As the cleansing operation of the entire Bottas star zone began, more than a hundred planets were instantly plunged into war.
Because the families of those eliminated planetary governors had already expanded over hundreds or even thousands of years into huge monopoly groups linked by blood ties.
Not only power and the military, but also almost all the most profitable industries on every planet are controlled by them.
So when these people learn that everything they have now will be taken away and even their lives will not be guaranteed, they will naturally desperately mobilize all the resources and forces they can to resist.
They even deceive civilians who know nothing about the real situation and let innocent ordinary people die in order to protect their own interests.
But unfortunately, as an almost forgotten and backward area on the frontier of the empire, the level of science and technology and industry here is really shockingly low.
Even some of the main forging planets can only produce tanks, armored vehicles, small transport ships less than one kilometer in length, carrier-based attack aircraft, torpedo boats and atmospheric flying vehicles at best.
As for weapons, they are only laser guns, plasma cannons, bolt guns, medium artillery that fires solid ammunition, tactical nuclear missiles and other junk that are basically of no use in interstellar wars.
Although there are high-end items like mechas, there are at least a dozen knight mechas, but they are just useless in front of Shuo You.
Often, before they could even fire at full power, they would be eroded by the scorching oil that poured down from outer space.
Eventually both the mech itself and the pilot inside it will become part of the New Phyrexian army.
In contrast, ordinary people were not completely transformed. As long as they laid down their weapons, they could immediately obtain corresponding life safety guarantees.
After all, the Skull Taker, who is also the Demon Judge, knows very well that these mortals are the lambs in the master's soul pasture. Unless it is necessary, it is best to ensure their survival as much as possible.
In this way, these guys can reproduce quickly and give birth to more lambs.
Kill the upper ruling class and give power to the oppressed and exploited lower classes. This is the strategy that Zuo Si implemented in this universe.
Because in his opinion, only when a large amount of long-suppressed negative emotions are released to a certain extent can rationality return, and the increasingly powerful evil gods of the subspace can be weakened and restricted.
An environment without survival pressure, without hierarchy and with absolute fairness is undoubtedly the best choice.
Although the essence of this is to keep humans in captivity, harvest souls, and use the creations of New Phyrexia as managers, it is still countless times stronger than the corrupt human empire.
At this moment, Moscat was standing in a luxurious palace that originally belonged to a planetary governor at the top of a nest city. He looked down at the dignitaries who were being dragged out of their homes one by one and struggling and wailing. He raised his glass and took a sip of the dark red drink that looked like blood. He completely ignored the naked noble ladies and girls behind him who had been tortured to death. He sighed in a voice that only he could hear: "This feeling of being able to easily control the life and death of people of the same status as me is really wonderful! Looking at those familiar faces full of fear and despair, I will get a great satisfaction that is difficult to describe in words. It's addictive! The great Lord Soth is right. Evil and cruel are indeed my nature."
There is no doubt that the reason why this guy appeared here was, on the one hand, to show his loyalty and completely cut off all retreat routes, and on the other hand, to satisfy his own twisted desires and to collect wealth to raise the necessary funds for activities in other remote star regions of the empire.
Because the human empire is so huge and the connections between various star regions are not very frequent, it is difficult to describe the economy and trade.
To be precise, there is not even a unified currency.
Many star regions and even planets will issue their own currencies.
As for the empire's taxation, it has never been a collection of useless general equivalents such as "money", but a direct collection of various resources and physical objects including manpower.
Trade across universes is mostly in the form of barter.
There are only two types of currencies that have the property of wide circulation. One is the "Throne Coin" minted during the Great Crusade ten thousand years ago, but due to its scarce supply, it is only used by great nobles and gang leaders when doing large-scale trade.
The other is the “Eleven Beads” certified by the national religion.
Other currencies such as "credit coins", "paper money" and "Aguilas coins" are used in a certain star region or planet. Generally speaking, they will immediately become worthless garbage once they leave their economic scope.
Many times, Rogue Traders would rather buy a ship full of slaves, minerals, and low-end industrial products when leaving a planet than carry a pile of waste paper and credit points.
