Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

Half a month later.

Holy Terra.

Guilliman was still working through a mountain of documents.

Several people in the High Lords Council almost died suddenly, but fortunately after the Pope's heart failure happened, General Casting personally performed a new transformation surgery on the Pope, and promised other High Lords that if they transformed on Mars, There is also a heart problem, and he will definitely go on stage to perform surgery to save his life.

Two major events also occurred during this period.

One is the arrival of a device sent by Lord Tyrone to relieve the Emperor's pain.

The commander of the imperial army, Trajan, did not trust Guilliman as much as his predecessors. If it were him, he would even suspect Guilliman, not to mention the fact that he promised Guilliman that the imperial army would not leave the palace 10,000 years ago. Not trying to replace the Emperor.

Trajan certainly could not have consented to the device being placed in front of the emperor's golden throne.

But Guilliman used a word to get Trajan to agree.

"My father is undergoing torture. If you feel that I am not worthy of trust, then arrange for the Imperial Guard to guard the device 24 hours a day. If you feel that the Imperial Guard is not enough, then ask my Honor Guard to assist you to prevent Lord Cypher from sneaking into the palace again. And about escaping from the dungeon.”

Trajan was left speechless and could only accept Guilliman's request.

Plus, Lord Cypher really ran away.

Escape from the prison of the Palace of Terra.

No one knows how he escaped, just like no one knows how he entered the palace.

Lord Cypher entered and exited the palace as if he were in a deserted place, and the defenses that some of the Imperial Guards had set up with wisdom and no loopholes were in vain.

This had to make Trajan wonder whether there was an insider assisting Lord Cypher in entering and exiting the palace.

But how could there be a mole in the Forbidden Army?

But if there wasn't a mole in the Forbidden Forces, how could Lord Cypher enter the palace? How did you escape from the prison?

Besides the Forbidden Army, who else could be the mole?

This is the first thing.

The second thing is that Ryan enters the solar system.

This was two days ago.

Guilliman had to think about how he should explain it to Lion.

The original body thought that these two incidents were the only interruptions in the mountain of official duties he had to deal with recently, but he did not expect that there was another incident.

Horst, known as the "Immortal Judge", is here.

The Immortal Inquisitor.

When the Primarch saw Horst he sized up the Inquisitor.

It doesn't seem like there are many life-extending technological improvements, but it can still be alive and kicking even if it lives for thousands of years.

When Horst met the original body, he seemed very calm, as if he had known that the original body would wake up.

So Horst did not make small talk like other people meeting the Primarch for the first time, but got straight to the point.

"We have discovered a Hive Fleet traveling deep from the galactic north."

Horst got to the point a bit too directly, and Guilliman was caught off guard.

He choked back Guilliman's words of praise, "I know you have done a lot for humanity, thank you."

"It's not that I don't believe you, Horst." Guilliman calmed down and leaned on his chair, "But if the Tyranids come, Lord Tyran will remind me first that they should have more advanced detection technology... …”

"The Zerg are going straight to Tyrone, why do they need to remind you?" Horst asked.

Guilliman heard this and wanted to say something.

And Horst asked: "There has been a plague in the Five Hundred Worlds recently, and the Tyrone people should not expect you to send troops to help."

"Wait... Five Hundred Worlds..." Guilliman was stunned for a moment, "Calgar didn't report this to me. How could you tell me about the plague in Five Hundred Worlds before he did?"

Facing the original body's question, Horst calmly raised his hand and pointed to the Inquisition badge on his shoulder: "Inquisition, my lord."

Guilliman glanced at the Inquisition emblem, closed his mouth and lowered his head in thought.

Headache.

The original body's superhuman body actually developed a headache.

First it was the Tyron Defense War, and now it's the Zerg... There's also a plague in the Five Hundred Worlds.

While the primarch frowned and thought hard, Horst explained the matter.

"We, the people of the Inquisition, discovered the Zerg before the Tyron people, because farther north in the Tyron star sector, the Inquisition personnel conducting investigation activities heard the news from the Eldar that an Arkworld was devoured by the Zerg."

"But I reckon the Tyrones have detected it by now."

"us……"

When Horst continued to speak, Guilliman raised his head and looked at the undead inquisitor: "We have to provide support. I know that you have inquisitors who are good at dealing with the zerg. Please ask them to go to Tyron to help deal with the zerg."

"No need." Horst shook his head.

Guilliman narrowed his eyes.

Horst explained: "According to our investigation, during the Battle of Baal, a more intense war broke out in the Hades galaxy."

At this Guilliman sat up straight.

He thought that the Battle of Baal, which forced the war group to organize into a quasi-legion under heavy pressure, was already the most intense war.

"At that time, something in the Hades galaxy was engaged in a war of attrition with the Zerg."

"A war of attrition with more bugs than ammunition is enough to get a general executed in the Astra Militarum."

"But there is such a thing."

"The planet has been hollowed out, and of course the inorganic matter is gone... just like all the planets visited by bugs, but the problem is that the stones are gone."

"All the planets in the Hades galaxy have turned into a thin empty shell. The empty shell is not even made of stone, but is made up of dust scattered when the entire planet's minerals and stones were grabbed."

Listening to Horst's story, Guilliman suddenly remembered something.

iron Man.

But Guilliman did not express his guess, but pretended not to understand, and asked knowingly: "So what caused the war of attrition with the Zerg?"

"Yes, what is it?" Horst looked puzzled and spoke in a low voice, "What is it that can even consume stones? It is even crazier than those of the Tyranids that eat organic matter, and this kind of thing is only available in the Tyrone Sector. ?”

At this point in the conversation, Guilliman instantly understood that Horst was a drunkard who was not interested in drinking.

He was not here to report on the possibility of being attacked by the Zerg in the Tyrone sector, but to talk about the Hades galaxy.

This is why he said there was no need to send reinforcements to Tyrone, because they had more insane weapons than the Zerg.

But Horst immediately turned the topic back to the star sector: "I'm here to suggest that you calm down and don't provide support yet."

"Then your Inquisition can watch and get more information about those Tyron sector war machines, right?" Guilliman asked.

Seeing that his purpose was exposed, Horst did not hide it: "Yes."

He just wanted to get information about Iron Man, and wanted to be prepared to watch and record another war of attrition between two crazy species like that in the Hades galaxy.

"Then you have to see whether the Tyrones will give you this opportunity. It has nothing to do with me." Guilliman waved his hand to indicate that Horst could leave. "Anyway, even if I don't let you conduct investigation activities, you will still be in Tyrone." There is an inquisitor's body left on a certain planet, what's the use of telling me this?"

Horst nodded. He just wanted to reassure the original body and not interfere. It was that simple.

"Farewell." Horst saluted, turned and left.

After watching Horst leave, Guilliman began to think about the Zerg, and he did not believe that the Empire should stand aside.
