Chapter 623 Crystal Statue
There are countless terrifying things inhabiting the halls of the battleship Vengeful Spirit, and the Black Legion has known about them for a long time. It was precisely because Kayon knew this that he dared to actively lure the Parasitic Legion and the Black Templar to join the Legion flagship. He wanted to use the contents of the Soul of Vengeance to bury the enemy.
There are various bizarre mutations prevalent in the depths of this battleship. They continue for a long time without being known or controlled, and some even consume an entire generation. Lowly and humble mutant clans or beastman tribes may survive in these places, but the deepest deck often means excessive danger and hostility for ordinary mortals.
After all, the Glory Queen-class battleship is so big that it is no exaggeration to say that it is comparable to a city. Many areas in this battleship are not actually under the actual control of the Black Legion, but are occupied by other indescribable things. The crew of the Black Legion only controls the core operating area of the battleship, and no one cares about other areas at all. , the two sides formed a strange balance between the well and the river.
Squads and warbands have been assigned to carry out cleanup and exploration missions, but not all have been able to return safely. Those who were lucky enough to return mentioned that an ecosystem of mixed creatures and demons was flourishing in the deepest areas, with the air in that area turning into a poisonous miasma and the walls becoming undulating waves. Creeping caverns of flesh and blood, crystals sprouting from the surface of human bones.
This is what the Warhammer 40,000 universe is all about.
The battleship is indeed your battleship.
But what's in the battleship.
Not entirely at your beck and call.
The legionnaires of the Black Legion were fighting against Daravik's boarding force in such a hall passage, and at the same time they were also fighting against the hall passage itself. The wounded and fallen Space Marines on both sides were either devoured by the battleship itself, or devoured by daemons committed to the battleship's flexible frame.
Strange, mutated creatures that had lost all genetic purity centuries ago emerged from the ship's walls like ghosts, spraying squid-like, smoking black bile at the warring Space Marines. The air floats and expands like water, corroding the armor.
A large group of blind and lost species with no concept of sunlight rose up against the parasitic Legion Space Marines, who were forced to kill all the dehydrated and shriveled Husks because they blocked the way. These corpses, whose limbs were cut off and only part of the skin and flesh remained connected, fell to the ground and were still screaming and scratching at the iron boots of the Space Marines at their feet.
Although these mutant creatures are not powerful, they have a kind of supernatural tenacity and vitality, which makes the gang members never tire of it. However, the most difficult thing to deal with is not these ordinary mutant creatures in the bottom of the tank, but those that occupy the bodies of the mutant creatures and are attached to the battleship. Chaos demons in related structures.
These inanimate monsters have built their lairs in this suffocating darkness. The chaotic thoughts they emanate oppress the nerves of the Space Marines, filling their perceptions with foolish hunger and morbid despair. The mere concentration on fighting without being tainted by daemonic primal urges has left many a Space Marine with splitting headaches and sweat-soaked backs.
On the other side of the battlefield, on the port side of the Vengeful Spirit, Fu Qinghai was also passing through these "obstacles." But to him, after experiencing the triple spiritual plague baptism of Nurgle, the Father of Plagues, these mutated creatures and Chaos Demons hidden in the cabin of the Vengeful Soul were really nothing - he was really It's like swimming in a sea of maggot pits and excrement.
The torpedo that Fu Qinghai was on hit at an unfortunate location. As soon as he stepped into the passage, he was surrounded by mutated creatures and chaotic demons. However, compared with the difficulty of the Chaos Space Marines in action, these complex The soldiers and monsters cannot cause any interference or hindrance to him.
The elusive subspace creatures hiding in the walls are invisible to the spiritual vision goggles. Without waiting for them to suddenly appear and attack, Fu Qinghai raised his hand and grabbed the spirit body out from the wall. He held the screaming and struggling spirit body in his claws and put it in his mouth to chew.
Fu Qinghai walked around while eating, chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly cleared the area. Assimilation points cannot be obtained by killing these mutated creatures, chaos demons and subspace creatures - indicating that although they are within the Vengeful Soul, they do not belong to the Black Legion camp. But it can replenish the consumption of the ghost armor in previous battles to a certain extent.
Due to disordered modifications and psychic contamination, the passage structure of the Vengeful Spirit has become extremely complex, far exceeding that of the Eternal Crusade. Fu Qinghai could only move in one general direction. He firmly believed that even if Abaddon was not on the bridge, other key members of the Black Legion would definitely be there. As long as they reached the bridge, they could kill the core leadership of the Black Legion.
