A paradise world in the Maelstrom

What are you all surprised about?

Lin En chuckled and said, "Don't be too surprised. The Great Devourer always needs a mental connection to control the swarm. As long as you can find its control channel and sever the control of the Tyranids Hive Consciousness, you can turn around and seize control of the swarm. Isn't that a perfectly normal thing? Why, has no one in the Imperium ever tried this before?"

Inquisitor Valens was deeply shocked.

He had been Inquisitor for decades and had seen all sorts of bizarre things, but he had never seen anyone describe controlling the Tyranids as something as simple as picking up an object.

Find the control channel, sever the Hive Consciousness, and seize control.

Yes, since it's remote control, there must be a connection channel.

If the spirit is strong enough to sever the connection channel between the Hive Consciousness, then the connection between the Hive Consciousness and the swarm will be severed.

With no master, why isn't it possible for the swarm to be taken over and controlled by psionic powers, just like its former masters?

Inquisitor Valens turned to his deputy and said, "Communicator, now, connect to Terra Inquisition headquarters."

He immediately wanted to relay the message back to Terra from the scene.

It opened the door to a new world.

If Lord Lin En can do it, then can't the top Librarian leaders in their Imperium do it too?

Lord Lin En always has so many ingenious ideas, and the key is that he can actually make them happen.

This is a new road.

Perhaps the Imperium can really retaliate against those beasts with fur and horns.

But Lin En immediately stopped him with a smile, "Wait, don't send it yet, I need to make a special note about it."

"What? Please tell me."

"Special Note: To control the Tyranids, you must first disable the Hive Consciousness's control over the swarm. If there is no way to disable this, do not attempt it lightly."

"Specifically...?"

"I only managed to stop the Hive Consciousness from controlling the swarm by relying on the Emperor's power barrier. Ordinary humans cannot contend with the Hive Consciousness's mental power and might be countered."

He had witnessed the mental power of the Great Devourer; it was truly like the ocean, something even Demigod couldn't handle.

However, the Faith Barrier in Warhammer Emperor is real. The nun was able to withstand even the Necrons's Gauss Weapon thanks to her faith. Perhaps there really are powerful individuals who can withstand the Great Devourer by relying on the Emperor's Faith Barrier.

Inquisitor Valens said, "Actually, this is quite good too."

The Imperium has a number of Living Saint, neither too many nor too few, and there are always some who are worth trying.

As long as there is a road, the Imperium is least afraid of trying.

Lord Lin En was the first to use the Emperor's Power Barrier in this regard.

I wonder where Lord Lin En came from? How does he always come up with so many outrageous ideas?

Lin En smiled and invited Inquisitor Valens to rest in Bolomite: "Inquisitor Valens, you must be tired from your journey. Please rest in Bolomite first, and I will invite you to join me tomorrow to inspect the Imperium's new Purple Carapace Chapter."

He had a fairly good impression of Inquisitor Valens and didn't mind giving him face.

Moreover, Valens's attitude was very good this time. He didn't bring any weapons or Grey Knights. He apologized as soon as he got off the ship, spoke politely, and conducted the inspection in a proper manner.

Lin En had a lot of respect for this kind of dedicated and unpretentious Inquisitor.

Inquisitor Valens was very grateful. "Lin En, Lord Lynn, for your trouble."

Lin En waved his hand. "Not at all, Your Inquisitor, this way please."

Lin En led Valens outside, with the others following behind them.

The group exited the Starport, crossed the docking corridor, and entered the Landing Craft berthing area.

Cecilia Iron Hammer, Lin En, several Chapter Master, the Adeptus Custodes, Valens, and his retinue were all aboard one ship.

Everyone boarded the ship in turn.

The hatch closed, the Engine ignited, and the Landing Craft departed the starport, heading towards the surface of Bolomite.

Lin En whispered instructions to Phoros to prepare the reception protocol.

Phoros bowed his head and nodded in acceptance.

Valens sat in the Landing Craft, looking out the Porthole.

Bolomite spun below, growing larger and larger, until the steel-clad urban area gradually came into view.

The Landing Craft passed through the atmosphere, entered the planet, and then came to rest at the entrance to the Bolomite city.

The hatch opened and the gangway was lowered.

Lin En stood up, gestured for Valens to disembark, and said with a smile, "Inquisitor Valens, please disembark and inspect the achievements of our Bolomite construction."

Valens quickly declined, "No, no, Lord Lin En, please go first."

Lin En didn't offer any undue deference.

Mutual respect is the proper way to treat guests.

If Valens had been more sensible, he would have kicked Valens out long ago.

As Valens disembarked, the orderly and clean city of Bolomite unfolded before him.

The road was wide and flat, paved with dark flagstones. The flagstones were pieced together and swept very clean, without a speck of dust.

The road is lined with two-story residential buildings, very neat and orderly, row upon row, with white-painted walls, tidy and lovely.

Most of the windows were open, and some windowsills had flowerpots filled with red and green plants, which stood out against the white walls.

Valens looked at them for a while and confirmed that they were indeed flowers and plants.

This is practically a luxury in the Warhammer Universe.

Lin En noticed his gaze and smiled as she explained, "Oh, plants aren't uncommon in Bolomite these days. We've also dragged a new agricultural planet, Echo Star, out of the Warp, and it's now right next to Bolomite."

Valens: "..."

He looked at Lin En.

Is this meant to intimidate him? It must be.

Lin En smiled and gestured, "Your Inquisitor, why don't you go inside and take a look?"

The group entered the city.

The civilians who had gone with the Inquisitor went home, and the children were put down and allowed to run around on the roadside.

The children followed Lin En and the others.

The elderly sat on benches by the roadside to bask in the sun.

Pedestrians walked unhurriedly, some going to work, some going home, and some taking a stroll.

Valens walked along, observing everything.

He's alive! Bolomite is alive!

Previously, while on the tracks, they only saw the Industrial Zone Industrial Zone, with smoke billowing from its chimneys and layers upon layers of Industrial Zone buildings and pipes. They never imagined that such a paradise-like residential area was hidden behind the Industrial Zone.

The environment here is better than on most of the civilization planets in the Imperium.

The Maelstrom is one of the most dangerous star systems in the Imperium, devoid of order, and frequently raided by Chaos and pirates.

I never imagined that Lord Lin En and his people could build such a civilized, peaceful, and even happy world in this chaotic Maelstrom.

Indeed, force is the standard foundation of all happiness; Lord Lin En is simply too powerful.

Inquisitor Valens settled in the Governor's Palace in Bolomite.

The Governor's Palace has a reception building, so it wouldn't be appropriate to have the visiting envoy stay outside. Therefore, Cecilia invited Inquisitor Valens into the presidential palace.

Valens, along with his deputy, recorder, and attendants, moved into the rooms arranged by Cecilia.

The room is located in the center of the Governor's Palace, and the window offers views of the square and fountain in front of the Governor's Palace.

Valens stood by the window for a while, then drew the curtains and, overnight, transmitted the message from Lin En that severing the mental link with the Great Devourer would allow him to counter the control of the Tyranids back to the Terra Inquisition headquarters via the Webway.

The encrypted message from Bolomite traveled through the Maelstrom, across the Webway, and back to Terra, causing another huge uproar.

The radicals in the Inquisition are truly, truly unwilling to accept this.

This Emperor envoy is so remarkable; they really want to study Lin En.
