Chapter 95: The Metal with a Mysterious Connection to Ninglu

While Saisake was dueling the Ogryn, Ninglu's consciousness spread toward a gate made of black stone.

The Ogryn's mind was simple yet solid; if one were to use brute force to break through, although it would be possible to intrude into his mind, it would also turn him into a fool, causing mental shattering and leading to a loss of information.

Having practiced for several years, the Primarch had long since reached the pinnacle of Mind-type psychic techniques.

In an instant, his consciousness transformed into a vast web of shadows, covering the entire gate.

The shadows seeped into the gate bit by bit, just like a shadow formed by light shining upon a gate.

Immediately, Ninglu obtained the information he needed regarding the local Ogryn traditions and the regional information of Daheishan.

This Planet possessed a majestic mountain range, and the stones on the mountain were all metal that shone with a black luster.

Ordinary Ogryns would never come back out once they went in; those who could return safely from it and forge black clubs and armor would become the leaders of the tribe.

Ninglu also noticed that this Patriarch was much smarter than an ordinary Ogryn; he could actually remember things in his mind with clear logic.

As he withdrew from the Ogryn, he thought to himself.

【It seems that the area that cannot be scanned is very special.】

Ninglu also realized that utilizing the traditions of the local Ogryn tribe was an opportunity to quickly conquer this world.

As he withdrew from the Ogryn's mind, Saisake also used a fierce slash to sever the head of the tribal leader.

While the Warriors were mopping up the enemy, Ninglu walked to the side of the leader and picked up his club to observe it.

The moment it was in his hand, his black eyes began to glow.

The Ogryn had not mastered any forging techniques; this club was something he had spent a very long time using great strength to grind out bit by bit, holding one stone against another harder stone.

The parts that had not been touched still retained their original texture characteristics.

The black stone, covered in a matte-textured oxidation layer on the surface, was neither a psychic material nor an Anti-Psychic Material.

But Ninglu still keenly discovered that, besides magnetism, it also possessed special properties.

Its surface was alternately arranged with white growth patterns of the Gothic {XI} and {XXXIII}, and these growth patterns were arranged irregularly.

In some places, {XI} was dense, while in others, it was relatively sparse.

The Primarch glanced at it again and keenly sensed that the armor on the Ogryn leader's body also had the same irregular growth patterns.

The silver-haired Arsena also walked over; he picked up a piece of armor fragment that had been cut off by Saisake and injected telekinetic power into it.

A moment later, having finished the analysis using psychic powers, he reported to Ninglu according to the knowledge he had obtained from the books on the Relic-class Warship.

"This kind of magnetic metal is not composed of a single structure; its main components are three types of black metals: iron, manganese, and chromium."

"None of the three are black. Pure iron and chromium are silvery-white, and manganese is grayish-white."

"Natural magnetic metals can appear in block, granular, or crystalline structures; these are all crystalline structures."

Arsena glanced at the black armor fragment in his hand and said with great interest.

"During the crystallization process, iron, manganese, and chromium ions periodically enriched to form banded structures; these characteristics usually only appear in artificially manufactured Barium Ferrite."

"In the books I read, it was mentioned that the ores of some Planets would cause the ores in certain areas to form identical growth patterns due to gravity, stellar gravity, and some unknown reasons."

Ninglu nodded slightly; this was the reason why the growth patterns of the metal crystals presented special numbers.

"Its unit cell is denser than ordinary ones; it should be the structural basis for ultra-high magnetism."

Ninglu stared at the ore in his hand and couldn't help but think.

【This metal is simply my symbol!

The disordered growth patterns, 11, 33. Disorder can be associated with the "Kingdom of Disorder". The true face of the Source Essence has thirty-three layers of space, and I am the Eleventh Primarch.

Iron, manganese, and chromium of varying degrees of white, yet often appearing black, are known as black metals. This can be associated with the Order Shadow of the "Black Emperor".】

Ninglu's eyes were profound, associating mysticism with the relationship to deities.

【Although the Four Ruinous Powers are Warp deities, they also have symbols in the real world.

They each have their own symbols in the realms of color and number: the red Khorne is 8, the blue Tzeentch is 9, the green Nurgle is 7, and the purple Slaanesh is 6.

Their followers will embody these elements in sacrificial rituals, the use of weapons, and even on armor and weapons.】

By embodying the symbols, one creates a connection with the deity.

Ninglu also thought of the mysteries, which were the same.

【The Goddess of the Night is associated with the moon and silver; followers will use silver materials when performing Ritual Magic, the Eternal Blazing Sun is associated with the sun and gold...】

His black eyes shone, and his brain spun rapidly.

【If I establish a mystical connection with this metal by designing ritual language.

When Beyonders use them as materials for Ritual Magic, they can point to me if they cooperate with the appropriate ritual.

If I then leverage the power of the Source Essence "Kingdom of Disorder", I can satisfy the prayers of the followers to a certain extent.】

The "Fool" and "Hermit" pathways and others all possess the ability of Ritual Magic, but when using it, one must pray to the deity they believe in for realization.

When Chaos followers pray to the Four Ruinous Powers, they also need to attract the deity's attention, which most of the time costs souls and life.

Luojia sacrificed the lives of hundreds of Planets and the Primarch Angron to obtain power and complete the spell that isolated the eastern galaxy.

Ninglu further pondered the feasibility of this, and from Ritual Magic, he thought of more uses for the "Kingdom of Disorder".

【Although I am only Sequence 7, the authority I have unlocked for the "Kingdom of Disorder" is not high enough.

But I am still a Primarch; after awakening my Gene Memory, my status should be comparable to a high-sequence Beyonder, and I can leverage the power of the "Kingdom of Disorder" to a certain extent.

Once I design the entire process of the Ritual Magic, I can simplify it and selectively tell a portion of the people; when they face the corruption of the Four Ruinous Powers, I will be able to stop it in time.】

Thinking of this, the status of the black metal in Ninglu's heart rose from an ordinary mineral to the height of a strategic resource.

Although there were many details, such as the format of chanting incantations, describing his own honorific name, and the ritual process, which needed exploration and experimentation, at least he already had a train of thought and a direction for effort.

Ninglu decided to change his plan and immediately set about conquering Daheishan.

The first thing he had to face was the problem of signal interference; after thinking for a second, he thought that the Spy Fly manufactured by the space monkeys might be able to play a role.

Ninglu opened his communicator and issued an order on the Legion channel.

"All Company Captains, report the psychics in your companies."

"First Company, five."

Saisake, who was directing his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, immediately replied.

"Second Company, four."

"..."

Only the Seventh Captain did not respond, as he was in a signal-dead zone of Daheishan.

When Ninglu returned to the Void Hunter to retrieve the Spy Fly, Sanchez, inside Daheishan, also encountered the first squad of Ogryns since entering the mountain.

As soon as they encountered them, an Ogryn holding a large black crystal club let out a strange cry.

Following his cry, a bolt of black lightning tore through the sky and struck down at the Order Shadows of the Seventh Company.
