Chapter 643 Check Your Loyalty
"Fine! In that case, go back to your Macurag and build your Second Reich."

"How about I go back to Balthus with Sanguinese to sell chicken sauce?"

Vashtor watched as the conflict erupted in places most people hadn't noticed.

In a fragment of the future, he glimpsed a secret meeting between the Primal Bodies and Zhou Yun.
During this meeting, in front of Saint Gilles, Ryan El-Johnson, and Clone Fugen, a secret report was read aloud, accusing Zhou Yun of focusing too much attention on the Eldar and the Necromancers, two alien races.
In particular, the large number of space undead gathering in the Neferim sector has greatly drained Zhou Yun's attention and the Empire's resources.

At the end of his report, Guilliman declared that he hoped Zhou Yun would remember that he was a human being and not a god of the aliens, and warned Zhou Yun not to waste the Empire's resources to bestow His divine grace upon the aliens.

Zhou Yun and Guilliman engaged in a heated debate. Zhou Yun refuted Guilliman, claiming that he did not see any aliens; he only saw psionic specialization demi-humans and iron-skull demi-humans.
According to the laws established by the Emperor, anything with a human skull is human, and the Eldar and the Necromancers clearly have human skulls.

"If you want to check your genes, believe me, except for me, you are all mutants!"

"You're not clean, and neither is the one sitting on the golden throne. Every single one of you couldn't even pass the Department of Military Affairs' mutant screening!"

“You all have to put your hands behind your heads, shout that you are shameful mutants, and wait for the commissar to come and burn you to ashes.”

Before Zhou Yun could finish speaking, Guilliman stood up angrily.
He announced that the Emperor had appeared to him in a dream the previous night, telling him that Zhou Yun was no longer loyal to the Human Empire. Guilliman had pointed out Zhou Yun's problems in this private report based on his trust in Zhou Yun.

"You're now questioning my loyalty?"

"Sitting here are the Emperor of the Second Empire, the Regent of the Second Empire, and the War General of the Second Empire. Think about what you've done?"

"It's truly an ambitious undertaking. Horus expended so much effort, only to die and his soul dissipate. The Emperor fought with all his might, only to become a dried-up corpse on the Golden Throne. And you, Guilliman, only needed to be late once to usurp the entire empire."

Zhou Yun's words thoroughly enraged Guilliman, and the two almost came to blows. Fortunately, Saint Gilles intervened to stop Zhou Yun, and Klon Fugen intervened to stop Guilliman. Ryan, on the other hand, was disgusted by the conflict before him.

"You'd better figure out who's loyal and who's a traitor as soon as possible, so I know whose head to take." After uttering these cold words, Ryan took a stroll through the woods and left.

Guilliman and Zhou Yun eventually parted ways on bad terms.

Guilliman left the Ghost Realm to continue his indomitable expedition, and the clone Fugen followed him.

Zhou Yun remained in the Spirit Exorcising Dead Zone, continuing to stay with the undead, with Saint Gilles by his side.

But according to Vashtor, the cracks had already quietly formed and were continuing to expand.

More clues began to emerge from Vashtor.

First, a minor political upheaval occurred on Terra.

A large-scale personnel change occurred among the High Lords. Many High Lords and Secondary Lords who were inclined to believe in Saint Doraemon were replaced. Only the Forging General Uura was spared due to his unique position. The High Sister of the Battle Sisters was still Morwen Val, but the High Lord position belonging to the Battle Sisters was replaced by an Imperial Archives Minister from Alteramar.

Then, Pope Eos Ritra, who also came from Ottara, declared: the Battle Sisters are the daughters of the Emperor, all Battle Sisters should believe in and can only believe in the Emperor, and the Battle Sisters must abandon their faith in Saint Doraemon.

The following day, the Pope of the State Church mysteriously disappeared, only to reappear as a prisoner of the fighting nuns.
The fighting nuns claimed that the pope had been replaced by Tzeentch's alter ego, and publicly executed him. As a result, the pope's corpse actually turned into an alter ego.

This incident caused a huge uproar, and the battle nuns began to publicly question whether the Highlord Council had been corrupted.

Former Highlord and Merchant Ronin spokesman Kania Danda also declared that the Merchant Ronin would refuse to provide them with any form of service until the Highlord Council proved its loyalty. The dismissed Highlord, Court Representative, and Doraemon's appointed Chief Inspector, Ers, also demanded that the Court review the Highlords' loyalty.

Ultimately, it was former Imperial Prime Minister Tyrean who stepped forward and, using his former political prestige and a series of complex political maneuvers, forcibly quelled the conflict. The Doraemon faction of High Lords, represented by Els and Morwen Val, returned to the High Lord Council.

