Key to the Underworld's Return, Grim Reaper Pathway Final Explanation, Opinion Collection Vote

1. The Key to Return to the Underworld

Ferrus Manus discovered a large amount of technology from the "Dark Mechanicum Era," including forbidden technologies and equipment scattered throughout different Vaults of Mimir.

After his death, the Iron Hands frantically used some of the forbidden technology.

The first use of the Bio-Electronic Resurrection Ritual (also known as the "Key to the Return of the Underworld") was in the battle against the Emperor's Children in the Gamma Origin City.

During that war, a device that brought about resurrection was almost completely abused, resulting in the resurrection of the dead or the reactivation of the dead in completely irregular ways.

The Iron Hands Warrior's hatred kept them from falling after so many resurrections, and they would rise again and again to fight, even when they were dismembered to an unbelievable degree.

Each time Iron Hands Warrior dies, the resurrection device intensifies its radiation until the energy it emits reaches an inexplicable and chaotic level.

Then it will awaken all the dead who were almost destroyed in the previous battle and could not possibly get up from any angle. The awakened dead even include broken corpses buried in the ground.

From ferocious creatures composed of things that died centuries ago and were about to become fertilizer for the ground, to legionary Warrior who had just died, all have been Resurrect.

In conclusion, the Warhammer World allows the summoning of corpses from the ground, as well as Astartes, on a scale comparable to the Undead Scourge.

Furthermore, consider the many metalized Iron Hands, and even the existence of half-mechanical, half-flesh Zombie. Additionally, such creatures have been found in the ruins of Medusa.

Previously, I also mentioned ghosts (see the words at the end of Chapter 17), Nurgle walkers, and ordinary walkers (see the author's notes in Chapter 124).

Finally, the Emperor can summon Legion of the Damned. They can appear not only in the Warp but also in the real world.

In conclusion, this demonstrates that undead, ghosts, and walkers exist in the Warhammer World, thus justifying the existence of the "Death God" Pathway. This will not be discussed further here.

2. Solicitation of Opinions

We have received feedback from some readers regarding the reason why the same person is referred to by different Sequence numbers in the text.

The reason for writing it this way is to make it clear to the reader which Sequence the Beyonder ability used originates from. Cuttlefish also uses this writing style in many Beyonder battles.

I would like to solicit opinions from all members of the Shadow of Order. Please comment in the following sections, stating your choice and letting me know your thoughts:

A. As before, list the Sequence from which each ability originates, making it clear and concise.

B. Only list the character's current High Sequence, indicating which Pathway it's from.

C. It's tiring to read, and sometimes I have to think about it to make sense of it. I know this myself, or maybe I just don't want to make it so clear; fluency is the priority.

D. Other suggestions.

PS: I will adjust some of the Sequence abilities, especially those that the Cuttlefish hasn't had their settings announced, particularly the abilities from the "Black Emperor" Pathway.

I will adjust the wording based on the feedback.
