Chapter 11: Demiurge's Domain
Every chance he got he would go transport from his ship and go back to his personal shield world in the void of the Imperial Nebula, it was cut off from the warp, the webway and surrounded by an insane amount of protection. This group of fifty worlds that were made of metal but had mountains, trees and seas to make is seem as they are normal worlds. It is called the void because it is the only area the light from the Astronomicon cannot be seen reflected from the remade webway the Emperor created so long ago, that laid the foundation of which the Nebula is built allowing it to suspend many laws of physics as it seeps into reality. The golden webway along is enough to keep any warpspawn out but the things hidden in these shield worlds are so powerful or destructive that if even one word got out of what was happening in this system it would destroy the delicate balance of power between races in the Imperium. The recent addition along of a Tyranid Hive Queen would cause enough panic for most to abandon the most beautiful and peaceful place in the Galaxy.
Demiurge missed his floor in the Tomb of Nazarick but it had been sealed and those who had made their decision to stay and he had made his to follow his master. The great world tree now borrowed its way through the tomb depositing the souls in the one floor that is still being used named "Paradise" it gathered the souls through the Emperor who's branches have encased the Emperor's body which transfers the worthy souls to the tree that stores the consciousness of the people and projects them to the 6th floor. He had no desire to become a glorified maid but he a lot missed his floor, his pens and experiments, even though he was rarely successful a that time. It was a floor created just from him by his creator. In comparison though his new domain was a demons playground and the new technology, knowledge and recently acquired assistant made him enjoy this place almost as much, if it were made by Lord Ulbert then it would have been perfect.
His new assistant was a Homunculi that he had came across in the webway during the siege of a dark eldar city, he planned on killing the inhabitant but when he came across his lab and what he had done and the exquisite suffering he had inflicted he told the creature to come out of hiding he would spare him. So after Silithus came out of a hidden room and showed him his creations, one that had impressed Demiurge greatly was a creation the "Flesh Sculptor" as he later called himself was a flesh blossom. He explained how he had to cull the DNA from several hundreds of species put the pink flowers were made from sentient flesh. When picked they screamed and bled, he then stomped on the pedal that shrieked the shot a dark red blood under his foot. The blossoms were once a enemy that was fully conscious and aware of what had been done to them by a psychically linked interface from their brains that were preserved in jars in another specimen room, he acted as the node as he brain was also connected and could control his experiments and creations with his thought. His robe has a psychic hood amplifier that had tubes in wires that were implanted into his brain allowing him to make sure all his creations were in order.
Accompanied by Slethus he walked down the corridor lined with every type of creature suspended in amniotic fluids, there were all the most powerful specimens on Terra. All the different types of xenos species that they had come across in the crusade including all the different types of Tyranids, the pride of his collection were: dragons,
warpspawn and God-kin of incredible power and a precious few what word was now banned and forgotten over time "Players" to mutter the word was immediate execution or worse, this along with the Knowledge of the 41, Yggdrasil, the advent and all Pre-Imperial history was purged and written off a superstition, due to the informational grid of power sources used during the end of the Dragonic wars used to locate dragons in hiding. It was placed on separate platforms on the artificial ring around terra. Although the dragons that had not submitted had been mostly wiped out by the D-1 virus that killed all dragons over a certain bloodline concentration, the frost dragons and few Dragon clans and lords that submitted were given an antidote through nanomachines that were unwittingly ingested. The most powerful dragon lords escaped the purge by burrowing themselves deep into the earth and sleeping awaiting a time to return.
The orbital scanners find their positions and were blown into oblivion as their is nothing more dangerous than entering a dragon's lair.
Using the energy signature of the NPC's and Ainz the orbital scanners looked for the addition of any more "Players" to this world. Although due to the cataclysmic nature of the creation of these beings The Head of the forge and fellow Player was sure that he and his NPC's were the last ones. The Archmagos through his calculations that the recreation of individuals through the warpstorm that uploaded their data from the nano-machines implanted in the subjects brain. Then reconstructing them on Terra would occur around every fifty years due to the usual flow of the warp through Terra, the speed and peculiarity or the warp streams that converged on the world that was the only of its kind in the Galaxy as well as the unusual flow of time that took place in the ether. He was able to calculate the exact date plus or minus 12 hours the last advent would take place.
