Astonishing Wisdom!

In a small room on the third floor of an Ark Gang stronghold.

"So, you're not a bug assassin sent to kill me," said Lena, the Pontiff of the Ark Gang, frowning.

"So, you're not a Bishop of the Genestealers either?" Zhou Yun raised an eyebrow as he looked at Lena.

Lena, the Bishop of the Ark Gang, an illegal psyker, Zhou Yun sat opposite her, observing her.

There were no traces of madness or mutation on her face, and her slightly blue eyes flickered with sanity.

On her cheek, faint golden ink was tattooed with a passage:

"Rejoice, for I bring you glorious tidings."

"The God-Emperor walks among us."

Zhou Yun knew this passage was from the Scripture of the Word written by Luojia, the first two sentences of the entire book.

The book, written by this renegade Primarch, elaborated on the worship of the Emperor and his divinity, forming the cornerstone of the entire Imperium's Ecclesiarchy.

Zhou Yun had confirmed with X-ray Vision that this Pontiff of the Ark Gang was indeed a pure human, not the Pontiff of the Chicken Thief cult.

She was truly an illegal psyker who had escaped from the black ships.

But.

She seemed to have some knowledge of the Tyranid Hive Fleets and Genestealers.

"Genestealers."

Lena's eyes flickered slightly:

"A fitting name, most suitable for describing them. Is that the official Imperial term?"

Facing Lena's question, Zhou Yun nodded slightly.

"And what about those who fell from space, riding in spore pods, descending from living starships?" Lena asked Zhou Yun.

"Tyranids, the Tyranid Hive Fleet Leviathan, they are predators from outside the galaxy, seeking to devour everything they see."

"...They're coming soon," Lena said extremely quietly, her voice trembling slightly.

The air in the small room fell silent, the two staring at each other.

Zhou Yun sized Lena up, a hint of confusion in his eyes:

"It's one thing that you know about Genestealers, but how do you even know the Tyranids are about to descend upon Asphodel?"

"I saw it," Lena said, her fingertips gently brushing over the Scripture of the Word tattoo on her cheek.

A psyker's precognition? Zhou Yun blinked.

Many psykers possessed a degree of precognition, able to glimpse fragmented visions of the future.

Of course, what they foresaw was not necessarily true.

There was one in the Warp known as the Changer of Ways, who most enjoyed manipulating half-truths and illusions to lure people into the most treacherous paths of fate.

Lena noticed Zhou Yun's gaze.

She placed her hand on her flat chest and said with a hint of pride, tilting her head:

"I, Lena, have been enlightened by the God-Emperor."

"He showed me visions of the future and commanded me to save more people of Asphodel!"

"..." Zhou Yun stared intently at Lena.

How many was this now?

Including Zhou Yun himself, who had a dream from Sanguinius, the Genestealer Patriarch, the vanguard of the Great Devourer, plus Monger and Malkit, who were seemingly blessed by Nurgling, and now Lena, who claimed to be enlightened by the God-Emperor. This was the fifth one.

Were there too many chosen of Asphodel? Could it be that the great powers were going to fight an proxy war in this small Hive City?

"I was truly enlightened by the God-Emperor!"

Lena, seeing Zhou Yun's suspicious gaze, widened her eyes and said:

"I am a devout follower of the Emperor, as were my parents. I was not deceived by any Warp phantoms or Netherlings!"

"Every time I have a vision, I devoutly pray to the Emperor, asking Him to protect my mind."

As she spoke, Lena's expression became pious, and she praised the Emperor's divinity:

"I pray to the Emperor, that He may protect my soul from harm amidst the tides of the Empyrean."

"Then you must be an officially certified, legitimate psyker of the Imperium, right?" Zhou Yun asked, tapping the table.

A great silence filled the small room.

"...I was guided by the Emperor to save more people of Asphodel. I cannot leave with the black ships," Lena shook her head resolutely.

"Then you've received enlightenment from the God-Emperor, so you must be able to hear His voice?" Zhou Yun asked again.

"Enlightened, and hear voices?" Lena blinked her eyes blankly.

"Are you the one chosen by the Emperor?" Zhou Yun asked, twitching the corner of his mouth.

"I think I am!" Lena straightened her back and said rather forcefully.

"There are no traces of Chaos corruption on her," the winged figure in the white light by Zhou Yun's eye said in a low voice.

Zhou Yun glanced at him and shook his head.

Either Lena had simply seen some prophecy from the Warp, Or she, along with the white-glowing figure by his eye, were both part of Tzeentch's grand plan.

"What about you, what's your deal?"

Lena suddenly raised her voice and asked Zhou Yun with the Voice of Temptation.

Zhou Yun didn't react.

"I'm immune to that trick of yours," he said calmly.

Lena's will projected into his mind was nothing compared to the dazzling white-glowing winged figure.

The moment it was injected into Zhou Yun's mind, it was diluted in the brilliant white light.

Lena immediately deflated, leaning back in her chair and complaining in a small voice:

"I thought using the Voice of Temptation with all my consciousness while you were off guard might do something."

"Who are you? Why are you disguised as Rag and lurking around me? And why did you suddenly attack me?"

"I suddenly attacked you?" Zhou Yun raised an eyebrow. "Who told you to suddenly start shouting?"

"I thought you were a Genestealer assassin? I've been ambushed by them several times," Lena snorted.

"You thought. Are you an Ork? You think!"

"I also thought you were a Genestealer Bishop. Your propaganda is the same style as the Genestealers, and you suddenly sent someone to find me..."

"Find me?" Lena froze for a moment, blinking her eyes.

Then she had a sudden realization and smacked her forehead, saying:

"You're... Zhou Yun, right?"

"Youuuuuuuu!"

Lena vigorously rubbed her hair:

"So it's you! My looking for you has nothing to do with the Genestealers!"

"Rag told me you're good at exploring the derelict sectors, and you need work recently."

"If there's work like exploring derelict sectors, you can find you."

"I happened to have some, so I had him call you over."

"Rag told me you wanted to find me," Zhou Yun's eye twitched slightly.

So Rag was hiding things from both sides, probably trying to profit in the middle.

"That Rag fellow..." Zhou Yun rubbed his temples with a headache.

Zhou Yun even suspected that Rag had been corrupted by Tzeentch.

But it shouldn't be. Believing in Tzeentch required a certain level of intelligence.

It would be better for the Changer of Ways to corrupt an Ogre with a counting ability of ten than to corrupt Rag.

"Damn it, dock his pay," Lena also angrily slammed the table.

"So what did you want me for?" Zhou Yun asked, leaning back in his chair and looking at Lena.

"The Tyranid Hive Fleet is coming, and I have an idea to save more people."

Lena looked at Zhou Yun with a serious expression:

"I want to build a ship, load more people onto it, and escape in advance."

"..."

Zhou Yun was so shocked he couldn't speak.

He was now sure, Lena might have been deceived by Tzeentch, but she was definitely not corrupted by Tzeentch.

With this kind of world-shattering wisdom, even a Nurgling would shake its head, and Magnus would give a thumbs-up and call her an expert.
