As they disembarked, twelve servo-skulls in the air chanting hymns of welcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome Gene-Primarch Nareth to the Forgehammer. May the Omnissiah bless you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malevolus led the way, the servo-skulls' chanting accompanying them as they proceeded inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Magos Lian Ramilies, Malevolus did not own an Ark Mechanicum. But as the most exceptional master armorer, having forged armor for several Primarchs, he possessed a cruiser-class warship of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the Primarch boarded the vessel, he sensed it immediately, the entire ship felt like a burning forge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could hear the roar of machines, feel the heat waves of the smelting furnaces…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malevolus led the way. Nareth proceeded forward, arriving at the Tech-Priest's private laboratory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, he saw an enormous blazing forge occupying nearly one-tenth of the entire chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serpentine cables bound the steel devices together, and the central cluster of worktables was piled high with various precision instruments…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malevolus walked to the center of the experiment area. \"Lord Nareth, let us begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\" Nareth walked to the table, looking at the Bastium Alloy armor brought from the Long-Beard Class Mega Cruiser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malevolus connected his mechanicadendrites to the coupling devices on the table. Robotic arms suspended above descended. Mechanical fingers opened, the mechanical probes at their tips rapidly sliding over the armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth's eyes flashed. Light and shadow flickered in his gaze. He placed his hand on the armor, telekinetic force injected into it like threads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The telekinetic force penetrated the armor's interior, analyzing and deconstructing the Bastium alloy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Density moderate, high ductility, high toughness... this part is iron.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"High electrical and thermal conductivity... silver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Extremely high density, extreme toughness... unknown metal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three standard ship hours later, Nareth raised his hand. The mechandendrites also stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said to the Tech-Priest:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five hundred and fourteen metals, two hundred and thirty-eight of which are unknown, likely mineral deposits unique to the galactic core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of astonishment passed through Malevolus's eyes. He thought of the Primarch's miraculous abilities, then calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The alloy's omposition ratio is even more peculiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While fierce fighting continued in the Rosario underground city, Nareth and Malevolus began their research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three weeks after securing the Long-Beard Class Mega Cruiser, Techmarines and the Honour Guard had opened every compartment but found no Fane on the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth was slightly disappointed but not anxious. Acquiring a Votann might be difficult, but each Kindred had at least one Fane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor and the Terran Council had issued orders to conquer thirty-five star systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could acquire at least one Ancestral Fane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth and Malevolus achieved significan gains in their research on the Bastium alloy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just in understanding the Squat alloy, but also with Malevolus himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, our research has achieved preliminary results. Fabricating this alloy could enhance armor's protective capabilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only deficiency is the materials for the alloy. Some unknown metals can be substituted, but one hundred and fifty-nine have no ideal substitutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth saw Malevolus looking at him respectfully. The Tech-Priest had been \"corroded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Magos Lian Ramirez and Tech-Priest Malevolus are both loyal to me now. Among the Mechanicum's three great talents, only Arkhan Land remains.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Shadows of Order have captured twenty-seven warships in void combat, including another Long-Beard Class Mega Cruiser. Various quantities of ores were found on them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides large quantities of ore, he had other gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his research, Nareth examined other items. He discovered a data storage medium used by the Squats, the Data-Warden Slate, was the main ingredient for the potion of Sequence 7 \"Detective\" of the White Tower pathway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the Shadow's Sovereignty, he went to the Kingdom of Disorder and had the Jokaeros prepare the \"Detective\" potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the real space, Nareth summoned Arsena and handed him a blue-white potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking the \"Detective\" potion, Arsena meditated, reining in the scattered power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your gift, My Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After piously thanking the Black Emperor, Arsena reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, the Astropath informs me Magnus is expected to arrive in two standard ship days, and Perturabo in five days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\" Nareth nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five days later, Magnus and Perturabo, each accompanied by their Legion's high-ranking commanders, landed in the Shadow's Sovereignty's docking zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arsena representing Nareth, waited in the docking zone. Remembering the Black Emperor's instructions, he addressed Perturabo first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Perturabo, Lord Magnus, welcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perturabo merely gave a slight nod, his expression expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnus approached Arsena with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arsena Dunn, my sons have heard you are an excellent scholar with a vast collection of books. They are very interested.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, the Thousand Sons are welcome to visit my personal library.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go,\" Perturabo spoke up. \"Our Father and the War Council have placed command with Nareth. He must already have a plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnus detected a hint of dissatisfaction and a trace of reluctance in Perturabo's calm tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Perturabo wanted to command this campaign?''\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But 11th Legion's forces alone outnumber the combined Astartes of my mine and his.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Nareth has also achieved victories in numerous campaigns like the Wheel of Fire, Advex-Mors and against the Mitu xenos, reclaiming Incaladion, so many victories. Of course father would inevitably assign the command to Nareth.''\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Thousand Sons contingent, Hathor Maat followed his Gene-Father, heading into the Shadow's Sovereignty. He thought excitedly, 'Finally, I will see My Lord.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering Nareth's palace, Perturabo immediately frowned. The palace's architectural style caused him some discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great slabs of obsidian, tilted at mechanically impossible angles, held up the dome like the remnants of a ruined structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twelve metal rods descended from the dome's interior, each bearing a Chapter's banner. They were arranged three left, four right, five center, deliberately asymmetrical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why not four each on left, center, and right?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perturabo's right hand clenched. For a moment, he wanted to stride over, tear down the central banners, and hang them on the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced himself to look away, directing his gaze to the floor, his frown deepening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The onyx tiles radiated outward following a Fibonacci spacing pattern… but asymmetrically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perturabo could no longer control himself. He strode up to Nareth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nareth, if your sons lack the ability to construct a palace worthy of you, my Iron Warriors can assist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can design a plan for you. Let's dismantle it and rebuild.\"\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>",1073,"2026-06-06T05:05:10.770Z",1,"novelbin.me","31954a0dcc1bbe0bd4a4aa1a0fbdea22c182659b2d00f5957aeefc1e59adfce2","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-388","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-386",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
