Nimrod turned on his Communicator and sent a message to Sanchez.

"I have captured Black Wolf,"

He placed his hands on the Black Wolf, and with a thought, brought it back to the "Nation of Disorder," to the Third Layer Space.

The Blood Red- red chain wrapped around the little finger of the right hand seemed to have blood flowing slowly within it, radiating a Spirituality light.

The Black Wolf is Sequence 4 extraordinary creature. Besides establishing contact with it in the third layer of the "Nation of Disorder," Nimrod needs to use other methods to subdue it.

Nimrod's spiritual Spirituality had been fully replenished, and with a thought, he began to reshape the Silver Tower.

Spirituality is constantly being depleted and replenished until all scenarios are reconstructed.

The Primarch walked to the Black Wolf's side, tossed it beneath the Silver Tower, and said with a smile.

"You were once the Nightmare of countless people; now it's time to experience the cycle of Nightmare."

While pondering, Nimrod's Spirituality was instantly drained, and the cyclical dream he had prepared for Black Wolf would continue to repeat itself.

After meeting the Old Man in Yellow, his authority was enhanced. Although he had not yet opened the Fourth Layer Space, his control over space was further improved.

By invoking the "Nation of Disorder," Nimrod can construct such a cycle, as long as it is replenished before Spirituality is exhausted.

The Primarch's eyes flickered with light as it used "Warp Insight" to peer into the cyclical area before it.

After a moment, he gave up in despair.

[It can only be vaguely sensed that some kind of force, a force related to the rules, is acting on this area, repeating in a cycle.]

After being promoted to "Baron of Corruption" and experiencing my first qualitative leap, I should be able to grasp the Mystery involved to some extent.

Back in the real world, Nimrod boarded the Gunship and flew toward the Transport Ship, gazing at the other side of the Luna through the observation window.

Although I know that the Primogenitor is in the Herodotus Omega Dome, Tara'b Vita-37 has set up seven genetic seals.

She is a powerful Gene-Witch. It wouldn't be difficult for me to defeat her, but she can destroy the Primogenitor before I break the genetic seal.

We can't take the risk. We should wait until the "Solar War," when Abaddon attacks the Luna and she's forced to call for help, before we act.

Nimrod further thought: [If we make our move then, we can still win her loyalty.]

With Gene-Witch present, research into the Primaris Space Marine and the Mystery of genetics would proceed much more smoothly.

Upon returning to the Shadow of the Throne, Nimrod went back to the Primarch's office in the palace to handle official business.

"My lord, I have communicated with the representative of the Administratum dispatched by the Sigillite, and the new Forge World established on Mars in the vicinity of Vostonia has begun operation."

"As per your agreement with Malcador, our supply obligations will decrease by twenty percent."

"The representative from the Administratum conveyed the Sigillite's gratitude, and also conveyed Malcador's invitation to the banquet to be held at the Imperial Palace tomorrow."

Nimrod nodded slightly. This was good news for the ongoing battle on the Wheel of Fire.

What kind of banquet?

"A banquet personally hosted by the Sigillite for you and Russ."

"In addition, the nobles, including Chief Saul of the Tarawa clan, have also requested a meeting with you."

Nimrod pondered for a moment and made a decision.

"I will attend the banquet and meet Chief Saul the following day."

"My lord, I have compiled the documents sent by Tierney, among which the information on Tang, the technological warlord defeated by the Emperor at the end of the 'Age of Strife,' is the most valuable."

"The Gene Lord, which focuses on the superiority or inferiority of genes, has significant research value in the areas of biological evolution and life extension technologies."

Nimrod nodded. Even though Tang implemented cruel policies, and even after being Imprisonment in the infamous Nusakambangan Prison and killed by his fellow inmates out of contempt, his research was valuable.

"Store the data and make two copies, one for Mikel and one for Malena Scarla."

"Sir, besides the genetic data, we also have complete data on the Stormbird."

"The models recorded therein are different from those produced by the Indunisek Group and the Adeptus Mechanicus, which shares manufacturing technology. Among them are special models with greater mobility and equipped with Quantum Field Repulsor."

Upon hearing this, Nimrod immediately became interested, as the special model mentioned by the Primarch's Attendants was similar to the characteristics of the Darkwing that he knew.

He recalled that the Stormbird was developed to replace Gunship older Sky Lance used in the "Unification Wars," and its technology originated from the Indunisek Group.

The Indunisek Group manufactured Stormbird for the Imperium and shared the technology with the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Stormhawk is a variant of Stormbird, while Darkwing is a special model used by the "Raven Guard" and possesses outstanding stealth capabilities.

[Tang was the warlord leader of the Indunisek Group, and he possessed more comprehensive technical expertise.]

"Hand the data over to the Tech Sergeant for study."

At the same time, on Terra, the area once ruled by the tech warlord Tang is now Tierney's base.

The Emperor was disgusted by the cruel policy of genetic superiority implemented during the Tang Dynasty and turned the area into ruins.

Tierney's base was built on ruins.

"Your task for the next period is to prepare a report on the Terra nobility, including the chieftain's personality and behavior, the family's history, the treasures in the vault..."

After arranging for his men to prepare for the scam, the "Swindler" left the dilapidated palace and arrived at a circular ruin.

This place used to be an arena, but now most of the buildings have collapsed.

Tierney walked to the cage and spoke to the ginger-furred, Brainy Cat.

"My abilities combined with yours would be a wonderful combination."

"We'll be a fantastic team, believe me."

The "Swindler" is highly persuasive in his "eloquence," and although he is not very intelligent, Brainy Cat that has been kept in captivity by humans for a long time. His deep blue eyes seem to be deep in thought.

But once Brainy Cat was released from its cage, it immediately turned and ran outside.

After advancing to Sequence 8 "Swindler", Tierney's speed and agility increased. He flashed forward and blocked the way for the Brainy Cat.

A flash of fire appeared in the Brainy Cat's azure eyes, and several balls of flame shot straight toward Tierney.

The moment the "Swindler's " gaze met those azure eyes, he suddenly bent over and rolled forward.

Rumble!

As flames crashed into the arena and the shockwave from the "Flame Blast" spread outwards, the "Swindler" appeared before Brainy Cat.

"Didn't I tell you, you can't escape my grasp?"

When will you realize that being with me is your only and best choice?

The Swindler's eloquence made Brainy Cat hesitate for a moment, before Tierney's hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Brainy Cat.

The Brainy Cat made a meowing sound and angrily raised its paw.

An invisible Telekinesis struck Tierney.

The "Swindler" was forced to let go, leaning back to avoid the "Heavy Strike" aimed at him.

The Brainy Cat landed on the ground, turned around, and ran out of the theater.

The "Swindler" dodged the incoming Fireball with exceptional agility, leaping to the side, lunging forward, or rolling.

Just as Brainy Cat was about to run out of the arena, the "Swindler" appeared in front of it.

Tierney shook his head, then kicked the Brainy Cat.

"I told you, you can't escape."

An hour later, having completed today's task of taming the Brainy Cat, and after adapting to its newfound "Swindler" skills through intense dodging and interception, Tierney returned it to its cage.

He then entered a tower-shaped building, one of the better-preserved structures among the ruins, which was also his residence.

The "Swindler" manipulated the Control Staff, summoning a holographic image of Terra, and muttered to himself.

"To swindle those nobles, you have to make them believe that there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"If they seize this opportunity, their family will rise to prominence."

"If they lose this opportunity, they will never have a chance to rise again."

As the "Swindler" devised his plan, Nimrod arrived at the Imperial Palace's banquet hall with Arsena, Sanchez, and the Honor Guard.
