Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

The murky tolling of the bell echoed through the surrounding space, following the footsteps of the plague, each hum carrying a magical power that reassured the followers of Nurgle.

No matter how great the fear, it all dissipates into the air the moment the bell is heard.

They found themselves drawn to these "perfect creatures" who had suddenly appeared beside them, and within minutes, the group for the spring outing had grown to several hundred people.

"He's already here." The plague carrier, whose bronze bell is engraved with the number three, looked at the corner not far away, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Upon hearing his reminder, the other six plague carriers immediately went into battle mode, with the swarms of flies constantly changing formation to defend against any potential threat from above.

Faced with an enemy who would apply debuffs to him in close combat, Xiao Yi did not choose to rush in and start slashing. Instead, he threw a round molten bomb to test the waters.

The large flies, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately swarmed up and intercepted it in mid-air. The dazzling white light, accompanied by a scorching heat wave, directly dispersed the maggots that had gathered together.

Perhaps because they had studied at Nurgle Garden, the explosive force of the molten metal bomb did not cause them much damage; at most, it crippled some flies.

Flies capable of withstanding the high temperatures and impacts of a molten metal bomb explosion are rare even in the entire Milky Way, which sparked Friedrich's interest in researching them.

"These fly-like creatures are extremely rare, and our unit recommends..."

"No need for advice, it's better to destroy this kind of thing."

While answering Friedrich's seemingly foolish question, Xiao Yi aimed at the opening created by the previous bomb explosion and threw out a second thermobaric bomb.

Still somewhat bewildered, the warp fly didn't react in time. The second molten bomb drew a perfect arc in the air and crashed into Plague Carrier Number Seven.

When the molten metal bomb came within about a meter of him, the terrifying plague from the subspace began to take effect, and the metal casing quickly rusted, turning into brown dust and dissipating into the air.

The outer shell, which was internally isolated from the high temperature of the thermally melted core, was exposed and rapidly corroded by other types of plague.

Before long, the molten metal bomb that Xiao Yi threw out would turn into a pile of junk. Fortunately, the time-delay fuse did not give the plague that much time.

Perhaps due to damage to its internal structure, the explosion was significantly weaker this time, only causing Plague Carrier Number Seven to take two steps back.

Looking at the faint marks left on his body by the exploding thermal bomb, the Plague Carrier Number Seven, who had been smiling, suddenly showed a hint of disdain.

"Is that all you've got? We're not as fragile as humans, easily killed by these little explosive gadgets."

He reached into the large hole in his abdomen, grabbed a handful of unidentified dark green substance, and threw it toward Xiao Yi's location.

Seeing the foul-smelling unidentified object, Xiao Yi instinctively chose to dodge. He reached out and grabbed Friedrich's right arm, which was holding the Ohm Messiah battle axe, and took a dozen steps back.

With a snap, the clump of liquid of unknown composition landed where Xiao Yi had just stood, bursting out a large amount of disgusting pus. Within seconds, the areas it touched sprouted flower-shaped flesh and blood tissue.

The Flesh Plague is primarily used to deal with mechanical units such as tanks, which are extremely difficult to be affected by ordinary plagues. The Plague Carrier No. 7 wanted to use it to remove Xiao Yi's protective suit, which had defensive capabilities comparable to tank armor.

Only Xiao Yi, whose physical abilities are hundreds of times greater than those of normal humans, can move freely while wearing this outfit. Anyone else would have been beaten up like a punching bag long ago.

Of course, that ball of pus contained not only the flesh plague, but also a series of plagues that could weaken Xiao Yi's combat power, such as aging, withering, and fragility. The seventh plague carrier had stuffed them all in.

"Ignore that lump of metal next to him, we only have one goal."

The other plague carriers, who were already prepared, threw out a plague bomb in the same manner, and then strode their bloated legs toward Xiao Yi's direction.

"Let's keep a safe distance, otherwise I might not have the energy to help you."

"Go ahead without worry. Our unit will set up fire support positions to assist in the operation and initiate the offensive protocol."

Two red skull icons appeared on the display screen showing Friedrich's face. He held the molten gun in his left hand and fired a shot at the fourth plague carrier who was charging at the front.

A white beam of thermal energy struck the target directly, knocking it to the ground. The plague had little effect on attacks launched by energy weapons, at least for now.

The other plague carriers were not particularly shocked by the situation. In order not to lose face like Number Four, they quickened their pace.

The nauseating stench grew stronger and stronger. Xiao Yi suppressed his nausea and summoned two fireballs, blasting them towards Number Three and Number Five at the forefront.

In the sky, the recovered swarm of flies once again played their role. They quickly gathered and blocked the fireball's path, using their own bodies to shield their master from the attack.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that close combat was inevitable. In order to prevent his power sword and armor from being affected by the Nurgle Plague, Xiao Yi covered them with a thin layer of psionic shield.

"For the merciful father, for the corrupt lord!" the third plague carrier shouted, raising his sword to stab Xiao Yi in the chest.

The humming power sword swept upwards, knocking away the enchanted blade from the hands of Plaguebringer Number Three and leaving a scar on his chest.

Just as Xiao Yi was about to press his advantage and eliminate one of them first, the demon in front of him, lacking any sense of martial ethics, opened his mouth and spat at him.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi reacted quickly and dodged to the side, but because of this action, he lost the opportunity to eliminate the third plague carrier.

The demons under the Four Gods each have their own unique fighting style, among which Nurgle is the most disgusting. While engaging in close combat, they will also try to smear their bodily fluids on their enemies to weaken them.

The most obvious manifestation of this practice is spitting, urinating, farting, and defecating at the enemy...

This is why Nurgle has another name: the god of excrement and urine.

The thought of what might happen to him after his defeat fueled Xiao Yi's desire for victory even more.

The power sword's blade flashed in front of him in arcs, and a buzzing wall of light deflected all incoming attacks. Sparks shattered into tiny fragments upon impact with the enchanted blade.

While successfully defending against the enemy's attack, Xiao Yi was also constantly looking for opportunities.
