Warhammer 40k: Terra Collector

Compared to the "father" who didn't care about him, Mortarion felt more loved in the father's garden. In the embrace of plague and virus, the son of death found the meaning of his existence.

Ten thousand years of watching made Mortarion's hatred for the Emperor grow stronger.

Looking at the towering spires of the hive city in the distance, a hint of resentment flashed in the Son of Plague's pupils, which were flowing with pus.

"Hypocritical Emperor, after ten thousand years... I have once again set foot on the land that belongs to the Empire! The pain and humiliation you brought upon me back then, I will repay the Empire double."

"It won't be long before the generous blessing of the loving father will spread to every corner of the galaxy! You and your damned Imperial Truth will be swept into the dustbin of history and forgotten."

Mortarion's vicious curse echoed in the silent hive! The Emperor's statue, thrown to the ground by the civilians, stared at his offspring without saying a word...

Surrounded by Plague Marines, Death's Son boarded the central elevator to the upper levels of the hive.

Yes, Mortarion's presence in Onswold was no accident.

The purpose of Death's trip is the alien creation that can control Blackstone Fortress - the Eye of Darkness.

In order to complete the Twelfth Black Crusade in the most perfect manner, Chaos Warmaster Abaddon recruited two allies for himself in the Warp.

One of them is Mortarion, the Primarch of the Death Guard, and the other is the former Lord of Prospero!

"Wonder Pony" - Magnus.

With the prophetic power of Lord Prospero, the betrayers easily located the exact location of the Eye of Night! This ancient alien creation is currently located in the treasure house of the planetary governor.

The planetary governors and nobles who are living a life of luxury in the upper echelons of the hive city do not know that their filthy lives have entered a countdown.

…

Onswold, beyond the orbit of the planet.

A subspace crack appeared without warning in the space near the planet, and soon after, two damaged Imperial warships returned to the physical universe from the dangerous Sea of ​​Souls.

These two warships were the Eye of the Emperor and the Salamanders' battle barge that had previously set sail from Purgatory.

According to the original plan, this subspace voyage across two star fields would only take three months to reach the destination.

But in the chaotic and crazy subspace, frequent accidents always make all plans become waste paper.

The first half of the voyage was calm, but just as the Emperor's Eye was about to approach the Hazy Star Region, a strange warp storm stirred up raging waves in the Sea of ​​Souls.

The turbulent waves blocked the battleship's route, and under the influence of the subspace storm, the navigator couldn't even observe the light of the Astronomican!

Just when the Emperor's Eye was about to lose its way, a brilliant golden light covered the entire battleship! That was the great power of the Lord of Mankind.

Under the guidance of the Lord of Mankind, the Eye of the Emperor finally passed through the warp storm with difficulty and arrived at the Gothic sector in the Hazy Star Field.

When the light of the star once again shone on the Emperor's Eye, the crew on the battleship cheered! Everyone was praising the Emperor and his great power!

But in the midst of such joyous atmosphere, the expressions of the Primarch and the Living Saint were extremely solemn.

Through the porthole of the Emperor's Eye, the two could clearly see the Imperial world [Onswold] tens of thousands of kilometers away.

At this moment, Onswold has completely lost its former prosperity! The starport above the planet's orbit is empty, and the planet's atmosphere is filled with ominous green mist.

The entire planet was dead silent. Apart from the constantly rolling green sea of ​​clouds, there was no other movement on the huge planet.

Even a fool could tell that something had happened at Onswold.

Under the will of the Primarch, the two warships began to sail towards Onswold at the fastest speed.

After a moment, the battleship hovered above the orbit of the planet.

The divination array installed on the Emperor's Eye sounded a shrill alarm. Even though they were hundreds of kilometers apart, the Primarch and the Living Saint could still clearly feel the sickening power of chaos.

"This is the power of the evil god Nurgle!" Celestine frowned, "Why are the followers of Nurgle appearing here?"

The Primarch did not answer the Living Saint's question, and in this case, silence was enough to say a lot.

It is no coincidence that the power of Nurgle appeared on Unsvold! Everything that happened on this planet is most likely related to Abaddon.

But there is no point in thinking about these questions now. The most urgent task at the moment is to determine the whereabouts of the Eye of Dark Night as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the Emperor's Eye was equipped with a scanner from the Golden Age! After recording the material spectrum of the Dark Hand, the scanner began to search the entire planet for objects similar to the Dark Hand.

Huge amounts of data were collected by the scanner every second! Before the battleship's Thinker system was filled with huge amounts of data, the scanner finally found a similar target.

The target location is right at the planetary governor's residence in Onswold.

There is no doubt that the planet's surface is full of dangers! The plague and virus from the Garden of Nurgle fill the planet's atmosphere, and the Chaos Demons that emerged from the cracks in the warp are watching in the dark.

Going to the surface of the planet under such circumstances is definitely not a wise choice.

But the Eye of Night is too important to the Empire! After careful consideration, the Primarch decided to take a risk.

In order to avoid making too much noise, the Primarch only brought the Guards and the Living Saints with him! They will go to the planetary governor's mansion to perform the recovery mission while trying not to alert the Chaos Demons.

Under the gaze of the Fire Dragon Sons, the "Orion" gunboat, unique to the Imperial Guards, slowly took off! The gorgeously painted golden gunboat drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then completely disappeared in the dangerous poisonous fog.

The Orion gunship's database stores all the terrain data of the planet. Thanks to the assistance of this data, the gunship can move freely in the thick poisonous fog.

According to the original plan, the gunboat would land directly in the Governor's Palace so that the Primarch could evacuate quickly after completing the recovery mission.

However, according to the enemy radar on the gunboat, a large number of unidentified creatures were gathering outside the Governor's Palace.

The only creatures that could roam around in such a situation would probably be Chaos Demons.
