"Whisper of Silence"
In the Sol System, within a 3,000-kilometer radius of the vicinity of the Gate of Bliss, the drifting gray matter generated by the Voidship over thousands of years has largely disappeared, making the entire space appear somewhat clearer.
Over the course of fifteen days, "The Listener" has grasped the bait offered by the unknown C'tan.
On this day, as he "listened," he heard entirely new things.
"I am Tear of Silence Kalugula."
The Listener's mind raced, and he thought to himself:
[Tear of Silence is not one of the C'tan that Father mentioned.]
Tear of Silence and Siren Dust are two terms that can be linked.
The fact that ordinary people lose interest in everything after touching the Siren Dust can also be seen as a form of Silence.
"I am the true God, the living embodiment of this universe."
"Go here, and I will be there to grant you supreme power."
"You will liberate me, and I will travel the Milky Way and unite with my various parts."
Upon hearing these words, "Secrets Suppliant" felt as if stars were shattering within his body, and countless voices echoed in his ears.
"Heh heh, a pathetic, lost soul, presuming to be a god."
"He can give you great power, what will you do?"
"..."
As if hearing his innermost thoughts, a majestic voice resounded in his ears.
"Warp is all illusion; I am the form and manifestation of existence of this universe."
"I am Tear of Silence Kalugula; I am the C'tan; I am the stars and the tides of time."
"I am God, and you will serve me. Set me free!"
The "Listener" did not respond; he ascended to the Third Mindset Thelema's state of mind, causing the sounds around him to disappear; he ceased to "listen."
Although he gained the "Whisper of Silence" by "listening" to the voice of the Tear of Silence, the power bestowed upon him by the Black Emperor was far greater.
"Whisper of Silence" is the name he gave to the ability he gained after learning that the mysterious being was C'tan named the Tear of Silence.
More importantly, he would never betray the Black Emperor and become a slave to the C'tan Shard.
Ramsey opened his eyes and was astonished to see rows of tiny particles spreading out before him, forming a picture.
He felt the Pathway before him was somewhat familiar. He paused for a moment before realizing that it was similar to the star charts he had recorded when he was Lexicanum.
[The Tear of Silence, controlling the Siren Dust, showed me the galaxy he was trapped in.]
What is that?
A "Mystery Pryer" stared in astonishment at the void, where dust particles were rapidly arranging themselves in a bizarre pattern, forming a scene that made one suspect as if a giant hand was manipulating it.
Ramsey offered no explanation, but instead issued the order.
"Make a record of him."
The Librarian members collectively entered First Layer of Magnus Mindset, imprinting the image formed by the Siren Dust into their minds.
As the gray substance dispersed and began to drift again, Ramsey gave the order to end it.
He ordered all Librarian to sketch out the star charts they had seen, and after confirming their accuracy through comparison, he ordered them to return to the Shadow of the Throne.
Ramsey quickly completed the ritual preparations, offered sacrifices to the Black Emperor, and then clasped his hands together in prayer.
"My lord, the unknown being has revealed its true nature to me."
The black mist engulfed Ramsey, and when he came to his senses, he found himself in the Mysterious Kingdom.
Nimrod, seated high on his the Throne, asked Ramsey a question.
"Who is he?"
"Tear of Silence Kalugula".
Upon hearing Ramsey's reply, Nimrod nodded slightly.
[Tear of Silence and Siren Dust do indeed share some similarities.]
I remember the Tear of Silence was special; after it was shattered, Silent King Szarekh decreed that no Necron Dynasty was allowed to use it.
He was Imprisonment on a planet that later became an Imperium prison world called the Penal Colony of Saint Athena, a world visited by future "Black Templars" Warrior.
While Nimrod was pondering, Ramsey took out the Data Slate.
"My lord, the Tear of Silence has shown me a star map leading to his Imprisonment world. Please examine it."
The Primarch's Primarch Telekinesis spread, bringing the Data Slate in front of him. After glancing at it, he thought to himself.
[Not the Penal Colony of Saint Athena.]
Where were the escaped fragments sealed after the great battle at the Gate of Bliss?
After Nimrod reached a conclusion, he gave the instructions.
