I'm a magnetic field madman

"Lord of Humanity, you're right..." Isha lowered her head, smiling bitterly...

"But now that things have come to this, do we have any other choice? If we don't revive the Spirit Race gods, how can you and I possibly resist the Four Chaos Gods?"

"Your Grim Reaper can hold off Slaanesh; even if he can't kill him, he can at least keep her in hiding for ten thousand years," the Emperor said calmly.

"I will do everything in my power to help you lock Nurgle's plague in his garden... and can you turn his nature around for the better?"

“I…can try,” Isa whispered.

Isa and Nurgle form a cycle of life, but the difference is that Isa represents death.

Because she is a goddess of healing, and healing itself means the annihilation of tiny lives!

To abandon the micro for the sake of the macro.

In her life cycle with Nurgle, Nurgle only returns to normal when her healing takes the lead or becomes balanced.

"But everything still depends on mortals; the war of the heavens is still influenced by every law of the mortal realm."

"Then let the gods be gods, and the mortals be mortals," the emperor said quietly.

"As for Khorne and Tzeentch, I will do my best to hold one of them back. As for the remaining one, if our plan goes smoothly, it won't pose such a threat..."

"Once the Great Rift is sealed, the influence of the heavens on the mortal world will be greatly reduced," Isa said softly.

"But can we really achieve a balance between the two realms?"

This is a secret known only to the ancient gods, the truth about the balance of the world.

Over the past millions of years, the relationship between subspace and the material universe has been like a tilted scale, constantly slipping downwards.

The original ancient saints and star gods, though they were enemies of each other...

But in essence, they are like different weights on two scales: subspace and the physical universe.

Their existence balanced the course of the two worlds, until the rise of the Fear of Death and the outbreak of the War of Heaven, everything went out of control and went berserk!

The Old Ones were nearly wiped out, and the Star Gods were shattered to pieces. But this did not create balance, because the characteristics of the Old Ones as warp beings meant that their deaths would not cause one side of the scale to disappear, but rather to be transformed!

The parts of the ancient saints that disappeared were devoured by the Eldar gods, the enslaved, and countless emotions stirred by the War of Heaven in the Warp.

The Star God, which was originally the balance between the two realms in the physical universe, was shattered by the Space Necromancers, and some were even directly annihilated by them!

The balance had already been disrupted by that moment, and it was precisely at that time that the ancient saints used their power to tear open the Eye of Fear.

Even though it was stitched up by the space necromancers, the existence of the wound already proved the collapse of the balance.

It was from that time that the proportion of power in the subspace began to rise silently.

The rise of the Eldar, their corruption, and their reckless squandering of psionic energy only added to the weight of the problem.

It should be noted that even during the period after the War of Heaven ended, there was almost no trace of the so-called demons in the highest heavens.

If the four gods have existed since time immemorial, then why are the prophets of the Ancient Spirit Empire completely unaware of them?

Because, chronologically speaking, those four individuals do not yet fully "exist".

It was the continuous worsening of the imbalance that led to the deterioration of the situation. As the warp gradually transformed from a paradise into a wasteland filled with enslaved people, and then into a terrifying purgatory filled with the unborn, the step-by-step imbalance ultimately created this outcome.

The physical universe lacks a force to suppress it, which directly results in a complete imbalance of power between the subspace and the material universe.

So in the end, the space necromancers remain the root of all problems. If the Stargods hadn't perished, they could have balanced a considerable amount of warp mass simply by devouring souls.

But all this is pointless now. The moment the imbalance occurs, it's destined to go berserk until the scales completely lose their balance and the two worlds merge completely...

"The spread of magnetic field rotation in this world is now unstoppable."

The emperor said calmly.

"The collapse of civilization, the rupture of culture, and the collapse of power structures are facts. The empire is destined to perish, but in this destruction, a sufficient number of magnetic field powerhouses will also be born."

"They will have the power to balance the warp in place of the Star Gods. It may take a long time, but their very existence will be enough to suppress the unchecked spread of the warp."

"But they won't stand idly by and watch all this happen, so we must seal the Eye of Fear... to buy time for the future!"

This is why the Emperor insisted on an alliance between Guilliman and the Eldar. They shared common interests: sealing the Eye of Terror and causing a significant drop in the proportion of psychic power throughout the universe!

The Eye of Fear is, after all, the biggest wound in the entire galaxy. Although there are other gaps such as the Great Vortex, once the Eye of Fear closes, the things that psychic energy can do will naturally disappear on a large scale.

