So angry, so angry, so angry!
Why does this fool, who has nothing but his looks, get the favor of that beautiful princess from beyond the stars?!
Seeing Kasjia sneakily slip into Apothecary Melusine's room, the assassins squatting on the eaves hatched a new plan.
To harm Fulgrim, apart from using the ancient nuclear weapons of the planet, there was no chance of success.
But... even as an almost invincible demigod, she still had a weakness.
And that was her male attendant, that guy named Kasjia!
Although he had also undergone some genetic modification and was tall...
...judging by his movements, he was just a flower vase with no ability or combat experience!
Furthermore, he didn't have the indestructible, heavy armor from beyond the stars.
As long as they could successfully capture him, Fulgrim would surely be hesitant to act, for fear of harming him.
The key to breaking the deadlock was him!
"When he comes out of the room again, we'll make our move!"
"Yes."
"So you heard that? They're all after you."
Apothecary Melusine glared at him irritably.
Even at night, she was still wearing her medical armor, and seemed to be studying something in her room.
There was a very strong smell of formalin.
Even for an Astartes with their powerful stamina, a guy like her who worked non-stop for the sake of research was truly rare.
"I really don't know what you're doing here. Did Fulgrim break your pelvis again?"
"No, I just wanted to come and see you."
Kasjia looked at her with a cheeky grin.
"...Save it for the ghosts. No one knocks on someone's door in the middle of the night just for that."
"Of course I wouldn't knock on someone else's door in the middle of the night, Apothecary. But you're different."
Kasjia slowly walked towards the door of the room she was in.
"What are you doing!"
And in the next instant, Melusine suddenly moved in front of Kasjia, blocking the door.
The mechanical appendages of her backpack even unfolded in that instant, baring their fangs.
"All bark and no bite."
"Apothecary, I think... some of your little secrets can't be hidden from me at all."
Seeing her so determined, Kasjia could only smile and turn back, sitting down on the sofa in the hall.
"...Miss Melusine."
"You wouldn't want the news that you have the Blight to be leaked, would you?"
Melusine: "!?"
The atmosphere in the room instantly turned several degrees colder.
"How did you know?"
She still stood in her original position, her expression cold.
"Believe it or not, I have the ability of foresight."
"Just like when I predicted that the xenos would attack before the battle in the Dalinite Nebula."
"And looking at your expression, I guessed right again, didn't I?"
After all, that's what the original text said.
The Blight, as an incurable terminal illness, was a stubborn disease that the Third Legion had to eliminate.
Logically, after Fulgrim had personally ended the lives of all the patients on Chemos, there should be no more Blight in the legion.
But the Chief Apothecary, of course, he was still called Fabius back then. As one of the patients of the Blight, he had hidden it all with his strong desire to survive and the convenience of his duty as the Chief Apothecary.
This was also why Fabius was so keen on human experimentation.
He needed to understand the truth of Astartes creation and wanted to find a way to cure his own disease.
"What do you want?"
After an awkward moment of silence, Melusine asked abruptly.
"Hm?"
"You have no reason to come here just to remind me of my illness."
"Tell me, what do you really want?"
"What do I want? Is there even a need to ask?"
Heh heh...
Kasjia showed a wicked smile and approached her bit by bit.
Melusine was short for an Astartes, and with Kasjia's already tall stature, in just a few steps, he had her cornered against the door.
"Don't, don't come any closer! S-stay away from me!"
Melusine wanted to punch him, but Kasjia easily caught her fist.
This was no longer an era where she could knock Kasjia to the ground with a single punch.
With her weakness held against her, she could only lean against the wall, turn her head away, and let a single tear fall.
A large, somewhat warm hand unfastened her pauldron and climbed onto her body—
Heat.
She felt as if her internal organs were being burned by a fire.
She felt that this body was no longer the body she was familiar with...
...so hot...
Under Kasjia's large hand, her body was as if it were on fire...
Melusine couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.
Kasjia, he... he actually...
...he actually didn't do anything.
"OK, it's over."
Kasjia let out a long breath and, somewhat tiredly, withdrew his golden-red-cracked right hand from her shoulder.
"Eh?"
Melusine opened her eyes, a little unsatisfied.
"Check it. Is the Blight in your internal organs all gone?"
So hard to control.
Kasjia looked at the melting frost under his feet and felt a wave of dizziness.
This was a psionic ability that had gradually awakened after the golden-red cracks had appeared on his right hand.
The Fire of Creation.
After being burned by the fire in his right hand, as long as Kasjia willed it, he could make the burned object be reborn.
Even the Blight, which even Melusine was helpless against, had been easily solved by Kasjia now.
"Phew... but speaking of which, it's not that easy," Kasjia said, pale-faced, as he collapsed onto the sofa, gasping for air.
As for the golden-red cracks on Kasjia's right hand, they were still flickering with a faint light.
And it seemed that the cracks were even tending to extend up his wrist.
But it seemed Melusine was so shocked that she stood there, motionless.
"What?"
"A little disappointed that you didn't get the treatment you were expecting, Apothecary?" he said with a grin.
Kasjia was doing it on purpose.
He just liked to be a little cheeky.
"No... my illness... is it really cured?"
Her voice trembled. As a patient of the Blight for decades, she knew better than anyone how painful this disease was.
And now, those withered internal organs, those spreading symptoms... had all disappeared without a trace, like the wind.
She... could finally... live properly!
"Alright, alright, Apothecary. Don't cry, okay?"
"I cured you, but it comes with a price," Kasjia continued.
"Whatever you ask, just say it."
"First, from now on, you are not allowed to conduct any human experiments that are outside the scope of the Imperial Truth."
"This is very important."
Visibly, Melusine's face fell.
As a genius biologist with no taboos, she did not like this request.
It would greatly limit her research.
"And what if I don't comply?"
"If you don't comply, you don't comply. I've already cured you. I can't control what you want to do."
As he spoke, Kasjia stood up and walked towards the door.
"But I believe you will comply."
"Because I am your—"
"☆Mother☆Fucker☆"
He turned back with a smile and gently closed the door.
Malal-hath-kith: Really? I don't believe you. (probes the flame)
Malal-hath-kith: Waaaah!!!
