Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 614 Promotion to "Chaos Mentor" (Published in advance, 2900+ words, please vote with monthly tickets)
Gulu.

The pitch-black potion entered my mouth, first burning like black rastford, then turning sour and foul like Hrud's melting corpse...

The indistinguishable, chaotic smell made Ninglu feel nauseous and want to vomit.

The potion writhed rapidly, and the chaotic green spots and red light churned and fell into the stomach in an instant.

The floating glass shards suddenly rose up like willow catkins.

They suddenly came together, then suddenly dispersed.

It tumbled and rolled erratically, a chaotic mess that was hard to discern.

The blood mist intertwined with the purple silk, sometimes gathering into ribbons, and sometimes scattering into blood-red threads.

The golden staircase decayed rapidly, wrinkling into thin flakes.

Gold-plated coating, bubbles peeling off.

Insects burrowed into every part of Ninglu's body.

His spine creaked, and his vision was shrouded in mist.

Sticky tentacles surged in my mind, lashing against the swarms of worms and the piercing stingers.

The explosions were deafening, leaving his brain numb and his thoughts blank.

Immediately, a chaotic cacophony of "Terra" filled the air.

In his mind, tentacles, worms, and stingers crisscrossed each other, yet strangely, they did not collide.

The firelight reflected in his dark eyes blended with the red spots, and the tremors in his spine subsided as the green veins rippled.

The lines of rules twisted, and black mist surged.

[I can actively manipulate the black mist, infiltrating reality and truly leveraging the power of the "Disordered Nation."]
Ninglu was filled with joy. He sketched in his mind disordered black arcs, followed by wings, spikes, and an abstract crown above.

As he withdrew the overflowing power of the potion, the chaotic, intertwined shards of glass crashed to the ground.

The gilded throne was scattered, and dust covered the ground.

The newly appointed "Chaos Mentor" begins to organize the knowledge gained from potions.

He gained a total of eleven new extraordinary abilities.

First, there were changes in his body. His physique improved, and he gained the ability to stretch and extend beyond what he remembered.

His range of expansion and contraction is not as great as that of the maggot man; he can flatten his body to a quarter of its original size and stretch it to twice its original size.

Secondly, there was one of the signature abilities of the "Chaotic Mentor" in his memory—"majesty".

The "Chaos Mentor" will cause the surrounding beings to unconsciously lower their stance and want to submit.

Compared to the subtle and gradual "corruption," the effect of "authority" is much faster.

Another signature skill is "Confusion," which causes confusion in a certain area or spiritually locked target.

It's harder for attacks to land on you, and the enemy is more likely to make the wrong choice.

The self-completion of the source substance endowed him with three abilities.

One of them is "ambition." His burning ambition makes him physically stronger, more perceptive, and more spiritually rich.

His ambition never dries up; he needs no rest.

Unless he wants to sleep, no one can make him unconscious, and no one can make him fall into a dream.

What surprised him most was that even when people tried to divine or spy on him, their "ambition" would interfere and distort their understanding.

Is this a qualitative change in "burial"?
Originating from Schloss?
The effectiveness of this ability depends on one's own "ambition".

I want to control my own destiny; this is just a small "ambition."

But in order to take control of my own destiny and sit at the card table, I must embrace the source matter and become the past.

Hmm... is my "ambition" big or small?
The second is the "Word of Order," which declares the target guilty and specifies the crime, after which the target will be punished accordingly.

The deeper the target's violation of order, the more serious the crime committed, and the greater the harm suffered.

It can even directly eliminate the target.

Thirdly, there is the term "black box," which has two uses.

One method requires time and involves creating a black box.

One party to a transaction, or one ...

The higher the price you pay, the easier it is to succeed.

The higher the value of the object being exchanged, the greater the likelihood of failure.

[This applies to powerful objects, giving me a chance to obtain things that would otherwise be difficult to get.]
Another approach is to create a peaceful environment directly during combat by forcing the enemy to fulfill their demands by giving them valuable items.

However, you cannot harm the other party or affect their state, otherwise the target will regain consciousness.

[This is equivalent to paying a price to forcibly escape danger.]
The remaining five abilities were ones that Nimrod had never known before; they were new abilities granted to him by the potion ingredients.

The first is the "Soul-Devouring Egg," which uses mental projection to send a nest of invisible eggs into the target's brain.

The egg absorbs the host's spirit, from the intangible to the tangible, from the small to the large, until it devours the entire brain.

This ability clearly comes from Devouring Spirit Peak.

Throughout the process, the host's mind is "confused" and they are unaware of the existence of the parasitic egg in their brain.

This also reflects the "chaos".
The second is the "Gateway to the Mind," the object in which the "Soul-Devouring Egg" resides, which can serve as a portal to the mind.

The "Chaos Mentor's" body is temporarily purely spiritual, traversing the realm of the mind, leaping out from the host's body.

After a moment of thought, Ninglu realized that this ability came from the enslavers and the Soul Devouring Peak.

Mind portals are the power of the enslavers, but they can only be realized by relying on parasitic eggs.

Similar to the "dream walker" in "The Dreamer," leaping through dreams. And like the legendary judge of the future, Guidin Ravel, traversing the human mind.

It's like a demon parasitizing the human spirit, but I can't continue. Perhaps my body hasn't undergone a fundamental change yet, and I need to advance to a higher sequence.
The third is "entropy energy," which obviously comes from the Hrud people in the potion ingredients.

