Shadow of the Throne, bridge.

At the holographic tactical table, Nimrod scrutinized the holographic image of Planet Perturabo VI.

Arsena Dunn, holding Data Slate, examines the reports compiled by his leaders, the "Knowledge Keeper," the "Deduction Cadets," and the Tech Sergeant.

"My Lord, after summarizing and analyzing the Auger Matrix Master and the Aether readings across the entire region, five anomalous regions have been identified."

The Primarch takes in five highlighted areas of its eyes and also absorbs the scrolling information on the video screen into its brain.

"Prepare Stormbird, proceed to Area C."

Nimrod recalled that the Tuchulcha Engine had been in a cave in the underground region, and combined with the Aether readings, the area he had chosen was the most likely.

The black Stormbird roared as it flew out of the Shadow of the Throne, Primarch eyes flashing with light as it spread across the ground.

Nimrod first identified a "Cipher Scholar" and began tracking his target.

The "Mentor of Disorder's" consciousness swept across, instantly revealing the formless body mimicking the Yeld Suit.

After being promoted to "Mentor of Disorder," his refined spirit granted him greater mental strength and consciousness than before.

After testing, Nimrod confirmed that he could now rival his pre-ascension state even without the blessing of the Osiris Mind-Control Staff.

As the Stormbird rapidly pierced through the clouds, the "Mentor of Disorder," drawing ever closer to the ground, covered an ever-expanding area, drawing attention to a wider range of sights.

Okafor, a mind-controlling Psyker, puts away the Osiris Mind-Control Staff.

Immediately, having just been promoted to "wizard," he raised his hand and scattered invisible powder.

As the powder enveloped his body, the "wizard" vanished as if erased by an eraser.

The "Mentor of Disorder" vanished from the "Wizard's" sight in an instant, and a thought flashed through his mind.

The scope of consciousness narrowed, and the power of the mind swept away the fog like a brush.

He immediately grasped the "wizard's" movements and confirmed that three kilometers in the direction he was heading, there was a Changeling dressed in brown.

The "Mentor of Disorder" also noticed that a "person" wielding Lasgun was suddenly frozen by spreading frost as he walked through the streets.

Frost spread rapidly upwards from beneath my feet, condensing into ice.

From the shadows, the tall and slender "Witch" swiftly emerged, hoisting the ice block.

Nimrod nodded in satisfaction as he watched the Changeling hidden among the crowd being discovered, killed, or captured.

Suddenly, his consciousness was stirred.

The "Mentor of Disorder" felt as if invisible specks of light had briefly made contact with his consciousness.

The contact was brief, almost imperceptible, like an illusion.

Nimrod knew it couldn't be an illusion; there were continuous underground tunnels and deep caves in that direction.

The "Mentor of Disorder's" consciousness converged, focusing on the deep cavern.

Consciousness penetrated through layers of rock, reaching the center of the cave.

The "Mentor of Disorder" immediately noticed a black and white marble sphere with a diameter of 10.6 meters suspended in the center of the cave.

Its surface is covered with slowly moving golden spots, like a rotating disc.

As it slowly rotated, the figures around it disappeared rapidly.

The Primarch keenly sensed that those figures were Changeling.

He also sensed the tidal fluctuations in the Warp.

As the waves surged, figures appeared rapidly, only to vanish from his perception range in an instant.

Nimrod immediately confirmed that it was the Tuchulcha Engine he was looking for.

While their appearances may be similar, the ability to Teleport people into the Warp is unique to the Tuchulcha Engine on the Perturabo VI.

[The Changeling found the Tuchulcha Engine and was toyed with, Teleport away.]

The "Mentor of Disorder" noticed that the Tuchulcha Engine's silver-white sphere suddenly lit up with dazzling spots.

[I want to run away.] Nimrod thought to himself as his mind raced.

Nimrod had not anticipated that the Tuchulcha Engine would attempt to escape; it did not flee after being discovered during the Great Crusade.

