Chapter 18: Trial Successful, Eliminating Hidden Risks

Ninglu searched through the luxurious palace, his gaze sweeping over the vibrant murals.

The crystal chandelier overhead illuminated the palace as if it were broad daylight.

Ninglu strode across the soft carpet covering the marble floor, and by sensing the airflow and the reaction from tapping the walls, he finally found a hidden door behind an oil painting in the study.

【Clearly, this greedy king did not trust anyone else.】

He pressed his ring into the corresponding circular wall socket.

Ninglu sensed a series of complex transmission mechanisms moving within the wall, and the wall before him slowly opened to reveal a secret door.

He stepped inside and descended along a spiral passage.

After a hundred steps, he arrived at a platform, at the end of which stood a sentry, the same as the one he had seen at the Finde Family.

Ninglu stepped back with his right leg, gathering momentum to charge forward.

Red light flickered in the sentry's eyes, a sharp alarm sounded, and three copper tubes extended from the thick metal railings on both sides.

They simultaneously spewed torrents of flame and rotated rapidly, with a radiation angle of 120 degrees.

In an instant, Ninglu calculated the evasion route.

He leaped out in one step, and when he landed, he was exactly at the intersection point of the first and second rows.

Only for this less than one second was this spot not yet covered by the molten flow.

His second step landed at the exact moment in the blind spot of the second and third groups.

As his third step landed, he had already rushed in front of the sentry and slammed directly into it.

Having served the Boleslaw King family for thousands of years, the sentry, whose alloy circuits had begun to age under the erosion of time, could finally rest.

Immediately, Ninglu smashed through the alloy door and rushed into the treasury.

As soon as he entered the treasury, he was attracted by a furnace in the center.

Ninglu walked up to the furnace and discovered red text on the gilded furnace body.

One side was the language of technology composed of 0s and 1s, while the other side was the local Wosuotuniya Low Gothic text.

What Ninglu noticed first was the specifications of the furnace—nineteen meters high, with a cross-sectional diameter of eleven meters.

Without needing to climb the operation ladder, he reached out and opened the furnace door on the side where the language of technology and Wosuotuniya Low Gothic intersected, and reached in to touch it.

The fuel fireplace where Promethium was placed was ice-cold, and there was not a single stain on the infusion pipes.

He went to the other side and opened the furnace door; there was not a trace of dirt inside the furnace either.

Ninglu continued to examine the text on the furnace body, "Praise the Omnissiah, the material used for this furnace is the first batch of steel obtained after Wostonia was enlightened by the Omnissiah."

"Specially gifted to the kings of the various Hive Cities of Wostonia, to reward the servants of the Omnissiah."

"……"

The bottom corner was stamped with a steel seal, and the signature next to it was a familiar name: Mars Sage, Kivior.

【So this furnace was built so large just to manifest the friendship between the machine-oil lovers and the various Hive City royal families, but it is just right for my use.

My body can enter the real side of the "Kingdom of Disorder", so I should be able to prepare Potions within the space of Source Essence; now I can test whether my previous idea is feasible.】

Thinking of this, Ninglu stretched out both hands and grabbed the gilded furnace.

With a thought, the next moment, his body and the furnace disappeared together.

Ninglu appeared in a square in what was called Diyiceng Kongjian; he let go of his hands, and the furnace stood steadily on the obsidian-like ground.

He returned to the treasury again, found fourteen types, totaling twenty-one Potion Materials, and brought them back to the "Kingdom of Disorder".

After organizing the materials, Ninglu discovered that he had gathered the "Warrior" Potion, and the "Arbiter" Potion was only missing a Gavel.

【Hmm, Estupinian is an Arbitrator, his will do.】

He immediately returned to the real world and used the communicator to call Luoersiliefu.

"My lord, there were two waves of enemies probing an attack earlier, but they were beaten back by the Finde Family guards."

"The Hive Tower has been cleared, and now there are only your followers."

"Send someone up with a canister of Promethium and a rubber spoon."

……

In the "Kingdom of Disorder", Ninglu threw the Vulture's Chainsword into the furnace.

After a crackling explosion, he saw a red gelatinous solid left in the furnace.

