Chapter 465 Extinction Meeting

“.”

After killing the Nurgle demon in seconds, Mortarion’s mood seemed to stabilize suddenly, and his tall body was particularly eye-catching in the diffused corrupt mist.

Under the helmet, his cold eyes were cast at the Chaos “Dawn Raiders” pouring out from a distance.

The next moment——

Sizzle——Puff——Bang——!!!

Violent sounds of breaking and bursting of flesh and blood rang out one after another.

Those Chaos “Dawn Raiders” had no room to fight back at all, and were killed one by one by Mortarion.

His movements were swift but accurate, and the sickle made a sharp whistle when it cut through the air, and each blow contained the power of destruction.

The body was split open, the armor was crushed, and the foul-smelling Chaos blood gushed out, staining every corner here.

In a short moment, all the Chaos “Dawn Raiders” pouring out of the portal had become twisted corpses.

Then, Mortarion took out a metal container at some point.

Then, the helmet eye monitor, which emitted a cold green light, focused on the wreckage of a "Dawn Raider" on the ground.

Without any hesitation, he stretched out his palm covered with molten armor, forcibly tore open the other's twisted chest, and violently pulled out one of the gene seeds.

Click!

The metal container opened automatically, and Mortarion put the gene seed into it.

The container to be sealed was tightly locked, and seeing that the portal connecting the chaotic realm and the physical universe still showed no signs of closing, Mortarion decisively chose to evacuate from here.

Even if he was good at fighting and killing, he would not waste energy and time here.

After all, the various experiences just now gave him more important things to do.

Then, Mortarion quickly withdrew from the underground city and returned to the surface, and let his armor "match" with the sojourner level, and then-

Swish-- ! !

A blue-green light column instantly enveloped Mortarion, and then the huge body of the original body disappeared with the light column.

At the same time, in the drop dock of the Sojourner-class dreadnought battleship;

A blue-green light suddenly flashed, as if the space was torn and quickly healed, emitting a dazzling and cold glow.

At the moment when the light faded, Mortarion, who was originally on the surface of Quekangtuo, reappeared on the central teleportation platform.

With his helmet unfolded, he looked like a statue that had not moved for ages, his eyes were still as sharp as knives, scanning every corner of the drop dock.

"Father."

A pharmacist in white armor had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Mortarion teleporting back, he immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

The pharmacist's voice was steady, but there was a hint of nervousness in his tone, obviously realizing that this trip was unusual.

Mortarion did not respond at first, and handed the metal container to the pharmacist, and then ordered in a low and slightly hoarse tone:

"Analyze the composition of this seed immediately."

He paused slightly, and continued to solemnly remind: "Remember, take the highest safety measures, don't let this thing contaminate this ship, even a little bit."

The pharmacist nodded solemnly, took the container with both hands, and said:

"Yes, father, I will personally supervise every step to ensure absolute safety."

Mortarion only nodded slightly after hearing the answer.

He didn't say anything more, but turned and walked away, with sonorous and powerful steps, quickly walking towards the bridge.

His huge body seemed to tremble even the air, and the sound of the collision between the armor and the deck was low and rhythmic, as if announcing some kind of authority that was difficult to disobey.

Along the way, he activated the ship's communication system and issued a series of instructions:

"From now on, this ship will implement comprehensive isolation measures. All personnel are prohibited from leaving the ship and the isolation area set up by the ship.

In particular, the company guards of Tiberus and the Man-eating Shark must undergo a comprehensive examination, including psychological evaluation and physiological testing. Any abnormal signs must be reported immediately without delay."

As soon as Tiberus and the surviving guards evacuated the underground city and arrived on the surface, they accompanied the seven Death Messengers with the help of a short-distance transmission device and came to the Sojourner-class ship.

Therefore, Tiberus and others belong to the "key observation objects".

Next, Mortarion continued to move towards the bridge in silence.

But what others did not know was that at this moment, Mortarion's heart was surging like a storm.

In the bridge not long after;

Motarion returned to the central control console and stood quietly in front of each screen, his cold face reflected in the green light of the hard light holographic screen.

