His spirit was seamless, suffused with a rose-red hue, like fine wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He has already digested the potion.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, the Jokaero in the first layer of the Kingdom of Disorder immediately began concocting the Sequence 7 \"Vampire\" potion, using 500 ml of Fenrisian ice worm blood, 600 ml of raft spider blood, and other materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord.\" Gahlan knelt on both knees, bowing respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nuceria has an anesthetic potent enough to sedate Angron. I want you to find a way to obtain its formula.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth knew that Gahlan and the other senior War Hounds commanders were about to meet their father, a man who had lost his slave-brothers, who hated the Emperor, seeing him as just another slaver, and his sons as a slaver's army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gahlan would have neither the time nor the energy to consider Nuceria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Angron would task him with developing the World Eaters' version of the Butcher's Nails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike many Legions, the World Eaters did not recruit only from their homeworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would recruit continuously from a wide range of conquered death worlds and feudal worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without his prompting, Gahlan would not have looked into Nuceria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth had an urgent need for the anesthetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As potion materials increased in level, the creatures they came from grew more powerful and harder to obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Often, killing them would damage their integrity, rendering parts unusable as potion materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black giants offered by the Eleventh Chapter as the main \"Guardian\" ingredient were a case in point. Those missing limbs could not be used as the main ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunting guns developed from the Jorgall's arc projection guns could capture low-sequence potion materials, but most mid-sequence creatures could resist electric shocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had too few \"Judges,\" and \"Imprisonment\" required wearing down the target to prevent escape, a process that inevitably damaged some material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nucerian anesthetic, capable of incapacitating a Primarch, could likely capture almost all mid-sequence materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for creatures like the Slaugth, composed of necrotic fluids and maggots, completely immune to toxins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such creatures were extremely rare. Nareth estimated no more than ten types, most of them required for the Kingdom of Disorder's evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was reasonably confident the Nucerian anesthetic would work on most potion materials from paths other than the \"Black Emperor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, it would be effective on most Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Angron's body was at least on par with creatures of that level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also thought that since Nuceria had the Butcher's Nails, a Dark Age technology, it might have other technologies as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Send teams to the surface. Under the pretext of learning about Angron's homeworld, search for technology.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Emperor, had already made agreements with the slavers, such exploration would not displease him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after Angron killed the commander in a rage, it would appear all the more reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, observe the Legion members. See who might join you in swearing fealty to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, using the gene-seed I offered to You, which You then returned to me, I have personally supervised the cultivation of one thousand six hundred eighty-four neophytes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among them are three hundred fifty-two Apothecary aspirants, sixty-one full Apothecaries, and nineteen who have awakened psychic abilities to become Librarians.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gene-seed the Chief Apothecary of the War Hounds spoke of had been \"corroded\" in the sixth layer of the Kingdom of Disorder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chief Apothecary and a student of Fabius Bile, Gahlan's skills were among the best of his profession. The number of those he had \"corroded\" for Nareth was second only to Luther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even higher than the brotherhood jointly controlled by Khan Agula and Apothecary Naritsun of the White Scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth nodded with satisfaction. Gahlan had achieved much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wasn't referring to the neophytes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gahlan paused. He had been seconded to the \"Emperor's Children.\" He knew Astartes naturally obeyed their Primarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered their voyage to Novshenzdak, seeing the cold-eyed Perturabo walking beside the Emperor for the first time, and the unrest among the Iron Warriors when they learned who would command them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Twelfth Legion, without a Primarch, grew increasingly desperate with every battle and voyage, hoping the next planet they reached would be their gene-father's world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gahlan hesitated, Nareth spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Angron had the Butcher's Nails implanted by the slavers. They are a device for control and enslavement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He will have you and the Mechanicum research implanting the Nails in the Legion's warriors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the end, you will find a way to complete the task he gives you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth remembered that the renowned Martian Magos, Vercaryda, had exhausted himself trying to find a stable version. In the end, Gahlan had succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gahlan had succeeded on his own. Now, as a seasoned \"Apothecary,\" soon to be a \"Potion Professor,\" he could use alchemical agents to aid him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the \"corroded\" Butcher's Nails from the sixth layer of the Kingdom of Disorder, combined with the corrupted gene-seed, would allow him to divide the World Eaters among Khorne, Angron, and himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gahlan was stunned. The Emperor had not told the War Hounds about their gene-father's experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Emperor, not even in the Nuceria system, knew everything about the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Such is the power of a god.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gahlan trembled, Nareth spoke again, his voice grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Butcher's Nails I want are not what Angron wants.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But do not worry. Help will come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled that the Emperor would have Arkhan Land study whether the Nails could be removed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Arkhan could not remove them, he could study them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arkhan, already \"corroded\" by him and an \"Artisan,\" could work with Gahlan to develop a version with a hidden backdoor, meeting his requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Unfortunately, Arkhan is only Sequence 6. He cannot yet help me control Angron.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Angron can only be a candidate for my advancement to \"Earl of the Fallen,\" to be killed during his ascension. Fulgrim is another option.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hmm, Magnus, Mortarion, Lorgar...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gahlan trembled, feeling his own fate, and his gene-father's, already in the Black Emperor's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By Your will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth turned his hand. A crimson potion appeared in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, it flew to Gahlan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes lit up. \"Thank You, my Lord, for Your gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am my Lord's faithful servant. I am skilled and Chief Apothecary of the War Hounds. My Lord will not abandon me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Otherwise, He would not have granted me power three times.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he opened the potion, every cell in his body seemed to leap, as if reborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He eagerly drank. The liquid was rich and thick, like a mouthful of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart expanded and contracted. Fluid seemed to flow within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nails lengthened. Ethereal bat wings seemed to form behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt his stomach empty. As information flooded his mind, he knew: he craved food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not nutrient paste. Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around, but saw only endless black mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a hungry howl. His eyes turned crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meditate. Control your desires.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Emperor's commanding voice made him instinctively obey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the newly promoted \"Vampire\" knelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, I thank You for Your gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will carefully observe the War Hounds. I will find those who would leave the darkness for the light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can dilute the blood of Omegon you obtained at Bar'Savor and use it as food.\" Nareth said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Angron will often provide genetic material. You can use that as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Offer the genetic material you collect to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Angron was the Primarch who most often provided genetic material to his Apothecaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will also provide you with some food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By Your will.\" Gahlan bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black mist swallowed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the \"Vampire\" returned to his altar, the light made him uncomfortable, like needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly deactivated the psychic wall, then eagerly donned his blue-white power armor, fully covering himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he immediately took out a drop of Omegon's blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After diluting it a hundredfold, he drank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, feeling light, the Chief Apothecary hurried to the Triumph Hall, built to welcome his gene-father's return.\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>",1369,"2026-06-06T05:05:28.648Z",1,"novelbin.me","1649903300feb378854c6a6aec76845f42e3b41dee47b2606f0e3ea112244c70","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-660","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-658",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