Vashtor watched these political struggles with great interest.

Although it was mended, the crack itself did not disappear.

It was precisely because of humanity's efforts to mend the rift that Vastor gradually came to believe that a division was taking place between humanity, Zhou Yun, and the Emperor.

Larger cracks appeared on Mars.
The authority of Mars-forged General Uura has been questioned, as has the authority of Saint Doraemon.

The God of All Machines possesses three divine aspects: the God of All Machines, the Om Messiah, and the Primal Force.
Such doctrines naturally led to the division of Mars into many different factions.

Some worship the god of all machines, some worship Om Messiah, and some worship the primordial force.
Before the arrival of Doraemon, the Om Messiah had the most believers. Among them, some believed that the Emperor was the Om Messiah, some believed that the Emperor was the Om Messiah's agent, and some believed that the true Om Messiah had not yet arrived. Overall, they were divided.
However, after Doraemon's arrival, the Primal Power faction suddenly gained control of the discourse on Mars, suppressing the originally largest Om Messiah faction, which in turn caused these Om Messiah faction members to band together for mutual support.

Now that a conflict has erupted between the Emperor, who is believed to be the Ommesiah or an incarnation of the Ommesiah, and Zhou Yun, who is the Primal Force, a major debate has naturally broken out between the Ommesiah faction and the Primal Force faction to vie for the initiative.

The Om Messianic school asserted that Om Messiah should occupy the dominant position in the faith, and that the Primal Forces should not be worshipped as a personal god. The Primal Forces school countered with a series of rebuttals, and the relationship between the two sides gradually became increasingly tense.

They both realized that words could no longer persuade each other, and tensions began to rise.

Some clandestine sects even began to take advantage of the situation.

Those who, in particular, neither believed that the Emperor was the Om Messiah nor embraced the original driving force of Doraemon, began their activities.

In the subspace, the Emperor's psychic power also hovered above the solar system, closely monitoring the entire galaxy, especially Mars, clearly to prevent Zhou Yun from devouring the Martian dragon.

Vashtor was essentially convinced of the conflict between Zhou Yun and the Emperor.
But Vashtor didn't believe the conflict was unsolvable; he thought he was just buying himself some time by sowing discord.
He had to seize this opportunity and complete the construction of Longlin Star as soon as possible.
In Vashtor's view, the question now is whether Zhou Yun will swallow the Martian Dragon first, or whether he will finish the race on Dragon Forest Star first.

On the scorching Martian ground, reddish-brown dust billowed.
Grand Sage Ngula of the Mechanicus led a formidable force across this wasteland.
A crimson-red Guardians accompanied his heavily modified body. Surrounding the Guardians were more than ten patrol knights and more than twenty squire knights. In addition, twelve Titans accompanied the knights, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Ngura gathered this power by exploiting the infighting between the Om Messiah faction and the Primal Dynamics faction, and then led this power toward the Dragon Prison.

Ngula, broadly speaking, belongs to the Om Messiah cult, which believes that Om Messiah is the master of all technology, laws, and mechanical creations in the real universe.
However, Ngula's lineage has a rather unique belief. They do not believe that the Emperor is Ommesia, nor do they believe that the Emperor is Ommesia's agent, nor do they believe that the real Ommesia has not yet descended. Instead, they believe that the Emperor took advantage of Ommesia's weakness and used despicable means to steal Ommesia's power, imprisoning Ommesia underground on Mars.

The true Om Messiah is a dragon, whose power is as eternal and mighty as his silver scales.
Every great sage of the Ngula faction has dreamt twelve times of the great Martian dragon lurking beneath the earth, calling upon his true followers to break free of their prison.

However, throughout the long years, the Ngula faction never found such an opportunity until recently, when both the Om Messiah and Primal Dynamics factions focused all their energy on the Great Debate.

Both sides are obsessed with nitpicking and finding clues in various classic texts, debating which is more powerful, Om Messiah or the Primal Force. They are frantically increasing the magnitude of the divinity they believe in, while trying to strip away the divinity of the other side. Now, the two sides have reached the point of using various abstract mathematical terms to inflate the numbers of Om Messiah and the Primal Force.

Ngula didn't understand their behavior at all. He thought it was meaningless. He believed that once he freed the real Martian Dragon, they would naturally understand who was the strongest. However, by focusing on such a pointless matter and ignoring the Eternal Night Labyrinth, they created an opportunity for Ngula.

Ok?
Ngula suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He saw a blue figure looming in and out of the red sand before his friars, seemingly looking in the direction of Ngula.