After killing many mutated creatures and walking through several corridors, Fu Qinghai finally encountered the first team of Chaos Space Marines under a towering dome decorated entirely with warm white jade. As soon as the two sides met, they started fighting without saying a word. Explosive bombs rained down on the outer shell of his armor, bursting into shrapnel. Fu Qinghai quickly slaughtered all the traitors.
However, it was not until the bomb hit his shoulder armor that it bounced to the top and a pile of fragments fell in front of him. He picked up the fragments and looked carefully. Fu Qinghai suddenly realized that the "white jade dome" above his head was actually made of It is made up of densely packed human teeth - it is unknown what kind of sacrilegious rituals and cruel torture the traitors held in this hall.
[You killed the Parasitic Legion Space Marines]
[Calculating assimilation point rewards...]
A series of cold prompts sounded.
The name of the enemy camp was somewhat beyond his expectation.
"The parasitic legion also joined the gang?"
Fu Qinghai opened the white suitcase and said to himself.
Silver-gray liquid liquid once again poured out from the box mouth, quickly outlining the appearance of a powered armor. Without Fu Qinghai's further instructions, the Blue Shell power armor immediately transformed into the apothecary form and squatted on one knee, piercing the bone drill and starting to collect the gene seeds from each Chaos Space Marine corpse one by one.
The gene seeds have been collected.
Fu Qinghai continued to move forward.
He met countless Chaos Space Marines, he slew the World Eaters and Alphas, he slew the Thousand Sons and the Death Guard, he slew the warriors of the Sons of Horus - by the throat until his fingers crushed him. The carapace sank into the throat and smashed his skull on the deck. He killed the Night Lords, the Emperor's Children, the Iron Warriors... all the Space Marines of the nine Traitor Legions turned into wailing souls under his claws.
Sometimes he was like a rampaging rhinoceros, charging into a narrow passage and slashing at anything that moved. Sometimes he is like a patiently lurking tarantula, using the sharp claws on his fingertips and the hooks of bat wings to cling to the cables and pipes of the ceiling and crawl quietly, and then descend from the sky into the enemy's formation.
One claw plunged into the mouth of a Space Marine wearing spiked armor, and with one pull, his entire lower jaw and visor were ripped off. He turned around and chopped another man into a club. When the traitor's chin was removed, The scream that came from his throat when his head was torn off was simply inhuman.
There are many terrifying legends circulating in the Vengeful Spirit, but Qingshan Khan is more terrifying than all the terrifying legends, enough to become a nightmare in this enchanted battleship.
[You killed the Black Legion Space Marines]
[Calculating assimilation point rewards...]
[You killed the Parasitic Legion Space Marines]
[Calculating assimilation point rewards...]
For Fu Qinghai, the biggest advantage of this gang-hopping operation is that there is no need to distinguish between friend and foe. All living creatures seen in the Soul of Vengeance can be killed without discrimination. The world of reincarnation will almost always give assimilation point rewards - at most, there will be no assimilation points. Rewards but no deductions will be made. There seems to be no one in this battleship who belongs to the Human Empire camp.
No one is innocent.
"Master, I have discovered something that needs to be reported."
The power suit behind him suddenly spoke.
"What discovery?"
Fu Qinghai stopped and panted, turning his head and asking. There were broken corpses piled up at his feet.
The Blue Shell Power Armor raised the medical needle on its arm, and a slightly dull voice came from the loudspeaker:
"A gene seed has just been harvested. According to the gene comparison and matching data of the Astartes Legion provided by Master Quinto, it is confirmed that this gene seed belongs to the Dark Angel Legion. I think there is something unusual about this sample, so it is necessary to inform you A report is made to remind you to pay attention, and the report is completed.”
The gene seed of the Dark Angel?
Why is there a dark angel here?
Fu Qinghai was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Then he reacted immediately:
"Fallen Angel!"
Abaddon's Black Legion includes not only Space Marines from the nine Traitor Legions, but also Traitors from the Loyal Space Marine Legions! The most famous traitor among the Loyal Legion is the little secret of the First Legion - the Fallen Angels. This discovery is not surprising. Fallen angels can be said to be everywhere, and they are behind all kinds of conspiracies. It is normal to choose to join the Black Legion.
Qingshan Khan still has some bottom line and integrity. He never collects the gene seeds of friendly Space Marines during battles. The Iron Buddha had previously fought side by side with the two Blood Angels sub-groups, the Flesh Tearers and the Bloodthirsters, and had not collected their gene seeds. Fu Qinghai did not touch the gene seeds of the Space Marines who died in the Black Templars battle.