Of course, there is another saying that the Astra Militarum composed of mortals is equivalent to the copper coins in the hands of the God-Emperor, the Astartes warriors are silver coins, and the Custodes are the most valuable gold coins, and those Primarchs who are called the Emperor's heirs are equivalent to checks.
Their lives are the most valuable currency in the empire.
However, these words must not be heard by the people of the Inquisition, otherwise the consequences may not be good.
Moscat was well aware that the currencies issued on the planets in the Botas sector had no value at all within the empire, so he specifically asked the New Phyrexian Creations to collect "Throne Coins" and "Eleven Pearls", as well as large and small spaceships, tanks and other individual weapons, as well as various simply processed foods that were most abundant in this area.
Of course, the most important thing are the psychiatric drugs provided by Zuo Si.
If there is any aspect of technology in the cyberpunk city on the ninth level of Baator that is far ahead of the entire universe, it is undoubtedly the super-giant monopoly pharmaceutical company led by the succubus queen Mecanthust.
Thanks to the day and night research of a large number of succubi, alchemists, and wizards, various addictive drugs that can satisfy mortals' desires and even spiritual needs have been iterated countless times.
Like soma mentioned in the book Brave New World, which has no side effects, not only is there an almost identical product, but it is also more effective and lasts longer. It does not require any magic in the production process and is a completely cheap chemical industrial product.
Although in the magical world, this kind of pure chemical bliss is nothing at all, and it can't even satisfy some guys who are already seriously addicted to drugs.
But for the civilians of this universe, it is definitely an irresistible placebo.
Moreover, given the style of the corrupt bureaucratic system of the Human Empire, not only will they not prevent the spread of this drug, but they will encourage the lower-class people to take it in large quantities, which can not only reduce the risk of rebellion, but also reduce people's extreme negative emotions and weaken the Chaos Evil God of the Warp.
In addition, there are stimulants, berserker drugs, superhuman drugs and other things specially provided to the military that can enhance combat capabilities by overdrawing the body or even life in a short period of time.
After all, an army like the Astra Militarum, which is composed of mortals, is essentially a group of consumables.
If the overall casualties can be reduced by sacrificing a part of the population through taking drugs, or if the enemy's strength can be drastically consumed in a defensive battle, the top leaders will definitely choose large-scale use without hesitation.
As for the serious side effects of overdose of drugs, they are nothing in this cruel universe where human lives are like ants.
Anyway, when the time comes to take medicine, the probability of an ordinary soldier surviving will not exceed one in ten.
Rather than dying in vain, it is better to give it a try, even if it means inflicting some casualties on the enemy before dying.
Moscat believed that as long as he appeared in any corner of the empire with these things, he would quickly become the guest of honor of the local dignitaries and even establish a close cooperative relationship with them.
At that time, he will be able to use this relationship to continuously corrupt the other party until he completely transforms him into a devil.
Thinking of this, the planetary governor took out the devil's egg hanging around his neck, looked at the eye flashing with a terrifying blood-red light, grinned with a bloodthirsty and cruel smile, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and ordered without looking back: "Send me a few more young women of noble birth. I want to enjoy this wonderful feeling before returning to the empire."
"Please wait a moment!"
A New Phyrexian creation instantly made contact with its fellow creatures who were undergoing a purge outside through the information transmission device on its body.
After a while, another group of beautiful women with terrified faces were forcibly brought into the room.
When they saw the naked female corpses lying on the beds, they immediately realized what was waiting for them, and the women screamed shrilly and wanted to escape.
