"Potion Professor" Drinks Omega's Blood
In the Horde system, the white Qingzha pierced the Nephilim's egg-shaped warship like a spear.
On the bridge, Khan Hasik, standing before the strategic table, gazes at the holographic image.
Following the Qingzha was the Legion's flagship— the Blade Storm.
Hasik earned the honor of being the vanguard of the final hunting fleet. He was chosen by the Great Khan himself to open the path to the Xenos Homeworld.
Although he had been promoted to the position of Jaghatai's son, as Chogoris, he still habitually referred to his Primarch as the Great Khan — the Khan of Khans.
Hasik's gaze swept over the holographic image; Jiahui's Spear of Heaven was positioned to the right of the Blade Storm.
Jiahui's white spear followed a different path, but still had to advance behind the Qingzha.
"Khan," the Stormseer Borgo said, "A storm is brewing over the Sea of Souls."
"Xenos warship?" Hasik asked.
"I can't be sure," Borgo, his gaze deep and turbulent, "But the trajectory of the waves doesn't seem to be caused by an egg shape."
"Perhaps, it's the 'Shadow of Order'."
Hasik shook his head. "They can't be as fast as us."
Borgo nodded in agreement, and the plasma in the manifold of the legion's warship was doubled, with the booster lines shortened accordingly.
Their movements within each galaxy were even more swift, and the White Scars were swept away with lightning speed.
"Moreover, of the Nephilim, we swept away fifty-three, while they swept away fifty-one," Hasik continued his analysis.
"The 'Shadow of Order' only deployed four Chapter this time. To achieve similar results, their fleets must be scattered across various star systems."
"They couldn't possibly be here now; by the time they arrived, we would have already left."
Just as Hasik was about to give the order for the warship to slow down to avoid being surrounded by its prey, Jaghatai Khan's voice suddenly came through the Communicator on his helmet.
"Hasik, on Horde's orbit, clear a space for the 'Shadow of Order'."
"My brother, Nimrod arrived."
Hasik could hear excitement and fighting spirit in the Great Khan's voice.
Chogoris's Warhawk, yearning for the hunt.
He couldn't Yesugei but recall Togutai Yesugei's mention of the hunt on the Homeworld Rangdan, where Lord Nimrod had hunted down the leader of the Maggot-men.
At that time, Hasik was still undergoing modification surgery and was unable to join the hunt.
Hasik stared curiously at the holographic image, at the dancing black runes.
The "Shadow of Order" actually appeared so quickly.
Well, if Lord Nimrod wins the hunt with the Great Khan, then the "Shadow of Order" might indeed catch up with us.
Perhaps only the "Shadow of Order" remains.
Hasik gazes curiously at the holographic image from the bottom deck of the Shadow of the Throne.
Chief Apothecary Mikel's apothecary is empty except for him.
The laboratory was dimly lit, but the "Potions Professor" could clearly see the pale arm in his hand.
With the Double-Number Black Gold Spirituality knives in his hand, he sliced off palm-sized pieces of pale flesh from the pale skin.
The "Potions Professor," with his long-unseen, pale hands, placed flesh into the cauldron.
Mikel's arms and Mechadendrite moved swiftly, pouring miniature test tubes from the table stand into the crucible: charred maggots, Catachan vines...
The "Potions Professor" added all the ingredients in a dozen seconds. As he stirred with the crystal spoon in his right hand, he felt a little tired.
Mikel rapidly tapped runes on the lab table, and a drawer popped open.
After releasing the Stasis Field, he picked up a small black bottle containing a drop of ruby-like blood.
It originates from the Primarch Omega gene, with the addition of Red Las-Vault, diluted a hundredfold to form just one drop.
The "Potions Professor" carefully flicked the cork with his thumb, and the pungent smell of alcohol mixed with a rich aroma rushed into his nostrils.
Unlike other pharmaceuticals, it contains a mixture of multiple materials.
Adding anything else to the Primarch blood will only ruin the taste and effect.
The "Potions Professor" only added Red Las-Vault.
Mikel's throat trembled, and he swallowed.
Immediately, he eagerly tilted his head back and drank the medicine.