Several key commands appeared on the screen, the most eye-catching of which were the buttons that had been translated into Chinese and had a physical touch, marked "Saturation Bombing" and "Extermination Order" respectively.

These words flickered in Mortarion's vision like burning flames, as if urging the impending destruction.

He looked out the porthole, looking at the surface of Queconto covered with endless ice and snow.

Even though he was several kilometers away, he seemed to still hear the whispers and groans of the corrupt tide on the surface.

Especially those earnest calls for help and persuasion from the "descendants".

However, the coldness and determination in Mortarion's eyes had long shown no signs of wavering.

His fingers moved slowly in the air, and finally touched the button on the holographic screen without hesitation -

The Extermination Order was officially activated.

Outside the ship.

As Mortarion raised his hand and touched the button generated by the hard light screen, the blade-shaped voyage-class dreadnought battleship also began to adjust its angle, aiming the "blade" at the tip of the ship at Queconto.

At the same time, multiple sets of launchers on both sides of the hull opened together, releasing nearly a hundred diamond-shaped metal columns of unique shapes and varying lengths.

At the moment these metal columns ejected the bright ion stream, they formed a huge diamond-shaped "◇" matrix in front of the bow with a perfect trajectory.

Each node of the matrix flashed with cold white light, and energy gathered in it, like a pulsating light band connected between the stars.

As soon as these metal columns were released, they gathered at the "blade" to form a diamond-shaped "◇" matrix.

When the last metal column was firmly embedded in the matrix, the entire diamond "◇" immediately started to operate, releasing a silent roar, and the amplitude went straight through the voyage-class hull, pushing its energy storage to the peak.

Ri~——咻——————! ! !

Then, a high-energy beam with a diameter of two kilometers suddenly burst out from the front of the matrix of the Sojourner class. The dazzling blue-green energy almost tore the space apart, like a sword of the sky, directly penetrating the area where the underground city is located.

The impact point of the high-energy beam trembled violently, and the surface structure was completely "disintegrated". Rocks and soil evaporated into dust under high temperature and impact, and the geological layer thousands of meters deep collapsed instantly.

The buildings in the underground city were as fragile as paper at this moment, and all creatures and traces of chaos were turned into nothingness.

With this destructive energy explosion, the shock wave of the burning flames spread rapidly.

The rolling flames, accompanied by a roar comparable to a natural disaster, swept around at a speed exceeding dozens of times the speed of sound.

Wherever the heat wave went, the earth was scorched black, and rocks, soil, and even everything were melted into hot "liquids", and any existence that tried to resist was wiped out.

Looking from the orbit, the surface of Kuikangtuo presented a doomsday picture.

The shock wave rolled and advanced all the way, covering the entire surface of the planet in flames and magma.

In just a few minutes, the original appearance of Quekangtuo's surface no longer existed, replaced by a sea of ​​fire and a lake of magma.

The main guns of the Sojourner class continued to spew out energy unscrupulously, and the entire planet seemed to be pressed into a furnace for forging, and every inch of land was reshaped in high temperature and radiation.

This doomsday scene also means that even if new life is born in Quekangtuo in the future, it will take millions or even hundreds of millions of years before life can sprout again.

At this moment, Quekangtuo is slowly approaching the end of history.

According to the original plan, the execution of the "Extermination Order" is nearing its end, but Mortarion is obviously not satisfied with this.

The main guns of the Sojourner class dreadnought battleship continued to spew out the wrath of annihilation under his command, bombarding the surface of Quekangtuo more and more fragmented, until-

Boom-! !

Until the area hit by the main gun began to collapse inward, the earth's crust turned into dust under the powerful energy, and the energy shock spread to the surroundings at an unstoppable speed, quickly spreading everywhere.

The long-accumulated energy inside Quekangtuo triggered a chain reaction, and a devastating collapse swept the entire planet.

The cracks spread like a spider web, the earth let out a desperate wail, and the magma deep in the planet surged to the surface like a raging sea.

Boom-boom--!

