Chapter 264 The Rise of the Primarch: Thunder and Fire (Part 2)

"You just said that, that was lightning, right? You are the god that the Danes believe in, right? Your name is Sova or something? Shouldn't you be holding a hammer?"

"First, my name is Thor Constantine. Second, I don't use a hammer."

————During the Viking conquest period, Vito's conversation with an Anglo-Saxon in ancient England, before he was killed by Vito.

Bombs and laser beams were fired everywhere in the narrow corridor. Those whistling bullets smashed the lights above the head. As the lights were destroyed by the chaotic barrage, the corridor did not fall into darkness. It was completely lit up by gunfire. The dense laser guns and physical bullets whistled and sprayed dazzling flames.

The guards shot at the person walking at the end of the corridor in fear. The laser beams and bombs whistled towards him, but they would be instantly bounced and deflected in front of him. The dense artillery fire bombarded him, but all of them were hit on the surrounding walls and ceiling.

The shattered wall dust and bricks fell with a bang, and Vito strode forward on the broken dust. He walked calmly in the corridor, waving his fingers gently in front of him. His fingers seemed to be the conductor of a symphony. All the roaring bullets were deflected and hit the walls on both sides under his command.

The flashing gunfire completely engulfed Vito's face, but did not cause any harm to him at all. On the contrary, Vito ruthlessly harvested the defenders. His other hand waved in the air, and red-gold lightning whizzed out from around him. Those lightning balls that appeared out of thin air were suspended around him. The ball-shaped lightning leaped with countless electric currents and bombarded the walls and the ground, and also killed the guards in the corridor.

Lightning struck the guards one after another. The moment they were hit, they would turn into charcoal and fall to the ground after a short scream. The strong Bardock looked down at the guards who were knocked down beside him. His chest was instantly burned through, and his flesh and blood dissolved and collapsed, and even the bones underneath turned into brittle powder.

Bardock looked up and saw Vito walking forward slowly. He was like a death god in the corridor, constantly harvesting lives. The guards at the front had been slaughtered. Those who survived fled backwards in panic, but they were all burned to death by the current ejected by the ball lightning.

Their bodies fell to the ground with steam, and their eyeballs in their eye sockets were exploded by the current. One by one, the charred bodies fell in front of Vito, and he would step over those charred remains and continue to move forward. Golden lightning rose from his body, and those lightning swallowed everything.

Flesh, bones, and even steel will be shattered under his bombardment. Wherever he passes, there will be a pile of debris. The lightning that leaps and attacks autonomously keeps jumping between the ground and the wall. The guns hit by the current will be burned instantly, and the unfired ammunition will be triggered to explode in the magazine and the barrel.

The flames of the gun explosion hit Vito's feet, and the steel fragments hit the flickering psychic shield and disappeared. Vito walked forward slowly, stepping over the corpses and fragments and moving forward. His every step made those who were about to face him feel endless fear.

The guards around Bardock completely lost their courage as men. They were engulfed by fear. The fear of the enemy in front of them occupied their minds. These people shouted and fired randomly. They pulled the trigger continuously and fired meaningless bullets one after another. They didn't even know that all the bullets in their magazines were empty. They would continue to shout and pull the trigger of the empty guns, and their bloodshot eyes looked at the lightning in front of them with wide pupils.

Bardock watched as three more guards were killed by lightning. They collapsed to the ground, and the dust of flesh and blood powder flowed out of their empty eye sockets. Vito stepped over the corpses and continued to move forward.

"Alarm! Sound all alarms!" Bardock shouted to the guard beside him in front of the terminal. The man was hurriedly clicking the buttons on the screen, but those buttons did not respond to him at all. He continued to click the buttons randomly in panic.

"All systems are offline! Alarms, interference positions and all factory facility permissions are invalid! Sir, we are trapped!!" He almost shouted, Bardock looked at Vito who was coming and cursed loudly, "Close the second armored door, I said close."

No one answered Bardock. When Bardock turned his head and looked, he knew why. The guard's head exploded, and the cracked skull exploded like a grenade. His brains sprayed on the surface of the terminal and the surrounding walls. The powerless body sat limply on the ground and died completely.

Bardock cursed loudly and shot at Vito. He held the grenade launcher in one hand and shot while retreating. He pulled up the panicked people beside him and pushed them towards the door behind him, "Retreat! Everyone retreat to the inner court! Quick!"

The gray grenade launcher roared with every pull of Bardock's trigger. The vibrating gun body trembled continuously when the bullets left the barrel. Those bullets were instantly deflected in front of Vito, and one bullet even hit Bardock's own feet. He looked up at the terrifying golden death god, who was walking towards him with slow but unstoppable steps.

