Guilliman, I've Made Your Cub's Home Planet Great Again

Nimrod picked up the fully charged Dice of Prophecy, and information about Mankora flashed through his mind.

[Ultima Segmentum, the feudal world of Mankora, a harsh world where people are constantly fighting.]

...]

After quickly reviewing everything Nimrod knew about Mankora in his mind, he silently recited it to himself.

[Star map of the Carium Gate leading to Mankora.]

...]

After silently reciting it eleven times, he reached out and threw the Dice of Prophecy in his hand.

After the triangular cone tumbled several times in the air, it landed in Nimrod's outstretched hand, and a scene that looked like a holographic projection appeared before his eyes.

After recording the star map, Nimrod input it into the Data Crystal.

He then returned to the real world and, through a telepathic connection, sent John the Mankora information.

The "Calamity Priest" immediately performed Dream Divination but received no special Revelation.

Nimrod then sent a message to the Chief Librarian, summoning him to come over.

A moment later, Thomas walked into the Primarch's office and said excitedly.

"My lord," the "Worm Charm" has been completed and will become a powerful weapon for us to deal with the powerful Rangdan.

"Understood. Distribute them to the various Chapter for experimentation." After giving the instructions, Nimrod pushed the Data Crystal in front of the Chief Librarian.

"Upon arriving at Carium Gate, you will immediately lead your team to Mankora in the Ultima Segmentum, a world that nurtures far more Psyker than any other world."

Nimrod chose Mankora not only because this world fostered Psyker, but also because the Librarian recruited by Mankora showed no abnormalities.

The Roaring Gryphon Chapter, to be established in the 33rd Millennium, will use Mankora as its Homeworld.

Among the many sub-groups of the Ultramarines, the Roaring Gryphon has the purest Gene-seed, without any defects.

Given that the Roaring Gryphons possess a more powerful Librarian team than any other Chapter, this suggests that Mankora has not been affected by Chaos or other influences.

Seeing the delight on Thomas's face, he continued.

"Besides cultivating Librarian, you also need to carefully observe and uncover Mankora's secrets."

"You can learn a unique Psionic Energy technique from that world, intimidating enemies and shattering their resolve by unleashing a powerful roar like a swooping Raptors."

"This is still a powerful weapon against Warp creatures, capable of breaking the shackles binding them on the material plane and banishing them back to the Warp."

Nimrod decided to name it after the "Roaring Gryphon," a name given to their unique Psionic Energy technique.

This technique is called "Gryphon's Roar."

Nimrod speculated that it was precisely because of the Mystery of how Mankora formed the "Gryphon's Roar" that Chaos was unable to corrupt that world.

He decided to send the Chief Librarian, rather than anyone else, because of the "Gryphon's Roar".

As the strongest psychic Psyker after himself, a "wizard" who possesses the "Eyes of Mystery Prying" and is proficient in many spells, he is sure to comprehend the "Gryphon's Roar".

Thomas's eyes were deep as he pondered the reasons behind Psionic Energy techniques from the perspective of a "Mystery Pryer."

[Natural wonders? Methods of ancient races?...]

Thomas, filled with curiosity, picked up the key to Mankora.

"My Lord, I will certainly not fail Your expectations."

Nimrod watched Thomas's departing figure and silently thought to himself.

[Guilliman, sorry I messed up your son's Homeworld again.]

As the Primarch pondered, he turned his gaze to the viewing window, his eyes passing through it.

The Shadow of the Throne is traversing the barrier between the Warp and reality.

After the Shadow of the Throne arrived at Carium Gate, Alastor Rorschach returned to his frigate.

On their return journey to the Legion, the "Secrets Suppliant" began praying to the Black Emperor at the newly constructed altar.

Ethan looked away, left the observation deck, and walked toward his control panel.

He entered the First Layer of Magnus Mindset, immersing himself in the work of Lexicanum, and began compiling the legion's battle records.

At the same moment Ethan got to work, Hathor Mhat boarded the Shadow of the Throne.

He stepped off the boarding deck of the red Aquila Shuttle, surrounded by Peouk, undetectable to those without Aetheric Sight.

Peouk was like a soaring eagle composed of a million golden stars, looking down on its surroundings with vanity and arrogance.

Peouk's golden body suddenly trembled as it realized that many people around it were looking at it.

One of the groups consisted of a hundred people, most of whom wore Psychic Hoods and carried staffs; they were clearly Librarian of the "Shadow of Order."

But there were other black-armored Warriors, their deep black eyes seeming to see his beautiful, shimmering phantom.

Peouk unconsciously lowered his altitude, hovering above Hathor's head.

Hathor greeted Thomas, and the two Chief Librarian exchanged greetings.

The wizard's "Eyes of Mystery Prying" gazed at Peouk, and through the golden light, he saw a body formed from pure, formless energy.

That was the form of Warp energy condensed.

"What is it?"

"Its name is Peouk, and it's my Guardian Spirit," Hathor said without any attempt to hide it.

"That's what our Thousand Sons calls them."

"Ahriman and the others initially thought they were Angels, but the term was quickly discarded; the ancient word was too emotional and contained too much mystery."

"We prefer to call them in a way that can be understood; they are actually fragments belonging to the Primordial creator in the Great Ocean that we, possessing Psionic Energy power, forced to materialize and function according to our own will."