Just as humanity transitioned from the Old Night to the Dark Ages of Technology, there were almost no psionic beings before the Eye of Fear was shattered by Slaanesh...

It was only after that warp storm that the human race began a large-scale psionic awakening.

Of course, sealing the Eye of Fear comes at a price. For the Emperor and Isa, that means—

They will be almost unable to interfere in the mortal world, whether it be the Eldar or humans, and their future will be completely uncared for by their gods.

This is also why Isa strongly protested the Emperor's Plan... For the Mother Goddess who doted on the Eldar, such complete isolation was unbearable.

"But won't the rotation of the magnetic field destroy our respective races?" Isa asked pointedly.

"You know all too well that this power is far more terrifying than psychic energy, and that it will unleash calamities no less devastating than those caused by evil gods. And what choice will the unfinished god make?"

"What has happened cannot be changed." The emperor remained silent for a long time, then said wearily in a low voice...

"As for the unfinished god, does he really care about anything in the mortal world? Such an ultimate powerhouse is more chaotic than chaos itself, but whatever the case, things won't get any worse."

Yes, it shouldn't get any worse.

Even if humanity and the Eldar continue to wage war in the future, even if they have to contend with endless Tyranid swarms and rising Necromancers...

Even if they might perish under the influence of their own magnetic field—at least they won't have to suffer from the evil gods anymore.

In this dark universe, destruction and one's own ignorance are already a luxury.

Isa's light transformed into a wisp of emerald green bird, instantly disappearing into Guilliman's body.

In an instant, the weakened Guilliman felt all the divine plague within him being completely eradicated!

Moreover, a vibrant energy was infused into Guilliman's body, causing some changes he was unaware of...

But in any case, Guilliman has been fully resurrected.

The avenging son, his face no longer deathly pale but full of vitality, stood up, his eyes radiating an unprecedented light and energy.

"It seems those gods have accomplished their goal," Bai Qian Shuang chuckled, carrying the Avalon Scepter...

"Let me guess, are you going back to Terra next? Great, because I'm going too!"

128.Insects

Bai Qianshuang was going to the heart of the human empire to visit the core of that declining empire—Terra.

This is an absolutely unacceptable outcome for the Eldar.

If it were humans, would they have allowed the emperor to come to the Comoros?

Even if they do come, they will certainly bring a large fleet and military force.

But in reality, whether it was Bai Qianshuang or the Emperor, even if they acted so willfully, their people and subordinates still couldn't do anything.

Because she has power, she can really do whatever she wants. Even if these spirit race members are unwilling, they have no way to stop Bai Qian Shuang if she really wants to do it.

However, what was originally Bai Qianshuang's personal trip was transformed by the Eternal Council into a return visit by the Eldar Empire to the Human Empire... In other words, the Eldar Empire will be "visiting" Terra with a large fleet.

This will undoubtedly be something that will make the entire Terran region furious.

But Guilliman agreed, because it was the Emperor's will... and he figured that Terra, which had been thoroughly ravaged by Leon, wouldn't have any objections or problems.

After completing his treatment, Guilliman threw himself back into his work at an even faster pace.

Hundreds of diplomatic agreements and exchanges of interests were finalized one by one, and the human empire would establish a cooperative relationship with the Eldar empire beyond the bounds.

From this point onward, any Eldar army classified as belonging to the Eldar Empire and any human army will reach a basic non-aggression pact...

If any unit of either side goes off on its own, it will be handed over to its own side for supervision and punishment by the affected party.

Most importantly, the Eldar army will join forces with human forces to attack the Eye of Terror and wipe out the Black Legion and those rebels!

This may be the first time since the 30K era that the human empire has chosen to truly cooperate with an alien force.

This is a kind of helpless sorrow, because we are no longer as powerful as we were ten thousand years ago, so we have to compromise with each other and choose to cooperate.

But this can also be considered a good thing. Even if they still dislike each other, the first exchange and cooperation may lead to a new and better future for both races.

This universe is not vast enough to accommodate two races that are prejudiced and insane.

But this universe is not insignificant; it can accommodate those who have let go of hatred and prejudice.

The diplomatic trip ended with Bloodshark and Angron calling each other brothers in a friendly manner... and if even a petty madman can let go of hatred, why can't they?

Soon, Guilliman and his party set off on their journey back to Terra.

