Unlike the surface, which was gradually settling into calm, the Black Templars' Battle Barge in low orbit over Pleasure Star rang with the incredulous cries of Tech-Priests.
"By the Omnissiah, I have never seen readings like these!"
A Tech-Priest stood before a console on the bridge, staring at its readings in shock.
The Chaos readings on Pleasure Star were plummeting.
Normally, when an Imperial World suffered a Chaos invasion, even if Imperial forces could purge the blasphemous, twisted creatures of Chaos, the Warp power readings could never subside this quickly.
Some worlds even became permanently uninhabitable after large-scale sacrifices.
Residual Chaos power would linger across a planet's surface for a long time before gradually fading.
In such cases, the Ecclesiarchy and the Adeptus Mechanicus often had to work together to purify the land itself in the affected regions.
Yet the situation on Pleasure Star below was changing rapidly.
The Warp power had been eliminated along with the tide of Slaaneshi Daemons.
The Tech-Priest repeatedly checked the equipment on the bridge, gradually falling into a stupor after confirming that the readings were correct.
"This truly is a blessing from the Omnissiah."
Then the Tech-Priest quietly downloaded a copy of the combat footage recorded aboard the ship.
The unusual fighters, strange dark weapons, and changes in the machine bodies had all been clearly recorded.
By dispersing the residual Warp power, Iax's mechanical forces had also cleared the Warp interference affecting the Imperial Ships.
Equipment that had previously been unable to detect or scan anything clearly could now capture clear footage of the Men of Iron fighting on the surface.
Such blatant data collection was naturally detected by the Sword of the Void nearby, which was slightly larger than Pleasure Star itself.
But Iax did not mind what they were doing.