毕竟类似这样的行为，她们也曾经对底层的平民、农奴和奴隶干过，偶尔还会聚在一起玩些狩猎人类的游戏取乐，因此一点都不陌生。
当莫斯卡特举起手里的枪残忍射杀其中几个带头的之后，在场这些平日里作威作福惯了的贵族夫人和小姐们立马像狗一样跪下来竭尽所能的讨好他，渴望利用自己年轻的身体作为筹码换取一个活下来的机会。
不过很可惜，这群女人显然忘记了在她们参加的某些娱乐活动中，可是从来没有给那些作为玩具的奴隶半点活下来的机会。
当莫斯卡特玩腻了之后，很快便一个接一个的用各种各样残忍的方式将其杀死，甚至还把尸体肢解制作成了一个个令人毛骨悚然的艺术品。
毫无疑问，如果要对他的行为在亚空间邪神中进行归类的话，妥妥属于色孽的范畴。
可莫斯卡特现在一点也不担心亚空间邪神会注意到自己。
因为魔鬼之卵已经与他的灵魂深度绑定，所有这些邪恶的行为最终都会转化成为力量存储起来，直至被激活之后彻底抛弃人类的身份变成真正的魔鬼。
在内心之中，他甚至还给自己准备了一个绰号，就叫做“帝国掘墓人”。
就在围绕着博塔斯星区的大清洗不断进行时，对于各个星球上的改造也同样在继续。
海量的烁油通过战舰被泼洒到每一个角落。
很快那些脏乱差的巢都城市就迅速被拆解重塑，从原本阴暗且绝望的钢铁丛林变成明亮充满希望的乌托邦世界。
许多一辈子都居住在下层和底层、压根没有见识过天空是什么颜色的奴隶终于第一次走出自己生活的阴暗环境，来到街道上瞪大眼睛看着种满绿色植物的花园，享受着那些以前只有上等人才能吃到的美味食物，行走在错落有致的旋梯中间。
无数在高强度工作压力和生存压力下变得麻木绝望的人甚至跪在地上嚎啕大哭，像疯了一样发泄着内心之中积压的不满、愤怒和委屈。
尽管他们亲眼目睹了自己星球的上层统治者被这些不知道应该叫做什么东西的怪物所赶尽杀绝，但却一点也不恨对方，更不觉得应该像国教教典中教导的那样要奋起反抗保卫人类和帝国，反而十分的感谢对方。
因为无论这些外来者究竟抱着怎么样的目的，至少对方允许自己可以像个真正的人那样活着，而不是帝国这台庞大机器上微不足道的一个可替换齿轮。
短暂的情绪宣泄过后，平民很快通过服用能缓解和释放压力获得精神愉悦的药物逐渐平静下来，并且接受了新非瑞克西亚造物成为统治者的事实。
确切地说，他们没过多久便发现让这些非人的家伙来统治反而要比人类自己统治强太多。
不仅能够做到绝对的公平，同时也不会做出什么贪污、以权谋私、把底层人当成工具和玩物这样的恶劣情况。
最重要的是所有人都不需要再去从事那些繁重的工作，也不需要担心喝醉酒后说错了什么不敢说的话，第二天被审判庭找上门来打上异端的标签。
渐渐地，博塔斯星区的居民开始唾弃腐朽的人类帝国，唾弃那个端坐在黄金王座上的人类之主。
因为在他们看来，自己之前所遭受的一切苦难都是由帝国和皇帝带来的。
毕竟人这种生物大多数时候都是利益主义者，根本不可能理解和认同上层统治者做出牺牲一小部分人的利益去拯救更多人的决策。
尤其当自身成为被牺牲掉那一部分的时候，会有怨恨乃至强烈的反抗情绪再正常不过了。
所以永远不要指望有利益冲突的人能够相互理解。
更不要妄图说服一个人为了所谓更多人的幸福而放弃原本属于他的利益。
这除了会招致敌意和怨恨之外根本不会有任何效果。
更何况这一系列变化背后还有左思在操纵。
海量压根没有接受过什么像样教育的底层民众，在他这位擅长社会心理学的大魔鬼面前完全没有一丁点抵挡之力，迅速便大片大片的沦陷成为坚定的信徒兼反帝国主义者。
这也是为什么一定要清洗整个统治阶级的原因之一。
左思非常清楚在精英全部消失的情况下，所谓的“民意”究竟有多么容易操纵。
而这些凡人的信仰将会成为烁油化身在这个世界力量的源泉之一，同时也是进入亚空间与混沌邪神还有那位人类皇帝较量的筹码。
……
与此同时，远在奥特拉玛五百世界的区域，巫妖王吉安娜与纳垢军团之间的战争已然随着天灾军团的不断壮大而进入到白热化的程度。
