They were also the main ingredient for the \"Artisan\" potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ordering Arsena and the others to construct the ritual altar, he extended his consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primarch's consciousness swept over the ruined hive ruins, the warm underground caves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hrud, wrapped in their distorted fields, were exposed to his sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his consciousness delved deeper, his range narrowed, but he could still clearly discern the network of tunnels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw moldy rooms, shelves lined with sheets of solidified mycelium, and mycelium books scattered on the floor and in leaf-shaped containers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Mentor of Disorder\" then locked onto a Hrud. White specks appeared in his mind. Like grains of sand, they were sent into the target's brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As spiritual energy drained, the sand-grain-sized egg grew rapidly, forming an intangible gate like a string of beads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Mentor of Disorder's\" body became ethereal, instantly vanishing. His physical form became pure spirit, then re-materialized over a thousand kilometers underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a crack, several white bees appeared around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hrud's large, black, lightless eyes flickered with a faint light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, the white Psychneuein obeyed his command, buzzing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invisible spiritual mist spread, burrowing into the Hrud's minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following an invisible sense, he reached into the Hrud's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White, rice-grain-sized eggs formed in the Hrud's brains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his spiritual energy.

Racks and mycelium books flew towards him, vanishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked. His majestic black form was surrounded by a swarm of white bees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He faced the surging tide-like Hrud, their viscous warmth rolling towards him. His gaze pierced the layered distorted fields, seeing their twitching mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Mentor of Disorder\" advanced. His spiritual energy spread.

A single one is not much of a threat.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But Psychneuein specters are different. They are more terrifying in death than in life. Jaghatai was hard-pressed when surrounded.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Prospero, even in ruin, is a treasure trove. Without the underworld entrance in that river, it is more valuable than Sondheim VIII.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought, the Psychneuein flew towards him, then vanished, appearing in the second layer of the Kingdom of Disorder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden wings beat, carrying him to the altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the dim grey light, the seasoned \"Sheriff\" Yassin stood before a cave. He felt his newly established \"jurisdiction\" under assault by chaotic, distorted forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the grey sky. Faint light remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare for battle. The Hrud are attacking early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The caves rapidly grew hot. The Hrud, having lost their historical treasure trove, poured out, attacking in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light blazed in the \"Judge's\" eyes. He raised his hand and shouted in Dunnic: \"This place 'Forbids' the distortion of entropy fields!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden light blazed. Dense runes covered the cave entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vortex of light swept the dark cave, colliding with the mist-like entropy waves. The distorted effect was dispelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their biological fields shattered, the Hrud were revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped back steadily, raising his left arm. His archaeotech pistol fired at the cave ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue beam, drawn from the Serpent's Cradle's star, ignited the melta charges the seasoned \"Interrogator\" had placed. A chain reaction followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground shook. Blazing flames erupted. Tunnels, dozens of kilometers long and kilometers deep, became a sea of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the tunnels, the distorted entropy fields rippled. The flames rapidly dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hrud continued forward. But as they entered the first kilometer of the caves, their entropy fields failed. The distorted effects vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wave after wave of Hrud, rushing forward, were rapidly incinerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of Hrud surged, but their numbers were limited by the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The environment created by \"Prohibition\" held the advantage over the entropy fields. The Hrud screamed in frustration, burning in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rippling distorted fields were like droplets of water on a sea of fire, extinguishing a few sparks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three minutes of blazing fire, the Hrud realized their biological fields could not overcome the strange flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spread rapidly. Their limbs extended. Their fingers moved swiftly, digging tunnels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of charges planted by the \"Interrogators\" detonated, collapsing kilometers of tunnels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scattered Hrud were swallowed by the flames, screaming in despair.\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>",1005,"2026-06-06T05:05:28.648Z",1,"novelbin.me","8340b9f6b9c3e6c8b96cc0883f8af7d212b1ed5b430c24d5abc7f80f2129d007","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-669","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-667",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