When the day arrive four signature appeared in the Southern desert, the four people had not idea what happened as a quick reaction squad was release headed by Ainz, they arrived within a few seconds, Ainz cast [Stop Time] and [Paralysis V] a spell he avoided because it took a large amount of mana because it was a area effect spell as well as spell that would Temportally Impoblize any level character but only for 10 seconds if they were level 100 and had items to protect them from the spell which was was one of the most carried items as it was such a deadly spell. Although it was not long Demiurge went to work using a potion that was neither a sleep nor knockout potion that would be counteracted by racial abilities or levels, it was a compound that put the person into a comatose state while slowly healing them thus confusing their abilities as it showed up as a healing potion status. Quickly they were moved to a facility to keep them unconscious has their items taken which were not of much help and held for later testing, thus here they were four powerful creatures. One a Human warrior which help provide base DNA for the Primarchs and the Space Marines which was also mixed with the Lord Emperor's DNA to keep their moral status, regenerative properties, loyalty, along with different isolated traits for each Primarch and his Legion. This body microcell cloned into Primarch Martellus, a microcell clone was a way to exchange the cloned cells one at a time in a living body instead of creating an entire body at once. The Primarch Procedure (what they latter called it) was a success but could never be used again as it was to much strain on the subject, only a few being could endure it.
The second was the race [Vampire Angel] which was used to make Sanguinius along with all off the regenerative drugs were derived from this DNA, the credit was officially giver to the haemovore but they are an undead and their longevity was directly tied to the undead gene, anything attached to this gene was completely taken over. The fact that Vampires were an undead species was not known outside the Senatorium and the High Lord of Terra and the Emperor of course.
The third specimen was a disappointment, a low level [Dark Elf] that the discussion of disposing of the creature was debated but turned down as the Emperor argued that the DNA structure of a Terran and a warpspawn was different and God-Kin could be clone with a higher success of having higher levels, that introducing this God gene into the Elf population would help collectively raise the levels of the species without making it to high. Everyone agreed that it would benefit Nazarick to have this power to serve them, they have harvested countless cells from the specimen but havent found a successful way to introduce the gene into the population without terrible consequences that ranged from amnesia on the calm side to turning a household into large hulking monsters. With the help of Silithus a they were going to vaccinate all Elves from a fictitious disease to inject them with the Gene therapy to cause their children to activated the Yggdrasil gene.
`The fourth specimen made him smile, he could have not asked for a better specimen if he wanted, at the time its active and passive abilities made excellent additions to the progenoid gland but as the foes of the Imperium in his masters "Box of Jewels" took shape he had the perfect weapon. In the cylinder was none other than a "Orc War King" one of the least played characters in yggdrasil due to the fact that Orcs were the lowest spawned demi-human monster the only one under them were goblins and then slimes. The racial advantage is that an Orc King could call his allies help him which were there were always dozens if on hundreds around, they have a high healing ability much like a troll, they were very strong, most characters who could summon many minions like necromancers were not proficient in combat and were better a magic. Not a Orc King they excelled in hand to hand combat and were considered tanks of a group, they could summon their followers then lead them into battle with high defense and high health, and try up the enemy while healers, magicians and thieves were free to do what they wish. Despite all these advantages not many played them as it was looked down upon, one of their biggest setbacks ais that they had no magic ability, it was also hard to level up unless you were in a group had human players would surround an kill a solo player when seen as they were often mistaken for a regular Orc.
Beyond the Orc King there were countless tubes with fully cloned Ork Kings and as they went town to the end of the level they became less and less developed as they were not as far along the process. They all had an organic implant that has a mechadendrite that was implanted in the back of their skull implanting memories, personalities, and most of all a secret and unflinching loyalty to the Imperium and the Emperor.
"Slethus have all the specimen containers loaded onto the Carrion Void ship, then put into drop pods, as per instruction, then get ready to Embark via the webway for the Pacificus Segmentium at the edge of greenskin space." Demiurge ordered.
"My Lord will you be joining us?" The Homunculi asked.
"Yes, soon I have to go back to main fleet before I am missed, I have crucial data to gather on the Orc's, breeding rates, average size, mass, how much blood they can lose before they die, how long they can live without limbs, how much pain they can feel, I have many live vivisections to perform." He said with a smile.
"I am jealous my lord!" Silithus said while bowing.
