Chapter 997, Breach of Trust
Qi Bodu hated Gu Hang.
He still remembered that Gu Hang had promised him to prolong his life. This deal between them was what he cared about most during the period when his life was about to end.
He tried every possible way and used every possible means to send a message to the easternmost part of the empire, asking Gu Hang to come and perform the promised improved life-extending surgery on him.
However, he never received a response.
Is it because of the star language isolation after the scarlet scar appeared?
Yes, that's definitely part of it.
Ordinary and common means of communication are indeed unusable in the context of a major disaster.
However, he is the Prime Minister of the Empire. What he can use is more than just the so-called "normal" means.
Across the scarlet scar, on the other side of the empire, there are many worlds they are connected to.
Although the contact was unstable and the calls were intermittent, at least we were able to connect.
But it just happened to be the alliance, and we couldn't get in touch with them.
You, Gu Hang, are a man of extraordinary abilities, so why can't I be contacted at this time?
During those days, Qi Bodu calmly and rationally realized that Gu Hang was deliberately not responding to messages. After all, with the Scarlet Scar separating them and the impact of the Cataclysm, Holy Terra's influence was unprecedentedly limited to its own territory. It couldn't even guarantee control over the Holy Territory, let alone the Eastern Territory, which was separated by a chasm.
On the other hand, his lucky mentality made him hope until his death that the message was just not connected, and Gu Hang was still trying to find a way to contact Holy Terra, and would eventually fulfill his promise and come to perform a life-extending surgery on him.
What else can we do?
Would he really be able to face his impending and inevitable death calmly, and then properly handle his affairs one by one, and transfer power, so that the political structure of the empire would remain stable after his death?
Stop kidding.
After I die, I won’t care about the raging waves!
And in the end, his loving father gave him redemption.
But his hatred for Gu Hang not only did not decrease at all, but became even stronger.
"It's you...it's you who pushed me to this point."
"And now, it's you again who's trying to stop me from becoming the true master of the empire..."
"You won't succeed! I am the ultimate winner!"
With this belief, he sat on his rotten throne, and when the Alliance army arrived, he summoned one plague cannon after another, destroying one Titan after another.
He also called upon the evil magic of the Warp, attempting to infect the bodies of all Alliance members with the poisonous mist. However, this effort had little effect. An additional divine power continuously purified all Alliance soldiers.
Qi Bodu knew where this power came from, and he became even angrier because of it.
In addition, he also tore open many subspace cracks, allowing more demons to swarm into the real universe.
However, there are no more great unclean ones among them.
The Great Demon wasn't just any random person. Seventy-seven of them were already the limit. Trying to get more in now was impossible.
However, these mid- and low-level demons who had just arrived at the battlefield had minimal impact on the situation on the battlefield.
And he saw the arrival of Robert and the Royal Guards.
That made him a little worried.
Although the enemy Titans were being whittled down quickly, their own demons were also falling one after another. Most importantly, the enemy Titans that posed a particularly great threat were still alive.
Not only are they still alive, but there are also two more people, Robert and Yan Xinzhen.
If he continues to fight at this rate, he can't say that he is sure to win.
As long as he couldn't win for sure, Qi Bodu would feel uneasy and want to do something.
Take part in this battle in person?
No, no, no, Qi Bodu would not do that.
He was the focal point of this war; if anything happened to him, the entire battlefield would collapse. His loving father had invested countless blessings in him, and it was precisely this power, long imbued within him, that supported the entire region's semi-warp transformation, allowing so many great demons to coexist simultaneously.
If he died, the semi-subspace process would end, and the remaining demons would dissipate in a very short time due to the loss of support.
Although his current body possesses more powerful strength than the average demon, it is by no means invincible.
He was unwilling to put himself in danger.
This is the eternal life he has worked so hard to obtain, and there cannot be any mistakes.
Besides this, what else can he do?
some.
He is tearing the veil of reality to a greater extent.
Although there were no more great demons in the Warp on the other side for him to summon, it was still meaningful to push this area of reality further into the Warp, especially to bring it closer to the environment of Nurgle's kingdom. Even if those humans were immune to Nurgle's toxins due to the blessing of the deceiver and the faithless one, these demons on his side, especially the Great Unclean Ones, would be further strengthened.
This is also a bargaining chip to increase your own winning rate.
On the field, one lower-level demon after another was sacrificed and turned into a pool of mud amidst roars of terror.
The power in their bodies was extracted and merged into the body of the great demon along with the yellow-green air as pure evil magic.
Anyway, these lower-level demons weren't much help on the battlefield. Throughout the battle, they only managed to crush and explode a handful of Titans. They could only fight futilely against the ordinary human troops, unable to even reach the Titans' feet.
Since it is useless, it is better to donate it and make the devil even more powerful.
Qi Bodu's move brought significant changes to the battlefield. The increasingly powerful demons made the humans uncomfortable. Their sudden attacks left several human masters, who had thought they had opportunities, suffering heavy blows instead.
Several chapter champions were killed in quick succession. Even Raymond Weiss, the Saints' Chapter Master and a Chosen Champion, was struck down in a single blow. A lightning shield surged through his body, but it couldn't fully protect him from the blow. The massive scythe blew him away, and he lay on the ground, his life or death unknown.
Several blessed sons of the saints came over desperately and protected the body of the chapter leader, but they were unable to drag him to a safe area - on this battlefield, there was no place to be safe!
But at this moment, Gu Jing, who thought he had seized the opportunity, suddenly took action.
Beside him, lightning flashed, and with the light transmitted by one hand, forty 'Space Marines' dressed in silver and blue, with phoenix-wing blue crowns on their heads, appeared beside him.
