Samus Arrives, Abruptly
The fifth planet, orbiting the yellow star, is located at the center of the Governor's Palace.
"The Baron of Corruption" Per Koschelny strode forward, his vision filled with everything around him composed of different lines.
The same applies to people.
The Rule Line are the same colors as those seen through Spirit Sight: red for hands, Purple for the head...
The difference is that Spirit Sight sees the overall outline.
The Rule Line pointed to the center, which told Per that his weakness was there.
This is of little use against ordinary guards.
The beams of light shot from the guards struck the prism formed by Spirituality, refracting and dispersing until they vanished without a trace.
Per charged into the enemy ranks, his sword spinning rapidly, the blue light reflecting off his black robe.
Barrios and his men wanted to help Per, but they couldn't find an opportunity.
Their firing speed couldn't keep up with Per Per's movement speed.
Within seconds, Per had broken through the governor's palace guards' defenses.
The "Baron of Corruption" rushed into the governor's palace like the wind, and suddenly a gray circular thread and a flash of white light appeared in his eyes.
He glanced around; the two Rule Line were empty.
[Invisible Warrior.]
The "Baron of Corruption" darted left and right, changing direction as he aimed the white light at his body, making it impossible for the invisible Warrior to pinpoint his location.
The "Baron of Corruption" appeared before the stealth Warrior in an instant, his muscles bulging, making his black robes bulge.
The "Baron of Corruption" twisted his waist and back, swinging his arms like a cannonball.
[How did he find me?] The invisible man saw the other party rushing straight at him and realized that his position had been exposed, and thought in horror.
Bang!
The fist tore through the force field and slammed into the invisible Warrior.
Barrios' eyes widened, then his face lit up with fanaticism, and he shouted:
"Per."
The defense forces and the nobles' private armies cheered loudly.
"I surrender..." the governor said in terror as he looked at the invincible figure being beaten into a heap.
He asked, puzzled, "Who are you?"
"Per Koschelny," Per thought to himself as he spoke.
[Infiltrate enemy-controlled worlds, create chaos, and reduce casualties.]
This is what our Lord wants us to understand.
At the same moment, above the Whispering Mountains in the southern part of Planet III.
Nimrod looked down but saw no protective walls or fortifications, and there were no guards in front of the fortress built against the mountain.
The consciousness of the Primarch unfolded, and the labyrinthine black tunnels were filled with limp and Distortion corpses.
His consciousness almost simultaneously discerned thirty spacious, irregularly shaped rooms.
Melted snow drips continuously from the black rock roof, and over the years, the accumulated minerals solidify into stalactite columns resembling silver fangs.
In the center of each hall is a huge, man-made pit into which snowmelt flows.
Nimrod noticed that there were many bottles and jars around the pool, which were just enough to catch the dripping water.
The ground was littered with brooches, coins, animal skulls, and strangely shaped clay figurines.
The stone pillars suspended above the pool are inscribed with worn runes.
Thirty Snowmelt Temple, nine hundred and eighty-six bizarre corpses.
Their deaths took various forms; some had brooches stuck in their necks, their clothes stained with blood.
Some even swallowed skulls whole, piercing their throats and dying.
Amidst the sound of dripping water, a voice suddenly appeared in Nimrod's ears.
"Tick-tock, Samus is here."
"Samus, that's the only name you'll ever hear."
"Samus means death and end."
The sound echoed, Nimrod followed the whispers, his thoughts spreading to the giant stone courtyard.
It is located at the very bottom of the fortress, a natural crevice sandwiched between the rocks on both sides, below which lies a dark and bottomless deep canyon.
Snowmelt flows down the cave walls at the heart of the mountain, and the cold wind whispers through cracks imperceptible to the naked eye.
Seven figures stood motionless on the edge of the cliff.
"I see it, Samus." A man stared intently at the waterfall cascading down the stone wall.
"Samus is here," another man whispered, turning to look in Nimrod's direction, his gaze seemingly piercing through the mountains and fortress.
"Samus means death and end." Samus's whispers murmured softly, a cacophony of sounds, but Nimrod remained unaffected; he didn't even enter the Thelema Mindset.
Rumble!
Looking at Nimrod's figure, his head exploded, blood and snow water mixed together.
Nimrod felt his thoughts pause for a moment, and then he saw the person who had spoken first walk into the rushing water.
