Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 635 Mass Conversion of Immortals: Malena's Uniqueness
Northwest region of the Milky Way, the cradle of serpents.

Nimrod once again set foot on Planet Six, where the vast number of Slaanesh demons had disappeared due to the destruction of the warp portal.

The original blue light of the binary stars illuminated the entire surface of the planet.

Nimrod's consciousness spread out, sweeping over the translucent marble slab, the tough basalt, and the obsidian tempered by volcanoes.

Planet VI can be classified as a rocky world, which can meet the construction needs of the entire star sector.

Of course, the Eldar's skill in combining psionic energy and magic means that the produce of their land still surpasses that of the agricultural world transformed by the Empire, and even exceeds the psionic terraces of Tizkar.

His consciousness immediately perceived the clear spring water flowing between the rocks, and upon touching it, he could immediately sense its difference.

Ninglu instantly recognized that it was the material Slau Da used to transform immortals.

Golden wings flapped behind him, and he took off.

The golden light streaked past like a streak of light, arriving at the rocky ground in an instant, overlooking the spring water that was so clear it was almost crystal clear.

With each breath he took, the sweet scent of the spring water filled his nostrils.

Physical fatigue dissipates along with mental exhaustion.

"The rumors are true."

Ninglu sighed, realizing that the sweet spring water of the Cradle of Snakes, which was said to cure all diseases, was indeed true, as it was rumored in the future port of call and port of wandering.

The "Chaos Mentor's" spiritual intuition was suddenly triggered, and he immediately opened his spiritual vision to gaze upon the overflowing spiritual radiance.

[A fountain overflowing with spirituality!]
Ninglu thought in astonishment. After examining it for a moment, he confirmed that its spiritual radiance was similar to that of the dice of the Sequence 3 level of prophecy.

[Sequence 3 is the primary material for transforming into immortals. Could it correspond to the "Immortal Witch" at Sequence 3 of the "Witch" pathway?]
The "Chaos Mentor" examined the spring water for a long time. In his spiritual vision, the spring water was free of impurities and exuded a pure, life-giving color.

Ninglu turned his head and looked to his right. Six kilometers away stood an organic spire made of psionic crystals.

[The great demon Slaanesh did not corrupt the spring; perhaps he lacked the power, or perhaps he merely used it as bait.]
As Ning Lu guessed, he flipped his right palm, revealing a crystal bottle in his palm.

The Primarch's eyes flashed, and with a telekinetic hand, he carried the crystal bottle above the spring and scooped it up to the brim.

Ninglu had a sudden thought, and immediately took it to the "Land of Chaos".

The crystal bottle remained unchanged, the pure spring water radiating a spiritual glow and a sweet aroma.

"It went even more smoothly than I expected. The ritual to transform immortals could be carried out without purification."

As Ning Lu pondered, he arrived at the newly opened tenth level of space.

The moment the "Chaos Mentor" stepped into the newly opened space, he saw lines of gray rules that formed the entire space into a box.

It is obvious that this layer of space corresponds to the "black box".

Ning Lu immediately sensed the difference in ability between this layer of space and his own.

In addition to its status as a "disorderly nation," which makes its forced transactions more effective, it can also conduct remote transactions within a certain range.

He can trade with a certain area around him by relying on "related" items.

Ninglu immediately thought of an application scenario: to send the "spiritual sculptures" "associated" with the "disorderly country" into the area where he wanted to trade, and then carry out "behind-the-scenes" operations.

……

A week later, on the second planet of the Cradle of the Serpent, the plains were purified with holy water by the Extraordinary Ones through the "Sun" pathway.

Ninglu selected a location ten kilometers from the spring as the site for the ritual of transforming immortals.

The ceremony venue was arranged according to the symbols of Isha, the life goddess of the Spirit Clan.

The first thing to arrange is the bottom of the symbol.

The pit was dug so that the transformed person could lie down inside it.

Based on the bottom, determine the boundaries of other areas.

The "tree trunks" that intersect in a cross shape are "planted" above the transformation pit and are outlined by individual Elven runes.

The palm-sized gems are arranged in three leaf-shaped areas, located in the other three directions of the cross-shaped tree trunk.

Nimrod chose his most trusted man, Arsène Dunne, as the first to convert immortals.

He said to the silver-haired Primarch servant, "Arsena, I once said you would not die of old age."

"Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise."

"Lying in the pit."

Alsena gazed intently at the clear, sweet spring water in the pit, taking a deep breath; it was even more refreshing than pure air.

"Thank you my Lord."

He immediately took off his Hunter's Suit and stepped into the transformation pit.

Alsena immediately felt a cool sensation under his feet, a refreshing feeling spreading throughout his body.

He slowly waded into the spring water, feeling no shortness of breath. The spring water flowing into his nose made him feel exceptionally comfortable.

The Primogen's eyes flickered with light and shadow as it raised its hand and pressed it against the top of the leaf.

The entire ceremony area was illuminated with a dazzling light, brighter than the blue glow of stars.

As the brilliant light shone, Alsena felt the icy spring water instantly turn warm.

As if soaking in a hot spring, life force washed over his body, and the age spots on his arms and neck disappeared at a visible speed.

Ninglu's gaze pierced through the dazzling light, focusing on Alsena's body, which, though slightly dull, gradually became radiant.

The brilliant light gradually dimmed, then disappeared in a burst of dazzling light.

A gentle breeze blows, and the glittering gems turn to dust.

The spring water in the pit has dried up.

