"Corrosion" Hathor Maat's Plan

In the Fourth Layer Space "Nation of Disorder," Nimrod's Spirituality spread toward the black sphere of light before him.

His gaze pierced through all of the "Nation of Disorder," and the black threads in his vision were different from before; they now shimmered with light.

Above the black line connecting the light sphere and the Shadow Aspect sphere in the Fourth Layer Space, a light blue glow emanates.

His Spirituality spread outwards along with the blackness, and the light that emanated from the threads that touched Bukayo House Arshavin was deep blue.

The "Baron of Corruption" knew that was the Rule Line.

However, not all "Baron of Corruption" can see it. As a manifestation of the power of the "Nation of Disorder," only he, the one who bears the Source Essence, can see it.

This is a manifestation of his increased authority over the "Nation of Disorder" Mid-Sequence his promotion.

Nimrod saw that Bukayo, who possessed dark vision, was handling official business simultaneously with four Data Slate in front of him in the dim light.

With a thought, he caused black mist to rise, pulling Bukayo into the Fourth Layer Space the "Nation of Disorder".

Nightmare looked around, unsure whether he was in reality or a dream.

Such scenes often appear in his dreams.

"Bukayo." The Black Emperor's majestic voice rang out, immediately making him realize that this was not a dream.

"My lord," Bukayo said, bowing.

Nimrod smiled and said to Bukayo.

"The new Gloriana-class Battleship forged for me by Mars will belong to you because of your past achievements."

"Receive them in August, so prepare in advance."

"Thank you, my lord." Bukayo was the third person to receive the Gloriana-class Battleship. This was his honor, and it was also a sign that he had gained the Black Emperor's approval.

After sending Bukayo back to Mordian, Nimrod immediately went to the Fifth Layer Space.

After being promoted to "Baron of Corruption," the "Nation of Disorder" opened up new spaces for him.

Nimrod's eyes were deep and unfathomable. This space was filled with black mist, the most so of all the opened spaces.

The corresponding ability for this layer is "Corrosion," which is another signature ability of the "Baron of Corruption" besides "Distortion."

So, how can I make use of this space?

Nimrod's mind raced, a jumble of thoughts.

I previously "Corrosion" Rian Ramirez because I had enough power and reason to keep him by my side for a long time.

But there are some people I don't have a good reason to keep around me long enough for them to be "Corrosion."

Nimrod knew that "Corrosion" was Sequence 6 ability, and it had its limits.

If the Old Man in Yellow were to send his Adeptus Custodes to accompany him, "Corrosion" would be extremely difficult.

Their loyalty to the Old Man in Yellow will make this cycle so long that it will be almost impossible to achieve.

"Corrosion" Rian, besides his Beyonder Ability, also had the reason why Nimrod repeatedly retrieved the STC, and he already held the Primarch in high esteem, regarding him as a favorite of the God of All Machines.

As Nimrod thought about this, a flash of inspiration struck him.

[Hmm, looking at it from another angle, we can use it like this.]

Some people were pulled to the Fifth Layer Space and forcibly subjected to "Corrosion".

On the one hand, the Source Essence's position allows for stronger "Corrosion" and requires less time.

Of course, even if you could bring in people like Malcador and Constantin Valdor and keep them here for ten thousand years, it would be impossible to "Corrosion" them; their loyalty to the Old Man in Yellow is unwavering.

On the other hand, one can coerce those who are unwilling but whom one has the ability to bring in.

Nimrod opened his mind and thought that he would soon be traveling with "Thousand Sons". He immediately found a suitable candidate: Hathor Mhat.

The target of the "Corrosion" cannot be too conspicuous, and it cannot be Azek Ahriman, who commanded the Fifteenth Legion and was later the most valued by Magnus.

Nimrod would not doubt the wisdom of a Primarch. Although "Corrosion" is difficult to detect, his reverence for other Primarch is evident in his tone of voice.

Therefore, those who frequently served Magnus were not suitable.

Aside from Amon, who is currently in Prospero and will become Primarch's Attendants, Ahriman, who will become the Chief Librarian and the Temple Master of the "Corvidae Cult," was the first to be excluded.

But Nimrod wouldn't choose just anyone; ordinary people weren't worth the effort.

Mhat naturally became the right choice; he was the future Temple Master "Pavoni," one of the Five Cults of the "Thousand Sons."

His talent and Psionic Energy in Biomancy are the best under Magnus, and his overall abilities are only comparable to those of other company commanders and a handful of others.

More importantly, the Flesh Mutation of the Thousand Sons of the Biomancy are more severe than those of other factions, and Mhat is definitely struggling to hold on right now.

[Yes, Mhat's will is also relatively weak. After the "Burning of Prospero," in order to curb the Flesh Mutation, he made a deal with the Tzeentch Greater Daemon Kairos.]

He betrayed his father Magnus by altering a passage in the Book of Magnus.

