Only the "Black Emperor" Pathway Underwent Metamorphosis

The Temple of Horde, along with stacks of shriveled leather bags, was reduced to ashes in the flames.

Organic mountains turned to scorched earth, Promethium melt flow burned forests to ashes.

After winning its first battle following its New Life, the "White Scars" was the first to depart, leaving behind a fleet with the Qingzha as its flagship.

The fleet of "Shadow of Order" then set sail.

The Shadow of the Throne, Primarch Office.

As Nimrod listened to Arsena Dunn's report, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

In the First Layer Space "Nation of Disorder," the Space Ape began to stir, concocting the "Visionary" Pathway Sequence 6 "Hypnotist" potion.

After being promoted to "Mentor of Disorder", his authority was significantly enhanced, and he increasingly resembled the true master of the "Nation of Disorder".

Without needing to move it physically, as long as the item is within a certain space, it can be rolled up using Telekinesis and then stored in the "Nation of Disorder".

He can issue commands to the Space Ape that establish "connections" and can reach them directly without having to go to the First Layer Space.

"My lord, the Chief Apothecary developed one hundred and six kinds of potions during the war against the Nephilim, especially the last one, a potion that permanently silences the voice and a potion that eliminates sight at two standard times."

"The use of the medicine significantly reduced casualties; a total of 943 men were killed across the four Chapter."

"Although their casualty figures are uncertain due to the 'White Scars' faction's unique circumstances, their casualty count, despite a slightly lower combat record, exceeds four thousand."

Nimrod in agreement with the Primarch's Attendants's deduction, which could be inferred from the fact that his current targets of "Corrosion" Brotherhood of Khan Hasik.

Hasik, who served as the vanguard, was Jaghatai's most trusted person, apart from Qin Xia, the commander-in-chief of the Keshig, and Togutai, the Stormseer Yesugei.

His Brotherhood the largest among the Chogoris, and should have numbered over two thousand, but now it was less than a thousand, and the Jetbike numbered only five hundred.

"Our casualties were not high, but for every fallen member of the Shadow of Order, their limbs were shattered by the Sonic Weapon, leaving no intact remains."

"Malena provides support to the Lord of the Forge and conducts research on Sonic Weapon."

Nimrod slightly. The Nephilim did indeed have unique insights into the field of sound waves; the Shadow of Order left only the Beyonder Characteristic extracted.

"The Tech Sergeant intercepted the Odex circuitry used by the Xenos, and they compiled the Nephilim's Audio Dictionary," the "Polymath" continued to report.

"I have organized my 'Deduction Cadets' to begin researching a new encrypted communication language."

The Primarch's Attendants put away the Data Slate and said before leaving.

"Chaplain Pat has been waiting outside the door as you commanded."

"Let him in." The moment Arsena stepped out of the Primarch's office, Nimrod flicked his hand, and a thin layer of black mist rose, revealing a bottle of clear, colorless potion.

At the same time, with a thought, he conjured up the Blue Nephilim and other potion ingredients from the stored palace and moved them to the furnace.

The Space Ape then began concocting the Sequence 6 "Flame Stealer" potion.

Pat, holding the Scepter of Truth, walked to the desk and said respectfully.

"Father."

"Drink it." Nimrod said, pushing the potion in front of Pat.

"Thank you for your kindness." Pat said, picking up the colorless, transparent potion.

He observed the transparent bubbles reflecting different colors of light from different angles.

Pat tilted his head back and drank it down. The surroundings seemed to fall Silence, and layers of illusory scales appeared on his body.

His body flickered between light and shadow, as if he were invisible.

A dozen seconds later, the newly appointed "Hypnotist" solidified again, and the illusory "Dragon Scale" disappeared.

"Pat, from now on you will be the Legion's Chief Chaplain, responsible for examining the thoughts of the Shadow of Order and providing battlefield motivation."

Primarch spoke, he sent information such as the prayer ceremony to the Black Emperor and the discovery of possible infiltrating Alpha to Pat via telepathy.

"My Lord, I will become Your Shield of Faith, building Mental Defense Line to block all heresy."

After Pat left, Nimrod immediately arrived at the Fourth Layer Space "Nation of Disorder".

