Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 6 Becoming an Extraordinary

In the foundry, after a furnace that had been vacant for hundreds of years was cleaned, Nimrod drove away everyone within a hundred meters and closed the monitoring room.

He took a rubber spoon and began to mix the potion.

There is no need for any advanced techniques to prepare potions. You just need to put the auxiliary ingredients first and then the main ingredients, and put them in the correct order according to the recipe, and then stir them.

Nimrod poured 1100 ml of Hellas Volt into the furnace and lit the fire.

Then he threw in a thorn crystal. When the crystal cluster exploded in the furnace, he threw the unconscious two-meter-long Nest City giant rat in.

He stirred it a few times with a rubber spoon and saw that the giant rat melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was not only the result of thousands of wafers being cut, but also the wonderful reaction of the potion material.

Ninglu knew that it would make no difference if there was a little more or less auxiliary material, but the main material could not be a little more. He had repeatedly confirmed the length of the electric wire grass before.

He threw an 1100 mm long wire grass into it. The corrosive acidic juice splashed, further accelerating the reaction. Suddenly, there was a splashing sound inside, and the light around it turned light black.

When he threw in the chemical dog tongue, the boiling liquid in the furnace was only about half a meter.

As soon as the long tongue was thrown into the furnace, black mist emerged instantly, and the area around the furnace was hazy.

After a few seconds, the black mist dissipated and Ning Lu scooped out the sticky black liquid with a rubber spoon.

The liquids had a strange property: they connected to each other and never separated, leaving nothing behind in the furnace.

Nimrod knew that this was a unique property of the potion, and the "lawyer" potion had been successfully prepared.

It is impossible for someone who does not know the potion formula to make a potion by chance, because the order of the potion ingredients cannot be wrong and the quantity must be just right.

If you put the giant rat first and the thorn crystal later, you will only get a pot of stewed rat.

If you drink too much electric wire grass, the best outcome would be going crazy.

Ningluo poured the black liquid into the bowl. He knew that the more he hesitated and was afraid, the worse the absorption effect would be. As the Primarch, he was not worried about being poisoned and drank it directly.

Then he felt a cold sensation in his mouth, like swallowing a mouthful of ice cream, which then slid down his esophagus and into his stomach.

The cold feeling instantly penetrated into every cell, my vision quickly became blurred, and all colors became darker.

The gray furnace grows grayer, the red fireworks grow redder...

The colors are rich, like an oil painting.

At the same time, a huge amount of information flooded into my mind.

Having had this experience once before, he adapted to it immediately.

Gradually, Nimrod could see the surrounding scene clearly. All the colors were distinct and overlapping, and black mist was everywhere.

He also "saw" the body below him standing there, trembling, and his consciousness suddenly sank and merged with the body.

Nimrod felt his head swell and his temples ache.

He knew that this was the potion's power overflowing and there was no way to control it.

He needed to visualize a common, simple, easy object, and he chose the chainsword.

As he gradually shifted his attention to the imaginary chainsaw sword, the double images in his eyes gradually overlapped and became no longer blurry.

Nimrod picked up the prepared mirror and looked into his eyes. He found that the entire eyeball, including the white sclera, was pitch black.

He knew that this was a manifestation of the potion's power. If he learned to meditate and restrain himself, his eyes would return to normal.

He immediately tried it, walked to the back of the furnace, turned off the lumen light above his head, and made the place where he was dim.

The first step of meditation was the same as before. He closed his eyes and pictured the chainsaw sword in his mind.

When it came to imagining something that did not exist in this world, Nimrod was in trouble. There were so many worlds in the Milky Way that he couldn't even imagine something suitable.

An idea suddenly struck him, and he imagined the sign of the "Black Emperor" path in his mind.

He began by outlining chaotic black arcs, followed by the surrounding wings, spikes, and an abstract crown above.

As Nimrod gradually replaced the chainsaw sword with the "Black Emperor" path symbol, he was also merging with the transcendent "I", the infinite "I", and the cosmic "I", gaining knowledge that only he could understand.

In the field of mysticism, this is known as a "mystical experience," while the Thousand Sons call it ethereal travel. Nimrod's mind cleared, his body and mind quieted. The black mist reappeared, and his spirituality gradually expanded.

