Alex ignored Ku'gath's enticement.
Instead, he silently adjusted his breathing rhythm, preparing for battle.
Ku'gath left the sedan chair and walked towards Alex.
The Great Unclean One's body was over seven meters tall, bloated, like a moving mountain of rotting flesh.
"That corpse is a liar; he can give you nothing. After death, all that awaits you is complete annihilation or endless suffering."
"But if you join Nurgle's Garden, your fate will be completely different."
"Father Nurgle's Garden is a paradise for all living creatures; nothing dies there."
"From the smallest virus to the largest beast, everything can be resurrected from the mud."
"No death, no pain, suffering will become a sweet and lasting pleasure."
Alex pointed his blade at Ku'gath, "You talk a lot of nonsense, just like your master, making one feel disgusted."
"You truly are an obdurate fool."
Ku'gath was enraged by Alex.
It spun its great sword above its head and brought it down.
Alex dodged the blow.
The great sword struck the ground with a boom, creating a large pit and sending countless shattered stones flying.
"I will capture you, then drag you into the Garden, and you will be trapped there forever, accompanied by many plagues, until you acknowledge us."
Ku'gath said, while swinging its fat, pus-filled giant hand to grab Alex.
Alex dodged again, leaving a deep wound on its arm.
Ku'gath felt pain and let out a low growl, but it also seized the opportunity.

The sticky palm burst out with a Warp energy, condensing into a shining spear that instantly pierced towards Alex.
The passive skill [Shield of Faith] activated on its own.
A golden light shield appeared beside Alex, deflecting the Warp energy spear.
The clash of the two forces caused an explosion, and Alex was forced to retreat to dissipate the impact.
Ku'gath's body was fat and bloated, but it did not affect its agile movements at all.
It seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, intending to overwhelm Alex.
The great sword in its hand swept horizontally, creating a loud whooshing sound.
Alex had no choice but to parry the great sword with his Holy Judgement Blade.
Clang ~
Blades clashed, a collision sound rang out, forming a terrifying shockwave.
Alex's tiger's mouth felt numb and subtly painful.
Immediately after, Ku'gath delivered another heavy blow, making Alex stagger back.
As expected, it is Nurgle's most favored Dependents.
Even if only a portion of its power was projected, it could still steadily suppress Alex.
"It seems you haven't received much blessing from the Emperor, you're not strong enough yet."
Ku'gath laughed, "You are destined to be Father Nurgle's."
Alex jumped back, dodging the opponent's swing, "You really talk a lot of nonsense."
During the fierce battle, Alex seized Ku'gath's opening, leaving a wound on its abdomen.
But Ku'gath also took the opportunity to shatter his helmet, exposing half of his face to the air.
Plague viruses invaded Alex's body through his mouth and nose.
The evil power of the Warp caused his face to show signs of decay.
His powerful immune system quickly defended, annihilating all pathogens that had entered his body.
A golden glow appeared, dispelling the Warp's evil power, restoring his complexion to its original state.
"What a noble face, just like Mortarion's."
"After bringing you back to Father Nurgle's Garden, you will surely become very good friends."
Ku'gath said joyfully, "Give up your resistance, embrace Father Nurgle."
Alex said nothing, but instead thrust out a sword fiercely as his response.
He would never surrender to the Gods.
"Foolish."
Ku'gath showed an angry expression and launched an even fiercer offensive.
On the other side of the battlefield, Tenjiro and other Players were struggling to block the demonic tide.
"I'm numb, there are really too many demons."
Several small hell missiles shot from the back of the exoskeleton armor controlled by Little Fatty.
They caused explosions in the demonic tide, tearing apart swathes of enemies.
But the number of enemies was endless.
No matter how many were killed, they would immediately be replenished.
"We'll be exhausted to death."
Zigman abandoned his unpowered exoskeleton armor, jumped out of the cockpit, activated his Power Sword, and hacked at the charging Plaguebearers.
Tenjiro controlled the chainsword of his exoskeleton equipment, tearing open a Plaguebearer.
"Fighting like this is indeed not a solution; we must destroy the anchor points between the Warp and Holy Terra (Earth/Reality)."
"Sea Turtle, go contact Old Bird and tell him to activate the augur to scan the entire Rock Hive City."
"There must be other altars within the Hive City; Nurgle's holy numbers are three or seven, and the summoning ritual must also conform to these numbers."
"Understood."
Sea Turtle nodded, then opened communications to contact Old Bird, who was staying on the Imperial Glory.
Soon after, Sea Turtle looked at Tenjiro.
"You were right, the augur detected two other areas with abnormally high Warp energy readings."
"Old Bird has sent the map coordinates, what do we do next?"