"I shall fetch for you when the stealth void ship is in place, this mysterious wahhhh, energy perplexes me, also they have their own magicians "weird boys" and they can build machines that from what I hear should not work by, "builder boys". They are an interesting race, when I asked the old one about them he told me they are descendants of the Corks which were nothing like the Orc we see today. They went of a unexpectant evolutionary path, form what he told me they were supposed to be much like humans intelligence but instead ended like this because they were not able tog guide them like other seeded races such as the Eldar, Humans and Tau while they became ferrell. I found it odd that a race that cannot make their own refined ores but cobble together ships from scrap or there favorite space hulks. Since they are grown from a fungus and multiply faster than any race other than the tyranids, they employ wave tactics and life had no value, they often will kill their own to get to the enemy if they are in the way. Often times the majority of their ships, tanks and other machines explode and kill everyone more often than they work. They are a strange it is said that before the advent of the Imperium if all the Greenskins in all the Galaxy got together and waged war they could have taken over the Galaxy easily, but do to clan squabbles and a warrior needed to be strong enough to force his will to rule them then they never have been able to do it." Demiurge said half thinking out loud.
"Well, I think things my Lord, God of the Orcs!" Sithus said.

M1 031
One the edge of the One of the Greatest Orc Kingdoms a ship that could not be detected by any type of auspect sensors, if one were to look at it the would only see a siligh variation in possible depth perception. A hatch slowly opened and shot out a single pod camouflaged as a meteor, it caught on fire as it shot toward the surface of the planet, it passed though the atmosphere and slammed onto the ground . Demiurge smile it was time to take over another empire but this time his way. Lord Ainz told him any mean he wanted and home being an all knowing god gave credence to the Choas Guardians motto "Silence is agreement to your methods."
In the next sector over Ainz sneezes which was weird because he was in his metal body. Ainz shook his head things were not supposed to be like this, the golden throne was a chance for him to relax not change his body into a light beacon and a huge of the dead. He had more work than he had before he had to do three thing at once minimum and did not like it. He was in his personal quarters with his recharge and auto cycle sevators oiling every joint fixing pistons and worn out cogs. One of the servants took off his right hand to repair the damage done when he crushed the arm of his chair what seemed like months but due to the warp was years ago. Being undead time management was never a strong point of his. That when he got the a astropathic relay or call from Lilith of all people.
"Computer answer call" Ainz said in his voice that he picked not to cold and not to warm the voice of a perfect leader.
"God Emperor Ainz I venerate you may the Gala…"
"Amu, enough of that I told you that being a being of the warp, married to my son and mother to a new race that is the will bridge the gap between species make you family so what do you want daughter of mine." Ainz said lead back making a lazy motion with his hand.
"Well, f-father I just wanted you to know what going on back on Terra since you've been gone for years." Lilith said in her monotone voice that got better with time.
"Ah yes I have read the reports but I do feel that they are made to my liking not everything could be going son well!" Ainz asked.
"Well, the crusade has had a uplifted the spirits of the unworthy who have to live in the netherlands, we have made countless planets for them and the terraforming of the thousands of planets is giving the room for necessary agriculture and mining needs. Your son and I have five children together and my presents has increased the both rate of Eldar to sustainable levels." Lilith said.
"From the time of your voice you did not call me on state affairs but family ones?" Ainz asked.
"Yes Egastus is concerned her son Primus and Cain were born a few years ago reached maturity in a month, Martellus came to fetch the boys and that is the last we have seen of him. We both know he can use gate and see us as Mare spends every night with me even though he is so far away. Lilith said cupping her hands, Ainz quickly figured she was calling for wife not her.
"I have heard the battles north of segmentum Sol have been let's say disturbing" Ainz said.
"Martellus has changed, he is still kind and loving but craves war and his methods have become brutal if that is a word for it. Stories say the only time he smiles know is when he is fighting, and his sons idolize him and when they come home the stories they tell are disturbing but they think it is normal." Lilith said.
"Well I would like to tell you I am surprised but I told Eastas this would happen, Martellus is a good man but I created him for war. I will speak to him I know that's what you desire, I believe coming back from the front more often will be good for him as taking all the worlds around the Eye of Terror must take a toll as is it is a pit of evil I worry that it will wear off on him." Ainz said.
"Thank you Lord Father that is all I ask, I know he will listen to you. Congratulations on your victory over the hive fleet Leviathan and the annexation of the Hyperion Empire although not much was left from what I read in the sentorum."
"Thank you I am off to fight the Greenskins in the West portion of the segmentum then to the next part give everyone home especially my son greetings from me" Ainz replies
"I will, by faith and fire you shall prevail purging the unbelievers of you Divine right to rule this Galaxy" With that she nodded her head and disconnected the feed.'
Update at last sorry, so I am going to put the greenskin war in the next book and finish with the Martellus brutal crusade of Segmentum pacificus. Unless you want something else I dunno whatever. Thanks for reading,
