The two Astartes, renowned for their bio-sorcery, read the same thought in each other's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Who is the premier bio-master among the Astartes?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hathor saw an Osseivore, over thirty meters tall, approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ramsey watched the Honor Guard of the 3rd Fellowship's Thousand Sons stride forward. Rain-like beams lanced towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red power armor was torn instantly. Flesh and blood splattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hathor ascended to the Eight level of the Enumeration and raised his ornate staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ruby at its head blazed with dazzling light, illuminating the staff's beautiful shaft, inlaid with gold and silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peyok.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thousand Sons with ætheric vision saw the golden starlight flare, covering nearly a hundred of their number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torn flesh visibly regrew at tremendous speed. The bodies repaired by the Pavoni Cult techniques were smooth and lustrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pavonis, focus your power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beautiful guardian spirits soared above the Sect members' heads. Following their First Seated, they raised their staves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red, blue, green, grey...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psychic lightning of various colors converged, finally forming a ferocious ball of electricity that hurtled towards the Osseivore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the crackle of the energy shield tearing, the exposed, unprotected Osseivore was before the bio-master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hathor narrowed his eyes. The Osseivore's raised elbow solidified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bio-lightning spread rapidly. In moments, its arm was frozen stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Osseivore's crest rustled. Its body shook violently, like a tree in a hurricane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storm gradually subsided. The green body rapidly dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like decaying wood disintegrating, the Osseivore's body crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ground rumbled, Hathor thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A Osseivore facing a Warlord-class Titan one-on-one would usually win.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I could probably only destroy a Warhound-class Titan, but against a creature like a Osseivore, it's easier.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hathor's gaze fell on Ramsey. \"Your turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ramsey nodded slightly. His Honor Guard passed the Thousand Sons, advancing to meet the surging xenos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the roar of bolts, Ramsey raised his hand and crushed the head of a lion-headed, deer-bodied xenos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psychic energy extended. The corpse on the ground stirred and rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Flesh Puppet\" lunged at another lion-headed, deer-bodied xenos. As their four arms clashed, the xenos was startled to find the corpse of its kin possessed greater strength than in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a crack of bone, the \"Flesh Puppet\" pinned the xenos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five \"Flesh Puppets\" surrounded Ramsey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Honor Guard saw this somewhat unsettling scene without any rejection. They all knew it was an ability their Father had granted their Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thousand Sons looked in astonishment at the Pavoni Cult's First Seated. They had never seen such bio-abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of surprise crossed Hathor's eyes. 'An ability granted to Ramsey by my Lord?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the surrounding gazes, the \"Hypnotist\" reacted quickly. Psychic energy extended, \"Psychological Cue\" to his Guard members:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadows of Order's mastery of the biological arts differs greatly from the mysteries we possess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Guard members' gaze returned to Ramsey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ramsey's un-gauntleted hands moved rapidly over the five \"Flesh Puppets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flesh, like building blocks, was disassembled and reorganized into four complete bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining flesh coiled around his arms and helmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A \"Rose Bishop\" must have sufficient flesh; otherwise, they cannot fully unleash the power of flesh-crafting and are easily wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of surprise crossed Hathor's eyes. He could manipulate the tissues within himself and others, but not disassemble and reorganize at will like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for dozens of seconds, he thought of a possible method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pre-arrange Pavoni Cult rune arrays with psychic crystals, then use bio-energy to reorganize the flesh body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, relying on preparation was inferior to Ramsey's effortless execution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Hathor pondered, he saw Ramsey approach the Osseivore. He instructed his Guard members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprise flickered in Hathor's eyes. Ramsey was going to face the Osseivore alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just slain an Osseivore, but while he led the process, he had still relied on the power of his Sect's Thousand Sons to breach the energy shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of course, the aid of guardian spirits like Peyok.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hathor stared at the flesh-wrapped Ramsey. The black armor instantly became a red blur, hurtling towards a rhinoceros-like creature with a cyan hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The xenos roared and charged. The \"Rose Bishop's\" body suddenly melted like wax, becoming pure, viscous flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body twisted spirally, merging into the xenos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flesh wrapping his armor provided energy for the \"Rose Bishop.