Bardock continued to fire fiercely at Vito. He knew it was meaningless, but people would always make some instinctive actions under extreme fear. It was a kind of biological instinctive desire to survive. He pulled the trigger continuously and fired bullets at Vito. After the entire magazine was emptied, he finally retreated into the door behind him.

Many guards retreated into the doorway, but a considerable number of them were still outside. They fired at Vito while retreating. The whistling lightning and their own deflected bullets hit them. These guys fell to the ground with a bang after being hit, and their bodies fell down in front of Vito with smoke.

Bardock cursed at Vito as he walked over. He pointed at the guards beside him, "Close the door manually! Close it immediately!" "But sir, we still have a lot of people outside, they" "You heard the order! Close the door!"

Bardock almost roared and gave the order. The guard looked at his comrades who were running screaming outside the door, and then looked at the golden god of death. In the end, fear completely overwhelmed his responsibility to his colleagues. He suddenly pulled down the wrench by the door. As the red wrench was pulled down instantly, the armored door at the end of the corridor also fell down with a bang.

The guard closest to the gate ran over screaming. He shouted and rushed towards the gate, but he was a step too late. The gate fell down with a bang, blocking them from Bardock's team inside the gate. The people inside the gate looked at the steel gate and listened to the series of screams outside. The screams lasted for a long time, but suddenly stopped at a certain moment.

Suddenly all the sounds disappeared, the screams, the sound of electricity and the sound of gunfire all disappeared, and everything outside the gate fell into dead silence, but suddenly in this dead silence, there was a loud bang from the gate, and everyone was scared by the sound and instinctively retreated.

Bardock and the guards stood behind the door. He looked back in the direction of the rune stone. Rune stones were inlaid on both sides of the steel arch in the center of the inner court. The rune stones arranged along the door frame were flashing, and a series of green and white halos tore a crack in the door.

That was what he had to guard. It was the mission given to him by Lady Phantom and her messenger. Bardock turned his head resolutely and looked at the gate. The remaining guards around him raised their guns in fear, but the fear in their hearts could no longer be suppressed. Every time the gate roared, their hands holding the guns would tremble.

The gate began to sag and deform inward with each roar, as if a force was constantly hitting the armored gate. With each violent impact of that force, the surface of the gate began to twist and sag, rivets flew out like bullets, and steel reinforcement strips broke instantly.

The gate was almost shaky, and the door frame deeply embedded in the wall around it was also shattered, and even the surrounding walls were cracking rapidly. Everyone looked at the gate that was about to collapse, and in the next impact of that force, the gate completely overturned. In fact, the door panel was directly knocked over, and the steel debris instantly smashed four or five guards into meat paste.

"Destroy the rune stones! Don't let the false emperor's people get them!" Bardock shouted and ordered the guards behind him. He did execute Bardock's order. The man ran towards the door frame with the rune stone with a gun, but he was shattered by lightning the moment he reached the front of the door and raised his gun.

The man's body instantly collapsed into ashes. Bardock turned his head suddenly and looked at the door. The lightning on Vito's body bombarded the almost collapsed door frame and wall and walked in. The guards in front of him shouted and shot at him frantically, but all those attacks were just meaningless elegy of their inevitable death.

Vito waved his fingers lightly, and lightning shot into the guards from around him. The ricocheting current bounced continuously in a very short time. Every bounce would kill a large number of guards. Almost in the blink of an eye, a large number of survivors were killed.

Bardock roared at the sight. He suddenly pressed down the control handle on his waist. The red button injected the purple hormone into his body along the hose at the moment it was pressed. The hoses inserted into Bardock began to push the hormone. As the purple fluorescent agent was injected into his body, Bardock's muscles began to swell rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, Bardock's body swelled several times. The bulging muscles made him grow rapidly. In a very short time, Bardock became as tall and strong as a space warrior. Those muscles were throbbing with eye-catching blood vessels. The whites of his eyes, swallowed by countless purple bloodshot, were torn apart from under his pupils. Bardock drew the chainsaw sword from his waist like an angry beast and rushed towards Vito.

He rushed to Vito at the speed of a space warrior. The raised chainsaw sword hit Vito's head with all his strength. The latter dodged the smashed chainsaw sword by sidestepping. The roaring chainsaw instantly smashed the bricks and tiles on the ground, and the whole ground exploded and cracked under the heavy blow.

The angry Bardock instantly pulled back the chainsaw. He swung the chainsaw at a speed far beyond that of an ordinary person. The blade that was almost impossible to catch whizzed past Vito's eyes. Vito leaned back and dodged the slash at the last moment. The roaring slices slashed past his eyes and cut off several of Vito's eyelashes at a very close distance.

