Major Risjako saluted Chang Wei, then stood at attention and replied, "Warmaster, I do know something about their current situation."
"Major, please report truthfully. I am listening." Chang Wei stood in front of the desk with his hands crossed, waiting for the other party to continue.
"Yes! Warmaster. After several months of investigation, we found that Zhong Kai may have disobeyed your orders and led the Ninth Fleet, along with the instigated Guilliman, into the Warp, which is strictly prohibited by military orders."
"They first captured the fortress planet of Brigantion IV, located near the Eye of Terror. They defeated the Chaos rebels there and slew the Chaos Lord Maneus Dras."
"Afterwards, they left behind the Ultramarines and some mortal auxiliaries to garrison Brignanium IV. I led the main force into the Eye of Terror. During this investigation, we encountered a lot of resistance. The Ultramarines loyal to Guilliman refused to cooperate with the investigation, claiming that the Warmaster was not qualified to command the Regent of the Imperium!"
"Due to their extreme lack of cooperation, we have exercised our authority as Overseer and are preparing to call in the Imperial Inquisition!"
"Seeing the talks were about to collapse, they suddenly attacked and imprisoned us for nearly a month! It was only with the arrival of the Third Fleet and the Space Wolves that we were finally released. Currently, Brigantine 4 has been taken over by the Third Fleet and the Space Wolves. The Ultramarines offered no resistance, and even after being taken away, detained, and interrogated by the Inquisition, they still refused to reveal a single word."
"So, combining all the intelligence we have now, it's very likely that Commander Zhong Kai of the Ninth Fleet and Guilliman are plotting something. And their journey into the Warp must be related to it. However, the Warp is filled with too many complexities and dangers, so we haven't rashly entered to track them. But we can be sure that they have remained there to this day and have not returned to the real universe."
Chang Wei frowned after hearing this, then glanced towards the shadows in the room and asked, "What do you think?"
Palpatine, dressed in a black robe and like a wizard, slowly walked out of the shadows and gave Chang Wei some advice.
"Zhong Kai has rebelled! He wants to throw himself into the arms of the evil god, ascend to a demonic realm, and gain even greater power! Guilliman and the Ninth Fleet are his tokens of allegiance; perhaps they have already been corrupted. Think about it, Zhong Kai has always had a strong desire for power. If an evil god promised him something, he probably wouldn't refuse..."
Palpatine stopped talking at this point, leaving Chang Wei to his own imagination and judgment. Only a leader who has experienced betrayal by his brothers can become more decisive and ruthless, and more in line with the goals of his loyalty. Hehehe!
Chang Wei's eyes instantly turned cold, filled not only with disgust at Palpatine's suspected attempts to sow discord, but also with irritation at Zhong Kai's potential betrayal. However, Palpatine's loyalty was unquestionable; no matter how disliked he was, he was still a formidable opponent. And while Zhong Kai was his brother, if he truly chose to betray him, he would not hesitate to kill him personally.
Just as everyone was waiting for Chang Wei to make a decision, Matt Horner's anxious expression came from the communication screen on the desk.
"Oh no, sir! We've been receiving a flood of distress signals! Something's pouring in from beyond the galaxy! It could be the Tyranids, but...it might not be entirely..."
"What's going on? Matt, is the Tyranids invading?" Chang Wei, whose thoughts were interrupted, asked immediately.
Just as they were talking, a huge figure stretching for several light years, accompanied by an endless swarm of insects, began to bar their terrifying fangs towards the entire galaxy!
The multiverse swarm—the Scourge-level biological unit—Jörmungandr! Immediately bring "Twilight of the Gods" to this fragile galaxy!
