Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 669 I Can Form an Army by My Own

Under the grey light of Viziore, Nimrod led the Honor Guard and the First Chapter to ascend to the main star.

This time, he will still rely on the altar and use the stasis device, but the difference is that instead of limiting, it will amplify.

Nimrod intends to eliminate the main force of the Hruds in Wizol in one fell swoop.

But before he could carry out his plan, he had to seize the wealth accumulated by the Hruds—the mycelium scrolls that recorded history, which were also the main ingredients for the "Scholar's" potion.

After ordering Arsène Dunn and others to build a ritual altar, he spread his own consciousness.

The Primarch's consciousness swept across the ruins of the broken hive city and the warm underground caverns.

Each Hrud, enveloped in the distorting force field, was exposed to his telepathic abilities.

As his consciousness spread downwards, the area he covered rapidly shrank, but he could clearly discern the network of tunnels from the spiderweb-like tunnels.

Ninglu saw the moldy room, the solidified mycelium arranged in rows on the shelves, and the mycelium scrolls scattered in leaf-shaped containers and on the floor.

The "Chaos Mentor's" consciousness immediately locked onto a Hrud, whose mind was filled with specks of white, which, with the power of the mind, sent intangible, sand-like substances into the target's brain.

As spiritual energy is depleted, the sand-grain-sized egg rapidly grows larger, forming an invisible gate like a string of beads.

The "Chaos Mentor" became ethereal and vanished instantly, its physical body transforming into a pure spiritual entity, which then reassembled underground thousands of kilometers away.

boom!
With a loud bang, several white bees swarmed around him.

The Hruds blinked their huge black eyes, and a faint glimmer of light appeared in their otherwise dull eyes.

With a thought, the "Chaos Mentor" commanded the white Soul-Devouring Bees to buzz.

An invisible spiritual mist permeated the air, drifting and seeping into the minds of the Hruds.

The "Chaos Mentor" probed into the body of the Hrud, guided by an invisible sense.

White, rice-grain-sized bee eggs are formed inside the brains of the Hruds.

The "chaotic mentor" spreads spirituality, and white grains of rice grow rapidly.

Amid a series of explosions, the slippery skin burst open, and stinking fragments of the robe scattered everywhere.

More than twenty white spirit bees appeared out of thin air, flew towards Ning Lu, and circled around him.

Ning Lu's eyes flashed. After the experiment just now, he was certain that he could not only control the Soul-Devouring Bees generated by the "Invisible Eggs", but also control the offspring derived from their eggs.

This is the effect of using a queen bee.

With enough spirituality, I can form an army all by myself!

Although my path is somewhat monotonous compared to the "Death God" pathway, which includes "Necromancers" and "Gatekeepers," it's easier to find than undead creatures.
The Primogen's eyes flickered with light and shadow, and rows of shelves and mycelial scrolls surged toward him before vanishing into thin air.

Ninglu strode forward, his imposing black body surrounded by a swarm of white bees.

The Primarch surged forward, and a tide of Hruds, carrying a sticky warmth, rushed in. His gaze pierced through the distorted layers of force fields and saw their constantly twitching jaws.

The “Chaos Mentor” greeted the surging Hruds, and as his spirituality spread, the white swarm grew rapidly.

As his spiritual energy rapidly depleted, the crimson chain on his right little finger glowed, restoring his spiritual energy.

The number of white spirit-devouring bees increased from dozens to hundreds, and eventually to tens of thousands.

As Ninglu stepped out of the cave, a layer of clouds composed of tens of thousands of spirit-devouring bees filled the sky above him, buzzing loudly.

[If they encountered psychics like Qianzi, they wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the swarm of bees alone would be enough to instill fear in them.]
Ninglu recalled Prospero's battles, and the scene of Carlofis, the head of the "Fire Phoenix School" temple, fighting against the Soul-Eating Bees also came to mind. [Even the head of the temple, when surrounded by tens of thousands of Soul-Eating Bees, could only manage to escape at best.]

Combined with telekinetic interference, they can't run away even if they want to.

Even against Magnus, the Soul-Eating Bees can cause some disruption, but they pose no real threat.
As Nimrod recalled Magnus's battle against the Soul-Eating Bees, he suddenly remembered that Chagatai had gone to Prospero to investigate the truth during the grand birthday celebration.

Among the living Soul Eater Bees, only the Queen Bee poses a certain threat to the Primarch, but if there is only one, the threat is not significant.

But the Soul-Eating Bee Ghosts are different; they are more terrifying after death than in life, and Chagatai was somewhat embarrassed when he was besieged.

The destroyed Prospero is also a treasure trove; even disregarding the entrance to the underworld in the river, it's more valuable than Sonem 8.
As Ninglu pondered, the Soul-Devouring Bees swarmed towards him, then vanished into thin air and reappeared in the second layer of the "Disordered Kingdom".

With a flap of his golden wings, he flew toward the altar.

……

Under the dim gray light, the veteran "sheriff" Yashin stood in front of the cave, feeling that his newly established "jurisdiction" was being invaded by chaotic and distorted forces.

He looked up and glanced at the sky, a hazy gray sky with a faint glimmer of light.

"Prepare for battle; the Hruds have launched an attack ahead of schedule."

The cave quickly became scorching hot, and the Hruds, having lost their historical treasures, poured out of the cave and launched an angry attack.

Judge Yashin's eyes gleamed with a bright gold, and he raised his hand, shouting in Dunn's tongue, "The distortion of the entropy energy field is 'prohibited' here!"

Golden light surged up, and countless runes covered the cave entrance.

A vortex of light swept through the dark cave, colliding with a misty entropy wave, dispelling the distortion effect.

As the biofield shattered, the bodies of the Hruds became visible.

Yashin steadily retreated, raised his left arm, and fired his archaeological pistol toward the dome above the cave.

The blue beam extracted from the star of the Cradle of the Serpent ignited the molten bomb planted by the senior "interrogator," which then detonated a series of bombs planted in the cave by the explosives expert.

Rumble!
Amidst the tremors of the earthquake, dazzling flames leaped up, turning the tunnel, which was tens of kilometers long and several kilometers deep, into a sea of ​​fire.

Inside the tunnel, a distorted entropy energy field rippled, and the flames rapidly dissipated.

The Hruds continued to rush forward, but just one kilometer into the cave entrance, the entropy field surrounding them ceased to function, and as the entropy waves around them dissipated, the distortion effect vanished.

The Hruds, wave after wave, were quickly burned to ashes in the flames.

Thousands of Hruds surged in, but were restricted by the tunnels, limiting the number that could gather on the front.

The spiritual environment created by the "prohibition" still held the upper hand in the collision with the entropy energy field, and the Hruds screamed in unwillingness amidst the painful burning.

The undulating, distorted force field, like drops of water poured into a sea of ​​fire, gradually extinguishes the flames.

Three minutes after the inferno began to burn fiercely, the Hruds realized that their biofield was unable to suppress the eerie inferno.

They scattered rapidly, their limbs extending, their fingers slid across the surface, digging tunnels.

Rumble!
A series of bombs planted by the "interrogators" detonated rapidly, collapsing a tunnel several kilometers long.

The scattered Hruds, engulfed by flames, screamed in despair amidst their agony.
