The Emperor in the Tavern (2)

Do you have any leads?

"No, that's precisely why I came to see you. I hope to get some information from you."

The Emperor was silent for a moment, then his Psychic Power began to search throughout Nostramo.

After some time, he still hadn't found anyone, so he expanded his Psychic Power search to cover the entire Peaceful Star System and its sub-sectors.

"He's not here, nor is he in this galaxy, and I can't find him."

Oll Persson fell silent, and the entire tavern fell silent as well. Clearly, the Perpetual here were waiting for his answer, but his answer was not Perpetual wanted.

"Could you take me to see his place?"

"Alright, you two come with me."

Soon, Oll Persson led two people to Klein's residence, a very simple tenement building, where his apartment was on the 13th floor.

Upon entering, it was immediately apparent that the furniture in the room was covered in a thin layer of dust.

This proves that no one has lived here for a long time.

After entering the room, the Emperor used his Psychic Powers to thoroughly search the entire room, inside and out.

Then he went into a suite on the east side of the room.

Finally, he found a long, narrow Box in a hidden compartment under the bed.

What is this?

"Ollanius Persson, don't touch it."

Is there a problem?

"This is something left behind by Warp God."

"Warp God?"

"Yes, I need to take it with me."

"Okay, since you don't have any clue either, I'll take my leave now. Have a nice Holiday."

"Old friend, it seems you're going to Terra again."

"This is necessary, Malcador."

As they were speaking, one of the Emperor's Psychic Power had already arrived at the secret room inside the Webway with the Box.

The Emperor looked at the wooden box in his hand, then slowly opened it.

There was a Staff inside.

It's exactly the same as the one Han Mingxuan usually carries.

The only difference was that there was a sapphire on the Staff.

After confirming that the contents were free from Warp contamination, the Emperor entered the Warp.

"Schemer, come out, we need to talk."

Not long after, Tzeentch arrived as promised.

"You're Klein?"

"I am certainly not Klein."

Where is Klein himself?

"I added a few small errors to his Equation, and now he's a guest in my Labyrinth."

What are you planning to do now?

"Regarding our deal, the Accursed, that Perpetual named Klein is too troublesome; he cannot appear before our plans begin."

Do you think I would believe that?

"So, do you believe in the final outcome of our cooperation, or do you believe that guy will burn the world to ashes?"

The Emperor remained silent for a long time.

Human Mystery Cult aim to burn the entire Warp clean.

As one of the founders of Mystery Cult, Klein's radical ideas are understandable.

When do you plan to release him?

"Once our plan begins, I will work with Mr. Han to execute the second half of the plan, and then I will release Klein."

Should the plan be moved forward?

"I don't want to die and perish, the Accursed."

The Emperor nodded and said nothing more. He simply returned to the secret chamber of the Webway and carefully stored the Staff away.

"Old Han, don't blame me. It's all for a better future for humanity."

This time, Han Mingxuan didn't sneeze or feel a chill down his spine.

Perhaps it's because he's already been tricked by the Emperor; one reminder is enough, two or three are pointless.

However, he didn't have any bad premonitions, but others did.

That's the Military Department.

"Smash it!"

Smash all of this!

"Send all those Vermin into space!"

The Lion that entered the Departmento Munitorum roared from the very first hour.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Dark Angels are the template and benchmark for the entire Legiones Astartes of the Imperium.

The Lion himself was extremely strict in managing the Legion.

However, after entering the Departmento Munitorum, the Lion discovered that he was not an Imperium Primarch at all in the eyes of these Mortals in the Departmento Munitorum.

Chun Chun is just a big shot who can be easily fooled.

"Respected First Primarch, if we launch this group of people outside the Spaceport to preserve them, the remaining high-ranking personnel in the entire Departmento Munitorum will be less than 30%, which will cause great trouble for the entire Military Department's operations."

"Then we'll draw troops from the Astartes under the guise of the Departmento Munitorum. If other Legions aren't suitable, we'll draw from the First Legion!"

"Please forgive my bluntness, Primarch's Ministry of Departmento Munitorum is just as complex as the Administratum. A change in one area has far-reaching consequences, and many noble factions would not agree to it."

"Renato! You're my second-in-command, not here to cause me trouble!"

"I'm not trying to upset you, Primarch, the Imperium is just too big. Its military, politics, economy, population, and culture are all bloated."

"Is this their excuse for corruption?!"

"Where there is splendor and magnificence, there must also be places where Nurgle; it is two sides of the same coin, and this is an eternal truth."

Why wasn't the Military Department targeted during the Anti-Corruption campaign?

Upon hearing this, Renato remained silent for a moment before giving his answer.

"As you've seen, just from the Anti-Corruption within the government system, the Teacher was forced to go back and rest for three years. If it were the Military Department's Anti-Corruption, it wouldn't just be a matter of the Teacher going back and resting for three years."

Upon hearing Renato's reply, the Lion suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Yes, if the anti- Anti-Corruption List had been sent directly to the Departmento Munitorum under those circumstances, the Imperium would most likely have faced internal Horus Heresy. In that case, let alone Great Crusade, even suppressing the rebellion would have been very difficult.

"Renato, do you have any better suggestions?"

"Primarch, we're all counting on you."

"You're your Uncle's student, aren't you?"

"The Teacher is not a god, nor are his students omnipotent. I am, after all, just a Mortals, a great Primarch, while you are Demigod of the Imperium."

Lion El'Jonson for a moment, then issued the order.

"Call Roboute, Curze, and Sanguinius for me; I need to have a meeting."

"Clear."

Shortly after the call ended, the three Primarch arrived at the Departmento Munitorum's secret conference room.

"This is all the inside information I've gathered since joining the Departmento Munitorum. Now I hope you can help me."

If things were done according to the usual procedure, all of these things would be secrets of the First Legion, and given the Lion's arrogance, he wouldn't ask anyone for help.

But the corruption within the Departmento Munitorum is so rampant that even the Lion finds it a headache.

"That's just the surface, the Boss."

"Appearance?"

"Yes, you only see their blatant corruption, but where is the crux of the problem? What is the root cause? And what gives them their confidence?"

After a long period of contemplation, Lion El'Jonson gave an answer that even he himself couldn't believe.

"Adeptus Mechanicus?"
