Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 659 The First World of Punishment

899.M30.

Extreme Starfield, Loki Sector, Ryan System, the Savage World Blackwater Star.

The 11th Chapter successfully won the approval of the natives and incorporated them into the Legion before arriving at the orbit of Blackwater Star in the same star system.

The heavy landing craft flew out of the black ship and slowly landed.

Company Commander Kirkland recalled a magical experience from the past period.

In late 898, he arrived in the remote northwestern region of the Milky Way through the Caligum Gate.

In early 899, he, along with Commander Per Koscielny, Company Commander Gibbs, and Company Commander Chambers, became immortals on a night on Cradle of the Serpent III.

Kirkland felt the vibrant life force within him, as if his father's large hand were caressing him.

The scrolling Auger matrix scan results in the helmet visor jolted him from his reverie.

Kirkland quickly scanned the key information: Blackwater's gravity is 1.61 times that of Terra, 49.83% of its surface is composed of blackwater, and the remaining area is mainly covered by forests.

With a tremor under his feet, Kirkland led his honor guard down the deck.

As he walked, the magnetic combat boots adjusted themselves, allowing him to adapt to the higher gravity of this world.

He looked at Kerry, whose snakeskin was flowing, and bent down to touch the black earth.

Kerry's bronze skin was smooth, unlike its previous dryness.

The journey to the Cradle of the Serpent was like a dream; she received a gift from Lord Nimrod in the blue light, gaining eternal life.

eternal life.

In the myth of the Cradle of the Sea, only the gods are immortal.

Now she knows that it is not that gods are immortal, but that only gods can grant immortality to people.

She could only repay this gift by serving the gods.

After Kerry ordered several newly promoted "Harvest Priests" to investigate Ryan's situation, he volunteered to follow the Eleventh Warband to Blackwater Star, hoping to contribute his strength.

The "biologist's" intuition emanated from her fingertips. After carefully discerning the details for a dozen seconds, she stood up and spoke to Kirkland.

"The soil here may look the same as Ryan's fertile black soil, but it is actually quite different."

"In fact, quite the opposite, this place is not suitable for growing crops at all."

“This is not surprising,” Kirkland nodded. “My father said that this world should be classified as a barbaric world according to the Empire’s standards.”

The wild world is a harsh environment with scarce resources and no value for development.

“Then the forests that cover the planet seem very strange.” The “biologist” frowned slightly, walked up to a tree, and placed his hand on the massive trunk of the majestic tree.

"They look like black ironwood, but they aren't."

“Black ironwood is rich in iron and is one of the most precious tree species,” Kirkland said as he approached.

"If it were a world covered with black ironwood forests, it would be classified as the forestry world within the agricultural world."

"Although it is not black ironwood, it is rich in some kind of peculiar element..." the biologist carefully examined.

"This tree is rich in a special compound that is similar to heavy water, has a high density, and contains radioactive toxins."

Kerry recalled Lady Malena Scala's teachings and made a thoughtful deduction.

"Perhaps it's related to the black water here."

Kirkland nodded. Having recently been granted the title of "Corrupted Baron" by his father, he noticed that threads shimmering with iridescent light were emerging from the black tree.

[Radioactive, you know.]

This treacherous world, if it contains any living beings, will inevitably be affected.
When the "Corrupted Baron" drew conclusions through the lens of the lines of rules, his spiritual intuition was suddenly triggered.

"Alert!" He raised the incendiary snake cannon and aimed it at the dark forest.

The ground trembled, and a giant, its entire body pitch black, charged forward.

Kirkland's eyes flashed with surprise. The black giant was unusually tall, almost the same height as himself, who was wearing the Saturn-shaped Terminator suit.

Kirkland's size increased dramatically during his time as a "savage," growing a head and a half taller than before, and he was even wearing a Saturn-shaped Terminator suit, while this giant had a similar build to him.

The Honor Guard's bedrock-type bomb guns aimed at the Black Giant, unleashing a dense barrage of bullets amidst a dull, rapid roar.

