"Welcome back to Keha, Chief Renault, and Lady Kerrigan." On the starport of Keha's orbit, Matehorner, who has become a vice admiral of the Tyranid Empire, greets his old boss.

After the Rangers and the Tyranid Empire officially cooperated, Matehorner joined the Tyranid Empire's Navy to serve the Emperor at Valerian's sincere invitation and Renault's tacit approval.

Thanks to his outstanding command skills and the large number of vacancies left by the removal of Actturs' loyalists, Matehorner was quickly promoted to Vice Admiral to command Valenrian's Yumoyan fleet, and he is now one of Valerian the Great's team.

"Hey, Matt, how are you doing?" Renault took Kerrigan's hand, the carapace on her body was actively transformed into the same as the ghost agent's harsh environment combat suit, except for the color difference, and the bone wings were also disguised as concealed.

"I've been doing well lately, and the only regret is that I don't know when I'll be able to attend your wedding with Ms. Kerrigan." Matt said as he looked at the two who were holding hands.

Hearing Matt's words, Kerrigan's face flushed slightly, and then moved closer to Renault.

"You'd better marry your Mirahan first and think about me, Matt, you know it's not the time for us to get married."

"Well, Valerian the Great is waiting for you at the palace, and so is the Lord Horus." Matt shrugged his shoulders, his relationship with Mirahan was a mess, and he didn't know when he would be able to get on the right track.

In the palace of Augustgrad, Valenrien meets Kerrigan and Renault, whom he has not seen for two months.

"Pardon my offense, Miss Kerrigan, you don't seem to have changed much." Valerian looked suspiciously at Kerrigan, who was almost identical to before except for the color of his armor.

"You can try, little Valenrian, I'm very different from what I used to be." Kerrigan moved her wrist.

"There's no need." Horus walked over, "Kerrigan has evolved, she is only one step away from becoming a Sarnagar, and as long as Aurus performs the Sarnagar ritual with her, a new god will be born." ”

"Then why don't you start the ceremony right away?" Valerian immediately asked.

"Once the Aurus launch ceremony, the minions of the Dark God in the entire Koplu Star Zone will be felt, and we alone will not be able to protect Kerrigan and Orus under siege." Horus shook his head.

The Wolf Shepherd opens a star map detailing the military deployment of the Morbius Foundation within the Tyranid Empire.

"This is the Morbius base in the Empire, and their leader, Dr. Naruod, is a servant of the Dark God, and the entire Morbius Foundation is our enemy."

"It can't be, Dr. Naruod is a conscientious scientist, and the Morbius Foundation has always been a peaceful research organization." Valenrian countered that he, as an investor in the Morbius Foundation, could not have believed such accusations.

"Unfortunately, what I said is true." Horus presented another piece of evidence, "Dr. Naruod, also known as Samir Duran, worked for the UED as a special adviser to the UED during the United Earth Council's attack on Koplu, and then he established the Morbius Foundation under the pseudonym Dr. Naruod to study insects and astral spirits. ”

The evidence that Horus presented was so comprehensive that all aspects of Narud were documented, including evidence of research hybrids and alien infestation.

The fact that a human who had been infected by a foreign insect is now able to reappear in human society in a grand manner proves that there is something wrong with Naruod.

"Well, I'll investigate the Morbius Foundation." Faced with such a piece of evidence, Valerian didn't say anything more, although he was curious how he got his hands on it.

"Now we have a certain initiative, before I took away part of the energy of the dark god, it is impossible for Emon to recover and enter the real universe without ten years, take this opportunity for the two of us to step up preparations." Horus walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window.

"The Expeditionary Force is leaving the Koplu Sector temporarily, and there are humans from other worlds in urgent need of our help, and the Sages of Clariant will stay here to continue to work with you, and the rest is up to you."

Valerian and Renault looked at each other, they had no expectation that the Ashen Expeditionary Force would leave suddenly, and although Aemon's forces had died down for the time being, they were still hiding in the shadows waiting for their master to wake up.

"The Ash Expeditionary Force aims to eliminate aliens, evil gods, and other forces that threaten the survival of humanity, and now that the threat to the Koplu Star Zone has been temporarily resolved, then I will deploy my troops to other worlds."

"Moreover, Kerrigan is now strong enough to stand up to that so-called Dr. Naruod, and I think you should be able to deal with Aemon's minions without the support of the expeditionary force."

"And when are you leaving?" Renault asked.

"Three days later." Horus said that in three days, it would be time for the sages of the Order of Mechanics to repair the power system of the Sarnagar World Ship.

The oversized ship was so advanced that it took the Sages months to activate the energy system, and there was no room for further repairs, and the dockyards of the Tyranid Empire could not handle the World Ship.

So Horus intends to pull it into World 2077 after barely activating the power system of the World Ship, which is less than half the size of the Mountain Formation (2,300 kilometers diagonal), and it is impossible to repair it without decades or even hundreds of years and sufficient industrial strength.

After spending two days in the palace, Horus took his flagship to the Tyranid Empire's collaboration laboratory with the Expeditionary Force, where the Sarnagar Worldship was parked.

Grand Sage Clecisis is in the final steps of activating the worldship's engine, and the crystal prism obtained from Tadarin, neither the plasma engine nor the solar furnace can power such a large worldship, only the zero-point energy engine can drive this big guy, and luckily some of the missing components of this engine can find a replacement from the star spirit.

When the Crystal Prism was installed in the Zero Point Engine, the entire complex powertrain was set back into operation, and the cabin, which had been kept dark for hundreds of thousands of years, was illuminated again.

"The power system has returned to normal, the energy peak has reached 75% of the projected, and the world ship is ready to sail." An electric monk reported to Horus.

"Very well, Great Sage, assemble the fleet, and let's get out of this sector for a while."
