Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 95: Metals Mysteriously Connected to Nimrod

When Sesak was battling Ogryn, Nimrod's consciousness spread to a black stone gate.

Ogrin's mind is simple yet solid. Using force to break through, although you can get into his mind, it will also turn him into a fool, causing his mind to break and leading to information loss.

After several years of training, the Primarch had already reached the pinnacle of psychic skills.

In an instant, his consciousness turned into a huge shadow net, covering the entire gate.

The shadow seeped into the gate little by little, just like the shadow formed by light shining on the gate.

Immediately, Nimrod received the information he needed, regarding the local Ogryn traditions and regional information about the Great Black Mountain.

There is a majestic mountain on this planet, and the rocks on the mountain are all made of metal that shines with a black light.

Ordinary Ogryns who enter will never come out. Those who can return safely and forge black clubs and armor will become leaders of the tribe.

Nimrod also noticed that this patriarch was much smarter than ordinary Ogryns, and he could actually remember some things clearly in his mind.

He thought to himself as he exited Ogryn.

[It seems that the unscannable area is very special.]
Nimrod also realized that by utilizing the traditions of the local Ogryn tribe, he had an opportunity to quickly conquer the world.

As he exited Ogryn's mind, Sesak also cut off the head of the tribal leader with a fierce blow.

As the warriors were clearing out the enemy, Nimrod walked up to the leader, picked up his club, and observed.

As soon as he got it, his black eyes lit up.

Ogrin did not master any forging techniques. He spent a long time and used great strength to make this big stick by holding a stone and grinding it bit by bit on another harder stone.

The untouched parts still retain their original texture characteristics.

The black stone with a matte oxide layer on the surface is neither a psychic material nor an anti-psychic material.

But Nimrod keenly discovered that in addition to magnetism, it also has special properties.

Its surface is covered with irregularly arranged white growth lines of Gothic {XI} and {XXXIII}.

In some places it's more frequent, in others it's less frequent.

The Primarch took another glance and keenly sensed that the armor on Chief Ogryn also had the same irregular growth patterns.

Silver-haired Arsene also came over. He picked up a piece of armor fragment cut off by Sesak and injected telekinesis into it.

A moment later, he completed the analysis using psychic power and reported to Nimrod based on the knowledge he gained from the book on relic-class battleships.

"This magnetic metal is not composed of a single structure. Its main components are three ferrous metals: iron, manganese, and chromium."

"None of them are black. Pure iron and chromium are silvery white, and manganese is grayish white."

"Naturally magnetic metals can be massive, granular or have a crystalline structure; they are all crystalline."

Arsena glanced at the black armor fragment in his hand and said with interest.

"During their crystallization, iron, manganese, and chromium ions are periodically enriched to form a banded structure, features that are usually only seen in artificially produced barium ferrites."

"In the books I read, it was mentioned that the minerals on some planets would form the same growth patterns in certain areas due to the Earth's gravity, the gravity of the stars, and some unknown reasons."

Ninglu nodded slightly. This was the reason why the growth lines of the metal crystal showed special numbers.

"Its unit cell is denser than normal ones, and should be the structural basis of ultra-high magnetism."

Nimrod stared at the ore in his hand and couldn't help but think, "This metal is simply a symbol of me!"

The growth lines of disorder, 11, 33. Disorder can be associated with the "Land of Disorder." The true face of the source substance has thirty-three layers of space, and I am the eleventh original body.

Iron, manganese, and chromium, which can appear white to varying degrees, often appear black and are called ferrous metals. This can be associated with the shadow of the "Black Emperor" order.]
Nimrod's eyes were deep, and he thought of the relationship between mysticism and gods.

[Although the Four Peddlers are gods of the Warp, they also have symbolic existences in the real world.

They have their own symbols in the fields of color and numbers. The red Khorne is 8, the blue Tzeentch is 9, the green Nurgle is 7, and the purple Slaanesh is 6.

Their followers embody these elements in their sacrificial rituals, their use of weapons, and even in their armor and weapons.]
Connect with the gods by embodying symbols.

Nimrod also thought of the secret, the same thing.

[The Night Goddess is associated with the moon and silver, and believers use silver materials when performing ritual magic. The Eternal Sun is associated with the sun and gold...]
His black eyes shone and his brain spun rapidly.

[If I establish a mystical connection with this metal by designing ritual language.

When Beyonders use them as ritual magic materials, they can be pointed at me with the appropriate rituals.

If I leverage the power of the source substance "Land of Disorder," I will be able to satisfy the believers' prayers to a certain extent.]
Paths such as "The Fool" and "The Hermit" both possess the ability to use ritual magic, but when using it, they must pray to the gods they believe in for it to be realized.

Chaos believers also need to attract the attention of the gods when praying to the Four Vendors, most of the time it is for souls and lives.

Lorgar sacrificed the lives of hundreds of planets and the Primarch Angron to gain strength and complete the spell to isolate the eastern galaxy.

Nimrod further pondered the feasibility of this, and from ritual magic, he thought of more uses for the "Kingdom of Disorder".

[Although I am only Sequence 7, the permissions I unlocked in the "Land of Disorder" are not high enough.

But I am still a Primarch. After awakening my genetic memory, my status should be comparable to that of a High-Sequence Beyonder, and I should be able to leverage the power of the "Kingdom of Disorder" to a certain extent.

Once I've designed the entire ritual magic process, I can simplify it and selectively tell a few people about it. When they face corruption from the Four Vendors, I'll be able to stop them in time.]
When Nimrod thought of this, the status of ferrous metals in his mind was elevated from ordinary minerals to strategic resources.

Although there are many details that need to be explored and experimented, such as the format of chanting the mantra, describing his own name, and the ritual process, at least he has an idea and direction to work towards.

Nimrod decided to change his plan and immediately set out to conquer the Great Black Mountain.

The first thing he had to face was the problem of signal blocking. After thinking for a second, he thought that the spy flies made by the space monkeys might be able to play a role.

Ningluo turned on the communicator and issued orders in the legion channel.

"Company commanders, report the psykers in your company."

"First company, five."

Sesak, who ordered his men to clean up the battlefield, returned immediately.

"Second company, four people."

"..."

Only the captain of the seventh company did not respond as he was in the signal isolation area of ​​Daheishan Mountain.

When Nimrod returned to the Void Hunter to retrieve the spy fly, Sanchez in the Great Black Mountain also encountered the first Ogryn team after entering the mountain.

As soon as they encountered each other, an Ogrin holding a black crystal club let out a strange cry.

As he shouted, a black lightning streaked across the sky and struck the Order Shadows of the Seventh Company.
