Rescuing Omega Early, Need Live Specimens
Let's split it.
September of 863.
Vicious Sector, Shadow of the Throne, Primarch Office.
After listening to Kien's report, Nimrod fell into deep thought.
[Slaugth was only concerned with escaping from Perturabo; he had no scepter capable of firing destructive rays, and no numerous constructs to protect him.]
His regenerative abilities were also weak, and he was killed by Perturabo's external attack.
He should be the lowest-ranking infiltrator in the Slaugth.
Nimrod recalled that during the "Rangdan Xenocides," Alpharius learned that his Twin Primarchs brother Omega had ended up in Bal Sarvor.
He led his men to that planet.
Alpharius then discovered with rage that Slaugth was using their biotechnology to attempt to enslave Omega.
In close combat, Alpharius was no match for Slaugth; the Slaugth-kin's powerful regenerative abilities...
His Power Lance was knocked away, worm tentacles wrapped around his waist, and necrotic acid Corrosion his armor.
Ultimately, it was the think tank director Rukur who sacrificed his life to launch a psionic attack, stunning Schloss for a second, which gave his Primarch the opportunity to insert an armor-piercing grenade into Schloss and detonate it.
Rukur knew he was going to die the moment before he launched his attack. He had used his Psionic Energy shortly before, and seconds later he collapsed to his knees in Affliction, convulsing and gagging.
He was a powerful Chief Librarian the Astartes think tank, with a will far beyond that of ordinary people, but he was still countered the moment he touched Slaugth's mind.
Even if Perturabo Alpharius, he couldn't possibly kill a Slaugth Overseer, or even a Destroyer, so easily.
After all, even when the three Primarch, including Lion El'Jonson, fought their final battle in Thramas, the situation was extremely dire.
Perturabo encountered an infiltrator.
Nimrod came to a conclusion, when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.
[Yes, I can go to Bal Savor to rescue him a few years earlier, before Alpharius knows Omega's location.]
Nimrod believed that Slaugth would not be lenient with Omega; since he wanted to enslave Omega, he would definitely conduct a comprehensive study of him.
[Slaugth's science and technology have perfectly broken down the boundaries between organic and inorganic matter. Their biochemical synthesis technology can achieve various functions and act entirely according to the will of its master.]
Slaugth's laboratory was invaluable, containing not only research data but also live samples such as blood and skin tissue, which could be used to create occult items and discover the infiltrated Alpha.
The blood of the Primarch contains powerful, mysterious energy.
Nimrod knew that the future Great Unclean One Ku'gath had created a disease called the Godblight using a drop of Guilliman's blood.
Omega was being tortured to the point of despair by Slaugth. I spared him from Affliction and prevented Alpha from losing its Chief Librarian and a large number of elites. In return, I only asked for some live samples, which is what I deserve.
Hmm... I really am a very kind person who works hard but asks for very little!
After Nimrod turned his gaze to the one-meter-long crystal coffin in front of him, where clumps of worms and a tattered piece of clothing floated in the Stasis Field.
The "Baron of Corruption" activated his Spirit Sight to examine it. [Unfortunately, even an ordinary infiltrator is a qualified potion ingredient, but it is damaged and can only be used as a Spirituality ingredient.]
The Shroud Cloak is the primary material for the "Spirit Medium," a subsequent Sequence 6 advancement in the "Spirit Guide" class, but it's damaged and can only be used as a Spirituality material.
But they have other uses before being used as Spirituality materials.
Nimrod looked at Malena Skala, the "Biologist's" brown hair swaying like venomous snakes.
"Malena, they are yours now."
"You should conduct your research first, then send it to the Lord of the Forge; he might also find something there."
"When the research is finally completed, the worm is yours, and the cloak is his."
"Follow Your will." Malena raised her hand, and vines sprouted from her armor, wrapping around the crystal coffin.
She turned around, the vines lifting the crystal coffin like tentacles, and walked out of the eleven-meter-wide Primarch office door.
Seeing that the Black Emperor's gaze had fallen on him again, Kion continued his briefing.
