Chapter 210 Gathering in the Gamma World
"My people are missing."

It has completely lost contact with the subspace.

There is only one possibility.

That means death.

Death is not the end; everything in the world will be reborn after death.

For the Chaos Demon, death in the real universe is merely being banished from the real universe and returning to the subspace universe; it is far from death.

Therefore, Mortarion did not feel much anger about the deaths of his men.

However, the news about the Gamma World reported by his subordinates piqued his interest somewhat.

In particular, the commands of Abaddon and the benevolent father Nurgle.

Mortarian received two messages in succession in the Palace of Death.

One is Abaddon's Great Expedition.

"The Great Expedition"

Mortarion emerged from the throne of shattered bones and lumps of corpses.

This was an unimaginable depravity; his body, blessed by Nurgle, swelled to nearly 5 meters tall, becoming bloated and rotting, resembling a giant corpse.

His body was filled with the blasphemous creatures of Chaos and Nurgle. His breathing mask had completely merged into his face, turning into a rusted metal skull, with only one cloudy yellow eye visible. His jaw had fallen off, revealing rotting gums and wriggling maggots. His chest cavity was exposed, with a beating, decaying heart visible between his ribs, surrounded by intestines and Nurgle spirits. His abdomen had split open, constantly spewing out poisonous mist and plague flies.

His arms were swollen and ulcerated, his fingers had fused into claw-like shapes, and the "Silent Scythe" he held was covered in mold.

His legs turned into hooves, making his steps heavy and leaving behind a trail of corrosive slime with each step.

The air around him was filled with a yellowish-green poisonous cloud, and any mortal who got close would quickly rot.

His appearance was unbelievable. Even the original owner of the body would be silent, feeling sorry and regretful upon seeing his former brother transformed into his current state.

This change is permanent; it can only maintain its current state eternally and cannot return to the traces of the past.

Mortarian was unaware of the weapons Abaddon had acquired amidst the chaos of war and imperial struggles in other worlds. The invincible warlord Abaddon was constantly winning victories, and they had obtained a terrifying weapon capable of destroying star systems from the Empire. The true function of this weapon was unknown to Abaddon, the Chaos conspirators behind it, and the sorcerers and wizards. Abaddon only learned from the prophet that he could use this weapon to overload a star in front of him, and then have this terrifying behemoth directly paralyze the entire star system.

Abaddon arrived when the Empire was facing difficulties from other enemies.

They are continuously expanding their gains.

They were even prepared to paralyze the star system where Kadia was located, which had been blocking their escape from the Eye of Fear.

This includes the Father's arrangements, plans for a chaotic future, and preparations for the future of believers.

In the eyes of the loving father, this matter was of great importance to the future of chaos.

The Empire, however, remains unaware of the conspiracy behind this grand game originating from Chaos.

The most vicious and ruthless, along with the endless forces of the Chaos War Gang, are lurking in the Eye of Fear.

From the countless voices, Mortarion received the voices of his seed followers who had spread them from the mortal realm. It seemed that with the start of the Great Crusade, each step forward would lead their game toward greater victory.

Aside from the Great Expedition.

There was another matter, which was that the merciful father, Nagu, forbade him from approaching the boundaries of the Gamma World. He told him that if he wanted to do something before the Gamma World was destroyed, all he could do was spread the seeds of the Great Crusade to more places, let more lives be embraced by the merciful father, and let the seeds of the blessed plague be sown in other places.

Unlike other evil gods.

The benevolent father Nurgle was indeed suppressing his death side, and Nurgle was also pursuing blessings and life.

However, Nurgle's blessing is not for a single individual, but for all living beings equally. Even other cells, bacteria, and harmful things in your body are all objects of Nurgle's blessing. If you can withstand it, you can gain great power and may even directly ascend to become a demon prince.

However, most people cannot withstand the triple blessing of Nurtle.

Those who can withstand the test will become Nasred's beloved 'offspring'.

For Mortalian, this was the first time Nurgle had forbidden him from doing anything.

Because of Nurgle's affection, he even granted Mortarion a corrupt paradise in his backyard, in the distorted mirror image of Caliban, where the landscape resembled Mortarion's former homeworld, Barbaros.

"Lord Mortarion, are you going to the Gamma World?"

