There should be a fragment of Be'lakor's relic there. And with more information, he could use the Dice of Prophecy. His disappointment faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Though Be'lakor is powerful, even possibly capable of ascending to godhood,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he hasn't ascended, and without his relic fragments, he has lost much power. Divining him will surely be less difficult than divining a uniqueness.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, he went to the seventh layer of the Kingdom of Disorder, looking at the oak tree with its dense white and red foliage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Threads of law enveloped the massive tree, keeping its living branches immobile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From William Wood's report, he knew this massive tree could grant the Harvest Giants abilities akin to psychic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Harvest Giants' coming-of-age ceremony was to go to the Grey Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best among them would receive its gift, becoming stronger than their kin, serving as Temple Guardians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fortunate few, chosen by the Tree God, would become Tree-Blessed, able to move freely through the earth and control oak leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would lead their settlements. Their word was the Tree God's will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the thousand Tree-Blessed, twelve Harvest Giant priests were permanently merged with the Tree God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reviewing the Harvest Giants' situation, he examined the massive tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Their entire civilization was built around this oak.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It must be a high-sequence entity, likely Sequence 4.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Tree, life, it's likely potion material related to the Mother Pathway.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled that among the half of Sequence 5 recipes unlocked on the Blasphemy Slate, the \"Druid\" recipe did not include an oak tree, but did include Tree-Blessed and Harvest Giant Guardians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the thread-wrapped Harvest Giant priests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Harvest Giant priests are also likely Mother Pathway potion material.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Given their spiritual luster and their progression from Tree-Blessed, they're probably Sequence 4 \"Ancient Alchemist\" material. Supplementary material.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Then the entire tree is unlikely to be the main ingredient for a Sequence 4. Part of it might be the main ingredient, or it might be Sequence 2 or higher.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, he focused. The threads of law loosened. The dome-sized red-white tree vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, it appeared in the second layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree shook, struggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As black mist rose, he stepped into the second layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Mentor of Disorder's\" spiritual energy surged. Brown earth rapidly formed, enveloping the python-like roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-white oak's trembling gradually ceased. Its branches swayed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing it no longer struggled, he left it rooted in the second layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to reality, he found himself surrounded by a mass of branches and red and white oak leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately summoned Chief Apothecary Mikel and the \"Biologist\" Marlena Skala.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they bowed, he focused. Two equal piles of branches and leaves appeared before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are good materials, rich in life force. Study and use them as you see fit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not the Tree of Life that Leman Russ would seek to heal the Emperor's soul, the red-white oak was still a treasure from root to crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rich in spiritual energy, it was excellent supernatural material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By Your will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they acknowledged, he dismissed Mikel and asked Marlena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Describe the Slaugth's physiology and behavior in detail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of surprise crossed her tea-brown eyes. She wondered why the Black Emperor was asking about a xenos race they had already defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the \"Biologist\" had studied many of the Legion's foes. She immediately spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything about the Slaugth, including their regeneration and their consumption of corpses, is based on the necrotic fluids within them...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her answer fluently, he nodded with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sequence 5 \"Druid\" advancement ritual on the Mother Pathway, as he knew, required mastery of the physiology and behavior of many common animals and three types of supernatural creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was confident Marlena had mastered the physiology and behavior of far over a hundred common animals, and likely dozens of supernatural creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then asked about the Hrud and the Nephilim. She answered fluently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, the Tree-Blessed, Harvest Giant Guardians, and other materials in the first layer's palace appeared beside the furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jokaero began concocting the Sequence 5 \"Druid\" potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then asked about the Gorgon Serpent and other supernatural creatures, quickly exceeding a dozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded. A brown potion appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are an experienced, knowledgeable biologist. Even the Mechanicum's biologists cannot match you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drink this. You will gain new power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank You, my Lord, for Your gift.\" She bowed, taking the potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tea-brown eyes saw countless blue-green specks within. She drank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The potion tasted like a mouthful of earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biomancer guided it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A complex mixture of plant scents rose from her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Biologist\" discerned the strongest scent as oak, mingled with animal fats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her perfect, lustrous, elastic skin rapidly cracked, like a Harvest Giant's tree-like body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dirt formed on her feet, covering her boots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body suddenly rose, letting out a bear-like roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it twisted, swaying like a serpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt as if she were transforming into hundreds of the creatures she knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her thoughts scattered, the Black Emperor's commanding voice sounded in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meditate. Rein in the overflowing power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the newly promoted \"Druid,\" her skin restored to its smooth elasticity, her body steady, looked at the branches and oak leaves and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, I thank You for Your gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have gained the power of the oak.
