Make yourself Perpetual

The Shadow of the Throne, Primarch Office.

"My lord," Arsena Dunn reported, holding Data Slate, "the Third Legion has broken through to the Archives, Hruds of Gugan have been Purification."

"I have tallied the casualties across the four Chapter; a total of 2,840 men have been killed."

[The casualties were less than one-tenth of those of the "Iron Warriors."] Nimrod said with a smile.

This time, without a doubt, I deserve the greatest credit. Through three sacrifices, I resolved most of the Herud in batches.

Secondly, the Void Claws destroyed Herud's void power.

The Beyonder from the four Chapter are equally formidable.

Finally, Nimrod silently praised Perturabo.

[Of course, your Stasis Device is also indispensable; without it, I can't attract the Hruds.]

He gathered his thoughts and gave the order.

"Immigrate to the Gugan System and construct Warp Gate."

"The 5th Legion is in charge and serves as the exclusive recruitment world."

Sak Trada's Abyss is far from the Imperium's controlled territory and is the only place he needs to hide. The 5th Legion can deliver him there most conveniently through the Carium Gate.

The complex Gugan System is also suitable for "Astrologers " to play the role.

Nimrod leaned against the Throne, thinking of Gugan still existed and Volpa Star Canyon was under the control of the Legion, and couldn't help but sigh.

This is the true victory.

Nimrod recalled that after Perturabo deployed his Stasis Device onto the surface of Gugan, the entire galaxy of Hruds went mad.

The clustering of Herud caused the stars in the Gugan System to rapidly transform from small, yellow stars into expanding red giants.

The Gugan was destroyed by spacetime energy and can no longer be inhabited.

Barabbas Dantioch was three thousand years old, yet he failed to defend Volpa Star Canyon and Gorgis.

Large numbers of Hruds were forced to abandon the Gugan System and migrate to other places.

Perturabo secluded himself for a week, drawing a star map of the Sac Terrada star system and devising a plan to conquer the remaining Herud worlds and achieve true victory using a more powerful Stasis Device.

However, before he could take any action, he received news of Olympia's betrayal.

He returned to his Homeworld to quell the rebellion.

He then betrayed the cause and never had the chance to carry out his plans.

Therefore, Perturabo's victory was a false one.

Thirty thousand Iron Warriors perished, the shattered Gugan System became uninhabitable and undevelopable.

Most of the Herud migrated to other star systems.

Nimrod glanced at Arsena, "I've aged a thousand years, and I've still achieved a glorious victory."

Perhaps, after uncovering the secret of how Slau Da turned John Granmaticas into Perpetual from his mind, I should also make myself Perpetual while transforming Arsena and the others.

While Perpetual is relative, it's still a considerable ability before reaching advancement Sequence 0.

Once Perpetual suffers damage exceeding a certain level, or is killed by Lightning Strike, they cannot Resurrect.

The deaths of the Perpetual flashed through Nimrod's mind:

After Malcador sat on the Golden Throne, he burned himself to ashes.

The Old Man in Yellow's first Warmaster, Ollanius Person, was killed by Horus with a single blow while protecting him on the Vengeful Spirit.

The last Perpetual to be born, the Grey Knights Vaul Dewyn, was also Aeldari Farseer to die before the Golden Throne.

Many of the future Perpetual died, leaving only the Old Man in Yellow and Vulkan as the truly immortal ones.

But at least it will allow me to maintain peak condition and have some Resurrect ability after dealing with the remaining billions of Herud from Sak Trada.

True Gods don't need to consider lifespan, and the "Black Emperor" is the Sequence 0 with the strongest Resurrect ability, but I don't know when I can advance, nor do I know when the "Nation of Disorder" will grant me the ability to Resurrect ahead of schedule.

Previously, the abilities of Perpetual were useful, and the combination of the two might have produced a favorable outcome.

While Nimrod was pondering, seeing that Arsena still hadn't spoken, he asked.

"Arsena, what are you thinking about?"

The Primarch's Attendants was startled from his reverie.

"My lord, having personally faced the Hruds, I find it hard to believe that we eliminated nearly a billion Hruds at the cost of fewer than three thousand Shadow of Order soldiers."

"It all depends on You."

