From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 560: Dealing with the Dispatch Situation

When Darth Vader led part of the fleet into hyperspace, the Imperial Palace in the main universe
In the meditation hall deep in the palace, the golden throne glowed with a cold halo under the reflection of the eternal psychic "flame".

Sui Yang sat on it, his black gold armor resonating with the energy veins of the throne, causing subtle ripples.

"."

Suddenly, his brows knitted tightly together, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes as deep as the abyss of stars.

Through his descendants scattered across the Star Wars universe, Sui Yang sensed a disturbing pulsation of chaos coming in the opposite direction along the dimensional barrier.

It felt like countless slimy tentacles were trying to penetrate his skin.

And the broken picture also flashed in Sui Yang's mind.

The sky over Coruscant was torn apart, emerald clouds of plague, wriggling like living creatures, devouring skyscrapers;

Scarlet rivers of blood rushed through the once bustling streets, with tumor-covered corpses floating on the surface;
Twisted and deformed stormtroopers executed screaming civilians with rusty blasters, each energy beam carrying the pink fluorescence of the Lord of Pleasure.

Most disturbing of all is the “familiar” figure in the center of the frame, Darth Vader.

But at this moment, Vader is no longer a product of the splicing of machines and flesh and blood. Dark red blood flows under his pale skin, and crystal-like claws grow at the ends of the five fingers of his new hands. Chaos runes that can change their positions autonomously appear on his black cloak.

Seeing this, Sui Yang's right index finger unconsciously tapped the armrest of the throne, and every touch stirred up a circle of light golden spiritual energy ripples.

Without the need for real-time intelligence, relying on his predictive ability, Sui Yang has confirmed a terrible fact, that is, Coruscant has fallen into the vortex of chaos and may even become another "Eye of Terror".

In the orbit of that planet, fleshy tentacles were growing on the hulls of the Galactic Empire's battleships, and what spewed out of their gun barrels were no longer lasers but living spores.

Furthermore, the galaxy where Coruscant is located cannot be monitored through ordinary means of observation, as if it is shrouded by an invisible curtain.

However, Sui Yang understood why the Chaos Gods were so "hungry" for that universe. After all, the dark side of the Force was a channel tailor-made for the corruption of the Warp.

And Darth Vader's existence becomes the perfect anchor point for the Chaos Gods to tear through the dimensional barriers and invade the Star Wars universe.

Every crack in the soul of the dark lord, who was tempered by hatred and rage, became a breeding ground for the corruption of the warp.

Looking back at the Battle of Scarif, although the Blood Ravens attacked Scarif with lightning speed and seized the ultimate weapon of the Galactic Empire, the Death Star, they missed the critical opportunity to wipe out the enemy completely.

As Magnus's psychic storm swept across the battlefield, Lorgar's sermons echoed in the void, and before Curze's shadow loomed over the Death Star, Vader evacuated in advance as if he had foreseen it.

The Sith Lord piloted his flagship and the core force of the fleet, leaving behind a string of strange chaotic aftermath in the hyperspace channel, as if a higher-dimensional being was guiding their retreat.

With the death of Wilhuff Tarkin and other core generals of the Empire, a vacuum appeared in the power structure of the Galactic Empire.

This allowed Darth Vader, an ambitious man, to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity extremely keenly. The fleets that had lost their commanders turned against their allies one after another, and hundreds of millions of stormtroopers involuntarily pledged allegiance to their new masters.

And, the most fatal turning point occurred after the confrontation between Darth Vader and Gabriel Angelos.

The collision between the lightsaber and the power sword seemed to make Darth Vader feel the pulse of psychic energy for the first time.

When the Blood Raven Captain's power sword clashed with his lightsaber, the whispers of the Warp must have flooded into Darth Vader's consciousness like a tide, allowing him to see reflections of countless parallel universes, the figure of the Emperor on the Golden Throne, and even the Chaos Gods who were outside the dimension, peering hungrily.

These broken cognitions planted the seeds of danger in Vida's heart.

At the same time, Sui Yang also sensed the temptation of the Four Chaos Gods through the broken images in his mind, like an all-pervasive venom seeping into Darth Vader's mind -

Khorne showed him a vision of regaining his honor in a bloody battle.

Nurgle promised eternal immortality in the flesh,

Tzeentch reveals the ultimate truth hidden behind the Force.

