"...?"
Even Jonson would inevitably be confused by the term 'Great Rebellion'.
Although he expected that Elaine might mention some secrets about the Word Bearers, or secrets about those iron men, to restrain his determination to destroy Colchis.
But, the Great Rebellion...?
Zhuang Sen didn't quite understand.
However, it was not that he failed to understand the word's apparent meaning: an act of mass rebellion.
On the contrary, Jonson is very aware of the meaning of such words, and is on guard from the bottom of his heart for all star areas in the human empire where rebellion may occur.
Especially Guilliman's Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar. If the ambitious leader of the Ultramarines wanted to start a rebellion, even Jonson would feel a little troubled.
"Yes, it's the one you thought."
"In short, in the not-too-distant future - the human empire will face an extremely large-scale rebellion crisis."
"The destruction of the Word Bearers' perfect city and the confusion of Luojia are the key to opening this 'chapter', the prelude to opening Pandora's Box -"
Elaine stared at Zhuangson with a smile, watching the lion's eyes gradually change from blank to alert, and then to cautious.
Since the so-called "predicting the future" trick cannot completely fool this shrewd lion, it is better to speak openly from the beginning.
What's more, she also likes to see her primarch brothers showing their true nature when they are not as majestic and arrogant as before.
"And I suppressed it so that we could better prepare ourselves for a crisis."
"It's just..." Elaine said, turning her attention to the two fleets that were facing each other on the star map. "It's not very stable. Of course, it's due to some people's credit."
"Of course, I don't mean to blame you. In fact, it's only natural that you would react this way. It also symbolizes that the future I know is 'corrective' to some extent. , or 'inevitability'..."
"You have already seen those 'enemies' who promoted the rebellion in the maelstrom."
Before Elaine could finish speaking, Zhuang Sen suddenly interrupted her speech.
Elaine looked at Zhuang Sen in slight surprise, but only saw unprecedented determination in his dark green eyes intertwined with wildness and reason.
It was as if there was some kind of instinct that was guiding him to question himself.
"...It seems that I don't need to explain the 'source' of this information."
Elaine sighed, it was obvious that Zhuang Sen's extraordinary beast instinct could accurately find the node linking everything from a lot of complicated information.
The Emperor's hatred of religious beliefs, the erosion of the Warp energy as the Maelstrom recedes, Colchis awash in psychic energy and iron men, and what the Imperial Truth has to contend with.
When all of this is linked together, combined with the Chaos pollution that Jonson himself had seen in the jungles of Caliban, the true enemy of the Imperium of Man can be easily revealed - Chaos.
Whether it's the great rebellion Elaine mentioned or the Word Bearers' unique position in the human empire, they can be easily combined with each other in the face of such an indescribable and strange enemy.
However, this level of information sorting speed is quite reasonable for the Primarch.
only…
"I think Luo Jia is not qualified to start a major rebellion."
"Although his legion has been divided... but annihilating them all is not a problem."
Faced with the dangerous topic raised by Elaine, Jonson gave his opinion indifferently.
Although there was no mention that the Legiones Astartes might be in a state of danger from now on, and that the Emperor's trust in the First Legion might diminish, these were never part of Jonson's considerations.
His loyalty to the Empire was always evident and he never questioned his actions.
In Jonson's view, even though the Empire of Man is now in crisis, it has not reached the point where it will collapse internally - unless the Emperor hands over all the power to control the Astartes Legions to another person, and another person A person must be corrupted by the power of Chaos and have a very high prestige to lead to the kind of huge rebellion that Elaine said.
Obviously, this possibility is almost insignificant.
It's not that it's completely impossible, it's just that the conditions are too harsh - so much so that even a cautious being like Zhuang Sen feels that such conditions are really difficult to achieve.
However, it's not that Jonson doesn't believe that the Legion will rebel.
Regarding this point, he had indeed thought about and speculated whether there would be Legions of Astartes betraying the Human Empire in the future, and secretly marked the logistics worlds and home planets of the various legions in order to prepare for the future. A critical node to extinguish these dangerous fires in time.
In the eyes of this Caliban lion, the gears of history are not static and dead objects, but huge storms that may trigger a spiral of crisis at any time and at any time - any small opportunity is enough to turn into a disaster. A terrible crisis in a star region or even a star field.
The specific manifestation...probably Zhuang Sen has always maintained a high degree of vigilance towards the Thirteenth Army.
As for the Word Bearers…
Although it was not that he looked down on Luojia, Zhuang Sen did not believe that the Word Bearers' rebellion would have such a significant impact on the human empire that it would trigger a major rebellion of extremely terrifying scale.
Moreover, the Word Bearers' rebellion alone would never fit in with the major secret Elaine wanted to express.
"Don't deny it so absolutely, my brother. Although Luojia's legion cannot start a terrible rebellion, his legion can bring one of the most terrifying weapons to the empire - faith."
"This is something our father hates and is eager to eradicate...and you also mentioned the things behind it. Those things are the enemies of the human empire."
Hearing this, Zhuang Sen's eyes immediately turned full of expectation.
He was eager for the other party to give corresponding possibilities so that Colchis and Luojia could be dealt with in time.
And Elaine naturally knew what Zhuang Sen was thinking, and the following words failed to satisfy him:
"For now...those enemies cannot easily infiltrate their minions into the real universe. And I have cut off many of the enemy's minions and tentacles in advance, and transformed the weapons [Word Bearers] they prepared for the human empire into Weapons against themselves."
"To be precise, actually... I'm not here to dissuade you from destroying Colchis, Jonson."
"I'm just here to give you two choices-"
"Should you use the enemy's weapon to consume the enemy? Or break this weapon and prepare another one yourself?"
Facing Elaine's smile, Jonson fell into silence.
It was clear she knew from the start.
I would choose both.

I caught a cold recently during the change of season... I got facial paralysis and couldn't close one eye completely. Although it is gradually getting better, my eyes are still very dry and tired when typing...I am really sorry for missing so many updates!
