Chapter 189: The Final Assessment of the Eleventh Chapter and the First Chapter

"Kingdom of Disorder", third layer of Real Space.

The black wolf tilted its head, looking suspiciously at the silver tower before it.

【Where did the black-armored giant go?】

The black wolf shook its head violently, driving the terrifying black-armored giant from its mind.

It had only submitted temporarily due to the situation, intending to find an opportunity to escape once the black-armored giant let its guard down.

The black-armored giant disappearing was for the best, regardless of the reason.

The weak black wolf looked greedily at the silver spiral tower; it remembered the noble girl's nightmare, which was so delicious and pure.

The black wolf's eyes flashed, and it immediately pulled the noble girl into a dream.

Chasing, toying...

After repeating the enjoyment five times, the black wolf decided to swallow the girl's nightmare.

Just as it wanted to devour the girl's nightmare, it felt a terrifying aura approaching.

The black wolf turned to flee; it did not encounter the black-armored warrior who could cast fire spells again.

Ninglu simplified the cycle's process, highlighting himself to leave a deep impression in the black wolf's heart.

A moment later, the black wolf was sent flying again, crashing to the ground in a sorry state.

The black wolf lay resentfully at the feet of the black-armored giant; it was increasingly determined to find a chance to escape, yet it said fawningly like a pet dog.

"I am willing... to be your... pet."

The next instant, the scene shifted abruptly, and the black wolf found itself back beside the silver tower.

It looked around in shock and uncertainty: "What is going on?"

The black wolf looked around, glanced longingly at the top of the silver tower once more, and then turned to flee.

After more than ten consecutive cycles, it lay on the ground like a salted fish, saying with exhaustion of body and mind.

"If you want to kill me, just do it; stop torturing me."

The black wolf lay comfortably for a long time; it discovered it was still alive, and opening its eyes, it found itself lying right beside the silver tower.

The black wolf flipped up, a fierce glint flashing in its black eyes; since it could not run, it would eat its fill.

The black wolf pulled the noble girl into a dream; its body trembled as a terrifying aura approached, and it tried its best to control the instinct to flee.

It quickly constructed a nightmare, then impatiently lunged toward the "food".

The next instant, the black wolf discovered that the nightmare it had swallowed shattered like a bubble.

There was nothing, as if it had only had a dream.

While being sent flying, the black wolf thought sorrowfully.

【What a nightmare from which I cannot wake!

I create nightmares every night, and now I have actually fallen into a nightmare myself!】

The black wolf suddenly understood many terms it had encountered in the dream but had not understood:

Irony, reaping what one sows, retribution for evil, a fate worse than death...

While the black wolf repeated its cycle, Ninglu met with twenty-three families on Terra and received the report that Mikel had arrived.

The Primarch then returned to the Shadow of Sovereignty, and through questioning and observing the color of his aura, Ninglu confirmed that he had already digested the "Apothecary" Potion.

Ninglu then returned to the "Kingdom of Disorder" and, using the largest mammoth from Fenris as the main ingredient, concocted the Potion for the Sequence 8 Beast Tamer.

Inside the Primarch's office in the palace, Mikel, gathering his scattered power, said in a low voice: "Beast Tamer."

The orange-furred brain-cat beside him sprang up violently and jumped to the side.

In the brain-cat's mind, nightmare memories surfaced; it had been tortured by the black-armored giant with various potions time and time again.

Only when it felt familiarity and comfort from the mind link did it calm down.

The brain-cat lying on the ground beside Ninglu had its ginger fur standing on end.

Through the mind link, Ninglu could feel the brain-cat's thoughts.

The brain-cat intuitively felt that Mikel was dangerous; he was its natural enemy.

The Primarch stopped the brain-cat from using psychic spells through the mind link, but it did not lie back down, its pitch-black eyes watching the "Beast Tamer" vigilantly.

The corners of Ninglu's mouth curved; the reaction of the brain-cats was very interesting, and he said with a smile.

