2nd Primarch

Chapter 21: Nurgle's Conspiracy



Duke's eyes flashed with inspiration. "The biomagnetic field seems to have a lot in common with the spiritual practice method."

In an instant, my mind opened up.

I picked up a pen and began writing on the draft.

At the same time, I used my subtle mind to look inward and observe my own synapses.

If there is a potential difference at the synapse, an electric current will definitely be generated.

According to Duke's calculations, these weak electric currents even hide the secrets of creation.

The distribution of nerves is extensive and numerous.

Duke observed just a piece of skin on his arm.

Every square centimeter contains 75 centimeters of nerves, 6,400 nerve endings, 1,200 contacts, 20 cold spots, 90 hot spots, and 150 pressure points. The bioelectricity generated by these nerves is as high as several amperes!

"You are truly worthy of being the Primarch's body."

"This data doesn't look human at all!"

Duke complained in his mind.

His body structure was too complex to be observed.

He decided to start with simpler goals.

Duke changed his thinking and only considered the work done by the operation of the electric current, no longer investigating its essence.

This time, the calculation went very smoothly.

"It's as expected. There is indeed some connection between the biomagnetic field and the spiritual cultivation method."

"It is necessary to use spiritual energy to control the microscopic and macroscopic electromagnetic forces at the conscious level."

"The control requires very high precision. It needs... Damn it!"

During the attempt, a flash of lightning exploded on Duke's arm. Although it did not cause any harm to his demigod body, it scared him.

Ignoring this episode, Duke continued to record:

"It probably requires entering the third level of the fixed spiritual realm and reaching the level of spiritual projection to control this precision."

[Biomagnetic Field Technology: Magnetic Field Push, done!]

After Duke gradually perfected this technology, he planned to continue deriving it further.

But after a series of failures,

He finally put down the pen.

"The follow-up of biomagnetic field technology is gradually moving towards idealism."

"It seems that it will be difficult to complete the subsequent deductions with the current spiritual cultivation technology alone."

"Perhaps we could consider capturing a green-skinned orc and studying him?"

"The ancient sage technology contained in my power of thought seems to be following this path as well."

After completing the experiment, Duke made a final summary.

It is worth mentioning

that the biomagnetic field technology must be used in conjunction with more advanced spiritual practice.

Extreme emotions can cause changes in bioelectricity, and huge fluctuations in bioelectricity will directly affect the biomagnetic field.

This also leads to the fact that once a member of the Heart Network gives up spiritual practice and focuses on the biomagnetic field, it is easy for the following to occur: the greater the emotional fluctuations, the stronger the biomagnetic field; and the stronger the biomagnetic field, the greater the emotional fluctuations.

This situation, where the crazier the person, the stronger he is, and the stronger the person, the crazier he is, is actually not unacceptable in the Warhammer world.

But Duke didn't want to see this.

He was mainly worried that such excessive emotional fluctuations would affect the operation of the Heart Network.

It's okay for a few people, but if thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions of members of the Heart Network generate extreme emotions that exceed the Heart Network's capacity, the server will overload.

After making a summary, Duke accessed the Heart Network.

He uploaded the results of his past few months one by one.

[Fetal Breathing Level Mind Cultivation Technique: Angel of the Seat; Available on the Heart Network Mall. Price: 1000 points]

[Blessing: Soul Fire, can burn the essence of Chaos Demon, dispel the negative energy of the subspace, purify curses, and other abilities; available in the Heart Network Mall. Price: 0 (Prerequisite for purchase: must complete the Fetal Breathing Level of spiritual practice)]

[Biomagnetic Field Technology: Electromagnetic Propulsion; practicing this technology can increase your strength rapidly and dramatically and master many magical abilities. Price: 0 (Prerequisite for purchase: you need to complete the Fetal Breathing Level spiritual practice)]

The reason why the price of Soul Fire and Biomagnetic Field Technology is set at 0 is because he intends to make these three abilities the standard for members of the Heart Network. After forming the Second Legion in the future, with these abilities, they will demonstrate sufficiently distinctive characteristics.

After uploading them, Duke did not look at the reactions of the Heart Network members.

He exited the Mind Network directly, sat in his chair, and stretched.

At present, the capabilities derived from the Mind Network's computing power are already sufficient, and he needed to digest them well.

In the next few days, while completing his daily practice, Duke also inspected the implementation of policies.

The renovation of battleships and power armor had shown encouraging progress.

It would be completed soon, providing support for the next great expedition.

With the promulgation of various policies that benefited the people, the mental outlook of the imperial citizens in this world had obviously changed.

Most people had regained their enthusiasm for their future lives.

Apart from finalizing policies and pointing out the general direction, Duke basically did not participate in the implementation process.

Mortals had their own affairs, and as a demigod, he was not suitable to get involved in them. Well, he was just lazy and aloof.

Except for making decisions when necessary, he didn't want to pay any attention to the people in the state religion and the parliament at other times.

Duke would rather stay in his room and calculate various technologies without sleep than face those eyes filled with fanatical beliefs.

A few days passed like this.

Ophelia VII, the Mechanicus foundry.

Duke was standing on a high platform in the factory, watching the workers ringing the big bell to build a starship.

Suddenly, Sister Efilar, wearing silver-white power armor, hurried over.

"Your Highness Duke, something happened."

After walking up to the Primarch, Efilar bowed and spoke eagerly.

"If there is a real emergency, there is no need for so much formality, Efilar."

"Tell me, what happened?"

Duke's tone was gentle, and invisible spiritual energy spread out, calming the panic in the elder sister's heart.

It seemed that something truly unusual had occurred to make a great nun, who had fought in various worlds, so panicked.

"We have discovered a highly infectious disease that can cause extremely aggressive infections in the population."

"This virus has an extremely high infection efficiency. It has infected several worlds in just a few days!"

"The symptoms are that the infected person will indiscriminately attack the surrounding creatures, accompanied by laughter, skin ulcers, etc."

"The medical sisters of the Sisters named it Laughter Syndrome. This symptom only infects mortals, especially the rich and powerful, and spreads very quickly."

After listening to Efilar's words, Duke nodded slowly, sat his huge and heavy body on the chair, and looked thoughtful.

In fact, in his heart, he had already cursed that bastard Nurgle.

In this world, any strange virus will show special or even extraordinary symptoms.

That must have been the work of Nurgle and his ilk.

He didn't expect that after only a few months of peace, Nurgle would cause trouble again so soon.

Wouldn't it be better to spend a few more years studying the Mind Network and then quietly open up the cheats?

"Did you bring back any infected?"

After complaining in his heart, Duke asked the elder sister.

Efilar nodded. "I brought back an infected Astra Militarum soldier."

She then asked two doctors in full protective suits to bring up a man wrapped in a sealed cabin.

Efilar was still thinking about answering the question, but unexpectedly, a miracle occurred.

When the patient was carried in front of the Primarch, the infected person, who had been in a frenzy, suddenly calmed down, and even the festering parts of his body were healing rapidly.

The entire person seemed to have recovered without any medicine.

When Efilar saw this scene, her eyes filled with fanatical admiration.

"Praise the Emperor! The Son of God's figure is so holy. He is the savior of all people. All suffering will stay away from him."

The devout followers of the state religion and combat nuns around them seemed to have witnessed a miracle. They knelt on the ground enthusiastically and offered their devout faith.

Only Duke narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous light.

Nurgle concocted something like this to disgust people, right?

Such a virus obviously wants me to go to the epidemic area in person.

As long as I go, the plague will be alleviated. This is a naked conspiracy!
