Chapter 501 Seal Ring
Chapter 501 Seal Ring
Of course, the Primarch Guards and the Imperial Guards would not retreat just because of Hildra's words, so Hildra took out a ring engraved with the Imperial double-headed eagle emblem.
There was no luminous device on the signet ring, but when Hildra showed it, even the Sister of Silence seemed to see the dazzling divine light radiating from it.
Under the illumination of this light, even the dark cloud of plague that shrouded the Primarch subsided a lot.
The Emperor's Seal Ring, only those who carry out the Emperor's will can possess this token. The Emperor's Seal Ring does not need to be forged or verified. Any life can confirm at a glance that this thing comes from the Lord of Mankind, and the person who carries it is carrying out the will of the Lord of Mankind.
So the Custodians, Space Marines and Sisters of Silence no longer hesitated. They retracted their weapons and retreated silently and quickly. When they passed by the captain of the Primarch's guard, Hildra patted his shoulder, as if to comfort him.
Soon, Hildra was the only one alive in the huge medical sanctuary, and the Primarch lay half-dead on the medical chair.
She walked slowly towards the Primarch, holding the seal ring high in her hand. Under the illumination of the Emperor's divine light, the plague cloud that enveloped the Primarch dissipated as quickly as a puddle under the scorching sun.
However, how could a plague that could infect the Primarch be easily dispelled? When oppressed to the extreme by the Emperor's divine light, the plague cloud actually began to twist and scream, and finally erupted from the Primarch's body, and the power of chaos formed a hideous and distorted face.
The Emperor's light burned the Chaos Plague, but the Chaos Plague rushed towards Hildra despite the burning. If the Emperor could easily heal his offspring through an object at this time, there would be no need for Hildra to come here.
Seeing that the power of the signet ring could not suppress the plague, Hildra put the ring down. Then spiritual energy filled her eyes and she shouted like thunder:
"Go away!"
Before, under the illumination of the Emperor's light, the giant plague face was constantly dissolving, but it was still able to maintain its shape. When Hildra's words fell, it was like a heavy hammer hitting it, and the shape maintained by the plague was instantly shattered.
After all, the seal ring can only represent a tiny part of the Emperor's power, but Hildra who came here is the real one.
After shattering, most of the fragments were completely evaporated under the psychic energy of Hildra and the illumination of the Emperor's light, but a few fragments still escaped the strangulation. They let out a shrill cry and hid back in the safest place in the area - the Primarch's body.
Finally, Hildra walked to a place where she could touch the Primarch's skin without any risk. The dark cloud of plague that had been covering the Primarch had disappeared, but she knew that the plague had not been driven away. It was still there, and it had taken root in the Primarch's body. Once the external pressure subsided, the plague would devour the Primarch's flesh and blood and grow again.
"What a mess." Hildra looked at the unconscious Primarch, her tone unclear whether it was mocking or regretful.
"But the Pale Storm shouldn't stop here."
The power that the Emperor placed in a tiny ring could not completely save his offspring, and Hildra had no hope of this. She put the signet ring back into her pocket, and then her hat was slightly lifted up, and a black, sleek mechanical snake crawled out from under her hat, then crawled along her arm and finally wrapped around her hand.
She pointed at the Primarch. The little snake first looked back at Hildra, and after seeing Hildra nod, it crawled onto the Primarch.
The mechanical snake kept spitting out its tongue and moving around the Primarch's body, then it came to the Primarch's chest, where the Primarch was most seriously injured.
"His-"
The mechanical snake issued a warning, apparently it had discovered something unusual. This slow-moving little guy suddenly became excited. It wrapped around the neck of the original body at a speed that ordinary people could hardly react to, then opened its mouth and thrust in its venomous fangs!
It's no wonder that Hildra asked the others to leave early. With this attitude, nine out of ten people would think she was here to assassinate them.
After its fangs pierced the Primarch's flesh, the mechanical snake continued to twist and turn to adjust the injection angle. And what was injected into the Primarch's body from its fangs was not venom, but countless Blackstone robots.
Almost all Primarchs with external injuries can recover through their own strong physical fitness. Now the Khan's condition cannot be improved. The fundamental reason is the influence of the Warp. If you want to curb the influence of the Warp, nothing is more efficient than Blackstone technology.
But Hildra couldn't quite understand why those idiots had to make the healing unit like this? There wouldn't be any technical problems making it into a necklace or bracelet, right?
Normally, it only takes a split second for the mechanical snake to complete an injection that could heal or kill a normal person. Often, it's so fast that the target doesn't even realize they've been bitten. However, the Original's constitution is different from that of an ordinary person, and the plague that infects the Original is no ordinary thing either. Therefore, the mechanical snake's injection process is unprecedentedly long.
It took several minutes for the mechanical snake to pull out its fangs. At this time, the little guy who had completed the injection looked a little wilted. With drooping eyes, it quickly jumped back into Hildra's sleeve, but curiously poked its nose out from inside, wanting to see the subsequent condition of the treatment object.
From Hildra's perspective, the Blackstone robots began to swim and spread along the blood vessels in the Primarch's neck, like growing tree roots, but soon these robots passed through the blood vessels and spread throughout the Primarch's body, and then black ripples appeared under the Primarch's skin like the surface of water.
This is the performance of the Blackstone robots expelling the plague. The warp virus that infects the Primarch is "alive" and the virus itself has independent consciousness. Perhaps it is more accurate to call it a Nurgle demon parasitic in the Primarch's body. The plague demon feeds on the Primarch's flesh and blood to strengthen itself. When the Primarch succumbs, the plague demon will break out of the Primarch's body.
At this time, a war was raging within the Khan's body. The Blackstone robots were trying to drive out the plague and uproot its roots in the Primarch's flesh, while the Nurgle plague was also trying to destroy these outsiders.
Once the Nurgle plague shifted its focus away from infecting the Khan, the Primarch's own regenerative abilities began to manifest. With the aid of external potions and life support systems, the Khan's flesh began to heal at a visible rate. Broken muscle fibers tangled and joined together, sores sloughed and new skin formed, and even the massive laceration that nearly bisected him healed in a matter of minutes.
However, bonding does not mean healing. After Khan's body was bonded together, a sunken red scar was still left at the original wound site. Even the original body's self-healing ability or the technology of the Alien Dynasty were powerless to treat this scar. The only thing that can heal it is time.
The process of waiting for the Primarch to wake up and get better was a bit too boring for Hildra, so she simply jumped onto the medical chair and sat down. She swung her legs, rolled up the mechanical snakes in her sleeves, and whistled leisurely amid the continuous sound of artillery fire outside the palace.
As the wounds on the white giant gradually healed, the various indicators of the original body on the life support system interface were also slowly recovering.
But as all indicators gradually stabilized, one indicator on the life support system became even more chaotic: the Primarch's brain waves. Previously, the Primarch was in a coma due to the poisoning, trapped in a dreamless sleep, with only occasional brain wave fluctuations. But now, the previously calm line took a sharp turn.
Hildra saw that the Primarch's eyeballs were spinning wildly under his closed eyelids, which was a sign that the human was deeply trapped in a dream. Judging from the data from the instruments, the Khan should have woken up long ago, but something was pulling him, preventing him from getting out of the quagmire of dreams.
So Hildra took out the Emperor's Signet Ring again, blew on it, and then wiped it with her sleeve to make it look brighter.
Then she impressed the signet ring on the Khan's forehead.