The red liquid slid down his esophagus, and a thick black aura instantly emanated from behind the "Potions Professor".
On the examination table, the Paralysis Grey Nephilim stared wide-eyed in astonishment as a pair of illusory bat wings opened.
A second later, clusters of black flames rose up.
A ball of Black Flame appeared before the Nephilim.
The phosphorescent lines on the Grey Nephilim skin Distortion the pattern.
If any green or blue Nephilim were present, they would immediately sense the terror in their commander's eyes.
Mikel turned his head and smiled slightly; his pale face and scarlet eyes made the Grey Nephilim's skin appear even more Distortion.
The Black Flames flickered and died out, like ghostly fire.
A dozen seconds later, the "Potions Professor" controlled the surging power, and the Black Flames and the Crimson Light in his eyes disappeared together.
He looked up and let out a long, contented sigh.
The "Potions Professor" felt his physical and mental fatigue disappear, and his body was filled with power.
Based on his experience from the past thirty-eight times, he knew that his speed and strength would both receive a slight, permanent boost.
Although the effect decreases each time compared to the previous one, the improvement has been quite noticeable so far.
A flash of bloodlust crossed Mikel's eyes, and he instinctively raised his hand to press against the rune.
Mikel's hand immediately stopped, the Black Emperor's voice echoing in his mind. "Control!"
The Distortion patterns on the Grey Nephilim skin did not disappear with the Black Flames; instead, they became even more Distortion, like an overturned palette of paint.
He saw the Mechadendrite extend downwards, then rise again, and then the pale body clad in a black robe turned around.
Mikel walked up to the Grey Nephilim, took an orange vial from the examination table with his right hand, and plunged it into the gray body.
"You..." The Nephilim regained his ability to speak, spoke with difficulty.
"There's no need for that; we can coexist peacefully."
"I must say, you guys are really good at sound," Mikel said admiringly, glancing at the standard timer on the wall.
"He hadn't spoken for four days and six hours, yet he recovered in just two seconds."
As he spoke, the syringe on the Chief Apothecary's back fell like lightning.
"No..." The Grey Nephilim's voice trailed off, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Mikel tapped a red lightning bolt rune on the lower side of the inspection table with his left hand.
Sizzle!
A burst of electricity erupted, enveloping the gray body lying across the examination table.
The "Potions Professor" stared at the Grey Nephilim. Through previous experiments, he had discovered that Electric Shocks would stimulate the Nephilim's body.
Their metabolism will speed up, and their recovery speed will be faster.
The Grey Nephilim recovers their vocal abilities five times faster, the green three times faster, and the blue twice as fast.
Sizzle sizzle...
The gray body trembled incessantly as time ticked by.
Three minutes and fifteen seconds later, the "Potions Professor's" eyes lit up.
"The effect of the mute potion was greatly enhanced after Barbarus the arm of the Overlord as an ingredient."
"The body of the Overlord is more toxic than materials such as the venomous snakes of Catachan."
The "Potions Professor" previously used different kinds of materials to formulate potions, which were applied on the battlefield and achieved certain results, accelerating the cleansing of the Nephilim.
However, in less than four minutes, it was not enough to play a decisive role in the battle.
Mikel had a sudden thought, and his Brainy Cat raised its paw.
The Data Slate and stylus flew into Mikel's hands, and he surveyed the torrent of information on the video screen.
The Chief Apothecary recorded the key data on the Data Slate.
After the standard timer ticked once, the Surgical Saw behind the Chief Apothecary fell down with a delightful surprise.
As the saw teeth turned, clumps of gray flesh fell away, revealing a mouth and Xenos organs resembling a throat and trachea.
As the "Potions Professor" made a breakthrough, the white and black warships tacitly deployed at opposite ends of the orbit of Horde Nephilim Homeworld.
Khan Hasik landed in the gray world, mounted his Jetbike, looked up at the sky, and watched the black vehicle pierce through the miasma.
["Shadow of Order," let's see who can reach the center point first.]
He lowered his head to start the engine, then immediately raised his Scimitar high.
The Brotherhood its relatively complete fifteen squadrons and six hundred motorcycles spewing air, followed closely behind their Khan.
