Calvin in the real universe is still busy preparing for the smooth growth of his new legion.
The entanglement between government affairs and Yu Fanren's colleagues involved so much of his energy that he didn't even have time to sort out the fruits of his recent battles.
But the enemy will not wait for him to slowly adjust, and the Chaos Gods in the subspace will not sit back and watch his growth.
Although he tried his best to hide himself, after several inevitable battles in Chaos, the evil gods of Chaos still knew more or less about his existence.
Among them, Tzeentch is the most prominent. In the battles since his birth, Gein Galvan has had the most contact with this heir.
And not long ago, Calvin even had the honor to see a glimpse of His essence.
This god with authority over wisdom and hope, conspiracy and tampering, obviously had an extraordinary interest in Calvin.
Based on the evil taste engraved in the bones of this god and his twisted instinct for all knowledge and information.
Under His deliberate manipulation, the news that Calvin might be a Primarch was spread covertly by countless demons with His blood flowing through it.
But the divine soul possessed by Calvin was retained by him, and even the demon princes who were projections of his will were isolated from the truth.
The subspace has never been calm, but it has become more lively in His mocking and malicious eyes.
The behavior of several fallen Primarchs who have been promoted to Daemon Princes after hearing about Calvin is his favorite repertoire.
What is different from this unpredictable behavior is the reaction of the demons of Nurgle and the Death Guard.
Nurgle, the god in charge of life and death, disease and evolution, has learned of Typhons's fall.
This kind of perception has extremely high timeliness, because the latter's fall in the mortal world led to the fragmentation of the God-chosen position, and its theological significance will be reflected in real time in the subspace where idealism prevails.
Bright red blood rain fell in Nurgle's garden, and thousands of twisted trees wailed and withered under the corrosive rain;
Large areas of land were cracked and deserted due to the loss of mortal faith. Countless rotten demon fly pupae eventually died before breaking out of their shells because they did not have enough souls to support them.
Rainfather Rotigos was the first to feel the strangeness of Nurgle's Garden, because the death and depletion brought about by desolation is the environment it hates most.
It angrily raised its tree staff and wanted to raise the tide of subspace, forcefully descend on the land that dared to challenge the majesty of Father God, and use "abundant rain" to wash away those ungrateful mortals.
Kugas also cast a curious gaze from the depths of the garden, because the relationship between the beloved children of the Father God is delicate, and it rarely sees the anger of Father Rain.
But what Typhons and Mortarion did in the Storm Star Territory was like injecting a vaccine into the physical universe. Just after it made a slight move, the terrifying existence that was triple cursed had emerged from Tai in the center of the galaxy.
Ra cast an indifferent gaze on it.
Father Yu put down the staff in his hand angrily, and decided to hold back for a while. It looked around with a guilty conscience, but there was no longer any sight of Kugas here.
After making such a big noise, Mortarion naturally also learned about Typhons's death.
Like every father who is at odds with his eldest son, after losing his eldest son, whose original name was Typhon, Mortarion's first reaction was not to rejoice in his misfortune, but to harbor deep-seated hatred for Calvin.
But he was also afraid of the existence that created him. Although he had many complaints against the emperor in private, it was obviously difficult for him to face that existence directly.
In this way, under various considerations, the two huge camps did not directly intervene in Calvin in the real universe;
And just when this farce was about to come to an end, an unexpected force, after becoming aware of Calvin's existence, launched a carefully prepared hunt for him.
Abaddon, the heinous man who inherited the mantle of the traitorous Primarch Horus Luperkar.
This was the only fallen Astartes who could complete the bet with the gods after the death of Horus and forcefully bear the election of the four gods as a mere mortal.
Warmaster is the name he inherited from Horus, and the Black Legion is the powerful legion he built bit by bit from the defeated rebels.
This is the 757th year since Abaddon, Warmaster of the Black Legion, ended his infamous tenth Black Crusade, and it is also the 500th year since he prepared for his next campaign against the Empire.
Due to the location of the Eye of Terror and the equally complex affairs in Abaddon's hands, Calvin's presence should not have attracted his attention so quickly.
However, the impact of Taifeng's death far exceeded his expectations. The first company of the Death Guard, without a leader, began to return to the Garden of Nurgle in an organized manner.
And this influence is not even limited to the Death Guard itself, but other Chaos warbands that believe in Nurgle, such as the "Purge Army" and others, have also been affected and begun to waver.
This kind of loss of personnel is certainly not a phenomenon that Abaddon can tolerate. There is still a Mortarion behind the Death Guard. He cannot and does not want to intervene and can only pattern their departure;
But the loss of other scattered warbands is something he cares about very much.
Abaddon is different from ordinary Astartes. His reverence for the Primarchs is limited to when they are powerful enough, rather than superstitious worship.
He obviously would not have any awe for a being like Calvin who did not have a legion and did not have enough glorious achievements.
On the contrary, hunting down a new Primarch before it truly becomes a threat is a rare way to gain both fame and fortune.
Fortunately, he still has basic rationality and is aware of the inhumane side of this existence.
In line with the caution of a rich man not to sit in court, this cunning ruler, after careful planning, made a deal with a guy who had no sense of presence after becoming a demon.
He is responsible for using a sacrifice to ask for help from the gods, so that the power of the gods can temporarily transfer the guy's old friend away.
In return, this guy will replace Abaddon himself and go to the real universe in person to bring back Calvin's head.
The fleet to hunt Calvin thus began to be planned. After Abaddon dispatched a powerful warband directly under his command, he also saw the long-silent legion and the dilapidated flag as he wished.
"Bring him back gloriously and cruelly, or die there stupidly and sadly."
Abaddon looked at this "cousin" and said without respect, and the latter also carefully observed the powerful aura of the four gods elected by the black warmaster, which was exactly the same as his father during his lifetime, and nodded silently and left.
