Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 130: Can the Dark Codex become a Space Marine?
At present, Luojia's positioning of this other world is that the Theocracy will undoubtedly be built into a fortress. The portal connected there is too important and it is not suitable as a religious and administrative center. The residents there will also have to be relocated later.

Fortunately, although there are no Imperial Fists among the units brought over by the Emperor this time, there is also a group of Iron Warriors. The number is a little small, only a few hundred people, and there are no famous figures, but it seems okay to use them to build a fortress.

And these Iron Warriors are also very happy.

In contrast, the Holy Kingdom was chosen as the center of faith in the God-Emperor. In Lorgar's plan, the Holy Kingdom would eventually become a greater city than the Perfect City and become his gift to the Emperor.

Now Lorgar often goes to the Holy Kingdom to preach in person. Under the influence of the Primarch and the Empire's unimaginable power over the alien world, the Imperial State Religion spreads rapidly and soon replaces the Holy Kingdom's own faith in the Holy Spirit. As for the Faceless Men who believed in Ainz, all the high-ranking ones were executed, half of the middle-ranking ones were executed, and eleven of the low-ranking ones were killed. They have become completely obedient.

Those rescued from the Great Tomb of Nazarick by the Human Empire were also sent to the Holy Kingdom for treatment. Many of them had completely collapsed as a result of the damage they had sustained.

According to the Empire's previous way of treating such people, the best way is to use brainwashing or memory deletion to make them return quickly.

However, these people who have suffered from magical torture are themselves important scientific research samples, so the Mechanicus has adopted conservative psychiatric treatment, hoping to learn more data from them about the effects of magic on humans.

Among these victims, there are also some individuals who performed relatively better.

Among them, except for Zetsuze Zetsumei, who was deliberately targeted, most of the Theocracy's Black Codex were imprisoned as Ainz's precious experimental subjects. Although they suffered a lot of torture in the process, the time was short after all, and the inmates in the Black Codex were not ordinary people.

During the inspection, the Mechanicus personnel were pleasantly surprised to find that the divine captain of the Black Codex possessed extremely outstanding qualifications.

The captain of the Black Scripture is codenamed Black Scripture. He is the strongest existence in the Theocracy except for the non-staff members Zesi Zeming. He can even defeat all members of the Black Scripture except Zesi Zeming alone. He is called an awakened god-man and is said to have inherited the bloodline from the six great gods (player).

The captain's real name is Kuro. When he goes on missions, he wears a mask to disguise himself in different appearances, but his actual age is far from the Theocracy's standard of 20 years old for adulthood. In fact, Captain Kuro has not even passed puberty.

If the captain's strength is calculated according to the level of the other world, it can reach level 70. In this world, he is undoubtedly a strong man. Compared with the Space Marines, his basic physical ability is much stronger than that of ordinary Space Marines.

The most important point is that although Kuro is a bit old, he still meets the transformation standards.

According to the Word Bearers' idea, they wanted to absorb Kuro and transform him into the first native Space Marine of this alien world.

This idea made its way to the desk of the Primarch Lorgar.

The creation of the first Space Marine by humans in a brand new universe is an act that is very ritualistic, even sacred. It is also a great honor for the person being transformed.

In order to confirm whether this behavior was reliable, Luo Jia personally invited Turing Zeta, who was hiding in the laboratory and almost going crazy, to come out.

A comprehensive analysis was conducted on Captain Kuro in terms of his genes, mental state, and other aspects. It was finally concluded that after a period of recuperation and his mental state has recovered to a good level, the probability of his success is still very high.

At that time, Sage Turing Zeta will also be willing to perform surgery on the captain personally.

After getting confirmation, Luo Jia went to meet the captain in person.

The members of the Black Codex were all assigned to a villa in the capital of the Holy Kingdom. The overall environment was relaxed, with plenty of food, some game props, and soul-cleansing books such as "The Words of the Emperor".

The captain of the Black Scripture was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Astrology Qianli was sitting next to him, reading the Second Edition of the Emperor's Sacred Words attentively.

Astrology Qianli was the only person in the Black Scripture who successfully escaped, and later came into contact with the Human Empire. This time, the Empire sent Astrology Qianli over because they were all members of the Black Scripture.

The effect is quite good. As a rare acquaintance, Astrology Qianli can easily enter the inner world of these former colleagues who were being tortured not long ago.

For the members of the Black Scripture, after their defeat in the battle with the Sorcerous Kingdom, they thought they were doomed and never thought that they would one day see the light of day again.

Of course, everyone’s attitude is different, and some recover faster than others.

