The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Facing the Star Disaster Prophet's almost threatening teasing, the Inquisitor simply shrugged.

“Judgment is judgment, but it doesn't mean execution. The matter will be dropped during the investigation phase. Everyone knows Sotha's energy, and even Dante wouldn't really allow the Lamenters to have an accident. No matter how this matter develops, it will eventually stop at the investigation stage.”

“So, it's a political trick?”

“A small trick, but the goal is good.”

The Star Disaster smiled and shook his head.

“Human diversity is truly amazing every time.”

“The Conclave values the role and power of the Throne in the galaxy very much, and from the Throne's last rescue of the Lamenters and this rescue of the Westeros star system, it can be seen that the Throne is a force that can be cooperated with. We sincerely invite the Throne to send envoys to the Conclave's secret sanctuary for negotiations. If possible, we also accept your invitation... I heard that the ruler of the Throne is an Eternal Queen who inherited the ancient kingship, and a very powerful Phoenix King?”

“Alas.”

The Star Disaster shook his head and sighed:

“Your ways of hiding your intentions and emotions are as clumsy as ever, humans. Since we've already reached this point, why hide it? Your Conclave must have its own sources of information in Commorragh or with the Harlequins. Even if the Eldar's contact with you is interrupted, the information will not be completely cut off. So, just say the question you want to ask directly.”

At this moment, the person on the screen hesitated obviously, and finally raised his hand to change the light, revealing those deep eyes, cheeks with scars and tattoos, and a serious expression.

“No disrespect, but I heard... that the Phoenix King is not Aeldari? But...”

The Star Disaster's mouth curled into an interested smile.

“Do you believe it?”

“It is indeed unbelievable. There is also controversy within the Conclave about this. Most brothers... believe that this is just a ridiculous rumor released by Vect.”

“Since even you think it's a ridiculous rumor, then what is the meaning of Vect releasing it?”

“Uh...”

“In terms of race, His Highness is indeed not Aeldari, but he is not anything else either. He is just him. He has already transcended the racial definition of mortal flesh. He is a god on earth, a great man who created the Eternal Throne together with Her Majesty, established a foundation for all ages, and an immortal dynasty, one... who is more worthy of galactic hegemony than that throbbing dark heart on Terra.”

The Inquisitor pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and then said slowly:

“Then, is the Eternal Throne willing to have a friendly exchange and consultation with the Conclave?”

“This will be decided by His Highness and Her Majesty. I am just here to understand you. We will also investigate your identities, but I must advise you, don't be curious, and don't investigate His Highness's identity, it will lead to very serious consequences.”

These words caused some changes in the Inquisitor's eyes, but the other party covered up his emotions in time and replied:

“I understand, but I have one last question.”

“Speak.”

“Why are you here helping the Imperium against the Tyranids?”

“Because the Hunger in the Void is a common threat to the galaxy. Its devouring does not distinguish between targets. After devouring you, it will also aim its sharp teeth and claws at us. The best time to solve a threat is before it becomes a real threat. Our actions are always out of prevention rather than remedy. You call yourselves the Ysari Witch Covens, and you should be able to understand better than ordinary humans.”

“Yes, that's what I guessed, but this Tyranid force is very strong. Is the Throne's fleet... this is a new space fortress? It seems to be a type I haven't seen before.”

“You ask too many questions, human. I have gotten what I wanted, so let's say goodbye.”

After saying that, the Star Disaster waved his hand, and the picture on the wall disappeared.

After pondering in place for a moment, the Star Disaster left the tower, but reappeared in the strategic room in an instant.

“I have already talked to him. This human Inquisitor claims to be from a faction called the Ysari Witch Covens...”

After briefly explaining the matter in half a minute, everyone's reactions were different.

“There is such a faction among humans? And still their most stubborn, most xenophobic Inquisition?”

Patricia was extremely surprised by this. In the past, she rarely left the Ark and did not care about humans.

“There is nothing strange. The complexity of humans is like the strange inventions of the Greenskins, which cannot be measured by logic. Huge differences are hidden in high consistency. Sometimes the differences between them are even like two races.”

Because of his past experiences, Ivaran was very knowledgeable about humans.

“I once encountered an Inquisitor who claimed that killing their Emperor would save humanity. Their group has never lacked the most incredible lunatics.”

But Loreena said to the Star Disaster:

“Is that all?”

“We didn't talk much.”

“You didn't say anything either?”

The Star Disaster raised an eyebrow.

“Lady Loreena, are you worried that I will reveal any secrets? Don't worry, I didn't say anything.”

“His Highness doesn’t want too many people to be curious about his identity——”

“If His Highness could put more energy into the Throne here.”

Patricia interrupted Loreena.

“Then the Throne would be stronger and more prosperous.”

Loreena just smiled awkwardly at this.

“What His Highness wants to do is up to him. He stands at a different height and thinks differently from us. If the prophets think that their guidance based on vague prophecies is higher than His Highness's vision, then the many Arkworlds should not be hiding until now.”

The Star Disaster raised his hand and stopped the two from arguing.

“I really didn’t say anything more, I just tested that person’s tone. This Inquisition Conclave has indeed been paying attention to the Throne. I suspect that they are not only related to the Eldar, but also to a certain Harlequin troupe. This matter can be handed over to the Golden Feather Guard for investigation, no matter what the result is, it will ultimately be decided by His Highness.”

At this moment, a red crystal suddenly began to flicker. Everyone's expression changed when they saw it. Duran, who had been silent, connected to the message as soon as possible.

“The Brakato star system has been invaded by Nurgle followers!”

The message was very short, but everyone showed a shocked expression. Instead, Duran calmly lit a platinum crystal, and soon Madail's low voice came.

“This is an invasion from the Fourteenth Legion, but I didn’t see Typhus’s fallen soul. All that came were a group of lackeys. These people are easy to deal with.”

Duran was silent for a moment, and asked in a clear voice:

“Something is not right, they have no reason to do such a meaningless thing.”

“It's meaningful, they attracted our attention, and it happened to be when the Throne sent troops to support the distant battlefield. If the Eternal Queen is not in the War Palace, then all military forces will be withdrawn to protect the Queen.”

“In other words, their target is actually another place.”

Duran raised his head and met the Star Disaster's gaze. Immediately afterwards, Dorar's voice also came from the crystal.

“The attack on the Throne is just a feint and deception. Typhus must have gone to the Neson star system. Their real target is the Neson star system!”
