In truth, Fhaos still had quite a few good things.

They were just... somewhat extreme.

In the silent office, Hades stared thoughtfully at the list in his hand.

Without considering postwar cleanup or personnel survival, those Magi had developed multiple Exterminatus packages. There was always one suited to the battlefield.

Tidal Star Disruption (extremely short deployment time): Detonate massive quantities of vortex bombs near a star, guiding Warp tides into collision with the star. This would then release enormous energy throughout the system and trigger unpredictable Warp disturbances, potentially causing local reality and the Warp to become chaotic.

Day of Eternal Silence (moderate deployment time): Three disposable giant vessels covered in enhanced Blackstone Obelisks surrounded a planet. Using the deaths of a thousand Soulless as a catalyst, they would plunge the entire planet into a complete null field.

Planet Thrower (extremely long deployment time): Through destroying stars, pulling planets, and various other methods, alter a star system's gravitational field and "throw" a celestial body within it as a weapon, smashing it into the target battlefield.

Hades's assessment was that these were slightly heretical Exterminatus measures. Aside from the exorbitantly costly Day of Eternal Silence, which might have some use, Hades could not think of applications for the rest... for the time being.

Beyond that, Fhaos's technological development was primarily reflected in its improved logistics system and the application of the Reborn System.

After some thought, Hades looked toward the screen beside his desk. The cables behind it ran beneath the floor, leading to the Reborn main system on the lower deck of Class A.

On Fhaos, Hades had rarely seen an extension of the Emperor's consciousness. He had tried communicating with the Custodian Guard, but those riddlers had been evasive and vague.

They had only told Hades to return