Ironically, he ultimately did not receive the power promised by the "Fateweaver," and was instead offered to Kairos by Ahriman, becoming the vessel through which he descended into the physical universe.

The current Mhat faces the same situation as when she rebels in the future— Flesh Mutation.

The difference is that he has never met his Primarch, and his loyalty is even less than that of the future, making him entirely susceptible to "Corrosion".

After selecting his target, Nimrod began to conceive and refine his plan.

The first step is to board Thousand Sons's warship under the guise of showing concern.

At this moment, they, including Ahriman, were all in a daze.

When Ahriman arrived in Prospero, he had very little memory of it, perhaps due to the Affliction he was in.

The second step, while helping the Thousand Sons group, involves taking Mhat to the Fifth Layer Space of the "Nation of Disorder" to "Corrosion" him.

The third step will depend on the degree of "Corrosion" upon arrival in Prospero.

If the "Corrosion" is completed, then he will be returned to the Fifteenth Legion.

[In this way, he can serve as my eyes and ears, and grasp the Psionic Energy Mystery that Magnus shared with his offspring.]

Well, every now and then, I'll have him stay by my side for a while to "Corrosion" him and counteract Magnus's influence as the Primarch on his offspring.

This is easy to achieve.

Nimrod recalled that Magnus was curious about all knowledge. Every company commander in the academy would be seconded to another legion during training to learn their combat methods and deepen the Thousand Sons' understanding of the Galaxy.

The Academy was a command hierarchy established by the "Thousand Sons," equivalent to Chapter. There were initially ten, but one was lost in the "Battle of Kamenka."

No reconstruction was done after Magnus; instead, the ancient Ennead were imitated.

Ahriman of the First Society fought alongside the "Word Bearers" for five years.

Phosis T'kar, the Temple Master of the "Falcon Sect" and Captain of the Second Fellowship, joined the "Luna Wolves" Expeditionary Force. After returning to the Legion, he often boasted to the other Thousand Sons about his great friendship with Ezekyle Abaddon and Hastur Thaddeus Young.

Mhat, the company commander of the Third Fellowship, was originally scheduled to visit "The Emperor's Children".

As a master of Biomancy, his perfect appearance caught the attention of Fulgrim.

Upon returning to the Legion, the Phoenician affixed the battle oath he had personally crafted to his breastplate.

Magnus would be happy to send Mhat to my legion if I bring it up.

The time he spent serving me wasn't enough for me to personally complete the "Corrosion," but consolidating the results shouldn't be a problem.

Afterwards, they can be temporarily seconded under the guise of coordinated operations to consolidate the results of the "Corrosion" efforts.

If the "Corrosion" is not completed, Nimrod will allow him to remain in the "Nation of Disorder".

Once the "Corrosion" is complete, he can at least serve as a powerful and loyal subordinate.

Once he is trained into Beyonder, he will be no less capable than lords like Bukayo.

Nimrod knew that until Magnus completed his deal with Tzeentch, the Thousand Sons would continue to die from Flesh Mutation, and Mhat's "death" would only be a name in the dark experiences.

Well, I've helped Magnus resolve a potential problem and also thwarted the "Fateweaver's " plan ahead of time.

You're welcome, Magnus.

For Mhat, it's a good thing, I suppose. With me, he won't suffer the torment of Flesh Mutation, and he won't be tormented to death by Kairos later.

After devising a complete plan, Nimrod returned to the real world.

Upon returning to Shadow Keep, he met with Arsena Dunn.

"My lord, the Tech Sergeant have already moved into Shadow Keep and selected the locations for the Foundry and the Fortress armory."

"Lucius's Envoy Magos, agrees to your previous request; he requests a supplementary agreement."

"I have prepared the agreement; please confirm it."

Nimrod took the Data Slate and reviewed the "Supplementary Agreement on Joint Research and Development between 'Shadow of Order' and Lucius of the Forge World".

The main terms revolve around the collaborative development of spiral- Morse Artificial War Satellite and the sharing of research results.

To this end, Lucius opened the Hollow Furnace, allowing the Tech Sergeant of the "Shadow of Order" to reside there and conduct research for a period of one thousand years.

After reviewing all the terms from a "Lawyer's" perspective, Nimrod the license agreement. "I agree."

After a class period, the Envoy Magos arrived at Shadow Keep and, upon meeting Nimrod, exclaimed in admiration.

"The Monarch Majesty // Primarch // Lord Nimrod // Vostonia is truly admirable."

"Maglev Train will connect the entire world; their efficiency and productivity even surpass many Forge World."

"Omnissiah /Bless your world."

Nimrod responded with a smile, "This is the result of the collective efforts of the Vostonians."

After signing the supplementary agreement, the Envoy Magos, departed.

Nimrod a rallying order to the Primarch's Attendants for the expedition against Mitu.
