astartes Chapters, doing something in secret can definitely cause great chaos.
Just as Grace was standing in front of the huge mirror, admiring her perfect golden-proportioned figure and black wings in her devil form, she suddenly felt a shadow appear on the window behind her. She immediately turned around and asked, "Who's there?"
"It's me, Mistress."
Along with a gentle voice, a nun in a black robe with a pair of black wings behind her flew in from the windowsill, holding a woman wrapped in a gray latex-like material in her hands.
Because the material is too tight, it looks almost nothing like being naked.
What is even more incredible is that after losing consciousness and awareness, her or his physiological gender continues to change.
At first it was clearly female, but after a few seconds it became male.
"A Callidus assassin? Are you being targeted by the Assassin's Court?"
Grace's expression changed slightly after confirming the identity of the prisoner.
The nun, who had completed the transformation from human to devil, hurriedly shook her head and explained: "No, it's not me who is being targeted, but the conservative Crosso.
Apparently, this guy had taken the lead in opposing the Imperial Regent's plan to reorganize the logistics department and was purged.
Fortunately, I was able to detect and capture the assassin at the moment he launched the attack.
After this incident, Croesus has agreed to work for you secretly in exchange for our protection.
Most importantly, he has become addicted to the pleasure of violence and masochism and should be able to meet the conversion standards soon.
No matter what he is thinking, he will have to obey you in the end."
"So the Assassin's Court is doing us a big favor?"
Grace's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly to reveal a playful smile.
The devil sister immediately replied, "Yes, Master. And I believe that after this failure, the Assassin's Court will not touch Croesus again in the short term. After all, with the Regent launching an expedition, the most important thing for Terra now is to maintain political stability. Once the conservatives get a hold of it, it may cause violent internal unrest. This is not the result they want."
"So the Inquisition will also compromise due to political factors? Interesting..."
Grace reached out and gently stroked the unconscious Callidus assassin, her tone full of surprise and unexpectedness.
Because in her impression, the Assassin's Court has always been the type that will never retreat even if they get broken-headed.
As early as during the Horus Heresy, the founder of this organization, the closest comrade-in-arms of the Emperor of Mankind, Imperial Chancellor Malcador, had sent assassins one after another to assassinate the leader of the rebels, Warmaster Horus.
You have to know that he is the most powerful Primarch of the Empire after the Emperor himself, and he has also been blessed by the Chaos Evil Gods of the Warp. His combat power is on the same level as that of mortals.
But what is the result?
Instead of giving up the mission, the Assassin's Court sent a new one for every assassin that died. In the later stages, they even threw large numbers of assassins directly at Horus' face in teams until the rebellion was quelled.
Since then, the Assassins' Court has been the most feared institution in the entire empire, second only to the Inquisition.
It's not that they are not as ruthless as the Inquisition, it's just that they are not as well-known as the Inquisition.
Generally speaking, once you are targeted by the Assassin's Court, you can basically go home and prepare for your funeral.
Because even if an assassination attempt fails, there will be a second, third, and fourth attempt until the target is confirmed dead.
Even if sometimes due to some special reasons we cannot touch someone temporarily, we will find ways to kill the other person after the storm is over.
"Master, how do we deal with this assassin?" the devil nun asked cautiously.
"Put her here. I will train her myself. This is a good opportunity for me to extend my tentacles into the inner court of justice."
As she spoke, Grace raised her hand and tore the assassin's tight outer garment into pieces, then used her magical power to extract some faintly fluorescent substances from his body.
These things are called "polymorphs" and are special drugs used by the Callidus assassins to change their body shape.
The reason why they can change into anything they want, from an Eldar beauty to an Ork, is because of the drugs they take, which is equivalent to a technological version of a shapeshifter.
When the drug was completely absorbed, the assassin returned to her normal human female appearance.
She looked to be around thirty years old, with a fit body acquired through long-term exercise. Her long hair was tied into a braid and hammered down to her heels. Her famous Star God Phase Blade and Neural Crusher had long been disarmed.
Without any hesitation!
After extracting the polymorph, Grace immediately picked up the whip placed on the bedside and whipped the assassin's naked body hard.
Snap! With a crisp sound of contact with the skin, a whip mark with flesh torn and blood dripping appeared directly on the latter's body.
If it were any normal person, they would have been unable to bear it and would have screamed and wailed by now.
But the female assassin Callidus remained motionless as if she felt nothing at all, and even her heartbeat and breathing did not show any abnormality.
"You are indeed an elite member of the Assassin's Court. Your endurance is truly admirable. But it's a pity. The pain you exude mentally cannot deceive me."
As Grace spoke, she reached out to grab the prisoner's ankles, trying to lift him upside down and put him in shackles.
But just as she reached out to grab him, the assassin Callidus suddenly jumped up, one hand instantly turned into a shadow and stabbed at his eyes, while his right knee bent and slammed into his lower body.
It has to be said that this move of attacking vital points from both above and below at the same time is extremely vicious, and it is worthy of being an organization that can make the entire human empire tremble in fear.
Unfortunately, Grace is no longer a mortal.
After becoming the Queen of Pain, the power she possesses has surpassed most of the Pit Fiends, and she can continuously draw energy from the Warp to strengthen herself.
As a result, when the fingers and knees hit the target, the sound of bones breaking was heard almost at the same time.
Snap!
Snap!
The assassin Callidus only felt a sharp pain, his fingers broke into 90-degree right angles on the spot, and the part below the knees was completely out of control. He lost his balance in an instant and fell headfirst to the ground.
At this critical moment, she realized that it was impossible for her to escape successfully, so she subconsciously wanted to commit suicide with her other hand to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy, being tortured, and leaking information that should not be leaked.
This is also the consistent style of the Assassin's Court.
But before the assassin Callidus could assist in the actual action, she felt an invisible force field directly binding her firmly in place, unable to move, and her body slowly recovered from the state of falling forward.
"Don't be in such a hurry to die.
Believe me, once you feel the ultimate pleasure and enjoyment of pain, you will soon forget those boring concepts about loyalty that the Inquisition has instilled in you.
Come on, my little cutie.
Let me teach you how to be happy.
Although this process may be a little painful, once you exceed a certain limit, the whole world will become different."
With the seductive whisper in her ear, Grace quickly cast an unknown spell to make the other person's body extremely sensitive, and then swung the thorny whip and whipped him hard.
This time, the assassin Callidus could no longer bear the pain and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
It's a pity that this room has long been cast with a sound-isolating magic, so no matter how loud the noise inside is, it cannot be heard outside.
