At the same time that Kasgar led the Sons of the Phoenix to confront the Leviathan Tyranid Fleet on Baal.

At the same time, another tentacle of the Great Devourer, the Kraken Tyranid Fleet, was intercepted by the Eldar's Craftworld Iyanden.

Their destination was precisely the main target of the Leviathan Hive Fleet — the Leviathan and Kraken Tyranid Fleet must not be allowed to merge under any circumstances.

If these two Tyranid Fleet were to learn each other's genetic evolution modules, the power of the Tyranids would increase exponentially.

Despite the Craftworld Aeldari on the Iyanden doing everything in their power to resist the invasion of the Tyranid Fleet, they were quickly brought to the brink of extinction by the almost endless swarm of Zerg.

In the moment of crisis, the Void Fleet from the Corsairs arrived just in time. With the help of the Pirate Princess Yriel, the Tyranid Fleet eventually fled in panic after being unable to withstand any more losses.

The Craftworld Aeldari and Corsairs are related by blood, and Princess Yriel, Pirate Princess, was born in the Craftworld of Iyanden.

After this battle, it was Yriel ultimately saved Ynnari Ark, a fact that even the most stubborn Eldar Prophet to admit.

Ultimately, she was reinstated as commander of the Iyanden fleet.

But the good times didn't last long.

Compared to the victory, the losses suffered by Ynnari Ark were far too great; almost no survivors on the Craftworld were able to witness the arrival of dawn.

Iyanden is now a complete ruin made up of the graveyards of the dead Eldar. Its former glory has vanished, and the death of four-fifths of the Eldar has allowed the [Wraithconstruct] to take their Eldar.

Iyanden became the only Craftworld where the dead outnumbered the living.

--As if taking advantage of the fact that the Yriel fleet was weakened in the fierce battle with the Zerg swarm and was preparing to spread corruption throughout the galaxy, one of the Nurgle plague legions, led by the Nurgle Daemon Prince Gala Gore, was launching an attack on the Craftworld Nurgle.

The battle was extremely intense—in the Yriel, although Irelia successfully killed the Daemon Prince, if it weren't for the timely arrival of Lyris and Evrene with their Wych Fighting Cult to save Yriel, both sides would have perished together.

But after that, just when Lyris, Evrene, and Yriel were at a loss, the mysterious Shadowseer Veil Walker Sylandri Veilwalker approached them.

The Shadowseer told Yriel that Kasgar had been reborn, but he wished to keep a low profile within the Imperium of Man for the time being.

Even if Yriel wanted to help them, her Eldar identity would only create greater chaos within the current Imperium of Man.

The weakened Imperium of Man could not withstand another civil war—cooperating with the Xenos would only make them appear as traitors to humanity.

(Unless you are Lord Regent Guilliman)

He then showed them what might happen—well, it looked rather eerie.

Then, the Veil Walker sent them on a difficult mission.

--Kill and resurrect Roboute Guilliman, Lord Regent of the Imperium of Man.

From the Eldar's perspective, Guilliman, being a demigod, would find it virtually impossible to kill and resurrect his opponent.

Especially now that relations between the Eldar and humans are equally tense—although Yriel does indeed need humans as human shields to withstand the monsters and demons that roam the galaxy, both humans and the Eldar see each other as part of these monsters and demons as well.

The overwhelming Nurgle army swept through human territory with unstoppable force, proving to be far beyond the capabilities of the existing human race.

Without Guilliman uniting humanity's power, the entire eastern galaxy, including Guilliman himself, would fall into the hands of Chaos.

It would be dangerous if that time really came.

--The Mark, although Evrene and the others thought it might not be feasible, they ultimately decided to give it a try.

Invade Macragge directly and attempt to resurrect Primarch Roboute Guilliman!

"Xenos Invasion!!!"

Prince Ultramar, Ultramarines Company Commander Severus Agemman (almost the least noticeable Company Commander), was almost powerless against a team composed of Corsairs and the Lelith Wych Fighting Cult.

Chapter Master Calgar fought valiantly against the Behemoth Tyranid Fleet on the front lines, while Second Captain Commander Sicarius led his troops to Baal to support the Blood Angels. Even most of the Ultramarines stationed in Macragge were dispersed to deal with the threat of the Nurgle's Demon Army.

Beset by internal and external troubles and with depleted military strength, Company Commander Agemman lost his duel with Lelith.

For a document administrator who has long been handling the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar and almost all of the Extreme Star Zone, it is still a bit naive to fight the Arena Queen one-on-one.

Soon, with the help of Harlequin Troupe that appeared out of nowhere, Evrene and Lelith passed through the surging Blue Smurfs and rushed into the famous Macragge landmark—the hall containing Guilliman's Stasis Field.

"Evrene, we don't have much time."

As the Eldar stormed her Arena Queen Lyris warned, "There are still endless waves of soldiers pouring in. Go and awaken the human demigods; I'll hold them off here."

Human demigod

In fact, Evrene was not happy to participate in this trip.

As a Craftworld Aeldari, she had heard the story of Roboute Guilliman, the ferocious Mon-keigh who made Eldar children afraid to cry at night, since birth.