Amidst the deafening roar, the black giants' flesh and blood splattered everywhere, yet they did not fall. They let out muffled roars, clasping their arms together to cover their faces. [Such thick flesh.]
As Kirkland pondered, he raised his arm, and the Explosive Serpent Cannon unleashed a torrent of molten metal that engulfed a black giant.

With a deafening roar, flames engulfed the black giant, and waves of heat energy spread out, igniting another giant.

[Father would be interested in these giants.]
Kirkland charged forward, raised his fist, and smashed it at the black giant at the front.

A strong gust of wind swept in, and the black giant instinctively swung his club down.

With a loud bang, the fist slammed into the big stick.

As the debris scattered, Kirkland's fingernail dented, and his arm went numb.

[Such immense power.]
As the "Corrupted Baron" pondered, he clenched his fist, his muscles bulging. He twisted his back and swung his arm, slamming his fist heavily into the black giant's chest.

boom!
The black giant was knocked down by a punch, his knees slamming into the black mud.

The spirit of the "Corrupted Baron" surged forth, and the fragments of the shattered black club rapidly reformed into ropes.

Black ropes were wrapped around the black giant, binding him tightly.

……

In the fourth level of the "Disordered Kingdom," amidst the black mist, Ninglu sits high on his throne.

The "Chaos Mentor" stared at the black giant entangled in black ropes and immediately confirmed that it was a potion ingredient for the "Guardian" pathway sequence 5 of the "Twilight Giant" technique. He then continued to listen to Per's report.

"After extracting black water samples, Kerry determined that they were high in density and rich in heavy metals, and therefore highly radioactive."

"This affected the environment of the entire world, including the land and trees, and caused the alien races that reproduced to be unusually tall and strong."

Ning Lu nodded slightly, thinking to himself.

[After humans colonize this place, they will likely also be affected by radioactive factors.]

Most people die or are deformed after birth, while a small percentage slowly undergo adaptive evolution, becoming taller and stronger.

This should be the reason why "Crimson Fist" will use Blackwater as its recruitment base in the future.
After Ninglu finished his calculations, he spoke to Per.

"Blackwater Star will serve as a world of punishment, where criminals who commit serious crimes in various territories will be exiled."

“Each battle group can recruit new soldiers from this place.”

Nimrod wouldn't colonize a treacherous world like Blackwater, but he could give serious criminals a chance at life.

As the number of territories and the population grow, it is inevitable that more and more criminals will emerge.

Nimrod felt it was time to establish the first world of punishment to punish their crimes.

“Capture the Black Giant and sacrifice him to me,” he commanded.

After receiving the order, the black mist churned and sent him back to the real world.

Ninglu immediately spread his spirituality, touching the orb of light of Thierry Vieira, the Knight Lord of the Eighth Warband.

With a thought, the message he wanted to convey appeared in his mind and, through a subtle connection, was transmitted to the sphere of light.

“You shall immediately select an object, identify the person or group to be protected, declare it in Dunn’s language, and remain committed to this duty for at least a year and a half.”

The promotion ceremony for "Guardian" was the same as he remembered, requiring only at least a year of faithful service, but Nimrod considered that he would be using the largest of the Black Giants.

To prevent failure to advance, the requirements were raised.

"Prepare a weapon that you used for a long time, and offer it to me as a sacrifice a year and a half later."

These are the auxiliary materials requested by the "Guardian," just as he remembered them, and they perfectly align with the meaning of protection.

Just as Nimrod was about to return to the real world to set up the next ritual for converting immortals, he suddenly heard prayers echoing in his ears.

He spread his spirituality, touching the ever-expanding sphere of light.

In the surreal scene, illuminated by the dim candlelight, Garan Sulak, the chief apothecary of the "War Dogs" legion, is tightly wrapped in a black robe.

He knelt on the altar, clasped his hands together, and spoke in Vostochny.

"My lord, the Emperor has found my genetic father, Angron, in Nukelia."

"The fleet has arrived in Nukelia, and the legion's high command will assemble to meet with Father."

“Angron, Nukelia, War Dog.” Ninglu’s eyes flashed as he pulled Garan into the “Land of Chaos.”
