Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 514 The Plague Army Strikes, War Erupts

In the Eye of Fear, a massive fleet of Chaos Plague was deployed, accompanied by a vast army of Nurgle demons.

The Nurgle forces mobilized almost entirely, then split into two groups. One group, led by Primarch Mortarion, headed towards the First Fleet of the Unyielding Expedition.

The other one, led by Typhons, the new commander of the Death Guard, marched into the world of Alteramar 500.

Meanwhile, large numbers of Chaos followers began attacking various worlds of the Empire, spreading the terrifying plague of the Father to every corner of the galaxy.

The moment they appeared in the real universe, a terrifying plague had already spread.

In the Extreme Starfield, the Solar Starfield, the Hazy Starfield, and the Far East Starfield, different types and kinds of plagues broke out one after another, and countless people were infected by these plagues.

Its body begins to turn a sickly green, pustules appear, then it has difficulty breathing, and gradually loses its life, eventually becoming a disgusting walking corpse.

These terrifying zombies began attacking humans, attacking all living beings, and then turning them into their own companions, spreading an extremely terrifying plague.

Come! Join the great and loving Father's family and enjoy the Father's boundless love!
"This is a gift from the great and loving Father to you, this is the highest glory." Typhons let out a series of sinister laughs, spreading the terrifying plague of the gods throughout the worlds of the Empire.

The emperor, seated on the golden throne, and Magnus beside him, were also immediately aware of the devastation throughout the empire through the amplification of their psionic powers.

Countless human beings were plunged into wailing, tormented by disease, and after death, the plague of the evil god would manipulate their corpses to attack their relatives.

This terrifying plague spread rapidly, and countless state priests and imperial inquisitors sent messages to Holy Terra.

Xingyuting was extremely busy, with countless distress signals from the various imperial worlds coming one after another.

"This is the XXX Empire's Nest City World, which is threatened by a plague. We request assistance."

"A large number of Chaos Fleets have been discovered in World XXX. Requesting support."

"XXX is experiencing a massive invasion of Chaos Space Marines and Chaos Demons. Requesting assistance."

Countless distress signals were sent over and were compiled and presented to Imperial Regent Guilliman and the newly resurrected Imperial Chancellor Makado.

Because of Macado's resurrection, Magnus relinquished the position of Imperial Chancellor to the former Chancellor.

The two were extremely busy, constantly processing these documents, and then arranging for the garrison troops in the newly developed area to go to the rescue.

Unlike the slow-moving imperial high command before them, Guilliman and Magnus's newly formed council acted with remarkable efficiency.

Orders were signed and printed, and then sent to all parts of the Empire. Even the Indomitable Fleet on expeditions received the orders. The Empire was under unimaginable threat. Expeditions were temporarily halted, and each fleet began to provide assistance to the Empire's worlds under attack.

"Father, at least 1 Imperial worlds have been invaded, and several hundred have already fallen." Guilliman brought the reports to Holy Terra and presented them to the Emperor himself.

"Organize a full-scale rescue operation, have Macardo assist you, and immediately inform the other Primarchs fighting abroad about this." The Emperor issued his orders methodically.

He had been preparing for this plague of the gods, this plague war, for over a decade. Not only was Nurgle making preparations, but the Emperor was also preparing.

The Empire's geneticists, virologists, and pharmacists from various warbands are all developing various antibodies.

In order to deal with this plague of the gods, but to completely defeat Nurgle's terrifying plague, we need the help of an Eldar goddess, the goddess of life, Elsa!
In the past, whenever a large-scale plague occurred in the Milky Way, the Eldar's Goddess of Life would spread her divine grace to the real universe through some means, teaching mortals the methods to save lives.

Now that the Goddess of Life has a physical body capable of walking in the real universe, the Emperor is eager for Rhodes to ask her for help.

Ending this plague war quickly will minimize the losses the empire suffers. The empire has only just begun to recover and is in a state of resurgence; it absolutely cannot afford to suffer any further blows.

“Your Majesty! The Empire’s forces are somewhat depleted. The Death Watch’s garrisons have begun rescue operations on nearby planets, but the numbers are still insufficient. Most importantly, this plague is extremely difficult to deal with,” said Macado, who had been resurrected for a year.

