Osiris Protector
The young think tank member Ramsay had already reached the second level of the Thelma Mindset before setting foot on the surface of OSIRIS III.
The moment he stepped onto the ground, he immediately felt a chilling consciousness strike directly at the mental barrier he had built.
Ramsey's dark eyes flashed, and through the mental collision, he vaguely grasped the enemy's location.
He immediately walked towards the direction of the Osiris Mind-Seed, and the controlled rebel soldiers charged towards him, shouting.
Ramsey raised his staff, and a surge of bio-energy erupted from its tip, sweeping through the rebel soldiers like a storm.
The rebels' hearts pounded, their blood flow accelerated, and their running speed increased dramatically.
After running a few steps, they suddenly slowed down, their arms went limp, they dropped their weapons, and then their bodies collapsed.
Ramsey used "Blood Boiling" to induce physical exhaustion in the rebel soldiers, causing them to lose consciousness and fall into a coma.
Ramsey bypassed the unconscious humans and strode toward the location of the Osiris Mind-Seed that he had sensed during the mind-to-mind collision.
He discovered this Xenos, which enslaved humans to build him a swimming pool, where he leisurely soaked in it.
A flash of anger crossed Ramsey's eyes, and he raised his hand, aiming at the Xenos.
Because the Primarch ordered the Librarian to capture him alive, he did not use Psychic Lightning, but instead weakened him.
The icy blue silk threads of Osiris Mind-Seed hung limply.
The humans who had been manipulated to charge forward stopped in their tracks, staring blankly at the black-armored Warrior.
Ramsey walked to the unconscious Osiris Mind-Seed, bent down and picked up the blue Psionic Energy staff, feeling the abundant mental power within it.
At the same moment, on the surface of Osiris III, invisible shockwaves rippled like invisible waves.
Librarian donned "Howling Mask" and launched psychological attacks.
Their Psychic Scream, while not as powerful as the Primarch's capable of sweeping across an entire planet, could still cause several, or even a dozen, Osiris Mind-Seed to fall into a coma.
The Librarian obtained the blue Psionic Energy staff from the unconscious Osiris Mind-Seed Spawn, extracted its Psionic Energy, and immediately increased the power of the Psychic Scream by more than ten times, greatly enhancing their efficiency.
The 1st Catachan Banshee Regiment boarded Osiris V.
As soon as they stepped onto the ground, Team Leader Miki stopped.
An invisible will weighed on her mind.
"Submit to me!"
Miki was chosen as captain by Malena Skala because she was one of the three Psyker among the female Warrior.
She tilted her head back and let out a piercing Psionic Energy scream, the green runes on her red wooden mask flashing as the shrill scream emanated from the sound amplifier.
Six kilometers away, inside a pointed-roof building, Osiris Mind-Seed, let out an Affliction groan, and several strands of ice silk fell from its heart-shaped head.
Miki's Psionic Energy were not as lethal as those of the Legion Library; Osiris Mind-Seed suffered severe damage but did not die.
He drew Psionic Energy from his blue Psionic Energy staff to replenish himself, while simultaneously issuing commands to the enslaved humans.
Miki howled and led the Catachan Banshees in an attack; the Warrior moved with agile steps.
They moved between buildings, raising Lasgun and firing beams of light at the human rebels.
A gap immediately appeared in the rebel lines.
The Catachan Banshees burst through the gap and sped past before the rebels could re-encircle her.
The 1st Catachan Banshee Regiment did not linger in battle. The female Warrior had received intelligence that killing these enslaved humans was pointless; they had to kill the Xenos.
They followed the teachings of their mistress, Malena, and moved like banshees, but unlike the Aeldari Howling Banshee, they were not fixated on melee combat.
The female Warrior were trained into excellent marksmen by Catachan before they were ten years old, and they fired at the enemy while on the move.
They moved like the wind, finding the feeling of running through the Catachan jungle.
