Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 839 New Possibilities for Intergalactic Travel

The bridge of the Star, the flagship of the Fifth Battle Group and a relic-class warship.

Chapter Master San Diego Bergkamp held the data crystal in his left hand, infusing it with psionic energy to decipher the information it contained.

His obsidian eyes were unfocused, and he held a paintbrush in his right hand.

The paintbrush, with its body made of even numbers of black gold and its tip of cold stone, is constantly dipped in various spiritual essences.

The main lines are a deep blue color created by mixing Kraken blood with seawater and a light blue color created by mixing Sahadune blood.

The red color is a mixture of salamander blood and magma, with white accents made from raft spider blood and spider silk.

Guided by inspiration, the paintbrush outlines line after line.

As the lines gradually became clearer, sweat beaded on San Diego's forehead. Leading to the northern part of the Milky Way, the star map thousands of light-years ahead of the "Great Expedition" gradually became clear.

The star map was developed from partial to complete, ultimately outlining six galaxies.

After examining the recorded star chart, San Diego confirmed that it matched the information in the data crystal bestowed by the Black Emperor.

Then, he placed his right hand on the shimmering psionic crystal ball.

Experienced astrologer San Diego infused his spirituality into the crystal ball, sketching out a series of future destiny threads:
Under the dim light, fragments of the shattered world drifted like magnetic sheets, mixed with ship debris swept away by the torrent and withered corpses whose spirits had been emptied.

The star's light grew dimmer and dimmer until it exploded in a blinding flash, and the entire galaxy vanished in a thermal storm.

Astrologer San Diego narrowed his eyes, watching the galaxies go out one by one.

Interspersed within the vision of the future are glimpses of scenes resonating from the threads of fate in bygone years:
The ships leaped out of the shimmering ethereal portals and shuttled back and forth.

Lady Hera's tendrils are deeply rooted in the neurons of the Eldar and Orcs.

……

"Lady Hera abandoned her home in the Ghoul Starfield, which consisted of six star systems with no future."

After completing the divination, "astrologer" San Diego took out a data crystal and replicated it.

He quickly rose and went to the altar to pray to the Black Emperor.

Black mist appeared out of nowhere and engulfed San Diego.

Saint Diego appeared out of thin air in the Black Mist Kingdom, looked up at the Black Emperor who sat high on the throne, and held up the data crystal with both hands.

“My Lord, I have followed Your command and drawn up the world of Hlav’s homeland.”

With a wave of his hand, Ning Lu handed over the data crystal.

He infused it with psychic power and examined the information.

"Well done."

San Diego did not disappoint him, identifying his home world based on the information he found in the mind of the Heraf Origin.

He can now, like Ryan Eljonsson, head towards Hlav's home world.

Ninglu's gaze was deep as he pondered the situation of the Origin Space and the Heraf race.

He remembered that after Ryan led his fleet to the Ghoul Starfield, the Originators led a team to block them.

Ryan used the Extinction Legion to kill the Originator, causing the entire race that relied on him to die instantly.

However, he did not enter the deepest part of the original space, so the Heraf race was not truly wiped out.

In the 718th year of the 38th millennium, Herav launched a two-hundred-year war of plunder against the fortress world Colmag II in the Saraca Sector.

After the Starry Night Phantoms chapter broke through the siege, most of the life in that world became spiritual sustenance for Herav, nearly leading to its extinction, and it was eventually reclassified as a world of punishment.

Nine hundred years into the thirty-ninth millennium, the Orphic Sector's Rafi invited Herav, disguised as a space mercenary, to its location. Just as the entire planet was about to become food, vigilant members of the State Church discovered this and intervened beforehand.

Nimrod was able to determine, based on his memories, that there were at least several Heraf groups led by the Originators, and thus many Sequence 4 "Fallen Earl" potion ingredients.

At the same time, the primordial space, as a special dimension, is also a way to travel between galaxies.

Although humans are not a psionic race like Lady Hera, they cannot be directly utilized.

However, he can also rely on the spatial teleportation through the "Gate" pathway, the research into the mysteries of Lady Hera through the "Hermit" and "White Tower" pathways, and the astronomical and knowledge domain abilities of the "Perfect One" to gradually develop interstellar travel capabilities.

On the other hand, based on the analysis that the Hera people did not pose much of a threat in the future, and that humans had become their main target of plunder, the other ethnic groups were not large in scale.

The strongest team was the one that invaded M'Spel.

Since I was able to defeat the most powerful Herav Originator, and I have the strength to conquer the Origin Space, there's no reason not to give it a try.

After all, this was a new possibility for intergalactic travel. Ninglu made a decision after careful consideration.

"Your mission is to find the entrance to the Primal Space in the world of Heraf's homeworld."

[If found, this divination, where the prophecy dice are about to be fully charged, can be used for other divinations.]
“Follow Your will.” After San Diego Bergkamp bowed in agreement, Nimrod sent him back to the real world.

He then copied the star map from the data crystal to other worlds and distributed it to the participating warbands.

……

Origin Space.

Countless crystal spindles and stagnant pods gathered in patches of area.

The ships and pods of each region converge in one place, and the Originator sits firmly on the throne like a spider weaving a web.

Each group exists in dependence on him and follows his will completely.

Having lost the source of the tendrils, Muspel's consciousness spread, extending into a web of "spider webs."

As the consciousness link connected, he sensed the oldest originator, whose decaying and dying aura was becoming increasingly fragile, like a dried-up corpse.

"The ships of 'Shadow of Order' are assembling."

"He has found the home of our ruins in my mind."

The sound echoed throughout the entire primordial space, and every Lady Hera heard it.

“Although it has been abandoned…” an ancient and desolate voice rang out.

"But if there is one entrance, they will threaten the entire tribe."

“We must unite to deal with this crisis.” The Originator thought of the black-armored, golden-winged figure and the permanently lost tendrils.

He had intended to capture Primarch Nimrod in Mistpell, but Nimrod's extraordinary combat prowess and mental fortitude far exceeded his expectations, making him a Primarch he could not hunt alone.

The ancient Origin Being thought of the black-patterned blade, and how the damage it caused in the real world directly harmed itself.

“I agree that we must unite the strength of the entire community to deal with this crisis.”

As the "spider webs" rippled, the originators of Hraf reached a consensus.

Within the silent primordial space, the Herafs, whose tendrils had been hunting deep into the real world, retracted their tendrils.

They abandoned their centuries-long infiltration and hunting operations, and their consciousness and mind returned to their bodies.

The webs of nests of varying sizes swayed in unison, carrying Hlav as he awoke from his pod.
