I am the magnetic field maniac

He conquered a thousand worlds in just seven years, and the ultimate military force was the prerequisite for all this...

However, the result of excessive pursuit of efficiency is instability of the conquered local world regime.

Let’s not talk about the tragic War of the Successors after Macharius’ death…

The resources Terra later spent just to quell the rebellions in those thousand worlds and build pro-Terra political systems on them far exceeded those spent on Macharius' expedition.

Since then, the empire has hardly carried out any expansion activities.

Politics is indeed dirty, but that doesn't mean that expanding territory without calculating the cost is something worthy of praise.

Guilliman knew that the enemies the Imperium faced were many.

But precisely because of this, he needed to cut power away from the Empire, let the Primarchs rule their respective territories, establish relatively independent star cluster systems, and then watch over each other until the internal systems of their respective regimes were repaired, and then decide whether to unify.

Of course, he also knew that it would be more difficult to integrate the split power.

But they are the Primarchs, with almost endless lifespans, and they have enough perseverance and time to accomplish all this!

"You are looking into the future." Chagatai said calmly

"Guilliman, you are looking ahead to the future after our victory. That is very vague, and now is not the time to discuss it."

"Perhaps so." Guilliman sighed. He looked at Corax with an expressionless face, Angron who looked indifferent, Jaghatai who remained silent, and Lion who had already made his choice.

——It’s really good that Dorn is not here.

Guilliman thought silently in his heart.

142. Emperor, you must be the Diva!

Of the loyal Primarchs who could return today, Guilliman was the only one suitable to be Regent.

In other words, he is the only one who can be everyone's "Emperor" in politics and power.

Just like the idea of ​​dividing the Primarch that he proposed, there were only two loyalists who were capable and qualified to refute him - Lion and Dorn.

Jaghatai and Leman Russ never care about such things. Corax has the ability but his character means he won't be the leader of the change. As for the other Primarchs... I believe Angron and Fulgrim are in no position to talk politics with Guilliman.

Guilliman knew that in the absence of the stubborn Dorn, as long as he recruited the Lion, he would be the one who had the final say. As long as the Lion agreed, no matter how unorthodox his actions were, they would be acceptable!

Just like when he founded the Second Empire, this guy Guilliman is so timid in doing things... But once he makes up his mind to do it, he is extremely courageous.

But the bombing of Terra was really not his plan. Perhaps he had intended to let Leon face the High Lord and then force his blood pressure to rise and finally surrender to him... But he did not expect things to develop to this point.

Anyway, no matter what, the thing has been done, and the division of the empire is a foregone conclusion.

These Primarchs had angered all the forces of the Imperium except the Astartes at once, but as long as the Emperor spoke, everything would be fine.

Guilliman had every confidence that the Emperor would adopt his approach.

After all, the Second Empire was done in accordance with the Emperor's instructions.

"Our father never cared about the Empire but about humanity... If humanity can build a better future for the galaxy, the existence of the Empire will not be important."

Guilliman continued

"Of course, we will go to meet with our father. Only he is qualified to judge whether our approach is correct. But brothers, I hope you can look to the future and think about the common development path for us and mankind."

"I disagree with you, Guilliman. But if that is his opinion, then perhaps I will stay here as Dorn has."

Corax was silent for a moment, and only replied...

Neither agree nor disagree, this is the best answer the Crow King can give.

"Hahaha, praise the Lord of Change, I didn't expect my brothers to do better than me!!"

At this moment, Magnus suddenly burst into wild laughter. The Scarlet King's one eye looked at Guilliman and Lion sarcastically and said viciously...

"What a great change, Guilliman, Lion, you two are the chosen ones of Tzeentch! Just split the empire and destroy it. You don't need us to do anything, you can do it yourself-"

"Shut up, traitor!"

Leon slashed Magnus' mouth with a sword, looked at him coldly, and said...

"You will spend the next period of time alone with me. Magnus, believe me, you will know where Curze and I are most similar."

"Magnus, repent!"