Those enslaved humans, with their slow-moving, predictable, and easily evasive nature, are far easier to evade than the dangerous creatures of the jungle.
The Catachan Banshees dodged wave after wave of enemies as they began their search.
They stormed the weapons factory and the deserted administration building...
Miki, who was running, suddenly stopped and looked at the Xenos building in the distance.
She noticed that the rebels surrounding the building had not joined the siege, but remained stationed in place.
The Catachan Banshees unleashed a barrage of bullets as they ran at high speed, each shot hitting its mark.
Live bullets fired by the human rebels grazed the bodies of more than a dozen female Warrior, splattering blood everywhere.
No female Warrior from Catachan have fallen; they've long been used to minor injuries.
Miki charged into the building first, simultaneously pulling out a half-meter-long Catachan Fang.
The Catachan Banshees wielded their sharp blades, severing the heads of any enemies who stood in their way.
Miki led the banshees in a whirlwind charge, rushing towards the dwelling place of the Osiris Mind-Seed.
She let out a howl, Catachan Banshees behind her all let out a piercing howl in unison.
Osiris Mind-Seed, let out a terrified scream. The Psychic Field around him dissipated, and his corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
After Nimrod discovered that the Osiris Mind-Seed were connected through a mind network, he and the Librarian became the main force on the battlefield, using the "Howling Mask" to efficiently kill enemies.
For a time, he became the busiest person, traveling between worlds to launch mind attacks against the Osiris Mind-Seed and collect potion ingredients.
In the eleventh month of 834, the rebellion in eleven star systems in the Osiris Sector was quelled.
Nimrod returned to the Shadow of the Throne and received a report from Arsena Dunn.
"My lord, the Legion has rescued 513 Sons of War during the operation and has sent a message to Glenn Worsotto, commander of the 13th Legion."
"The liberated humanity of eleven star systems has elected a delegation to request an audience with you."
"Since you are busy with the war, I will meet with them on your behalf. They have made a request."
"Oh," Nimrod nodded slightly, "What are their demands?"
"The terrified Osiris people, not wanting to suffer the same fate of being enslaved by Xenos again, beg you and the Legion for protection."
"They are willing to henceforth obey the commands of the Shadow of Order."
After a moment's thought, Nimrod readily agreed.
"I accept their request and grant asylum to the people of Osiris."
He suspected that some Osiris Mind-Seed might have escaped the mind network of their kind and managed to remain hidden.
Sheriff are best suited to handle such situations.
Nimrod, having considered this, issued the order.
"The Arbites Lord's First Chapter, stationed in Osiris, is here to restore order."
Following the briefing, Nimrod considered his next steps.
The Dice of Prophecy are fully charged; he must now decide on the next person to be divined.
One is a world of special divination, Sulekh, the world chosen for the recruitment of the Fourth Legion, and the undiscovered worlds of Forge World and Knight World.
Another is the world where STC exists, especially those technologies discovered during the "Great Crusade".
Nimrod's mind raced, and he made a decision: to consult the STC and intercept the Baal Predator.
After "Blood Angels" discovered STC, she did not hand it over to the Tech-priest, which led to a long-standing conflict.
I've done them a favor, you're welcome, Sanguinius.
Nimrod then went to the "Nation of Disorder" and picked up the Dice of Prophecy.
His mind raced through all the information he knew about Auten.
[Auten III, the technological heretic Rat, contains the Standard Template Construct for the Baal Predator.]
Nimrod knew little about the process by which the "Blood Angels" retrieved the Baal Predator STC, he muttered to himself.
[The star map of Osiris leading to Auten.]
...]
After silently reciting it eleven times, he reached out and threw the Dice of Prophecy in his hand.
After the triangular cone tumbled several times in the air, it landed in Nimrod's outstretched hand, and a scene that looked like a holographic projection appeared before his eyes.
After noting down the star chart, he entered it into the Data Crystal.