With their exceptional farming skills and zero-tolerance attitude towards Xenos, humanity's glorious seven-thousand-year regency era also represented a dark age in which the Eldar lost almost all of the galaxy's resources to humanity.

If it weren't for the infighting between humans and Chaos, which allowed Tzeentch's Daemon Primarch Magnus to successfully put him into a deep sleep, the darkness of the Eldar's future would have continued.

She didn't have a good impression of Guilliman, this human demigod.

She saw the enormous humanoid creature encased in Power Armour —clearly not as slender and graceful as the Eldar, but merely acting out of habitual brute force and instinctual impulses.

Uh... a little girl?

After shutting down the Stasis Field and peeling back the helmet armor covering Guilliman, Evrene found only a little girl whose size was extremely disproportionate to the Power Armour.

Is this Guilliman?

Is this really Roboute Guilliman, the Mon-keigh demigod described by his fellow Eldar as having killed countless Eldar, destroyed numerous Craftworld, and allowed humanity to control the entire galaxy with the same ferocity?

"No, it should be him. How can he be so adorable?"

"Yes."

Kasgar listened to Guilliman's narration and nodded repeatedly. "Hmm? How come you've become so cute?"

"Not yet!!!"

"It's all because of that idiot Magnus!!!"

When Guilliman touched on this painful topic, a few tears actually welled up in the other person's eyes.

Perhaps because Magnus was in a state of complete soul—in addition to possessing the ascended power of the Daemon Primarch —dealing with Guilliman, a Psychic Power Muggle, was a piece of cake.

So much so that when Magnus, who lacked martial ethics, fought Guilliman one-on-one more than three thousand years ago, he did not kill Guilliman despite having the upper hand in the duel.

The wise Magnus knew that he could not kill the Son of Vengeance completely at this time.

Pushing Guilliman too far will only result in the Emperor himself possessing him and descending upon Magnus. At that point, Magnus will have no choice but to kneel down and call him "father."

However, in order to curb the development of the Imperium of Man, he had to ensure in this battle that Guilliman would never again be able to rule the entire Imperium of Man as Lord Regent.

Therefore, faced with Guilliman's rage, Magnus used his extraordinary wisdom to devise a better way to deal with him.

"Bro, I hope you'll like this!"

After that, the Primarch Honor Guard, who had hastily broken through the encirclement of the Tzeentch Daemon, were almost entirely dumbfounded.

Oh my god!

Primarch! Primarch! He's turned into a little girl, and not only that, he's unconscious!

This!

What should we do?

--Searching for information in the Codex Astartes.

!

The holy texts do not specify what measures should be taken when the Primarch transforms into a little girl!

Upon returning to the Macragge Library and re-examining all versions of the Codex Astartes, only to find none of them addressed how to deal with the situation, the Ultramarines were thrown into chaos.

Perhaps it was a matter of genes, or perhaps the Father of Genesis temporarily forgot to mention this in the Codex Astartes. Without Guilliman's guidance, the Ultramarines didn't know how to handle the situation.

Never mind.

No matter what, such explosive news must not be leaked.

The glory of the Ultramarines must be earned.

Defend!

To ensure that this explosive information would not leak out and threaten the Lord Regent's authority, the Ultramarines had no choice but to store him inside their Power Armour and preserve him with Stasis Field, only announcing to the public that Guilliman had been ambushed and seriously injured by the enemy.

Aside from the successive Ultramarines Chapter, no one knows this top secret hidden deep within the Ultramarines Chapter.

Guilliman was only brought back to consciousness by Evrene and Lelith's intrusion, using a dagger imbued with the power of the Eldar's New Phoenix King.

"And then what? Evrene took you out of Macragge, and then with the help of the Emperor's power, you were teleported to Pamelia?"

"Um."

Lord Regent Guilliman seemed extremely displeased with her situation.

First, he was carried out of Macragge by a Xenos that appeared out of nowhere, who kept saying "So cute." Then, he was possessed by the Emperor, a "non-god" Psychic Power who had been teaching him the Imperial Truth, and brought to this planet.

Then he learned that the Ultramarines, due to the Codex Astartes, had been unable to form a proper legion for a long time, and could only suffer repeated defeats against the Nurgle Daemon and the Death Guard.

Then, in this embarrassing state, Kasgar was encountered and mocked by his brother-in-law and acquaintance from the Great Crusade ten thousand years ago.

"Ah!!!"

Guilliman, no, he should now be called Loli-man.

I'm getting anxious.

Then--

She aimed her claws at Kasgar and frantically scratched at her face!

"Aww!"

Perhaps due to her younger age, Loli-man is now clearly somewhat emotionally unstable.

His way of expressing anger is also completely different from that of a normal adult male who has lived for thousands of years.

At the same time, Loli-man wasn't the only one who erupted.

[Kasgar!!! How could you say someone is cute?! Waaaaaah!]

[Uh, Fulgrim, this is your own brother!]

[I don't care! You just can't! You can only say I'm cute, okay? You can say you're cute too! But you're not allowed to say anyone else is cute!]

[Oh my, so in your eyes, Kasgar can only like you? But I think he said other people are cute before -- if you have the guts, take a look at this Psychic Power illusion, but don't be so heartbroken you faint!]