凭借着打完就撤、从不在一个地方过多停留和占领行星的战术，吉安娜成功在敌人建立的庞大亚空间黑暗网络中来去如风，从未被恶魔原体——莫塔里安所率领的主力抓到过。
反倒是与纳垢先锋泰法斯所率领的死亡守卫军团第一连队进行了短暂的交手。
至于结果嘛，不用问也知道是这个老不死的家伙被吉安娜按在地上爆锤。
要不是有纳垢邪神的力量加持无论受到怎样的伤势都会瞬间痊愈，这会儿估计已经被霜之哀伤转化成一名亡灵生物了。
毕竟泰法斯在还是人类的时候，就连阿斯塔特改造都没有接受完整，其个人战斗力根本无法与原体和大魔相提并论。
更要命的是，莫塔里安利用上古神器——黑暗之手创造出来用于散播瘟疫的亚空间装置，居然被吉安娜发现并加以改造、利用。
这直接导致了他利用该装置影响整个奥特拉玛区域亚空间灵能圈，以此来腐化各个星球上居民精神并且制造更多瘟疫大军的计划彻底破产。
不仅如此！
那些由人类转化而来的行尸还被蕴含着死亡之力的天灾瘟疫吞噬，彻底从己方的兵员变成了对方的兵员。
这无疑就像一记响亮的巴掌狠狠打在恶魔原体的脸上。
随着瘟疫的扩张效率不断减弱，纳垢军团对奥特拉玛的威胁也在呈指数级下降。
照这个样子发展下去，别说什么把好兄弟罗伯特·基里曼给引过来，搞不好还要在慈父纳垢面前丢人现眼。
事情发展到这一步，无论莫塔里安是否愿意都必须要尽快解决掉吉安娜这个心腹大患。
为此，他不仅利用其中一颗彻底被占领腐化、就连规则都已经亚空间化的星球作为诱饵，同时还召唤了海量的恶魔作为援军，打算在这里与新崛起的天灾军团一决胜负， 眼下，这位死亡守卫军团的基因原体正端坐于星球表面用腐烂尸体堆砌起来的血肉王座上，仰起头凝视着头顶璀璨夺目的星空。
为了能让巫妖王吉安娜上钩，他特地命令所有的舰队都躲进了亚空间之中，打算效仿战帅荷鲁斯当年在大叛乱时期所使用过的战术，先诱敌深入再包抄合围，彻底消灭这群胆敢挑衅纳垢的未知势力。
莫塔里安坚信，之前的那些失利只不过是由于手下太过于废物，尤其是整天只会耍阴谋诡计的养父——泰法斯。
只要自己亲自出手，一切都会好起来的。
正当他开动自己那颗超级大脑想要预判天灾军团的动向时，一抹刺眼的白光突然凭空出现在整个星球的上空。
亚空间能量波动！ 恶魔原体几乎在第一时间就察觉到了异常。
可还没等到他来得及向手下发布命令，大量包裹着魔法坚冰的舰队便一股脑从亚空间中跳出，连一秒钟都没有等待，直接便向行星轨道上布置的那些防御武器发起了猛攻。
尤其是那艘被俘虏的荣光女王级战列舰，几乎在一刹那就投下了足以让人感到绝望的火力覆盖。
超过一万枚热核弹头如同雨点般从外太空进入到近地轨道，直接在轨道防御武器中间种下了壮观无比的蘑菇群。
恐怖的爆炸甚至直接撕裂大气层，让来自恒星的致命辐射直接照射在地面上。
许多行尸根本无法承受这样的辐射，纷纷倒在地上并散发出刺鼻的焦糊味。
不过这还仅仅只是开始！ 就在遭到猛烈打击的行星轨道武器开始反击的刹那，其中一艘战舰上突然放出了成千上万个包裹在冰块里的亡灵生物。
他们就像之前进行空降那样，直接砸在这些行星轨道武器上大肆破坏，让那些刚刚撑起来的虚空护盾根本没能发挥任何作用。
众所周知，虚空盾的作用是抵挡高速投射和能量武器有着极好的效果，但对于低速物体防护效果非常差。
After obtaining the Void Shield technology, Jaina figured out the secret of it as soon as possible, so she could easily develop targeted tactics.
After all, one of the biggest advantages of the Undead Scourge is that they can survive and maintain combat effectiveness in the cold space without carrying any protective equipment.