Like a stone thrown into a lake, his mind flashed through classics such as the Napoleonic Code of Ancient Terra and the Imperial Code formulated by the Emperor, as well as the physiological structure of humans, the composition of mechanical structures, and even the physiological structure and weaknesses of aliens such as greenskins.

Nimrod understood clearly that the former was obviously derived from the Beyonder identity of the "lawyer", while the latter should be the Emperor's combination of genetic science and psychic power, implanted into the Primarch's body, and he absorbed part of it when he was undergoing the "secret experience".

After a moment, after his superhuman brain absorbed all the knowledge, he decided to take this opportunity to practice the most common ability in the field of mysticism that most extraordinary people can master - clairvoyance.

Nimrod raised his hands and placed them before his eyes, with his index fingers touching but not touching.

He opened his eyes and instantly adapted to the dark environment. He focused his vision behind his hand and slowly moved his fingers.

Once, twice...

Ningluo saw a little fiery red color between his fingers. He knew that this was the initial stage of clairvoyance, and the color he saw was his own aura.

The field of mysticism divides each person's non-physical part into four layers. The core part is the "spiritual body", also known as the soul, and the overflow is called spirituality.

The toughness of the "spiritual body" determines a person's resistance to the subspace and various horrors.

The "Lawyer" potion strengthens spirituality, giving Beyonders the ability to discover and exploit loopholes in the rules and the weaknesses of their opponents, using order to defeat their opponents.

Although both of them attack weaknesses, the Emperor gave him the ability to kill enemies, while the "Lawyer" gave him the ability to use rules to attack opponents.

Beyond the "spiritual body" is the "astral body", which is a way of communicating with the spiritual world and the starry sky. It is the external manifestation of the former and is directly related to one's own will and current emotions.

The scene you see after taking the potion is the scene seen by the "astral body" wandering in the spiritual world, where the rules of the material world are not followed and the past, present and future may overlap.

Through experience and combined with the knowledge gained in the incubator, he knew that the so-called spiritual world was just another name for the subspace.

The "Astral Body" is the focus of the Thousand Sons' practice - the mind. Magnus created a practice method in this area - the state of mind, and passed it on to his descendants.

He also knew that Ahriman and other Thousand Sons would separate the "Astral Body" - which they called the Body of Light - from their main body and wander in the Warp.

The "Lawyer" potion did not strengthen the "Astral Body", but he knew that the manufacturing process of each Primarch was integrated into the essence of the Warp. Just now, he gained knowledge from the Warp on his first attempt.

Further out from the "astral body" is the "mental body", which involves the brain.

"Lawyer" strengthened and improved his logical thinking.

The outermost layer is the "etheric body", which is the manifestation of life energy and physical state.

The colors of different parts of the body are different. The hands we just saw are red, and the head is purple...

If the color is wrong, it means there is something wrong with your body.

Nimrod checked each part one by one, and they were all healthy. The whole body was shining brightly, while ordinary people were white.

Then he practiced how to exit the spiritual vision, focusing his attention, switching to a meditative state, closing his eyes, controlling his spirit, and repeatedly telling it to stop.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that the vision was over.

Nimrod practiced repeatedly, gave himself repeated suggestions, and influenced his spirituality repeatedly, leaving behind a simple switching action.

He tapped his brows twice to activate his spiritual vision. The furnaces, machine tools, etc. around him were no different, and there was no light at all.

Most inanimate objects have no soul.

When his eyes swept over the chainsaw sword, he found a bloody glow inside.

[Hmm? There's spiritual residue on Vulture's chainsword, maybe even potion ingredients.]
Ningluo had felt that this weapon was somewhat special before, so it was not surprising that he discovered that it contained spirituality after activating his clairvoyance.

He tapped his brows twice again, closed his spiritual vision, and prepared to observe other people's auras again later.

Nimrod then recalled the extraordinary abilities he gained from drinking the "Lawyer" potion.

　This article will explain the non-physical aspects of Warhammer and the occult. Both originate from mystical sources and share many similarities, though their names differ slightly. For example, the Astral Realm, like the Warp, is not bound by physical laws and intersects past, present, and future. Furthermore, the official novel "Horus Rising" uses the term Astral Realm to refer to the Warp.

　　Considering the readers, most of the subsequent expressions will be in Warhammer style, except for spirituality.
