"The Yellow Cult in Aventinium should be a branch of the Lectitio Divinitatus."

Per Koschelny found the Vostonian Language words spoken by the Black Emperor completely unfamiliar.

"The Lectitio Divinitatus?"

"The Lectitio Divinitatus originated in the ancient times of Terra. They attempted to build a tower that served as a portal to Chaos, but it was destroyed by the Emperor's army."

Nimrod, who was plotting Enuncia, carefully avoided mentioning Ollanius Person.

Person had been operating under his real name in the Auxilia, believing that apart from his friend the Old Man in Yellow and John Granmaticas, no one would remember his name.

Although it may not be a big deal, if Per encounters Person and alerts him, it could affect his plans.

Nimrod will only tell Per the necessary knowledge he needs to know, while the Primarch will send Per the relevant knowledge of Chaos in the form of Thought Impulse.

"The Imperial Truth proclaimed by the Emperor concealed the fact that life exists in the Warp."

"Warp beings are born from the emotional and cognitive energies of intelligent beings in the real world."

"Among them, the most powerful beings are known as the Chaos Gods, and they are referred to as the Primordial Annihilator by those who discovered their existence, such as 'Thousand Sons'..."

Per's pupils dilated in shock. He exclaimed in astonishment, "So the Imperial Truth was a complete Lie..."

After learning of the Black Emperor's existence, Per no longer believed in the Imperial Truth, but he never expected that there would be gods in the Warp as well.

As he pondered, Nimrod spoke again:

"The current aim of the Lectitio Divinitatus is to use the power of Chaos to 'liberate' humanity from what they perceive as the oppression of Ecclesiarchy."

"The Lectitio Divinitatus operates an academy network that cultivates disciples to advance their Chaos endeavors by combining Psionic Energy power, eugenics, and intelligence. Each 'graduate' is a highly intelligent and dangerous individual."

As Nimrod spoke, the image of Zygmunt Morlo flashed through his mind; through a series of schemes, Morocco had made himself God of Virtuality.

Legendary Inquisitor, Alpha- level Psyker Gideon Ravenno, interrupted him at a crucial moment in the ritual.

[The members of the Lectitio Divinitatus on Aventinium won't have abilities like Morlo, but they still must be dealt with.]

"The Yellow Cult should be a branch of the Lectitio Divinitatus; to quickly quell the Aventinium, we must find them."

"The Mitu developed devices to search for Psyker in order to suppress Psyker of all races. I will give them to you. If you use them well, you will be able to find cult members hiding among the people."

Although the development of Beyonder in the Legion has entered the second stage, with each Chapter forming a core of Major Beyonder and supplementing it with Beyonder from other Pathway.

The 11th Chapter has 52 "Sheriff," but they cannot cover all parts of the Hive City and need time to familiarize themselves with their Jurisdiction.

Mitu's Psionic Energy search device was more effective at quickly eliminating members of the Yellow Cult.

"My lord, with the Mitu's Psionic Energy devices, I will surely eradicate the Yellow Cult," Per said.

"Be careful with your Enuncia, for they represent a powerful force," Nimrod cautioned.

"If you encounter an enemy who uses language to influence the structure of reality, you must kill him as soon as possible."

"My lord, I understand," Per replied solemnly upon hearing the Black Emperor's serious instructions.

The black mist engulfed Per, and when he came to his senses, he found himself on the altar.

Per clasped his hands together upside down and prayed to the Black Emperor.

A moment later, a strong wind suddenly arose from the altar, and items of different sizes flew out from the invisible gate that had opened.

A Terra-hour later, the 11th Chapter's Drop Pod rained down on Aventinium.

First Company Captain Gibbs, leading his guards, landed in the second largest Hive City.

After jumping out of the Drop Pod, Gibbs looked around.

Everywhere you looked was a scene of chaos: burning houses and residents screaming and running for their lives.

Gibbs gave the order, "Inspect, confirm the target."

A member of the guard carried a half-body-sized disc, the largest model of the Metulin energy search device.

The guards pressed the activation button in the center of the disc, and the runes on the screen surrounding it flashed before the entire disc was illuminated.

Having been trained, he knows that the central position represents him and will change as he moves.

He saw flashing red dots on the green screen.

