"Is there something I don't know about within the Legion lately? Kayan. ”

Abaddon, who had just walked out of the conference room, asked as he looked at his good helper beside him.

"Ezekell, you're overthinking."

"Really, Kayan?"

Abaddon's gaze became dangerous, but he laughed, as if Cayan had told a joke: "Really? ”

As a wizard of a thousand sons, a powerful psyker who can maintain his body under the scarlet letter spell without turning into ashes, the consciousness of mortals is like an open book in front of Kayan, which he can read at will.

But Abaddon is different.

Cayan was unable to understand Abaddon's thoughts, and over the long time they were, Abaddon had become accustomed to guessing Cayan's thoughts. The pressure of such an existence must be far beyond the reach of reason.

"It's your job to tell me the truth, Kayan."

Abaddon clenched and opened the giant claws on his arm, staring into Kayan's eyes and saying. The glow of his golden twin children seemed to shine through his eyes into the depths of Kayan's soul.

Azerkell Abaddon is a superb warrior who has everything he needs to be a successful war leader in the eyes of fear, but he is not flawless. You have to be cautious at all times when dealing with him.

The fury that made him an unequaled warrior was always burning within him, ready to erupt at any moment. And it was clear that his patience was almost exhausted.

"It's just rumors, Ezekell."

"Kayan." Abaddon's voice came from his throat, low and like a roar, full of threat. It sounds more like the jaws of a beast than from a human's mouth.

The claw blades in his hands scraped against each other in a dry grinding sound.

Under this threat, which amounted to an ultimatum, Cayan finally confided the full truth to Abaddon.

When the rumors first appeared, Kayan also tried to refute them.

But when Cayan discovered that the Chaos Space Marines in the Eye of Fear thought that it was Horus who led the Black Legion at this time, and a large part of the Chaos Gang, thieves, and bandits actually had the idea of joining the Black Legion, he slightly promoted the spread of rumors behind his back.

But all this could not be hidden from Abaddon. As an ordinary space marine, Abaddon was able to achieve the name of a war commander, and he was by no means like an orc, just punching with his fists.

As a war commander and leader of the Black Legion, Abaddon always revealed only a part of the information he had. He placed eyeliner all over the Eye of Fear, dividing it into different areas and sending messages directly to him.

The spread of rumors was already known to Abaddon. Even Abaddon himself contributed to it. But he could not tolerate Cayan's concealment.

"The way you look at me is full of suspicion. Sorcerer. For you are afraid, afraid that I will fail you, just as our fathers failed us. ”

Abaddon's words left Cayan speechless. He was talking exactly what Kayan was thinking, as if he were just reading an article on a page of parchment.

And this idea did not only appear in Kayan's body, the thoughts of many warriors in the Black Legion gradually became the same in a series of events.

Can Abaddon really lead us to overthrow the Empire?

After the Fourth Black Expedition returned to the Eye of Fear, Abaddon fell into a coma, his presence seemingly fading.

Although Abaddon has now awakened, he is still back in charge of the Black Army. But it is undeniable that his missteps and injuries have had a great impact on his leadership prestige.

And in recent contacts, the warriors of the Black Legion have been able to detect that some kind of spiritual energy like an appendage is slowly burning in Abaddon's blood, constantly eroding him.

This made Abaddon easily distracted and listless, and depression and bitterness began to appear in his golden eyes.

At this time, the Black Legion has also become extremely weak after experiencing the Fourth Black Expedition and the ravages of the Orcs.

Some of Abaddon's cronies began to feel uneasy about the state of Abaddon and the Black Legion at this time.

Not to mention them, even Abaddon himself has been briefly wavering lately.

He was permanently wounded by Sivir, the regent of the Human Empire, and his ability to fight was affected. The Black Army has also suffered a heavy blow recently.

And that's not all, as the technology they had at their disposal had already begun to deteriorate in the era of the Great Rebellion, and there were few alternatives available.

And with the rise of the human empire now, it is extremely risky to go to a certain imperial world to "fight the autumn wind".

But in subspace, important resources such as mineral-rich satellites, shipboard foundries, and mechanistic production facilities are as valuable as clean water. Legion warbands are endlessly scouring these areas, frantically scrambling for all useful supplies.

These resources are all the more valuable after the orcs from nowhere launched an attack on the planets in the Eye of Fear.

The warriors lacked ammunition, and their armor was damaged and cracked, and after a few repairs, it was damaged again. Compared to the human empire, they are often equipped with old weapons that are old and unreliable, as well as inefficient and outdated combat equipment.

And in fact, the condition of the battleship was worse than that.

Every time a ship is strengthened by mutation, another ship is cursed by mutation, and every time a cruiser sails to the stars with a breathtaking repair or full hull, there is a memory of the past when another cruiser is reduced to a mere empty hull.

While mutation and hatred have given the Chaos Space Marines new powers, corruption, withering, and civil war among each other have caused the Black Legion to consume far more than they gained.

Those battleships that have been in service for many years are constantly suffering from the erosion of subspace in the eyes of fear, and only by extremely rare chance can the Black Legion allow the capital ship to undergo full dock repairs.

In the Eye of Fear, a fully functioning and stable dock is a dream artifact. But for the human empire at this time, a dock is nothing.

The empire of humanity is thriving, but the Black Army is weakening.

For a moment, for a moment, Abaddon even placed his hopes of subverting the empire on Chaos, and he almost succumbed to the whispers of the subspace in his ear.

And that's exactly what the Black Legion's top brass feared. They feared that Abaddon's thirst for power would make him just another puppet of Chaos like the Primitives.