After scooping it into a bottle, Ninglu saw there was no residue in the furnace and the gelatinous substance was a perfect whole, so he knew the "Warrior" Potion had been successfully prepared.

He was secretly delighted, 【Since I can prepare Potions in the "Kingdom of Disorder", then I have mastered the Extraordinary system and can choose people I trust to cultivate Extraordinaries.】

The core of Tier Potions is the Extraordinary ability granted by the Potion!

Only by knowing the Potion Formula and gathering the materials can one prepare a Potion containing magical power, and only after drinking the Potion can one obtain Extraordinary abilities.

The knowledge attached when drinking the Potion, even if acquired by Tzeentch, cannot allow Him to replicate Extraordinaries.

The "Sleepless" given to Bukayo before was just like this.

Without drinking the "Sleepless" Potion and obtaining the Extraordinary ability "High Energy", even if one knew that there was no need to sleep at night and only three or four hours of sleep were needed during the day, one would be unable to do it.

Tzeentch can modify a believer's body to make them not need to sleep, but that is not an Extraordinary ability.

The legal knowledge he obtained, even if Tzeentch acquired it and bestowed it upon a believer, without Spiritual Enhancement and obtaining the Extraordinary ability—"Extraordinary Eloquence"—one would be unable to defeat a gold-medal Lawyer in the way he did.

Tzeentch could also bestow upon a believer abilities like mind control or deception to achieve the same result, but that is likewise not an Extraordinary ability.

No matter what knowledge Tzeentch obtains from the Potion, what He bestows upon the believer is still the ability He was originally capable of bestowing.

Extraordinary ability is the core, and the Potion Formula is the only key to opening this door.

But Ninglu still had to face one problem, which was that the Chaos Four Gods could peer into reality and see his process of preparing Potions.

Although the Four Gods could also bestow blessings, they might also become interested in the Potion system.

As long as it is possible, there exists a hidden risk.

Now, being able to prepare Potions in the "Kingdom of Disorder" eliminates the only hidden risk.

No existence can peer into the world of the Kingdom of Disorder.

As for the three types of Potion he had formulated previously: Lawyer, Barbarian, and Sleepless.

Ninglu did not care about the first two at all, and even looked forward to the Chaos Four Gods copying them.

High-Tier Beyonders can exert immense influence over Beyonders of the same pathway.

Once ascended to Sequence 0 Black Emperor, He who possesses the Source Essence can even modify Potion Formulas, add or remove Beyonder abilities of various Tiers, and manipulate Beyonders of this pathway.

If the Chaos Four Gods were to cultivate subordinates for him, Ninglu would naturally have to praise them as "good people—no, good gods."

The only possible loss would be the Sleepless Potion Formula.

And as long as Ninglu controls the satellites of Vostonia, then without Moonstone, even if the Chaos Four Gods watched the entire process of his formulation, it would be useless.

Furthermore, a Sequence 9 Beyonder is ultimately just a starting point, capable of reaching the limits of an ordinary mortal in a certain field.

A Lawyer can allow a legal illiterate to quickly become a Jinpai Lüshi, but that is all.

A Sleepless is also only slightly stronger than an ordinary person in a dark environment; Bukayo utilized the enhancements of "Night Vision" and "Son of the Night" to kill gang members, yet could not defeat the Imperium Auxilia equipped with Auspex.

The combat power of a Sequence 8 Beyonder is also far inferior to an Astartes.

After awakening Gene Memory, the core of Ninglu's combat power system is the ability of a Primarch, and Beyonder abilities will play an increasingly greater role as his Tier ascends.

Of course, he does not just find anyone to bestow Beyonder powers upon; potential and loyalty are what he values most.

Ninglu returned to the real world and immediately decided to summon Luoersiliefu to cultivate him into a Beyonder using the experimental Warrior Potion.

Although Luoersiliefu's potential is not as great as Bukayo's, he is more loyal.

Moreover, after a Beyonder dies, the Beyonder characteristic will precipitate from within their body, which can be used as a main ingredient or to craft a Magical Item.

If the recovery is successful, it will not be wasted, which also makes him worry less about betrayal.
