Extreme star field, Baal star system.
The great fleet composed of the Emperor's Dream and the Thousand Sons Legion cruised quietly in space.
In the event of the Phalanx losing contact, Imperial Prime Minister Malcador had made adequate plans on Terra.
Since the signal has been monitored by the empire, it doesn't seem so panicked.
However, the Emperor personally led the fleet and the Thunder Warriors who had completed the transformation to the star field where Alexander was predicted to appear.
At the same time, it was also for Magnus, who had returned to the Empire, and the Thousand Sons Legion to find a way to solve the physical mutation.
Due to their over-affinity with the subspace, the flesh-and-blood mutation of the Thousand Sons Legion cannot be suppressed.
This is an unavoidable situation brought about by their affinity with the chaotic power of subspace.
The third eye on the forehead of the Imperial Astropath is also an external manifestation of psychic affinity.
However, the Astropath's stain on the Warp was washed away and purified by the Emperor's hot and pure psychic power.
They were blessed by the Emperor, and the spiritual interweaving had a stable anchor point, so there would be no deformed sarcomas or other things.
If Magnus were allowed to purify the stain, whatever mutations brought about by the nature of the subspace would remain intact.
The Emperor must have the ability to resolve the flesh-and-blood mutations of the Thousand Sons Legion.
But in order to complete the Great Crusade as quickly as possible, the Emperor would not use his precious time to solve the problems of a Legion.
After all, apart from the Thousand Sons Legion, he still has many legions that are good at fighting.
"Father, this is a powerful energy, a wonderful power. Only you and I can master it, others only make weak use of it."
"If we can study it and let the Thousand Sons Legion master it, it will definitely make the empire stronger and complete the Great Crusade faster."
Magnus rattled off his insights.
From the moment the Emperor retrieved him, Magnus realized that he was unique and set apart from his other brothers.
He is powerful, he is full of wisdom, and he has power that other brothers have never experienced.
"Magnus, you not only inherited my psychic power, you also have the same stubbornness."
The Emperor didn't even want to turn around and glance at Magnus, but still threw himself on the experimental table to study his great plan.
The Emperor actually had a very clear understanding of himself, and he was clearly aware of his problems, but the only thing missing was time.
Since retrieving Magnus, the Emperor has taken him to many star systems and seen dozens of worlds infected by the power of the Warp.
But Magnus stubbornly believed that the disaster was caused by their failure to fully master psychic powers, and that those worlds were not as good as Magnus.
The Emperor once even revealed all the power and dangers of the Warp, but all he got in return was stubborn nagging.
Originally, the Emperor simply let him develop on his own, but he saw his own evaluation in Alexander's mind, 'Magnus' stupidity'.
He had to find Magnus again and spend more time to avoid regrets.
However, in exchange, Magnus thought that the Emperor had changed his mind and recognized him.
"Magnus, your brother has greater talent and power than you, and the solution to the Thousand Sons Legion's flesh and blood mutation problem lies with him."
The Emperor seemed to have thought of something, paused with his arm holding the experimental equipment, turned around and stared at Magnus and said solemnly.
"You are not unique, Magnus. You are my stupidest son, but even so, I will not give up on you."
The red Magnus' face showed disbelief, fear, pity, and helplessness.
The originally chattering mouth finally closed, and he found a corner in the Emperor's Dream Laboratory, lowering his head and whispering words that only he could hear.
The emperor's ears finally no longer had the nagging opinions of a three-year-old child, and even the sword was much lighter.
Thinking about it, anyone who suddenly has a bunch of noisy children around them will not want to talk and refuse to communicate after a long time.
In fact, the Emperor initially looked forward to what Alexander would become in the Warp.
When he saw a blazing sun in a prophecy, the Emperor realized that he could use Alexander as an anchor of stability.
That way, he wouldn't have to spend time cleaning up the stain of the Astropaths or the Thousand Sons in the subspace.
By putting the tasks on others, wouldn't you be able to have more time to study the things you like?
Unfortunately, the quiet atmosphere in the laboratory only lasted a few minutes.
In the dead space outside the porthole window, there were sounds of shattering glass.
Magnus, who was hiding in the corner and muttered, suddenly stretched his nose and took a sniff.
"Father, the subspace barrier is breaking, and I smell powerful psychic power."
Magnus squeezed next to the Emperor again, holding the experimental table and looking out the porthole.
"Your brother is about to arrive. Watch carefully and see what the subspace you are looking for is."
The emperor also put down the things in his hands and looked at the porthole together.
Space debris peeled off piece by piece, and the red halo was refracted into the material world.
The dense subspace rifts were like honeycombs, and the Phalanx fleet was like locusts passing through, breaking through the cosmic barriers one after another.
At the same time, the crack reflected many subspace evil objects, such as the void whale and the figures of many secondary gods, as well as four kinds of lights that flickered.
Mortals with weak psychic abilities or even no psychic talents would only feel palpitations even when facing the subspace rift at this time.
Magnus, the Emperor, and the Astartes warriors could feel disgust and disgust.
That's a natural repulsion.
"The subspace is like an ocean tide. When the tide rises and falls, some unexpected chaotic garbage will appear on the beach."
"And you, Magnus, plan to take everyone swimming in this smelly pool and ignore all the evil things lurking below the surface."
The Emperor took off his gloves, and Magnus suddenly surged with psychic power in space.
A large net composed of psychic energy followed the Phalanx and enveloped the entire warp rift.
The evil things that wanted to enter the material world pounced on the Internet and bit into it crazily. Ghosts intertwined with the sarcoma, and the disgusting smell filled Magnus's nose.
That kind of desperate madness and disgusting body made Magnus clearly realize that this was pure chaos and disorder.
"There are not only these weak creatures in the subspace, but also many monsters that are so powerful that even the empire needs to treat them with caution."
The Emperor's psychic powers only held off for a moment, and Magnus immediately filled the gap with his own psychic powers as soon as he regained consciousness.
On the other side, Constantine Valdor led the Imperial Army and had already controlled the fleet to target the gradually shrinking subspace rift.
The light spear that lights up the silent night space, the dazzling beam of light pours into the fleshy mass composed of subspace creatures.
In just an instant, countless evil objects evaporated and disappeared.
However, they would soon be reborn in the tides of the Warp.