The "Mentor of Disorder" spread his Spirituality, touched Tierney's sphere of light, and after confirming that no one was around, pulled him into the "Nation of Disorder."

In the right hand shrouded in black mist, there was now a bottle of reddish-yellow liquid.

"Drink it."

Tierney respectfully extended both hands, holding the potion, and at the same time, he felt the potion in his palms was incredibly tempting.

"Thank you, my Lord, for this." He eagerly tilted his head back and drank it down, immediately feeling the illusory flames churning in his throat, and as if real flames were burning in his stomach.

Nimrod scrutinized Tierney; he already knew the general scope of the Flame Stealer's core Beyonder Ability— "stealing"—from the Blasphemy Slate.

As remembered, the "Flame Stealer" can only "steal" Beyonder Ability, not Psionic Energy or other abilities.

The only evolutionary change occurs through the "Black Emperor" Pathway; other Pathway do not fundamentally alter the process, but the effects of Astartes consumption are slightly stronger than those of ordinary people.

This puts the "Flame Stealer" in a very awkward position.

While both are Beyonder Ability they didn't possess, the "Flame Stealer" is different from the "Polymath" and the "Scribe."

The person he successfully steals will lose their Beyonder Ability within a day, while he himself can only use them for ten minutes.

With all those with Beyonder Ability being subordinates of Nimrod, the "Flame Stealer" has a negligible effect.

He had considered having the "Flame Stealer" "steal" the abilities of their subordinates during daily training, temporarily disabling them to train them in dealing with unexpected attacks.

However, Nimrod ultimately abandoned this idea, as he felt that such training would not be very effective and would also affect his authority.

Fortunately, it can also steal pollution, which is an alternative to the "Sun" Pathway.

Moreover, the method of "stealing" has also undergone a qualitative change, allowing for theft from a distance or the delivery of dangerous items to the other party.

Although it is the smallest in Sequence 6, it can still be useful in certain situations.

As Nimrod pondered, the newly appointed "Flame Stealer" used meditation to gather the spilled power of the potion.

"Thank you, my lord, for this." Tierney thanked the Black Emperor, but his eyes twitched.

The "Flame Stealer" vaguely sensed that the Black Emperor was a treasure trove.

The Flame Stealer could even clearly sense that the golden wings were more valuable than the armor forged by Lord Vulkan, and the blurry but clearly identified item at his waist as a sword was more precious than the chain wrapped around his little finger.

[Only such a treasure is worthy of my lord.]

As Tierney pondered, black mist enveloped his body, and he was immediately returned to the real world.

Nimrod did not proceed with the promotion of Chief Apothecary Mikel to Sequence 5, even though the materials for the Green Nephilim and other items had been gathered, the requirements for the promotion ceremony had not yet been met.

The promotion ceremony for "Scarlet Scholar" requires collecting enough metals, gems, and blood from extraordinary beings to represent different Moon states.

Currently, only the main material for the "Sleepless" is available— Moonstone from the satellite Vostonia, which is crescent-shaped.

The first month of 885.

In the Third Layer Space of the "Nation of Disorder," Nimrod picks up the Dice of Prophecy.

After waiting another month, he could confirm that after the divination Uniqueness, the cooldown time of the Dice of Prophecy had been permanently increased by one month.

Nimrod gathered his thoughts, and Perturabo's information flashed rapidly through his mind.

Perturabo is 114 light-years away from Ra'ms.

Its 230°7′ direction is towards the Drebbel Beacon.

...]

Some worlds in the Galaxy exist in Warp and can serve as coordinates.

Although they are not as dazzling and enduring as Astronomican, they can still serve as Astronomican most of the time, and Debelar is the closest Astronomican around Perturabo.

During the Great Birthday Celebration, Lion was able to find Perturabo amidst the Warp Storm sweeping across the Galaxy, precisely because he used the Debelar Astronomican as his origin.

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

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

...]

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 magnificent scene unfolded before his eyes.

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

Upon returning to the real world, a thought flashed through John's mind, and all the information about Perturabo appeared.

Nimrod didn't know what kind of enemy Lion's "Dark Angels" and Kalas Typhon were facing, so he decided to have the "Calamity Priest" divine it.