Slaanesh allows him to experience pleasure beyond his limits.
In just a few days, the once proud Sith Lord went through the entire process from suspicion to submission.

As the supreme ruler of the human empire, Sui Yang had long realized that the Four Chaos Gods had resorted to every possible means to curb the development of the empire.

“It’s really painstaking.”

The low muttering echoed in the meditation hall.

Sui Yang recalled the combat report previously submitted by the Blood Raven Company, saying that the Sith Lord named Darth Vader, if compared with his attainments in the Force, was only comparable to the psychic power of the main god of Olympus.

It is equivalent to Darth Vader who was able to use extremely strong Force before becoming a puppet of the Four Gods. He could suppress all combat forces below the Primarch and Athena and Hera. Even a swordsman master like Sigismund found it difficult to compete with him head-on, but it was still within the controllable range.

However, at this moment, the chaotic fluctuations transmitted through the dimension allowed Sui Yang to vaguely sense that the former Dark Lord had made a qualitative leap in strength after willingly accepting the blessings of the Four Gods.

The chaotic energy surging in Darth Vader's body is reshaping his essence. The immortal body granted by Nurgle, the killing instinct bestowed by Khorne, the cunning wisdom bestowed by Tzeentch, and the extreme acuity bestowed by Slaanesh, these forces are intertwined, making the strength of this Chaos puppet close to that of the top Primarchs, and even surpassing them in some aspects.

In this regard, Sui Yang considered whether to send more legions to the Star Wars universe.

But soon, Sui Yang gave up the idea of ​​sending other legions to provide assistance.

After all, Magnus, Lorgar, Curze, Dorn, and Perturabo have not yet confronted the corrupted Vader head-on. Rashly sending additional legions at this time may disrupt the existing deployment, but necessary defenses are indispensable.

Then, he ordered Apu under the throne: "Notify Athena and Hera, and order them to lead the Olympus Demigod Legion and cooperate with the Grey Knights to immediately enter the 17th Universe. Instruct the Grey Knights in particular to focus on preventing subspace pollution and curbing the trend of corruption."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After receiving the instructions, Apu respectfully agreed and conveyed the order immediately.

Athena, who was far away in the training ground, put away her spear, and the goddess's eyes suddenly became sharp; Hera, who was resting in the temple, put down the golden cup, and her elegant face showed a little solemnity.

As for Sui Yang, he turned his gaze back to the depths of the dimension.

Although the situation is serious, he has full confidence in the abilities of his offspring and is capable of dealing with the new puppets supported by the Four Chaos Gods.

Magnus's psychic attainments, Lorgar's power of faith, Curze's foresight, Dorn and Perturabo's iron defense and charging hammer, plus Athena's tactical wisdom and Hera's divine magic, are enough to deal with this crisis, not to mention that the Grey Knights who specialize in restraining Chaos have already been dispatched. Therefore, he no longer pays too much attention to the development of the Star Wars universe, and unless necessary, he will not go there to fight in person.

At this time, in the orbit of Tatooine in the Star Wars universe, inside the bridge of the Valiant-class super-heavy cruiser;

Sigismund stood in front of the center console like a steel statue, his arms crossed, and the servo joints of his finely crafted power armor made a subtle hum.

The face of the Imperial Fists commander was even more stern than usual, and the furrow between his brows was as deep as if it had been carved by a knife.

The holographic image projected on the center console is playing a nightmare from Coruscant—

In the picture, the once glorious galactic capital has become a chaotic amusement park.

Groups of stormtroopers were undergoing horrible mutations, while civilians knelt on the streets, mechanically repeating blasphemous prayers with rotten lips, and their bodies were also growing extra limbs and bones at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Suddenly, the picture shook violently.

In the holographic image, a scarlet wound appeared in the sky of Coruscant, and countless inhuman forms poured out of it.

At this moment, a small-scale psychic storm broke out, recording the final scene, frozen at the moment when countless pairs of eyes peeked out from the clouds, and then turned into snowflakes all over the screen.

The agent of the Investigation Department standing by immediately stepped forward and said, "Commander, this is the last communication forwarded by the Coruscant outpost not long ago.

After crossing the space gate, our investigation department arranged for six elite investigators and a new type of synth to infiltrate Coruscant through the local underworld organization in Jedha.

The agent said, pulling up another video, showing elite agents in civilian clothes and a synth setting up surveillance equipment in the lower blocks of Coruscant.