[!]

[Kasgar!!!!!]

Countless explosions erupted near Kasgar's head in an instant, like a grand, chaotic massacre exploding right near Kasgar's forehead.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Even though Kasgar repeatedly called for a halt to the events involving these beings who no longer resembled the Primarch Superman, it had no effect whatsoever.

It was the same chaotic mess as before.

"Keep making a scene!"

"If you keep causing trouble, I'll get Lady Yuton to deal with you!!!"

!

For some reason, perhaps because it awakened a deep-seated fear within young Guilliman —in any case, after Kasgar brought out Euten, the Loli-man who had been nearly driven to rage and wanted to fight Kasgar one-on-one suddenly quieted down.

So, what should we do now?

"Guilliman, how much of your former strength can you still maintain?"

Kasgar looked at Loli-man, who had mostly settled down, with a hint of helplessness. "It's impossible that she didn't retain any power at all, right?"

He originally thought that the awakened Primarch would be a huge boost in both his appeal and combat power.

Unfortunately, no.

Not only was the Primarch's power completely sealed away by Magnus's evil magic, but even after being resurrected by Eldar, Guilliman's body remains extremely fragile.

Aside from the occasional flashes of Emperor blessing emanating from her body, Guilliman is now just an ordinary little girl.

This has left the Primarch, who utterly despised the Lorgar and the Imperial Cult, only able to wield the power of the Emperor God.

The world is collapsing for Loli-man now.

We must find a way to break the curse as soon as possible!

"Kasgar, I know your flames once lifted the curse on Sanguinius and the others—"

This is why Guilliman summoned Kasgar after discovering that he had awakened and infiltrated his Ultramarines team.

Guilliman even went so far as to tell him that he had now become Loli-man!

Otherwise, even if you challenged him to a one-on-one fight, he wouldn't reveal the truth about how he became a mortal little girl.

Bear!

The Psychic Flame spread completely over Guilliman's body, but for some reason, the Psychic Flame that Kasgar usually used to cure diseases were ineffective on Guilliman!

"Not working?"

"Kasgar, you must not be using your full strength yet, right?"

Seeing that her last glimmer of hope had also failed, Loli-man looked at Kasgar with almost pleading eyes, her eyes glistening with tears.

To be honest, she really is kind of cute.

"Could it be because Magnus also possesses countless restorative spells?"

Kasgar speculated that since the kid had personally tested his Psychic Flame, he was likely already prepared for this purifying power.

Therefore, he chose to purify Guilliman just like Kasgar did—only the purification was done a little earlier, resulting in Guilliman now lacking Primarch-level combat power.

Even his prized paperwork skills were impossible for him to perform because he was too young!

One spell crippled Guilliman!

Magnus's move was ruthless.

"Now you're saying you're Guilliman? Forget it, I doubt anyone'd believe you."

No one, not even a person with a modicum of common sense, could possibly believe that the little girl before them was the resolute, courageous, powerful, and wise Lord Regent Guilliman.

Even if the probability of her being the Emperor Incarnate is higher than that of Guilliman, a staunch defender of the Imperial Truth.

After all, in the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, Guilliman was an absolute advocate of Imperial Truth.

"However, in my opinion, your current situation might win you even more favor from the people of the Imperium."

However, judging from the current situation, morale may only rise in some unconventional areas, and will only decline the rest of the time.

For example, when he was mercilessly mocked by the Nurgle's die-hard veterans.

"Still making sarcastic remarks? Do you have any good ideas?"

"I do have another option—since you don't want the limelight right now, and I need the Ultramarines and the people of the Imperium to build momentum for my future return to Terra."

"--Do you want to return to Terra?"

During Kasgar's pauses in speaking, Loli-man seemed to overhear the topic that concerned her most.

"You... you want to become the new Imperial Regent?"

In her incredulous tone, there was a look that contained relief, comfort, and pity.

Logically speaking, such an expression should never appear on the face of a little girl who is about ten years old.

"Okay! It's a deal!"

She placed her hand heavily on the shoulder joint of Kasgar's Power Armour (the outer armor was too high for her to reach).

"This matter is entrusted to you, Kasgar. You truly are a talent the Emperor values!"

"I believe in you; you can definitely achieve your dream of saving Terra and reviving the Imperium of Man!!!"

Good!

This matter is now in your hands!!!

"Hey! Don't run, Guilliman!!!"

"Come back here right now!"

Pamelio, outside the city.

"What are you laughing at, you skinny guy?"

On the construction site where the workers were clearing the ground, a burly foreman directed a question to the tall, pale-faced construction worker beside him.

Although this guy was extremely tall, he was very thin, perhaps due to illness, and his complexion was not very healthy.

However, those on the front lines fighting Nurgle can't worry about all that, as long as there are no infectious diseases.

But seeing that he was quite tall and strong, the foreman took him in.

For some reason, ever since that Living Saint girl possessed by the Emperor paraded through the streets, this skinny guy has been laughing every now and then.

"Nothing."

He raised his face, which was fitted with a unique respirator.

"I was just thinking about some happy things."
