Santiago: I am my Lord's Beloved.

912.M30.

In the Fourth Layer Space of the "Kingdom of Disorder," Nimrod picked up the Dice of Prophecy.

Compared to the three years and one month he had previously spent divining Be'lakor and obtaining the Shadow Blade, he had waited another twelve standard days this time—five days longer than the week he had expected.

Be'lakor is stronger than I anticipated.

Mm, it's also possible that the Shadow Blade contains a small portion of the power of The Four Ruinous Powers that he kept.

I'll only be able to confirm it the next time I divine Be'lakor's Relic Fragment.

With the Shadow Blade, the object most closely associated with Be'lakor, serving as the medium for divination, he expected the next divination to be much easier.

Information he knew about the Abyssal Void flashed through Nimrod's mind.

The Abyssal Void is also known as the Chaos Abyss and the Land of Bewilderment, a realm not under the rule of the Chaos Gods.

Every dream, nightmare, and illusion ever possessed by all sapient species is reflected in the Abyssal Void.

Each sub-realm is an extension of the Chaos Realm, inhabited by many Warp entities that do not belong to the Chaos Gods: Vashtorr's Soul Forge, powerful Daemons such as Samus, Daemon Princes such as Be'lakor...

After everything he knew about the Abyssal Void swept rapidly through Nimrod's mind, he silently recited inwardly.

Coordinates of the stable regions of the Abyssal Void, outside the Soul Forge and the Shadow Land.

...

Most of the landscapes in the Abyssal Void were merely chaotic, random terrain, constantly formed and extinguished by streams of spirit generated from the minds of all living beings.

But among them were several stable regions: Vashtorr's Soul Forge and the Shadow Land controlled by Be'lakor.

Santiago had to avoid them, at least