"Recorded in Data Crystal."
After facing the Transcendent C'tan, Nimrod assessed his own strength and realized he was not confident he could obtain it.
Although both are Transcendent C'tan, the Tear of Silence may be much weaker than the Void Dragon, but it is still a powerful being.
The Data Crystal produced by the Orb Weaver League and the Crystal Illusion Realm allow "Shadow of Order" to record all important information within Data Crystal.
Star charts are naturally considered important and high-value information and will be recorded in Librarian.
Nimrod currently has four confirmed "assets" that are ready to be acquired.
He predicted that the easiest to obtain, and the most effective weapon for the "Second Rangdan War," would be the Void Claws, the Doomsday Weapon of the Vigilant Star.
Necromunda, the giant octopus worshipped by the fish-men, is a formidable opponent, but his enormous size could cause ecological damage during the battle. Nimrod will only act when he has the ability to kill him quickly.
The two Transcendent C'tan, the Tear of Silence has just obtained his position and the Void Dragon within the Jormungandr Star Monolith in the Attila system, are quite powerful, and he is not yet confident in his abilities.
Nimrod gathered his thoughts, looked at the "Listener" in front of him, and after seeing its perfectly integrated dark red aura, he spoke.
"You have mastered the new power I have bestowed upon you, and I am happy for you."
Remaining in the role of "Listener" for too long is dangerous, and he required Ramsey to give a daily prayer report in order to ensure his safety.
Now that Ramsey has digested the potion, he no longer needs to worry about it.
"Later, I will grant you new power."
"Thank you, my lord," Ramsey said devoutly, then reported, "My lord, I will call the power I gained from the Tear of Silence 'Whisper of Silence'."
"I want to offer you this power."
"Let's begin," Nimrod said casually, leaning back on his the Throne.
In the real world, he would cautiously ascend to the second level of the Thelema Mindset, but in the "Nation of Disorder," Ramsey's abilities posed no threat to him.
The Listener took a deep breath, his throat trembled, and he uttered supernatural murmurs.
A cacophony of voices, a murmured murmur, filled Nimrod's ears.
His mind went blank, as if everything around him had fallen Silence, and he briefly lost consciousness because of this Silence.
Immediately, Nimrod regained consciousness, looked at the "Listener," and praised him.
"A decent ability; against most enemies, it will be more useful than your Biochemical Psionic Power."
"It's even more powerful than the ability I'm about to bestow upon you, but your current Spirituality can only sustain this ability for a very short time. You must be careful when to use it."
Nimrod recalled the murmured words he had just heard.
When the C'tan uses this power, it originates from his own power.
When Ramsey and I used it, unlike the C'tan, we used Spirituality replication and simulation of this ability.
While it may not be as powerful as Kalugura's mastery of Silence, it is still a formidable ability, even surpassing my current Sequence 6 Beyonder Ability. Moreover, by constantly replaying it in my mind, I can master "Whisper of Silence."
"My lord, I understand." Ramsey felt that his Spirituality had been exhausted in just a few breaths.
He was not discouraged by the fact that "Whisper of Silence" were ineffective against the Black Emperor.
In his mind, the Black Emperor was the most powerful being.
Since the Black Emperor said that "Whisper of Silence" was a powerful ability, he had no doubts, he thought to himself.
[Powerful, but I can only use it briefly; I must use it at the right time.]
After sending Ramsey back to reality, Nimrod immediately went to the First Layer Space.
He commanded the Space Ape to concoct Sequence 7 "Shadow Ascetic" potion using materials such as the Shadow Worm.
A moment later, Ramsey received a bottle of potion.
The medicine was dark red, reflecting off his faces.
The face seemed to be hidden in shadow, indistinct.
At the same moment Ramsey drank the potion and ascended to the rank of "Shadow Ascetic," in a starport on Mars.
The Sage Akhan Land boarded his ship.
The messages sent back by the first group of members of the Adeptus Mechanicus confirmed a perplexing truth.
The League of Votann possesses many technologies similar to, but more advanced than, those of the Divine Construction Template.
Land is heading to the center of the Galaxy to uncover its Mystery.
