Brainy Cat: Today is my lucky day

Through the telepathic connection with John, Nimrod instantly understood his thoughts.

Today is his lucky day.

The Primarch's brain spun rapidly, assessing the feasibility of the approach.

[Brainy Cat is naturally quite perceptive; the "Monster" attribute grants him exceptional intuition, while the "Machine" and "Lucky One" attributes further enhance his abilities.]

The "Lucky One" have begun to exhibit characteristics of the "Wheel of Fortune" Pathway; although they cannot control their own luck, they can discern when their fortunes will rise and fall.

Thinking about this, Nimrod concluded that the "Lucky One" were indeed very likely to find the way.

[Give it a try.]

The Dice of Prophecy need another day to fully charge, and no action can be taken during that day.

Upon realizing this, Nimrod activated a Thought Impulse in his mind.

"John, you lead the way."

He then addressed the crowd, saying, "John told me he can find the Vigilant Fortress."

The group exchanged bewildered glances before turning their attention to the ginger-yellow-bodied, Brainy Cat.

The Brainy Cat, Arsena Dunn, Thomas, and Malena Scala, also looked at their kin.

Black Wolf turned his head to look at John on the other side of his master, his eyes full of suspicion.

As a being of a higher level of existence, even his intuition couldn't distinguish the Sandstorm Vortex; how could John, of a lower level, possibly discover it?

"Lord Nimrod," Arkan Land's face turned ashen, a flash of anger crossing his eyes, "The search for the Doomsday Weapon is a sacred journey, how can we place our hopes on..."

He struggled to suppress his anger, saying, "I'm channeling it into your pet."

Arkan Land knew that the cat-like creature before him was no ordinary cat.

Many nobles in Terra keep Brainy Cat as pets. Although they have unique abilities, they are not intelligent and cannot solve problems that even he finds difficult.

Nimrod remained calm; he was still patient with the talent he wanted to recruit.

"Arkan Land, do you have any other ideas?"

"I need time to conduct experiments and correct Error," Arkan Land said confidently.

"I am confident that we can break through the Sandstorm Vortex within ten years."

"It's been too long." Nimrod shook his head. Ten years to find the Doomsday Weapon was not a long time for any member of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

But it took him too long, not even as long as he searched for it himself. The flying sand and stones that could easily tear ordinary people's flesh and blood apart could not cause him any harm.

"I believe in him, he will definitely find it."

Nimrod's eyes flickered. If his pet could find the Doomsday Weapon, it would surely shock Arkan Land's soul.

As for not being able to find it, that's absolutely impossible.

He didn't limit it to the "Lucky One's" lucky day. Even if John couldn't find it, he could use the Dice of Prophecy to divine the next day and then tell John through a telepathic connection.

Nimrod didn't think this would happen, after all, today was John's lucky day.

"As you command," Arkan Land said curtly, taking the Data Slate from the Monkey on his shoulder and bringing up the command interface.

Arkan Land thought the ginger-colored, Brainy Cat would carefully observe and look around, but to his surprise, it immediately took a step and walked to the right rear, where it had originally been moving forward.

Arkan Land looked at them as if they were pets of Terra nobles taking a stroll, his face as cold as frost.

He slammed his fist on the Data Slate, adjusting the direction of the five Energy Interference Device.

Arkan Land watched the data fluctuate in the upper right corner. Following the new route, they had traveled 1.9 kilometers, but the surrounding data remained unchanged.

If the route is correct, then the jammer's range should be smaller.

As expected, you can't rely on pets; Lord Nimrod's Brainy Cat is just Brainy Cat.

It's just a waste of time.

Arkan Land remained silent, not entirely out of concern for the Primarch.

Despite meeting Lord Nimrod daily for the past year, and having come to regard him as the Primarch among the Nimrod, he never hesitated because of who the other party was.

Even when facing Omnissiah himself, the Emperor was the same.

He remained silent only because the outcome was still uncertain.

