Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 628 Tuchucha, even if you can teleport, you can't escape.
Sovereign Shadow, bridge.

At the holographic tactical table, Ning Lu scrutinized the holographic image of Planet Pertitus VI.

Arsène Dunn, holding a data panel, reviewed the reports compiled by his leaders, the "Knowledge Keepers," the "Inference Students," and the technical sergeants.

"My Lord, after summarizing and analyzing the Auger matrix and the ether readings across the entire region, five anomalous regions have been identified."

The genomicon takes in five highlighted areas of its eyes and also absorbs the scrolling information on the video screen into its brain.

"Prepare Stormbirds and proceed to Area C."

Ninglu recalled that the Tuchucha engine had been in a cave in the underground region, and combined with the ether readings, the area he had chosen was the most likely.

The black stormbird roared as it flew out of the Shadow of Reign, its eyes flashing with light as it spread across the ground.

Ninglu first identified a "deciphering scholar" and began tracking his target.

The "Chaos Mentor's" consciousness swept across, instantly revealing the formless body mimicking the Yard Suit.

After being promoted to "Chaos Mentor", his refined spirit gave him greater mental strength and consciousness than before.

After testing, Ninglu confirmed that he could now rival his pre-ascension state even without the blessing of the Staff of Osiris.

As the Stormbird rapidly pierced through the clouds, the Chaos Mentor, drawing ever closer to the ground, covered an ever-expanding area, drawing attention to a wider range of sights.

Okafor, a mind-controlling psychic, puts away the Staff of Osiris.

Immediately, having just been promoted to "wizard," he raised his hand and scattered invisible powder.

As the powder enveloped his body, the "wizard" vanished as if erased by an eraser.

The "Chaos Mentor" vanished from the "Wizard's" sight in an instant, and a thought flashed through his mind.

The scope of consciousness narrows, and the power of the mind sweeps away the fog like a brush.

He immediately grasped the "wizard's" movements and confirmed that three kilometers ahead in the direction he was heading, there was a shapeshifter dressed in brown.

The "Chaos Mentor" also noticed that a "person" holding a laser gun was suddenly frozen by spreading frost as he walked through the streets.

Frost spread rapidly upwards from the feet, freezing into ice.

From the shadows, the tall and slender "witch" swiftly emerged and hoisted the ice block.

……

Ninglu nodded in satisfaction as he watched the shapeshifters hidden among the crowd being discovered, killed, or captured.

Suddenly, his consciousness was stirred.

The "Chaos Mentor" felt as if there were invisible points of light that briefly made contact with his consciousness.

The contact was brief, seemingly there yet not there, like an illusion.

Ninglu knew it couldn't be an illusion; there were continuous underground tunnels and deep caves in that direction.

The consciousness of the "Chaos Mentor" converged, focusing on the deep cave.

Consciousness penetrated through layers of rock, reaching the center of the cave.

The "Chaos Mentor" immediately noticed a black and white marble sphere with a diameter of 10.6 meters suspended in the center of the cave.

Its surface is covered with slowly moving golden spots, like a rotating disc.

As it slowly rotated, the figures around it disappeared rapidly.

The Primarch keenly sensed that those figures were shapeshifters.

He also sensed the tidal fluctuations in the subspace.

As the waves surged, figures appeared rapidly, only to vanish from his perception range in an instant.

Ninglu immediately confirmed that it was the Tuchucha engine he was looking for.

While their appearances may be similar, the ability to teleport people into the subspace is unique to the Tuchucha engine on the Pertitus VI.

[The shapeshifter found the Tuchucha Engine and was toyed with, teleported away.]
The "Chaos Mentor" noticed that the Tuchucha engine's silver-white sphere suddenly lit up with dazzling spots. [Trying to run.] Ninglu's thoughts raced.

Nimrod did not anticipate that the Tuchucha engine would attempt to escape; it did not flee after being discovered during the Great Expedition.

The Tuchucha engine even collaborated with an oil enthusiast, spending thirty years establishing a neural connection with a seven- or eight-year-old boy servant.

During the grand birthday celebration, after encountering Ryan for the second time, he took the initiative to follow him.

[Did the collision of consciousness just now sense my powerful mind?] The "Chaos Mentor" had a thought, and his spirituality surged forth.

His consciousness was enveloped by a shapeshifter, and an invisible egg was projected into his mind in an instant.

The spirituality of the "chaotic mentor" is rapidly depleted, and the egg grows rapidly, forming a "gateway to the soul".

The "Chaos Mentor" was ethereal and vanished rapidly from the Stormbird.

With a loud bang, the black-armored, golden-winged giant suddenly appeared in the center of the cave.

The spirituality of the "Chaos Mentor" surged forth without reservation, and the rising golden spots instantly became chaotic.

A shapeshifter suddenly flew out of the sea of ​​souls and crashed into the cave ceiling.

Another shapeshifter, which was farther away and had not been included in the teleportation range before, vanished from its original spot in a flash and reappeared in a city thousands of miles away.

Amidst the "chaotic" scene, Ning Lu clearly felt as if something within his body was melting, and his mind and spirit became purer.

The discomfort of spiritual depletion vanished instantly.

Black mist flickered in his eyes, and Ning Lu felt with certainty that the "Land of Chaos" had opened a new layer—the ninth layer of space.

At the same time, the "Chaos Mentor" took a step and arrived in front of the Tuchucha Engine, where the teleportation had been interrupted.

In his vision, the Tuchucha engine was overflowing with spiritual radiance.

The black and white sphere trembled, and the golden light spots shook erratically.

The power of travel surged within the "chaotic" area locked by spirituality, and the black and white spheres constantly shifted between reality and illusion.

With a thought, Ning Lu enveloped his right hand in a faint black mist.

Ning Lu reached out and grabbed the black and white sphere, feeling it as if it were a fireball.

With a thought, the sphere, 10.6 meters in diameter, suddenly disappeared.

Ning Lu sensed that there were now black and white spheres in the third layer of space.

As the black mist churned, the surging golden spots calmed down and disappeared.

[Tuchucha, even if you can teleport, you still can't escape.]
Ninglu sensed that within the third layer of space, the agitation of the Tuchucha engine gradually subsided. After confirming that a "connection" could be established without resorting to coercive measures, he recalled the entire process of obtaining the Tuchucha engine.

[If I hadn't advanced to "Chaos Mentor," mastering the "Gateway to the Mind" and "Chaos," you might have actually gotten away.]
He recalled the distinct feeling he had just experienced.

[The Tuchucha engine is quite powerful; the feedback I received regarding the "chaos" I created showed clear signs that the "chaos mentor" was digesting it.]
Ninglu quickly determined his progress by combining his previous experience in digesting sequences.

[Including the previous roles, the current digestion progress is about one-third.]

Based on previous experience, the ninth layer of space will be opened when one-third of the digestion is completed, the tenth layer will be opened when two-thirds of the digestion is completed, and the eleventh layer will be opened when the digestion is complete.

As expected, Sequence 6 opens up three layers of space, while Sequence 5 opens up four layers.
Ninglu turned around as he pondered, and saw a shapeshifter lunging forward, but its body was rapidly retreating.

The other body leaned back, but suddenly sprang up.

……

The spirituality of the area constructed by the "Chaos Mentor" has not yet dissipated, and the shapeshifters are completely engulfed in "chaos".

The "Mentor of Chaos" infused the Hand of Order with spirituality, and amber pieces were rapidly formed.

The psychic powers of the Primarch spread out, engulfing the shapeshifter and sending it into the first layer of the "Land of Chaos".

Immediately, Ning Lu had a thought and headed to the newly opened ninth level of space.
