Per Koschelny used the guards' Divination Box system to instantly pinpoint the target's location and the relative distance between himself and the target.

The "Briber" pulled a handful of Adamantine Sand from the waist of the Saturnine Terminator Prototype with his unarmored right hand.

After being promoted to "Briber," Per made targeted modifications to his armor in order to make the most of his abilities.

The Briber hurled a shower of Adamantine Sand at the target location with all his might, shouting, "Here you go, you're mine now!"

His enhanced throwing ability allowed him to evenly scatter the Adamantine Sand towards the target's location.

The Yellow-Robed Man sensed a figure suddenly appear behind him, but he didn't pay much attention to it. It was just a dead man. In a moment, he could use the Enuncia to activate his Chaos Guiding Tower.

He felt the sand-like metal objects being thrown at him and felt even more disdain. The bullets they used, which were as powerful as missiles, had no effect on him, so how could these things possibly hurt him?

As the Adamantine Sand scattered on the ground, a figure dressed in a yellow robe appeared in Per's eyes.

For Per, this meant not only seeing the target, but also that the "Briber" had established a connection with the target through "Bribery and association."

The Heavy Disruption Cannon and the Pyre Serpent Cannon locked onto the Yellow-Robed Man's position in an instant, and rained down metallic gifts on the target.

The Yellow-Robed Man was astonished to find that as the beam of light pierced through his body, the defenses he had created by using Enuncia to protect his body were being continuously Weakening.

He whispered urgently, trying to reconfigure his defenses.

Per's attacks were relentless. As he charged toward the Yellow-Robed Man, he continued to strike his target without pause. He seized the fleeting opportunity that came after the "Bribery and Weakening" defense was activated.

With a loud bang, the yellow robe, along with his left leg, was broken down into atoms and vanished without a trace.

The Yellow-Robed Man staggered and fell. He had not mastered bio-energy, and the Enuncia he possessed was not enough to help him repair his body.

He felt a deadly threat for the first time, but he was unwilling to be bound, and he suddenly opened his mouth and let out a piercing Psychic Scream.

As a master of psychic Psionic Energy, he believed that his psychic roars could severely damage the minds of his enemies.

Even if the opponent is resolute and not severely injured, he can still Reaping the enemy's life with a well-prepared, fatal blow once he has had enough time.

Afterwards, once he had covered his body with the Enuncia again, he could crawl to a location where he could activate the Chaos Guiding Tower.

Per ascended to the second level of the Thelema Mindset, his steps uninterrupted, and then pushed his Mindset to the third level.

The Psionic Energy scream was blocked by the high wall of will he erected, and he drew his Power Sword from his waist and pressed the Runic Rune.

The Yellow-Robed Man was startled when he saw that his Psionic Energy screams were ineffective.

He was forced to open his mouth, prematurely launching the fatal blow he had prepared.

He let out a deep, incomprehensible shout, and an invisible force surged toward the black-armored giant who charged toward him.

Amidst the ear-piercing roar, a warning of Thermal Diffraction Field overload flashed through Per's Eyepiece.

The Saturnine Terminator Prototype's defenses were breached by Enuncia, but the fatal blow, forced to be launched prematurely, failed to penetrate the thick armor.

Per swung his Power Sword, which shone with a blue light, and slashed at the Yellow-Robed Man.

The Yellow-Robed Man tried to speak again, but his throat was filled with a metallic taste, and his vocal cords seemed to be broken. His movements were not as fast as Per's sword swing.

The Disruption Field flashed, completely tearing the mangled body apart.

Looking towards the ruins ahead, Per said, "The Yellow-Robed Man must be the leader of the Yellow Cult. There must be a reason for his return."

"Organize a team to search the ruins."

Fifteen days later, the Son of Vostonia.

Per knelt on the altar, praying devoutly to the Black Emperor.

An invisible gate opened, and black mist surged, engulfing Per and the offerings.

After regaining his composure, Per began to report.

"My lord, I have eliminated the Yellow Cult's influence in Aventinium..."

Nimrod listened to Per's briefing but did not allow him to open his heart and try to obtain the Enuncia.

Unlike "Whisper of Silence," Enuncia cannot be grasped by observing the situation.

To master the Enuncia, one must, like John Granmatikas, excavate the Mystery from the heart of the one Mystery has mastered it.

The "graduates" of the Lectitio Divinitatus, though they all mastered the Mystery of the Enuncia, were far too cunning.

Unless one is incredibly lucky enough to encounter such a situation, in cases like Aventinium's, by the time Nimrod receives the news and rushes over, the Lectitio Divinitatus will have already vanished.

The most realistic and feasible approach is to obtain it from Ollanius Person.

"My lord, I have found a tower-shaped structure in the ruins. It should be the Chaos Guiding Tower you told me about. The Librarian is studying it and looking for a safe way to destroy it."

As Per spoke, Per manipulated the Data Slate, showing the Black Emperor an image of the tower-shaped building.

Nimrod nodded and asked, "Are there any words or pictures engraved on it?"

"My lord, I checked it myself, it's not there."

Nimrod was not disappointed. Although the Chaos Guiding Tower was to be created using the power of Enuncia, it was not necessary to inscribe Enuncia on it; it was sufficient to use it during the creation process.

As he pondered, Per picked up a crystal box from the side.

Per opened the box and presented it to the Black Emperor.

Nimrod's gaze pierced through the colorless mist, revealing finger-like worms swimming within it, shimmering with crystalline light.

"My lord, I have found a laboratory in the ruins."

"The laboratory contains research notes that should belong to the leader of the Yellow Cult. He cultivated these insects, known as Enlightenment Crystal Worm, to train his Apprentice."

"He will implant the Enlightenment Crystal Worm into the boy's brain. The brain of the failed candidate will be devoured, giving birth to larvae. The one who successfully completes the selection process will gain powerful Psionic Energy."

Nimrod nodded slightly, thinking to himself.

[Sequence 7 of the "Error" Pathway: The main material from the "Cipher Scholar" unexpectedly yielded some surprising results.]

How many are there in total?

"My lord, I have discovered over 100,000 Enlightenment Crystal Worm in the laboratory," Per replied.

"From the experimental records, the Librarian discovered that, on average, each failed experiment produced four larvae."

"Based on the information I obtained from the nobles, he must have been entrenched in Aventinium for over five hundred years to accumulate so many Enlightenment Crystal Worm."

Nimrod instructed, "I am very interested in them. Collect them all and offer them as a sacrifice to me."

"Yes, my lord." Per acknowledged the order and continued his report.

"Although the Yellow Cult has been eradicated, the ideology of eugenics remains deeply ingrained in Aventinium's beliefs."

"An elite education culture was widely promoted among the local nobility, and was superior to the education received by other local people and in other parts of the world."

"Therefore, I believe the policy of recruiting new soldiers from the nobility should not be changed."

Nimrod knew that the Lectitio Divinitatus of education had its merits, and he gave instructions.

"Therefore, your Chapter will recruit new soldiers from among the nobles," Nimrod instructed, before returning to the real world after sending Per back to the Son of Vostonia.

He told Tierney to come to his office in ten minutes.

Subsequently, Nimrod returned to the First Layer Space "Nation of Disorder" and ordered the Space Ape to concoct the "Cipher Scholar's" potion.

Having already digested the "Swindler, Tierney drank the misty potion and advanced to Sequence 7.
