"Gravedigger"

Outside the silver spiral tower in the Third Layer Space of the "Nation of Disorder," Black Wolf, after countless nightmare cycles, had completely given up on the idea of escaping.

It had been waiting for the black-armored giant to appear, but it never did.

The Black Wolf didn't know how much time had passed. It could sense that time was passing here, but unlike the outside world, there was no boundary between light and darkness.

The place it occupies is also influenced by certain rules, shaping it into a constantly repeating scene.

Like the dream it creates, this place is an independent space where it's difficult to define what constitutes a day.

Black Wolf was in a daze, unaware of how much time had passed, when he heard footsteps.

It suspected it was still in a nightmare until the black-armored giant walked up to it, at which point it weakly turned its neck to look.

Black Wolf's eyes narrowed as he saw a scene completely different from before.

The black-armored giant appeared before him, holding up something that looked like amber in both hands.

The Black Wolf immediately sprang to its feet, filled with both anticipation and fear. It hoped the nightmare would end, yet worried it would give way to a new nightmare.

It stammered, "I really... I really want to be your pet."

"Good."

Nimrod spoke, saying that he didn't feel Black Wolf's sincerity, but rather an invisible thread connecting him to Black Wolf.

He and Black Wolf have established initial contact.

Nimrod's lips curled into a smile as he spoke to Black Wolf.

"You must be starving. I brought you some food."

"Compared to the humans in the dome, his dreams are richer, more multidimensional, and more delicious food."

Upon hearing this, Black Wolf felt a surge of turmoil within him.

It almost drooled like those wolf-like beasts, but it controlled its instincts.

It was once worshipped by millions of people as Eight-Legged Black Wolf; it wasn't a wolf, it was Mythical Creature.

Black Wolf tried his best to maintain his image and not appear like a hungry wolf.

"I am willing to serve my master."

Upon hearing this, Nimrod infused his Spirituality into the Power Fist, releasing the restraints that had "Imprisonment" Slau Da.

Autarch slowly woke up. Before he could figure out where he was, Nimrod and the Black Wolf disappeared from his sight.

Slau Da finds himself in a colorful vortex, and an evil claw reaches for him.

Those were Sai Lansresh's evil claws.

After dragging Autarch into the Dream-entry, the Black Wolf discovered that creating a dream that evoked fear of food was not easy.

It expends a great deal of energy to create its claws, let alone try to recreate the complete shape of its prey.

If it weren't for the food's powerful effect on the mind, the dream it created might have already been seen through.

The food was so delicious!

Its fears are more diverse than those of humans. I discovered for the first time that fear can come in so many forms: the fear of prey against the hunter, the fear of mortals against gods...

The Black Wolf greedily "sucked" at the food, munching on the tender "steak" and fresh "vegetables," and the feeling of hunger quickly disappeared.

Nimrod noticed that the Black Wolf's body, which had initially trembled slightly, gradually calmed down, clearly indicating that it had brought Slau Dara into Dream-entry.

The Primarch began to act, its consciousness spreading towards the Autarch.

Trapped in a nightmare, Slau Da's mental defenses were rendered useless, and Nimrod's consciousness easily seeped into his mind.

As the Primarch began excavating the Autarch's mental treasures, Adams of Necromunda also received news from Leandro Hemar that a large burial complex Hive City.

Adams considered that the burial complex was the final resting place of the Iron Lord, and that it might contain mechanical artifacts, so the loot should belong to the Tech Sergeant. He then sent a message to Rosicky Czech.

Together they went to the fourth Hive City, and in the filthy Underhive, they found Leandro Hemar.

The rising power of the Hemar Family has led to them being increasingly regarded as the ruling family by the Necromunda people.

Governor Leandro became the most powerful man in Necromunda, and it was incredible that he, in his high position, would personally come to the filthy Underhive.

But Governor Hemar went to the Underhive his own initiative, knowing that the "Shadow of Order" was the true master of Necromunda.

Leandro approached Adams and spoke respectfully.

"My lord, I intended to send my men to retrieve everything from the tomb and present it to you."

"But once they entered the cemetery, they were attacked by the Zombie, suffering heavy casualties."

Leandro, realizing that the Death Lord might not be familiar with the local culture of Necromunda, began to explain to him.

"My lord, there is a long-standing culture of the dead in Necromunda. If food does not arrive in time, starving workers will even resort to cannibalism."

"They formed a Shaman religion called the 'Corpse Grinder Cult,' worshipping a being known as the Lord of Flesh."

He sighed, manipulated the Data Slate, and showed Adams the images.

"The culture of the dead originated more than 5,000 years ago with the earliest colonists, during which nobles and their servants and slaves would be buried with them."

"This burial culture has disappeared; this cemetery must be at least four thousand years old."

Adams saw in the image a rotting corpse, its clothes tattered and its skin pale, staggering along.

"These people who were buried alive with me have, for some reason, turned into Zombie. They are fearless and will continue to advance even after being hit by bullets and lasers. The people I sent down to explore suffered heavy losses."

"I dare not use weapons like Flamer; that would damage the things in the cemetery, and I don't think that's what you want to see."

The Gravedigger's eyes lit up upon hearing this; it was his first time encountering Zombie, and he immediately became interested.

You did a great job.

Adams looked ahead at the cemetery. The entrance gate was circular, with eight metal spider legs spread out, revealing the deep burial chamber.

Adams sketched out the original shape of the door in his mind.

Inside the metal disc-shaped gate, eight spider legs were retracted, just like the symbol of the Orb Weaver League.

With the help of Leman's Ear, the Shadow of Order could distinguish the Zombie and the rustling of spiders crawling within.

He told Rosicky, who was inspecting the surrounding structure, "The ability the Primarch gave me will make those Zombie treat me like one of their own. I'll explore the inside by myself first."

The Lord of the Forge withdrew his gaze and nodded.

"Based on the armor Teleport technology being researched on Mars, and combined with the Warp Gate technology of the Orb Weaver League, I have developed a short-range Teleport device."

"I have conducted fifty-two experiments, all of which have been successful."

"Once the Teleport device is activated, it can complete directional Teleport within a ten-kilometer range."

Five hours later, Rosicky directed the Tech Sergeant and Servitor to complete the placement of the three Adamantium Pillar in front of the cemetery gate and set up the Teleport device.

Adams removed his Power Armor and put on an experimental Teleport suit tailored to his body.

Without the suppression of the life support system, the Gravedigger's sinister aura was fully revealed, making the thin layer of metal armor covering his body exceptionally cold.

The Gravedigger strode into the main cemetery, the stench of decay and death assaulting his senses.

The Gravedigger showed no discomfort; the dark graveyard was exceptionally clear in his eyes.

He saw a group of Zombie wandering ahead of the passage he was walking through.

The Zombie's eyes were unfocused as they stumbled and staggered through the passage, sometimes bumping into the walls, sometimes colliding with each other.

The Gravedigger walked into the horde of corpses, weaving through them, occasionally bumping into Zombie, but none of them attacked him.

When the Shadow of Order was still a "Corpse Collector," his body temperature was low, but not yet at the level of a corpse.

When he was promoted to "Gravedigger," his body was ice-cold, and as he walked among the corpses, he was no different from them.

The Gravedigger continued forward, and the passage gradually widened until a circular burial plaza appeared before him.

From each of the corpse pits, some zombies crawled out, while others fell into the air.
