Fugen's Eldest Son: I Have a Chance to Complete Lord Nimrod's
Portrait
In the Fourth Layer Space the "Nation of Disorder," Nimrod gazed at the Golden Gryphon that Thomas had sacrificed to Mankora.
He immediately matched it with the main ingredient of the potion for "Notary," the Sequence 6 of the "Solar High Priest" series.
[I didn't expect Mankora to actually have griffins. No wonder the Chapter is named "Roaring Gryphon," and Librarian think tank possesses the "Gryphon's Roar."]
Nimrod had a thought, which he transmitted to the sphere of light.
"Your approach is correct; start with the Golden Gryphon."
Then, he used his Spirituality to confirm that Wilshire was alone.
He brought a male and a female Golden Gryphon to the Second Layer Space.
The Spirituality energy was rapidly depleted, and a hundred-meter cliff rose abruptly from the black mist, with two Golden Gryphon landing above it.
Nimrod brought the third griffin to the First Layer Space and had the Space Ape concoct the "Notary" potion.
The Radiance, Wilshire was swallowed by the black mist.
Upon arriving in the Mysterious Kingdom, he gazed reverently at the Black Emperor sat high on his the Throne.
"My lord."
"Drink it." Accompanied by a dignified voice, a dark golden potion appeared before Wilshire.
He picked up the crystal-clear potion, which seemed to reflect into people's hearts, tilted his head back, and drank it.
Golden light surged from Wilshire's body, instantly dispelling the surrounding black mist that was one centimeter thick.
As if provoked, the black mist instantly enveloped Wilshire's body.
Wilshire's eyes shone like two dark gold pages.
Sparks of light popped up like Mars, only to be swallowed up by the black mist.
The "Baron of Corruption" stared at the "Notary," and he keenly noticed that the points of light were miniature, dark gold pages.
A moment later, Nimrod stared at the "Notary" who was suppressing the power emanating from the potion.
[Sequence 6 Wilshire can Notarize Beyonder Ability. Leading a dozen "Solar High Priest" and numerous "Light Worshipper" and "Bard," he is fully capable of Purification a world of Chaos cultists and can handle any unforeseen circumstances.]
It should also be on the agenda for Lion Vic, the legendary champion of the "Word Bearers," to acquire the "Dark Mechanicum Era" spaceship, the Song of Slaughter.
Even if AI has been corrupted by Chaos, or resists being subdued, the "Notary" can handle it.
While Nimrod was pondering, Wilshire knelt down and bowed, speaking devoutly.
"Thank you, Lord, for this blessing; I will be able to give even more to You."
"The counterattack is about to begin," Nimrod ordered, sending Wilshire back to the Radiance.
Upon returning to the real world, he had just sat down on the Throne when the Communication Bead in his ear began to buzz.
"My lord, Glenn Worsotto and Akurduana have arrived. Whom do you wish to see first?"
Nimrod, considering his limited knowledge of the prematurely deceased Worsotto and his lack of confidence in "Corrosion" him, pressed the Communication Bead.
"Akurduana."
Five ship standard hours later, the magnificent Purple Aquila Shuttle slowly landed on the Shadow of the Throne.
Stevens, a member of the Honor Guard guarding the gate, watched Akurduana approach.
The Hunter instinctively felt that Akurduana was far more powerful than Skarsen, the foul-smelling Wolf Lord of the Space Wolves.
He was confident he could hold his own against the Wolf Lord, but instinctively felt he had no chance against the Second Company Captain, the "Emperor's Children."
The "hunter" eyed Akurduana warily; his armor was flawless.
Unlike other Emperor's Children, his armor featured more gold than Purple, with intricate etchings extending from the left side of his breastplate to his arm guards.
The Imperial Aquila on his chest gleamed, its wings spread as if ready to take flight—a unique honor bestowed upon the "Emperor's Children" by the Emperor.
A tassel of horsehair adorned his helmet, and his red cloak billowed as Bolter.
Akurduana's two longswords, tightly wrapped in yellow silk, were strapped to his legs.
The hunter's mind involuntarily flashed through the praises and rumors circulating among the various legions about this unparalleled swordsman:
Eldest Son of Fulgrim, the First Court Swordsman, the leader of the two hundred swordsmen...
Rumor has it that he has a collection of 360 military knives, each a fine weapon.
His swordsmanship was superb, and few could rival him except for Sigismund, Abaddon, and Raldoron.
[Hmm... this only applies to other legions; your Chapter Master are undoubtedly stronger.]
The Lord of the Forge's numerous Mystical Item, the rumored immortality of the Chief Apothecary, and the Chief Librarian's many spells would all keep him busy.
