The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Chapter 2752: Biel-Tan Shattered!

The echo of the new god stirred the entire Warp, twisting and raging. Hundreds of psychic vortexes spun simultaneously in the void, sirens wailed day and night over Terra, the Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes declared the outer reaches of the Imperial Palace temporarily closed, and a week-long curfew was imposed on the Eternal City. The Librarians of all the Astartes Chapters issued the highest alert, while the Inquisition and the Grey Knights mobilized en masse to investigate the cause. Billions of Astra Militarum soldiers were urgently mobilized to prepare for any potential disaster.

On the surface of a distant, barren planet, the false-Macharian raised his aged face and muttered to himself:

"Eldrad, have you finally begun as well..."

Seated on a prayer mat, surrounded by incense, Master釋 slowly pressed his palms together.

"All things are impermanent, the living must eventually die, only the unborn are immortal—"

"What's happening?"

The strange sensation came and went quickly. Soshjan looked at everyone in astonishment, but most were dumbfounded, clearly unaware of what had occurred.

At that moment, the shadow screen behind Soshjan opened, and a maid ran in hastily.

"Your Highness, Her Majesty..."

Without a word, Soshjan stood up and left.

"Veronica!"

Soshjan hurried into the bedchamber, arriving at Veronica's bedside, where Lorena and other members of the inner court were already present.

"Are you alright? What's wrong?"

He sat on the edge of the bed, holding the pale-faced Veronica in his arms with concern.

Veronica shook her head.

"It is born."

"What is born?"

"The entity residing within Yvraine... the God of Death!"

Soshjan's heart jolted. He finally realized what he had witnessed.

"Is it Ynnead has it fully awakened?"

"It should only be the awakening of an avatar I am fine, it is just that the power of the God of Death impacted the minds of the Court's citizens, and some of it fed back to me. Isha is the goddess of life, and she has a conflict with Ynnead in terms of divinity, so the impact on me is stronger."

Lorena then said softly:

"Your Highness need not worry. We have already checked, and Her Majesty and the fetus are both unharmed, just a little mentally fatigued."

Veronica raised her hand, forcing a weak smile.

"Strangely, I just noticed that these buds are blooming more vigorously."

Soshjan looked at the bracelet given by Master釋 on Veronica's wrist, and the flowers on it were indeed blooming more profusely than before.

"Could it be that this is protecting you?"

Just as he finished speaking, the maid Nystra walked in from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the Sun Warden says he has urgent business to see Your Highness."

Soshjan turned his head.

"I am with Veronica now. Tell him to come back another day."

"It's alright, I'm fine here. Let him in."

Soon, Star Disaster hurried in with a hasty gait, head lowered, and knelt on the floor, bowing deeply.

"Her Majesty is unwell, yet I disturb her. Please punish me."

"It is no matter. Matters of state are important. Tell the Prince what you must."

Star Disaster did not rise, but straightened his back and looked at Soshjan, speaking very seriously:

"Your Highness, the news has been verified Biel-Tan is shattered!" (After careful consideration, Old Mo has decided to bring this event forward. According to the official timeline, there are only a few years between the Fall of Biel-Tan in 997.M41 and Guilliman's awakening during the opening of the Great Rift in M42. However, Yvraine actually had many adventures during this time. GW severely compressed the timeline to rush things, so to make the subsequent plot development more reasonable and to revise GW's extremely poor Aeldari storyline, I have decided to bring the Fall of Biel-Tan forward by about twenty years.)

"What!?"

Soshjan and Veronica both exclaimed in surprise, and the surrounding members of the inner court and maids also showed shock.

Biel-Tan was the most warlike and skilled of all the Craftworlds, yet now it was

Soshjan then held out his hand.

"Tell me in detail, what happened?"

"Your Highness, this is all that is known so far, and it is information that I learned through the heavily disrupted psychic link of a seer and colleagues from Alaitoc. The area where Craftworld Biel-Tan is located is now shrouded in an energy storm, and no information or transmission can penetrate it."

Suddenly, Veronica thought of something and sat up.

"It was Yvraine she said she would return to her home Biel-Tan No wonder the Crone left without saying goodbye a few days ago, so she also went to Biel-Tan Is she going to stop Yvraine? Or"

Soshjan quickly understood Veronica's implication

The upheaval of Biel-Tan came from Yvraine?

Was this daughter of the God of Death choosing to sacrifice her home to awaken the unborn Aeldari god?

If that were the case, then the court would have to take a stand. Although Yvraine had been kind to himself and Veronica, and was even a good friend of Veronica's, this behavior was undoubtedly a huge crime.

After all, Biel-Tan was among the most powerful of the Aeldari Craftworlds, and its destruction would be an unacceptable loss for the entire Aeldari race.

Many thoughts ran through Soshjan's mind, and not just him, almost everyone present was shocked by the possibilities brought by this news. For a time, the huge bedchamber fell into a suffocating silence.

It was Star Disaster who first broke the silence.

"Your Majesty, the situation is still unclear and such a judgment cannot be made yet. The most important thing now is to contact Biel-Tan or determine its location, find it, even if it is only wreckage, and find out the cause and effect as soon as possible. At the same time, contact Alaitoc, Iyanden, Saim-Hann, Ulthwe, and other large Craftworlds. It would be best to convene representatives from all the Craftworlds that can be found and hold a Privy Council. The final nature of this matter must be decided by the court, and the right to deal with the relevant personnel must also be held by the court. Only in this way can things be guided in a favorable direction, preventing disputes and even civil war."

Veronica then took Soshjan's hand and said in a low voice:

"Does the legion need to deal with it? I should be alright now, and I can arrange—"

Soshjan then took his wife's hand.

"It's alright, Talos is back, and he will handle any problems. The various companies have not yet returned, and I still have time to deal with things here. Just rest."

Soshjan then stood up and turned to Lorena.

"Take care of Her Majesty, and notify me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Highness."

He then left the bedchamber and went to the Phoenix Palace to convene the Phoenix Council. Faced with the surprised and uncertain crowd, Soshjan's "Chancellor" Doral gave a brief speech. After learning of the disaster that had befallen Biel-Tan, many councilors showed considerable surprise. After all, this Craftworld had always been known for its warlike nature, so if it had fallen, it must have encountered an extremely powerful opponent.
