Iax's words caused everyone Primarch present to fall into a brief silence.

Corax's voice broke through Silence like the cry of a night owl. Ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of his armor, turning into countless black feathers that flew away and then regrouped in place.

"My father gave me a sign that Dorn is still alive. He asked me to find a way to find clues about Dorn among Chaos God."

His deep gaze rested on Jaghatai.

"Then tell Eagle of Chogoris the news."

"Me?"

Jaghatai pointed at himself with some confusion.

"Shall I go find Dorn?"

Leman Russ stood up suddenly, and the conference table groaned under his strength.

"I seemed to have seen a vision of my father in my trance. He asked me to tell you to find Dorn to resist the storm."

Jaghatai looked in disbelief.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Russ's expression was a little embarrassed.

"Men of Iron's wine numbed my thinking, and various strange encounters made me question most of the illusions."

Lion El'Jonson's voice is deep.

"Dorn's situation is more complicated than living."

"He was trapped in the gap between reality and Warp, and was nailed to death in a twisted space by some kind of Chaos Gods authority. And Men of Iron's test --"

He pointed to the unfinished Eight-Pointed Star in the holographic Star Map.

"It will become the fulcrum to leverage that space."

Guilliman suddenly realized something and turned sharply to Lion El'Jonson.

"You disappeared before to find the whereabouts of Dorn?"

Lion El'Jonson gave Guilliman a strange look.

"Is it weird that I went to find Dorn?"

In fact, Lion El'Jonson and Dorn have a really good relationship.

With Dorn taking charge of many military decisions, Guilliman no longer needs to worry so much.

As for the fact that Lion El'Jonson can find Dorn, Guilliman has no intention of questioning it. After all, no one can see through the background of the First Legion. Except for Lion El'Jonson himself and Emperor, no one knows how many secrets First Legion hides.

"Although I learned the general location of Dorn, I couldn't save him. That space must be the work of a certain Chaos God, but first we must first confirm which Chaos God trapped Dorn."

Corax nodded towards Lion El'Jonson.

"I will find clues to Dorn."

Listening to the discussion of everyone Primarch, Iax was minding his own preparations. The holographic Star Map suddenly flashed, showing the energy fluctuations in the periphery of the artificial Star System -- Seven Desolate Planet have been positioned, and the eighth Planet is being slowly released from Super-Mass Driver by a Titan Ship.

Titan Ship, who imprisoned T'au and dark Aeldari Corsair, moved slowly, and then sent a large number of creatures to these Planet.

Looking at the disarmed Xenos race and the darkness Psychic Power separated by the Psychic Power restriction device, Aeldari Corsair slowly walked down Transport Aircraft under the suppression of T'au's battle suit and Gun Drone.

Except for Guilliman and Leman Russ, everyone else's expressions are somewhat weird.

"These equipment seem to be T'au's own?"

Lion El'Jonson, who has consulted many files, can naturally recognize these Xenos's equipment.

In fact, the weird expression of other Primarch comes from this.

And because Corax occasionally comes out of Warp to quietly look at his Progeny, he still has some understanding of the internal situation of Imperium.

He doesn't know anything about T'au either.

"It seems that their equipment is controlled by Men of Iron."

"These inferior technological creations are equipped with crude artificial intelligence. Compared to us, they are as ridiculous as children."

Iax's voice echoed in the conference room.

At this moment, everyone seemed to understand why Emperor was so afraid of these Silica Animus.

If Imperium also develops dangerous artificial intelligence technology on a large scale, then when disaster strikes, they may become as defenseless as those T'au Xenos.

"The testing process is about to begin. Are there any other objections?"

Corax hesitated for a moment, and the vague figure slowly took a step forward.

"Tell me, how are you going to get Magnus to cooperate with your plan?"

Holographic Projection of Iax flashed slightly, and then a video was displayed.

That was the image left in the prison van at Locus Oris Forest.

"Panacea seems to be able to bring endless pain to Magnus and make it unbearable for him. Men of Iron has enough patience to wait for him to cooperate with our actions."

Seeing Magnus wailing in the water tank filled with Panacea, even Lion El'Jonson, who had always been afraid of Men of Iron, showed a cruel smile inexplicably.

"Very well, this is the fate the sinner deserves."

Corax is indifferent to Magnus's performance. Raven Lord just wants Lorgar to experience endless despair and pain.

As for the other Primarch, they frowned slightly.

After all, they don't like torturing others.

After confirming that no one had any other opinions, Servitor brought a translucent liquid transfer truck filled with Panacea to the door of the cell where Magnus was locked up.

Looking at Panacea, which was at least dozens of tons of shining light, the corners of Magnus the Red's mouth twitched slightly.

Although Panacea repaired many of his injuries, Men of Iron's special cell seemed to be filled with Sisters of Silence around him, filled with a sense of emptiness and emptiness in his soul.

He couldn't feel a trace of Psychic Power power to respond to him.

The traitor Primarch chose to cooperate without any hesitation.

Once betrayal occurs, it never happens just once.

If Magnus can betray Imperium, he doesn't care if he betrays Chaos Gods again.

What's more, Men of Iron's request may be an opportunity for him.

Summoning Four Gods as a sacrifice to hundreds of billions of creatures cannot be said to be a betrayal in any way.

Maybe I can also use this to let Lord of Change rescue me from Men of Iron.

When he learns more knowledge and knows more mysteries, he will definitely destroy these ancient relics.

As Magnus was put on the prison car and transferred to a ship T'au Protector-class Battleship controlled by Men of Iron.

The Giant Ship soon sailed to the center of the Eight-Pointed Star System.

In order to ensure that Magnus can summon Chaos Gods, Iax simply modified the Xenos ship.

Internal compartments, weapons and valuable metals have all been removed.

All that is left is the empty frame with only the power system.

Then Iax stuffed a large amount of pure Psychic Crystal into it.

To ensure that Magnus will not be in a dilemma of insufficient strength when hosting the ceremony.

What's more important is that Iax used Destructive Energy to drive Psychic Disintegration Weapon to create a special bomb.

As Magnus stood on the specially-made platform, he could feel the sense of destruction under his feet.

That is a threat that Psychic Power cannot resist.

When Protector-class Battleship arrives at the predetermined location.

The peripheral Titan Ship immediately started its own task, and the last Planet was pushed into Star System.

When Planet arrived at the location, violent space tremors immediately appeared.

Even if Magnus hasn't taken any action yet, this Star System has already begun to experience strange phenomena.

Under natural circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for Planet to appear in this arrangement.

In the center of the eight Planet intertwined, the space is slowly fragmenting.

Chaos Star means unclean and twisted, and its mere existence will trigger the power of Warp.