Alsena remained stunned for a few seconds before snapping out of his unusually comfortable state.

He seemed to be having a blissful dream, his body and mind in a perfect state.

After leaving the Abyss of Sac Trada, the faint weariness in his body vanished. Alsena immediately donned the Hunter's Suit and then approached the Black Emperor, who stood with his hands behind his back.

He knelt on one knee and said excitedly.

"Thanks be to my Lord, the life that Hrud took from me has been returned to my body."

"You have given me a new life."

Ning Lu slowly turned around and looked at the "erudite scholar".

"It is indeed a new life. You should have seen records of immortal people in historical materials."

"The Emperor, Macado, and Vokhan are all immortals."

"Now, like them, you will no longer die of old age and have a good ability to resurrect."

In the mind of the "erudite scholar," countless obscure pieces of information from books flashed by in an instant.

Each clue gradually becomes clear through reasoning.

[It turns out that what our Lord said, He promised that we would never grow old and die, that is, that we would become immortal beings.]

Our Lord came to this realm of space for our sake.

My Lord not only restored my lost life, but also made me immortal.
Alsena's narrow eyes shone like jewels as he solemnly made his promise.

“My Lord, I will follow the example of Makado and serve You forever, just as the seal-bearer serves the emperor.”

[No, Makado will burn to ashes and die; you will live longer.] Ninglu thought to himself, "Get up."

After Alsena stood up, Ninglu gave the instructions.

"Order the technical sergeant to establish a portal."

"The Legion has twelve chapters, and the Cradle of the Serpent has exactly twelve planets. Each chapter will receive one, and they will settle and develop there."

"Planet One, covered in forests, belongs to the Seventh Warband; Planet Two belongs to the Second Warband; and Planet Three, a deep-sea world, belongs to the Ninth Warband..."

Ten sidereal days later, a hundred meters from the site of the first conversion, Malena Scala and Diana Pauline, their cheeks flushed, stood before the conversion pit.

Seeing that Ninglu's dignified gaze held no lust and remained unchanged, Malena did not hesitate and immediately lay down in the clear spring water.

The capable Diana heard the sound of water and immediately lay down.

As a dazzling light rose, Diana's messy blonde hair quickly turned back into a brilliant gold.

As a bio-chemical psychic, Malena's perception was even clearer.

She felt the life force surging into her body.

Every cell in her body was pulsating.

The bio-psychic examines herself, determines her level of life, and undergoes a fundamental change.

Every cell was changing in ways she couldn't comprehend.

Even biochemical energy cannot make such a huge change at the cellular level.

[So this is the method my Lord spoke of. How amazing!]
Malena strained to spread her psychic energy, exploring the changes in her body. She vaguely discerned patterns resembling transformation sites within the light of life.

Just as she was sketching out abstract runes in her mind, she suddenly fell into a state of mental blankness.

A glint of light flashed in the Primarch's eyes as he looked at Malena.

His gaze did not fall upon the naked body; the perfect body of the bio-psychic was not beyond the realm of the mortal and held no attraction for him.

The gaze of the progenitor is fixed on the sea of ​​souls.

On the other side of the curtain, a dazzling light shone from a colorful vortex.

It seems that not only the body has transformed, but also the spirit.

Why was Malena different from others?
As Ning Lu pondered, the light dimmed.

The Primarch keenly noticed that Malena emerged from her trance a second later than Diana.

Malena and Diana approached Nimrod, who stood with his hands behind his back, and expressed their gratitude.

After inquiring about Malena's transformation process, Ninglu determined that her special nature was related to the use of bio-psychic energy to probe during the transformation.

Nimrod did not stop the process of transformation; in each of the twelve worlds, there were springs of varying numbers but similar sizes.

He further expanded the scope of the transformation.

The leaders of the "wrong" theft gang are Tierney, Maria Kournikova, and Dementieva, the leaders of the "assassins".

After the two "Pleasure Witches" were transformed, they were pleasantly surprised to find that their abilities had both improved.

Upon learning this, Ninglu determined that the spring water corresponded to the "ageless witch," and thus named it the Fountain of Immortality.

Immediately, Ninglu also included the Legion's high-ranking officers in the conversion program.

Although Astartes usually die in battle before they grow old, Sigismund will still die from old age at the hands of Abaddon, who is enhanced by the Four Merchants.

While Nimrod cannot transform every offspring into an immortal, the Fountain of Youth is sufficient to satisfy the Legion's high command's conversion needs.

In addition to the lords, he also selected a group of company commanders.

Wilshire, the Lord of Light of the Second Warband, and two of the company commanders, First Company Commander Winterburn and Second Company Commander Olivier, completed their transformation in a blue light.

The Death Lord Adams of the Fourth Warband, Company Commander Oliver, Company Commander Keown, and Chief Pharmacist Mikel were transformed in the darkness.

Thomas, the director of the think tank, Nicholas from the Storm faction, Miguel Cuesta from the Technology faction, Ethan from the Unyielding faction, and Okafor from the Mind faction all undergo transformation simultaneously.

Pastor Pat and his deputy, Martin, who was in charge of the "Sun" pathway.

Thomas and Okafor, who possess the "Eye of the Secrets," also underwent spiritual purification and a significant enhancement of their psychic abilities after seeing the symbol of Isa, the goddess of life.

Nimrod did not convert Hasik into an immortal; Hasik had not served him long enough to deserve a reward.

After he promoted Hasik, who had become a true “provocative man,” to the Rank 7 “arsonist,” he began to set up his own conversion ritual.
