"Briber" Potion Digestion

Nimrod took the box containing the heads of Ork warlords from the Primarch's Attendants and left with the Old Man in Yellow.

Nimrod followed the Old Man in Yellow to the magnificent palace. After they sat down, the Emperor smiled and asked.

"My son, in the battle of the Wheel of Fire, you wiped out the Xenos nest for the Imperium; the war report cannot record all your achievements."

"Now, it's time to tell me what hasn't been said."

Nimrod placed the box on the marble table and began to speak.

As you wish.

"The battle of the Wheel of Fire began in the void, and Russ and I arrived at the same time..."

"Hannibal and his legions joined the war in 821, and he quickly adapted to the role of legionary commander..."

Nimrod concealed the details of Beyonder Ability and Mystical Item, and objectively reported the achievements of the Second and Sixth Legion to the Old Man in Yellow.

"... Finally, I beheaded the Ork warlord Soriano."

He is my gift to you!

As Nimrod spoke, he picked up the box, pressed the Runic Rune, revealing the ugly and ferocious head of the Ork, and offered it to the Old Man in Yellow.

After taking it, the Old Man in Yellow glanced at it, pressed the Runic Rune, and the box closed.

He looked at Nimrod and said admiringly.

"The 'Wheel of Fire' was the largest battle fought since the founding of the Imperium."

"Your command was excellent; you personally slew the Ork warlord."

"This is a truly remarkable and significant victory!"

After praising him, the Old Man in Yellow added...

"I will hold a triumphant ceremony for you in Terra, which will also be a welcome back to your brother, Ferrus."

"Your descendants have made great sacrifices, and the Imperium will not forget them. The Imperium will bestow upon them commensurate honors. You will select suitable individuals and award them the Iron Halo."

"I will gift the Eleventh Legion six Relic-class warships to aid the Shadow of Order in its quest across the stars."

Nimrod thought to himself upon hearing this.

[Yes, adding to the original six, each Chapter will have one.]

The Emperor's solemn tone shifted, and he spoke with a smile.

"Before the Battle of the Wheel of Fire, I spoke with Malcador and Horus about who would behead the chief villain."

"Malcador believes Russ will win the hunt."

Horus and I both believed it was you; you didn't misjudge me.

"Cut off his head, and I'll be satisfied with your gift."

Knowing Nimrod's interests well, he then spoke.

"My private treasury will be opened for you once more; you may choose one treasure from it."

The Briber suddenly felt as if the stars within his body were exploding, his Spirituality becoming more vibrant, and his mind more pure.

Nimrod knew that he had mastered the full power of the potion and become the true "Briber."

His thoughts wandered, and he thought to himself.

[Yes, according to the pattern of the "Nation of Disorder", my authority should be raised again, and a new layer of space will be opened.]

What characteristics will the Fourth Layer Space exhibit, and what special functions will it possess?

Nimrod gathered his thoughts and said to the Old Man in Yellow.

"My Lord, thank you for your blessings!"

The Emperor rose. "Come with me."

Nimrod followed behind the Old Man in Yellow and arrived at the gate of the Golden Treasury for the third time.

Runes shimmered, and the treasure vault doors slowly opened.

Nimrod entered, habitually ignoring the Spear of Dionysus placed at the entrance, and walked inside.

The Emperor's smile remained unchanged. He glanced at the Spear of Dionysus, then looked at Nimrod's retreating figure, his eyes gleaming.

Nimrod activated his Spirit Sight to examine the Old Man in Yellow's treasure vault, paying particular attention to the newly added items and occasionally asking questions.

His pupils contracted when he saw the thirteenth item.

Before Nimrod were crystalline eyeballs the size of an average person's fist, with deep black pupils amidst white sclera.

The Spirituality radiance emanating from the crystalline eyeball was even more intense than that of the Crimson Chain.

He made a preliminary judgment based on its Spirituality.

[Mystical Item of Sequence 3. ]

Seeing Nimrod stop, the Emperor began to introduce him.

"This crystalline eyeball is a trophy I acquired not long ago in Eberreki, a world infested by Xenos."

"The Xenos race of Sel, whose forms resemble Medusa, each has a crystalline eyeball embedded in the top of its head."

"This is a trophy I unearthed after I killed their queen."

Nimrod nodded slightly. He continued forward, and after examining the twelve newly added items one by one, he thought to himself.

[The crystalline eyeball is likely Mystical Item corresponding to Sequence 3 the "Demoness" Pathway, "The Demoness of Unaging."]

The Emperor smiled and asked, "Have you decided what you want?"

"I've made up my mind," Nimrod said, walking up to the crystalline eyeball.

"I want it."

The Old Man in Yellow had already anticipated this. He deciphered the runes, took out the crystal eyeball, and handed it to Nimrod.

After leaving the treasury, the Emperor spoke to Nimrod again.

"My son, seeing your harmonious relationship with Manus, I will have you teach him to adapt to the Imperium."

Nimrod was looking forward to coordinating with the 10th Legion to observe and learn from the "Storm and Hammer" tactics, and he immediately said.

As you wish.

Manus then boarded the Gunship with Nimrod and flew to the Shadow of the Throne.

On the way, Manus raised his left arm and spoke to Nimrod.

"I have renamed the 10th Legion from 'Storm Walkers' to 'Iron Hands'."

After Manus lowered his left arm, he continued speaking.

"All Storm Walkers must find their clan in Medusa."

"Afterward, they will rely on their own abilities to replace the existing tribal leadership, and in the process, they will become true Medusan, both spiritually and physically."

"Gabriel and the others, along with Amad DuCaine, wanted to travel with Iron Hands and first truly understand Medusa."

"A part of him is to become Medusan."

Nimrod nodded slightly. "Thank you for your arrangement."

Nimrod was not surprised at all; he knew that Manus valued Medusa highly.

Because Medusa's local population was small and lacked war potential, Manus would select suitable people from the human worlds he had conquered that were most rebellious.

Manus handed them over to the Ascetic Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus Order as a gift from the Gorgon, to be taken to Medusa for trials.

This is different from recruiting soldiers into legions in other worlds, where they are trained and trained alongside the legion.

All Iron Hands must be forged in Medusa's cruel furnace.

"Following the celebrations on Terra, our two legions will fight together."

Manus's silver eyes flashed, and his leaden voice rang out.

"The Iron Hands is ready!"

Upon returning to the Shadow of the Throne, Nimrod introduced the Imperium to Manus through conversation.

He discovered that, compared to Hannibal's understanding of hunting, Manus's understanding of everything was based on logic and numbers.

Manus was calculating every single moment.

After the conversation ended, Nimrod had Arsena lead Manus to the palace room that had been prepared for him.

Nimrod then arrived at the "Nation of Disorder," where he first placed the crystal sphere into the Third Layer Space.

Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"As expected, after absorbing the 'Briber' potion, my privileges were upgraded."

"The Fourth Layer Space has been opened."
