Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 86: The First Extraordinary Genetic Descendant

Nimrod found a large pit with a diameter of 84 meters in the "city" of the Ogryn people.

Inside, there were countless creatures about forty centimeters long, shaped like giant beetles but flatter.

Their backs are covered with a thick, dark carapace with an uneven surface and mottled texture resembling rust or dried blood.

They had four serrated, hooked legs with barbs at the joints, and they covered the Ogryn's corpses, making small gnawing sounds.

When Nimrod saw these bugs, he immediately recognized that they were the only main ingredient he was missing in the "Corpse Collector" potion - corpse-gnawing bugs.

He also noticed that there were five Ogryn children, about the height of an average adult, sitting next to the big pit. They stared blankly at the cauldron and swallowed their saliva.

Dark-colored, four-legged corpse-gnawing beetles were rolling in the cauldron, and a child put his hand into the boiling cauldron in a daze.

He was so slow that he only felt the pain when he caught the corpse-eating beetle. When he pulled his hand back, he pulled the four-legged beetle out with him.

He ignored the pain, opened his mouth, swallowed the corpse-gnawing worm, and chewed it with big mouthfuls.

Only then did Nimrod understand that the Ogryn people had built a corpse recycling factory, feeding the corpses to corpse-gnawing worms, which then ate the worms.

[There's nothing wrong with eating bugs, but is eating gnats really okay?]
Ningluo's spiritual vision reminded him that the corpse-gnawing insects that made these "corpse collectors" were surrounded by a cold aura.

The Primarch stepped over to the pit and grabbed a corpse gnawer.

The corpse-gnawing worm felt cold to the touch, and its four serrated, hooked legs struggled violently.

As soon as Nimrod exerted a little force, the corpse-gnawing worm immediately felt the threat to its life and stopped moving.

Adams, who came over to give a briefing, saw this scene and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The fourth company commander spoke first to give a briefing: "Father, there are only two soldiers, and they were unfortunately hit on the head by Ogryn's club."

"These barbarians are even stronger than us. They even cracked the Malcador heavy tank."

The cold-blooded Adams couldn't help but sigh, he sighed.

"Fortunately, they lack wisdom, and even less discipline and fighting spirit."

"Otherwise, these subhumans will be a nuisance."

"Your company has done well. You have initially conquered your bloodlust."

The Primarch encouraged: "You must obey my warnings and remain calm in battle."

"We will definitely not let you down."

Adams hammered his right hand on his breastplate and spoke solemnly.

After finishing the briefing, he tentatively asked the Father of Genes.

“You like these bugs.”

"Ah."

Nimrod nodded, realizing that this was an opportunity to establish a character in the Eleventh Legion who liked unusual animals and objects.

"Please leave this task to me and I will collect them for you."

"good very good."

Nimrod magnified his joy and expressed his admiration in a slightly exaggerated manner.

Afterwards, he avoided the perception of his descendants and returned to the "Land of Disorder".

As soon as he stepped into the "Land of Disorder", the golden runes on the silver power gloves burst into dazzling golden light even though he had not activated them.

Nimrod waved his left arm, and golden runes shone in the air.

He vaguely felt that there was a power contained in it, the power of order.

[Compared to other potion ingredients, it stimulates my spirituality the most.

The golden scales and order almost certainly contained the "Judge" path, the extraordinary characteristics of a certain sequence.

Moreover, it should belong to the high sequence.]
Nimrod was careful not to inject spirituality into the glove to stimulate changes.

He thought about it and came to the blasphemous stone tablet first.

Nimrod noticed that on the stone tablet, there were still only all the potion formulas for Sequence 7, as well as Sequence 6 "Corrupted Baron" and "Judge" of the adjacent path.

Sequence 6 "Corrupted Baron" potion recipe:
Main ingredients: 1 Osiris Mind Control Seed, 1 Brain Eater. Supplementary ingredients: 33000 ml of Black Lasvolt, 11 teeth of the Evil Moon Clan Orcs.

Extraordinary ability: ...

Ningluo looked at the potion formula and knew that he would not be able to gather all the ingredients for the "Corrupted Baron" potion in a short time.

The Evil Moon Clan is one of the six major orc clans, spread across the galaxy, and is the easiest to encounter when looking for missing potion ingredients.

Osiris's mind-controlling species is active in the extreme star field in the eastern part of the galaxy and will not be encountered in the short term.

The Brain Eaters are one of the main forces of Randan. Their power is similar to that of the Bone Eaters, but lower than that of the Worm-Man Sloth.

The Randan's sphere of influence is in the northeastern part of the galaxy. They are a powerful alien race encountered by the Empire during the "Great Crusade".

Judging by the price paid, it is not wrong to say that Ran Dan is the biggest threat facing the empire.

It cost the Empire over 200,000 Astartes, millions of Imperial troops, and at least several Titan legions to "exterminate" the Randan.

Even at Ullanor, the Empire had not paid such a heavy price.

Not only did Old Man Huang mobilize the Order of Omens, he even destroyed the "Eternal Night Labyrinth" and released the Void Dragon, ultimately winning the victory.

As the main force against Randan, the First Legion of Dark Angels, which suffered nearly 150,000 casualties, gave up its position as the largest Space Marine Legion to the "Ultramarines" after the war.

[Not really, the Briber potion hasn't been fully digested yet. I still need to continue bribing Old Man Huang.]
Nimrod then went to the furnace and prepared the "Corpse Collector" potion.

As a Primarch, he naturally has a genetic bond with the Shadows of Order.

Although some Terrans are more loyal to the Emperor than himself, most of them are still loyal to himself. Considering that he will develop in the Empire, the threshold of loyalty does not need to be too high.

Through conversation and previous battles, Nimrod had confirmed Adams' loyalty and decided to train him to be the first extraordinary person among his genetic offspring.

Adams' cold personality was very suitable for the role of a "corpse collector". While he was thinking, he threw the corpse-gnawing worms into the furnace.

After a moment, he scooped up a piece of green gelatinous substance.

Nimrod immediately returned to the real world and came to a nearby Ogryn building that was barely big enough to accommodate his giant body.

He sent a comms message to Adams, and a moment later the captain of the fourth company came in carrying two crates.

After he placed the box on the ground, he said to Nimrod.

"Father, these are the corpse-eating worms you requested. There are four hundred and thirty-two of them."

Ningluo nodded with satisfaction and spread out his palms.

"You performed well, this is your reward."

Adams looked at the potion with his black eyes, then picked it up. He believed in the Father of Genes.

The fourth company captain tilted his head back and poured the green potion into his mouth.

After Nimrod used telepathy to teach Adams, Astartes quickly restrained his own power.

After Adams' eyes returned to normal, he intuitively felt that his body temperature had dropped.

The Primarch's superhuman perception had also noticed it, but it hadn't decreased as much as he had expected, he thought to himself.

[Astartes' body is far superior to that of a mortal. The effect of the "Corpse Collector" potion on him should not be as great as that of an ordinary person.

In other words, low-sequence potions have a smaller impact on Superman's body.]
Nimrod thought thoughtfully.

"Thank you, Father, for your gift."

Nimrod did not tell Adams where the power came from, and the Fourth Captain did not ask. It was enough for him to understand that this was a special gift from the Father of Genes to him.

Nimrod sent another thought pulse to Adams: "If you want to master the power I give you, you must be a good 'corpse collector'."

"Collect their bodies, embalm their arms, and bring them to me."

"Their strong arms make nice trophies."

"As you command, Father."

Adams turned and left, following the instructions of the Father of Genes, playing the role of "corpse collector".

At the same time, a killing race began between the captains of the 11th and 16th legions.