A lump appeared under his skin, and his body size increased by two sizes overnight.
The clothes were torn, dragging behind her like rags.
His face transformed into a canine form, with sharp, fangs growing out and bursting through his jaws.
The other five walked towards the man; their eyes were bloodshot, and flashes of yellow light converged into hazy, peculiar patterns.
Nimrod knew that the minds of these Samus followers had been completely controlled.
Within the spirit of the "Mentor of Disorder," specks of white, like grains of sand, appeared.
With a thought, the "Mentor of Disorder" sent grains of sand into one person's brain.
As Spirituality energy rapidly depletes, the sand-sized egg grows larger in an instant.
The "Mentor of Disorder" became ethereal and vanished in an instant.
The "Mentor of Disorder's" physical body had just transformed from a physical form into a pure Spirit Body when he felt invisible threads connecting him to his body, with the other end being an ever-expanding insect egg.
They shimmered with dazzling light, strung together like beads, and were shaped like upright rectangles.
With a thought, the "Mentor of Disorder" sent his spiritual body, like a kite tethered by a thread, flying into the radiant "Mind Gate."
Bang!
The Samus cultist's head exploded, followed by his body being crushed by the black armor.
The "Mentor of Disorder" appeared out of thin air, surrounded by five white, bee-like creatures, each forty centimeters in size.
Amidst the sound of rushing water, the dog-faced man opened his Great Maw, revealing countless steel-needle fangs, and tore at a person's body.
The person who was bitten did not resist at all; their head and upper body were bitten off in one go.
Blood gushed forth. "Samus has arrived."
Nimrod saw the canine-like man, who had grown to the Astartes.
[Seemingly beyond the realm of possession, the Sacrificial Ritual performed by the Samus' followers allowed him to penetrate the Veil and form a body that would walk permanently in the real world.]
While pondering, Nimrod decided to first kill the remaining three believers who rushed to the side of the canine creature and sacrificed themselves.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, five white bees swooped down on the three of them.
Its ferocious jaws crushed one man's head, while its sharp claws tore two others apart.
[When I advanced to "Mentor of Disorder," I learned that the bees spawned from "Soul-Eater Egg" will not obey the commands of their creators.]
Nimrod realized that the material he used was Queen Bee, and immediately understood the reason.
He had another thought and gave the order to attack the canine creature.
The five white bees immediately abandoned the corpse and flew towards the enemy.
The canine-like creature swung its large, claw-like hands with protruding nails, tearing apart two white bees.
He roared loudly, and a gust of wind swept three white bees into his mouth.
A fierce wind arose, and two sharp horns protruded from the canine creature's head, its hair standing on end.
"Samus, he's here..."
Samus's emerald eyes looked at Nimrod, and just as he was about to speak, a will as powerful as a falling meteorite pressed down upon him.
His voice was cut off before he could even utter a sound.
Samus let out a monstrous scream as his body shattered.
The "Mentor of Disorder" used "Willpower Suppression" to dispel the intrusion into reality and banished Samus, who had not yet fully obtained a permanent body.
Immediately, golden flames erupted from his wings.
The power of the Shard of the Burning One ignited the spring, engulfing the entire castle in flames.
Nimrod leaped out, Whispering Mountains burst into flames.
The Communication Bead buzzed, and Arsena Dunn's voice came through.
"My lord, the fleet's communications chief confirms that the whispering has ceased."
"The various Chapter have established contact with their lords. The explosion caused by the Lord of Fate on Planet One triggered an earthquake, and the entire command base sank underground in the Catastrophe."
"The Dark Lord put the commanders of Planet Four into a collective slumber, and they have all been captured."
"..."
Nimrod listened to the report, "The Demoness of Pleasure" Maria Kournikova has taken control of Admiral Raspadori Kostis. The fleets of the four Chapter have encountered no resistance, and most of the star system has been taken over by the Legion.
"Order the Tech Sergeant to retrieve the stealth Warrior's force field and energy weapons, as well as other standard manufacturing templates."
"..."
He swiftly flew through the air, issuing orders.
In the blink of an eye, he had left the Whispering Mountains and returned to the High City.
Nimrod looked down over the entire city; the flames gradually subsided, the Shadow of Order landed, and the chaos subsided.
On a whim, he set off for the "Nation of Disorder".
