Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

【Eternal Yellow Weasel】: "Hey!"

【Eternal Yellow Weasel】: "It wasn't intentional. It's just that the people around you happen to be your chosen ones. There's Titus, and I think that Astral Army Sergeant Sevis is also a promising talent. I was planning to give him a blessing if he survived."

【Eternal Yellow Weasel】: "And that Kaul, I assigned him a task ten thousand years ago when he was still an apprentice. It was all to ambush you and spy on you, so please forgive me."

[I don't want to pilot Unit-01]: "Sigh."

[Unwilling to pilot Unit-01]: "It's not that I can't, but you have to tell me what's going on first. I can't be completely clueless, can I? How can I endorse him if I don't know anything?"

【Eternal Yellow Weasel】: "This is simple, let me explain it to you."

【Eternal Yellow Weasel】: "The thing is, ten thousand years ago I unintentionally predicted that the future empire would be short of troops, and the one who made up for this problem was Kaul."

【Eternal Yellow Weasel】: "Replenishing the Empire's military strength is a highly treasonous act. Even if it were a Primarch, if a single Primarch did such a thing, it would be suspected and feared that he was planning a rebellion, let alone a member of the Cult of Mechanics."

【Eternal Yellow Weasel】: "So I told him then, 'Karl, it's okay. You'll do some incredible things in the future, but don't be afraid. I, the Emperor, will vouch for you. Don't doubt yourself, just go for it!'"

【Eternal Yellow Weasel】: "So during these ten thousand years, Cole boldly made a deal with my thirteenth child, Guilliman, to create an upgraded version of the Astartes, that is, the original Astartes, just waiting for Guilliman to awaken so that he could bring out that group of original Astartes."

【Eternal Yellow Weasel】: "It just so happens that you are here now, so he can move out those original forged materials that were placed in various places in the Misty Starfield in advance and put them directly into the Battle of Cardia, which greatly enhances the strength of the Empire. This is a great thing."

I understand.

The weasel explained it quite clearly, and Shinji Ikari immediately understood. It turned out that this Kaul was a great loyal subject of humanity and the Empire, who had been working tirelessly for ten thousand years to accumulate the Empire's power, while enduring the danger of being called a heretic and having treacherous intentions.

This is such a pitiful yet respectable and kind person!

Shinji Ikari's eyes suddenly

Zi suddenly became sharp-witted, grabbing the mechanical hands of the big guy, Caul, and patting his chest with emotion, saying, "I know, it's just about the original Astartes, right? Don't worry, I'll vouch for you, you can immediately release those troops to support Kadia!"

"what?"

Kaul was completely dumbfounded.

No, according to his mechanical eye analysis, this new prince was completely clueless about the secret he was talking about at first, and didn't make any connection to it at all. Moreover, his expression of not knowing or being familiar with his thirteenth prince, Guilliman, was something that couldn't be faked.

But how come he suddenly realized it after only a few seconds, and confessed everything in front of that Sergeant Sevis, Titus?

Such a huge secret, enough to cause the inner circle of the Dark Angels to fight each other to the death, has now been revealed to the world. Is this prince a real tiger? Doesn't he have any fear at all?

“You…” Kaul couldn’t help but ask. More than getting permission, he was curious about how His Highness knew. “How did you know my secret? Do you have the highest level of mind-reading ability?”

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't be asking!" Titus was tense. Everything about the Primarch was top secret, and it was his responsibility as a member of the Royal Guard to prevent the Primarch's information from being leaked.

"Oh, it's okay, it's not a secret anyway."

Shinji Ikari scratched his head and blurted out, "I don't actually have the power to read minds. It's just that I asked the weasel directly, and he told me that this mission was given to you ten thousand years ago."

"—"

System crash.

This includes not only Caul, but also Titus, the Star Guardians, and even the hundreds of millions of native inhabitants on the Forging Planet who are frantically flocking to the Primarch's location.

Every single one of them seemed to have been knocked unconscious by a thud, standing there dumbfounded, their eyes wide open, staring straight at Shinji Ikari.

Their bodies were frozen, their eyes were glazed, and they all looked like rag dolls, yet it was as if every cell was trembling and burning to the extreme, with a dynamic force like a supernova explosion hidden in their stillness!