Thomas nodded slightly, his "Eyes of Mystery Prying" scrutinizing Peouk and Hathor.

He intuitively felt that the Guardian Spirits did not seem to be entirely subservient to Thousand Sons's will.

Just as he was searching, Hathor spoke up and asked a question.

"You have a mission?"

"Yes, to carry out my lord's command," Thomas replied.

Hathor wore a perfect smile. "Then I certainly wouldn't dare delay your schedule."

"I wish to pay my respects to Lord Nimrod."

Thomas nodded, and he led a hundred Legion Library aboard the Stormbird, flying toward the cruiser.

Ethan, from Barbarus, is a rare Indomitable Discipline Psyker who has just been granted power by the Primarch and become a "Warrior".

He gazed through the Stormbird's viewing window at the warships in the void.

A deathly gray warship without "Death Guard".

After stepping off the deck, Ethan immediately entered the First Layer of Magnus Mindset to calm his turbulent thoughts.

He immediately began working as Lexicanum, compiling the legion's combat records.

At the same moment, Hathor stepped into the Primarch's office.

The Gene Primarch looked up from the desk and gazed at the shimmering phantom in the air.

Peouk immediately felt an immense pressure and cowered fearfully behind Hathor's crimson Cataphractii Terminator Armour.

It heard the sound of a sword being drawn, and it screamed in terror.

The next instant, an invisible force struck it, and it was thrown into an invisible vortex while spinning.

"My lord," Hathor, who had a similar experience, said, "You have succeeded. You have created Sothmes Sigil, the same symbol."

Nimrod nodded slightly. "You will learn it."

"The Guardian Spirits are not benevolent; be careful."

Although he knew that Hathor was one of the few Thousand Sons who hadn't been controlled by the Guardian Spirits and hadn't been overwhelmed by Warp energy, he still gave him a warning.

He also won't Purification Peouk, and without Guardian Spirit, Hathor will be ostracized.

Purification it before the "Burning of Prospero".

Before that, as long as Hathor possessed the Euclidean Sigil, he could temporarily block Peouk when needed.

Hathor replied thoughtfully, "My lord, I understand. I will be more careful in the future."

He then gave a briefing, reporting on the details of the Dawn Star rescue operation, including those details that had not been submitted to the War Council.

Finally, he pulled out a Data Crystal.

"My lord, these are all the secrets of the Kingdom of the Dragon that 'Thousand Sons' possess."

Nimrod nodded slightly. "Congratulations, you've achieved your goal of becoming the Chief Librarian."

"It is all thanks to my lord's grace," Hathor said sincerely. If he had not met Lord Nimrod, he would not have had the opportunity to challenge Ahriman, let alone defeat him.

"My lord, Father has entrusted Alexandria IV to my command; the Cult of Destruction is at my disposal."

[Alexandria IV.] The Primarch's Superhuman Brain briefly recalled the situation in this world.

Alexandria IV was one of the first worlds to be recaptured after Magnus returned to the Legion, and it is a symbol of the Fifteenth Legion's achievements.

The Imperium's best engineers worked together with the "Thousand Sons" to build a Prospero- style city in Alexandria IV.

Alexandria IV, centered on erudition, is the largest treasure trove of knowledge among the "Thousand Sons" besides Tizca.

"This is the power you gained by becoming the Chief Librarian."

Nimrod knew that in addition to the Five Cults, there were many smaller organizations within the "Thousand Sons".

The "Cult of Destruction" is one of the more powerful ones, with each member being an actuary, Logician, analyst, and highly capable organizer.

The "Cult of Destruction" prioritizes logistical support, and the Thousand Sons's warships are also under the control of the cult.

They were responsible for developing battle plans, and were therefore often deployed behind the lines of any major battle of the "Thousand Sons".

Alexandria IV was originally meticulously planned and built by the "Cult of Destruction," and now Magnus is handing it over to Hathor, which is the power he gained as the Chief Librarian.

"Control of Alexandria IV and the 'Cult of Destruction'."

"Yes, my lord," Hathor replied confidently.

With a thought, Nimrod transmitted the Mystery of the Euclidean Sigil to Hathor through a telepathic connection.

He drew the Sword of Vaul and, with a swing, dispelled the Euclidean Sigil.

"Please wait outside for five minutes and come in."

The Guardian Spirits banished back to the Warp were unable to return to the real world on their own before Hathor performed the summoning ritual.

A moment later, Nimrod gave instructions to Hathor, who had become a "Hypnotist".

"Psychological Suggestion the Thousand Sons of your 'Pavoni,' the Second Fellowship, and the 'Cult of Destruction,' making them loyal to you."

"Ignis is the primary target."

Ignis, the Lord of Destruction, is the future leader of the "Cult of Destruction" and is particularly skilled in space warfare.

He has faced off against several space warfare experts from other legions and has not been defeated.

His most brilliant achievement was the Battle of Alexandria IV, held during Great Birthday Celebration.

Ignis's "Cult of Destruction" Crimson Fists Pollux, the Imperial Fists Chapter Master who once fought against Perturabo in the space war, with ease.

The Cult of Destruction, led by Ignis, is a leader in space warfare.

"As you wish, my lord."