Having just been resurrected, just taken over the work of the Empire, and barely gotten used to this utterly messed-up world ten thousand years in the future, Makado immediately encountered such a troublesome matter, giving him a real headache.

Honestly, the world of the Empire ten thousand years later is utterly disappointing, and can only be described as a cesspool.

This enormous cesspool even tempted Macardo to urge the Emperor to destroy it completely and then rebuild order.

Ten thousand years ago, humanity was in a period of conflict, and its technological level was somewhat better than it is now. The emperor's decision to hand over the empire to mortals to rule was a grave mistake.

In the past, emperors may have wanted mortals to develop on their own, but in reality, in this world where demons and monsters roam freely and evil gods are constantly recruiting people, without the protection of gods, weak races are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.

Therefore, Macardo has now changed his mind. The Empire needs gods, emperors, and new Primarchs!

"The only one who can break this divine plague right now is the Goddess of Life beside Rhodes," the Emperor said.

“Your Majesty, there are some things I think we should rely on ourselves, instead of always relying on others. I think with your current strength, you should be able to crack this plague virus, right?” Macado said.

The Emperor is now incredibly powerful, more powerful than ever before! He is more than ten times, or even a hundred times, stronger than he was ten thousand years ago.

The current emperor is like a god in the warp, only one without freedom, bound to the golden throne.

But the Golden Throne also extended the Emperor's spirit to the subspace level.

This terrifying virus, originating from the Warp and created by Nurgle, one of the Four Evil Gods, should still be able to be neutralized if the Emperor so desires.

"No! In this incident, I must focus all my efforts on dealing with another enemy. I must also deal with Nurgle, I must deal with the Lord of Changes, and I must deal with the Blood God," the Emperor said.

He actually governs the darkness, coldness, death, and fear of the universe, but life itself shines brightly because of human hope.

He could indeed create an antidote to the plague of the gods, but it wasn't as easy for him as it was for the Goddess of Life; it would take him at least a decade or even longer to do so.

Moreover, the spiritual energy consumed is terrifying. He must now accumulate power, enough power to deliver a fatal blow.

“Let everything be on a foreign god, even one that wasn’t created by you,” Macado said.

This being called Rhodes was not created by the Emperor, but came from another universe. Even the novelties it brought came from another world, which Makado could not completely believe.

You can't rely on the other party for everything.

“You don’t understand, Macado. Once you meet Rhodes, you’ll see. This kid genuinely wants to help humanity, not just pretend. He doesn’t have much of a desire for power; I know that better than anyone,” the Emperor said.

If Rhodes were truly an ambitious man, he wouldn't accept an offer to join the Imperial hierarchy. Instead, he would launch a massive rebellion, rule countless human planets, establish a new regime, and then overthrow his own rule.

With his magical power, the Emperor was 100% convinced that Rhodes had a way to deal with the Dark Lord. As long as the human race was not wiped out, he would not have to get up from the Golden Throne.

Even if the empire is destroyed and a new regime takes over, he will still be the ruler of mankind, and he will still sit on the golden throne, living for mankind.

“I hope your decision is right,” Macado said with a sigh.

“Prime Minister Arcado, I also believe in Rhodes. Without him, we Primarchs would not have reunited, and the Empire would not have recovered to its current state,” Guilliman said.

The meeting on Holy Terra had just ended when Guilliman immediately used the special power of the Cosmic Beast to begin communicating with Rhodes remotely.

This was a communication method they had agreed upon long ago. Communicating in the subspace was easily detectable by others, but if they used cosmic beasts, no one could detect what they were communicating.

"Rhodes! You must know that a plague has broken out all over the Empire recently, right? How's your expeditionary fleet doing?"

“I am aware of the plague throughout the Empire. I have dispatched 20 elite offspring and 30 battle nuns to various worlds of the Empire to carry out relief work,” Rhodes said.

“Rhodes, our only hope now is that the Goddess of Life can quickly develop an antidote for the God Plague. The sooner the antidote appears, the sooner this war can end,” Guilliman said.

“I had Elsa get started months ago, when the plague had just broken out. She’ll develop an antidote soon, within a month at most,” Rhodes said.

“Then I’m relieved. But be careful, the forces of Chaos might launch an attack on you,” Guilliman said.

"You, Guilliman, should be worried. A plague fleet is already heading towards Alteramar."