"That's right, I have a mission to entrust to you; after you complete this mission, you will be able to master the power I bestow upon you."

"Father, please speak."

"Go to the Seventh Legion, tame those thunder wolves, and breed wolf pups."

After Mikel received his orders, Ninglu asked again.

"How many Apothecaries and servants does the Legion currently have?"

"The Legion currently has fifty-two official Apothecaries and one hundred and thirty-four apprentices."

"There are one thousand three hundred and eighty-four servants capable of performing Gaizao Shouhu."

Ninglu nodded with satisfaction and then said.

"When sending apprentices to the 'Selena Gene Cult' on the moon to study, besides knowledge of Gaizao Shouhu, one must also pay attention to the study of communication signals and languages."

The Chief Apothecary recalled that when he received training on the moon, he noticed that the communication signals used by the "Selena Gene Cult" were quite different from the Imperium's standard signals.

They used an organic form of genetic binary code, which was a Rotating Cipher Language Technology based on the sender's unique genetic sequence.

Mikel left thoughtfully, secretly speculating on the deeper meaning behind the Primarch's order.

The three Chapters of the Eleventh Legion, following the Primarch's orders, headed to the Solar System to assemble.

In Exemplar City of Vostonia, Per Koscielny, wearing black robes and about to walk into the Arbitration Hall, had memories flashing rapidly through his mind.

In his memories, there were both blurred images and vivid, profound experiences.

After passing the recruit selection, he had boarded a Void Ship along with the other candidates.

Subsequent Gaizao Shouhu were all completed on the Milaojiapans; the cold operating rooms, the hard bed boards, and the metal training cages on the training deck together formed his vague and monotonous memories aboard the Void Ship.

His experiences throughout the training facilities on various worlds were clearer and more vivid.

The urban training base in Vostonia, the endurance and adaptability training facilities in the Cradle of the Sea, the high-gravity training base in the Ape-man System...

Per Koscielny always performed excellently, receiving an A+ rating from every instructor.

Today is the final assessment he must face, an assessment unique to the 11th Chapter.

Per Koscielny must act as a Lawyer to defend his client.

Having undergone all Gaizao Shouhu, Per has no need for a Data Slate; all the information in the case file is exceptionally clear in his mind.

Per knows that the subjects defended by all recruits during their final assessment have, in a strict sense, violated the provisions of Vostonian law.

What they violated was not the Iron Law of the Monarch established by the Primarch, but the Omnissiah's Guidance, which is still used in a limited scope.

After the Primarch unified Vostonia, he did not abolish the entire Omnissiah's Guidance; he retained its essential parts to keep factory facilities operating at high efficiency.

Having received mental training, Per understands that this is a manifestation of the Primarch's philosophy of "utilizing rules."

The provisions of the Omnissiah's Guidance regarding industrial production are highly effective and should be utilized well.

Per strode into the Arbiter Hall and immediately looked toward the Arbitrator in the main seat; he knew his opponent today was a Candidate from the 1st Chapter.

In the entire Legion, only the 1st Chapter and the 11th Chapter have all recruits hailing from Vostonia.

The 1st Chapter and the 11th Chapter do not accept recruits from other worlds, including Terra and the Cradle of the Sea; this is the Primarch's regulation.

The arbitration system from before the Primarch descended from the heavens has been retained; during the final assessment, Candidates from the 1st Chapter and the 11th Chapter respectively play the roles of Arbiter and Lawyer to compete, which is a continuation of tradition.

As the top-ranked Candidate of the 11th Chapter, his opponent is the top-ranked Candidate of the 1st Chapter from the same cohort; the second-ranked of the 11th Chapter faces the second-ranked of the 1st Chapter, and so on.

Perhaps only one of them can pass the final assessment, unless both perform excellently and cause all jurors to give a passing rating, allowing them to pass together.

Those who pass the assessment will receive black power armor and become a true Order Shadow.

Those who are eliminated must undergo special Chapter training again and wait for the next final assessment.
