Iax was not silent for long.

The calculation efficiency of Quantum Core is far faster and more accurate than human thinking.

"Irrefutable suggestion, based on feasibility calculations, finding Primarch lost in Warp has a 62.39% chance of shortening the entire battle process of Punitive Expedition."

"But the problem is equally obvious, how to find a Primarch who disappeared in Warp?"

Just when Iax asked Jaghatai how to implement this precondition, a voice with a somewhat strange accent sounded again along with Psychic Power's surging crackling sound.

"I think I can be of some help."

"Aeldari Farseer Eldrad, you once again broke into a place you should not have entered directly. Can I think that you are showing contempt for Federation?"

Eldrad, who just sent away Evelyn's group, returned here again using Psychic Power Teleportation.

But this time Iax decided to give the opponent a little punishment.

There was a slight buzzing sound.

All the Psychic Power power in this cabin has been drained.

For a moment, everyone had the feeling that there was a large group of Sisters of Silence standing next to them, and there was an inexplicable sense of emptiness. This feeling was never given to even the most powerful Sisters of Silence in the memory of several Primarchs.

Eldrad Before he could speak, that suffocating hollow feeling surrounded him.

The powerful Psychic Power power began to flow away crazily, which almost made him collapse.

On the surrounding walls, countless devices composed of Nanomachines are shining with strange light.

"Psychic Power... vacuum..."

The intense discomfort made Eldrad almost faint.

The four surrounding Primarch showed far less pain.

As the buzzing sound gradually disappeared.

The surrounding energy began to flow into the room again, and Eldrad was like a fish that was about to die of thirst and fell back into the water.

The feeling of being almost hollowed out made him feel intimidated.

Although he has indeed lived for a long time, he has never experienced Federation Era after all. After all, he lacks awe for the crystallization of human wisdom.

Lion El'Jonson on the side is somewhat satisfied with Men of Iron's approach. He doesn't need any mercy for these Xenos. Even though he felt a little uncomfortable just now, but seeing that Xenos's situation is much worse than his own, he doesn't have any special opinions.

Vulkan acted a little indifferent.

Although this Xenos had helped him, and might even have assisted Emperor, he was dissatisfied by pretending to be a human being and defrauding him of his trust and friendship.

Vulkan hates conspiracies, and even more hates being plotted against.

Just like the brother he hated back then, he couldn't accept it no matter what.

"Although Imperial Regent Guilliman has promised to pay the ransom for you, it does not mean that you can use this as a pass to come and go here unscrupulously, Aeldari!"

Iax's voice was full of indifference and also had a strange majesty.

In the shadows on the side, a TR-09 Moramad Assassin Robot suddenly appeared from the void.

The sharp blade in the hand of the short mechanical assassin shone with a terrifying light.

"Now you can explain the reason for your return, but if you try any trick, I can also execute you immediately according to the Federation regulations. Aeldari, who has repeatedly violated the Federation regulations, is not protected by the peace agreement, 'the great Seer'."

Eldrad tried to stand up, but TR-09 was so short that the tall Seer had to give up the idea of getting up from the ground and instead sat cross-legged on the ground.

"I know that one of your Primarch brothers who is loyal to Emperor is very famous among Warp, and I can guide you to find him. As for the prophecy brought to you by Evelyn, you can decide for yourself whether you believe it or not."

Eldrad's words made the four Primarch look at each other in shock.

They never thought that one of their brothers could be very famous among Warp.

Lion El'Jonson stared at Eldrad's head with suspicion, as if trying to see something under its mask.

Eldrad and Lion El'Jonson looked at each other through their masks and then spoke.

"Lion El'Jonson, do you still remember that brother who you questioned for a long time and didn't understand ten thousand years ago?"

Lion El'Jonson put his hands on Longsword on his waist and looked at Eldrad.

"Are you trying to provoke us?!"

Vulkan recalled the brothers who had been scolded by Lion El'Jonson in the past, but a series of names came to mind.

Some of them betrayed Imperium and died, while others hid in Warp and became extensions of Chaos God. After carefully thinking about the few remaining names, Vulkan spoke with some uncertainty.

"You mean Corax?"

Eldrad nodded to Vulkan.

"That's Corax."

"What happened to him?"

Guilliman asked anxiously.

Both Vulkan and Guilliman have a good relationship with Corax. Guilliman recognizes and respects Corax and its Progeny's discipline and loyalty to Emperor in battle.

Vulkan agrees with Corax's loyalty philosophy and beliefs.

During Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, Vulkan and Corax fought side by side for a long time, and their friendship with each other far surpassed that of others.

After Isstvan V, it took him a long time to see this brother who fought side by side.

Just by meeting him, Vulkan could feel the heartbreaking pain expressed by his brother.

Progeny was almost slaughtered, and the means of remediation were plotted by Alpha. In the end, he had to bury those poor Progeny in darkness with his own hands.

Vulkan feels the pain of Corax. He also suffered from the genetic mutation of Progeny.

The reason why he never returned to Imperium was actually related to the fact that he didn't know how to face those mutated Progeny.

Corax can bear the pain to kill those mutated Raptors, but Vulkan really can't do it.

Let him return to Imperium and personally execute those mutated Progeny? It would be better to kill him.

As Guilliman asked, Eldrad instinctively wanted to start talking nonsense, but after noticing the short Machine Body beside him, he took back the words and reorganized them.

"Corax He embraced pure darkness and has been lingering outside Mondus's Temple of the Eternal Word (Temple of the Eternal Word)."

"Temple of the Eternal Word of Mondus? What is that?"

Primarch are a little confused.

"That's Fortress built by Word Bearers on Warp. And Corax has been hunting Word Bearers and other Imperium Traitors, and even defeated Lorgar who accepted Chaos God head-on."

"This Imperium Traitors escaped at the critical moment. I heard that someone recently saw a twisted black shadow near Word Bearers's base camp."

"It seems that he cannot accept his failure. Lorgar once meditated in the temple for a long time."

"This incident almost made Word Bearers a laughing stock among Warp."

Iax controls Machine Body, and the artificial eyeball rotates slightly to stare at Eldrad.

"Why do you know this? What is embracing pure darkness? According to the existing data analysis, Aeldari will avoid contact with anything involving Warp to prevent being targeted by Chaos God."

Eldrad raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the cabin. Although his face could not be seen through the helmet mask, he seemed to be able to sense some unfathomable meaning.

"I am the leader of Path of the Seer. Although I cannot directly predict those pure evils, a Primarch is not enough to confuse me."

TR-09's flashing Monomolecular Blade raised slightly, and then asked in a cold voice.

"Then did you foresee your next end? Seer."