Vito flipped backwards and moved away after several backflips. At the moment he landed and stood firm, Bardock also rushed up. He rushed to Vito like lightning, and large swollen blood vessels burst out on his arms like a space warrior. He howled and slashed the chainsaw sword towards Vito's eyebrows.

The roaring slice slashed towards Vito's head. He watched the roaring chainsaw fall and instantly punched Bardock in the abdomen. The punch with psychic energy hit the muscular abdomen hard. The fist hit like a cannonball, and the penetrating force instantly made Bardock lose his balance and retreat backwards.

Vito almost caught it. He turned around and punched Bardock on the wrist holding the chain sword. His palm was instantly opened by the force, and he grabbed the falling chain sword, and then slammed it with a sword. It penetrated Bardock's abdominal cavity.

The strong warrior wailed and retreated repeatedly. He knelt heavily on the ground, blood spurting out from the rotating slices of the chain sword. The tearing pain impacted Bardock's thoughts. The huge pain brought anger. He wanted to get up and fight back, but the chainsword penetrated his flesh and blood and made him kneel on the ground helplessly.

Vito walked up to him. The standing golden god of death was level with Bardock's head. There was nothing he could do. After all, although Vito was nearly 1.9 meters tall, a Space Marine was a Space Marine after all, wasn't he? At their size, they could even kneel down and look at Vito's eye level.

Vito looked at Bardock in front of him with his hands behind his back. He looked at the warrior kneeling on the ground in front of him. The latter slowly raised his blood-dripping eyes to look at Vito in front of him.

"You said you believe in the Phantom Queen. You are a follower of Slaanesh but you opened Nurgle's portal here. This is puzzling. Major Bardock, can you give me an explanation?" Vito looked at Bardock. Dark's purple bloodshot eyes already looked no different from those of a Slaanesh demon, with black pupils squeezed into a goat-like square shape.

"I will never betray them! I will not tell any truth to the puppet emperor's lackeys, or you should have seen the truth long ago." Bardock growled, blood flowing from his teeth. down, but he still endured the severe pain and said.

"The Emperor doesn't care about us at all! He doesn't care about any of us. He turns a blind eye to our pain. Everyone tells me that the Four Gods are the evil gods. Bah! The Emperor is the real evil god!" Bardock roared, Because he spoke loudly, he tore the flesh of his abdomen, and the blood flowed all over the ground under his knees, like a pool of blood.

Bardock looked at Vitor with anger, and every word he spoke was accompanied by splashes of blood, "I have fought for the Emperor all my life. I fought to the death for him in the Astra Militarum. When I When I retired and returned home, they told me that I would be treated like a hero and that we are the heroes of mankind.”

"Do you know what greeted me?! My wife, children, and children were executed as heretics by the National Church, but the reason was simply that the National Church wanted to expropriate our land to build another damn stupid church of theirs!"

"My son refused. He denounced them for having built too many churches. They were just trying to make money. Did the Emperor bless him? No! The state religion killed my whole family in the name of the Emperor! It took away my home, and I As a loyal warrior of the Emperor, I begged the Emperor for mercy and punishment for the sinners, but do you know what happened?"

Bardock roared, he resisted the chain sword to tear his body further and roared, "I knelt in front of the Emperor's statue for three days! Three full days! He didn't say a word! Those evil people of the state religion are still here Preaching his teachings and amassing wealth in his name, the bishops sit on mountains of gold and silver, while we are forever in pain!”

"The Phantom Queen's envoy found me. She gave me an opportunity to take revenge, to take revenge on the false emperor and his lackeys. I will not miss this opportunity!"

Bardock's teeth were stained red with blood, and a large drum of blood spurted out from his mouth. He stared at Vito with anger, "I don't want you to tell any truth, the puppet emperor's lackey, just kill me. I won't betray my queen!"

Vito looked at Bardock in silence for a moment. He sighed deeply and then opened his golden eyes, "Where is your hometown, Major? Tell me, and I will handle the rest."

"Another false promise from a false emperor? Save it." Bardock said resentfully, but Vito shook his head. He saw that there was no anger in Bardock's eyes, but pity and distress.

"Not this time, I promise you, the guilty person will pay the price." Vito stared at Bardock's eyes and said, the latter looked at him silently, Bardock stared at those golden eyes, staring at After thinking for a while with those eyes that contained endless power, the major finally spoke.

"My home is on Charon on the southern edge of the Ultramarine." "Very good, I understand, and I also know that you will not betray her, Major."