Therefore, the orbital protection system, which is the most difficult to break through for other forces, is not difficult at all for her.
Watching the large void shields that were still in operation explode one after another, Lich King Jaina raised her chin slightly with a proud expression, and commented with a contemptuous tone: "If the demigod of this universe - the Primarch is only this level, it is a bit too disappointing. I originally thought there would be a fair fight."
"Great Lich King, please do not take it lightly. Mortarion has a powerful fleet under his command, but now this fleet has not organized a defense near this planet. I always feel that something is not right."
“Didn’t you say that there was a deep conflict between Mortarion and his adopted father Typhas?
Maybe Taifas was unwilling to help and deliberately transferred the fleet to other places?
What's more, even if that loser Taifas comes, what can he do? He is just a defeated opponent of mine.
For now, let us focus on dealing with this daemon primarch of Nurgle.
You know, my master has always wanted to study these interesting life forms in order to find out what the human emperor is."
After saying that, Jaina winked at another lich beside her.
The latter understood what he meant and immediately issued an airborne order to the Scourge Legion, which had been on high alert.
In a flash, white spots of light that kept shining like stars could be seen in outer space of the entire planet, refracting light.
It was nothing else but an army of tens of billions, hundreds of billions of undead souls wrapped in magical ice.
It is precisely because of this unstoppable scale and range of terrifying airborne attacks that the Lich King Jaina was able to sweep through one planet after another occupied by the Legion of Nurgle with invincibility, and continued to grow like a snowball.
Looking at the undead army descending from the sky on the ground, even Mortarion, who always claimed to be the "Lord of Death", could not help but show a look of horror.
Because at this moment he could clearly feel that the power of death possessed by the other party was colder, stronger, and purer than his own, without a trace of impurities.
Just as the Daemon Primarch was in a brief state of shock, the adjutant next to him immediately yelled at all the Nurgle Legion members at the top of his voice: "Activate the air defense system! Fire! Fire quickly! Do not let the enemy break into this fortress! Otherwise, we will not be able to hold on until the fleet returns!"
"All anti-aircraft weapons open fire!"
"Tear these men to pieces who dare to offend the great Father Nurgle!"
"Release all the flies!"
…
Suddenly, the planet, which had been completely overrun by daemons, zombies, Chaos Astartes, and various other disgusting creations of Nurgle, finally began to fight back.
The first thing to show its power was the overwhelming and dense anti-aircraft firepower network.
Countless missiles and energy beams completely covered the sky in just over ten minutes, and the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns roared without stopping for a moment.
Many undead in the ice were blown to pieces in mid-air by these attacks before they even landed on the ground.
The huge swarms of flies used their flesh and blood to block more than 50% of the bombardment from the planetary orbit.
Never underestimate these humble Nurgle flies!
They are veritable subspace creatures. When their numbers reach a certain level, they can even use subspace energy to distort the rules of the universe, thereby rendering some long-range attacks ineffective.
This is why a large number of melee weapons are still equipped in this world.
Both the void shield and the subspace force can effectively block long-range firepower. At this time, close combat becomes the only option.
There is no doubt that the Nurgle Legion on this planet is the most tenacious enemy the Undead Scourge has ever encountered.
The number of undead creatures destroyed within half an hour through the anti-aircraft firepower network alone reached a terrifying number of one billion.
Unfortunately, no matter how fierce the anti-aircraft firepower is, it is impossible to stop Jaina from directly dropping troops from outer space in a spaceship.
Many undead creatures that successfully landed from the periphery of the fire network quickly organized themselves, began to spread the plague of the Scourge, and continuously killed and transformed those Nurgle creations.
By the time the Chaos Astartes of the Death Guard Legion arrived to eliminate these threats, portals had already opened out of nowhere.
The Scourge army rushed out from the other side like a tide, raising their guns and firing wildly. The dense barrage of bullets even tore apart the power armor of the Chaos Astartes.
Even those bodies blessed by Nurgle with almost infinite recovery power could not withstand such fierce firepower, and rotten flesh and pus splattered everywhere.
Although in terms of technological level, there is still a huge gap between the Undead Scourge and the Necrons of this universe.
