Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 111: The Possibility of Connecting with Space Monkeys
Mihajlovski and Jorginho quickly passed through the zero-gravity corridor from both sides, rushed onto the bridge, and purified Yogal with bombs.

A faceless man who was deliberately alone found an opportunity and swallowed the egg-shaped head into his stomach.

The next moment, he couldn't help but spit it out. The foul-smelling crimson blood made him feel sick.

He had never eaten such a disgusting alien.

Gabriel led the team and began to study the biochemical mechanical transformation technology of the Yogar people.

Malena also joined the research, but their focus was different.

Technical sergeants are more interested in mechanics. In addition to biochemical machinery, they also conduct research on arc projectors, needle ballistic weapons, spring piston legs, etc.

The "doctor" focuses more on biological aspects. He disassembles biochemical limbs to understand their design purpose, function, etc.

After the Thousand Sons finished their battle, they immediately rushed to the lower hatchery where they sensed the psychic burst.

They were then stopped by members of the Honor Guard.

"The Primarch has ordered that no one should approach this place."

Olmuzd and Apophis frowned and turned their gaze towards Azek Ahriman.

The leader of the Thousand Sons Legion thought for only a second before wisely choosing to give up.

"We will obey Lord Nimrod's orders."

He led the Thousand Sons away, searching the Yogar world-ship for materials containing xenos knowledge.

But when the Thousand Sons arrived at the bridge, they were told that all the data had been destroyed.

In fact, all the stored information, such as the data crystals of the Yogal people, was collected and handed over to Gabriel.

Nimrod began to collect materials for the potion, and all the deformed forms of the Yogal cubs were moved to the "Kingdom of Disorder" by him.

After placing them all in a palace on the first level of real space, Nimrod came to the second level of space.

After several years of practice, he has initially used spiritual power to build a place to cultivate some potion materials.

Dozens of lung spiders weave their webs above the thousands of crisscrossing pipes.

An invisible barrier separated him from the pipe, and running and screaming inside were giant rats from the nest city.

Only when Nimrod comes here in person and uses his spiritual power to open the barrier, just like now, can the Lung Spider follow the spider web, enter the pipe, and hunt the giant rats of the nest city.

The Hive Rats feed on fungi in the sewage pits, and there is also an invisible barrier that separates them from food, making them always hungry.

This fragile ecological balance is not stable. Once Nimrod is busy and does not come in person for more than three Vostronia work cycles, the ecological balance will be destroyed.

The starving giant rats and lung spiders will attack and devour each other, and in the end only a few of them will be intact and can be used as potion materials.

Ningluo's mind moved, and the two doors of spiritual isolation opened.

He flashed and picked up two fungi from the sewage pit and threw them into the pipe. The giant rats of the nest city with a keen sense of smell immediately ran towards the sewage pit in groups.

He picked up the Nest City Giant Rat again and threw it to the Lung Spider to attract the latter.

Nimrod looked at this incomplete and fragile ecological balance and seemed to have some understanding in his heart.

[Order affects the entire body, and it is not easy to build a well-functioning order.]
Ningluo thought about it and came to another area.

A zebra with green and blue stripes felt uncomfortable due to the glare in its eyes.

Sometimes it jumps, sometimes shakes its head, sometimes runs...

It jumped up and down, trying to shake off the uncomfortable things on its eyes, but the black blindfold was fastened tightly on its eyes.

Inside were twelve finger-long colorful bugs, dancing happily around its eyes and emitting dazzling light.

Then, the prism devil worm drilled into its eyes with satisfaction, and the light was no longer dazzling, but the green zebra became more impatient.

After a while, the prism devil worm came out again. It lay on the zebra's broad forehead, and a small worm the size of a grain of rice came out of its abdomen.

This zebra is used as a container for breeding prismatic insects.

Nimrod sensed the birth of a new Prism Worm, and a smile spread across his face. [Establishing order is sometimes so simple.]

The Prism Worm is easier to raise than the Lung Spider or even the Nest Rat. Just place it on a creature with eyes.

For example, the green zebra's eyes can meet the survival needs of five prism insects. It will not go blind until nineteen days in the real world, and then it can be used as food.

During this period, one or two small insects will be born.]
After Ninglu checked the situation of the prism magic insects, he raised his hand and grabbed one of the newly born, colorful insects the size of a grain of rice, and then flashed to the third level of space.

Ever since he was promoted to "Briber", he has gained access to this level of space.

He had conducted hundreds of studies before, but had not found anything. Until now, he still had not figured out what special function this layer of space had.

Now that we have brought the newly born prism demon insects to this level of space, we are going to make a new attempt.

The first feeling after entering the third space is the same as that of the second space.

But Nimrod vaguely sensed that there was some difference between the two spaces.

This difference is not an obvious difference like air or gravity, but a difference hidden beneath the surface.

Nimrod's earliest guess was the difference in rules or order, which is also closely related to the "Black Emperor" and the "Kingdom of Disorder".

Based on this conjecture, he conducted a series of related experiments, such as throwing a group of giant rats into the nest to see if they would form order...

After hundreds of experiments, he has come to the conclusion that the third level of space is at least not directly related to order and rules.

[If I regard the thirty-third level of space as a ladder to climb upward, then order and rules are obviously unlocked only at the higher levels.

What can be unlocked now should be one of these aspects.]
When Ningluo thought of this, he mobilized his spiritual power and injected it into the prism demon worm in his hand.

His black eyes sparkled, and this time he had a clear feeling.

It was as if a faint thread connected him to the magic insect in his palm.

This is a strange connection, different from a mind connection, but somewhat similar.

Nimrod had a flash of thought: "Shine!"

The prism demon worm immediately emitted a dazzling colorful light. Although the brightness was much lower than that of an adult, it did emit light.

Nimrod immediately realized what this layer of space corresponded to, the Briber's illegal ability "Bribery·Association".

A connection was established between him and the prism bug.

Ningluo was thoughtful, then returned to the second level of space and brought an adult prism demon insect over.

He infused his spirituality into the colorful insect body, which was as long as a finger.

After a moment, he did not sense the same connection, the only change in the Prism Worm was that the light became a little brighter.

Nimrod mobilized more spiritual energy and poured it into the body of the prism demon worm, but there was still no response.

After three attempts, he realized that he could only establish a connection with a newborn, not an adult.

[Perhaps, my authority is insufficient, so I can only establish contact with newborn lives.]
After Ningluo guessed the reason, he began to think about what role this space played for him.

[Related…]
An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and the orange monkey figure appeared in his mind.

[Space Ape!

They act only on instinct, and perhaps only the Old Ones know how to control them.

If I could establish a connection with the Space Monkeys, I could assign them to create things, such as the "Ape Force Field Technology" they use to protect against demons, which is used by the Inquisition in the Calixis Sector to resist demons.]
Nimrod's thoughts wandered, and ideas emerged in his mind one after another.

[Well, I don't have to make the potion myself, I can just leave it to the space monkey.

Perhaps, I can also drive them to develop and manufacture what I need within certain restrictions.

[…]
Nimrod, who found a way to control the space monkeys, immediately issued an order after returning to the real world, requiring any newborn babies born in the space monkey tribe to be reported to him immediately.

He then summoned his attendants for a briefing.