When the immense Radiance of Macrag broke through the moon's net, what he saw was a burning Terra!

The original has returned.

With Guilliman's awakening and the celebration taking place, this event, which was enough to excite the entire Empire, was quickly confirmed by Terra, but Terra's response to it was extremely fragmented.

The common people and the general nobility were overjoyed and enthusiastically preparing to welcome the return of the divine child, believing that their return would sweep away the corruption of Terra and lead the empire to new heights.

The Terra leadership clearly did not think that way; in fact, they had already secretly mobilized a large number of troops.

The conservative faction, led by Amo Talion, the Minister of the Interior of the High Lords Council, mobilized all forces near the Sun Sector except for Astartes... and these military forces were deployed in every key location in the Terra Sector.

What they want to do is almost obvious.

The conservative Highlords did not believe that the Primarch's return was beneficial to the Empire. They believed that the Empire was steadily improving under their control, and that it was gradually winning!

Primarchs, on the other hand, will only cause unnecessary reforms and changes, altering everything that was originally stable in Terra and the Empire, and may even instigate events like the Horus Rebellion.

Many members of the High Lords Council hold a positive view of this.

The Terra Highlords' Council consists of nine permanent members and three special seats...

In the last thousand years, conservative forces have almost always held a majority of power.

Several high lords shared similar ideas with the Minister of the Interior, Talion, including Lucius Slod, Abbot of the Star Torch; Zlata Ash Clapias, Abbot of the Star Language Court; Cleopatra Ers, representative of the Inquisition; and Moor A. Sariel, Commander-in-Chief of the Star Forces.

Even within the High Lords Council, which holds the highest power in the empire, there are still so-called factions and cronyism... but political stances are not a child's game of black and white.

These people claim to support Talion, but their loyalty is not necessarily absolute. And some, even if they don't outwardly support him, might secretly share the same attitude towards the Primarch's return.

In short, the High Lords Council serves as the central authority of the Empire's highest power...

The bureaucracy and power struggles within this place embody the "essence" of the entire empire.

In an ancient, secret chamber near the Lion's Gate, Talion, the Minister of the Interior, is searching for an ancient book...

When he took it out, he blew away the dust on the surface, turned the yellowed parchment pages, and there lay a book of Christian history.

It records the history of the Horus Rebellion, of course, from the perspective of the Imperials.

In fact, most of the Imperials, and even the Asarts after the Great Rebellion, lacked a true understanding of the history of the Horus Rebellion.

Even with the state religion's intention to embellish its own legitimacy and sanctity, the emperor's offspring were reduced to only nine.

Those rebellious Primarchs were transformed into "demons" in the scriptures preached by the state religion, and Horus became the chief of demons.

This is yet another ludicrous story: the emperor, who despises religion, destroys Terra's last Catholic church just before the end of the Old Night... and everything he does seems to be playing the role of the "God" of that religion.

For example, Nicaea, the Court of Judgment, Amighidodton, the Son (Saint Gilles), the Father (Emperor), and the Holy Spirit (Saint Gilles).

The story of Horus, however, takes on a completely different form in the records of the state religion.

The cause and beginning of the Great Rebellion are obscured, and Horus's past as a Warmaster is glossed over... As for the grudges and feuds of the other Primarchs, there is not a single record of them.

The story they recorded is a bizarre and absurd version of the Book of Isaiah...

He documented how the demons led a third of the Angels of Death in a rebellion against the Great God-Emperor, and after failing to challenge him, they were banished from Terra... They then left the Empire for Hell, where they have remained dormant ever since.

Yes, under the preaching of the state religion, Horus became "Lucifer".

In fact, as a metaphor, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, the story of the emperor and Horus is not fundamentally different from that of God and Lucifer.

However, to those who know this history, all of this record seems ridiculous and laughable.

“Bright star, son of the morning, why have you fallen from heaven? Why have you been cast down to the earth, you who have conquered the nations? You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to the heavens.’”

I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;

I will sit on the mountain of assembly, at the very edge of the north. I will ascend above the highest clouds; I will be like the Most High. Yet you will fall to Sheol, to the deepest depths of the pit.

Talion recited a passage in standard Low Gothic that wasn't written on it, then closed the book with a mocking smile and tossed it aside, saying to the person behind him...

"The true history has been replaced by these dubious religious lies... The harm that the Primarchs and their offspring inflicted on the people of the Empire and the Emperor has thus been concealed."
