His armor was dented and pitted, smeared with scraps of flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large sections of chest armor had corroded away and fallen off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, his golden wings spread across his entire body, sweeping away every bit of flesh stuck to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black armor was instantly covered by living metal. Nareth extended his consciousness outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a moment, he locked onto three heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Its mythical form has ended!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The form was incomplete, so it's not Sequence 2.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It should be above Sequence 4, so it should be a Beyonder creature at Sequence 3.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Strange. Why didn't it use any herding abilities?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth's consciousness closely followed the tumbling heads. Because the mythical creature's form ended, the two extended heads had retracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heads tumbled within the Void Whale, its three gaping maws chomping down, flesh rushing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The neck, severely damaged by the self-detonation, rapidly grew flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth beat his wings, thinking to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There are three possibilities.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'One possibility: within the Void Whale, there are no souls it covets. Although I encountered no other powerful monsters along the way, the Void Whale's 3,200-kilometer body might harbor countless creatures. Besides, having some is still better than having none.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Nareth felt this possibility was unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Second, maybe it hasn't developed its abilities beyond manipulating flesh, like Freddy, who only grasped Dream Invasion.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The third possibility is that mythical creatures only master parts of their power, unlike beyonder individuals who wield the full set of sequence abilities'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While pondering, he had already closed in on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the creature's heads spotted the golden figure approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The massive explosion I triggered earlier… didn't work at all?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shocked, it immediately prepared to explode again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, not to harm the enemy, but to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its \"undying flesh,\" so long as a single cell remained, it could regenerate. It intended to blow itself apart while scattering countless cells to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just before it could act, Nareth raised his gauntleted hand and pushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick, transparent liquid shot out, engulfing all three heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three heads flared with bloody radiance, yet before they could detonate, they froze solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Imprisonment, Nareth sealed all three inside an amberlike crystal, then moved the entire \"amber block\" into the Kingdom of Disorder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth did not immediately return to real space. He went to the third layer and picked up the bone mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mask was obtained from the Temple of Morkai on Fenris for some time, but he hadn't used it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After establishing a connection with the bone mask through the third layer, Nareth knew the mask corresponded to Sequence 3 \"Ferryman\" of the Death Pathway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would gain control over an army of the dead, but everything around him would slowly wither, as if he were trudging through the river of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price was steep, it was not worth using.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But now… this is the perfect opportunity.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There are many creatures inside the Void Whale, and a significant portion are powerful but not potion ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Most importantly, there are no other living beings nearby, and beyonder traits do not vanish. Potion materials won't lose their effectiveness even after death.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment's thought, Nareth picked up the bone mask and placed it on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mask covered the upper half of his face. Instantly, cold seeped from his forehead and temples, spreading through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely, the Ferryman mask didn't affect the surrounding space at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth returned to the realspace, a chill wind rose out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primarch immediately sensed the rapid drop in temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Void Whale's flesh turned gray-white, beginning to wither.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden wings beating, Nareth shot forward at incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, he had crossed five kilometers. Ahead appeared a cluster of blue toad-like monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his vision, none of them had a trace of spiritual glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baron of Corruption's spiritual energy surged into the bone mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssshhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold green mist spread rapidly, engulfing the entire blue toad colony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the mist, a pair of pitch-black, lifeless eyes appeared, chilling the creatures to their core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive invisible hand manifested beneath them, slamming into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a shrill chorus of screams, the green mist surged upward and transformed into a strange gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spectral gate opened. Countless green vines shot out, racing forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They coiled around the blue toads and dragged them toward the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The toads clawed frantically at the flesh-ground with their forelimbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But more vines wrapped around them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With terrified cries, they were dragged inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghost gate slammed shut, and every toad was pulled inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth flew forward another four kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped in midair. Below was a swarm of crab-like creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They, too, lacked any spirituality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth sent his spiritual energy into the mask again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green mist rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghost gate reappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vines rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crab monsters shrieked, their claws stabbing deep into the rock-hard flesh of the void whale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens were dragged into the gate, but many more clung stubbornly to the flesh-rock, refusing to be pulled away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from the ghost gate, blue toads, now with gray-white skin, hopped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They leapt toward the crab claws and spat streams of corrosive green slime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sizzle\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their claws melted away. The crabs could no longer resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whooooosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were dragged into the spectral doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth continued on, gathering potion materials while using the Ferryman mask to accumulate undead creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Void Whale, already missing massive amounts of flesh and now ravaged by the Ferryman's withering power, rapidly approached death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He charged toward the whale's tail and carved a tunnel with the Dionysian Spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bursting out of the whale's body, he turned and looked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primarch saw that the Void Whale was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flew to its tail and ascended into the seventh state of the Enumeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psychic force surged outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh state, designed by Magnus, allowed the direct use of psychic power to lift massive objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light danced in Nareth's eyes as his telekinesis multiplied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Void Whale's colossal body began to move, pushed by the warp tides and Nareth's power, it slid out of the Kalium Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 5th Chapter's fleet, following Arsena's order, had dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They watched in shock as the enormous carcass emerged from the warp portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire process took two full days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, every ship's scanners confirmed it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whale-shaped creature measured exactly 3,205 kilometers long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the void whale no longer blocking the gate, Kalium Gate could finally begin operating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you enjoy the story, my p@treon is 30 chapters ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002FDaoistJinzu\u003C\u002Fp>",1146,"2026-06-06T05:05:10.770Z",1,"novelbin.me","09b9de5fdcd9c15ef100d38782ae8541a1599d03a0d3020c6015263fae30d418","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-381","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-379",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
