"The Nation of Disorder", the third layer of reality.

The Black Wolf tilted its head, looking at the Silver Tower in front of it with suspicion.

Where did the Black Armored Giant go?

Black Wolf jerked his head, banishing the terrifying black-armored giant from his mind.

It had only temporarily submitted due to circumstances, waiting for the black-armored giant to lower its guard before seeking an opportunity to escape.

The disappearance of the black-armored giant is for the best, whatever the reason.

The weakened Black Wolf gazed greedily at the silver spiral tower, remembering the noble girl's nightmare, so vivid and pure.

The Black Wolf's eyes flashed, and he immediately pulled the noble girl into Dream-entry.

Chasing, playing with...

After enjoying it five times, the Black Wolf decided to devour the girl's nightmare.

Just as it was about to devour the girl's nightmare, it sensed a terrifying aura approaching.

The Black Wolf turned and fled, but it didn't encounter any more black-armored Warrior who could unleash fire magic.

Nimrod simplified the cycle and highlighted himself to leave a deep impression on Black Wolf.

A moment later, Black Wolf was knocked away again and crashed to the ground in a sorry state.

The Black Wolf, resentful as it lay at the feet of the black-armored giant, was increasingly determined to find a chance to escape, but it spoke ingratiatingly like a pet dog.

"I'm willing... to be your... pet."

The scene shifted dramatically in the next instant, and the Black Wolf found itself back beside the Silver Tower.

It looked around in surprise and uncertainty. "What's going on?"

The Black Wolf looked around, then glanced longingly at the top of the Silver Tower before turning and running away.

After repeating this cycle more than ten times, it lay on the ground like a salted fish, saying, utterly exhausted.

"Kill me if you want, but stop torturing me."

The Black Wolf lay comfortably for a long time. It realized it was still alive. It opened its eyes and found itself lying next to the Silver Tower.

The Black Wolf sprang to its feet, its black eyes flashing with ferocity. Since it couldn't escape, it would eat its fill.

The Black Wolf pulled the noblewoman into Dream-entry. Its body trembled, and a terrifying aura approached. It struggled to control its instinct to escape.

It quickly created a nightmare, then eagerly pounced on the "food".

The next instant, the Black Wolf discovered that the nightmare it had swallowed had burst like a bubble.

There was nothing there, as if it had been in a dream.

As he was being knocked away, Black Wolf thought sadly.

[What a nightmare I can't wake up from!]

I create nightmares every night, and now I'm trapped in them!

The Black Wolf suddenly understood many of the words it had encountered in its dream but hadn't grasped:

Irony, reaping what you sow, evil begets evil, a fate worse than death...

As the Black Wolf reincarnates, Nimrod receives a report that Mikel has arrived after meeting with the twenty-three families in Terra.

The Primarch then returned to the Shadow of the Throne, and through questioning and observing the color of the aura, Nimrod confirmed that he had digested the "Apothecary" potion.

Nimrod then returned to the "Nation of Disorder" and, using Fenris's largest mammoth as the main ingredient, concocted Sequence 8 "Beast Tamer" potion.

Inside the Primarch's office in the palace, Mikel, having gathered his scattered power, whispered, "Beast Tamer."

The orange-furred, Brainy Cat beside him suddenly sprang up and jumped to the side.

Nightmares resurfaced in the mind of the Brainy Cat, as it was repeatedly tortured by the Black Armor Giant with various drugs.

It calmed down only after feeling familiar and comforted by the spiritual connection.

The Brainy Cat lying next to Nimrod had its ginger-yellow fur standing on end.

Through the telepathic connection, Nimrod can sense the thoughts of the Brainy Cat.

The Brainy Cat instinctively sensed that Mikel was dangerous and its natural enemy.

The Primarch, through a telepathic link, prevented the Brainy Cat from using Psionic Energy, but it didn't lie down again, its dark eyes warily fixed on the "Beast Tamer."

