The Catachan Banshee's Conception

After setting up the ceremony, Malena Scarla went to the bathroom.

She added a few drops of plant-derived essential oil to the bathtub and then immersed herself in the water.

Malena's long golden hair spread out on the vines as she fell into deep thought.

After questioning Sanchez and Mikel, I have confirmed that no other Primarch have bestowed Beyonder Ability or similar powers upon others.

Only Lord Nimrod can bestow Beyonder Ability; he is special.

If he is a deity descended to earth, then everything makes sense.

In Malena's brown eyes, the image of the black-armored giant descending from the sky just as the Flao were about to breach the Trani tribe appeared.

At that time, the Black Emperor had not yet reunited with his offspring as the Primarch.

He drove away the Xenos and brought hope to the desperate Sicilians.

Malena's eyes gleamed. She rose, dried herself, put on a black robe, and walked toward the altar.

After lighting the candles with her Spirituality, she used a ritual knife to create a Spirituality environment, then knelt on Black Onyx Altar Mat with her hands clasped together.

Malena parted her red lips slightly and recited in Dunnish:

"The Black Emperor of the Shadow of Order"

The mysterious ruler of Kingdom of Disorder

The King of Light and Shadow, who rules the rules.

I pray for Your watchful gaze.

"The Iron Law of the Monarch, the foundation of Kingdom of Disorder, please transfer your power to my incantation."

Malena recited the mantra devoutly for the third time, until finally the black mist engulfed her.

The golden-haired Psyker curiously surveyed the Mysterious Kingdom, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

A moment later, the prophetic Psyker gave up searching; all she could see was churning black mist.

The only thing she was certain of was that this mysterious space was different from the Sea of Souls.

Finally, Malena looked at Nimrod, who was seated high on the Throne, and spoke.

"My lord."

Nimrod looked at the vines wrapped around her fair arms.

You've had a very fruitful time in Catachan.

"As you can see, there are thousands of mutated plants in Catachan. I have carefully selected a hundred mutated plants, cultivated them, and obtained their seeds."

The "Harvest Priest" can use her Spirituality to stimulate the growth of seeds, which allows her to carry a wider variety of mutated plants than just physical plants.

A wider variety of plants means greater combat power for the "Harvest Priest".

After reporting on her own combat strength growth, Malena then said:

"I used the world-modification technology I obtained by interrogating the Aeldari bishops under the Arbites Lord to transform the land of Catachan. The first experimental farmland has stabilized."

"I began renovating the second plot of land three days ago."

Nimrod nodded and said, "The transformation of Catachan's environment must be limited; its local characteristics must be preserved."

He doesn't need another Agri World; what he needs is a world that can reliably provide a pool of excellent soldiers.

Nimrod provided medicines and agricultural products to the Catachan in an effort to reduce Catachan mortality rate and achieve a dynamic equilibrium, but not to fundamentally change that Death World.

The people of Catachan will continue to be tempered in the deadly jungle, forging them into outstanding Warrior.

"Follow Your will."

After receiving the order, Malena parted her red lips slightly, but made no sound, and then closed them again.

Seeing that she hesitated, Nimrod knew she had something to say, so he spoke:

"Please feel free to speak."

Upon hearing this, Malena replied, "My lord, you are the Black Emperor, a god who descended to the mortal world."

"There is an irreconcilable contradiction with the truth currently upheld by the Imperium. What are your plans?"

"I am not trying to pry into Your plans, but only to prepare myself to serve You better!"

[The Primarch Nimrod should be the Black Emperor's mortal incarnation; His descent in this form must have had a purpose.]

Malena used to be loyal to Nimrod, but now she worships the Black Emperor.

Her loyalty was never to the Emperor or the Imperium of Man; she always had only one.

Her loyalty was purer than that of the Terran-born Shadow of Order, who swore allegiance not only to the Primarch but also to the Imperium and the Emperor.

Nimrod tapped the back of the chair with his fingers, thinking to himself, "The Emperor's decision to hand over the 'Wheel of Fire' to the Eleventh Legion shows that he still sees the 'Shadow of Order' as a sharp weapon."

"Shadow of Order" will likely be deployed by him to participate in fierce battles against powerful Xenos enemies, such as those against Rangdan and Drun.