But this situation cannot last long. As long as the Iron Buddha Chapter insists on obtaining gene seeds from traitors, sooner or later they will collect the gene seeds of the Loyal Space Marine Legion - because the traitors also have to use pure gene seeds to create New Space Marines. And in the next ten thousand years, loyal Space Marine chapters continued to rebel, bringing pure gene seeds to Chaos.
It is said that some of the Chaos warbands after the split of the Alpha Legion used the gene seeds of the White Scars and the Raven Guard, which was a legacy of the Horus Heresy. The most exaggerated one is the Iron Warriors. It is said that nearly one-third of the Space Marines in the Iron Warriors Legion use the gene seeds of their most hated enemy-the Imperial Fists. This is also caused by the Battle of Heart of Hydra. problem.
Fu Qinghai never thought there would be any problem with using the traitor legion's gene seeds. After Belisarius Caul launched the Ultramarine Army, many Primaris Space Marine companies or chapters were nominally sub-groups of the Ultramarines or the Imperial Fists, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they must have used the Traitor Legion. The genetic seeds grow differently.
"Put this gene seed away."
Fu Qinghai ordered the armor.
"Understood, Master."
Power Armor's stiff recovery.
The discovery of the Dark Angel's gene seed made Fu Qinghai slightly come back to his senses from the endless killings. Taking advantage of the opportunity to breathe, he also thought about what else might be inside the legendary battleship Spirit of Vengeance. It was discovered that Sanguinius died on the Vengeful Spirit. It is said that his body has been turned into a crystal statue that will appear randomly in various locations in the battleship. Kayon's psychic sword was made from fragments of Sanguinius' sword and statue.
But Fu Qinghai had been fighting for so long, traveling through a large area of the Vengeful Soul, and had never seen a single crystal statue, let alone the crystal statue of Sanguinius. He didn't want to deliberately search for it. Killing the future Chaos Warmaster Abaddon was his main task when joining a gang.
Fu Qinghai adjusted his breath for a moment and continued moving forward.
Go through the bilge area to the lower deck.
Here Fu Qinghai saw the mortal crew on the Vengeful Spirit - a mortal crew composed of mutants, beasts and cultists. Just like the mortal crew members of the Imperial Navy warships will always form a macrocannon family, a torpedo family, and an engine family, the same is true for the mortal crew members of the Chaos warships. It's just that they occupy a territory more in the form of tribes and clans, are darker and more barbaric, and are more predatory. The bad habits of the Chaos Space Marines seem to have infected them.
Fu Qinghai saw it with his own eyes. After a beastman with a sheep's head was knocked unconscious by the shock of artillery fire, similar people around him did not treat him. On the contrary, they all swarmed in and used various crude weapons to kill and dismember him. He, and then the strongest beastman, seized the position and power of this beastman, and began to continue to control the macro cannon to aim.
Fu Qinghai knew very well that beastmen, as a type of mutant, although they looked rough and primitive, were not born barbarians without discipline and conscience. In the early days of the Empire of Man, the Beastmen were even allowed to join the Imperial Guard as members of the demihuman auxiliary army, like the Ogryns and Ratlings.
However, with the outbreak of the Rebellion, many Beastmen who had been bullied and oppressed finally chose to join Horus's camp to fight against the Empire. After their defeat, they followed the Chaos Space Marine Legion and fled into the Eye of Terror, slowly multiplying and forming the current Chaos War. The main component of the gang's servant army.
Unlike how he treated the plundered mortal slaves, Fu Qinghai had nothing to say to these beastman crew members. He just went up and hacked them. These bloodthirsty and cruel Chaos accomplices saw the invaders and picked up their weapons to fight. However, how could the beastman holding an outdated laser gun and wearing tattered carapace be Fu Qinghai's opponent? He was quickly killed and fled in all directions crying for his father and mother.
Killing these crew members also earns assimilation points.
Based on the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still flesh.
Fu Qinghai chased a Beastman crewman into the messy shacks and pipes next to the giant macro cannon. Fu Qinghai pounced and pinned the strong sheep-headed man to death with his claws, who was as tall as an ordinary Space Marine. After letting out a miserable howl, he fell into a pool of blood. Fu Qinghai raised his head and suddenly discovered that this narrow and crowded tube was filled with beastman women with big bellies holding children.
Fu Qinghai slowly stood up.
He frowned and looked at these mutant humans.