The Tuchulcha Engine even collaborated with Tech-priest, spending thirty years establishing a neural connection with a seven- or eight-year-old boy Servitor.

During the Great Birthday Celebration, after encountering Lion for the second time, he took the initiative to follow him.

[Did the collision of consciousness just now sense my powerful mind?] The "Mentor of Disorder" had a thought, and his Spirituality surged forth.

His consciousness was enveloped by a Changeling, and Invisible Egg was instantly projected into his mind.

The "Mentor of Disorder's" Spirituality was rapidly depleted, and the egg grew rapidly, forming a "Mind Gate."

The "Mentor of Disorder" became ethereal and vanished rapidly from within the Stormbird.

With a loud bang, the black-armored, golden-winged giant suddenly appeared in the center of the cave.

The Spirituality of the "Mentor of Disorder" surged forth without reservation, and the rising golden spots instantly became chaotic.

A Changeling suddenly flew out of the Sea of Souls and crashed into the cave ceiling.

Another Changeling, which was farther away and had not been included in the Teleport range before, vanished from its original spot in a flash and Flash Step in a city thousands of miles away.

Amidst the "chaotic" scene, Nimrod clearly felt as if something within his body was melting, and his mind and spirit became purer.

The discomfort of Spirituality depletion vanished instantly.

Black mist flickered in his eyes, and Nimrod felt with certainty that the "Nation of Disorder" had opened a new layer— the Ninth Layer Space.

At the same time, the "Mentor of Disorder" took a step and arrived in front of the Tuchulcha Engine, where the Teleport had been interrupted.

In his Spirit Sight, the Tuchulcha Engine was overflowing with Spirituality radiance.

The black and white sphere trembled, and the golden light spots flickered erratically.

The power of travel surged within the "chaotic" area locked by Spirituality, and the black and white spheres constantly shifted between reality and illusion.

With a thought, Nimrod enveloped his right hand in a faint black mist.

Nimrod reached out and grabbed the black and white sphere, feeling it as if it were Fireball.

With a thought, the sphere, 10.6 meters in diameter, vanished.

Nimrod sensed that the Third Layer Space contained black and white spheres.

As the black mist churned, the surging golden spots calmed down and disappeared.

[Tuchulcha, even if you Teleport, you still can't escape.]

Nimrod sensed that within the Third Layer Space, the agitation of the Tuchulcha Engine gradually subsided. After confirming that a "connection" could be established without resorting to force, he recalled the entire process of obtaining the Tuchulcha Engine.

[If I hadn't advanced to "Mentor of Disorder," gaining mastery of the "Mind Gate" and "Chaos," you might have actually gotten away.]

He recalled the distinct feeling he had just experienced.

[The Tuchulcha Engine is quite powerful; the feedback I received regarding the "chaos" I created shows clear signs that the "Mentor of Disorder" is digesting it.]

Nimrod quickly determined his own progress based on his previous experience in digesting Sequence.

Including the previous roles, the current digestion progress is about one-third.

Based on previous experience, the Ninth Layer Space will open when one-third of the digestion is complete, the Tenth Layer Space will open when two-thirds is complete, and the Eleventh Layer Space will open when the digestion is complete.

As expected, Sequence 6 opens three layers of space, while Sequence 5 opens four layers.

Nimrod turned around as he pondered, and saw a Changeling lunge forward, but its body was rapidly retreating.

The other body leaned back, but suddenly sprang up.

The Spirituality of the area constructed by the "Mentor of Disorder" has not yet dissipated, Changeling are completely engulfed in "chaos."

The "Mentor of Disorder" infused the Hand of Order with Spirituality, and amber pieces were rapidly formed.

The Primarch's Telekinesis spread out, sweeping up the Changeling and sending them into the First Layer Space the "Nation of Disorder."

Immediately, Nimrod had a thought and headed to the newly opened Ninth Layer Space.
