Chapter 847 The Earl's Betrayal!
However, the unexpected is yet to come.
Just as Shaddam IV was about to be filled with anger over the death of his friend, an amazing change began to take place in Count Hasimer.
The thorns that pierced his body seemed to be continuously transmitting some mysterious power to him, causing his originally aged and haggard face to quickly regain youthful vitality at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In a blink of an eye, Count Hasimer changed from a dying old man to a vigorous, handsome and unrestrained young man.
The skeletal muscles that were originally shriveled due to old age grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and each bone seemed to be injected with infinite vitality, becoming thick and solid.
As the bones continued to strengthen, Count Hasimer's body began to expand wildly, and his height rose like a blow, breaking through two meters, two and a half meters, and finally soaring to a height of three meters!
At the same time, his originally ordinary eyes also underwent amazing changes.
The color of his pupils was like a drop of ink dropped into clear water, quickly spreading and turning into a deep and mysterious dark green in an instant.
The rich green seemed to be a symbol of life, containing endless vitality and vigor.
Along with this change, a suffocating psychic pressure suddenly burst out from him, like a violent storm sweeping around.
This breath spread through the subspace and was quickly released to the entire known universe. After receiving this order, all the void viruses immediately changed from a chaotic and scattered state to a neat array of soldiers ready to go, waiting for the order of the Void King.
In this short moment, Count Hasimer successfully completed the amazing transformation from a mortal to a humanoid demigod.
"Oh~~, Nurgle, the great and kind father, this is really amazing!"
Count Hasimer's face was full of uncontrollable surprise, and his hands trembled as he stroked the crown on his head.
The moment he put on the crown, a surge of powerful psychic energy poured into his mind like a tide, and he felt that his mind was clearer and sharper than ever before.
Not only that, his eyes also evolved further under the influence of this psychic energy, and he could actually see the subspace scenes that ordinary people could not perceive. The mysterious dimensions hidden behind reality were now fully revealed in front of him.
At the same time, he also clearly felt the life force contained in all things around him, and the vigorous and upward breath made him intoxicated.
However, at this moment, Shaddam IV, who had been watching Count Hasimir, could no longer suppress his anxiety when he saw his change. He walked up quickly and shouted anxiously:
"Enough, Hasimir, return the crown to me now!"
"Sorry, Your Majesty, this crown has now been deeply pierced into my brain. Unless you order my head to be chopped off, it will never be taken off!"
Facing the emperor's order, Count Hasimir lowered his head slightly to show his head to the other party. The thorns had connected the Crown of the Void to his head, tightly.
Then, he slowly raised his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then changed his face to a playful expression, and looked at Shaddam IV with a provocative look, as if waiting for the other party to make a choice.
His eyes fell coldly on the extremely small Shaddam IV, with no intention of returning the crown that symbolized the power of the Supreme Void Virus.
"Hashimire, you are such a daring fellow, how dare you betray me and try to possess what I treasure so dearly? Do you want to die so badly?"
Shaddam IV's contemptuous expression hurt his hypocritical self-esteem. His originally dignified old face and neck instantly turned red like a ripe apple.
When he thought that this minister, who he once regarded as the most loyal, would betray him at this critical moment, the anger in Saddam IV's heart was as unstoppable as a volcanic eruption. It was simply unforgivable!
With his eyes wide open, he gave orders to the fully armed Saduka Space Marines around him without hesitation: "Cut off his rebellious head for me immediately, and let this shameless man get the punishment he deserves...!"
However, something unexpected happened.
Just before Shaddam IV finished speaking, a Saduka Space Marine who had been standing beside him in silence suddenly reached out with a strong and powerful arm at lightning speed.
The arm easily passed through the defense of the scrambler shield, tightly grasped Shaddam IV's head, and effortlessly lifted him off the ground.
The Saduka Space Marine stared expressionlessly at Shaddam IV who was lifted in the air by him, and slowly said:
"My old friend, have you forgotten that the first thing each of our Space Marines does when undergoing the ascension surgery is to implant a void crystal as the core in their bodies?"
As he spoke, Hasimir moved his face closer to Shaddam IV, his dark green eyes flashing with undisguised contempt and disdain.
As the king of the void virus and the champion chosen by Nurgle, Hasimir is the master of all space warriors. No matter how loyal he was to his master before, he will return to the command of the void king at this moment.
"Boom——"
The heavy metal door of the forging hall made a dull roar and slowly opened to both sides.
At this moment, a figure slowly stepped out of the forging room, and behind her were dozens of mechanical sages.
This person was Xiao. Every step she took seemed to contain a thousand pounds of force, and the whole space seemed to tremble slightly because of her steps.
At this time, Xiao exuded a suffocating and powerful aura. Now she was like a human black hole, and her aura was as heavy as a living planet.
What was particularly eye-catching was that there was an ink-black diamond mark on her forehead, flashing a mysterious and deep light. It was a strange phenomenon caused by the distortion of light on the other person.
This was the mark left after absorbing the dark iron. After the cyber aura swallowed the dark iron, it was digesting it with all its strength.
So it left a mark on Xiao's forehead, proving that the process was not over yet, and Xiao's life level was also rapidly sublimated.
If something very interesting hadn't happened outside, Xiao would definitely not have come out so early. After all, in her current state, she was too dangerous for ordinary humans.
