Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 89: Horus's Stunning Punch

The giant mutated Ogryn rushed towards Nimrod, smashing through the giant stone buildings and sending its smaller kin flying that stood in his way.

Horus was slightly shocked when he saw the huge mutated Ogryn and its terrifying impact.

He quickened his pace, wanting to go forward and help his brother.

Ning Lu looked at the mutated Ogryn rushing towards him, his eyes lit up. He had finally met a suitable subject to test the power gloves he had obtained.

He tried to inject his spiritual energy into the gloves with a golden scale painted on the back of his hand, which was the same symbol as the "Judge" path. As if a switch was touched, the spiritual energy in his body was instantly drained.

The silver boxing gloves burst out with dazzling golden light, and Ningluo felt a force dragging his body forward.

He did not resist, allowing the force to drag his body forward.

Ningluo was alert and ready to control his body and stop at any time if anything unusual happened.

Horus, who was striding over, was surprised to see his brother leaning forward and waving his arms.

His body became one with some strange force, leaving an afterimage as he crashed into the enemy.

The power glove hit the target's head accurately with an irresistible and unavoidable posture. The huge mutant Ogryn's head, along with the nearly one-meter-long insects crawling on the back of his head, neck and spine, were blown up by a punch.

Horus was slightly surprised. Nimrod's punch was amazing.

[I should be able to do that too.]
He committed the moment just now to memory, and prepared to find an opportunity to put on the power gloves and try to see if he could complete it.

Nimrod, whose spirit was dry, thought thoughtfully.

[The Beyonder ability of the "Punishment Knight" is "Death." The silver gloves are items from the "Judge" path, and the Beyonder characteristics contained within them are at least Sequence 5.]
Just as he came to this conclusion, Horus turned his gaze towards the Ice Blade Team running after Nimrod.

The Primarch immediately noticed that even though these black-armored warriors attacked the mutant Ogryn in anger, they were not driven by their usual desire for killing.

Horus had commanded the Reapers for a long time and knew them very well. He immediately noticed the changes in these black-armored warriors.

Surprisingly, they did not go crazy, but maintained their tactical formation and coordinated to kill Ogryn.

Horus looked forward again. The black-armored warriors, under the command of a cold-faced warrior he remembered as Adams, were still maintaining their battle formation.

Horus walked towards Nimrod and said in surprise and admiration.

"Congratulations, you've changed them."

Nimrod smiled. Despite his spiritual dryness, the Primarch did not feel weak like a mortal Beyonder.

“We still need to work harder, but this is a good start.”

"I believe you can change them."

Horus no longer had any doubts, and he looked at Nimrod's left arm.

"That was a good punch just now."

"The Emperor asked me to choose from his treasury."

Horus's eyes flashed with understanding, and he asked with a smile.

"When you were choosing, it wasn't easy to make the decision, was it?"

Nimrod raised his left arm to his chest and spoke.

“After watching it once, I chose it immediately.”

“I have a feeling this is the perfect fit for me.”

Nimrod was satisfied with his choice, and then the two separated and joined the battle.

Horus witnessed Nimrod's fighting ability with his own eyes, and saw that he could command his gene offspring to launch an orderly attack in battle, so he let his brother command his legion in battle with confidence.

Nimrod would become the fourth company of the Exemplary Company, placed under Adams' command, and only bring the Ice Blade Team with him for further inspection.

The Primarch began to lead other companies into battle. He was delighted to discover Sanchez's Seventh Company and gradually accepted his ideas.

But he was also disappointed and angry because the captain of the first company, Cesar, the captain of the third company, Samir, and the captain of the eighth company, Robin, were still obsessed with bloodthirsty killing. What comforted him a little was that Sanchez not only completed the change of ideas, but also discovered his preferences.

Thanks to the propaganda of the captain of the Seventh Company, the Eleventh Legion knew about the preferences of the Father of Genes.

Sesak and other descendants tried to gain the Primarch's understanding by presenting him with various rare items.

The ingredients for potions were growing steadily, and two of them caught Nimrod's attention.

Sesak, who had no interest in anything else in the past, hunted the local eagles with strange appearance. Its pupils flashed dazzling rainbow colors in the light and could distinguish multiple color spectrums.

The blasphemous slate calls this eagle the Rainbow Eagle, a Sequence 9 "Hunter" that is only missing the main ingredient for the potion.

Samir presented ginkgo leaves, which were extinct in Terra but grew well in the local grasslands.

Nimrod thus gathered the necessary auxiliary materials for the potion required for Sequence 9 "Farmer" and the subsequent Sequence 8 "Physician".

After the fifty-four largest tribes were wiped out, even the dull-witted Ogryns realized the terrifying power of these warriors who were as tall as themselves and dressed in "iron skins".

The remaining Ogryn tribes chose to surrender.

Horus believed that Nimrod had killed the most powerful local Ogryn and performed well in the first conquest battle after returning to the empire, so he gave him the right to name the world.

Nimrod thought of the corpse-gnawing insects and grasslands living in the area, so he named it the Corpse-Gnawing Plain.

In official records, the battle of Gnawing Corpses was also attributed to the 33rd Fleet.

Its official record is 33-4, meaning the fourth planet conquered by the 33rd Expedition Fleet.

After the war, Nimrod reviewed the performance of this conquest and decided to train five more extraordinary people among his descendants.

Oliver and four other heirs selected from the temporary Honor Guard, as well as Sanchez, the captain of the Seventh Company, will become the second batch of Extraordinary People.

Nimrod will send a communication message to Adams, Sanchez and others, summoning them to follow him back to the Void Hunter.

When the other captains received the news, they could not help but envy the favor that Adams and other Astartes had received from the Primarch.

The enraged Saisak entered the grassland alone, hunting the green-striped zebras and any other creatures he encountered.

Ningluo prepared four bottles of green "Corpse Collector" potion and one bottle of red potion. After returning to the conference hall of the strategy room, he called in Sanchez and five others.

The Primarch looked at the five Shadows of Order and spoke.

"You implemented my philosophy in the previous battles. Now I will grant you power."

"I hope that you will lead the other battle brothers to achieve complete transformation as soon as possible."

He spread out his palms and continued.

"I grant you different powers according to your talents."

"Sanchez, the red one is yours."

"The others are for the four of you."

The five Shadows of Order did not hesitate, they believed in their genetic father.

After they drank the potion, Nimrod used his telepathic abilities to teach the five Astartes simultaneously.

Sanchez was the first to master the method of meditation and self-control. Oliver was one standard ship minute slower than him, and the other three Order Shadows were four to fourteen seconds slower.

Ningluo called Adams in from outside the door, looked at the six shadows of order, and spoke.

"I have already given some people unique abilities. You six are the first group I trained in the legion."

"Besides being Astartes, you possess unique abilities and are the ones I trust most in the Legion."

"I have decided to form a secret organization, and you are the first members."
