How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 104: Is it true that being a crowned master means death?
pain.The burning pain was exploding from his heart to his limbs.

A person who suffers from such torture asks himself in pain: How many years has he not felt this kind of pain since he followed the teachings of his loving father? 700 years? 7000 years?He forgot.But could an Astartes, especially one as blessed as he, forget something so impressive?he does not know.It was so painful that he couldn't think.

The talisman imbued with the Emperor's psychic power flickered tenaciously at Typhons' heart.It was the highest-grade amulet made by Fujimaru Ritsuka himself and given to Asclepius before the expedition as a precaution. Just by existing near Chaos, it could continuously activate the Emperor's spiritual energy to clear away pollution. Not to mention the current situation, being stuffed directly into the Plague Soldier's chest.

The other heart, which was still intact in his chest, continued to pump out black blood, trying to wash away the new colleague with filth and extinguish the golden flames on it.But this only caused the harmful psychic energy to spread through his body more quickly, adding to his suffering.In this pain, Typhons waved his hands without any clues, trying to dig out this dangerous foreign object embedded in his body.

The gift given by the garden is both a help and a curse at this time - if it were not for the protection and gift of Grandfather God that gave him strong vitality and resilience, then he would probably have been burned to the bone by the spiritual energy of the cursed person. Even if he survived, it would be impossible to move his hands whose tendons had just been severed; but because of this extremely strong vitality and recovery power, he had to continue to endure this kind of torture, even to the point where he had just been killed by Asclepius. The rib bone plates that Ersi had cut open with his psychic power also began to proliferate and heal again, making the process of removing the foreign body unnecessarily difficult.

If he could still find the energy to perceive the outside world, then maybe the fact that "Asclepius is not having an easy time" can make him feel better.After the amulet given by Fujimaru Ritsuka left the side of the God of Medicine, Nurgle's erosion of the spiritual base immediately accelerated significantly.Invisible mycelium in the supreme sky entangled his hands and feet. In the real universe, there was also obvious pollution starting from the ends of Asclepius' limbs.

The pain of the disease began to torture his mind, and two mutually exclusive spiritual powers began to attack each other using his body as a battlefield.Asclepius' breathing became difficult, and the sweet and rancid blood flowed back into his mouth from the ongoing lesions until he had to spit it out.Even so, he still stood unsteadily on the spot, even driving away any Ultramarines who tried to get close to him and help him leave the center of the battlefield:

"Go away! You idiots! Can't you see that the pathogens here are spreading?!" He waved his arms and let the long snake swim quickly around him, drawing a safe distance for the time being - and the long mechanical snake The metal surface of the snake seems to be no longer as shiny as before. "If you have the strength, why not perform another disinfection and prevention procedure! Stop bothering me! Don't underestimate the doctor's physical strength and endurance!"

Asclepius was actually no longer aware of what was happening around him.This had nothing to do with the pain that was tormenting him, it was simply that there was another existence that wanted to mess with his consciousness.

I appreciate you.said the huge and distant voice.Join us and free yourself from the pain of this reality and I will give you what you want.

Asclepius ignored the voice.He tried to focus his attention on reality so that he could clearly see the battlefield situation in front of him.He caught the sound of Typhons crying out in prayer, and realized that one of his guards was trying to help him - using a rusty dagger to dig out the amulet that had been placed at the heart of Nurgle's Chosen.He used all his willpower to try to drive the snake to drive the plague soldier away, but in the next moment he was hit by a bomb that flew from nowhere.

The good news is that Asclepius himself did not put up any decent defense for himself. The explosive bomb passed through and did not cause him the very fatal damage that the explosive bomb should theoretically do; the bad news is that , and he did fall to the ground because of this sudden attack.

This large-caliber projectile just passed by and hollowed out almost half of his abdominal cavity.In the current situation, the pain itself didn't matter. What made Asclepius feel even more uncomfortable was the blood that was flowing back. The thick black blood was almost blocking his trachea.

Heroic spirits essentially don't need to breathe, but this was still annoying to Asclepius.He turned his head and tried to spit out the putrid blood.In a daze, he seemed to see a pair of foot armor that did not belong to the Ultramarines or the Death Guard passing quickly in front of his eyes, and the fire of karma like red lotus began to ignite on the battlefield.He didn't clearly realize what was happening on the battlefield, but he still smiled at what he saw:
"High temperature disinfection...yes...that's it..."

Asclepius felt as if he was slowly sinking into the mire.

Why not respond?Why refuse?I know what you want, I can see your life.The huge and distant voice said again.You were so outstanding that you even shaken the authority of the God of Death and were killed by the gods. You want a world without death.I hate death too, and I think we'll get along.

When he opened his eyes again, Asclepius saw a huge figure sitting among the lush green vegetation.Countless deformed and strange vegetation clustered around the figure, growing, rotting, falling into mud, and sprouting again.Even though they undoubtedly show strong vitality, even if they continue to grow in cycles, this scene still does not make people feel alive, but full of diseased decay and decayed silence.

Asclepius closed his eyes.This illusory feeling of slowly sinking in the mud was enough to bother him, and he was too lazy to say even one more word to the stupid god.

But the stupid god obviously had no intention of letting him go.