Disguised as spice traders, they arrived at Coruscant via ordinary cargo ships, and then used the underground pipe network system to set up dozens of observation points.

At this time, the investigation department agent continued: "According to the analysis of the last data packet sent back, the agents had just completed the laying of the intelligence network when Darth Vader's fleet broke through Coruscant's orbital defense."

At this point, the agent's voice became heavy. "After they risked their lives to send back these images, they were completely disconnected. I guess..."

Sigismund raised his hand to stop further words.

He knew too well the subtext of this report -

Those loyal investigators may have now become part of the twisted creatures in the image.

Even more worrying is that the biological signals sent back by the synths showed that before the connection was disconnected, familiar energy characteristics were detected, which was a sign of a large-scale invasion of chaos into the physical universe.

Sigismund raised his hand and waved it. The disturbing holographic image on the center console immediately dissipated into tiny particles of light. Then, he turned to the agent from the Investigation Department beside him and asked:

"Have the analysts in your Investigation Department and Intelligence Department deduced the next move of Darth Vader and his fleet?"

Hearing this, the agent straightened up and operated the center console, displaying the latest encrypted analysis report from the Intelligence Department, saying:

"Commander, based on the intelligence department's analysis of Darth Vader's past behavior patterns and the logic of the Chaos forces' actions, we highly suspect that his next target will be..."

The agent paused for a moment, "His two descendants, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa."

Sigismund slowly raised his left hand, and the bony metal knuckles lightly touched his chin.

"So," he said in a low voice, "after completely corrupting Coruscant, Darth Vader's Chaos fleet is likely to split into two groups, one heading straight for the Rebel base on Yavin 4, and the other returning to his destined place, Tatooine."

His analysis is like a sharp sword, accurately cutting into the core of the problem.

If Darth Vader wanted to completely sever his last ties as "Anakin Skywalker", these two locations would undoubtedly be the best hunting grounds.

What's even more terrifying is that a father corrupted by Chaos hunts down his own children. This twisted drama is probably the "sacrifice" that the Four Gods love the most.

Just as Sigismund was about to issue a warning order, a red communication prompt suddenly flashed on the center console.

The holographic projection automatically unfolded, displaying the exclusive encrypted communication runes of their Legion's Primarch, which was a direct contact from Dorn.

Upon seeing this, Sigismund activated the communication protocol without hesitation, and the hard light projection array above the center console immediately burst out with dazzling blue light.

The particle stream quickly condensed, gradually outlining Dorn's extremely oppressive and majestic figure.

Even through a holographic projection, the Primarch of the Imperial Fists still exudes a breathtaking majesty.

As soon as Dorn's image stabilized, his granite-like face turned to his offspring.

Dorn also crossed his arms across his chest. His voice was deep and solemn, and each syllable sounded like a hammer striking steel. He said, "Sigismund, it seems that you have grasped the severity of the situation. I have reached a strategic consensus with the four Primarchs."

The holographic image then unfolded a tactical star map, on which the location of Coruscant was marked in a glaring blood red.

Dorn's projection pointed to the fallen world: "The Night Lords and the Word Bearers will act as the vanguard and launch a surprise attack on Coruscant immediately after the reinforcements sent by the Emperor arrive."

The Primarch's finger slid across the star map, leaving a blue trail. "Our goal is to contain the spread of the warp corruption and buy time for subsequent purification."

The projection on the center console switched to the emblem of the Thousand Sons, with Magnus's mark flashing above it. "Primarch Magnus will personally lead the pursuit of Darth Vader. Every second that corrupted puppet survives, the universe is in danger of being completely corrupted."

Sigismund noticed that there was a subtle frown between Dorn's brows in the projection, an emotional fluctuation that the Primarch rarely showed.

When the star map changed again, showing the strategic defense line between the inner and outer rings, Dorn's voice suddenly became heavier: "The Imperial Fists and Iron Warriors will build a defense line on the main trade routes."

The projection of the star map suddenly zoomed in, focusing on Tatooine and Yavin 4. "These two worlds in particular, I have dispatched heavy armored support to your locations."

As Dorn spoke, his holographic figure suddenly leaned forward, and this movement caused the Primarch's image to produce a slight data fluctuation, "Remember, a careful balance must be struck between protecting civilians and preserving combat power.

If the situation deteriorates to the point where a decision is needed, I believe you will make the right decision, understand?"

"Understood, father." Sigismund punched his chest, indicating that the commander would hold his ground with all his might.