For someone like the godly captain Kuro, the damage he suffered in the great tomb was too much for him. Now he has no motivation to do anything and just wants to stay like this.

Astrology Qianli didn't have any good solution for the time being, so he could only sit aside and accompany him.

Just when Captain Kuro was clearing his mind, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

With Captain Kuro's consent, the door was opened, and a giant over three meters tall, wearing a gold and red robe and a triple crown on his head, pushed the door open and walked in.

Kuro had never expected that the person coming would be Lorgar, the highest authority in this unimaginable behemoth, the Human Empire, and he was unable to react for a moment.

Astrologer Qianli next to him stood up subconsciously, holding the book with both hands and looking very nervous.

The giant didn't hesitate and sat down beside Kuro's bed, then spoke:

"Hello, I am the Primarch of the Word Bearers Legion and the current Pope of the State Religion. Don't be nervous or afraid. I have something to discuss with Kuro this time."

Although it was still a short time, Kuro still knew the meaning of the Primarch. In the Slaine Theocracy, the status of the Primarch was almost equivalent to the six descendants of the first generation of gods.

However, considering that the Empire was far more powerful than the Slaine Theocracy, the true power of the Primarch was beyond his imagination.

Kuro and Astrology Qianli both wanted to reply standing up, but Luo Jia pressed them back to their respective positions with both hands.

"No need to be so reserved. I have something to talk to you about that has something to do with your future."

"Please tell me."

"I'll go get everyone out."

Sitting with this kind of Son of God still made Astrology Qianli feel uneasy. She wanted to call other members of the Black Scripture to temporarily leave the scene.

Luo Jia looked at her and replied, "No, this is only about Kuro."

This time, Kurobi was even more fearful than Astrology Qianli. He had indeed been very rampant in the past. After all, when he was still young, he awakened the blood of the gods and had overwhelming power compared to the surrounding countries in his teens.

However, after being taught a lesson by Zesijieming, he became more restrained. Afterwards, he was severely crushed by Ainz and his companions, and his original pride and arrogance were shattered to the ground.

Now he saw that one of the strongest men in the Human Empire, which was much more powerful than the Sorcerous Kingdom, had actually taken the initiative to approach him and talk about something that only concerned him.

Kuro really couldn't figure out which reason he would be favored by the Human Empire.

Looking at Kuro's panic-stricken look, Luo Jia smiled bitterly. It seemed that he came at the wrong time. It would be better to ask his priests to do the work for him first.

But now that I'm here, there's no reason to go back directly.

"Well, you are a good candidate, a very good candidate, so I came here to ask if you are willing to undergo transformation surgery and become a Space Marine?"

"As for Space Marines, they are the warriors wearing power armor outside. After undergoing the transformation surgery, your strength, speed, and endurance will be stronger. However, we have never performed surgery on Space Marines in this world, so we don't know if there are some special diseases. There are great risks in the transformation process. Do you understand what I mean?"

"As the Son of God, you came here just for this?"

To Kuro, Lorgar's behavior seemed a little weird.

If this powerful human empire really wanted to, would it be qualified to negotiate?
"You will be the first native-born Space Marine in this world, in this universe. This is very symbolic and very important. So I hope you can make up your own mind and understand the significance of all this."

Kuro clenched his fists.

Of course he had seen those Space Marines before, and he felt that he was definitely better than most of them in a battle of strength, but it was undeniable that these Space Marines were much stronger than ordinary mortals.

According to this Primarch, Space Marines were originally modified from humans, rather than a special subspecies of humans.

If I also undergo transformation, will I become stronger?

Kuro thought about Juesijueming, the woman who once seemed extremely powerful to him, was now just hiding in the corner and shivering, and it was completely impossible to communicate with her.

"Please ask, how much stronger will I be than I am now?"

Kuro asked, looking at Lorgar very seriously.

"I'm not going to lie to you about this question, but because you're the first Space Marine we've transformed here, the exact values ​​are uncertain. But according to calculations, your physical abilities will probably be twice as strong as they are now."

"Double?"

Captain Kuro thought for a moment, then nodded heavily.

The world has changed. Even a blind man can see that the human empire is the ruler of the future.

Now that I can truly join the other side, I can become stronger and gain their protection at the same time. This is a really good thing. There is no reason to refuse, and some risks are completely acceptable.

"Have you considered it?"

"Think about it."

"Very good, welcome then. Have a good rest today. Someone will perform preliminary surgery tomorrow."

Lorgar smiled and stroked Kuro's hair.