Don't you yearn for that kind of world?Everyone is no longer disturbed by their destined death, and everyone can be resurrected after death.When you made that medicine, didn't you also want to pursue such a world?What you have spent your whole life pursuing comes easily to me.Join me and become my servant - you can take my divine power and use it wherever you like.

Asclepius still didn't respond.But then, another strange pulling feeling made him frown, and a crisp female voice exploded into his spiritual world without warning:

+You *Nostramo expletive* imbecile, what are you talking about?Asclepius is my Servant!Get your paws off him! +
Asclepius reopened his eyes in shock.He saw the crimson shield-shaped pattern of the command spell on the back of Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand floating above him, and countless slender red threads hanging from it, gently wrapping around his limbs, pulling him out of the illusory swamp.The surrounding vegetation and branches obviously opposed what the outsider was doing. In the high and far anger radiated by the huge body, they came to life and tried to attack the not solid pattern in mid-air.And Asclepius finally said the first words at this time: "You are really crazy!" This sentence was obviously not addressed to the huge figure on the seat, but to the owner of the command spell, " If you use the contract connection like this, you will only get yourself involved!"

+Then let me watch you die?This is even more unacceptable than death! +Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice gradually sounded like it was echoing in his ears, which seemed to indicate that she was taking the initiative to further strengthen the contractual connection: +I am the Grand Master, you entrust me with your trust. , how could I let this happen to you! +
"I asked for this, with you -" Asclepius shouted anxiously, and the backflow of blood penetrated into his trachea, causing him to choke and cough, making him unable to finish the sentence.He was still rising slowly under the pull of the red line, but the force pulling him downwards gradually became stronger.

+What nonsense are you talking about? The mistakes of subordinates are also the responsibility of the commander!I was mentally prepared for such risks from the moment I agreed to come with you! +
The originally bright red shield-shaped badge suddenly flashed with golden light at this moment, causing the diseased branches surrounding it to shrink back.The golden light even flowed down along the thread representing "fate" and was transmitted to Asclepius. While further removing the disease curse he suffered, it also slightly weakened the pull in the mud.

Why don't you respond to me?Why reject me?The huge and distant voice was finally filled with annoyance, and even the illusory swamp seemed to come alive, twisting into a big hand and directly grabbing Asclepius's entire body.

He seemed to hear Fujimaru Ritsuka moaning in pain because of this, but it seemed that he did not, because his ears were soon filled with the crackling and burning sound caused by the red threads stained with pure golden light - they were trying to burn dry. The hand turned from the swamp rescued Asclepius, but in fact it had little effect.

The huge force of that hand was almost irresistible, and the shield-shaped badge in mid-air also sank a little lower.

——If this continues, Fujimaru Ritsuka will really only get herself involved.So judged Asclepius.

Don’t you long for the vision you have been pursuing your whole life?The voice was still trying to seduce, but Asclepius only sneered in response.

"You made a mistake, stupid god." He responded to the Plague Lord for the first time. "The reason why I pursue 'immortality' is to defend the dignity of human beings and free them from the control of the gods. I do I have repeated my life many times with this obsession - and I have made some progress in each reincarnation."

The diseased area on the surface of Asclepius's body expanded suddenly and rapidly, and almost in an instant, he illogically became dying.He has already decided, and this opening is also his last response to the Lord of Plague: "'Death' itself is also an important 'dignity' that makes 'human beings' become 'human beings'."

The next moment, all the thin threads connected to the shield-shaped emblem broke, and the shield emblem exuding golden light rose rapidly under the reaction force.Asclepius, who had cut off his own retreat, just sneered and used his eroded spiritual base itself as the ignition mechanism to detonate the imperial power that had been actively accumulated in his body since just now and was not used to resist the curse of the disease. Emperor's spiritual power.

——Asclepius, as he said, clearly rejected the invitation of the god of plague by death and defended his human dignity.

The golden light exploded in the explosion of spiritual base annihilation, and the creatures in Nurgle's Garden screamed and quickly retreated, but they could not avoid the fate of being burned to death and completely reduced to nothingness.Amidst the heavy sigh of the loving father, a dead and dead land suddenly appeared in the lush garden that no living thing could set foot on. It was insignificant compared to the area of ​​the entire garden, but it was a stubborn scar that seemed to radiate forever. The heat of the damned.

At the top of the bell tower of Tyros Cathedral, Fujimaru Ritsuka angrily hammered his left hand, which was almost scorched by psychic energy, on the railing in front of him.Diglis felt her heart tremble as she looked at it, but she seemed to feel almost no pain. This movement made the railings made of ceramic steel make a clear and loud sound.

"...Somni, let the 'Plane Moon' locate this coordinate." She was obviously sullen, but her tone was quite calm. She even pulled up Chaldea's communication interface and used spiritual energy to re-heal her belt. While chanting the command spell with his left hand, he used his right hand to enter some seemingly contradictory coordinates on it.

Except for the fact that the coordinates themselves cannot exist, all the actions of Fujimaru Ritsuka are quite orderly, which gave the think tank director some misunderstandings, but Arjuna commented with certainty: "She is crazy."

"I didn't." Fujimaru Ritsuka retorted, "I just decided that after this war is over, I must go to the Garden of the Plague Lord for a pleasant spring outing. I was very calm and did not make any mistake about what I should do. What’s the order of things?”

Diglis was equally convinced from this: she was mad.
