His COG drone raised their Bedrock-pattern bolters, blasting the nauseating cauldron to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path widened. The Librarians spread out, using the \"Griffin's Roar\" to purify the cultists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas led his team directly towards the island's center, the most evil place he sensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the thick musky scent, he saw a hermaphroditic, depraved creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its armor was ornate and bizarre, far beyond the technological level of the followers and the ocean tribes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One side of its chest was a woman's breast; the other remained flat, a man's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its left hand held a bizarre weapon; its right arm was bent into a crescent hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tribal Slaaneshi champion shrieked, swift as the wind, in an instant crossing the six-tiered bone staircase of the moon-shaped temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Warlock\" raised his hand, scattering Catachan thorns, petals, and leaves. The thorns grew frenziedly, binding the petals and leaves together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thorns wrapped around the bent legs. Petals clung to the ornate leg armor. Leaves slipped into the gaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SSSS...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bizarre hiss came from the champion's stomach. It swelled like a balloon and burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a crack, the stomach, along with undigested flesh and intestines covered in flesh buds, fused with the ornate armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armor instantly sprouted bizarre crescent-shaped blades, tearing through the spell that bound it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas raised his staff. The patterns on his Dominum Armor and the runes on his COG drone blazed simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instantly ascended to the eighth level of the Enumeration, which he had recently mastered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew from Hathor Maat, Chief Librarian of the Thousand Sons, that most masters of the various cults never progressed beyond this level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most, in battle, simply maintained this level of Enumeration, channeling the surging Warp tide into raw power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dazzling golden light shone from Thomas's throat. The Slaaneshi champion's eyes stung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As its deep green eyes closed, it saw a claw reaching for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes flew open. Its right arm swung with blinding speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crescent blade shrieked, meeting the golden griffin's claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a crack, golden light shattered the blade. Its momentum undiminished, it swallowed the entangled champion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas glanced around. Seeing the Librarians gaining the advantage with the \"Griffin's Roar,\" he turned his attention to the profane temple before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Warlock's\" gaze passed over human skin and bone, seeking the building's truly artistic elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gleaming metal, crafted into various lunar shapes: full moons, crescents...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment Thomas examined the lunar metal structures, the Shadow's Sovereignty approached the orbit of Serpentis Alpha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth stood at the hololithic strategic table, watching the sixth planet. At that moment, it was precisely at the intersection between the two stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sensed energy churning in the Sea of Souls. He looked at the viewscreen, where remote detectors had captured images:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple lightning pierced the graceful clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drops of shimmering, iridescent rain fell, both real and illusory, slow and fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Empyrean, the twin-headed, twin-tailed, bloated serpent let out an excited hiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its hiss pierced the veil, turning the sky over the sixth planet into a transparent window to the Warp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple light rippled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aetheric readings on multiple screens aboard the Shadow's Sovereignty surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth planets simultaneously erupted with aetheric light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beams of light, accumulated for millennia, shot from different directions towards Serpentis Alpha and Serpentis Beta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aetheric fluctuations spread into reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sapphire-like twin stars now flickered with purple spots in their burning light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple light grew brighter, quickly turning the blue stars into blue cores wrapped in purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare for launch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth knew the entrance to the Warp would only form when a planet passed between the twin stars. He could avoid that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his goal were merely the materials to convert Perpetuals, that would be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wanted the Serpent's Cradle, the twelve precious Aeldari maiden worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to eliminate the Slaaneshi greater daemon dwelling here and sever its connection to the twin stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the battle reports from the three planets, he keenly noted that the cultists, the Slaaneshi steeds, all related to gluttony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his memory, he already guessed the greater daemon here was also born from extreme gluttony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slaanesh represented all extremes. The six concentric rings around the Palace of Pleasure each represented an extreme pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outermost ring was greed. The next was gluttony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth, with the black wolf Freddy and the gyrinxt John, boarded a Vostroya-pattern Lightning fighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nelson, the Primarch's personal pilot, started the engine. The black fighter shot from the deck like lightning, flying towards the purple light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Calamity Priest's\" expression was grim. The shimmering purple light, though beautiful, was like a terrifying maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer they got, the louder the piercing hiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nelson heard his Father's command in his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open the hatch. Return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, getting You to the surface is my duty.\" The \"Calamity Priest\" struggled to speak normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is far enough.\" The \"Mentor of Disorder's\" voice was grave. His \"Majesty\" made Nelson, maintaining the third level of the Thelema mindstate, instinctively obey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatch opened with a change in air pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light and shadow flickered in the Primarch's eyes. The Warp energy flooding into reality surged towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Telekinesis enveloped the wolf and cat. He took one step, crossing a hundred kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not stop. His afterimage trailed as Nelson blinked, as if he had walked a corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking through the 'Infinite Gate' forged from Warp energy flooding into reality, in a single breath, the Primarch crossed tens of thousands of kilometers of void, reaching the sixth planet's surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple light reflected off bodies adorned with expensive gems, jewelry, and silk. The daemons twisted their bodies proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They scraped their sharp claws and swift pincers, circling the Primarch greedily, but dared not approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden light gathered in the Primarch's throat, piercing the pale, soft skin of thousands of nearby daemons like needles through the fine leather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROAR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a deafening roar, a golden light, large enough to cover an entire hive, pierced the purple iridescence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands of daemons were torn apart, screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth's wings beat. He flew towards the rapidly forming creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as tall as sixty-six men, yet seemed a creature of the Great Ocean, compressed to fit here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In aetheric vision, its size had no limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shimmering halo surrounded it, emitting a dizzying, hallucinogenic perfume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primarch's gaze pierced its false appearance. He saw its muscular body adorned with jewels, each imprisoning the souls of millions of victims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On its twin heads, triangular, sickly yellow eyes stared directly at Nareth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nareth, you have taken my food.\" Both heads spoke simultaneously, their seductive whispers flowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I do not hate you for it. I have a proposal that benefits us both.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One of your brothers has been enjoying the ultimate delicacy. Through consumption, he has gained great power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth instantly guessed the greater daemon was referring to Hannibal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and your sons will gain the ultimate delicacy and great power.\" The whispers rustled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not only can you consume flesh, but you can taste the true ultimate delicacy: the souls of your enemies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Souls will nourish you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the greater daemon spoke, enticing illusions bloomed around it like fireworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadows of Order feasted on long, elegant Aeldari legs, faces showing pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth held a greenskin as tall as himself, opening his mouth wide, swallowing its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his body grew a finger's length, the rich, oyster-like flavor merged with his soul, a pleasure beyond the mortal realm, filling his spirit with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's mouth watered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freddy seemed to dream, back on Terra and Luna, consuming sweet dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth instantly ascended to the third level of the Thelema mindstate. John and Freddy, linked to his mind, snapped awake, their eyes clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger flashed in Freddy's eyes as Nareth spoke coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I refuse.\"\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>",1398,"2026-06-06T05:05:28.115Z",1,"novelbin.me","451b7b9aefe12e3fdbe35d09fc9a2b894cc5413e9f7343bd7cafbdfcb9fa60a5","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-577","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-576",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
