The Flagship of the Blood Angels Chapter.

"Chapter Master! These are today's tasks!" A Blood Angels walked in carrying a stack of documents.

As Blood Angels, they are not only responsible for conquest, but also for bringing some basic means of governance to the Planet.

This reminded Dante of his unfortunate experiences during the Great Crusade.

If it weren't for those books in the Relic Archives, he would have truly thought he was dreaming.

"Just leave it there."

"Yes, Chapter Master!"

Not long after the Blood Angels Battle-Brother left, Grand Master Mephiston of the Librarian arrived.

"Mephiston, you've arrived."

"After all, everything has changed drastically since you woke up, and I need to check on your condition frequently."

Thank you for your help.

After he awoke, due to the changes in himself and his Miracle encounters during the Great Crusade, he experienced a profound transformation.

The entire Blood Angels Chapter and its Blood Angels -chapters have undergone changes to varying degrees.

First, there's the Blood Angels Chapter; Grand Master Mephiston of the Librarian needs to constantly monitor his soul state.

In this respect, Dante was very grateful to him.

After all, this is not the era of the Great Crusade; the Veil of reality is much more fragile than before, and the effects of the Warp could appear at any time.

Mephiston's actions were understandable, and it was precisely a demonstration of his responsibility to the Chapter.

But besides that, there were other things that gave Dante a real headache.

That's the sub-cluster problem.

Yes, it's a problem with sub-clusters.

In the past, Dante did not think there was anything wrong with the pouches.

Or rather, because of the death of the Gene-Father, all the subgroups of the Blood Angels were more or less affected by Red Thirst and Black Rage.

Everyone had problems before, so these problems were accepted as normal.

But ever since Dante awoke, he felt that this problem had to be solved.

He witnessed the glorious and illustrious era of the Great Crusade.

Even more so, he witnessed the greatest Mortals of the Great Crusade.

He brought hope, reason, justice, and kindness.

It is no exaggeration to say that he possesses almost all the virtues that humans should have.

At the same time, that being imparted all of his virtues without reservation.

Dante was deeply influenced by this.

When he returned from the Great Crusade, he looked at the current Blood Angels Chapter and all its Blood Angels -chapters.

He felt only heartache and indignation.

He had seen the Blood Angels of the Great Crusade era, and he had seen his father during the Great Crusade.

That's why he knows all too well that the Blood Angels shouldn't be like this now.

Therefore, upon awakening, Dante immediately began contacting the Blood Angels subgroup.

He needs to convene the leaders of the other sub-companies, and at the same time, reform some of the unhealthy practices currently prevalent within the various sub-companies of the Blood Angels.

His action was significant; it's no exaggeration to say that it even attracted the attention of the Imperium Department of Internal Affairs and the Inquisition.

In this era, the 13th Black Crusade has not yet begun.

The Cicatrix Maledictum have not yet stretched across the galaxy, nor have there been any mention of the Imperium Sanctus or the Imperium Nihilus.

Until Abaddon, the Warmaster of the Black Legion, launched the 13th Black Crusade.

The concept gradually took shape after the fall of Cadia and the Cicatrix Maledictum becoming Great Rift across the galaxy.

Therefore, when Dante made this decision, the High Lords of the Imperium Department of Internal Affairs and the Inquisitor of the Inquisition took it very seriously.

Large-scale contact with subgroups is not a safe signal.

Even in this day and age, the High Lord cannot forget the initiation of the Last Wall Protocol in history.

Although Terra was saved at that time due to the existence of the Last Wall Protocol.

But the High Lords were not doing well at that time, Space Marines had a great influence on their exercise of power.

Therefore, seeing Dante take such actions now, they do not want to experience the same predicament that led to the Last Wall Protocol.

These ancient Chapter, no one knows what kind of secret agreements they might have.

If another agreement restructuring like that of Imperial Fists were to happen, would they still be able to survive?

Therefore, at the same time that Dante issued the call to action, it wasn't just the representatives of the Blood Angels who came to find them.

And the Inquisitor in the Inquisition.

"Excuse my bluntness, Chapter Master, what you're doing appears to outsiders to be tantamount to reorganizing the Legion."

"Of course I know that's what people will think, Grand Master, but what I did wasn't to reorganize the Ninth Legion."

"Then what is your purpose?"

"So that the Blood Angels may become the Blood Angels once again."

Mephiston found Dante's words somewhat difficult to understand.

"Grand Master, you haven't been to that era, you don't know what the Ninth Legion was like back then."

"I can tell you with absolute certainty, Grand Master, that neither the Blood Angels Chapter nor any of Blood Angels other sub-chapters are currently qualified Blood Angels."

Mephiston didn't speak; he simply looked at Dante seriously.

"Chapter Master, do you realize the enormous impact your words will have if they get out?"

"Therefore, this conversation today is known only to the two of us."

"It is my honor, Chapter Master."

Dante nodded, letting Mephiston leave first.

Watching Mephiston's departing figure, Dante felt somewhat troubled.

Actually, compared to the impact of his actions, there are deeper issues that are giving him a headache.

That is the current attitude of the Blood Angels towards themselves.

Dante was very perceptive, both on the battlefield and in daily life.

Since his awakening, with the changes in his appearance, he could clearly sense that the Blood Angels no longer felt the same respect towards him.

There is also a sense of attachment.

This is not just Dante's unfounded claim, because he would unconsciously feel the same way when facing his own father.

This is what truly gave Dante a headache.

He couldn't respond to these feelings as a father, nor could he reject them as Chapter Master.

To put it nicely, because he is currently the Chapter Master of the Blood Angels Chapter, the Battle-Brother within the Chapter don't actually have a very strong sense of attachment to him.

After all, as the Chapter Master, he couldn't possibly run off to another place unless the Chapter was wiped out.

But what about the other Chapters?

This is a problem he has to consider.

After all, I now look far too much like my father.

White wings, golden hair, and a white feathered crown.

The key point is that this feathered crown is actually woven from my father's feathers, and it truly carries his essence.

Besides these, there was also a change in his demeanor.

Because of that being's influence, he possesses a very strong positive aura.

This is very similar to his own father.

That's what's giving him a headache.