\" Squeezed within the xenos' body, he didn't consume much psychic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The xenos charged over a dozen meters, its six thick legs leaving deep marks on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned its head in shock. Its murky eyes saw nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Illusion?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the xenos' eyes filled with terror. It felt something burrowing through every piece of its flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After its body trembled for seconds, the \"Rose Bishop,\" now fused within, compelled it to walk towards the Osseivore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Flesh Puppets\" followed around it, like its guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither the xenos nor the Osseivores noticed them. Ramsey smoothly reached the Osseivore's feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the \"Rose Bishop\" emerged from the rhinoceros's body, the xenos instantly died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clumps of flesh, like a storm, swept the area. Over a dozen xenos were torn to shreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the explosion of the \"Flesh Bombs,\" the Osseivore's energy shield crackled and corroded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gashes appeared in the shield protecting its feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four \"Flesh Puppets,\" like sharks scenting blood, surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Osseivore bent down to look. Due to its massive body, its sensory organs didn't see much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the flashes of red in its ætheric vision signaled a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It lifted one of its three legs. Root-like appendages, like those of an ancient tree, swung at the \"Flesh Puppets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Rose Bishop\" raised his hand. Psychic energy extended. Two \"Flesh Puppets\" instantly became \"Flesh Bombs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clumps of bloody flesh stormed upwards, striking the Osseivore's foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy impact made the Osseivore sway slightly. The remaining two \"Flesh Puppets\" lost parts of their bodies in the explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn't stop. Each charged towards one of the other two legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood churned. The two \"Flesh Puppets\" each burrowed into a leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood-red moved within the green. The Osseivore felt as if two drills were piercing its legs, burrowing frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Osseivore's crest rustled. It didn't know how to handle this crisis. It could only aim its arms at the flesh-wrapped figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Rose Bishop\" snapped his fingers. The flesh bombs buried within the Osseivore's legs detonated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Osseivore's body lurched forward. The beams it fired tore through the xenos behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stabilized itself and angrily attacked the swiftly moving figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flesh wrapping the \"Rose Bishop\" instantly lifted, forming a cloak above its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst a series of cracks, the \"Flesh Cloak\" was shredded. No red figure remained on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Osseivore's head rustled. It wasn't sure if the bloody \"little man\" was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, clumps of flying flesh bombs told the Osseivore the strange \"little man\" was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Rose Bishop\" moved swiftly among the xenos. Flesh was his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions detonated continuously on the Osseivore. Its energy shield shattered. It was helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the rustling, the Osseivore aimed its arms at the strange \"little man's\" direction and fired beams indiscriminately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly a hundred xenos were torn apart by the beams, their bodies vaporized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Rose Bishop's\" body melted like wax, becoming pure, viscous flesh, merging with the remnants of the \"Flesh Bombs\" and moving rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one noticed the flesh's movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hathor shook his head slightly. Though powerful, Ramsey's ability was still too forced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Osseivore had found a way: just cut off his supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ramsey has paid for his rashness with his life.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his staff, about to avenge Ramsey, when he suddenly saw a figure charge from the side towards the Osseivore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bloody figure sprang from the ground and raced up the Osseivore's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Osseivore twisted, but the flesh-driven \"Rose Bishop\" was faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Rose Bishop\" raced to the Osseivore's crown. The moment he emerged from the xenos' body, using the flesh as a medium, he unleashed \"Flesh Curse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Osseivore's crown instantly turned blood-red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its mountain-like body crashed heavily to the ground, crushing dozens of fleeing xenos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hathor stared in shock at the falling Ramsey. He had truly slain an Osseivore alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proud, he thought dejectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ramsey is the premier bio-master among the Astartes.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-armored figure slammed into the ground. Flesh and shattered rocks scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood-red image lingered long in the Thousand Sons' minds. Hathor's face, however, once again bloomed with a perfect smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Though I am inferior to Ramsey in the biological arts, I still possess the abilities granted by my Lord.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am also a master in the mental domain.'\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>",1638,"2026-06-06T05:05:27.789Z",1,"novelbin.me","d4b129ea58bbd515c7e6651b513b3b8a06fef24c33758a5ddf752b7b928ddbd0","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-611","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-610",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
