Completion of the Reconquest

"Maintain the highest level of alert, Master."

Guilliman solemnly instructed, "Continue to monitor all unusual Psionic Energy fluctuations, especially subtle signs related to the corruption of Nurgle."

Your vision is of utmost importance to us.

"Yes, sir."

After seeing off the Grey Knights Grand Master, Guilliman turned his attention back to the strategic star map.

The temporary concealment of Chaos did not make him relax; on the contrary, it prompted him to further accelerate the pace of integration and conquest.

Over the next three months, Guilliman demonstrated absolute authority and astonishing efficiency as Imperial Regent and Primarch.

Guilliman is absolutely the strongest Primarch in terms of Primarch.

He was no longer just a military leader, but the supreme ruler of this territory.

The reclaimed world was quickly incorporated into a new management system that was directly accountable to the Macragge's Honour.

Guilliman personally selected the governors for each important world.

They are often ordinary veterans with outstanding achievements and unquestionable loyalty, or local dignitaries and Tech-Priest who have undergone rigorous screening.

The most crucial step was his unprecedented troop deployment policy:

For every reclaimed habitable planet, regardless of size, at least ten fully armed Ultramarines are stationed.

The stated purpose of these warriors is to maintain the security of a planet, ensuring that each planet is garrisoned with a force equivalent to approximately 10,000 Space Marines in the old era.

But Guilliman's real purpose was to have his sons replace the Inquisition.

If any planetary leader intends to engage in corruption, bribery, or heresy right under the noses of 10 Homelander...

The next second, the Ultramarines's slap will smash their heads.

Then they temporarily take charge of the affairs of the entire planet until a new leader is elected.

These ten warriors are an extension of Guilliman's will, an embodiment of Imperium authority, and the first and strongest line of defense against sudden Chaos threats.

They were stationed in the meticulously constructed fortified monastery in the planetary capital, maintaining direct contact with the orbital fleet and Primarch command.

This formed a surveillance and defense network covering the entirety of Ultramar, woven from loyalty and power.

This certainly diverted some of the legion's concentrated striking power.

However, given the current size of the Ultramarines and their terrifyingly rapid future production rate, this loss is insignificant.

By transforming a small portion of the army, they achieved extreme stability in the foundation of Five Hundred Worlds and an unprecedented ability to suppress the infiltration of Chaos.

This is an extremely worthwhile deal.

Guilliman's vision was to create a steel nation that could function autonomously and resist corrosion, even if he were to leave in the future.

When the oath of allegiance from the last remote planet was transmitted through the Astropaths Network, the massive star map before the Command Throne was finally completely covered in gold, representing absolute control.

Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.

After enduring hardship and division, they were once again, and never before, fully united, placed under a single and absolute will.

Guilliman gazed at this glorious territory, his face showing little joy, only a heavy sense of responsibility and a constant vigilance.

The shadows of the Four Gods still linger in the depths of the Warp, watching over this place.

Nurgle's "gift" may arrive in another form, Tzeentch's plot may have already been laid, and Khorne's rage and Slaanesh's temptation have never been far away.

But from this moment on, the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar have only one voice, one will, and one undisputed ruler!

Robert Guilliman.

Macragge, deep within the Hall of Glory.

Robert Guilliman sat on his own throne.

The throne is not made of gold, but rather forged from the hardest limestone in Macragge. Its cold, simple lines symbolize pragmatism and order.

Outside the window, the cityscape of Hera Fortress, now restored to prosperity, stretches out before you. Further away, the lights of Starport gradually illuminate the twilight like stars.

However, in the Primarch's ears, another voice resounded—a chattering electronic voice that only he could perceive.

[Impeccable conquest efficiency, the great Lord Regent!]

In three months, 522 major habitable worlds were restored to order, which even exceeded the results of optimal strategic simulations.

Your legions are invincible, your will is as firm as a rock, and countless people saved by you will usher in an unprecedented and better life.

Data shows that the Human Development Index, food security index, and basic industrial capacity within the Ultramar area are rebounding at an astonishing rate of 17.3% per year!

This is completely...]

"Stop."

Guilliman interrupted himself softly in his mind, a playful smile playing on his lips:

"Why do I feel like you've been talking more and more ever since I really started this 'conquest movement'?"

When I first 'woke up' and found myself as Guilliman, the system was incredibly concise, like a real human-computer interface.

The brief delay was as if the system was "thinking".

Due to the phased shift in user identity and behavior patterns, the system interaction protocol has been automatically upgraded.

Initially, you fight for survival and a foothold, with the system providing basic assistance.

Now that you are the de facto Lord of Ultramar, the Imperial Regent, you should plan for the future with a grander vision.

The core mission of the Strongest Regent System is to assist the Lord Regent in conquering and ruling.

Your battlefield should be the entire Milky Way!

Based on current power projection models, resource integration efficiency, and potential resistance assessments, it is recommended that the next phase of objectives prioritize nearby targets...

I said, that's enough.

"You're the Strongest Regent System, not some invincible conquest system, right!?"

"Why is your mind filled with nothing but fighting and killing!"

Guilliman's smile deepened, but his tone carried an undeniable interruption, "And, conquering the Milky Way... that sounds so familiar."

My cheap 'father', who sits on the Golden Throne, is only thinking about killing Xenos and conquering the stars.

And then what happened?

He shook his head, temporarily suppressing the thoughts in his mind about the Imperium's millennia of stagnation and suffering.

"Stop daydreaming about the future, tell me, how many ' Governance Points ' do I have now?"

As if a key command had been pressed, the system's incessant chatter instantly ceased, transforming into a highly efficient data stream.

[Calculating...]

[Based on your complete control over the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, the efficient restructuring of the administrative system, the significant improvement in population welfare, the effective elimination of Chaos pollution, and the unprecedented integration of military forces...]

Comprehensive assessment completed.

[Current Governance Points: 1,000,000]

A line of numbers shimmering with a pale golden light seemed to be projected directly into Guilliman's field of vision.

"One million...!"

Guilliman repeated in a low voice, his smile becoming genuine and satisfied.

This is what he needs most right now.

This entity claims to be the "Strongest Regent System".

He has been by his side since the day he transmigrated and awakened, and his world is connected to that of the Invincible in the American comics.

The worldview of Invincible is the same as that of traditional superheroes, starting from Earth and covering the entire universe, containing countless planets and countless races.

However, they all tend to be more virtuous and positive, unlike the dark Warhammer Universe.

After all, among the many IPs, Warhammer always exudes a stench like a cesspool, making anyone who wants to travel through it dread it.

At least Guilliman was able to use the system to exchange for some normal crops, or even superpowers, from the universe of the Invincible.

Otherwise, this cesspool-like universe would be really hard to navigate.

The "Blue Corn" that was redeemed previously, originating from the home planet Vitruum, is proof of this.

That crop contains trace amounts of intelligent factors, enabling it to adapt to extreme environments, and the entire plant is edible.

It is now widely cultivated in Macragge and many other Agri World, greatly alleviating food pressure.

Guilliman saw the crop's efficiency and even considered exchanging it for some fruit to help improve the diet of the residents of Ultramar.

Having accumulated such a massive amount of points, it's time for a crucial exchange.

"System, bring up the exchange list and filter by 'Medical,' 'Transportation,' 'Biological Resources,' 'Scientific Research Blueprints,' and 'Special Items.'"

Guilliman silently recited this in his mind.