In order to prevent this from happening, when they realized that the name of Horus could unite the Chaos Space Marines who had suffered from the orc disaster at this time, not only did they not organize, but silently promoted those rumors that damaged Abaddon's reputation behind their backs.

They knew that a black legion that had reunited many warriors was much more important to Abaddon than anything else at this time.

As it was, after realizing the strength of the Human Empire at this time, Abaddon knew that he had to unite all the forces that could be united.

But that doesn't mean he can tolerate his men making decisions behind their backs, and at this particular moment, Abaddon needs them to follow his orders more than ever, rather than making decisions privately.

"Proud and wise Yonskandar Kayan. Do you really feel like I need your help, brother? Do you think I'm really vulnerable enough to be the next victim, like our deceived fathers? ”

"No, I still have an aversion to those who claim to be gods, and I will not let the madness that took possession of Horus end up in my head and turn me into a smug but deceitful skin, just as he did at the end of his rebellious career!"

"I will take revenge on the Empire, on my own strength!"

Abaddon stared out into the half-lit void between the stars of the Eye of Fear, his voice rough and hard. His firm words were not only a statement to Kajan, but also a warning to himself.

An indomitable Abaddon reappeared in front of Cayenne. When he saw Abaddon's grim eyes, Cayan promised him.

"Then I will witness the fulfillment of your will."

...

...

The Spirit of Vengeance sails somewhere in subspace.

In a world where navigators are driven helplessly mad, most ships can only sail to the sea of tormented souls, hoping that the whims of the gods will send them to a new hunting ground.

But the ships of the Black Legion are guided by those who possess psionic gifts and great skill. Abaddon valued wizards and did everything necessary to recruit them under his command.

In addition to guiding the warship, some wizards can also play an even more important role.

For example, Cayan, as Abaddon's butcher's knife and killer. Or Mauriana, a prophet. In addition to being known as the Prophet of the Black Legion, Maurianna has many other nicknames, such as the Weeping Lady, the Oracle of the Marauders, the Mad Female Prophet, and so on.

It was with the help of Morriana that Abaddon launched the first black crusade against the Empire and obtained the magic sword Dracnien.

Her prophecy was important to Abaddon.

Therefore, even if Abaddon had his warriors find out the news elsewhere, and some of the wizards in the Black Legion had already made a prediction, Abaddon still had to communicate with this Moriana.

"Great Abaddon, here again to ask old Morianna."

Mauriana laughed.

"I know what you're here for, the Empire is indeed in crisis."

"But, it's not just the human empire, it's the crisis of the entire galaxy. Whether it's humans, orcs, spirits, even demons, or even those dark gods, this is their common crisis. ”

"The Great Devourer is approaching, and he will devour everything that comes his way."

...

...

Beyond the outer edge of the galaxy, there is nothing but endless darkness.

Beyond the lonely lone stars gliding in the cold night, over the debris of a long-dead world and billions of years ago when rivers collided, over the probes launched by the genocide that cannot be traced...... Beyond it all, you reach the Netherworld, dotted by the brilliant islands of light of distant star clusters.

As vast as it may be, it is not pure emptiness. The behemoths of the abyss are lurking here.

In the eternal night, a wave of energy many times faster than the speed of light suddenly lit up; A brief flash of light lasted only a few milliseconds, radiating from an unnamed vortex.

This glimmer has not gone unnoticed.

In the darkness, the infinite hunger that has been dormant for eternity is ready to move. Millions of cold, vigilant eyes noticed the light and set in motion the process of conveying the stimulus. The task is over, and the eyes are inactive.

The entity that audited the reporting information didn't even really wake up. Following instinct, its vast consciousness analyzes the signal in the dream, comparing them with the characteristics of what it seeks.

Prey.

Slowly and relentlessly like a glacier, the Great Devourer changed its needle path.

...

...

When Sivir learned of Magnus's warning through Calassa, he immediately asked the administrators of the Sentinel Array if they had found anything unusual. The managers on the Sentinel Array responded that everything was fine.

However, this did not reassure Sivir's heart.

Since the four gods of chaos can detect crises, of course, the emperor also has such abilities. Previously, it was only the Emperor who focused most of his energy on the plans that the Empire was working on, and did not pay attention to anything else.

When the Emperor showed Sivir the endless alien form that was rushing towards the galaxy, even Sivir felt a little bad in his heart.

Although the Sentinel Array did not find any anomalies, in subspace, those powerful beings had already discovered the threat from beyond the galaxy.

This is a crisis that can destroy the entire galaxy.

Realizing that humanity was about to face an unprecedented war, Sivir immediately ordered a series of plans of the empire at this time to speed up.

At the same time, the Empire's military factories began to manufacture weapons of war on a large scale, and the expansion plan of the Space Marine Legion began at the behest of Sivir.

The dockyards of the Empire were constantly on the move, and one warship after another sailed into the starry sky.

And in this tense atmosphere, those psionic beacons that had already begun to be built were finally completed ahead of schedule at the urging of Sivir.

A complete psionic beacon that illuminates the way for our ships in subspace, and could eventually be used for other purposes. Our psykers have been immersed in immense energy and are eager to reach the full potential of this facility.

Through the psionic beacon's relay device, the psionic beacon can rotate subspace energy, which can then be captured and collected by the giant psionic relay equipment such as the psionic beacon, which can then be used as an energy supply for the psionic beacon, or use this energy in other places.

But this was never the purpose of Sivir's psionic beacon. Sivir wanted more than just a beacon, a tool that could illuminate the course in subspace.

What he wanted was a psionic beacon that would be like a torch, that would prevent demons from entering the real universe, and that would have all sorts of other incredible effects.

So, after the completion of the Psionic Beacon, a top-secret plan began to be implemented under Sivir's orders.