"Despite the intelligence you provided and Lord Perturabo's meticulous planning, the 'Iron Warriors' still paid a heavy price."
"As far as I know, the number of casualties in the battle in the Campinas System reached 7,490, and the total number of casualties on other fronts exceeded 5,000."
"The 'Iron Warriors' also lost more than two hundred ships, including no fewer than seventy capital ships, about one-third of which were destroyed by swarms of drones launched by Artificial War Satellites."
During Kion's pause, the Primarch's Attendants spoke with a hint of worry in his voice.
"My lord, we also suffered considerable losses in the battles to liberate Xana and the Vicious Sector."
"Five thousand eight hundred and forty Shadow of Order have already perished. Due to the widespread participation of Librarian and their targeted efforts to address the Neural Collars, the casualty rate is far higher than in the past, with a total of one hundred and thirty members killed."
Nimrod nodded slightly. He had anticipated this, but the Dice of Prophecy still had more than a year of cooldown before he could perform divination.
I will resolve this issue soon.
Hearing the Black Emperor say this, the silver-haired Primarch's Attendants was relieved.
"In gratitude for your previous rescue, the XIX Legion has dispatched a fleet to deliver a gift to you."
"Balthasar has received his comrades from his legion, who are waiting outside."
"Let them in," Nimrod ordered.
After bowing to Kion, Arsena Dunn left.
After the Primarch's Attendants let Balthasar and his companion inside, they busied themselves in instructing their attendants to receive Lord Perturabo, who was about to arrive.
A moment later, Alastor, filled with excitement, entered the Primarch's grand office.
The Obsidian office was so spacious that Alastor, who had just been promoted to captain by the Lord of Shadows, felt that his entire squad could move around freely there.
After respectfully Primarch the Aquila Salute to the Primarch, he spoke.
"Lord Nimrod, Alastor Rorschach of the 89th Company, XIX Legion Corps, salutes you."
"By order of the Lord of Shadows, I offer you 381 Xenos queens and 25 Planetary Marker Stones, which I captured during the war with the Qiu-Oor people. I hope you will like them."
"I'm very happy with this gift," Nimrod said with a smile.
Alastor exchanged a glance with Balsa Kuturi, a think tank member, and found courage in the latter's eyes.
"My lord, the Lord of Shadows desires that I serve you for a time, learning something in the process."
"The Baron of Corruption" said with a smile, in a friendly manner.
"Alastor, welcome."
"I'd be happy to accept your service."
Alastor obeyed the Lord of Shadows's orders and made the request, and to his surprise, it went so smoothly.
He became the Primarch's attendant with anticipation.
Nimrod had Balthasar take Alastor to settle down, then went to his private storeroom and moved a Queen of the Head of the Or and Planetary Marker Stone to the "Nation of Disorder".
Before his final trip, he sent a message to Captain Diana Pauline, asking her to come to his office in five minutes.
He then went to the first level of the "Nation of Disorder" and ordered the Space Apes to use Queen Qiu-Ol and Mind-Control Maggots to concoct the Sequence 6 "Hypnotist" potion.
Diana entered the Primarch's office ten seconds ahead of schedule.
"Drink it."
Diana excitedly took the potion from the Primarch's hand, staring at the clear, colorless, viscous liquid.
It vibrates and undulates in your hand, like tiny whirlpools silently swirling beneath the surface.
She tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, and her skin immediately developed a layer of scales.
A moment later, the newly promoted "Hypnotist," who had been suppressing the overflowing power of the potion, saw the "Dragon Scales " on her body disappear and sensed the changes within herself.
She felt that her physical abilities had been greatly enhanced; her strength and agility had surpassed those of ordinary humans.
With the defense of "Dragon Scales " combined with "Combat Hypnosis," I now possess the ability to engage in direct combat.
Their combat strength should be no less than that of an ordinary Psyker.
She looked at Lord Nimrod gratefully. When she was chosen as the flagship commander, she never imagined that she would possess such amazing abilities.
Three sidereal days later, the battered Iron Blood arrived, and Perturabo, carrying his Trident, boarded the Aquila Shuttle and went to the Shadow of the Thrones.
