Zhou Yun defeated Cicero, thwarted the Blind Witch’s sacrifice, and began teaching the young Roboute Guilliman while extending his reach to Prospero and Nuceria. The arc left him connected to Angron through a new gladiator brotherhood and beginning Guilliman’s lessons with a clash over superstition and science.

  • Zhou Yun beat Cicero at cards, won more than fifty thousand Denars, and discovered that the Blind Witch and Libo planned to sacrifice sixty-six people.
  • Zhou Yun forced the Blind Witch to relive her trauma, and the Golden Throne’s flames destroyed her and the sacrificial souls, freeing Semuneta.
  • Zhou Yun projected himself into an archaeologist on Prospero, where Soul-Eater Bees killed his body, and his image of a black knight summoned Celestine.
  • Zhou Yun agreed to buy ashes from Cicero, defeated him in debate before the young Robert Guilliman, and discussed Guilliman’s plans for Ultramar.
  • After Imhotep disrupted his projected will, Zhou Yun entered a gladiator’s body on Nuceria and fought alongside Old Bear Onomammus before Angron welcomed him as kin.
  • Marcus Guilliman entrusted Zhou Yun with teaching his son, and Zhou Yun began Guilliman’s first lesson by presenting numbers six and seven as signs of Chaos.
