The power of Nurgle dissipated in the belly of the Void Whale, but the damage they caused did not disappear. Although the hull material changed from loose and porous sponge flesh back to hard steel, the giant cave in the bottom cabin and the corridor leading directly to the bridge from the cave in the bottom cabin were still there.

After this battle with the plague army.

The strike cruiser had become half-crippled.

At least a major overhaul is needed before it can get back on track.

What was even more deadly was that the mortal soldiers and Space Marines who died from the Nurgle Plague would not be resurrected just because the Nurgle army left. The three "ripples" released by the Great Nurgle alone directly killed 80% of the mortal crew of the battleship and nearly half of the Space Marines of the Tenth Company of the Space Wolves. In addition, there were also those who died in the battle with the Nurgle army. The loss was heavy.

Ku'gath the Plaguefather.

Nurgle's favorite Great Unclean One (so far).

It's so terrifying once it's used.

Fu Qinghai had heard of Ku'gath's name. The Nurgle camp was relatively harmonious, unlike the workaholics in the Khorne camp and the jealous demons in the Slaanesh camp who emphasized individual combat power rankings. Ku'gath's character has always been Nurgle's favorite great demon - not the most powerful great demon in Nurgle's camp.

While other unclean ones were still trying to spread known viruses, Ku'gath was already committed to developing new plagues, which was equivalent to the inventor and chemist of Nurgle. Ku'gath's representative works include two psychic viruses, "Bone Wither" and "God's Plague".

The former is designed primarily against Orks.

The latter is said to be able to poison the Primarchs.

In addition, Kugath's personality is also quite unique. Most other Nurgle demons are happy-go-lucky, but Kugath is a pessimist who often doubts that his father's plan will fail. And other Nurgle demons like music very much, but Kugath hates being disturbed by music while working.

The Space Wolves suffered heavy losses at the hands of Nurgle.

Fu Qinghai was not hurt at all.

He was very well protected by the Goblin Armor.

The Uru metal power armor possessed by eight evil spirits may not be indestructible in the face of other physical damage such as nuclear bomb explosions or orbital bombardment, but it can almost be said to have full defense against various psychic and magical attacks. This is a armor specially developed for the subspace, with too many top-level magic materials piled up.

When Fu Qinghai first faced Ku'gath, he was very passive. No matter his size, strength or magic skills, he was easily crushed by the Great Unclean One. However, he finally defeated him with the solid shell of Uru metal and the soul-sucking property of Saronite. The cloud of flies and torrents of pus summoned by the Plague Father could not break the defense of the Goblin Armor in a short time.

At the same time, for the most powerful plague of Nurgle demons, corruption and pollution, the Goblin Armor also has a targeted response plan - Pazuzu, one of the eight evil demons, is an ancient disease demon originating from the Mesopotamian civilization. It is said that this powerful demon can control hurricanes and locust plagues, and one of the areas he controls is "disease".

When Fu Qinghai found Saroyan.

The red-haired warrior was sitting on the crack on the deck in a daze. The surrounding Space Marines were calling on the chapter servants to rescue the wounded, deal with the bodies, and repair the damage. The entire bridge was in a mess.

"Saroyan."

Fu Qinghai spoke.

"Qingshan..."

Saroyan raised his head stiffly, his red beard was tangled in wisps around his cheeks, covered with blood and minced meat, and he looked particularly embarrassed. He asked in a dry voice:

"You have eliminated the Nurgle army?"

Fu Qinghai nodded:

"Ku'gath Plaguefather, exiled by me."

"What are you going to do next?"

Saroyan asked with a tired look on his face.

"Where is Blindsight?"

Fu Qinghai did not answer but asked back.

"I'm here!"

A woman climbed out of the equipment box and shouted.

Fu Qinghai looked at the blind girl and said sarcastically,

"I thought you were dead."

Blindsight patted the greasy stains on his body:

"Don't worry, Khan. Although I can't see, I can foresee danger more keenly than anyone else."