Stevens thought with certainty, yet also with some uncertainty, as he stepped into the Royal Court.
Among the Royal Court Baron, there are perhaps many who can rival him, or at least are not far behind.
Our Chapter's First Company Captain, Thibault, and 7th Company, Polti, were both "Pyromaniac."
As Stevens thought about this, he straightened his posture even more.
Akurduana's eyes swept over the Primarch's Honor Guard, a glint of light shining within them.
With a perfect smile on his face, he nodded in greeting and walked into the Primarch's office.
Akurduana's bronze skin dried the moment he stepped into the Primarch's office, his heart raced, and he swallowed hard.
The moment he saw the Primarch, he understood why Nimrod, along with his father, Sanguinius, or Horus, often appeared in people's dreams.
But it was indeed perfect, unlike the charm of her father, it was a majestic beauty like that of a sculpture.
Akurduana felt an urge; he felt a familiar paintbrush in his hand and parchment spread out before him.
He wanted to immediately use his most proficient artistic method—to depict the perfect Primarch of dreams—on it.
Perhaps I won't be able to finish it in one go.
Akurduana thought regretfully, "[That would be a flawed product.]"
Nimrod leaned against the Throne, gazing at Akurduana, maintaining his imposing presence.
Combining his memories, he had already conceived a plan to "Corrosion" Akurduana.
"Akurduana, stay by my side."
Akurduana's eyes shone as he bowed and spoke.
"It's my pleasure."
I have the opportunity to complete Lord Nimrod's portrait.
One standard hour later, Worsotto entered the Primarch's office thirty seconds ahead of schedule.
"Lord Nimrod, I wish to express my sincere gratitude for your rescue in Osiris."
The Primarch scrutinized Worsotto, whom he was meeting for the first time, and keenly noticed the gloomy mood that lingered around Worsotto.
In his Superhuman Brain, memories and information about Worsotto, Guilliman, and the "Ultramarines" surfaced, and he immediately understood.
Like most Primarch, Guilliman also believed that Terran-born were incompatible with the Legion.
In Nimrod's memory, Guilliman threw all the Terran-born into the 22nd Chapter to carry out the Exterminatus.
Despite surviving through their own rescue efforts, the Worsotto and Terran-born did not fundamentally change the situation.
Despite Guilliman's political acumen, he did not Exile the Terran-born like Lion or Corax; he even appointed Worsotto as the Chapter Master of the First Chapter, but his status was clearly inferior to that of Marius Gage.
Guilliman has nearly two hundred worlds under his rule, and of the two heroes he appointed, neither is Worsotto, the former legion commander and now the Chapter Master of the First Chapter.
[There's a chance, but the difficulty should be close to that of Balthasar Kuturi.]
Nimrod assessed the possibility of "corrupting" Worsotto in an instant, then said with a smile.
"This is an inevitability within chance, a result you won," he continued, seeing Worsotto looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Your legion held out against the rebellion in eleven star systems enslaved by the Osiris Mind-Seed until my arrival."
The gloom in Worsotto's eyes lessened slightly, and he smiled as he spoke.
"My lord, I have led the First and 22nd Chapter here, and I am honored to accompany you in clearing out the Xenos."
Nimrod slightly, pondering the deeper meaning behind Guilliman's arrangement.
The Rangdan Xenos have enslaved hundreds of millions of humans using excessively cruel methods. Guilliman believes Exterminatus should be used to Purification them.
Or does he intend to use the Xenos to further Weakening the Terran-born within the Legion and eliminate destabilizing factors?
Unable to reach a conclusion, his thoughts returned to Worsotto.
[Two Chapter, Terran-born]
The "Corrosion" process is quite challenging.
It's worth a try, but not the primary focus.
"Follow me into battle and be responsible for logistics planning."
Worsotto bowed and said, "It is my pleasure."
Nimrod then summoned Arsena Dunn and gave him orders.
"The order has been given: the full-scale counter-offensive begins."
"The First Chapter set sail from Abyss Port, attacking Galen and heading straight for Forged Steel Forge Fortress."
"..."
"The 12th Chapter, through the Carium Gate, was deployed to the Pulheim Sector, liberating 1.4 billion people enslaved by the Xenos."
Nimrod, thinking of the plan to "Corrosion" Akurduana and the arrival of Thierry Viera, continued.
"The Second Company of the Emperor's Children,' and the First and 22nd Chapter Ultramarines, join me in the campaign to the Rosatz Sub-sector."
"The League of Votann fleet, accompany me."
"Upon returning to Carium Gate, the 8th Legion will be immediately deployed to Rosatz."
The Primarch's Attendants noted everything down and relayed it to the various Chapter.
