Seventh Layer Space, The Black Emperor's Prison
Upon entering the "Nation of Disorder," Nimrod first went to the Blasphemy Slate to browse the other half of the Sequence 6 potion recipe that he had just unlocked.
As his gaze swept over the "Twilight Giant" Pathway and the Sequence 6 "Dawn Knight" potion recipe, he noticed that one of the main ingredients was the metallic hide of the Basmemanik.
[Hmm... One of the defining characteristics of the "Dawn Knight" is their exceptionally strong "Dawn Armor." The Basmemanik's metallic skin is also incredibly durable, making it a fitting choice.]
With a thought, Nimrod arrived at the Fourth Layer Space.
His Spirituality spread, touching Thierry Viera's Spirituality sphere.
Seeing that Thierry was alone, he had a thought and the message he wanted to convey appeared in his mind, which was then transmitted to the sphere of light through a subtle connection.
Black mist suddenly rose in Thierry's mind, which was countless light-years away.
He saw the majestic Black Emperor seated high on his the Throne, his authoritative voice ringing out, "Take off your armor and pray to me."
"Yes, my lord."
Thierry immediately went to his captain's quarters, took off his armor suit, and put on a black robe with a metallic longsword embroidered on the chest.
He then knelt on the altar in the dormitory, clasped his hands together in a ceremonial gesture, and recited in Dunnish.
"The Black Emperor of the Shadow of Order"
I pray for Your gaze,
I pray that Your will hears me.
..."
As he recited the mantra for the second time, black mist rose and engulfed him.
Upon entering the Mysterious Kingdom shrouded in black mist, Thierry bowed in greeting.
"My lord."
"Drink it."
As a majestic voice rang out, Thierry saw the potion floating in front of him.
The potion was generally dark, but specks of light kept emerging from it.
He immediately picked up the medicine, tilted his head back, and drank it down.
Then he felt as if he had swallowed a pot of boiling nutrient paste, and his body was burning.
Thierry activated his Spirit Sight and focused on himself. He saw the bright white of his extraordinary body within him, shimmering with dazzling light.
Light emanated from every part of his body, swelling his physique.
Thierry immediately understood why the Black Emperor had removed his armor himself, because...
His body is growing.
Unlike during the modification surgery, where the body gradually grows larger, his body swelled up in an instant.
Nimrod watched as Thierry's body grew taller and stronger at a visible rate.
In an instant, his slightly oversized black robe burst open, hanging on his body and barely covering his vital parts.
Dozens of seconds later, the development of the newly promoted "Dawn Knight" was over.
The Primarch scanned the "Dawn Knight" and measured his height.
[Three meters tall. Just as I expected. Even among the tallest Salamanders in the Astartes, none can compare to Thierry.]
Even an ordinary person, once they become a "Dawn Knight," will become a giant, at least two meters tall.
In terms of height, physique, strength, and defensive capabilities, he can be considered the strongest person below the Primarch.
Nimrod smiled as he looked at Thierry, who was somewhat embarrassed by the loss of his Spirituality power.
"Now, if you face Slaugth again, apart from the Inspector, no one can do anything to you."
He was just about to send Thierry back to the Blade when he suddenly remembered his original Hunt-Master Suit.
Although Thierry wore it for a short time, the intensity of the battles he experienced was far beyond that of ordinary hunters, and the Astartes he wore would inevitably help him grow into an elite Warrior in a short period of time.
"Have Malevolus order a new set; the original set, however, can be bestowed upon someone of your choosing."
Nimrod recalled that in the future, someone in Necromunda was lucky enough to discover a Hunt-Master Suit left behind by the dead.
Once he put it on, the Hunt-Master Suit immediately began to comprehensively modify his body based on the data of the previous owner stored in the adaptive system.
He rapidly grew into a powerful figure within days, rising to prominence in the Hive City.
"I obey Your will, my Lord."
Thierry breathed a sigh of relief, letting the black mist engulf his body.
After sending Thierry back to the Blade, Nimrod immediately had a thought and went to the newly opened Seventh Layer Space.
Upon stepping into this place, the Primarch's vision was filled with countless ropes of various shapes.
Spiderweb-like threads filled the sky, giant, python-thick chains swung across the ground like tentacles, and electric snakes crackled with lightning all around...
The "Baron of Corruption" gazed around, his eyes unraveling the ropes through the Rule Line.
The chains in the "Baron of Corruption's " sight instantly transformed into countless Rule Line different colors and thicknesses, Distortion and intertwining together like a snake pit where countless Little Snake slithered.
"The Rule Line... forming a 'rope'."
"The previous spaces only presented one aspect of the opening Sequence; now they consist of two aspects."