Finally, Quekangtuo could no longer withstand the devastating bombardment of the Yuju-class main gun, and completely destroyed the planet that had already been riddled with holes.

With the last "silent" muffled sound that tore apart the soul, the entire Quekangtuo exploded, and countless fragments burst into the deep space like stars, embellishing the dark universe like a burning flame.

Of course, this scene did not substantially affect the Man-eating Shark and the elite fleet of the Dawn Raiders.

Under Mortarion's earlier instructions, the ships quickly adjusted their defensive formations and took the initiative to deploy high-energy shields to block the impact of the planetary explosion.

At the same time, the crews of the ships were also performing precise operations, using flexible evasive trajectories to shuttle through the rapidly spreading debris.

In the end, the flying fragments and "energy flows" were thrown away, and the fleet still maintained an orderly array.

As a third-level civilization, the Forerunners were enough to easily crush the first and second-level civilizations, so the Forerunners' Sojourner class was enough to easily "annihilate" an earth-like planet.

"."

At this time, Mortarion stared through the porthole at the void where Queconto turned into dust, but the shadow in his heart had not dissipated.

Because what was the origin of the "Dawn Raiders" who crossed the portal from the chaotic realm and set foot in the physical universe?

Why could he sense that the other party was his offspring?

Also, why did the Nurgle demon he killed instantly call him "the most favored son of the loving father"?

All kinds of questions lingered in his mind, making Mortarion very unhappy.

Then, he ordered the crew members of the Dawn Raiders:

"The fleet remains alert, and the isolation measures continue to be implemented. It is strictly forbidden to enter the jump space again until we receive the next instructions from the Empire."

"Yes, father."

The adult Astartes responded respectfully, but also with a hint of worry.

Because they knew the father of the Primarch, they could vaguely feel that Mortarion was "wrong", as if their father was in a state of confusion, or even suppressing his anger.

For Mortarion, the safety of the fleet and the prevention of Chaos invasion are undoubtedly his top priorities at this stage.

But at this time, he is no longer just a simple commander, but also a son in deep confusion.

Mortarion stepped out of the bridge and walked alone to his rest cabin.

Although his steps were still as "powerful" as usual, as if nothing could shake his inner determination, but he knew that he had to find the answer.

Back to his personal rest and office cabin.

Here is also as usual, simple and cold.

As a Primarch, he is extremely restrained in his private space. There is no luxurious decoration, no scrolls showing achievements, or trophies from powerful enemies.

Of course, except for the Great Demon, it seems that no aliens or heretics can be called powerful enemies by the Primarch.

In this cabin, only the most basic utensils are placed, showing Mortarion's admiration for discipline.

"Huh"

He sat quietly in an office chair that could support his weight, closed his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing frequency, and tried to dispel the uneasy haze from the depths of his heart.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, quickly called up the hard light screen, entered the encrypted communication code, and initiated a communication request with his father in the main universe Meditation Hall.

This communication request was not just an ordinary report and exchange, but also full of his urgent desire to seek guidance.

Motarion knew that he could not solve the confusion in his heart with his existing cognition alone, so he placed his hope on his father's solution.

When the communication request was sent, he did not wait too long, and a clear "approved" word flashed on the hard light screen

Then, the screen switched, presenting a solemn and magnificent picture-

Father "sat" on the golden throne, surrounded by colorful lights, as if even the glory surrendered to his aura.

!

The moment Mortarion saw his father, all the doubts and depression in his heart seemed to surge up. He leaned forward slightly and said eagerly:

"Father, I have"

However, before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Sui Yang's hand.

His father's eyes were as deep as the sea of ​​stars, containing endless tolerance.

"I know."

Sui Yang's steady voice broke the brief silence, low but full of power.

Then, it seemed that every word penetrated the fog in Mortarion's heart, "I already know everything that happened on Kuikangtuo, and I understand your confusion, especially about why you met a group of your descendants.

Next, I will call all your brothers and sisters for a family meeting so that you will no longer have any confusion in your hearts.

It's time to let you know where the empire and mankind should go."
