Old Huang Is Addicted to Winning Without Lifting a Finger

Thinking of the various "Dark Mechanicum Era" relics on Medusa, Nimrod immediately decided to answer the Emperor's call.

After a moment's thought, he decided on the people who would accompany him.

"Fourth Legion, accompany me to Medusa. Order the Death Lord to immediately withdraw from the surface and prepare for departure."

Nimrod remembers the Mount Karash Blacksnow where Ferrus Manus fell, a place considered Curse by the locals, haunted by the Evil Spirit of the dead from the long Old Night and monsters with steel skins.

Ferrus Manus Manus ventured deep beneath the Freeze ruins of Medusa, opening several anciently sealed underground bunkers, where he discovered Mutant and zombies hidden in the depths, as well as cyborgs made of flesh and metal.

Those Beyonder using the "Death God" Pathway can exert influence on Medusa.

Of course, there are also Beyonder and Tech Sergeant follow the "Paragon" Pathway.

"Summon Gabriel to come see me."

The Lord of the Forge, Rosicky Czech, is overseeing the installation of Warp Gate and Bastion-class Energy Shield across seven star systems, while Wojciech Berek is developing the Cepra Mundi.

Two sidereal hours later, Nimrod met with Tech Sergeant Gabriel.

"What is the current status of the House Vicstrix's Knight Mech?"

Gabriel spoke out in the report.

"My lord, as you commanded, I have been assisting them in repairing the Knight Mech ever since Vixatrix swore allegiance to you."

"By the time I left the Daxos Binary System, 83 of the House Vicstrix's 95 mechs had been repaired; the remaining 12 were too badly damaged for me to repair."

"Upon arriving in the Wheel of Fire System, I have been working alongside the Knights of Vixatrix; forty Knight Mech suffered varying degrees of damage in the battle."

"Of these, fourteen were beyond repair; ten were destroyed by the Deff Dread and artillery during the attack on the Ork warlord's Fortress."

After listening to Vixatrix's briefing, Nimrod spoke.

"Come with me to the Medusa System."

He then determined, by questioning and observing Gabriel's aura, that Gabriel had already absorbed the "Savant" potion.

After having Arsena explain Medusa's situation to Gabriel, Nimrod returned to the "Nation of Disorder" and ordered the Space Ape to concoct an "Archaeologist" potion.

Upon returning to the real world, Gabriel drank the golden potion and advanced to Sequence 8 Beyonder.

Five sidereal days later, the Shadow of the Throne and the fleet of the Fourth Legion set sail for the Medusa System.

Apart from the Second, Third, Fourth, and Seventh Chapter, the other eight Chapter committed varying numbers of troops to continue purging the remaining Orks in the Wheel of Fire System, together with the Second and Sixth Legion.

Three weeks later, the fleet arrived in the Medusa System.

Nimrod traveled alone in the shuttle to the Emperor flagship Bucephalus.

During the journey, he looked out at the Medusa System through the viewing window.

The star in the Medusa System is very unique; it is a supergiant blue star.

This star system has four planets orbiting the "blue Sun".

From any perspective, this star system is not a habitable world; it should be classified as Death World, like Catachan and Fenris.

Moments later, the shuttle landed on the Bucephalus helipad.

Stepping off the deck, Nimrod immediately saw the Old Man in Yellow and Alpharius standing behind him.

"Nimrod, after you find your brother, I will discuss with you in detail your achievements in the Wheel of Fire."

"Now, let's set off."

Nimrod had no objections and spoke up.

As you wish.

The three God Almighty's Stormbird, Gunship immediately took off.

Nimrod's gaze pierced through the viewing window, penetrating the silicate dust clouds and wreckage of asteroids and ships within the galaxy, and looked toward Medusa IV, a giant planet several times the size of Terra.

The Primarch's eyes suddenly narrowed as he keenly sensed a surge of Psionic Energy emanating from the Emperor and enveloping the Stormbird.

Ion storms, randomly malfunctioning Space Mine, and a host of ancient but still deadly automated weapon systems.

In the "Warp Vision," it is a cold world, only slightly colder than Fenris.

The raging ion storms and drifting Space Mine were all kept at bay.

The ancient and deadly automatic weapon system seemed to be "blind," allowing the Stormbird to fly right past it.

The surface of Medusa, the Throne forged from Medusa's iron, is as hard as the stone of the desolate Shadowlands, as black as shale in the dead of winter.

Like all the creations of Ferrus Manus' hands, it is very beautiful.

The throne has a towering, handcrafted metal chain back and somewhat worn armrests, with thick, black iron bars coiled around it like snakes, etched with silver scales.

On his the Throne, Ferrus Manus, who was talking with those around him, looked up at the sky, his liquid metal-like silver eyes gleaming with a dazzling light.

The Medusan followed Gorgon, their demigod gaze fixed on the sky, where they saw the dense atmosphere as if cleaved by lightning.

In the Medusan's memory, such a scene has only occurred twice: the first time was when Gorgon descended, and this is the second time.

Ferrus Manus suddenly stood up, his voice ringing out as always, a voice as heavy as lead that echoed throughout the hall.

He addressed Gabriel Santor and the group of Iron Father he had trained.

"Get ready."

Gorgon of the Medusan offered no explanation and strode away.

The Iron Father frantically climbed onto their machines, each vehicle at least a hundred meters long.

With engines roaring, Santor and the Iron Father floored the accelerator, and the steel the Chariot sped off.

But they the Chariot quickly left behind by Gorgon, whose Iron Father sped across the cratered ground.

The hundred-meter-long steel the Chariot was tossed into the air and plunged into impact craters like a toy.

A steel the Chariot, unfortunately, crashed diagonally into an abandoned mineral mining pit that reached deep into the Earth's core, and was instantly swallowed up, leaving only the loud bang of the collision and terrified screams.

Stop!

Santor of the Clan Avernii shouted loudly.

"Trust Gorgon; he is a demigod, and no one can threaten him."

One sidereal hour later, the Stormbird landed.

Nimrod was one step behind the Old Man in Yellow, Alpharius, just like before, was also one step behind him.

Nimrod looked at Ferrus Manus, whose shale-colored hair was cut very short.

His eyes were like two silver coins, reflecting no light, and they were cold and indifferent as he scrutinized the three of them.

He was clad in chainmail, strung together with saw-edged straps made of Medusa Iron, revealing pale, bulging muscles covered in scars.

Ferrus Manus Manus was not as ferocious as the Wolf King; he was like Bone-Carving Saber or a hand-forged suit of armor.

Nimrod's gaze finally settled on Ferrus Manus's hands, which shimmered as if they were wearing gloves made of liquid metal.

His gaze was deep and unfathomable as he thought to himself.

[Asimos is very likely C'tan, or at least a fragment of it.]

While Nimrod was pondering, the Emperor spoke.

"Ferrus Manus, my son."

"I am the Master of Mankind, it is time for you to return to my side."

Ferrus Manus spoke, his voice like lead being poured.

You must prove that you possess power comparable to mine.

He clenched his silver fist, and even though the starlight was obscured by thick clouds, his Iron Hands gleamed brilliantly.

The Emperor of Mankind's eyes flashed, and he spoke.

"Your brother, Nimrod, will fight for you in my place."

Nimrod frowned slightly, glanced at the Old Man in Yellow, and thought to himself.

Is the Old Man in Yellow addicted to winning without effort?

First, I was put to fight Leman Russ, and then I was put to fight Ferrus Manus.

Unlike the Wolf King, who is Psionic Energy to clash with Medusa's Gorgon, I have no reason to conflict with him!