The emitted entropy energy field causes the target to randomly suffer chaotic effects such as rapid aging, rusting of armor, and corrosion of items.

[Entropy energy can also be considered a special kind of "chaos".]
Fourth, willpower is greatly enhanced, the mind cannot be controlled, and "willpower pressure" can be actively released.

This ability clearly comes from Shloth.

I'm now considered a nemesis of psionicists.

While it's unlikely they could overpower Old Man Huang, Magnus and Macado, who hadn't ascended to demonhood, along with the vast majority of Tzeentch's archdemons, should be able to.

"The pressure of will" is a special kind of "majesty." This "majesty" acts on the spirits of those around them, while "the pressure of will" is applied to the sea of ​​the soul.
Fifth, one's spirit becomes purer and one's spiritual strength greatly increases.

Ninglu has already felt a significant increase in the energy he can draw from the subspace.

If it used to be a water pipe, now it's a water pump.

After pondering, Nimrod concluded that the purity of spirit originated from the slavers, because the slavers were originally pure spiritual beings.

The surge in spiritual power comes from the powerful spiritual energy of the Soul Devouring Peak and the Enslavers.

In addition to the eleven new abilities gained, the abilities previously possessed have also been enhanced to varying degrees.

The "Twisting" of the "Corrupted Baron" undergoes a qualitative change, extending from the enhanced ability of the target's language, actions, and intentions to the concept of distorting both himself and the target.

The attack "distorts" itself, causing both sides to share the damage, curses, diseases, etc. equally.

The aftershocks of the "howl" were mixed with a noisy buzzing sound, and tentacles lashed at the target, continuously causing damage.

The "Multi-Prism" can not only be used for defense, but also, through the prism-shaped spiritual structure it creates, continuously refract and amplify the physical and magical attacks it launches within its coverage area, until the spiritual structure exceeds its tolerance and the prism collapses.

Other abilities, in terms of range and power, have been improved to varying degrees, but no qualitative change has occurred.

Ning Lu was organizing his abilities to advance to the level of "Chaos Mentor".

Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from the communication bead in my ear.

He pressed the communication bead, and then Alsena Dunn's voice rang out.

"My lord, the communication channels we are using are sometimes filled with static noise and sometimes with hissing noise."

"The technical sergeant picked up a broadcast from a southern city; the sound was faint but clearly audible."

sizzle...

Suddenly, static appeared on the communication channel.

Ning Lu frowned slightly. In the chaos he had orchestrated, he had paralyzed Terra's communications.

However, the Son of Vostonia's sound array system remained operational, and its dedicated communication channel broke the silence after the chaos began, ensuring real-time communication.

Communication should not be abnormal.

Unless... the problem isn't with the sonic array device, but with interference from supernatural forces.

As Ninglu pondered, the dry, scorching desert wind began to blow.

"Sams means end and death."

“Sams, that’s the only name you’ve ever heard.”

"Samus is here, Samus is everywhere, Samus is the name that is always by your side."

The sound faded, and the communication channel fell silent.

[It really is you, Great Demon Samus.]
Nimrod knew that Samus had followers in the area and that there was a temple to him in the Whispering Mountains of the Southern Hemisphere.

He recalled that after the Shadowmoon Wolf defeated the local main force, the remaining resistance forces retreated to the Whispering Mountains.

Gavial Locken, who had just become a member of the Council of Four Kings, volunteered to go to the Whispering Mountains to wipe out the remaining enemy forces.

But the Whispering Mountains, the veil separating reality from the warp, was thin, and Samus briefly possessed Sergeant Zafuye Jube of the Poison Rose Tactical Squad.

"Zhu Bo" killed several of his teammates and was eventually banished by Loken.

During the “Solar Wars,” the chronicler Messetti Oriton inadvertently released him on the Mountain Array.

Samus and his demon army wreaked havoc on the mountain stronghold, and Dorn was unable to repel them, nearly triggering the self-destruct sequence of the Mountain Stronghold.

If Oriton hadn't committed suicide, closing the portal she had inadvertently created and banishing the demon, Dorn would have been forced to destroy his Mountain Array.

Although Samus was exiled, the Mountain Array was severely damaged.

Dorne's plan to thwart the traitor fleet's advance from the Mars and Moon subspace tunnels failed before it even began.

Samus is among the top demons, both in terms of personal combat strength and the demons under his command.

“I will go and handle it,” Ning Lu said, hanging up the communication, flapping his wings and taking off.

The "Chaos Mentor" decided to personally banish the powerful demon Samus.

　P.S.: I've been urged to get promoted many times, so I'll post this early. It's still 3,000 words, so asking for monthly votes isn't too much to ask, right?

　　Previously, many people asked about the "broker" approach. I don't plan to write about the Outer God approach, but the "broker" approach can be included.

　　The reason, as mentioned in the text, is that the source material has a self-completion function.

　　The "Chaos Mentor" encompasses the abilities of Sequence 7 "Prosecutor", Sequence 6 "Ambitious", and Sequence 5 "Black Box".

　　However, there are some differences, which can be seen as evolution.

　　In addition, the abilities of Sequence 8 "Shadow Merchant" will evolve and manifest in Sequence 4 "Fallen Earl".

　　The reason for the title "Fallen Earl" will become clear when the description of potion ingredients is written later.

　　The Sequence 9 "Broker" hasn't been decided yet; it will probably be evolved and added during Sequence 3.