Fu Qinghai carefully observed Blindsight's face and found that she had regained consciousness. She was no longer the silly girl with a sniffle on her face. It seemed that she had recovered from the side effects of the necromancer.

So he pulled Blindsight aside and asked seriously:

"What should we do next?"

"I have no idea."

Blindsight shook his head and said.

"Listen, Blindsight."

Fu Qinghai pulled the blind girl aside, raised his hand and pointed at the lonely back of Saroyan Skarson who was sitting on the edge of the crack on the deck. He leaned over and approached Blindsight and said in a low voice:

"Your prophecy caused the Space Wolves to lose half of their company and most of the mortal crew members on the battleship. They are very angry now. If you have any new tricks, you'd better use them now, otherwise I can't protect you."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with my predictions."

Blindsight raised his head and retorted:

"I have seen countless possible outcomes in the future, and all of them end in death. Only this choice can save us from death. As for what happens after entering the belly of the Void Whale, I'm sorry, that's not within the scope of my prediction."

What it means is: she doesn't take the blame.

"Can you make a prediction like that again?"

Fu Qinghai asked.

"Necrotic potion? Unless you want me to die."

Blindsight sneered.

After all this talk, I still have to rely on myself...

Fu Qinghai straightened up and looked out the porthole.

"I'll go outside and take a look."

Fu Qinghai passed by Saroyan.

He patted his shoulder armor and said.

…

There was no need to open the hatch. The hull of the Spear of Russ was covered with cracks. Fu Qinghai randomly found a crack and crawled out, spreading out the bat wings behind him and flapping them violently.

The demon wings made of N metal may not be as powerful as the thrust of a flying backpack, but the flying speed is still not slow, and it quickly carried Fu Qinghai away from the cruiser.

Looking at the dark red flesh walls around again, he found that the yellow shingles that were once densely packed on them had all burst open, leaving only a series of ulcerated pits, and the Nurgle demons bred in the blisters had disappeared.

Fu Qinghai carefully recalled the Void Whale's settings. According to the information, the Void Whale is so large that it can even form a unique ecosystem inside, becoming the home of many strange subspace creatures. The Void Whale that attacked the Imperial Space Fortress in 41K had an alien race called "Murloc" living inside it, which once caused great trouble to the Space Wolves that boarded the whale.

But after a brief exploration, Fu Qinghai did not find any alien races or other creatures in the void whale - it seems that after the Nurgle demon army infected and parasitized the whale, they had cleared out all the other creatures inside. This speculation makes sense, because when the cruiser first entered the void whale, the original words of the demon were:

"Welcome to the Plague Ark."

This means that the Nurgle demon army believes that they have occupied this place and want to transform this whale into a so-called "Plague Ark" to spread their evil and corrupt beliefs.

But...

Why did the Void Whale swallow the cruiser?

Fu Qinghai thought as he stroked the dark red flesh.

Is this its spontaneous behavior?

Or is this an action controlled by the Nurgle demon army?

Thinking of this, Fu Qinghai looked at the ulcer pits on the flesh wall again, and suddenly his heart moved. He raised his claws and inserted them into the mess of rotten tissue. A faint blue light floated between the claw blades and was absorbed by the claws. The Void Whale is also a subspace creature, and the Saronite can naturally absorb its soul.

Then the entire flesh wall began to tremble violently.

Fu Qinghai kept his claws inserted into the ulcer wound and looked up in all directions. This flesh wall was like a giant wall with no end in sight. As the ghost armor began to absorb the essence of the soul, the dark red wall began to contract and spasm inward and undulate like a circular wave.

"Stop, human!"

A voice suddenly rang out in my heart:

"Otherwise I will chew you up!"

No language, no words.

Just a thought asking "stop".

"Ahaha, so you have self-awareness."

Fu Qinghai smiled and spoke.

Then he pulled out his claws.

The eight evil demons wailed in resentment and unwillingness.

