This is a work of art, a great idea and a great story that comes with it. I really enjoyed reading through it. I support this wholeheartedly.
Amazing biome, another evil. Say Corruption - a Lawful Evil biome(why lawful, well, orbs in it have perfect shape, same goes for altars), Crimson - a Chaotic Evil biome, a crazy worlf of flesh and blood and now Contaigion/Corrosion a Neutral Evil biome, a force of pure evil that has no order, but is not a chaotic one. It is a biome of death, like the undead theme in many games and settings. We do have zombies at night, what if they all were created in the Contagion?

Not sure if this has been said before, But...
The Rotted Fork and Ball O' Hurt are supposed to be weapons to help you defeat their respective biome bosses
The Rotted Fork allows you to stab at the Creepers when they fly at you, as well as the BoC itself, And very likely take no damage from either of them
The Ball O' Hurt, if you're brave, or smart enough, can be used to hit every single section of the EoW... No damage is not assured with this method though
The Vilethorn can also allow you to beat the EoW without taking a single hit if you're careful enough while dealing lots of damage
The Crimson Rod can allow you to damage (and thus send back) some of the Creepers, but is about as useful against the BoC as the Ball O' Hurt is against the EoW when trying to avoid damage
I could suggest an alternative to just copying both weapons from the corruption/crimson with some sorta yoyo or similar weapon, extending your reach towards the Behe-Moth's bindings and thus making atleast the first phase easier, or a weapon that's effective against the second phase
--Editional Notes--
Possible Meelee-type Weapon Replacement Types:
Yo-yo
Boomerang
Possible Magic-type Weapon Replacement Types:
Arcing spell
Or just keep the vilethorn
I think you could keep the vilethorn in there anyways
Honestly, It's all up to you if you take my suggestion(s)

this is really really great, but it took me a few days to realize that there's no possessed weapon type enemy
i don't know if anyone's pointed this out yet but i'm too lazy to check

Can't this be a mod even if it's not accepted?
With Tobbvald's permission, of course it could be.
But someone still has to make it, and this would not be a small project. Months of work, just as a quick guess.

Maybe it could be a spear of some kind? A Molded Spear?

Good idea. I like it almost as much as the sclerepugnant idea.
(If you havent seen it then you should at least look at it.)

Ooh this is absolutely perfect for my main character cause I base my characters off of my own original characters and my main one is centered around diseases plagues etc. Sadly right now the best she can do is the crimson's necrotic flesh

Is there a support banner for this?
Also, just one thing. With this, it will make the chance of getting any of the 3 biomes more different. So, in case your character ever needs something from one of the other biomes, and you don't want to wait to make a new world only for it to be the one you already had, there should be a game mechanic available once one of your worlds is in hardmode where you can choose your evil biome before you make it.
Also, I don't think that there needs to be a new Night's Edge, just make your special sword combine to make the Night's Edge. (Considering the Crimson Sword makes the Night's Edge)
Other than that, this is beautiful.

That's already in the game.

Is it a PC-only mechanic?

I don't know if it's pc only, but when creating a world you have a choice between corruption crimson and random, but even if you choose random the progress bar for the world generation will tell you which evil it has