They are all female, ranging in age from young to old. They have goat-like deformed heads and white or various variegated hairs on their skin. What they have in common is that they all have bulging bellies, big or small, and not only that, they all hold nursing babies in their arms.
These beastmen women huddled together and looked up at Fu Qinghai with frightened and evasive eyes. Malnutrition and continuous pregnancies and childbirths have made their lower limbs swollen and their faces sallow. They seem to have lost the ability to escape. They can only sit and tremble on a few dirty tattered blankets covered with black oil and soaked with dried blood and smelly amniotic fluid.
Awaiting the impending fate of death.
Although Fu Qinghai knew very well that the Gordo Gold Pure Breed Manual had eliminated the beastmen from the ranks of humans. Although Fu Qinghai knew very well that they were all traitors before him, and the children they carried in their bellies were also traitors. Although Fu Qinghai knew very well that they and their upcoming offspring would cause harm to tens of millions of humans in the future.
But in the end...
Fu Qinghai tightened his grip on the iron claw and then loosened it.
In the end, he failed to attack pregnant women and babies.
"well……"
Fu Qinghai let out a long sigh, turned around slowly, found a black ammunition box and bent down to sit down. He took off his helmet to reveal his tired face, took a deep breath of the dirty and smelly air here, and did not look at that place again. The group of beastmen stared at the ground in front of them and said hoarsely:
"Water, and food."
The pregnant beastmen looked at each other.
No one dared to make any move.
"Don't tell me you don't understand Gothic."
Fu Qinghai added impatiently.
The pregnant beastmen made eye contact, and finally a young, skinny satyr girl with a slightly smaller belly knelt down on the ground, dragging her swollen thighs, and moved into the dark pipe behind the shack. After a while, the goat girl held an iron bowl and a jar, and carefully knelt and moved in front of Fu Qinghai, lowered her head and then raised the items in her hands.
Fu Qinghai took the iron bowl and drank it in one gulp.
The water in the bowl smelled astringent of disinfectant and the rust of scrap iron pipes, but it was probably the cleanest water they could find. Fu Qinghai has taste detection nerves and is not worried at all that they will poison the water and food.
After drinking the water, he looked at the tin can again, which contained a flocculent white turbid liquid, almost as thick as a lump of moist cheese, and smelled of sour fermentation. Fu Qinghai frowned and looked at the pregnant beastmen. One of the women pointed at her sagging and deflated breasts.
Fu Qinghai shook his head helplessly.
Or lift the can and swallow it.
Fu Qinghai was really hungry. He was tired, thirsty and hungry. The food reserves in the white suitcase had been exhausted when he passed through the subspace storm. He only ate one meal before the war - the bottom of the Eternal Expedition. A prisoner in a cabin prison. About to face the legendary Chaos Warmaster Abaddon, who was chosen by the four gods, and his little Ka Limi with their own unique skills, Fu Qinghai must ensure that he is not in the worst condition.
Finished drinking water and finishing milk.
Fu Qinghai stood up and put on his helmet.
Ignoring the group of pregnant beastmen looking at him nervously, Fu Qinghai walked straight out of the messy shack area and continued the battle. However, the moment he walked out of the shed, Fu Qinghai's nerves suddenly became tense and his hair stood on end. He subconsciously raised his claws and took half a step back, assuming a defensive posture.
At this time, in front of Fu Qinghai.
A crystal statue stands quietly.
This crystal clear statue of four to five meters high is so lifelike. The character shown in the statue is also very familiar to Fu Qinghai: a handsome and perfect face, a middle-parted shawl and smooth long hair, and a pair of huge white wings behind his back. , the wings are decorated with exquisite pearls and gems.
Sanguinius!
Crystal statue of Sanguinius.
Fu Qinghai stared up at the statue blankly.
He had entered through this passage just now, and now he was coming out of the same passage. Fu Qinghai was very sure and convinced that there were no statues here just now. However, in the few minutes he entered, there was no abnormal sound outside. But an extra statue appeared out of thin air.
That legend about the Vengeful Spirit is true!
It was different from what he imagined. The face of this crystal statue did not have the anger and pain solidified before Sanguinius died in battle. On the contrary, the face of this statue was calm and looking straight into the distance, as if it was looking at the prophecy. future.
The only regret is that this statue is not perfect. Its left arm is completely broken and disappeared. The sword held in the palm of the right arm is also missing. Only an empty cylindrical hole is left, which represents that there once was a hilt. .
What does this mean?
Fu Qinghai stood there and was confused.
What should I do now?
