Warhammer III

Based on the distribution of these corpses and the memory of a criminal, Taiyue and Jerome determined that the location of the assassin's activities was near the scrap accumulation area of ​​​​the lower nest.

After the two put on camouflage clothes, they headed towards their destination, killing Chaos believers they met along the way, hoping that this would attract the attention of the assassins and purify the Empire of Chaos enemies.

The road leading to the lower nest was dark and damp, and from time to time the screams of victims could be heard. As long as it was not a chaotic corruption activity, the two of them could not care less about these crimes.

"Is Grand Master Karen related to the Night Lords?"

Taiyue asked suddenly, and he couldn't help but wonder why Nymeria was obsessed with destroying the Night Lords' Chaos Space Marines.

Jerome's fused soul fragments knew some inside stories, and he introduced the situation of Grand Master Karen to Taiyue:

Grand Master Karen is one of the founding members of the Gray Knights Chapter. He is the first Grand Master of the Silver Blade, the eighth brotherhood of Gray Knights.

He was the chief librarian of the Eighth Legion's Night Lords, Zarost, during the Great Crusade, and was himself a warrior of Terran descent, rather than from the Primarch's homeworld of Nostramo.

After the Council of Nicaea, the Emperor issued a verdict on the use of psionics, banning the use of psionics by the Astartes and canceling the establishment of the Think Tank.

The Captain of the First Company of the Night Lords, the Black Guard who protected the Primarch, and known as the 'Prince of Crows', Sevita exiled Zarost after this.

"You murdered the Legion with cruelty and abuse!"

Zarost had no memory of the Legion. He saw that the return of the Primarch and the addition of non-Terran recruits had corrupted the Legion into criminals who unleashed terror.

During the Horus Heresy, Zaroost returned to his birthplace, Holy Terra, and to the watery dungeon where he had been imprisoned as a descendant of a criminal more than a century ago.

An unidentified psyker found Zarost next to the water prison. When Zarost used his psychic powers to show his loyalty, he obtained the prophecy of the Midnight Lords' rebellion. He thought he was going to be punished and die here, so he chose Putting down his weapons and no longer resisting, he muttered:

"If you want to be wise, understand why brother betrays brother!"

This psyker was sent by Markbearer Malcador. He did not intend to kill Zarost. He brought Zarost to the Emperor, and with him came seven other people who would also become Grays. The psyker of the Grand Master of Knights.

Malcador gave Zarost a chance to redeem himself and lead the Eighth Brotherhood of Gray Knights against the enemies of Chaos.

Since the formation of the Gray Knights Chapter, Zarost has been secretly killing Chaos Space Marines and Daemons, redeeming himself and offering his loyalty to the Emperor.

The name Karen was also changed after he joined the Gray Knights, in order to break with the former Legion and draw a clear line with the traitorous original body and brothers.

After Zarost's death, he was buried in the tomb of Titan's Death Place. At the end of the tomb is his tomb.

Tai Yue suddenly realized at this moment that Grand Master Karen had made a psychic dagger from the fragments of the weapon that killed the traitorous original body Coze. Maybe it was his prophecy ability that saw what was happening now.

"Even the first-generation Grand Master of the Gray Knights would not be able to make such a powerful psychic dagger. The prophecy ability of the 'Burial Dagger' is probably due to being bound to a demon or harboring a powerful soul fragment."

Jerome couldn't help but become confused when he said this. He shook his head and moved on.

Soon after, the two of them smelled the stench coming from the waste accumulation area. The smell became stronger the further down they went, and the activity of the nest creatures hiding in the dark corners became more and more frequent, and from time to time they could hear people chewing on corpses. the sound of.

After arriving at the scrap dump area, Jerome once again used his psychic powers to explore Nymeria's location, but found nothing.

"She may be out hunting Chaos enemies, we are here"

Before Taiyue finished speaking, Nymeria's petite figure appeared behind him. She put away the psychic dagger with her left hand and held the head of the traitorous original body against her chest with her right hand.

At the same time, in order to prevent the crown of night from falling off, she directly put the crown of night on her head, like a queen of the night.

"This psychic dagger cannot destroy the head of the traitorous Primarch!"

Nymeria looked at Tai Yue and said, her words trembling for the first time. The originally extremely sharp Burial Dagger could not even leave traces on the head and face.

"This head has become a container of subspace energy. Let me destroy it!"

Taiyue took the head of the traitorous original body, and the spiritual flames from the emperor instantly covered the head.

In the Palace of Carrion, the Night Lords were discussing countermeasures. They had been planning for a long time, and their plan for the rebirth of the original gene could not be interrupted.

"Still no trace of the assassin!"

Decimus roared angrily. The scars left by the escaped Phoenix Lord Jaenzar on his face were more obvious and a bit more ferocious.

Behind him are the heads of many punished puppet soldiers. Neither his psychic prophecy nor the puppet soldiers all over the planet can find the assassin's location!

"Will the false emperor's lackeys destroy the head of the genetic father?!"

Zuo Sahar's interview was solemn, and the legion's token, the Crown of Night, which he had worked so hard to obtain, was lost again.

"That head has long since lost its breath of life. If it is just a medium for resurrecting the midnight wandering soul, destroying it might be able to release the essence of subspace."

Pharmacist Valier was skinning a puppet soldier, admiring his fear, and said his thoughts as if nothing had happened.

Zosahar pondered for a moment. He knew that Valir's statement was correct. The head of the original body was just a medium for its subspace essence to sense its surroundings. The endless crimes and fearful righteous punishments on this planet had awakened the genetic origin. body soul.

"No matter what they do, they can only rely on the power of the devil now!"

His eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, preparing to summon demons to this planet before the tide of space disappeared, and use the power of demons to find the father of genes.

Zuo Sahar did not deny it. He reminded loudly:

"You can use the power of subspace demons, but don't become slaves of demons! Otherwise, the reborn original body will not recognize us."

Suddenly a psionic scream echoed throughout the planet, and psionic apparitions appeared in the minds of the Night Lords Chaos Space Marines, apparently working through their gene-seeds.

"Psychic attack!"

Apothecary Valirr was not affected. His gene-seed itself was not from the Night Lords Legion. As a former Apothecary of the Red Corsairs, he found that his gene-seed was more likely to come from the Ultramarines Chapter.

The faces of Taiyue, Jerome and Nymeria in the lower nest changed. Endless blood and bat shadows enveloped the entire nest, bringing a sense of oppression that only the Chaos Evil God and Great Demon can have!
