"The Lord of Mankind longs for that treasure, and His Majesty the God-Emperor longs to return to the world. The day of dedication has arrived..."

Alexei didn't know if this theory was correct, let alone where it came from, but some intuition told her that this was not the Emperor's intention.

There are also voices opposing this theory in the Esbanese Sector. However, with the barbaric growth of the green skins, the shadow of the Tyranids gradually shrouded the imperial world in the Esbanese Sector, and Chaos also Ready to move among the stars.

News of the fall of the world continued to come, the despair of the doomsday, and the radical inquisitors who adhered to the theory of the resurrection of the God Emperor added fuel to the fire, making this crazy rhetoric grow and spread in the star sector at an incredible speed, winning. Live through a plague.

In fact, among the people of the Empire, for nine thousand years, the theories and factions dedicated to resurrecting the Emperor have never disappeared.

Only this time is different. This time the radical inquisitor roped in the prophetess Alexei to endorse his theory.

The fanatical people who believed in the impending return of the Emperor called this theory:

"Theory of the Resurrection of the God-Emperor".

Russell, who had no interest in the political struggles of the Esbanese Sector, spent a few seconds digesting this absurd argument before bursting into laughter.

He slightly raised the broken body of Bao in his hand and said: "I will not comment on your theory, but if you want to say whether this thing can bring the emperor back to life, I can tell you right now, it is absolutely impossible."

Alexey nodded slightly. Needless to say, she had already obtained the relevant information about "The Last Bao" from Russell's spirit:

This is just a race of Gestalt creatures that are close to nature and love peace. The Ba'ao race has the magical property of being able to transform extreme planets with harsh environments into mild and livable conditions. At this point, Bao is indeed a very precious treasure, but it is not that important.

At least, not something that would allow the human empire to assemble a huge fleet as large as the Martyrs and Pilgrims.

"In the end, it's just wishful thinking on our part." Alexei sighed.

If she looks back and reflects on her precognitive dream back then, she will understand that the Emperor never said personally that the so-called "treasure that changed the destiny of the empire" was the same one that gave rise to the orcs' rise to power.

It has always been only those radical judges who adhere to their own ideals, who have extended their thoughts on the prophetess's prophetic dream, allowing countless desperate people to believe it as true, and thus summoned countless fanatical pilgrims, even A The Stat Chapters also gathered under the banner of the martyrs.

The golden hope that supported them in fighting the orcs and led them across the sea of ​​stars was just a dream from the beginning.

Or tell a joke, or... a forced lie.

"Although it is impossible for the Emperor to be resurrected, and the Bao in the hands of the orcs was never what he asked for, but..."

Russell thought for a while and then said: "Since the emperor asked you to come here, then I can probably guess what he wants to get."

Alexey opened his invisible eyes wide: "You know? Please, please point me in the direction..."

Russell smiled helplessly: "This is what the emperor asked you to say."

Alexei lowered his head in embarrassment, she couldn't lie.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Russell shook his head.

Taking Bao from Nurgle's hands has already made him enmity with his loving father. Now that the Emperor actively wants to owe him a favor, he has no reason to refuse to be protected by the boss.

The surrounding psychic power fluctuated slightly with Russell's thoughts, so a small, angular thing floated out of his cloak and swayed to Alexei's chest.

"This is...?" Alexey was a little confused.

Floating in front of her was a small crystal that was only the size of a finger. Gray mist flowed inside the clear crystal, giving people a strange and profound feeling.

"This is a small fragment of the 'Zero Soul Stone', connected to the 'hole' you peeked into before." Russell said lightly:

"The siphon effect of the void will swallow up and shield all powers related to the subspace, and this soul stone fragment can remember and distinguish your psychic wavelength. In short, it can shield you from interference from the subspace to a certain extent. , while not weakening your own psychic power."

Alexey pursed her lips slightly and held the soul stone fragment in her palm with great care. She had realized how precious a gift this fragment was.

"But the role of this fragment itself is secondary... It is actually a token. If you show it to the planetary governor of Falla, he will understand everything, and you will get what the emperor wants."

Russell added: "Consider it a meeting gift from me, for the sake of the fact that the Emperor and I are both human beings."

"I understand, thank you for your generosity." Alexey lowered his head deeply and bowed to him humbly.

"That's it, I have to deal with the bugs now, we'll see you again." Russell said, breaking the mental link with Alexei.

The feeling that her soul was enveloped in tenderness suddenly dissipated. Alexey couldn't help but feel a moment of sadness, but she quickly calmed down her emotions and gave Russell a polite smile: "I'm looking forward to meeting you next time, but What should we call you then?"

That's true...Russell thought for a moment and said, "I think you can call me - the Star Popper."

"...Star-Bouncer?"

"You will soon understand the meaning of this name." Russell dropped these last words and disappeared into the deep darkness of the throne room.

As soon as he disappeared, Alexey flopped to the ground.

The back of the prophetess was already soaked, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. Russell would never know how much psychological pressure the calm conversation just now put on this psychic. She clenched her hands Holding the Zero Crystal tightly against his chest, he breathed heavily with lingering fear.

"Star flicker...star flicker...star flicker?"

In the dilapidated corridor outside the throne room, the pharmacist who arrived later was recovering gene seeds from the corpses of the battle brothers. The injured and undead warriors left the fortress in a personnel carrier and returned to the flagship, the Penitent Fire. receive treatment.

——This is amazing. Although these battle brothers died heroically in the battle with the Chaos Demon, their gene seeds are very pure, without any trace of pollution.

As for Chapter Leader Milak, he only received simple treatment to stabilize his injury. He had no time to grieve for the lost battle brothers, but chose to communicate with the Gray Knight squad leader "Dimitri" who came here as soon as possible. What happened to him in the throne room, and how Baor, who was corrupted into the Great Demon of Nurgle, was killed by the mysterious psyker alone.

The word he used was "kill", not "banish".

The Gray Knight, who was most sensitive to demonic matters, naturally noticed this. Dimitri asked in detail about the whole battle, and finally focused on the two weapons that the mysterious man had always carried with him.

Weapons that can truly kill demons are extremely rare, and even Dimitri knows only a few of them.

Just as they were about to discuss the next step of the current situation, a graceful figure in white robes came out of the throne room.

Dimitri immediately led the Gray Knights and Miraak to meet him, but saw that the prophetess's face was pale, and she seemed to have been greatly frightened.

Alexei held a small crystal with illusory mist flowing in his hand and said feebly: "Send me to Falla immediately, immediately..."
