Assembling the Treasure-Hunting Team

During the Void Hunter's voyage, Nimrod first summoned Mikel and Malena for a briefing.

The Chief Apothecary, holding Data Slate, began to speak.

"Father, the modification surgeries for all 73,311 candidates across 29 regiments in Vostonia have been completed."

Ultimately, 41,523 new Shadow of Orders were born, and only 404 unfortunately perished, thanks to our Physicians.

After Malena Scala accepted the compliment with a smile, Mikel continued.

"The remaining losers survived and became members of the Auxilia."

"Nineteen thousand four hundred and thirty-eight people failed to complete the first modification surgery, while the rest underwent an average of eleven modification surgeries. Their combat effectiveness was generally stronger than that of other Auxilia."

"Very good."

Nimrod in satisfaction, activated his Spirituality, and looked at the "Apothecary".

He examined Mitchell closely and discovered that "The Apothecary's" body was not in a balanced state, but rather a mixture of red and white.

You have not yet mastered the power I have given you.

"Father, as you can see, I haven't yet."

"Being busy Supervision the legion's transformation has left me no time for anything else."

"At the same time, the herbs I've collected are difficult to combine. So far, I've only managed to concoct five medicines to treat ailments like diarrhea in ordinary people, but they have no effect on Astartes."

After thinking for a few seconds, Nimrod Lu spoke.

"The Triken system is still in its pristine state; you'll find the herbs you need there."

"Temporarily designate the Triken system as a site for large-scale transformation."

Based on his understanding of the Old Man in Yellow and Malcador, he knew that once the Emperor and Malcador learned that he had subdued a Knight World, they would summon him to Terra, hold a welcoming ceremony and celebration for him, and announce the submission of the first Knight World.

Meanwhile, the Primarch has been monitoring the Legion's construction progress on the Gloriana-class Battleships. The last time they received a report from Mars was when they had just arrived in the Daxos system.

According to the report received, the Great Sage in charge of the construction project estimated that it would take another year and eleven months of Terra time to complete, and it would be time to return to humanity's Homeworld.

"I have received reports that the Second Legion has taken over the defenses of the Crystal Illusion Realm and has begun expanding into neighboring star systems."

"The rest of the Vostonia teams have already boarded their ships and returned. I will order them to proceed directly to the Triken system."

"Father, I will do my utmost to bring more Shadow of Order to the Legion."

Nimrod slightly and turned to Malena.

"The Triken system is rich in mineral resources and will become the future Legion's forging center. Rosicky will be in charge of this after completing the shipyard construction on the Vostonia satellite."

"But what I want is not a more productive Vostonia, but a thriving new world."

"Malena, you will be in charge of all affairs except those related to industry. You also have veto power and can reject projects that damage the ecological environment or are detrimental to sustainable development."

Nimrod believed that his many offspring and Beyonder would surely be able to build Industrial World with even greater development potential than the Roboute Guilliman's Calth —a world with a beautiful ecological environment and enormous industrial capacity.

The Triken system will be the future jewel of the Segmentum Obscurus.

Malena paused for a moment before speaking.

"My lord, I will do my utmost."

"You don't need to worry about not being able to do it; you will gain new strength."

"Keri and his sixteen attendants have also passed my test. After a standard ship's journey, bring them to my private office. They will become your asset in the Triken system."

After a standard ship's journey, Nimrod watched as Malena's sixteen attendants drank the "Cultivator" potion. He then used Telepathy to send them a packaged set of basic knowledge for standard Beyonder. This package included common sense, techniques such as meditation and Spirit Sight, as well as information on collecting the relics of other deceased gifted beings.

He then turned his attention to the newly promoted Sequence 7 Beyonder of the "Mother" Pathway who was converging power.

Malena's full lips parted slightly as she whispered, "Harvest Priest."

She looked at Nimrod, "I understand what you mean, I will definitely not let you down."

"I trust you."

Upon hearing this, Malena's flawless face was filled with a smile.

She reported on the progress of another recently taken-over task, "The pregnant female Space Ape is due to give birth within ten sidereal days."

"Its body structure is very different from that of a human, so I cannot be certain of the exact time."

She began to speak, stating that this was the most accurate conclusion she could reach after a comprehensive examination combining her Beyonder Abilities and Biochemical Psionic Power.

"Ensure the safe birth of the cubs."

As you wish.

After she left with her sixteen newly promoted Beyonder, Nimrod turned on her Communicator and sent a message to Tierney.

"Come to my private office in ten minutes."

A moment later, Nimrod returned to his private office from the "Nation of Disorder" with the "Marauder" potion in his hand.

[If my plan to raise Space Ape cubs goes smoothly, this may be the last potion I concoct.]

As he pondered, he sensed Tierney approaching the door and raising his right arm.

"Come in."

Upon hearing this, Tierney pushed open the door and entered, immediately seeing the Monarch's outstretched palm revealing a bottle of gray potion.

"You completed the task I assigned you in Daxos Alpha; this is my reward for you."

"Thank you for the Monarch's gift."

Without the slightest hesitation, the reconnaissance platoon leader picked up the medicine, tilted his head back, and drank it down.

A moment later, following the information the Monarch had transmitted into his mind, the "Marauder" withdrew his power and whispered something.

"Marauder?"

"That's right," Nimrod said, "But I want you to steal not ordinary valuables, but treasures."

"Your mission is to use your agility to enter the ruins, navigate the traps, defeat the guards, and steal the remaining treasures."

"You will also need to learn the languages of civilizations such as the Aeldari. Once your abilities are further enhanced, your goal will be the Xenos Treasury."

Nimrod silently added in his mind: [It's not just the Craftworld Aeldari, but also the Drukhari, the Black Library, even the Chaos forces, the T'au, the Necrons...]

"The Monarch Majesty, I understand."

"I will certainly not let you down and will bring back those idle and wasted treasures, as well as those Xenos treasures, to present to you."

Five standard days after the ship's departure time, Nimrod received a communication from Malena.

"Sir, the Space Ape's offspring has been born. I have examined him, and he is perfectly healthy."

"Bring him to my office."

A moment later, Nimrod looked at the small, orange-red Space Ape in his hand.

He nodded in satisfaction and said approvingly to Malena, "Well done."

After the female Psyker left, Nimrod sent the Space Ape cub to the Third Layer Space of the "Nation of Disorder".

He sensed it for a while but couldn't detect any signs.

[It must be that my permissions are not high enough to perceive the invisible power of the rules.]

Perhaps, those who are promoted to "Baron of Corruption," or even higher-ranking Beyonder, will be able to detect it.

After a twelve-week voyage, Nimrod's fleet arrived in the Trainer System.
