Upheaval in the Warp (1)

Han Mingxuan's blow with the stick made Dante want to dodge in pain.

Although Han Mingxuan was holding only an ordinary bamboo stick, when it struck Dante's knee, Dante felt his skin burning.

Do you know why I hit you?

"Know."

"Then explain in detail. If you get it wrong, I'll slap you."

"According to your philosophy, books are for educating others, and the knowledge and wisdom contained within them should be disseminated as much as possible, rather than being placed here for people to worship."

Bang! Bang!

Third Company.

"Since you already know, why don't you do it?"

"But sir, this world is different; this world is very ignorant."

So you mean to say I wronged you?

I didn't say that.

Han Mingxuan nodded, then stopped looking at Dante and looked at Mephiston instead.

"Mephiston, the Grand Master Librarian guru, am I right?"

"It is I, Your Excellency."

"Come forward."

Seeing the interaction between his Chapter Master and this Mortals, Mephiston understood that this was the Mortals mentioned in the Chapter Master's story, the great Mortals.

Father of Night.

Mephiston stepped forward and stood beside Dante, staring at Han Mingxuan.

"You're Psyker, you should be pretty smart, right?"

"In fact, as the Angels of Death of Emperors, our brains are different from ordinary people."

"Very good, very energetic. Now tell me, what is the main content of the sixth sentence of Article 9, Paragraph 8, Item 7 of Chapter 13 of the Civil Code of Evernight Code?"

Um?

If you asked Dante, Dante's sure he could answer it.

But when Dante asked Mephiston, Mephiston didn't react, Dante panicked first.

Good heavens! Why would the Father of Night ask Mephiston such a question?

Moreover, this question asks for precise positioning.

On legal matters, you can fool anyone, but you can't fool the Father of Night, because the Evernight Code is something he memorized.

This is terrible, because Mephiston has never even looked at the Evernight Code in detail.

Or rather, since the Evernight Code was placed in the Relic Archives, few people have seen it.

Because of the current requirements for the management of Relic.

Viewing Relic is subject to strict management and access restrictions, and many Relic can only be viewed from a distance during ritual occasions.

Not to mention a super Relic like the Evernight Code; even Mephiston didn't have complete viewing privileges within the entire Chapter.

Mephiston's mind was blank, while Dante was drenched in sweat, constantly sending messages to Mephiston using the Chapter's unique operational codes.

But the two of them just stood there blankly in front of Han Mingxuan, and Han Mingxuan could see their little actions clearly.

As for why Han Mingxuan asked the question in such detail, he had his own reasons.

Because all the numbers in the question he asked were Sacred Numbers.

In fact, when Han Mingxuan was at 30k, he deliberately used some Sacred Numbers, such as the Emperor's Sacred Number 13.

Of course, that's to lay the foundation for the future.

If a large-scale counterattack occurs in the Warp, the various arrangements within the Etherpeace System, which are based on the Sacred Number 13, will certainly provide the Emperor with some powerful support.

In this day and age, things like Sacred Numbers are not to be touched lightly, but Han Mingxuan just wanted to try it out; he had no other intention than to have some fun.

So in that last sentence, he recited the Sacred Numbers of all five Chaos Gods in the Warp.

That's why the 40k Warp almost exploded.

Of course, the reason why the Warp almost exploded this time was not only because Han Mingxuan said that string of Sacred Numbers, but mainly because Dante said those three words.

Father of Night!

Within the Warp, when Dante uttered those three words, the entire Warp surged with immense power.

Maze of Tzeentch began to tremble violently, and death descended upon Garden of Nurgle.

The Blood God, seated on the Brass Throne, felt as if his bones were breaking and he was in excruciating pain.

The Dark Prince's Palace trembled incessantly, and cracks began to appear in all Sixth Rings.

Almost the instant the sound appeared, they could feel their authority reacting violently.

But it wasn't just their power that was in question; the entire Warp was responding to that name.

The most obvious reaction is the Well of Eternity.

It gushed out.

Because of the Warp's violent reaction, the Emperor, who was defending against Chaos within the Warp, received the news immediately.

Finally.

Finally!

The Father of Night has finally arrived!

Of course, it wasn't just the Emperor who sensed Han Mingxuan's arrival; our Chancellor Minister sensed it too.

This time, Sinleech rushed straight into the Throne Room, and before Trajann Valoris could even speak, he was sent flying.

"Old Cured Meat, can't you feel it too?"

"Yes, he's here."

"Where is he? I'm going to find him now!"

"Near the Baal System."

"Okay, I'll go find it now."

After finishing his sentence, Sinleech disappeared immediately; he needed to find Han Mingxuan as quickly as possible!

He doesn't want to die!

Because of Han Mingxuan's appearance, the power of the four Chaos Gods in this world was shaken, and they had no time to pay attention to Sinleech's actions.

It did, however, make things easier for him.

On the Flagship of the Blood Angels Chapter, Dante and Mephiston were staring at each other, wide-eyed.

"Speak, Librarian Grand Master, answer my question."

"Your Excellency, as Relic, it has strict..."

"I asked you to answer my question, not to explain rules and regulations to me."

"I... I don't have permission to read the whole thing. What you mentioned isn't in my memory."

Han Mingxuan nodded and told Mephiston to step back.

Then he looked at Dante.

Dante is now filled with regret, deep regret.

He felt the same way he did when he and his father visited the Eighth Legion to observe the Judicial Examination.

That's terrible.

"Honorable Son of the Angels, Chapter Master, please tell me, why don't they know either?"

"Father of Night, I..."

"For safety reasons, it's one thing that my books can't be circulated outside, but even the Blood Angels Chapter doesn't know about them."

"If knowledge and wisdom aren't internalized, is it just a breeding ground for maggots?!"

"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood the Chapter Master. Too much wisdom can be Corruption."

"Nonsense! You're only susceptible to being Corruption because you have knowledge. If you were a wise person, your first instinct when faced with treacherous Corruption would be to reject them."

"Even the wisest man can make a mistake, Your Excellency!" Mephiston stepped forward to argue.

"He hasn't absorbed much from his studies, but he's certainly mastered a whole repertoire of excuses."

"Just because you're afraid of making a mistake, you put your books away and then comfortably act like a fool?"

"Now I'll tell you, knowledge and wisdom are not the original sin; cowardice is."

"As for you, are you Blood Angels? I think you're just a coward."

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Then please answer my question, Grand Master Librarian."
