How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 157 The Regency is not completely insulated from subspace.

When Robert Guilliman received the warning that "an explosion occurred inside the Galatan Star Fortress" on the Macragge's Glory, the time on the ship showed that it was currently midnight on the fourth clock.

There is no difference between day and night in the void, and working hours are divided artificially.On this basis, managers only need to carefully stagger the work and rest times of the staff who serve the operations of this behemoth, and they can use reasonable and healthy means to ensure that the entire starship has enough people at all times. Manpower to respond to work.

For this purpose, some clocks were set up on the Macragge's Glory to mark these artificial "time differences". Among them, the fourth clock, in Guilliman's own observation, is considered to be the most consistent with the current Fujimaru. Xiang's work schedule coincided with each other - in the middle of the night on the fourth clock, the fact that she was dug out of bed to respond to an alarm message that everyone had expected made the Imperial Regent a little uncomfortable.

Physically, she is still just a child who has not yet grown up, and may never grow up.

But one code equals another.Although he thought of this section, the Imperial Regent still issued an order to contact the Storm Frontier and summon Fujimaru Ritsuka. Just like when receiving an urgent military intelligence report, he would mercilessly recall him who had just been released. Resting naval officer alike.Then, he stood up from his seat behind the desk piled with complicated government affairs and announced that he was going to visit the scene.

He had already argued with his guards about this matter and had come to a conclusion.Therefore, after he issued this order, Hill and Sicarius, despite their obvious reluctance, slowly moved to his side together with a team of Sisters of Silence, preparing to set off together.

He wasn't going to take any more people with him for this.They were going to face another Primarch, maybe two.This matter should be kept as secret as possible, even if he brought more people with him.When facing the original body, it cannot have any decisive significance on security issues.

But strangely enough, the "explosion" that finally occurred on the Galatan Star Fortress caused a huge stone in the hearts of all those who knew about it.Under the premise of knowing that similar losses will inevitably occur, when it actually happens in reality, it gives people a sense of settlement.What Guilliman now needs to confirm is just how much damage Galatan Star Fortress suffered in this incident.

As early as when he left the cell where Konrad Curze was imprisoned, Fujimaru Ritsuka warned him that these protections were not reliable enough for a primitive who understood the nature of his subspace, let alone two.At the end of the conversation between the two of them alone in the secret room, she emphasized similar words again and said that unless the dungeon of the Terra Palace was moved to the Galatan Star Fortress, she wanted to stop Curze and Corax. This battle that "will definitely happen" is basically a fantasy.Guilliman also adjusted his strategy on this matter: from "defending strictly" to "controlling losses."Now it's time to check the final results.

They arrived at the Galatan Star Fortress through the subspace teleportation platform, and walked towards the area temporarily designated as a prison with a clear goal, and naturally encountered no obstacles.But then, Guilliman discovered that the reason for the fact that they "encountered no obstacles" was not only due to his own identity and authority, but also because when they arrived here, the whole thing was actually close. It's the end.

When faced with the condemnation of the original body himself "Why didn't you tell me the news at the first time?", Mariu, the first Chapter Master of the Ultramarines who had been stationed here as part of "loss control", S. Gage, and the twenty Cursed Ultramarines he led, quietly winced at the same time.

"At the time of the incident, violent subspace fluctuations caused the shutdown of almost all communication equipment." Relying on his strong ability to withstand stress, the leader of the Gage Chapter began to tell half-truths and half-false lies without a red face or a heartbeat. , "We only restored communications with the outside world after repairing the equipment as much as possible and after the intensity of the local subspace storm decreased."

The part about the subspace fluctuations causing the equipment to shut down is true, but Chapter Leader Gage has made some vague processing regarding the extent of the equipment shutdown.The original body may have discovered this, or he may not have, but the visible result is that he did not continue to pursue the investigation, but turned his attention back to the observation of the scene:

During this period of time, the battlefield between Curze and Corax has moved from Curze's single prison cell further down to the upper area where a large number of Night Lords are imprisoned.The vast space was squeezed by some invisible atmosphere, which made people panic for no reason. Even Guilliman could feel this strange pressure.In addition, there is a distinct smell of blood in the air.Some equipment and the walls of the cell were inevitably damaged in the battle between the two Primarchs, but only a few Night Lords escaped from it, and apparently they had no intention of continuing to escape - they all gathered in to his genetic father.

Surprisingly, Curze himself - almost unrecognizable to Guilliman, who identified the two brothers currently present through some indescribable feeling rather than his own sight - seemed to have no interest in these huddled bodies. The children under his bat wings showed a protective attitude.

That's not the only surprising part.If he had not seen the raven he thought was "Corvos Corax" in advance and was reminded by Fujimaru Ritsuka, Guilliman would never have realized at the first time that he was currently entrenched here. The two...things in the vast ruins turned out to be his brothers.

In this wave of subspace intertwined with reality, Konrad Curze has almost lost his human form.In Guilliman's senses, the place he was in was a darkness darker than black.No light can escape from it, and naturally no one knows the true nature of being shrouded in darkness—but precisely because of this, this amorphous darkness makes people feel terrifying from the bottom of their hearts.This is not information that can be conveyed by the physical senses, but information that is poured directly into the viewer's soul. The darkness is like a faithful but cold mirror, stubbornly reflecting the horror and sin in the viewer's own heart. , and seems to be slowly dragging the other party into it.

Even if he could remain calm under such pressure, the natural instinct of a creature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages forced Guilliman to look away after a brief gaze.He tried to observe his other brother, but found that Corax's appearance was not much better.Different from the raven that was "at least a part of him" that he had seen before, this Corax obviously looked closer to the original body in terms of size, but it was still the same as the pale, slender figure in Guilliman's impression. A far cry from the quiet brothers.

He had almost completely lost his power armor, and apart from the dilapidated and poorly functioning armor pieces, his whole body was almost entirely covered in pure black crow feathers, making it almost impossible for outside light sources to reflect on it.A pair of bird wings also spread out from his back, similar to Sanguinius's, but the feathers on them were also the same black.He seemed to have an entity, but this entity also changed its size erratically with the waves of nearby subspace, just like a candle burning in the dark, almost disappearing into the darkness.

"You'd better not let your ladies who serve you get too close." A distant and terrifying voice came from the darkness that represented Curze, but Guilliman tried his best to eliminate the warp obstacles. After the impact on his mind, he realized that the tone of the words sounded surprisingly calm, "The unresolved feud between the two of us is one thing, but our little brother is clearly in...a worrying mental state at the moment."

This sounds really strange to you.Guilliman couldn't help but think so, but he didn't say it.Because the following crackling, broken and blurred roar that trembled from the subspace gave the best explanation for this comment:

"I am going to kill you--"

Corvus Corax, who was wrapped in black feathers and had almost completely transformed into some kind of subspace creature, regardless of the occasion, let out a scream that shocked everyone's minds.
