Endurance, Think Tank Library.
Now.

"So, that's it."
Fernando looked at Hades and told him the story of the past.
Hades fell silent.
In his memory, the Four Gods began to intensify their erosion of the physical universe only after the incident in Perfect City.
But it was obvious that Fernando and his crew had encountered the Great Unclean One of Nurgle.
This was even earlier than when the Dusk Raiders encountered their Primarch!
And what the great unclean one said
Meeting Fernando and his group proves that their plan is correct.
Could they be a decoy?!
A seed of corruption buried in the Legion, a fuse that leads the entire Legion to depravity.
However, the last words that the devil said were,
"Except him."
Who is "he" who cannot accept Nurgle's curse
It can't be Mortarion, could it be...
Although Hades does not claim to be arrogant, at this moment, it seems that there is only one answer -
That is, Hades himself!
A Great Unclean One of Nurgle had already started to ambush Hades before he joined the Death Guard? !
Hades felt a chill. Could it be that because he tried to change Mortarion's fate of rebelling and ascending to demonhood in the future, Nurgle sent a Great Unclean One to destroy him
Is he really that important, or is he over-interpreting it
But, apart from this, Hades really can't think of a better explanation at the moment.
No, he could find a way to verify it.
Hades looked at Fernando again.
"Did your comrade-in-arms at that time die in the end?"
Fernando shuddered and fell silent again. After a long while, he slowly spoke,
"I couldn't kill him."
But Jose may be dead.
"So, I hope to ask you for help."
Out of Fernando's selfishness, he temporarily concealed the results of the divination.
Hades' card position [now] is currently [Titan reversed], which means that his plans have been disrupted.
But Fernando’s card position is [Titan upright], which means that as long as he takes the initiative, he can win.
He couldn't hold on any longer, so he had to resort to this last resort.
Hades, holding a scythe, wearing a MK3 power armor with an enhanced respiratory system, and an incendiary gun on his waist, stood behind the fully armed Fernando.
Just now, Fernando briefly explained the current situation, and Hades immediately decided to go back and get the sickle.
At the same time, he asked Fernando to inform Barasin to block a ship area centered on the think tank library and secretly evacuate all the staff, servitors, or in other words, all living things here.
Fernando may not have fully understood the power of Nurgle, but Hades knew that no carelessness was allowed.
Fernando has been keeping a plague carrier of Nurgle in the think tank library. Nothing has happened so far, thanks to the Emperor.
Perhaps the chief think tank believed that his psychic imprisonment was effective, and Hades hoped so, but he still liked to think of things as the worst possible, in order to take insurance in advance.
It's possible. The devil stayed on this ship on purpose, not exposing himself, just waiting for an opportunity.
Waiting for an opportunity to complete the devil's "plan".
No one except Fernando knew exactly what was hidden in the think tank's library.
Hades clenched the scythe in his hand, the heavy feeling made him feel at ease.
Fernando's request to him was simple: to help him kill that "Jose" and resolve the inner demons of this chief think tank.
Through Fernando's description of that "Jose", Hades was convinced that the only ones capable of fighting it at present were Fernando, who had powerful psychic powers, and Hades, who could isolate the subspace.
For ordinary Space Marines, exposing themselves to such powerful psychic creatures would be tantamount to seeking death.
Or even worse, in the face of Nurgle's plague, they are like babies with zero resistance. They will be devoured by the plague and then corrupted.
Although the monster was imprisoned by Fernando's psychic power at the moment, it was still risky for the two of them to kill it at close range.
You can never be too cautious when facing a creature of the Warp.
He couldn't just walk away and pretend nothing happened.
Otherwise, he would give up the opportunity to go to Mars, or even to the battlefield, and stay in the think tank library to prevent the creature from escaping.
But he can defend for a while, can he defend for a lifetime
The corruption of the Warp is pervasive in the Legion.
As an outsider, Hades once again felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
What he wants to change is fate, so his opponent is the evil gods of the subspace, who can even transcend time and play with living beings.
How can he fight against the opponent? Just his untouchable physique
No, there is always a way.
At least now, he was going to slay a Blessed of Nurgle.
Hades became more deeply aware that he could not just follow the Legion's route, and could not just live his life according to his previous ideas. This was too passive.
But now, he has no other resources or channels, so he can only take things one step at a time.
As for Mortarion, Hades's preference was to inform him once this matter was over.
He didn't want Mortarion to come into direct contact with Nurgle's Blessed One now, because who knows what would happen.
Hades didn't want Nurgle to take Mortarion away with a plague -
Fernando looked back at Hades. Hades finished thinking, and he gestured for Fernando to start.
They stood in a secluded corner of the library, the darkness watching them silently.
A white light suddenly appeared, and distorted psychic energy flashed around Fernando.
The chief think tank chanted an ancient spell, and as the spell poured out, the bookshelf in front of the two slowly moved away—
Hades' eyes widened.
The entire space was densely engraved with golden runes, complicated formations were drawn on the ground, and the walls were hung with weapons bestowed upon the legion by the Emperor.
Countless pieces of paper covered with prayers were affixed to the thick chains, and the chains trembled slightly with the fluctuations of spiritual energy.
In the very center, a crude psychic cage was violently blasting white light continuously. Several iron chains extended from the four corners of the room, tightly binding the creature lying in the middle. The ends of the chains were colorful black after being burned by fire.
That creature that creature
Hades' mind buzzed. With memories from his past life, he was very familiar with this.
Even though the paint was still blurred by the leaching liquid, the Dusk Raider, even wearing MK2 armor,
This is the Plague Warrior!
There's a Plague Marine tied to the Death Guard's mothership!
The Emperor is above!
Countless thick, swollen, light pink-gray intestines were exposed from the ruptured abdomen of the power armor, wriggling and rising slightly. In the holes in them, maggots twisted along with yellow-black intestinal fluid.
Corpse fluid slowly flowed out from every joint of the power armor. It slid down along the curve of the armor and soaked the armor that had already turned smelly and green.
The most suffocating thing is that on the head of this Space Marine, the breathing hose and his mouth and tongue are fused together, with a thin and pointed pink tongue sticking out, and the black compound eyes similar to those of a spider are in the place of the eyes of the helmet.
Hades could imagine the scene of these eyes moving, but now, these eyes were like dusty glass, distorted and full of pain.
Flames were still burning on his body, but every time the flames burned a bit of flesh and blood, a bit of flesh would grow again on the plague warrior's body.
This warrior looks dead, but his body is still alive and his soul is still imprisoned in this body.
Even Hades, who had seen the Plague Warrior model in his previous life, was completely shocked at this moment.
As if aware of Hades' shock, Fernando spoke in a calm but painful voice.
"I've been burning him with a deflagration gun every night to prevent him from waking up."
In fact, in order to protect his comrades, Fernando slept next to the corpse every night, fully armored.
The room was filled with psychic restraints, comrades in arms in decay and pain, and corpses oozing with pus. Hades only then realized what kind of determination and tenacity the chief think tank in front of him had!
Hades took a deep breath, the pungent stench penetrating into his bones. He raised his sickle and signaled Fernando to remove the psychic cage.
However, the body moved.
