Three hours later, the Silent King's decree spread throughout the entire galaxy.

The first use of the Celestial Orrery in this era caused a huge uproar throughout the universe.

"Curze, could you help me contact the Silent King?"

On the Flagship of the Nightfall, Curze received a message from Malcador.

"Uncle Ma, why are you suddenly contacting the Silent King at this time?"

"Yes, we've also received news of the decree from the Silent King, and we'd like to speak with him."

"I'm afraid that's not possible now," Curze said.

"But Curze, if we can't find out where the Silent King's next attack area is, it will have a huge impact on the entire Imperium of Man."

"If there's anything you need, just talk to me directly."

Trazyn's voice came through the Communications Frequency.

"Trazyn?"

"Yes, Chancellor of the Imperium of Man, according to the Silent King's secret instructions, once the Silent King issues the decree, I will assume the functions of the Triarch."

"You can talk to me directly about your needs."

"As long as your requests are reasonable, I will convey them and await the judgment of the Silent King."

There was a long silence on Malcador's end.

He could tell that Trazyn's tone was completely businesslike, with no hint of joking.

"Regarding the Necrons' recent military operation, the Imperium of Man wants to know the location and range of their next strike."

"Wherever the illusory fate has a place, the Necrons will purge it, completely purge it."

"Could you please ask the Silent King to postpone the operation? If the Necrons' military deployment continues, the Imperium of Man will suffer considerable losses."

Although the influence of that illusory destiny did not penetrate deep into the heart of the Imperium, many important Planets were within its reach.

If this were completely annihilated by the Necrons.

This is not a good thing for the future development of the Imperium.

"Chancellor of Humanity, on behalf of the Triarch, I reject the request regarding the consultation agreement concerning the Imperium of Man's military operations against the Necrons."

"But why?"

"There's no reason why; your request doesn't align with the interests of the Necrons."

"The interests of the Necrons?" Malcador asked.

"Yes, for the entire Necrons right now, all we desire is resurrection."

"At first, Old Han disappeared without a trace. We couldn't find him, and neither could you, so we're waiting."

"We can only believe that no news is good news, but now that we have news, we can't wait any longer; delay could lead to unforeseen changes."

"But..."

"No buts. The Chancellor of the Imperium of Man's decision to use the Celestial Orrery to eliminate all potential enemies was made by the entire race, not by the Triarch alone."

"Our people have a glorious history and immense power. In this day and age, you stand on our territory. You should be grateful for the Silent King's mercy."

"Because of Old Han's existence, the Necrons have shown their true colors to the Imperium of Man, but don't expect any more Mercy and Forgiveness from Necrons."

"Humans are unworthy of the Father of Night. As the Overlord of the galaxy, my people have had enough of you. Now we will settle this with our own methods."

On Terra's side, Malcador ended his call with Trazyn.

After ending the call, Malcador felt absolutely no lingering hope.

"Valdor."

No one responded.

"Valdor!"

Only after hearing the Chancellor's reprimand did Valdor reluctantly enter.

"Now take the Adeptus Custodes to the front lines."

"We must protect the Emperor, Your Chancellor," Valdor said coldly.

From the time of the Emperor's assassination until now, Valdor has been observing Malcador.

Ultimately, this First of Ten Thousand also added the Chancellor of the Imperium of Man to the List of untrustworthy individuals.

"But now, the Emperor's Imperium needs you more."

"We are the Emperor's Retinue; we are only responsible to the Emperor."

"What if the Celestial Orrery of the Necrons shattered the Imperium of Man?"

"I have said before, Chancellor Excellency, we are only accountable to the Emperor."

"Heh, the Adeptus Custodes' stubbornness was already evident ten thousand years ago," the Night Haunter suddenly sneered.

Ever since seeing that frame, the Night Haunter had remained silent, but now he was in the mood to make sarcastic remarks.

"Night Haunter, you..."

"Curze calls you Uncle, but I don't. I only listen to my Uncle."

In the end, Malcador reluctantly turned his gaze back to Valdor.

"First of Ten Thousand, I hope you will lead the Adeptus Custodes to the front lines to evacuate all forces that can be evacuated, and contribute to the Imperium of Man."

Valdor said nothing; he simply turned his back to Malcador.

Just as Malcador was about to make Valdor fly, he received a communication from Horus.

"Uncle, I've already set off with my men. Don't worry, we'll get to the front lines as quickly as possible and get everyone who can be evacuated out."

Horus? When did you set off?

"Just now, Endymion came to tell me that the Imperium needs my strength now."

Endymion?

Malcador glanced at the Adeptus Custodes who had their backs to him.

"Valdor, you..."

"Endymion, remember to be punished when you return."

"I understand, sir, but the Emperor's Imperium needs me more now."

"I'll be waiting for your triumphant return."

On the Endurance, the Grandfather looked at Mortarion.

"Xiao Mo, are you ready? Everything about the Death Power."

"It's no use saying we weren't prepared now."

If you're not ready now, just wait for the Silent King and the Necrons to blow a hole in the universe.

"Hehehe, take it easy. After all, witnessing the War in Heaven is no easy feat."

"Ha, is this some kind of twisted humor from Chaos Gods?"

"Come, accept death."

Grandfather spoke, a black gem appeared in his hand.

"This is the embodiment of the Death Power, and I am handing it over to you."

Then he picked up the Red Spider Lily again.

The Red Spider Lily transformed into a beam of red light and merged into it, emitting a series of strange fluctuations.

"Alright, now take your people and guide the souls of those about to die into the next cycle of reincarnation."

"Then what?"

"Then let this cycle continue until the war of the Necrons ends."

"This is truly Despair."

Now Mortarion understands a little better Dorn felt when they returned to Terra.

It's not pleasant at all.

The pressure is immense.

Now, the entire Imperium of Man's life and death rest on his shoulders.

Fortunately, he still has his brothers who can help him.

"Curze, I need your Evernight Legion to help me stabilize the Warp environment."

"Okay, I'll help you. Xiao Mo, you have to hang in there!"

Death Guard never gives up.