Sacrifices were unavoidable, but overall, the Eleventh Legion, and those loyal to me, continued to grow. Without the Imperium, my development would certainly not have been as rapid, and these fierce battles would also provide me with potion ingredients.

Having thought this through, Nimrod could accept the Old Man in Yellow's arrangement. He looked down at Malena.

[Yes, Malena's attitude is very proactive; she's considering potential future changes, which aligns with my plan. Perhaps I could entrust her with the responsibility.]

"For the foreseeable future, Nimrod will remain the genetic Primarch of the Imperium," Nimrod asked again.

"What do you think of the Catachan women as soldiers?"

He knew, of course, that the women of Catachan would perform just as well as the men in the future Astra Militarum.

Nimrod wanted to know Malena's opinion in order to decide whether to entrust his idea to Malena.

"I believe they are all excellent Warrior; their individual qualities are no less than those of the Warrior from Vostonia and the Cradle of the Sea before their transformation."

Although Malena didn't understand how the Black Emperor's question was related to her own, she still answered earnestly.

"Of course, I'm referring to ordinary soldiers who didn't receive the power You bestowed upon them."

Nimrod slightly, deciding that Malena would be the one to realize his vision.

"Before the Battle of the Wheel of Fire, I was attacked by the Aeldari Autarch, and I captured him alive."

"From him, I obtained the secrets of the Aeldari's shrine, including a path known as the Path of the Howling Banshee."

Nimrod's "Howling Mask" is not Mindset technique like the "War Mask," which is suitable for all Shadow of Order.

The Aeldari's path is closely related to their Psionic Energy, and the "Howling Mask" he deduced is no exception.

Most Psyker can master the Psionic Energy howl technique and the "Howling Mask" technique.

It is especially suitable for psychic Psyker have mastered the ability of "Psychic Scream," and most of the Librarian of the Shadow of Order are proficient in this.

Nevertheless, Nimrod still believed that the Path of the Howling Banshee could be extended to other groups.

He naturally connected it to its origins: the Howling Banshee originated from the two daughters born to the Morai-Heg and the God of Combat, Khaine.

The Phoenix Lord Jain Zal, who founded the shrine, was a woman, and the shrine, due to its physiological and psychological capabilities, excludes most men.

From this, Nimrod draws a preliminary conclusion that women may be more suitable both physiologically and psychologically for expanding into non- Psionic Energy groups.

Although the human body structure is very different from that of the Aeldari, there are still certain psychological commonalities in reproduction and other aspects, and humans should be more likely to reproduce than men.

Malena is both Psyker and the most outstanding woman under his command, making her the most suitable person to realize his ideas.

At the very least, Malena is certain to master the "Howling Mask".

Letting her explore won't take up my time or energy.

In his spare time, besides continuing to explore the Mystery of Slau Da's mind, Nimrod has recently focused on researching wings and the power of the Burning One.

This gave him a deeper understanding of fire and a preliminary grasp of the power of fire in the physical world.

Nimrod is combining the power of the Burning One with the Aeldari's Path of the Fire Dragon, and therefore has not yet passed it on to his offspring and the fire-based Psyker Arsena.

While Nimrod was pondering, Malena understood the reason for the Black Emperor's question, and she immediately spoke:

"My lord, I will follow Your will, explore the Mystery of the Howling Banshee, and nurture the Catachan Banshees."

Nimrod nodded in satisfaction. "Open your heart."

Nimrod then telepathically transmitted to Aeldari's "Path of the Warrior" and "War Mask," the Mystery of the "Path of the Howling Banshee" including the Banshee Runes and Banshee Mask, as well as his understanding of the "Howling Mask" and the Telepathy level of Thelema's Malena Mindset.

For an ordinary person, the brain would be overwhelmed by the massive flow of information.

But Malena is the most resilient person Nimrod has ever seen, aside from the Emperor, Malcador, and the Primarch, and is now Sequence 7 Beyonder.

A massive flow of information surged through the blonde Psyker's mind, Malena's temples throbbed slightly.

Thirty-three seconds later, Malena received all the information.

As the black mist dissipated, Malena found herself back at the underground altar of Catachan.

Malena wiped the sweat from her forehead and used a ritual knife to break through the Spirituality environment.

Her brown eyes flickered as she began to recall the extra information in her mind, exploring its Mystery.

At the same moment, the Shadow of the Throne and the Imperial Fleet leaped from Mandeville Point and arrived in the Sol System.