In Arkan Land's view, the inevitable outcome was that the Brainy Cat was never found.

Arkan Land pondered, the number jumped to 5.2 kilometers.

Arkan Land's eyes widened as he stared intently at the Data Slate.

He murmured, "How is this possible?"

Arsena and Malena immediately came over. They had expected this; they had already guessed that the Brainy Cat, having been granted power by the Black Emperor, could find the path to the Vigilant Fortress.

"The energy jammer's... range of influence... has shrunk..." Arkan Land said in Shock.

"Only ninety-five meters left." Arkan Land looked at the ginger-fured Brainy Cat in surprise.

John felt the gazes of the people behind him. He could sense the astonishment in the eyes of Arkan Land, the Tech-Priest, several Shadow of Order, and his followers.

He calmly lifted his leg and landed, maintaining the same stride.

Today is my lucky day, of course I won't go to the wrong place.

Arkan Land's gaze shifted between Brainy Cat and Nimrod.

Is it a coincidence?

Perhaps the Brainy Cat randomly chose a direction and luckily got it right.

He couldn't stay so lucky forever. The closer he got to the Doomsday Weapon, the more the space was affected; going straight would cause him to veer off course.

As Arkan Land pondered this, he suddenly saw Brainy Cat turn around and walk towards the eleven o'clock direction in the direction he was heading.

Arkan Land quickly steered the energy jammer around, then kept a close eye on the Data Slate.

After 660 meters, the numbers on the Data Slate changed again, and the influence range of the energy jammer was only 85 meters.

At the same time, a Tech-Priest standing at the edge of the vines suddenly felt his body sway, and then felt an invisible force hit him.

Just as the Tech-Priest was about to be thrown into the air, Thomas appeared beside him in a flash.

The "wizard" raised his hand and flicked out a bottle of bright yellow powder, which enveloped him and the Tech-Priest.

The Tech-Priest immediately felt the invisible force applied to him vanish.

He said gratefully, having survived the ordeal.

"Thank you for your help, Chief Librarian."

Arkan Land's pupils dilated in shock as he watched the Brainy Cat its superhuman strength move gracefully forward.

[It wasn't a coincidence after all.]

As the procession moved forward, the other four devices continued to move closer to the center.

Soon, they were only twenty meters away from the central device.

The vines also shrank, blocking the falling dust and sand.

Nimrod has stepped out of the protected area to make room for those who need it.

Dust roared in and then slid to the ground.

John slowed his pace; the "Lucky One" did not further enhance his physical abilities, he only received a noticeable physical boost when he was in "Machine".

Without the ability to use Psionic Energy, the final journey will be a test.

Fortunately, ever since he started leading the way, he had felt something melting inside him. Having had a similar experience before, he knew that he was about to fully master the power bestowed upon him by his master.

The "Lucky One" would turn their bodies and change direction every two or three steps.

The Primarch, who maintained a mental connection with the Brainy Cat, knew that he was not thinking at all, and that every step he took was impulsive.

Nimrod's eyes suddenly lit up; his gaze pierced through the storm and fell upon a magnificent building rising from the ground.

The magnificent building, as large as a dome, is an incredibly massive cylindrical structure, inside which is mounted a dangerous weapon even larger than the Macro-cannon.

The others only saw the magnificent building a few dozen meters away after walking another kilometer.

Arkan Land looked in surprise at the gates of the Vigilant Fortress. He saw the Brainy Cat casually tapping on the Touch Keyboard, which actually unlocked the ancient Fortress's defenses, and the Vigilant Fortress slowly opened with the sound of hydraulic transmission.

He stared in astonishment at the ginger-colored figure and Lord Nimrod beside him.

[The Lord is truly blessed by Omnissiah; even his pet is!]

Brainy Cat was the first to step into the Vigilant Fortress, and he suddenly felt as if something inside his body was shattering.

Having experienced this twice before, he thought to himself.

I became a true "Lucky One".