The "Baron of Corruption" had deep eyes; he took a step forward with his hands behind his back.
His body collided with the electric snake in front of him, and he saw blue-green Rule Line rise up, swirling around him as if to pounce on him.
There were also white silk threads, like Spider Silk, that enveloped him like a fishing net.
Nimrod made no move; the lightning and spiderweb dispersed on their own before they could touch his body.
"Um?"
Nimrod seemed to be deep in thought, and stopped walking.
"The function of a rope is to bind; the Rule Line are the embodiment of those rules."
"So what is the purpose of this layer...?"
With a thought, he arrived at the First Layer Space.
The palaces within the black mist each store different ingredients for magical potions.
Nimrod went straight to a palace where three Slaugth-kin were bound within golden amber.
He carefully chose the one that Szczesny had captured, the weakest of the three Slaugth.
Nimrod picked up the enormous amber and returned to the Seventh Layer Space.
He casually tossed the amber aside, simultaneously raising his left arm, causing the Power Fist to glow with golden light, freeing the "Imprisonment" Slaugth.
Cody felt as if he were experiencing a long, unconscious dream. He had just tumbled in the air when hundreds of electric snakes pounced on him.
Clumps of worms, as if struck by Electric Shock, curled up into a ball.
Cody regained consciousness instantly after being electrocuted, and his first reaction was that he had been attacked by Biomancy- Psyker's Psychic Lightning.
Just as Slaugth was about to unleash his evil will to suppress the Psyker, he suddenly saw the black-armored Warrior standing not far away.
His movements immediately became more cautious, and he carefully released a bit of his will.
Cody glanced cautiously at Nimrod, only to see that he was just staring at him without making a move.
The worms wriggled restlessly, and Slaugth cautiously took a step forward.
Countless electric snakes suddenly pounced, and the worms shrank back in pain.
Nimrod stared at Slaugth, thinking to himself.
The experiment was a success; the primary function of the Seventh Layer Space is confinement.
So, what is its purpose for me...?
The "Baron of Corruption" looked up at the sky, staring at the ropes that only he could see.
[As the master of the "Nation of Disorder," I can control this space, and it will form a "rope" according to my will.]
With a thought, he sent Spider Silk into strands of Rule Line, which wrapped around Slaugth's body.
The worms were wrapped tightly in an invisible net, revealing the plump worms inside and a dark, sticky fluid that was different from the necrotic fluid on their surface.
Exposed to his inner weaknesses, Cody desperately tries to resist, but he discovers that his evil will cannot stop what is happening.
It's not the Telekinesis of Psyker!
He awaited death in despair, but he discovered that Nimrod had not killed him.
His body would sometimes curl up into a ball, and sometimes be stretched into a human shape.
After kneading the Slaugth-kin for a while, Nimrod released him and continued to ponder.
[If Slaugth is bound here, what about the even more powerful beings?]
Nimrod couldn't help but recall the Transcendent C'tan of the Attila system and the Will of the Tear of Silence that Ramsey had encountered at the Gate of Bliss. He had previously refrained from taking action against them because he was not confident in his abilities.
[The Necrons uses the Tesseract Labyrinth to Imprisonment C'tan Shard.]
I could Imprisonment them in another way.
I lack the power to Imprisonment the C'tan Shard, but the "Nation of Disorder" is Source Essence, which should be able to suppress Imprisonment C'tan Shard.
After having an idea, Nimrod then thought of something else.
The significance of doing this is to transfer the C'tan Shard, which Imprisonment in the outside world, to my private space for exclusive possession.
This is a prison!
After Nimrod understood the function of the Seventh Layer Space, he thought to himself.
[But I still don't have the ability to benefit from it.]
Suddenly, a chain appeared in the eyes of the "Baron of Corruption" and bound Slaugth to his body.
A sudden thought flashed through his mind.
[Yes, a "rope" made of Rule Line, a combination of two abilities.]
I "linked" the Shadow Aspect of the "Nation of Disorder" with the Fourth Layer Space, enabling real-time intergalactic communication and meetings, which is a combination of the two layers of space.
Therefore, I can also bind the individuals in the Seventh Layer Space with "ropes" and connect them through the "connection" in the Fourth Layer Space. In this way, I should be able to mobilize their power to some extent.
Nimrod couldn't help but think of how the Necrons used the C'tan Shard as energy sources and weapons.
I should also be able to use the C'tan Shard as energy centers to power other spaces.
Perhaps, their abilities can be invoked through occult methods.
Thinking of this, Nimrod's gaze fell on Slaugth again, and he immediately decided to use him as the first test subject.
With a thought, he returned to the real world.
Nimrod sent messages to Arsena Dunn and Thomas, summoning them to come.
