Though their sonic weapons could kill Astartes, they were no more dangerous than the Psychneuein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What concerned Nareth was that the Nephilim were closely linked to faith. They had enslaved billions of humans across hundreds of worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nephilim made humans see them as gods. Even knowing they were food, they told Jaghatai Khan without hesitation, \"For mortals, what could be more wonderful than nourishing a god?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Does a Sequence 4 potion ingredient already show obvious faith characteristics?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought, he knew he could not miss the war against the Nephilim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then thought of the Overlords of Barbarus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his trade with Mortarion, he already had many Overlord skulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Individually, the Overlords are indeed more dangerous than the Hrud.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Hrud's entropic fields could conceal them, thermal imaging could compensate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Hrud King had resisted the silence with its powerful entropy, it had no resistance when alone and was captured instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without his help or the Emperor's, as in his memory, Mortarion could not defeat Necare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What truly makes the Hrud terrifying is their numbers. In thousands, they reduce Astartes to dust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Billions together tear apart stars, age void ships.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, Mortarion keeps Necare's head as proof of fulfilling his destiny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth knew the significance of Necare's head to Mortarion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he took it, it would mean a fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not worth it for a boost. If he truly falls to Nurgle, the plagues will be troublesome, even with my Beyonderson the Sun, Mother, and Moon Pathways.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Mortarion ascends, given our previous relationship, I won't be his primary target.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to abandon the idea, inspiration struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, I could use 'Backroom Deal'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the space created by 'Backroom Deal' is limited. It can't be formed from a distance. I need an opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes deepened. The outline of a plan formed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then thought of the Hrud. He had first encountered references to the Hrud on the Squats' stone slab, then found more information in the Hrud's mycelium books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he didn't need this data; he already knew something of the Hrud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hrud were powerful psykers. They could remotely possess minds through the Warp, then drain the host's life force to augment their own combat power, until no hosts remained on a planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Individual Hrud were also powerful warriors. The weakest exceeded Astartes and could contend with Custodians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Hrud source could even rival a Primarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angron and Sanguinius had both fought Hrud. Finally, the Lion, with his will, resisted possession and tracked down their homeworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deployed Men of Iron, which could not be possessed, and nuclear strikes to destroy their base, but many survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The main ingredients for Sequence 5ArsenaSlaughth and EnslaversArsenahad no specific requirements.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ordinary Slaughth and Enslavers sufficed. But \"Earl of the Fallen\" requires a Hrud source.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Indeed, the requirements are higher.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Nareth looked at the Blasphemy Slate. There was no image of the ingredient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew there couldn't be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Prince, Be'lakor, had ruled many empires since the Dawn Age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His relics were scattered across millions of Terran years. They took many forms, statues carved from fossilized psyker bones, fragments of horn sealed in sacred coffins...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each fragment was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, it was the Mechanicum's Tech-Priest, Kober, working under Be'lakor's behind-the-scenes guidance and assistance, who pieced together Be'lakor's history, searching ancient ruins across the galaxy, finally recovering all the relics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I first found traces of Be'lakor on Vigil. He likely had domains there in the past.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Void Fist, that devastating weapon that could cause an apocalypse on Vigilus, was probably built to counter Be'lakor's threat.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But I found no fragments of Be'lakor's power. The most likely place now is Sak'trada Deeps.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had three reasons for this conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ruins in the Gurgan system might be civilizations Be'lakor destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mycelium books mentioned Be'lakor. And there was the Aeldari warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Sak'trada Deeps is already in my plans.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'After converting the Pellpetuals and obtaining Pellturabo's improved stasis device, I can go deeper into Sak'trada Deeps.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having formed a plan, he thought with puzzlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why must it be a fragment of Be'lakor's power?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Even if it must be a Daemon Prince, not just banished daemons like Samus, there are many.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why Be'lakor? Does the sefiroth's evolution require it? What is the requirement?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After long thought, he still had no conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the advancement ritual for \"Earl of the Fallen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advancement ritual: Kill a Daemon Prince during their ascension. Drink the potion amidst their death and complex emotions, seizing the power meant for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very 'Earl of the Fallen.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought about how to perform the ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'After ascension is too late. It must be during.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There will be many Astartes, even mortals, who ascend in the future.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But during the Great Crusade, there aren't many. Ingethel on Cadia is one.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the name came to mind, he rejected it. Her ascension was to complete the task of leading Lorgar on his pilgrimage to the Eye of Terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing her during her ascension would mean facing the Four directly, within the Eye of Terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Even more dangerous than killing most ascended Primarchs. The power she gained was less than theirs.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'More trouble than it's worth.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of the few other names, rejecting them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Unlikely during the Great Crusade.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'During the Heresy, I'd have to kill ascended Primarchs.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If my potion materials are in excess, especially Be'lakor's fragment and the Hrud source, I might have to.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The images of the Primarchs' ascensions flashed through his mind. His blurry ideas grew clearer. He had a target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he looked at the Blasphemy Slate again, reviewing which of the unlocked recipes he knew and possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After memorizing all the recipes and rituals, with a thought, he went to the eighth layer, newly unlocked after advancing to \"Mentor of Disorder.\"\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>",1062,"2026-06-06T05:05:28.115Z",1,"novelbin.me","aabdce252f004a37a3240461ce9eee0d1809e61ad54da0be3890488f07739654","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-616","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-560",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