As Mortarian stood up, walked out of his palace, and gazed into the distance, his personal guards looked at him curiously, wanting to know what he was thinking.

The four gods are generally not allowed to do anything.

What do they do most of the time?
Will the Mortarian before us go to that world that is not allowed to go?

"I'm not going." For Mortarian, he had no interest in even participating in the Great Expedition.

Even Abaddon and the followers of other evil gods describe him as a "couch potato" and "lacking fighting spirit." In fact, other high demons like Nurgle and the Great Unclean don't think highly of Mortarion either, believing that he is too arrogant and doesn't fight for more for his benevolent father. If it were another evil god, he would have put him on the resurrection list long ago, and there would be no way he would keep appearing in the real universe.

Mortarian wanted to refuse, after all, if his benevolent father wouldn't let him go, there was no need for him to go either, and it wouldn't make any sense for him to go there. But when he thought about the subordinates he had lost in the Gamma World, he became somewhat interested. The other evil gods seemed to be more concerned about everything in the Gamma World.

"Arubis, go there."

Mortarian didn't want to leave, so, just like he had done with his previous missions, he sent his men to scout ahead before deciding whether to go.

What Mortarian didn't know was...

Nurgle prevented him from going because he sensed that the Gamma World was doing something outrageous.

Once this news is released, it could have extremely negative consequences for the entire universe.

Knowing this, Nurgle didn't want Mortarion to betray him.

Mortarian never fully received the Triple Blessing because he was filled with regret for the past, and this regret prevented him from fully accepting his true nature.

This is a slight regret for Nurgle.

"Yes!"

Mortalian's Death Guards are extremely loyal soldiers who are willing to endure the pain of Nurgle's blessing to prove their loyalty. However, Death Guards affected by Nurgle have bodies that rot like Mortalian's, covered in disgusting festering sores.

Unlike the blessings bestowed by other chaotic evil gods, they abandoned physical forms, retaining only spiritual honor.

Watching Alubis leave, Mortarian lay back down. He didn't even want to think too much. Every time he thought about the past, it was a painful experience for him, and it also made him conflicted about his current situation. After all, he used to hate psionics so much, but now he relied on them. In his current situation, he could only keep brainwashing himself.

Ignoring everything outside, locking oneself inside.

He sent his subordinates out to handle matters.

Albis sailed toward the Gamma world, piloting a ship blessed by Nurgle, the god of chaos.

He also possesses the qualities of a benevolent father, with Nurgle following him.

This is what Mortarian gave him.

Gamma world?

Nurgle jumped onto his shoulder, and Arubis gazed into the distance. It would take at least several months to jump from the warp to that place, and this was the shortest distance they could shorten by traveling through the warp.

If they were to sail directly from the outside, it would probably take them tens of thousands of years to reach their destination.

As Arubis began his voyage, they sensed the somber atmosphere brought about by the Eye of Fear.

Abaddon's surprise attack made the Imperial defenses even tighter, and they used the Eye of Terror defense line built in the Cardia Sector to trap the Chaos warriors within it.

However, the Eye of Fear is too big.

Even the Empire's defenses could not possibly hold all the fortresses.

They can escape the Empire's defenses and flee through the Eye of Fear by simply passing through the corresponding world.

"With the Human Empire so defensively defending Cardia, I'm afraid Abaddon's army will find it difficult to break through Cardia's blockade and win every battle? Heh, that's just self-praise."

Kadia's defensive posture involved the deployment of countless warbands to protect the last bastion of the Imperial Fist, including mortal soldiers.

Such a large-scale expedition would likely cause enormous losses in the Cardia sector, with the death toll destined to be extremely high.

"Lord Albis, we have bypassed the guards of the human empire."

Those below reported to Arubis.

By bypassing the human empire's guards, they successfully entered the real universe.

They can locate their destination through the real universe, and then travel through subspace channels to reach it.

However, at the same time that Alubis entered the subspace orbit, other Chaos armies entered the subspace channel almost simultaneously with him.

Shadows permeate these people.

The shadow storm, resembling the silhouettes of mist crows, obscured even the traces of their existence.

"Gamma World!"

"What exactly are they doing that even the evil god has to take notice of, and that makes those blessed individuals personally take action to deal with them?"