Although Kaul deliberately kept his voice as low as possible, Shinji Ikari did not; his volume was normal and could be heard by the native Mechanicus members who were blocking the way outside the Royal Guard.

The news was so significant that the self-control programs of every member of the Mechanicus who heard it immediately went out of control. Once it was spread, everyone knew about it in an instant.

"you……"

His voice sounded like he was drooling. Such a loss of composure should never have happened to a superhuman like Astartes, but Titus trembled. He couldn't believe it, and his reaction was just like that of ordinary people.

"You mean... Your Highness, you mean you can easily contact the Emperor in this hazy star field, countless light-years away from Terra, right here on this planet, and he will immediately answer your questions?"

"Yes."

Shinji Ikari tilted his head. "Is there something wrong with this?"

“No, that’s not right…” Titus murmured.

This isn't about right or wrong at all; it's absolutely impossible for this to happen!

He is the second company commander of the Ultra Warriors family, a man of considerable experience who has studied the materials and history of the Zero era.

Therefore, he certainly knew that even in the era when the Emperor and the Primarch walked together among the stars, there was very little communication between the Emperor and his offspring.

Aside from spending thirty years alone with the traitorous Warmaster Horus Lupecal, other Primarchs often found it extremely difficult, almost impossible, to see the Emperor; they would only meet with him if the Emperor wished to.

Later on, even the shameful, traitorous warlord Horus, who had fallen into chaos, found it difficult to meet with the Emperor.

The emperor's face was so precious that his descendants could count on one hand the number of times they had the opportunity to see him.

However, now, in this age when emperors have already sat on the golden throne.

You're telling me there's a Primarch who can see the Emperor whenever he wants, even when he's not on Terra. If there's anything he wants to know, the Emperor will immediately give him special instruction via psionic communication, answering his questions and imparting countless pieces of knowledge.

Including those secrets from ten thousand years ago and plans that continue to this day, it's all because the Primarch met Kaul and wanted to know what the secrets Kaul was talking about were, and the Emperor immediately told him the details.

Titus couldn't even imagine how much the Emperor favored this Primarch, and how much hope the Emperor placed in him!

His status among the Primals is so noble and special, and the love between father and son is so profound that perhaps only Horus from ten thousand years ago can be compared to him.

No.

Comparable to, compared to?

Hmph, a mere thirty years of solitude, he must have been far surpassed by Prince Shinji Ikari. How could Horus Lupecal possibly compare with Prince Shinji in terms of the Emperor's attention and care for him!

"By the Emperor!"

The tens of millions of people who had initially fainted upon seeing the original body's face, after being awakened by others, immediately fainted again, their faces filled with shock and blissful smiles, feeling only...

He received a blessing comparable to returning to the Golden Kingdom. (Latest chapter of Mitsuba-ya)

Although the others hadn't read the history books of 0 like Titus, they at least understood that with twenty-one Primarchs, the Emperor couldn't possibly show the most favor to each one or keep a constant eye on them; otherwise, there wouldn't have been an intelligence gap during the 0 era that led to the rebellion.

The treatment that Prince Shinji Ikari received was undoubtedly the most exceptional among all the Primarchs!

Moreover, according to this theory, although they didn't discover it, they actually witnessed the Great Primarch communicating directly with the Emperor.

What kind of cleansing is this?

Having witnessed this scene, none of their hundreds of millions of descendants, for at least countless generations to come, would ever fall into depravity and become wicked. They would dedicate themselves to the empire until their dying breath. They were born holy, a sacred family that had witnessed the Primarch's communication with the Emperor!

They are already more noble than some of the Terra Lords, and even the Terra Lords have no right to question their loyalty!

The only surviving newcomer to the ranks of the local elites felt a long-lost surge of emotion, a feeling so intense it nearly made him foam at the mouth. (Salted Fish)

In such a short time, he received far too much stimulation: a Primarch, a True God Machine that resembled a clone of Omnesia himself descending to earth, a secret mission personally assigned to him by the Emperor on the body of the Great Sage Caul, the unheard-of Primarch Astartes, and the Emperor's real-time on-site monitoring.