But to some extent, they caused the enemy no less shock than the latter.
After all, the Necrons can't grow like a snowball in such a short period of time.
You should know that during this period, the Lich King Jaina attacked not only the Nurgle Legion, but also some planets occupied by the Orks and outposts established by the Tyranids.
So in the eyes of outsiders, the Scourge is a complete hodgepodge, with almost all races to be seen.
But the problem is that these races are not living people, but zombies that have been dead for a long time and exude a cold breath. They are even more creepy than the zombies resurrected by Nurgle.
The so-called zombies, strictly speaking, are corpses controlled by microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Strictly speaking, they cannot be classified as undead, but should be classified as "zombies" that often appear in biochemical disasters.
The undead are authentic undead creatures, whose essence is driven by the power of soul and magic.
"Is this the enemy we have been looking for? A group of cold corpses without any emotion?"
Mortarion stared at the Scourge that kept charging and tearing through the defenses, his mind filled with a strong sense of unreality.
He couldn't believe that there were beings in this universe closer to death than Nurgle and himself.
"I'm afraid so!" A high-ranking demon in the Warp whispered in the Primarch's ear. "The Great Father has noticed this threat. What you have to do now is to eliminate it."
Just as Mortarion wanted to ask more about the inside story, Jaina finally walked out of the portal with several of her most powerful subordinates.
Without saying a word, she quickly raised her hand and released an incredibly powerful frost spell at the Death Guard Legion that was stubbornly resisting in front of her.
In a flash!
The blizzard swept across the sky and swept everything within a radius of several kilometers.
No matter whether it was the power mecha or the swarms of Nurgle flies in the sky, they were instantly frozen by the horrifying ultra-low temperature.
The latter happened in the later period. Pieces of corpses fell from the sky and shattered into pieces, forming a beautiful yet terrifying mountain of corpses on the ground.
"Mortarion!!! Are you planning to stay in there forever like a coward? Or are you too scared to come out and face me?"
The Lich King Jaina taunted wantonly while using magic to efficiently slaughter the Nurgle army in front of her.
Under the blessing of her terrifying frost magic, the temperature of the surrounding environment dropped rapidly and soon reached over minus 100 degrees Celsius.
In such an ultra-low temperature environment, even the subspace demons and the zombies controlled by microorganisms inevitably fell into a state of slow movement.
But the undead will not be affected at all, instead they can still exert 100% of their strength.
Watching his Death Guard Legion being defeated one after another, the Demon Primarch could no longer sit still, and finally rushed out with his personal guards known as the "Curtain of Death", waving the huge sickle in his hand and slashing at Jaina fiercely.
Since the Primarch himself was exceptionally tall and strong, he looked like a giant with immense strength.
Jaina, who is only of normal human height, looks like a short halfling or dwarf.
"You arrogant blasphemer! Today is the day you die!"
Mortarion roared with rage.
Ding! With the crisp sound of metal colliding and white frost flying everywhere, the two finally came to blows.
Although Jaina was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of strength, the divine power of Talona bestowed by Zuo Si and the power of death of the Lich King successfully allowed her to withstand the terrifying force unleashed by the opponent's attack.
Immediately afterwards, Jaina unleashed a howling blast that directly knocked the opponent away. The strong airflow made her white hair flutter in the wind. She sneered and responded, "Humph! You want to kill me? You have to be able to do it! With your understanding of death, it's simply a pipe dream to want to defeat me. Or you don't understand what true death is at all!"
"Who are you? Why are you able to cause such a strong subspace fluctuation?"
Mortarion's pupils suddenly dilated, and his horrified eyes revealed a deep fear.
As the Daemon Primarch, at this face-to-face distance he could clearly feel the terrifying, cold shadow hidden in the thick black fog in the surrounding Warp.
It is well known that a creature's projection in the warp is a manifestation of its spirit and will.
For most psykers, at best they can only form a tiny flame in the warp space.
Those powerful psychics can only be regarded as candles or light bulbs at best.
Only a monster like the Emperor of Mankind who can compete with the Chaos God can form a huge physical projection in the subspace.
Therefore, any existence that can form a unique projection in the subspace basically has the potential to become a god, and even demons dare not approach easily.
