Sequence 1 Level Extraordinary Abilities
At the end of summer in the Fenris year, a Gunship flew against the storm, soaring over the Sea of Storms.
Most Fenrisian grow up surrounded by a vast, continuous sea, so they naturally imagine the world as an ocean, calling it the Sea of Storms.
The world of the Fenrisian, apart from the only permanent continent of Asaheim, is the Sea of Storms.
Inside the Gunship, two figures walked to the hatch.
The Wolf King shed his fur and donned armor forged by Fenris's blacksmith, engraved with runes carved by the Sons of the Storm.
Nimrod glanced at it and keenly sensed the primal and ferocious Warp energy contained within the runes.
He wore a well-fitting suit of armor forged in advance by Tech Sergeant. Its protective power was far inferior to that of the top-tier craftsmanship of the Adeptus Mechanicus, but it made him more agile and mobile in the sea.
The Emperor gazed at his two offspring before him, his eyes flashing with golden light as he probed the threads of fate and foresaw the outcome of the battle between the Primarch.
Nimrod's proposed hunt disrupted the results of his Sympathetic Magic deductions, rendering the previous results unreliable.
Sympathetic Magic and Psionic Energy prophecy both involve knowing the future, but their difficulty and effects are completely different.
The prophecy reveals countless threads of destiny, with the present moment as the focal point.
Sympathetic Magic, on the other hand, is dynamic; the Emperor incorporates variables into his plans to predict the future.
The Emperor relied on Sympathetic Magic to formulate a series of plans, making it more trustworthy than prophecy.
Every factor taken into account in the plan will affect and change the plan, making it more difficult to use, even though the Emperor experiences Affliction every time he uses it.
A moment later, the golden light in his eyes dissipated, and after the two Primarch leaped down, he asked Alpharius beside him.
"Vostonia, like Terra, is dotted with Hive City and wastelands, and Leman Russ is better at hunting in the icy seas."
Nimrod will win.
The first scene the Emperor saw in his prophecy was Nimrod hunting an even larger sea monster and winning the victory.
Among the countless threads of change, the two Primarch were evenly matched, but he believed in the first picture he saw.
As the Emperor and Alpharius were speaking, Nimrod and Leman Russ simultaneously plummeted into the sea like cannonballs.
The Wolf King let out a loud howl, shouting a declaration of victory at Nimrod in Fenris's battle language— Vogen.
"I will definitely win; your witchcraft tricks are useless."
Just as Nimrod was about to speak, a Thought Impulse flashed through his mind, and the Old Man in Yellow's voice rang out.
"Don't use Psionic Energy, win the victory the way Fenris did."
Just as Nimrod frowned slightly, the Old Man in Yellow's voice rang out again.
I will gift you a Relic-class warship.
Upon hearing this, he readily agreed and sent a Thought Impulse to the Old Man in Yellow in the high-altitude Gunship.
"Good."
Then, Nimrod closed his eyes slightly. He did not use any more Psionic Energy, nor did he use "Warp Insight," which was closely related to the Sea of Souls.
He doesn't use Psionic Energy, but he still has Mystical Item at his disposal.
During this time, he successfully established contact with the Power Fist by utilizing the third layer of reality in the "Nation of Disorder".
He therefore knew that it corresponded to the "Hand of Order" in Sequence 1 of the "Justiciar" Pathway.
Now, Nimrod infuses his Spirituality into his Power Fist, using the Sequence 1 "Sheriff" Beyonder Ability "Detect Evil."
Generally speaking, Beyonder at Sequence 7 cannot Spirituality items at High Sequence levels, but the "Hand of Order" is one of the two Pathway corresponding to the "Nation of Disorder".
As a being of the Source Essence rank, one possesses absolute power to suppress Mystical Item of the corresponding Pathway. After establishing a relationship with the Power Fist, Nimrod can use high-level Beyonder Ability to a limited extent.
In an instant, Nimrod's perception reached the entire Sea of Storms, and countless unshielded things related to evil, chaos, and madness surged in his mind.
Giant Ice Worm burrowing in the glacial fjords of Asaheim, Sea Dragon hunted by nomadic tribes, and countless other prey, octopus-like giants— the Kraken...
A massive flow of information, enough to overwhelm a mortal's mind, was poured into the brain of the Primarch.
The Primarch received and analyzed the information at superhuman speed, and then locked onto the largest Kraken in the Sea of Storms.
The condition for determining the winner between Nimrod and Leman Russ was that the Kraken hunted would be the largest; at this moment, the outcome was already decided.
Once the Primarch confirmed its direction, it immediately exerted its strength and swam towards its target at full speed.
The Primarch's muscle fibers vibrated at a frequency of 3,311 every instant, and the ocean currents of the Sea of Storms were converted into propulsive kinetic energy by his superhuman body.
The airflow trailed behind the Gene Primarch was like a shockwave from an explosion; the sea fish that collided with it were instantly torn to shreds before they could dodge.
On the Gunship, the Master of Mankind, who was watching the duel, shifted his gaze from the Wolf King to the Blood Red line on the Sea of Storms.
He frowned. In that brief moment, apart from Nimrod, only the Emperor sensed the faint energy fluctuations.
It's not Psionic Energy, but another kind of strange energy.
The Emperor recalled the energy fluctuations he had detected, trying to figure out what they were.
After a moment, the Master of Mankind reluctantly gave up. The energy lasted only a moment, did not belong to his familiar domain, and was extremely weak. He could only draw some vague conclusions.
Its effect appears to be similar to that of Auspex or Auger Matrix.
Given the conditions for victory in the duel, Nimrod likely used his biological detection abilities.
The Primarch possesses an item that allows him to detect the oceans of Fenris?
After determining the item's abilities based on limited information, the Emperor began to ponder what that item might be.
To successfully survey the vast oceans of Fenris, one would need an artifact from the Dark Mechanicum Era. What could it be?
The Power Fist I gave him, aside from their offensive capabilities, only possess a peculiar ability to force regular changes in the surrounding environment, which should be unrelated to this.
The Power Sword is sharp, but it has no other effects.
...]
After pondering for a moment, the Master of Mankind also failed to reach a conclusion.
[Whatever it is, if Nimrod can detect the location of the largest Kraken, he will win.]
The Emperor nodded in satisfaction. "The results of the Sympathetic Magic deduction were indeed correct. Although there were slight deviations in the process, Nimrod certainly did not disappoint me."
I should reward him with a few more Relic-class warships.
As Nimrod raced through the Sea of Storms, he suddenly felt a melting sensation within his body; the "Briber" potion had been partially digested.
His nearly depleted Spirituality was restored by about one-tenth due to the digestion of the "Briber's " potion.
[Um?
What did I do? Why did the potion digest again?
Nimrod wondered aloud that, through the feedback from the potion, he had already figured out the rules for playing the role of the "Briber" potion.
He must engage in Bribery, whether voluntarily or not.
He didn't actively Bribery anyone just now; it was an unconscious act, but it fulfilled the requirements of Bribery and received some feedback.
[Feedback can only come from the Emperor, but what will that be?]
Nimrod's thoughts were interrupted in an instant, and his attention returned to the real world.
He had already sensed the presence of a colossal sea monster, even larger than the Shadow of the Throne.
A giant sea Great Beast, slowly swimming, stirred up a storm in the ocean.
With each breath it creates, the airflow it generates stirs up an ocean current.
The Kraken, the sea monster of Fenris!
