Luther, Who Disobeyed the Lion King's Orders, Is the Most Valuable

"Corrosion" object

"The Nation of Disorder", the Fourth Layer Space.

Nimrod high on his the Throne deep within the black mist, listening to the reports of the four lords.

"That's it," Thierry Viera remarked. "The grenade I threw didn't detonate inside him."

Nimrod recalled the scene of Alpharius leading his team in the battle against Slaugth, and he thought of Rukur, the Chief Librarian of the "Alpha" Legion, who launched a Psionic Energy attack at the cost of his life.

Slaugth was momentarily stunned, Alpharius seized the opportunity to throw Armor-Piercing Grenade into his body.

Sacrificing the Librarian is a bit too costly; there are other weapons that can achieve the same effect.

Thinking of this, he spoke.

"Glass Grenade, it will give us a chance."

Thierry understood. "My lord, you mean that when the Warp Brain-worm collide with the Slaugth-kin, they will reach a stalemate."

Howard Find 'Fender eyes lit up upon hearing this. If that were the case, he could hunt down Slaugth more easily and present him to the Black Emperor.

As he pondered, he continued his report, following the words of the Knight Lord.

"With the power You granted me, I captured Slaugth. Inside the disc-shaped ship, the Tech Sergeant discovered advanced technology unlike anything humans could ever imagine."

Upon hearing this, Nimrod considered the expertise of his various "Mechanic Expert" and concluded that Rian Ramirez, who had explored the Ramillies-class Star Fortress, was clearly the most suitable.

"I will have Rian take over the research on Slaugth's ships."

"We will assist the Great Sage in completing the takeover," Howard added.

"After Slaugth's death, the Rangdan Xenos seemed to descend into a desperate madness."

"We suspect that Slaugth's death will result in severe punishment for them."

"After withstanding their frenzied attack, we have divided, surrounded, and annihilated them. Abyss Port is now operational again."

"Very good," Nimrod nodded in satisfaction. "After you've rested, drive out all the Xenos that have invaded the Colonid Sector."

The black mist engulfed the four lords, sending them back to the flagships docked in the four quadrants of the Ramillies-class Star Fortress.

Over the next ten days, Nimrod accepted tens of thousands of sacrifices, including magical potion materials and Spirituality materials such as Basmemanik, Brain-Eaters, and Bone-Eater, as well as Beyonder Characteristic from various Pathway.

He summoned the tested Honor Guard and bestowed upon them Beyonder Characteristic.

If there are still candidates to train, Nimrod will prioritize using Beyonder Characteristic to train or enhance Beyonder.

On the one hand, he was loyal to his offspring, and on the other hand, he was someone he cherished emotionally.

On the other hand, Beyonder are more valuable than Mystical Item.

Mystical Item created from Low Sequence Beyonder Characteristic may possess some magical abilities, but most can be replaced.

Weapons crafted with the Beyonder Characteristic "Hunter" or "Warrior" are far inferior to those crafted by Vulkan.

The Beyonder Characteristic of a "Seer" can be achieved by using divination focal points made from Psyker Crystal.

Furthermore, Mystical Item created with Beyonder Characteristic usually do not possess all the abilities of the corresponding Sequence.

Depending on the creator's abilities, there may be one or more Beyonder Ability.

Nimrod possessed many similar Mystical Item; the Crimson Chain provided him with powerful regenerative abilities, Dice of Prophecy could only be used for divination.

Only the gauntlets corresponding to the "Hand of Order" can utilize the Beyonder Ability of each Sequence.

He speculated that this was related to his being the chosen one of the "Nation of Disorder," with the "Justiciar" and the "Black Emperor" corresponding to the same Source Essence.

As one group of Honor Guard departed and a new one arrived, Nimrod was in his office listening to a report from Arsena Dunn.

"My lord, as you command, the eight Chapter have departed for Vostonia, Cepra Mandy, Triken, and Mordian to resupply."

"They will then travel through the Warp Gate to Carium Gate to await orders."

After reporting, the Primarch's Attendants paused for a moment before continuing.

"My lord, I believe the threat to Aquila Port should be taken seriously."

Nimrod leaned against the black the Throne, looking at Arsena long silver hair was flowing.

Aquila Port?

"Yes," Arsena continued.

"The Astropathic Choir Master received a request for assistance fifteen standard days ago."

"The Planetary Governor reports that ships laden with spikes and flails have destroyed the starport and invaded the surface."