Any one of these events would be a momentous event that would shake the entire empire on ordinary days. Now, all of them have been brought out at once. It turns out that life can be so extravagant!

"I have been far too disrespectful to you, great Primarch. Thank you for your presence. This entire world is made sacred by your arrival. It just so happens that the Great Sage has died, and his place is the most worthy place for you on this planet. Please go there to rest!"

The local sages were incredibly obsequious, like dogs, practically barking.

"Uh no..."

Shinji Ikari shook his head. He wasn't tired yet. With the two gods, Lilith and Adam, residing in him, his endurance was much stronger than when he was still an ordinary person. "I didn't come here to rest. Instead, you should rest for a day, take stock of your forces, and lend me your strength."

"I came here to borrow troops so that you can help rescue other planets that are still suffering."

Upon hearing this, the local sage was immediately filled with righteous indignation and a sense of duty. His mechanical face instantly blazed with a surge of justice and passion, as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

“Serving the Primarch is serving the Emperor and the Empire. What is there to borrow or not borrow? From the very first second you arrived here, this has been your direct forging world. Prince Shinji, you are being too polite. I will immediately take stock of all remaining personnel and weapons and equipment. I will not dare to delay you for even a second longer!”

"But before that, please understand that it will take some time to count these troops and arrange them into your Redemption Expedition forces. Please accept our hospitality first, please!"

He really wanted to improve.

Kaur, watching from the side, shook his head. "Look at him, so impatient. No wonder he's only a sage and not a great sage. He hasn't even reached the pinnacle of his sycophancy yet. Sigh, young man."

We haven't even figured out the Primarch's preferences yet, and we're already rushing to entertain him. What if there's something the Primarch dislikes? That would be a disaster!

However, he didn't have time to give the young sage any pointers. He was just a little shocked. He knew that the more the Emperor valued this new Primarch, the more terrifying the Cadia campaign was. Abaddon's Thirteenth Expedition was no joke and might create a new order in the galaxy.

So even with the Primarch and his permission, the 100,000 Primarch Space Marines he will release from various parts of the Misty Starfield will likely face an extremely difficult battle.

As Kaul walked along, thinking to himself, Shinji Ikari finally couldn't resist the local sage's invitation and was invited to be a guest, so he followed along.

As he was calculating, trying to get more information from the Primarch and ask him to tell the Emperor's opinion on the Battle of Cadia, he suddenly heard a terrifying scream.

Was that the Primarch's scream?

"An assassin?!"

Kaul immediately snapped back to reality. Could it be that the Chaos Gods had sent assassins to kill the new Primarch so quickly?!

But when he looked up, there were no assassins at all.

The Primarch screamed, his mouth agape, pointing at the three things lined up to greet him.

Those three things are the servant, the cherubim, and the servo skull.

Chapter 00 Weasel, did you play poorly this time?

The local mechanical sage was the first to be arrested.

The moment the Primarch cried out in alarm, Titus roared and captured the sage without a word. The others immediately pounced on the suspected servants and other personnel who had come to greet him. Some Astronauts who dared not approach but had spontaneously gathered at a distance to defend the Primarch immediately patrolled the surroundings.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

When the local sage was almost completely destroyed, he was completely dumbfounded. Wait, I didn't see any assassins, and why are you arresting me? What could I, an ordinary sage, possibly be suspected of plotting against the Primarch? I was too busy being respectful to even think about it, and I certainly didn't have the ability to do so.

However

This wise man, Mr. Coul, is capable, but he is also not without suspicion. Why not arrest him?

Oh, right, this guy was just certified as someone the Emperor entrusted with important responsibilities and is a trustworthy ally.

Damn it!

"No, no, no, don't take it apart!" Feeling the power of Titus intensify, the local sage was about to lose his soul. "It's not me, it's not me! I was waiting to make a contribution to the cause and see if I could touch the Primarch's first Divine Machine up close. How could I be so foolish!"

That makes sense, but right now, everyone except their own bodyguards is a suspect!

Titus's eyes were sharp as he controlled the suffering local sages while anxiously looking at the Primarch, his gaze filled with concern and inquiry.

What exactly happened to Prince Shinji?