Vito pressed Bardock's shoulders. He looked into his eyes and sighed for a long time, "You are a brave warrior. When you go to her, remember to tell him that Vito Constantine expresses his gratitude to you." With respect, she will be kind to your soul.”

"You are a strange person, Vito Constantine, do it now." Bardock said, looking at Vito in front of him, who nodded slightly and grasped the chain sword on his abdomen. Vito suddenly Pulling it out, blood spurted out from the gap. In the severe pain, Bardock roared and suppressed his screams.

He hummed and lowered his head. He placed his head flat in front of Vito, who held the chain sword in both hands and raised it high. He was like an ancient knight who beheaded another respectable knight. Swinging down the chain saw, the sword fell and he fell down.

Vito held the chain sword with both hands and stood next to Bardock's body and sighed. After a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at the portal on that side. He walked to the flashing portal with the chain sword in hand and gave instructions. Looking at the horrific hell beyond the portal.

Vito's palm suddenly spread towards the ground, and a golden lightning struck the ground. The thunder quickly moved in a virtual circle along the ground. The lightning decomposed into several branches. The lightning carved a magic circle on the ground, and one circle surrounded it. The magic circle of the portal.

"Old fool, I know you're looking at me, move your ass, and prepare to pull me back." Vito said as he looked at the magic circle. Suddenly, golden light flashed between the runes and lines, like silent words.

Vito smiled, took out the pendant from his arms, looked at the small silver pendant, and looked at the space inside the portal. He stepped into it.

——

He stepped into the realm of Nurgle. When Vito passed through the twisted portal and the sparse and twisted smoke, Vito came to the most twisted place in the galaxy, the thing hidden at the end of the endless death and distortion of the subspace - the Garden of Nurgle.

In front of Vito was an intolerable and incomprehensible world, a living swamp composed of black stars and dying worlds, and a rotten galaxy composed of countless twisted things.

The worms of the universe gnawed at the infinite foundation, the galactic plague devoured all flesh and blood, and the endless hunger turned everything into deformed debris. This was the dark mirror image of the evil wind of life, and the most terrible blasphemy against life.

Vito's boots stepped on the living earth, and the squirming land made a sound like maggots under him. Those fat and thin diseased plants, like a cloud of smoke and a pool of oil, grew around them. Insects lingered above their heads, and the endless and tiny flapping of wings formed a violent ballad that tore apart all reason.

That laughter, countless wails sounded in pain and despair, the laughter that always cried for things that would never come, the painful laughter echoed in the woodland. Vito looked into the depths of the forest and knew that the manor of the Lord of All Things was there.

Vito sighed deeply. He looked at the sky above his head, which was covered by sick clouds and tree canopies. Vito looked at the eternally silent starry sky. Suddenly, lightning flashed in his eyes again. The lightning quickly spread from his eyes to his whole body, and the surging psychic power poured out like a waterfall.

That was Vito's full strength. Here he no longer needed to worry about any consequences. He could use his full strength.

And that was one of the most terrifying powers in the galaxy. It was a powerful force infinitely close to the four gods and the emperor. The surging psychic storm came with lightning and danced wildly. The plants in the Nurgle Garden were swept away and demolished. The tall plague tree burned and fell in the red lightning. Even the land screamed in its power.

The sky changed. Dazzling lightning flashed in the eternally silent starry sky. The dull sound of thunderstorms came quickly from the horizon. In a very short time, the sky turned into a world of storms. Endless thunder and flashing lightning tore through the poisonous clouds and shattered the twisted starry sky created by the Lord of All Things. The thunder fell from the sky and struck the garden, destroying everything.

Vito's body floated up. He floated up from the living land under his feet. His body had turned into golden light. Endless lightning shot out from his fingertips and bombarded the earth. The golden sun wheel flashed with thunder and instantly appeared behind his head. With the appearance of the sun wheel, the thousands of feet of light burned everything around.

The swamp was screaming, the forest was wailing, the scorching heat brought by the light burned everything, and the man who brought pain flew up. He was suspended in the woods and endless lightning fell on his head. The huge tree crown was shattered and burned in his lightning, and huge debris fell from around him to the ground.

Vito raised the chainsaw sword high, and countless lightnings quickly climbed around the chainsaw sword made by mortals. The sword body began to break in an instant, and all the shells, chainsaws and everything began to shatter. The exploded debris turned into fleeting sparks and scattered, and in the debris of the chainsaw, a lightsaber composed entirely of golden light was reborn in the core.

The lightsaber formed by the gathering of psychic power guided all the thunder in the stormy sky. The lightning gathered from all directions at the sword tip. The moment Vito fell back to the ground, he held the lightsaber with both hands. He suddenly inserted the blade into the ground. The thunder blade instantly penetrated the creeping stratum and pierced into its core. As Vito suddenly turned the hilt, the unparalleled power was released.