"Aquila Port is located at the convergence point of several Warp routes, five of which lead to the Vostonia Sector, two of which connect directly to Vostonia and Cepra Mundi."

[Once the Rangdan Xenos enslave the local humans, they could indeed obtain information such as star maps and then launch an attack on my territory.]

Having considered this, Nimrod decided to eliminate the potential threat before launching a counterattack.

"Dispatch the 12th Chapter to accompany me to Aquila Port."

The bridge of the Shadow of the Throne was bustling with activity, with the Tech Sergeant, replacing the other legion's Engine Seer, coordinating their followers like conductors according to the operating procedures.

"Attendants, prepare the incense-burning equipment for the sacrificial ceremony to appease the Machine Spirit."

"Advanced technician, recite the prayer and generate the current data report."

Amidst the symphony of binary code, the Mechadendrite of the Tech Sergeant pierced the electronic throat of the Logis-Engine Guardian.

With a series of flashing runes, the data storage device received new data.

Amidst blessings, the Warp sextant updated its data and subsequently completed its calculations and planning.

After observing that the Warp Engine was operating normally, the Tech Sergeant immediately reported to the female captain.

"Captain, the engineering hall is functioning normally; we are now ready to warp into Warp."

"Initiate the jump." Diana Pauline stroked the Brainy Cat beside her as she gave the command.

After a four-standard-week voyage, the Shadow of the Throne warped out of the Warp.

After reviewing the compiled Auspex data report on the video screen, Diana spun her chair toward the command the Throne.

"Lord Nimrod, the Auspex scan indicates there is a fleet within the star system."

"The warships' identification codes indicate that they belong to the 'Dark Angels'."

Nimrod frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Dark Angels"?

The War Council authorized me to command the war against Rangdan, and I ordered the legionary task forces to assemble at Caluhm Gate.

Could it be that the proud First Legion has disobeyed my orders?

Send communication request!

One after another, black warships leaped from the real world and gathered around the Gloriana-class Battleship.

"Sir, the communication connection has been established."

"Lord Nimrod, Luther pays his respects."

Nimrod was astonished when he heard the voice coming from the Communication Bead.

[Huh? Wasn't Luther sent back to Caliban by Lion El'Jonson to train new recruits?]

Nimrod knew that Luther, who had adopted Lion, was too old to undergo the full Astartes modification surgery, just like Cole Phaelon, Lorgar Aurelian's adoptive father.

He was in Astartes, yet different from them, which troubled him and made him jealous of Lion, who had complete control over the Order of Knights.

In 848, Lion led the 22nd Chapter away from the Phineus Expedition to Sarosh, to replace the impatient Star Hunters and Supervision the Terra officials.

The High Lord refused to ride the Stormbird and instead traveled to the Indomitable Truth aboard the Sarosh Shuttle.

When he met with Lion, he activated the device, attempting to detonate the nuclear warhead loaded on the shuttle.

Out of jealousy, Luther hesitated when rescuing Lion.

Although Ryan was eventually rescued after being persuaded by the think tank Zaharel, he was subsequently discovered by Ryan and, along with a large number of Terrans, was sent to Caliban.

This second-in-command of the Order of Knights, along with many Dark Angels, was practically Exile to Caliban during the ongoing "Great Crusade."

Luther and his followers, along with the Terran-born, participated only in the Battle of Zaramund in 970.

Luther supported Horus and Kalas Typhon in quelling the rebellion of Zaramond.

During the celebration, upon arrival, Lion angrily rebuked Luther for disobeying orders to garrison Caliban and Deprivation him of his fleet.

Luther still has a fleet, and he disobeyed Lion's orders and acted on his own.

The resentment of being trapped in the Caliban?

For glory?

The "Baron of Corruption" thought to himself, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

[Luther had thoughts of betraying Lion in the past and will betray him in the future. He can be "Corrosion," and he has not yet studied the Chaos Tome confiscated from the Order of Sirius.]

Although he hasn't obtained the power of Chaos yet, his combat strength is not high.

However, Luther's overall abilities are unmatched below the Primarch; without him, the Dark Angels would not have reached their current scale.

Nimrod thought of Luther's exceptional abilities, the batches of new recruits who "Corrosion" him and subsequently became corrupted, and the secrets of the "Dark Angels" he had learned.

[Luther is the most valuable "Corrosion" target!]