"I have not yet been completely corrupted by Nurgle."

The voice in my heart spoke.

"so..."

Fu Qinghai guessed it immediately:

"You deliberately swallowed this cruiser and held it in your mouth, just to let me help you remove the Nurgle infection in your mouth, right? But I am curious, how do you know that this warship can help you deal with the Nurgle demon army?"

The voice was silent for a moment.

After a long while, he slowly spoke:

"I once accidentally swallowed a piece of planetary debris. Later, I learned that the planetary fragment had long been contaminated by the power of Nurgle. Corruption and disease were spreading all over it. Then Nurglings and Nurgling beasts began to grow in my mouth. These Nurgling demons gradually multiplied and spread in my body, infecting my flesh and blood, and attracted the Great Unclean One. They wanted to corrupt me completely and turn me into the so-called 'Plague Ark'."

This example tells us not to eat indiscriminately.

Fu Qinghai then asked:

"Then what?"

The consciousness in my heart continued:

"The God of Disease is too powerful. I have no way to stop the infection of Nurgle in my body. I can only watch them eat away at my flesh and blood step by step and use them to multiply until the day when the plague spreads to my brain. I drift aimlessly between the Sea of ​​Souls and the real universe, a patient infected with a terminal illness waiting for my entire body to completely die..."

"Until one day, I broke into an area where a cold sun was hanging in the sea of ​​souls. The light emitted by that sun was so intense that it burned me deeply and made my whole body sting. But the miraculous thing was that the Nurgle pollution in my body gradually faded under the shining light, and I could hear the shrill screams of the Nurgle demons."

"Um?"

Fu Qinghai's heart moved when he heard this.

The cold sun in the warp?

Could it be...

Fu Qinghai remembered what Tracy had once said to him. The chief navigator had described it this way: the light of the star torches seen in different locations in the Milky Way is different.

When they sailed in the Solar Region where Holy Terra was located, the light of the Astronomican was as dazzling as the stars in the midday sky, and it was impossible to ignore it. However, when they sailed in the border regions of the empire, such as the Marx King Region, the light of the Astronomican was like an oil lamp in the dark night, flickering and appearing from time to time, and one had to observe hard to see it clearly.

According to the scene described by the Void Whale, it was even burned by the light emitted by the sun. So this unlucky guy is likely to have not just mistakenly entered the Solar Star Region - it may have entered the Solar System, and was burned by the light of the Star Torch because it was too close to Holy Terra.

"Then I realized that the mysterious power emitted by the cold sun could eliminate the infection in my body and resist the power of the God of Plague. But I couldn't get too close to the sun, because I would be seriously injured or even burned in the flames by the light, and I could only turn around and leave."

"I continued to drift aimlessly in the sea of ​​souls until I heard a song. I followed the song and felt in you a trace of the feeling that the cold sun once gave me. So I went through the storm and swallowed you regardless of everything, hoping that you could bring me relief..."

The Void Whale explained the whole story.

"I see."

Fu Qinghai nodded in understanding:

"So, I am your savior?"

"No, you have to get out of my body."

The Void Whale sent a stern thought.

OK, OK, OK, you're going to destroy the bridge after crossing it, right?

Fu Qinghai raised his hand and inserted his claws into the ulcer again.

Insert it deeply until your entire arm is inside.

"Boom boom boom…"

The giant flesh wall began to tremble and spasm violently again.

This is different from Nurgle infection, which is like boiling a frog in warm water and cutting its flesh with a blunt knife, spreading the disease and erosion little by little. And the Nurgle demon army does not want to kill the Void Whale, but just wants to transform it into another form - Nurgle is the god of life, and He does not like to destroy life.

Saronite directly absorbs souls.

This is damaging to the essence of the Void Whale.

"I'm sure you can spit out the cruiser - just spit it out the way it came in. But you can't spit me out because I'm too small, right?"

Fu Qinghai asked with a smile:

"Do you want to reconsider?"