With Vito as the center, huge cracks began to spread around him. The broken land caused the forests in the Plague Garden to fall into the abyss of the cracks. Countless red-gold lightnings roared into the sky. Those lightnings bombarded into the storm sky and brought back a stronger force in an instant.

The power was so strong that the sky of the entire Nurgle Garden was covered with storms and rain. The roaring thunder even shocked the Lord of All Things in the manor. His fat and bloated body crawled out of his manor. His round eyes like smoke looked up at the sky and howled in pain. He witnessed the huge thunder bombarding his garden with his own eyes.

The entire Plague Garden began to burst into flames, and large tracts of forests were reduced to nothingness along with lightning. The squirming plants screamed in the flames, stinging the eternally diseased heart of the loving father. The shattered earth also cut the skin of the owner of this land. The destructive force was also transmitted to the body of the incarnation of this land. The pus on his rough and swollen skin burst and exploded, and his skin was also cut piece by piece in the splashing juice. Nurgle wailed in pain, and the voice of decay cursed the person who brought pain.

Vito heard his father's voice. He smiled and shrugged slightly, then immediately held the silver pendant on his chest. He poured his power into the pendant. Almost instantly, the pendant began to tremble and flicker, and outside the portal The magic circle also lit up with shining light, and the two forces were connected with each other. In an instant, Vito's body turned into a golden light and flashed into the portal.

The flash of light escaped before the final destruction. A moment after Vito left, the thunder fell to the ground, and the flashing electric light swept around with the bright light. Everything in the Garden of Nurgle, a huge light group came from a corner of the garden. It exploded, and the light swallowed up everything in its path.

The magic in the garden instantly collapsed and then collapsed. The chain of devastating disasters almost shattered part of the entire Nurgle Demon Realm. A large piece of Demon Realm land shattered and exploded, turning into a meteorite belt in the void background of subspace.

Not only in the garden, the powerful force also passed through the portal. The archway flashing with rune stones exploded and disintegrated in an instant. Father Nurgle's hissing cry of pain accompanied the surging force that shattered the rock formations of the factory and shattered the walls. With everything in it swallowed up, people in the factory screamed along the corridor and tried to escape, but they were all engulfed by the incoming flames.

As the flash of light rushed from the top of the factory to the sky, a huge explosion engulfed the entire factory. The guards outside the factory looked up at the cloud of fire that lifted up the top of the factory. The rising explosion surged from every corner of the factory. Out, the crumbling steel factory fell to the ground like a toppling giant.

Raging flames swept from around the factory, engulfing the surrounding guards and high walls. Large tracts of forest disappeared instantly in the sea of ​​flames. The huge rising fire clouds shot straight into the sky, and the shining fire engulfed half of the sky of the planet. , the atmosphere surged under the impact of the fire, and the sea of ​​fire spread rapidly along the sky of the planet. People in the distant city could look up and see the terrifying sky of fire.

Even in space, the raging flames on the planet's surface can be observed. In the distant nebula, Macragge's Glory hovers in the starry sky, and countless battleships gather around it to witness the planet's fire.

On the side of Macragge's Glory, Guilliman stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the churning sea of ​​fire on the planet's surface. Beside him, Cato Sicarius could no longer be proud. He, Bell and the others They looked at everything on the planet in shock, not just them, but many Ultramarines were here.

"Is this the power of God?" An Ultramarine next to Guilliman said in shock, but his comrades on both sides were speechless. They stood in front of the side window and stared at the burning fire with wide eyes. of fire clouds.

Guilliman frowned after listening to their words. His eyes suddenly discovered something. He discovered something from the planet-level psychic disaster.

Vito's power seems to have become stronger than it has been in ten thousand years, but why?

Guilliman was silent as he looked at the burning sea of ​​fire. He didn't know the answer, but a word suddenly rang out in his heart. He had heard it from countless people, a word that made him feel ridiculous, God-Emperor.

Guilliman spurned the words of feudal superstition. He believed in the truth of the empire and did not believe that there was a god in the world. All supernatural things could be explained by reason and knowledge.

But when he saw Celestine, and now witnessed Vito's power with his own eyes, the lightning and flames burning on the surface of the planet illuminated his eyes, maybe there was a reasonable answer to this, an answer that could be explained rationally.

But now, doubt appeared in his eyes, doubting whether the truth of the Empire that he believed in could be regarded as the real truth. Is there something else in the galaxy that he had never known about, and the Emperor had never told them? the truth.