Tenjiro quickly opened his data panel to check the areas with abnormal Warp energy readings.
He marked a location.
"What else can we do? We must find a way to destroy all the altars."
"Zigman, you take people to destroy this altar marked on the map."
"Understood."
Zigman dealt with a few enemies, then left the battlefield with several veteran Players.
They took compressed explosive packages and rushed to the target area.
"Blood Pigeon, can you hear me?"
Tenjiro called out to the flight squad on the communication channel.
"Yes."
Blood Pigeon replied.
"You go destroy the other altar at the coordinates; it's too far from the ground troops and you'll have to pass through enemy lines, so it's up to you."
"Okay, leave it to us."
The flight squad commanded by Blood Pigeon dropped their ammunition at the position, then headed to the other altar.
"Hold the line."
Tenjiro shouted to the remaining Players, "If we lose, we lose everything."
If this battle failed, Planet Atoma would be corrupted into a part of the Garden.
Everything the Players had worked so hard to gain would turn to ashes.
"Let's go all out."
"The time has come to prove our loyalty, for the Emperor."
"Old Bird, give us a few more rounds of orbital bombardment according to our positioning to suppress the demonic tide."
"Don't worry about whether we're there or not, just bomb."
...
The Players' fearless actions deeply moved Aying.
He vigorously encouraged the soldiers and personally took command on the front lines.
"For the Emperor! Hold the line."
"Perhaps we cannot return alive, but the God Emperor's glory will be with us."
Colonel Griffin commanded the artillery unit, providing fire support for the Players.
"Calibrate parameters, use a creeping barrage with the God Chosen's front line twenty meters as the boundary, fire."
The Genestealer soldiers also fought with a suicidal belief.
When the demons charged, they shouted the Emperor's name and perished with the enemy.
The Gene Stealer Patriarch, lurking deep within Tirien Hive City, also observed this war and the God Chosen through the eyes of these Genestealer soldiers.
He was planning his next move.
On the battlefield, the battle between the two sides became increasingly fierce and brutal.
Zigman and several veteran Players formed a task force.
They abandoned everything, running wildly, only seeking to reach the altar as quickly as possible.
There weren't many demons along the way, but there were many rebel soldiers and Cultists.
They charged fearlessly at the Players, intending to prevent the Player squad from destroying the altar.
After a brutal and fierce battle, the exoskeleton armor worn by Zigman and the other Players all popped up red warnings of low power.
But they also successfully broke through to the vicinity of the altar.
"The Gods always want us to kneel, but humanity will never yield."
"In the Emperor's name, let those demons see what the art of self-detonation is."
Realizing that he couldn't break out anymore, Zigman gave the order to detonate the explosive packages.
"For the Emperor."
"For Demacia."
"Feel the charm of the explosion."
The Players detonated the explosive packages they carried amidst cheers.
A deafening explosion rang out.
Towering flames swept out, destroying the ritual altar.
After losing one altar, the Warp Storm was weakened.
Ku'gath and the other demons were also considerably weakened.
Alex seized the opportunity, leaped up, and brought his Holy Judgement Blade down towards the opponent.
Blades collided, and the immense force made Ku'gath stagger back.
Missiles from afar also whistled in, landing on Ku'gath's body.
Along with the explosions, rotting flesh splattered.
Ku'gath's fat body showed astonishing wounds, revealing its decaying internal organs.
"I can't drag this on any longer."
Ku'gath could feel its power fading.
When Alex attacked again, Ku'gath abandoned its defense, allowing the opponent's sword to pierce its body.
Then, a terrifying Warp energy lightning bolt was released from its hand.
The Shield of Faith automatically appeared.
The two energies caused a terrifying explosion.
Alex was sent flying, crashing heavily into the ruins.
"Originally, you wouldn't have had to suffer so much."
Ku'gath dragged its great sword and walked towards Alex, who was struggling to get up.
At this moment, a Leman Russ Tank accelerated, rumbling and rushing over.
"For the Emperor. For Guide Sir."
Fanatical shouts came from the loudspeaker.
The tank's muzzle flashed with fire.
Shells were fired one after another, hitting Ku'gath's body and exploding.
But Ku'gath didn't care at all, as if these shells were just tickling it.
Facing such a situation, the Leman Russ Tank did not retreat; it still accelerated at full throttle, charging directly towards Ku'gath.
"Annoying fellow."
Ku'gath swung its great sword, splitting the Leman Russ Tank into pieces.
"For the Emperor."
A non-commissioned officer crawled out of the shattered tank.
"What a pathetic fellow."
Ku'gath leaned down to look at the mortal, "After sacrificing so much for the Emperor, what do you get in return?"
"Loyalty."
The officer used his last strength to pull the fuse of the cluster bomb on his waist.
