Warhammer 40k: Terra Collector

According to statistics from the Military Affairs Department, the level of activity of the traitors in the Hazy Star Region has increased tenfold compared to before.

Such an abnormal behavior naturally alerted several governors of the Misty Star Region. For the Empire, the most important thing in the Misty Star Region is the fortress world of Cadia that suppresses the Eye of Terror.

The Eye of Terror is a giant subspace rift that is several light years long and is large enough to accommodate an entire fleet.

Once the fortress world of Cadia guarding the Eye of Terror is lost, the traitors hiding in the Eye of Terror will be able to rush out unhindered.

The Eye of Terror and the surrounding space will become a springboard for the betrayers to invade the Empire. From then on, the Empire will never have peace under the iron hoof of the betrayers.

In a sense, the fortress world of Cadia is as important as Holy Terra!

Therefore, as soon as the betrayers showed any unusual movement, the star governors immediately mobilized the forces scattered throughout the Hazy Star Field to go to the Eye of Terror to support the fortress world.

But what the Governors did not know was that their decision was exactly what the Chaos Warmaster wanted to see most.

Under the orders of the governors, more than two-fifths of the troops were transferred to the Eye of Terror! Except for the space region near Cadia, the defense of the entire Hazy Star Region was extremely empty.

At this critical moment, a strange subspace storm visited the Misty Star Region! The raging waves set off by the subspace storm blocked all star language and routes in the star region!

From this moment on, the entire Misty Star Region became an isolated island with no connection to the outside world! Under the conspiracy of chaos, the loyalists in the entire star region will be as lonely and vulnerable as a lonely boat in the wind and rain.

…

Hazy Star Region, Gothic Star Region, Hive World [Onswold].

Onsvold was an extremely prosperous trading world. Before the warp storms enveloped the Obscura, thousands of merchant ships took off and landed in the starports in the planet's orbit every day.

For the planetary governor of this planet, every merchant ship that comes is a windfall! Relying on the taxes generated by merchant ship trade, the nobles living in the upper echelons of the hive city live a life of luxury every day.

This is a paradise for the nobles, but for the poor living at the bottom of the hive, this planet is almost like hell!

As a trading world, Onsvold does not have the ability to produce food! The huge amount of food consumed by the entire planet every day is transported from other worlds by merchant fleets.

Food is not a very profitable commodity, so few fleets are dedicated to transporting food! As a result, the price of food above Onswold has always been high.

An ordinary person's day's salary cannot even buy enough black bread for a full meal.

In addition to the trade in goods, in this extremely prosperous imperial world, the most profitable job is to be a worker in a corpse starch processing factory!

I have to say, this is really a great irony.

When the planet was at its most prosperous, the lower-class civilians still couldn't fill their stomachs! And now that the trade routes were cut off, the food shortage on the entire planet had reached an extremely serious level.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians die of hunger every day, and dissatisfaction and anger are accumulating among the lower-class civilians.

In order to prevent the lower-class civilians from rebellion due to hunger and to protect the interests of the upper-class nobles, the planetary governor is ready to solve this group of ungrateful and unruly people once and for all.

In the third month of the Warp Storm, the planetary governor's personal guard blocked the passage between the upper and lower levels of the hive.

At this point, the imperial subjects living at the bottom of society had been completely abandoned by the nobles.

Pain, hunger and despair, endless negative emotions enveloped every civilian.

Domestic garbage, rats in the sewers, and even the corpses of their own dead species...all organic matter was thrown into the starch processing plant, but even so, death and hunger were still everywhere.

At this extremely desperate moment, the savior of the common people appeared!

It was a religious organization called "Father of Love".

The leader and preacher of the organization brought a magical plant! Under the catalysis of some green "nutrient solution", the plant took root, sprouted and bore fruit on the cold steel.

The tempting fruits with sweet fragrance were distributed to every civilian, and the juicy flesh soothed the soul of every hungry person.

In just a few days, the "Father of Kindness" became the faith of almost every commoner! Even the most devout believers of the state religion converted to the Father of Kindness driven by despair and hunger.

Of course, the "Father of Kindness" is not some savior of the common people! The god worshipped by this religious organization is Nurgle, the Kind Father, one of the Four Chaos Gods.

As mentioned before, every gift from Chaos has already been secretly marked with a price.

The fruit that the "Father of Love" provides to the civilians is not a certain plant, but a demonic entity from the Plague Garden.

Every fruit eaten by the common people is actually the seed of a demonic entity! The moment it enters the human body, this vicious creature begins to grow quietly.

After a few weeks, the seeds of evil have taken root and sprouted! When the enchanting blood-red flowers bloomed from the flesh and blood, a great sacrifice to the evil god Nurgle was ready.

Under the manipulation of the bloody flowers, tens of millions of imperial civilians "voluntarily" gave up their lives and souls.

Endless flesh and spirits formed a vicious sacrifice! The intense emotions generated when life and soul dissipated tore the curtain of reality and illusion, creating a subspace rift in the physical universe that connected to the highest heaven.

Under the devout prayers of Nurgle's believers, a strange figure emitting green aura walked out of the crack.

Along with it came countless virulent plagues and epidemics.

Plague and the power of the subspace began to erode the hive city, and plague plants that should not appear in the physical universe began to grow wildly! The plague that was enough to kill ordinary people instantly spread in the bottom of the hive city, and all the bacteria and viruses were shouting the same name -

Mortarion!!!

Mortarion was once the Primarch of the XIVth Legion, the Death Guard, but in the Horus Heresy ten thousand years ago, the Sons of Death betrayed the Great Emperor.

The noble Emperor's own children fell into the arms of his benevolent father Nurgle, and the Death Guard Corps, which once carried the rise and hope of the Empire, has now become the "plague pigs" despised by the loyalists.

But Mortarion did not regret his betrayal!