After all, the psychic power of the Emperor of Mankind shines as brightly in the Warp as a torch that illuminates the dark galaxy.
But when have you ever heard of a demon daring to spy into his soul?
Not to mention peeking into the soul, anyone who dares to get close might be burned to ashes alive.
The same can be said of Malcador, the Sigil of the Empire, who may be the Emperor's only friend and companion.
As the second most powerful psychic in the human race after the Emperor, he has never been harassed by demons.
Therefore, all the demons in the subspace are a group of bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. They will only target those psychics who have no one to protect them.
"You can call me Jaina Proudmoore, or you can call me the Lich King. Now, let us continue this battle that will determine our fate. Let me see how capable you are as a Primarch and whether you deserve the title of demigod."
After saying that, Jaina wielded Frostmourne and launched a fierce attack.
Upon seeing this, a Death Veil guard immediately wanted to rush over to help his Primarch father.
Unfortunately, before he could get close, he immediately felt a biting cold enveloping him.
The next second...
A bone-chillingly powerful frost spell appeared out of nowhere, freezing him and the other two guards around him in place.
The one who took action was a psychic who was transformed into a lich.
He warned in a low and hoarse voice: "Do not attempt to disturb the Lich King's battle. Your opponent is me."
"Go! Kill it!"
The Death Veil Guards suddenly released the blessing of Nurgle in their bodies, and in just one or two seconds, hot and pungent green juice spurted out, melting the frozen parts of their bodies. Then they raised the grenade launcher in their hands and pulled the trigger without letting go.
Bullets containing deadly plague were fired crazily as if they were free.
You should know that the Astartes Legion under Nurgle, whether in close combat or ranged combat, can inject the germs they carry into bullets.
Once hit, you can get infected and become sick in minutes.
But unfortunately, these things are of no use to the lich at all.
Even the bullets were blocked by the warp deflection field, and occasionally one or two of them penetrated the protection and at most caused minor skin injuries to the lich.
"You really don't know how to live or die..."
The lich was obviously enraged. First, he used a frost nova to completely freeze the enemy in place, and then he began to chant a spell to release the famous "Death and Withering".
moment!
The terrifying subspace energy gushed out from underground crazily, quickly forming a black and purple area that was indistinguishable to the naked eye.
Several Death Curtain guards and demons who rushed up to help instantly felt the life energy in their bodies rapidly draining away.
Not even the blessing of Nurgle can stop this process.
"Damn it! What's going on?"
"It's the energy under our feet! Get out of this area!"
"No! My feet are frozen! I can't move at all!"
"I'll help you!"
As the last word came out of his mouth, a Death Guard rushed over from behind, swung the power axe in his hand and chopped down fiercely.
Poof! Along with blood and yellowish sticky liquid spurting out from the broken pustules, one of the Death Curtain's guards' legs was chopped off.
The other two people dragged him and ran out of the range of Death and Withering.
Unfortunately, before they could take two steps, the Death Knight beside the Lich cast Death Grip, directly grabbed these Chaos Astartes back, and put "Ice Chains" on them without saying a word.
The biting cold directly penetrated the power mecha's survival support system, making it impossible for the enemy to move their legs. Just like that, within the influence range of Death and Withering, all their vitality was drained away, and they turned into several cold corpses falling to the ground.
Facts have proved that a pure warrior profession, even with powerful long-range weapons, is still as fragile as a newborn baby in front of a spellcaster.
On the other side, Jaina also exerted all her strength as the strongest Lich King. She cast frost spells to restrict and slow down Mortarion's movements, and then she used superb swordsmanship to fly up and down, forcing the demon primarch to struggle to parry.
At this moment, his tall and strong body not only did not bring any help, but instead became a burden.
After a short while, one of the huge wings behind him was chopped off, and half of his body was condensed into a large piece of white frost under the attack of the frost spell.
Most importantly, all of Mortarion's plagues and poisons were completely useless against the already dead Lich King.
Moreover, the life force bestowed by Nurgle was greatly restrained.
Especially the soul-tearing pain after being slashed by the rune sword, which made him, who was usually calm and composed, start to go crazy...