Nimrod's lips curled into a smile. The reactions of the Brainy Cat were quite amusing, he said with a laugh.

"That's right, I have a task for you. After you complete this task, you will be able to master the power I have bestowed upon you."

"Father, please speak."

"Go to the 7th Legion, tame those Thunderwolf, and breed the cubs."

After Mikel accepted the order, Nimrod asked another question.

How many Apothecary and minions does the Legion currently have?

"The Legion currently has fifty-two full-fledged Apothecary and one hundred and thirty-four Apprentice."

"One thousand three hundred and eighty-four servants are capable of performing the reconstructive surgery."

Nimrod nodded in satisfaction, and then said.

"When sending Apprentice to the 'Selena Gene Cult' on the Luna for training, in addition to knowledge of genetic modification, they are also required to learn communication signals and language."

The Chief Apothecary recalled noticing during his training on the Luna that the communication signals used by the "Selena Gene Cult" differed significantly from the Imperium's common signals.

They use an organic form of genetic binary code, a rotational cipher language technique based on the sender's unique genetic Sequence.

Mikel left thoughtfully, pondering the deeper meaning behind the Primarch's command.

The three Chapter of the Eleventh Legion, following the orders of the Primarch, proceeded to assemble in the Sol System.

In the Paragon City of Vostonia, Per Koschelny, dressed in a black robe, was about to enter the arbitration hall when memories flashed through his mind.

His memory contains both blurry images and vivid, profound experiences.

After passing the recruit selection, he boarded the Voidship along with other candidates.

The subsequent modifications were all completed on the Medical Deck. The cold operating room, the hard bed, and the metal training cages on the training deck together formed his vague and monotonous memories on the Voidship.

The experiences gained in training facilities around the world are clearer and more vivid.

The city training base in Vostonia, the endurance and adaptability training facilities in the Cradle of the Sea, the high-gravity training base in the Ape-Man System...

Per Koschelny consistently performed exceptionally well, earning an A+ rating from every instructor.

Today is the final test he will face, a test unique to the 11th Chapter.

Per Koschelny will act as Lawyer, defending his clients.

Having undergone full remodeling surgery, Per no longer needed Data Slate; all the information in the case files was exceptionally clear in his mind.

Per knew that all the recruits, during their final assessment, had, in a strict sense, violated the laws of Vostonia in their defense of their clients.

They were not violating the "Iron Law of the Monarch" established by the Primarch, but rather the "Guide of the Omnissiah," which was still being used on a small scale.

After Primarch Vostonia, the Primarch did not abolish the entire Guide of the Omnissiah; he retained its essential parts to ensure the factory facilities continued to operate efficiently.

Having received mental training, Per understood that this was a manifestation of the Primarch's idea of "utilizing rules."

The Guide of the Omnissiah are highly effective in industrial production and should be utilized effectively.

Per strode into the arbitration hall and looked at the Arbiter in the main seat. He knew that his opponent today was a candidate from the First Chapter.

Of the entire legion, only the First Chapter and 11th Chapter had all their recruits from Vostonia.

The First Chapter and 11th Chapter do not accept recruits from other worlds, including Terra and the Cradle of the Sea, as stipulated by the Primarch.

The arbitration system before the Primarch descended from the sky is still retained. In the final assessment, candidates from the First Chapter and 11th Chapter play the roles of Arbiter and Lawyer respectively to confront each other, which is a continuation of the tradition.

As the top candidate among the 11th Chapter candidates, his opponent is the top-ranked candidate in the First Chapter at the same time. The second-ranked candidate in the 11th Chapter is the second-ranked candidate in the First Chapter, and so on.

Only one of them can pass the final assessment unless both perform exceptionally well and receive a passing grade from all jurors.

Those who pass the test will receive black Power Armor and become a true Shadow of Order.

Those eliminated must undergo special training by the Chapter again and await the next final assessment.
