Chapter 985: Mortarion's Rebellious Heart

"This is what the loving father meant, do you understand?"

Mortarion fell to his knees with a look of despair on his face, the creepy laugh echoing in his ears.

The Nurgling next to him was looking at him smugly, as if everything was under control.

"You have to understand, this is Nurgle's kindness, do you understand?"

Following these words, a rich green spiritual energy surged through Mortarion's body like boiling water.

He clearly felt that his originally strong body was gradually becoming twisted and deformed, and his muscles and bones seemed to be kneaded by an invisible big hand.

At the same time, endless pain hit his nerves like a tide, wave after wave.

Every time a wave hit him, he almost fainted, but what was even more terrifying was that the pain actually slowly changed.

At first, it was just pure torture, but gradually, a strange warmth permeated it, just like the love that a father gives to his children, which seems strict but is actually full of care.

"This is the love of your loving father. You must accept it..."

The disgusting Nurgling had crawled to Mortarion's side at some point, stretched out a pair of small hands covered in mucus and emitting a foul odor, and slowly touched Mortarion's face. When it was about to touch his cheek...

"boom!"

A loud noise suddenly sounded.

Mortarion suddenly exerted force and grabbed the thin and short body of the Nurgling with lightning speed.

His eyes were burning with anger, and he roared, "Who do you think you are? How dare you be so presumptuous to me!"

Before he could finish his words, he exerted a little force with his hands, and the Nurgling exploded instantly without even having time to scream, turning into a ball of sticky green liquid that splashed everywhere.

"Roar?"

A low and shocking roar came from the depths of the thick fog.

As the roar sounded, a more intense and unbearable pain surged into Mortarion's body like a tide. He felt that every inch of muscle in his body was torn apart and every nerve was burning.

"Great and loving Father, please give me another chance!"

Mortarion endured the severe pain and raised his extremely heavy head with difficulty, staring straight at the mysterious green mist in front of him.

His voice was trembling and filled with anger: "I swear, I will make those running dogs of the false emperor pay with blood, and make them pay a heavy price for the crimes they have committed!"

As Mortarion prayed, the green mist seemed to calm down a little, but it still exuded a heart-pounding pressure.

"This will be your last chance. Remember, my mercy is not infinite. If you fail again, only destruction awaits you..."

A majestic and cold voice came from the fog, like a judgment announcement from the abyss of hell.

"I understand, great and kind father!" Mortarion's heart tightened and he responded quickly.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the pain in his body gradually ease, as if a pair of invisible hands were gently soothing his wounds.

Gradually, Mortarion found that he was able to stand up slightly. Although his body was still very weak, he had at least regained the ability to move.

"grown ups……"

Typhons walked carefully to Mortarion's side, his green pupils fixed on Mortarion in front of him.

"My loving father asked me to help you, I hope you..."

"I know, you don't have to say more."

Mortarion snorted coldly, grabbed the sickle and left.

Taiping Star Region

Scalus Sector

Heffert-3

A company of the Covenant Angels Chapter was trapped on the planet, resulting in them not receiving any messages from the Empire.

The Guardians of the Covenant are a successor chapter of the Dark Angels, formed at an unknown time, but they are indeed descendants of the Dark Angels.

The Covenant Guard operates primarily in the Pacific Segmentum, with a particular emphasis on supporting expeditions to the Halo stars and hidden regions.

They received special honors for their deeds during the invasion of the alien race Lilith: defending the entire sub-section from the evil alien race's conquest.

The Chapter is noted for its monastic ethos, continually learning from the teachings of the Emperor and his Primarch Lion El'Jonson.

Reflecting this attitude, their vehicles and power armour are often covered in inspired religious texts taken from tomes sacred to the Adeptus Astartes.

These Space Marines dressed in silver and black are relying on a fortress for defense, and outside the fortress is an endless swarm of Tyranids.

They came to this planet originally to suppress a rebellion of Chaos followers, but by mistake they attracted a squadron of Tyranids.

In a short period of time, their air advantage was swallowed up by the swarm, and the remaining members of the company had no choice but to retreat to this fortress.

"We are in urgent need of support! Those damned insect swarms are frantically breaking through our defenses!"

Captain Wald shouted loudly, his face solemn and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead.

At this moment, he was holding a heavy grenade launcher tightly and nimbly seeking cover behind the towering city wall.

Looking around, I saw countless knife and gun bugs crawling densely under the city wall.

These hideous Zerg creatures surged in like a tide, and their sharp claws left deep marks on the hard ground.

The knife worms were agile and nimble, climbing up the steep city wall with all their might, attempting to completely devour the target in front of them.

At the same time, the brave and fearless Space Marines of the Covenant Guard and many members of the Planetary Defense Force did not retreat. They closely relied on the defense line and launched a thrilling and desperate battle with the Zerg.

"Boom boom boom boom!!!"

Suddenly, there was a series of deafening explosions, flames shot up into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.

Dozens of knife bugs that had just climbed up the city wall were instantly engulfed by the raging flames and turned into charred debris.

However, what was frightening was that more knife bugs continued to pour in from all directions, making shrill hissing sounds and pouncing towards the people who were defending their positions with their fangs and claws bared.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!”

The flames of the explosive bomb were spraying in front of the muzzle, and one knife worm after another climbed up the city wall, but was shot down in an instant.

"careful!"

At this moment, the city wall collapsed in an instant, and an executioner rushed out from the thick fog.

"boom!"

A Space Marine was crushed in an instant, and the Zerg swarm poured in from the gap.
