Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 644 Losing the Spear of Dionysus might not be such a bad thing.

"The Disordered Kingdom", the seventh layer of space.

Ninglu was shrouded in black mist. The "Chaos Mentor" attempted to activate his spiritual vision, but his spiritual intuition did not stop him.

The "Chaos Mentor" immediately saw a long, silvery-white snake moving within the tightly connected golden stone rings.

The black mist tightly enveloped it, and layers of lines of rules wrapped around it, squeezing each stone and making a piercing sound.

As the chosen one of the "disorderly nation," Ninglu clearly knew that the "disorderly nation" naturally rejected and instinctively tried to "purify" it.

The swimming, circular, silvery-white snake suddenly stopped.

It bit the head at the tail, suddenly raised it, and stared coldly at Ninglu with its scarlet eyes.

The "Chaos Mentor" felt a chill run down his spine, and his thoughts froze in an instant.

As black mist rose from his eyes, which were deeper than obsidian, his thoughts returned to normal.

The "Chaos Mentor" gazed at the perfectly integrated divine stone and the silvery-white serpent that had resumed its undisturbed movement, pondering how to resolve the mental imprint without damaging the potion's ingredients.

The "Disordered Kingdom" has functions such as "corruption" and imprisonment, but it does not have functions such as stripping. As things stand, it will destroy the invading forces along with the magic potion materials.

Ninglu immediately had a thought and tightly wrapped the golden stone ring, causing the "rope" made of lines of rules to loosen instantly.

His mind started racing, searching for a solution.

Nimrod's first thought was the uniqueness of the "Red Priest" pathway; there was no doubt that the colorless flames released could incinerate the ancient deity who resembled Ouroboros.

The superior authority of the Flame Authority is the Destruction Authority, which may very well destroy the entire God-given Stone at the same time.

I cannot precisely control uniqueness to avoid this situation, so my "suicidal" risk-taking this time would be meaningless.
Ninglu immediately thought of the extraordinary beings of the "Sun" pathway, the "notarized" "divine light," which might be able to purify something like the undead, but with a fundamentally different spiritual imprint.

The spiritual imprint within is only a part of Ouroboros, and it is difficult to purify.

His status is far higher than that of Slaanesh, the great demon who dwells in the cradle of serpents.

Even if successful, this purification would be too direct and brutal, still potentially causing harm. Ouroboros's connection to the divine stone is still too strong.
Ninglu finally thought of Tierney, the "fire thief," who had had no room to make a difference since his promotion.

"Theft" includes the spiritual pollution within extraordinary items.

Although Ouroboros possesses a similar "rebooting" ability, and its rank is at least equivalent to Sequence 1, or even Sequence 0, its condition is very poor.

Furthermore, I can weaken Him further, allowing Tierney to "steal" the fragments.
Ning Lu had a sudden thought when he thought of this.

The black mist surged and billowed, and streaks of black, rule-like energy shot toward the golden ring.

Their thin spider silk was tangled together on one of the stones.

As Ning Lu's eyes flickered, the spiderweb-like threads all twitched in unison.

Amidst a piercing tearing sound, the silvery-white snake suddenly released its tongue, letting out an angry hiss.

The torn, separated golden divine stone, along with its attachments, became blurred, seemingly about to return to its previous state.

The seventh level of the "Disordered Kingdom" rumbled, and amidst the churning black mist, the illusory golden stones suddenly ceased to appear.

With a long, painful scream, the stone was torn apart, and ten drops of mercury-silver blood splattered down.

The silver-white body that the "Chaos Mentor" had been watching so intently seemed to have been sliced ​​off by a single blade.

The two severed parts trembled violently, as if they were alive, searching for the missing piece.

A few seconds later, the two silvery ends drooped weakly, came together, and reconnected.

At the same time, the broken gold stones, as if attracted by a magnetic force, gathered together and formed a ring with a diameter of nine and a half meters.

With a thought, Ning Lu slightly raised his hand, and ten drops of blood, as white as mercury, flew to his face.

The "Chaos Mentor" stared for a long time, a smirk playing on his lips.

[A material of a higher level than Omega blood. This is the biggest gain from my "suicidal" act—an unexpected bonus.]
As Ninglu rejoiced, ten pure crystal bottles vanished from the palace on the first floor of the "Land of Chaos" and appeared beside him.

Ten drops of mercury-infused blood flew into it.

The blood was poured into the bottle and began to roll around.

Ning Lu stared for a moment and discovered that the trajectory of all the blood rolling was circular.

Some are on the flat bottom of the bottle, some along the mid-air plane, and some on one side of the bottle wall...

After examining it for a moment, Ninglu turned his gaze to the golden stone sphere. At the same time, the ten crystal bottles disappeared into thin air and appeared in a separate, empty palace.

The golden stone flew to him, and he raised his right hand to grasp the half-illusory, half-solid crystal particles attached to it.

Ning Lu exerted a little force, and the divine blessing crystal powder fell off and clumped together.

He sent it to the palace in the first level of space, and then took the Divine Blessing Stone to the fourth level of space.

The "Chaos Mentor" ascended the throne, gazing at the rice-grain-sized silver-white scales rolling within the Divine Blessing Stone in his palm.

The dense patterns and symbols coalesce into a rotating wheel.

Although it is only a small part of Ouroboros, it still contains great power.

If crafted into a talisman, its power would far surpass that of the Worm Talisman, and even be somewhat stronger than the Silence Talisman.
Ninglu pondered for a moment, and based on his previous experience in making talismans, combined with the "fire thief's" ability to "steal," he devised the entire process.

He immediately spread his spirituality, touching Tierney's sphere of light.

After confirming that no one was around him, he flipped his hand, and a Silence Charm and two even-numbered pieces of black gold appeared around him.

Ninglu did not recite the incantation to activate it, but instead attached it to the stone ball.

The "Chaos Mentor" raised his hand, and a piece of even-numbered black gold flew over, his fingertips overflowing with spirituality.

The metal rapidly disintegrated, transforming into strands of black thread that, like ropes, wrapped the green teardrop-shaped runes around the golden stone sphere.

The spinning silver scales fell silent and stopped spinning.

Ninglu immediately gave the instruction to "steal" and the method to make the talisman in his mind.

With a thought, he threw his mind, along with the Divine Blessing Stone wrapped in the Silence Charm and the even number of black gold materials used to make the charm, into the sphere of light.

Ninglu watched as the black mist churned and enveloped Tierney.

Two objects appeared out of thin air in front of him, and he listened to something.

As the black mist disappeared, he reached out his hands, caught the item, and spoke at the same time.

"Follow Your divine decree."

Ninglu stood up, took a step forward, and the Hand of Order and other equipment returned to his body.

The Witch King's Chain was wrapped around the little finger of his right hand, and the speed of spiritual recovery suddenly increased.

The next day, Ninglu extended his consciousness to the surroundings and immediately discovered that the Spear of Dionysus was not around. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

[Well, this is the first time that the Spear of Dionysus did not return the next day after it had moved away from me.]

Is Ouroboros that strong?

Did He retain the spear of Dionysus forever, or merely temporarily block it?
Ninglu leaned back on the throne, pondered silently for a few seconds, and then smiled smugly.

Did I fail to get it for free?

Even if we temporarily lose the Spear of Dionysus, it might not be such a bad thing.

We can come back to collect it later. After advancing to Sequence 4 and undergoing a qualitative change, I should then have the ability to deal with Ouroboros.
