After Supreme Grand Master Diego gave the order, Heaven's Judgment Fortress projected a device roughly half a kilometer long.
It split amid arcs of electricity, forming four Blackstone Obelisks.
It was a Warp device developed on the basis of Necron blackstone technology, and it also contained a trace of a C'tan's power.
The Imperium named it the Blackstone Rift Generator. Not only could it counter psychic power to a certain extent, it could also establish passages suitable for human navigation, avoiding the Chaos Storm.
Once the Blackstone Obelisks began operating, light that made the beings of Chaos tremble rippled through the Warp, and more waves slowly spread into its depths.
This region began to undergo fission, as if an invisible pair of hands was tearing the void apart.
"Great Savior, we humans now possess such might as well, able to impose the power of the Imperial Truth upon the Warp—"
Kovan looked up.
An ugly rift gradually appeared in the endless firmament of the Warp, like a scar, so terribly familiar.
"That scar brought mankind too much suffering. Our brotherhood lost too many brothers because of it as well."
Pedron walked over.
Memories surged in his mind, and his heart could not help but shudder. It was a scene no Imperial warrior could ever forget.
Whether it was this Grand Master of the 5th Brotherhood or Kovan, both clearly remembered what kind of disaster had befallen the Galaxy at the beginning of the Imperium's 42nd millennium.
That day, the Imperial gateway world Cadia fell, and strange, brilliant light flooded the heavens of the Galaxy, visible from any civilized world.
The evil of Chaos tore a scar through the Galaxy that ran across the Imperium, and countless hideous daemons poured out from within it, drowning one civilized world after another.
