My Life as A Death Guard

Next to the maps were various parts and small components—so many that they jingled and rattled the whole way back.

Despite being crammed full, the parts always found spaces to rattle around in.

Following the parts was the simple protective suit Hades had made from the Xenos Overlord’s hide.

After making a suit in Primarch size, the remaining material was just enough for Hades to make one for himself.

Of course, the protective suit wasn’t finished yet; Hades had his own ideas for it.

But due to his physical limitations, he couldn’t complete the mechanical part for now.

The frustrating part was that Hades discovered if he used the Black Domain to envelop these organic-machine spirits, there were only two outcomes: either the machine spirit would be completely destroyed, rendering the machine useless, or the machine spirit would become displeased.

However, if his Black Domain were strong enough, he could theoretically devour the machine spirit, leading to a real melee fight.

But at Hades’ current level, it would likely just result in a displeased machine spirit.

What kind of power is this?! What kind of cheat code gives you a debuff and buffs the enemy?!

In the southern battles, Hades had gradually become more familiar with his untouchable nature.

Simply put, he could “devour” the souls or Psychic Energy of other beings to make his Black Domain larger, darker, and stronger!

But the downside was that his control over the Black Domain would be further weakened.

For example, Hades’ maximum Black Domain diameter used to be seventy-five meters, with a minimum diameter of ten meters.

During the years in the south, after absorbing the Xenos Overlords’ Psychic Energy, the maximum diameter gradually increased to around one hundred meters.

Logically, the minimum diameter should also have increased.

And it did.

But at the same time, Hades discovered that with continuous use of the Black Domain, increasing his proficiency, he could control the Black Domain to shrink further.

This is why Hades firmly believed that one day he would be able to use all sorts of strange Warhammer machinery.

Thanks to Hades’ persistent use of the Black Domain, he could now compress it to a diameter of one meter.

At this point, the Black Domain was like a pitch-black black hole. Just looking at it seemed to draw in human souls.

But he couldn’t compress it any further, no matter what.

But that’s okay; one meter is already pretty good!

Yes, one meter! This meant that most of Hades’ social interactions wouldn’t be affected!

That distance was already the minimum distance an introverted recluse could tolerate in his previous life.

Currently, Hades used the Black Domain mainly for two purposes: to suppress enemy Psychic Energy and for stealth.

Generally speaking, for the former, Hades only needed to compress the Black Domain to within a six-meter diameter.

As long as the target was within this range, they would experience noticeable sluggishness.

For the latter, Hades only needed to compress the Black Domain to within a ten-meter diameter to completely conceal himself.

And when expanded to one hundred meters, it was primarily used to detect the presence of living beings on the opposing side.

As night fell, Hades finally finished sorting through all this miscellaneous “junk.”

Looking at the stuff filling the house, Hades felt a great sense of accomplishment, like a successful junk collector.

Enough thinking—time to sleep! Tomorrow, I’ll go chat with Herila!

Other than the guards at the gate, no one knew that Hades was back!
