After a moment's thought, Thomas asked.

"Father, do you mean that members of the Royal Court who received the power you bestowed upon them refer to themselves as Psyker when using their abilities?"

"That's right."

Nimrod considered that in the near future, they might have to cooperate with other legions in combat, Beyonder would always have times when they were forced to use their Beyonder Ability due to circumstances.

Aside from outward manifestations such as "Warrior," "Sleepless," and "Sailor," which are considered to be physical attributes, many Sequence exhibit distinct differences.

Psyker possess diverse abilities, which serves as the best disguise for those with Beyonder.

Moreover, having Librarian background makes it even more difficult for someone to uncover the secrets of "Psyker."

Every "Psyker" goes through a complex process from the Shadow of Order to becoming a commander.

Their identities will change several times, from their original Chapter to the Honor Guard, to joining the Librarian, returning to their Chapter, leaving the Librarian, and finally becoming commanders.

It is impossible for non-Legion members to traverse multiple Legion organizations to trace the "Psyker '" trajectory, making it difficult to understand them and, naturally, even more difficult to uncover their secrets.

"I see."

After the Chief Librarian finished speaking, Nimrod continued.

"Szczesny will succeed you as lord of the Ninth Chapter."

Nimrod selected Szczesny from among many First Company Captain to serve as lord.

He was his earliest follower, and his abilities met the standards of a lord.

"You will remain in command of the Ninth Chapter for the time being, until the 7th Legion concludes its campaign on the Seventh Planet."

The duel between Sanchez and Enoch Lashvin was not yet over, Nimrod naturally could not transfer his First Company Captain and some of Pathway "Tyrant" Beyonder away.

The loss of some commanders will inevitably affect the 7th Legion in the short term.

"The Ninth Chapter is moving to Attack Moon, replacing the 5th Legion."

Nimrod to the Primarch attendant standing to the side, recording the Primarch's commands Primarch's Attendants.

"The Second Legion and 11th Chapter have withdrawn from the Second Planet for rest and reorganization, and the 5th Legion will take over to carry out the subsequent cleanup."

"After the Third Legion arrives, it will serve as the main force to attack the Ork Fortress, with the 5th Legion providing support."

Nimrod learned from the report submitted by the Dark Lord that he had begun to integrate Mordian culture into the Legion, reshaping the Third Legion and Mordian culture.

For this reason, Bukayo House Arshavin did not come in person; instead, he dispatched the Second Company Commander Mikhailovsky and the Third Company Captain Grzegorz, leading half of the Shadow of Order of the Chapter.

Following Nimrod's orders, Bukayo selected elite soldiers from Mordian to form the Auxilia of the Third Legion.

The Third Legion, together with the Auxilia, conducted a series of targeted training exercises in Mordian.

The Third Legion strengthened urban warfare and extended its reach to naval warfare and satellite space warfare.

The five Fortress on Planet Wheel of Fire II will be the touchstone for the new Third Legion.

After making a series of legion relocations, Nimrod asked the "Mystery Pryer".

"Have you gained anything from the language and rituals of occultism?"

"Father, in addition to the mystical language materials I sent to the Primarch's Attendants's servants, I also studied the primitive beliefs of various worlds."

"One of these deities is known as the Vulcan, and his followers refer to him as such during rituals."

The "Mystery Pryer" spoke with a deep, enigmatic gaze.

"The great Vulcan,"

You are the master of the volcano

You are the Crimson King who wields fire.

..."

Nimrod leaned back on the Throne, taking in the ritual process described by the "Mystery Pryer" one step at a time.

After the "Mystery Pryer" recounted all the rituals he had collected from various worlds, Nimrod closed his eyes slightly and analyzed the ritual magic.

The "Black Emperor" Pathway did not grant him this ability, so although Nimrod had some related knowledge in his memories, he did not try it out easily.

The Warp home to numerous lesser gods and demigods who appear and disappear intermittently; even he only knew of a few, such as Vashtorr.

If you point to the Error, you never know what unknown entities you might attract.

To ensure success, Nimrod collected myths and rituals from Terra and various races.

At his behest, Arsena also collected myths and legends from various tribes, especially the prayers obtained from the Fenris Stone Tomb, which were of great reference value.

Nimrod spent a considerable amount of time analyzing all the data, eliminating invalid parts, and gradually perfecting the ritual process.

What the "Mystery Pryer" just said confirms his idea.

[Indeed, as I recall, ritual magic can be broken down into three parts.]

The first part is the ritualistic part that pleases or arouses the interest of the corresponding being; the second part is the incantation that describes the object of supplication; and the third part is the substance of what help is obtained.

