With a loud bang, the first virus bomb exploded over Guangming City, and the huge explosion spread the deadly load in the warhead into the atmosphere.
The virus unleashed on the surface of Valedor was the most efficient killer in the Inquisition's arsenal, designed to kill all living things on a planet's surface, including the vast majority of humans, including the Astartes.
Disgusted with using it.
It has a unique name, Life Eater.
The Bioeater Virus is an extremely greedy life form that can cover the entire planet's surface within minutes of spreading.
The virus is capable of penetrating power armor and respirators, corroding and destroying any biological tissue it encounters, turning it into a sludge-like mess of decay.
In just half a day, the entire planet's vegetation and jungles will be transformed into a pool of mud lakes, and at the same time
Rapid decay will also produce a large amount of flammable gas.
After the Tribunal's extermination fleet arrived, after a discussion in standard Terra time, they decided to adopt this plan - Valedor is of great significance to the National Church. They will not accept the Tribunal's complete destruction of the entire planet, but the erasure of the planet above.
Life is possible.
In order to achieve good results, the Inquisition dropped eight virus bombs at a time. These bombs can murder a world hundreds of times.
They are projected to different latitudes and locations, covering the entire surface of the planet.
Soon, the bombs that fell into the atmosphere began to spray the virus. The virus followed the air currents through forests and plains, swept through aquatic algae communities, passed through mountains, crossed rivers, drilled through glaciers, and swept across the entire planet.
At this moment, only the fallen civilians and the Astra Militarum who had no time to retreat were left in Valedo.
It was a difficult decision for Soshyan, but Marcus was determined - no mortal except the Astartes could leave the planet.
The inquisitor's decision was unshakable, so the soldiers who survived the bloody battle were still guarding the Ministry of Justice fortress without knowing it, and their heavy equipment had long been transported away.
When the virus spread, the soldiers in the fortress fell to their knees. The virus penetrated their respirators. The deadly corrosive factor fused in the virus structure dissolved the exposed pipes and armor joints, or from the damaged parts.
The weak point of loss will take advantage of it.
The virus dissociates the connections between cells at the molecular level, dissolving its victims into putrid puddles of flesh within minutes, leaving only decaying armor dripping with blood.
Even those who hid underground died in agony, and when they closed the sealed safety door it was discovered that they had brought the deadly virus in with them.
The virus spreads rapidly among the hundreds of millions of civilians in Valais, almost as fast as a thought. Just as a victim has just inhaled the vicious contamination, the virus has already jumped to the next target.
People died on the spot, with flesh and blood flowing from their skulls, their nervous systems disintegrating, and their bones becoming as weak as jelly.
Bright explosions arose in this viral feast, fueling the deadly reaction of corruption.
The powerful lethality of the virus itself is its worst enemy, because if it cannot find any organic host that can help them spread between victims, the virus will quickly eat itself.
The state-religious cities and their affiliated state capitals on the surface of the planet were wiped out in a matter of minutes. Hundreds of millions of people screamed and died in severe pain. Their bodies that betrayed their will fell apart and turned into decaying flesh and blood.
Yarrick watched as the huge display screen showed darkness blooming like evil flowers on the surface of the planet. The vast black ring continued to expand, swallowing everything at an alarming speed, leaving only gray wasteland behind.
A wave of corruption extended from another area on the surface, and two pieces of black matter gathered together and continued to spread like some kind of terrifying disease.
"Then...what is that?"
"You just saw it, this is a trial."
Soshyan, standing next to him, said softly.
Yarick recalled the horrific corruption scene in the ground-transmitted images - flesh and blood disintegrated before his eyes, and black corruption swallowed up everything around him.
This memory made his stomach twist.
That's what's happening in Valedo, that's this trial.
The young political commissar felt as if his blood had been drained.
The entire world was soaked in pure death, and he felt a little echo of the fear that befell the residents of Valedo, and such fear burst out from the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. This was his
Concepts that the mind cannot bear.
More importantly, he left his soldiers behind.
When he woke up from the coma on the battlefield, he was already in the medical room of the Unbound Soul. It was Ustad who snatched him back from hell.
But he is the only one.
He was the only survivor of the entire 4337th Infantry Regiment.
"You are their commander."
Soshyan said, a little sadness mixed in his voice.
"Remembering these warriors and telling these sacrifices, people must know."
Alex nodded numbly, the huge shock and grief of what was happening left him speechless.
"Come on, you have to go."
"Walk?"
Alex asked in confusion, his eyes still staring straight at the death of the world.
"where to?"
"leave."
At first, Yaric let him lead him, his feet unable to do anything except take steps one by one, but when he saw Soshyan leading him to a man at the edge of the room,
He began to back away warily.
That was an Inquisitor and the commander of this Inquisition fleet.
After hearing the footsteps, the inquisitor turned to face them, his face as old and shriveled as old leather.
Soshyan stopped in front of him and said:
"Judge Wende, I need your help."
"Captain Soshyan, do you need my help?"
The judge looked a little surprised.
"What troubles you?"
Soshyan turned his body sideways, revealing Yarek behind him.
"This is Commissar Yarek and the temporary commander of all imperial troops on Valedo."
Alex could see a hint of realization on Wende's face. He closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable roar after his identity was exposed.
"I know this, Marcus told me."
Surprisingly, the other party seemed very calm.
"He asked me to keep you safe while he was gone. I think I understand his intention now."
With a sigh, Wende looked at Alec.
"Sebastian Yarrick."
The judge ordered, his quiet voice filled with a sense of power.