Leon wanted to do something, and what happened next was an indescribable R18G-level scene.

But no one would have any objection. Magnus deserved it no matter what. Even Chagatai just casually added...

"For my sake, Leon. Don't kill him. He'll have to clog the toilet."

The group returned to Macragge's Glory again, and as another Queen of Glory-class ship arrived in Terra's orbit, another large fleet arrived in the Sea of ​​the Sun through the Webway!

"We are becoming more and more like Horus."

Chagatai looked at the huge alien fleet and said quietly...

"We blew up Terra, discussed how to rule the Empire, and then brought alien ships to Terra. If this gets out, I think our reputation might be worse than Horus's..."

At this point, he glanced at Guilliman and shook his head...

"This is what my father meant. Since he thinks it's okay, let's do it." Guilliman said with a guilty conscience.

He paused, glanced around, and saw no sign of Angron. He frowned and said...

"Where did he go?"

"Angron? He went to see his alien war lord friend." Corax said faintly

"He also said he wanted to ask them to record a video and send it to his father or something..."

……

"Old Bacon, and your golden corn, you don't have to make a scene for me, I'm in Terra!"

In the Terra Palace, outside the throne room, a communication video that was transmitted through an unknown channel appeared in front of the Imperial Guards Marshal Trajan.

Trajan, who had just led his brothers to repel a wave of invasion by magnetic field demons... was now retreating to the inner wall of the palace to rest. He and his brothers in the imperial guards were watching the strange video in front of them with frowns.

It was a seemingly ambiguous scene, with only three people in the picture. One was the traitor Angron, and two were humans they didn't recognize... but they were all wearing capes and vests, and their clothing taste was very bad.

These three guys were pointing at Trajan or maybe even the emperor on the other side of the video, performing a very provocative performance art.

Angron was in the middle, introducing the people next to him in an arrogant tone...

"Who is this person to you? You'll see, you dare to go against him!"

Blood Shark took a step forward with Kane's sword, pointed at the emperor opposite him and said arrogantly...

"I have two words for you. Come to Terra. I'll be waiting for you."

Angron then began to introduce another person next to him.

"This one is even more important! The Everqueen! We three are here, so you, the State Religion, the Inquisition, and the Custodians, all of you, please step back a little..."

"Come on, give him the whole job!"

"Fuck, go, ignore!"

Trajan watched this performance art video and then turned it off with a blank expression...

But he didn't expect that this inexplicable provocative performance art would be sent again immediately, and it was another email through the Custodian's counterintelligence system - it was still Angron, who was still provoking the Emperor and the Custodians...

"Emperor, you are the singer!!"

"Remember what I said, I'm going to scold you in the Terra Palace!"

Trajan read it again, and after confirming that the Imperial Guard Inspectors had discovered a secret spy device belonging to Hei Douya in the palace, he immediately sent another one.

The Imperial Guards Marshal's expression instantly turned grim, and the inspectors who were responsible for investigating and finding loopholes in the palace looked even more grim.

Not only because the traitor had openly insulted the Emperor here, but also because of their serious dereliction of duty.

"What's going on? Are those traitors outside Terra now instead of loyal primarchs?"

The captain of the shield guards beside Trajan couldn't help but frown and asked, and Trajan looked at him... and as Angron next to him said blasphemously, "I'll rip the toilet off you," he said in a deep voice...

"Robert Guilliman, Lion El'Jonson, Jaghatai Khan, Corvus Corax, I am sure that the four loyal Primarchs returned to Terra. As for Angron, whether he is loyal or not is not the question, but he did meet my Lord..."

Although the Imperial Guards hide in the palace to protect the emperor, it does not mean that they are blind.

On the contrary, their intelligence system may be the most powerful in the galaxy.

The Imperial Guards do retire. When any of them finds that their reaction speed has dropped a little...

Even if there is only a second, they will take off their armor without hesitation and think that they are no longer suitable for this responsibility.

However, the retired Imperial Guards will not return to civilian life. They will only put on black robes and enter various parts of the galaxy to become the "Emperor's Eyes", and go to various parts of the galaxy to deliver all kinds of intelligence to the Imperial Guards.