Each part needs to be explained using a formatted, corresponding language and symbolic symbols.

Nimrod's brain was spinning rapidly; the symbolic representation would be the "Black Emperor."

The language used is Dunnish, which contains mysterious power, so the most crucial thing is the incantation.

[Make sure the descriptive language points back to yourself, associating yourself with the "Nation of Disorder."]

Nimrod is not yet capable of listening to prayers. To receive prayers across Galaxy boundaries, or even into the Warp, he can only rely on the Source Essence he possesses.

What description would be most accurate to refer to "Nation of Disorder," and specifically to me?

The structure is defined, described in three parts.

The first sentence, "The Black Emperor, the Shadow of Order!"

Nimrod further analyzed his inspiration and confirmed its feasibility.

"The Black Emperor" is the shadow of order, and I have named the Eleventh Legion the Shadow of Order.

Although I didn't directly call him the Black Emperor, "The Monarch" is a synonym, and the fact that I didn't directly call him the Black Emperor but used "The Monarch" instead is precisely the shadow.

This description could refer to both the "Black Emperor" and myself in reality.

After finalizing the first sentence, Nimrod began to ponder the second.

"The Mysterious Ruler of Kingdom of Disorder!"

This episode points to a "Nation of Disorder"!

The Source Essence is the core of ritual prayer.

After finalizing the second sentence, Nimrod began to consider the last sentence.

The last sentence should be related to the power of the "Nation of Disorder." Since order has been somewhat manifested, the last sentence should emphasize the rules.

"The King of Light and Shadow Who Rules the Rules!"

The "Justiciar" sets the rules, he is the light; the "Black Emperor" alters the rules, he is the shadow.

After confirming the ritualistic language, Nimrod opened his eyes and looked at the "Mystery Pryer" and the "Deduction Cadets".

"I need your cooperation in performing a ceremony."

"You have never been able to harness the power I have given you."

"You cannot use ritual magic because you have no one to pray to."

Upon hearing this, the Primarch's Attendants looked at Nimrod expectantly.

Thomas hesitated for a moment. The Primarch's words were a matter of faith, a violation of the Imperial Truth.

This contradicts his previous education.

When the "Mystery Pryer" hesitated, he suddenly thought of the Heart-Slayer of the Crystal Illusion Realm, and he could clearly feel that it was real.

He then thought about how the Imperial Truth couldn't explain the "Mystery Pryer" ability he had gained. How could he have acquired such an ability after drinking a bottle of potion?

Thomas's gaze hardened; what the Primarch had said was what he was going to do.

The Primarch sensed Thomas's emotional shifts and waited until he made a decision before continuing.

"Now, I will tell you about an object of prayer."

"Father, to whom do we pray?"

"The Mystery Pryer's is more skilled in ritual magic than the 'Deduction Cadets,'" he asked curiously.

"You'll find out eventually, but before that, I want to tell you a trick."

Nimrod then used Telepathy to send them a Thought Impulse.

"Ritual magic requires an undisturbed Spirituality environment, which we must create ourselves."

"The method is to first enter into meditation to accumulate spiritual energy, and then use a medium to guide our Spirituality outward and connect with our surroundings."

As Nimrod spoke, he picked up a crystal box from the table, opened the lid, and took out a small black knife.

For the Primarch, it is a small knife; for ordinary people, it is a short knife.

He walked around the desk, stood in front of the two men, and opened his palm.

"This ceremonial knife is made using Double-Number Black Gold."

Arsena looked into Nimrod's hand and recognized the irregular white {XI} and {XXXIII} marks on the matte black metal as indicating that they were from the Mount Double-Number of the high-gravity world.

"This technique is very simple," Nimrod Lu said.

Holding a ceremonial knife, recite the following in Dunnish;

I sanctify you, Ritual Blade!

I Purification you, so that you may serve me in the ritual!

"In the name of the Black Emperor, you have been sanctified!"

Nimrod recited the short and powerful words in Dunnish. After finishing, he pointed the tip of his knife at the outer edge and began walking around the desk.

With each step, both the "Mystery Pryer" and the "Deduction Cadets" could feel an invisible force emanating from the ritual knife.

The Spirituality is connected to the air, forming a sealed wall.

After Nimrod finished walking around, his desk was separated from its surroundings.

"The Spirituality environment has been created," Nimrod then said, "Making it easier to dispel."

Nimrod spoke, he stabbed with a ritual knife, and the invisible walls around him were pierced.

Nimrod then opened two more boxes, inside which were two small black knives, one long and one short.

The longer one was only slightly shorter than his; the shorter one was a small knife in the ordinary sense.