After determining the direction, he said into the team's communication channel, "Four o'clock, one target."

"Let's go," Gibbs ordered.

As a "Barbarian," Gibbs, dressed in the Saturnine Terminator Prototype, strode forward, faster than a squad dressed in the Cataphractii Terminator.

The guards headed towards the four o'clock position. The guards carrying the Mitu Psionic Search Device confirmed, by repeatedly comparing the distances they had traveled, that the distance between the dotted rings on the instrument was 1.5 kilometers.

The team was advancing towards the target, and their direction naturally changed to twelve o'clock. He saw the target outside the two rings and immediately reported it on the communication channel.

"Three kilometers, the target hasn't moved."

"Keep advancing," Gibbs ordered, "Prepare to fire."

The Shadow of Order raised their Bolter and marched forward to the loud singing of the "Bard."

Hundreds of rebels raised their guns and unleashed a barrage of bullets at the black-armored Warrior from all directions.

The Stubber made a rattling sound, like sawing wood, as bullets struck the black armor and bounced off.

Five Cataphractii Terminator aimed their Cyclone Missile at the rebels in the stronghold, the missiles trailing flames as they slammed into the densest part of the rebels.

Rumble!

Amid the explosions, buildings were blown away and dozens of rebels were torn apart by the shockwave.

Amidst the deafening roar of exploding bombs, the "Hunter" and the "Warrior" drew their Power Sword and charged towards the remaining rebels.

Gibbs led his team to break through the rebel lines and advance toward their objective.

When he was a kilometer away from his target, he locked onto the Yellow Cult member dressed in a yellow robe.

The man held a gun in one hand and a staff in the other.

The reactor of the Saturnine Terminator Prototype roared to life, the automatic targeting system locked onto the Yellow Cult members, Plasma Bombardment Cannon roared as it fired at the enemy.

The blazing beam of light struck the Yellow Cult Psyker, tearing his clothes to shreds and setting his body ablaze with orange flames.

In the explosion, his right shoulder and a large part of his chest disappeared.

The Yellow Cult Psyker raised his staff, and a great cloud of flames descended from the sky.

Burning orange flames rained down on the guards.

Several guards were hit by a series of orange fireballs.

He quickly activated his personal energy shield, and a dazzling light enveloped his body.

Amidst the deafening explosion, the Cataphractii Terminator swayed violently.

Seeing that his attack was ineffective, the Psyker's eyes flashed with a blinding white light, and he focused his attack on a black-armored Warrior.

Dozens of orange Fireball slammed into the energy shield.

Amidst the deafening roar of over a dozen Fireball, the gleaming personal energy shield shattered.

The remaining Fireball enveloped the black armor.

The Cataphractii Terminator Armour melted rapidly in the orange flames, Shadow of Order was instantly incinerated into skeletons, scattered on the ground.

Gibbs strode forward, raised his right arm, and unleashed a barrage of bullets from the Heavy Disruption Cannon at the Yellow Cult Psyker.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Psyker was hit by cannonballs and repeatedly blasted away.

Each time there was an explosion, large chunks of flesh and blood would be lost from his body.

In an instant, his body was charred black.

The Psyker abandoned his attack on the other black-armored Warrior, instead aiming his staff at the towering giant.

Orange flames rained down on Gibbs, exploding with a series of explosions as they struck his heavy black armor.

The orange Fireball was blocked by the Thermal Diffraction Field of the Saturnine Terminator Prototype. The "Barbarian" continued his march, Wild Howl.

A thunderclap resounded in the Psyker's mind. He dropped his staff, clutched his head, and groaned in Affliction.

Gibbs approached the Psyker, swinging his Power Blade with his left arm and slashing at the enemy.

The Disruption Field flashed, tearing the Psyker to shreds.

At the same time, the first Hive City.

A tall figure dressed in a yellow robe, his face hidden beneath a hood, only the starlight in his eyes illuminating the surroundings.

"I have lost twenty-three disciples."

"How is this possible? How could an outsider have located my disciple so quickly?"

"My meticulously planned scheme has failed..."

The figure in yellow slid as if it had no body. "I must hide and wait for an opportunity."

He walked through the crowd and headed out of the Hive City.

The figure in yellow strolled leisurely, and his strange appearance attracted no attention wherever he went, as if he didn't exist.