The Guards already knew the information about Angron...

They even contacted the shield captain who came out of Trazyn's museum ten thousand years ago and learned all this -

This is also why the Imperial Guards did not show any reaction when Terra was attacked like this... Not only because they understand their responsibilities, but also because they know they don't need to worry too much...

"Report on the damage in Terra."

Trajan decided to ignore Angron, who was provocative like a clown, and instead asked for more important information...

"Sixty-two point three percent of Terra's surface has been completely scorched, and the fortress city's defense system is close to complete collapse."

Breathing heavily, the Emperor's Eye, who entered the palace from somewhere in a black robe, reported in a low voice:

"The Terran Senate is within the attack range, but the high lords are all in good condition - but the remaining manpower on Terra is basically finished."

Trajan nodded slightly on his old and weathered face. This was undoubtedly extremely bad information... The large-scale destruction of Terra not only represented the collapse of the empire's vitality, but also represented the disappearance of many precious things that had been passed down for thousands of years.

But the loss is still within the acceptable range - in fact, the thoughts of the Imperial Guards are very similar to those of Leon...

They also believed that there should not be so many churches and luxurious buildings on Terra for the rich and powerful to live in.

Even most of the Imperial Guards were born into noble families on Terra...

But the moment they became the Emperor's guards, they gave up their attachment to the past.

Moreover, the most precious things on Terra are always in the palace... whether it is the Forbidden Fortress, the Deep Cage, or the Sanctuary Library... these truly dangerous and high-value items are always stored inside the palace.

As long as these things are intact and have not been released, Terra's losses will still be within an acceptable range.

Of course, this is only from the perspective of the Imperial Guards. For others, even the High Lords...

They still considered the items they had collected outside the Imperial Palace on Terra to be indispensable treasures of the Empire.

Trajan would not condemn Leon, not because he was the Emperor's son but because he did the right thing.

Though Terra had burned, the Astronomican had been reignited, Chaos had been dispelled, and even those troublesome magnetic demons were in retreat.

Apart from the Emperor, there was nothing else in the galaxy that they needed to care about passionately.

"The High Lords Council is trying to get in touch with us." The Emperor's Eye said faintly.

"The High Lords, led by Minister of the Interior Talion, tried to persuade us to launch the final anti-rebellion plan, and to issue a rebellion document to the imperial worlds throughout the galaxy through the Astronomican, calling on them to return to Terra to fight the rebellion."

"Don't pay attention to them." Trajan said calmly

"The High Lords' Council system lasted for 10,000 years, but it came to an end when the Primarch arrived on Terra. There is no need for us to care about them anymore, nor do we need to fight another Siege of Terra."

"The High Lord Council system was established by our Lord!" said the Captain of the Shield Guards in a serious tone.

"Lord Trajan, can we assume that you are denying the will of our Lord!"

"Not a denial, Suppilulius." Trajan looked at his brother and said calmly...

"All decisions will ultimately be made by our Lord, and before that our only mission is to protect our Lord from harm. Everything else must give way to our duties, even including maintaining our Lord's orders to stay."

Trajan did not curse anyone, but he made all the guards present so ashamed and angry that they remained silent.

Because what the Grand Marshal of the Guards meant was that they were no longer strong enough to protect the Emperor from the power of the Primarch.

But that's what it is.

The Custodes are perfect humans designed by the Emperor himself, possessing knowledge and talents covering all aspects of human society.

From writers to architects, from engineers to scientists, their genes are perfectly regulated... and their lifespans themselves are the closest to the peak of humanity in the Golden Age.

But unfortunately, in the face of the rotation of the magnetic field, it is nothing!

Absolute violence can easily destroy all complex and beautiful things...

As for the Imperial Guards, whose magnetic field power and psychic ability are both considered defects by the Emperor's will, to be honest, they are already outdated.

Not to mention the Primarchs, the Custodians could hardly even protect their Emperor from those magnetic field demons.