Praise be to our Lord!

Arsena clasped his hands together in a gesture of praise to the Black Emperor before continuing.

"The Second Legion suffered the heaviest casualties, with 1,520 men."

"Most of them died during the Void Wars, when they lured the main Hrud fleet to the ambush site; the rest perished in Craven Underground."

After reporting on the battle of Gugan, the Primarch's Attendants turned to speak.

"My Lord, in accordance with Your command, I have issued orders to the First, Seventh, Eleventh, and Twelfth Chapter, commanding them to assemble in the Carium Gate space before the eleventh standard month of 880."

"At the same time, I have issued a summons to the heads of the Librarian of each Chapter and the Chief Librarian in Mankora."

At the same moment that Arsena reported, Prospero in the Ultima Segmentum.

Ethan, Indomitable Discipline Psyker, boarded the Aquila Shuttle with his hunting party amidst the deafening cheers of the Tizca residents.

Two of his teammates have changed since he arrived in Tizca.

A Royal Court Knight, and a non- Royal Court Friar.

The captain said to Ethan with delight, "Ethan, you deserve the most credit for hunting 9,410 complete Soul-Eater Peak for Father."

880. M30.

Barnett.

Wilshire had just returned from the battlefield in the Gugan System when he immediately arrived in the transformed Agri World.

The "Harvest Priest" stood proudly beside him, introducing the sustainable development model she had created.

"My lord, as planned, Barnett has completed his transformation after twenty-three years."

"The Librarian team," Keri, with his bronze skin, first mentioned the Second Legion Librarian who were providing him with support.

"They cooperated with us to complete the soil transformation of the entire world."

"Testing has shown that the soil has reached 52% of the standard of Triken, the Aeldari Crone World."

"Sufficient to meet the food needs of 160 billion people without causing destructive environmental impact, exceeding the projected 100 billion."

With a light tap of her finger, she highlighted thirty-six areas on the holographic star map.

"The Librarian team also drew on 'Thousand Sons' experience in Tizca to complete the deployment of the mechanical Psionic Energy array, which can predict and control the climate of the entire planet without error."

Wilshire nodded, then spoke.

I want to see it with my own eyes.

"Of course, my lord," Keri said confidently.

A moment later, the Aquila Shuttle landed beside the square, where he saw a Shadow of Order Supervision people practicing Tai Chi in the park.

The sun was warm and pleasant, and the square was surrounded by rows of golden buildings.

"This is the A-3 residential area. Every morning, residents practice Tai Chi before starting work."

Wilshire nodded; he knew more.

Both the territories of "Shadow of Order" and "Thousand Sons" are practicing Tai Chi, a legacy of the Kingdom of the Dragon unearthed by Dawn Star.

Tizca was created to calm the emotions of Psykers and Mutants, while the Black Emperor used him as the first line of defense for the people against Chaos.

Wilshire's gaze swept over the drooping, lush branches, lingering on the vibrant fruit that adorned them.

"Besides Tizca, only Barnett's park has such vibrant fruit."

As he pondered this, he turned and walked towards the farmland area.

A moment later, amidst the enticing aroma, he walked to the beet section.

Wilshire carefully picked up a small pinch of soil and placed it on the tip of his nose.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face.

"There's no pesticide smell like in the Imperium Agri World," Wilshire said approvingly, looking at Keri. "You've succeeded in building a sustainable Agri World, different from the Imperium's."

"It's all thanks to the Monarch Majesty and your support," Keri said modestly, but the day he asked Lady Malena about the characteristics of seeds Cradle of the Sea through his mind.

She never imagined that she would follow Lady Malena out of the Cradle of the Sea.

He never expected to receive a gift from Lord Nimrod and be put in charge of establishing Agri World as a model for the entire legion.

Wilshire's gaze moved from the endless fields of sugar beets and the golden ears of wheat swaying in the breeze.

Enveloping his mind, the Shadow of the Sun transformed into rusted steel and the Shadow of Shadow of Order turned to dust, a haze that dissipated in the bright light.

As Wilshire gazed at the sky, Nimrod of the Shadow of the Thrones, Psionic Energy projection, traversed the void and arrived at Terra's Golden Palace.
