"Alright, the handover of work at the Department of Internal Affairs is complete. Now come with me, Night Haunter. I need to explain in detail Mr. Han's specific arrangements for you."

Immediately afterwards, Sinleech took the Night Haunter to his private residence.

As soon as they entered, the entire mansion was enveloped by a strange power.

"Is this the power of a father?"

"Yes, after all, I am a rather special existence in this destiny. My every word and action may very well be observed by another version of myself."

"Therefore, just to be on the safe side, I had Mr. Han set up a restriction here. Anything said here will be undetectable to the Lord of Change in this world."

"So you let him go on purpose." Upon hearing Sinleech say that the Lord of Changes wouldn't be able to sense this place, the Night Haunter directly voiced his suspicions.

"That's right, it seems Mr. Han's education of you has not been in vain; at the very least, you've become more intelligent."

"Then why did you do that?"

"This involves a secret plan between Mr. Han, that Old Cured Meat, and me, which I cannot disclose to you at the moment."

The reason for letting the Lord of Change go was simply to bring those four maggots in the Warp together.

Otherwise, if Cadia falls and the Great Rift unfolds, we'll be missing one of the three, which won't do.

In a grand drama like this, which is destined to happen, not a single cog in the machine can be missing.

Moreover, once the Great Rift unfolds, the Emperor's influence over the Realspace will expand.

Burning the Black King as firewood will also increase its combustion efficiency, and then the spacetime channels on both sides will be completely stabilized.

In this way, 30K troops can be deployed in large numbers to a 40K battlefield.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

Now, for this Imperium Chancellor, as long as a stable passage is established, Curze will be able to reunite with the Night Haunter.

He was eager to see what interesting things would happen between Curze and the Night Haunter.

Moreover, Sinleech could clearly sense that the Night Haunter's feelings for Mr. Han were far too profound.

If he knew that letting the Lord of Change go was to stabilize the passage between the two worlds, then who knows what foolish things the Night Haunter might do.

At this point in time, Sinleech cannot allow any unexpected events to occur.

If something goes wrong on this timeline, he will surely die.

The Night Haunter had no idea that the Chancellor harbored so many hidden thoughts; he was only concerned with his father's arrangements for him.

What are my father's plans for me?

"Mr. Han's arrangement for you is also a test. He requires you to rebuild the Eighth Legion within 10 years."

"Ten years?"

"What, is there not enough time? You should know that this was a decision Mr. Han made after careful consideration."

"Three years," the Night Haunter said. "I will definitely rebuild the Eighth Legion."

"You have ambition, then I'll be waiting for you. Mr. Han is also waiting for you to reorganize the Eighth Legion as soon as possible."

"After all, for Mr. Han, only the Eighth Legion is his true personal army. This isn't something I made up to deceive you; it's what Mr. Han said."

"To be honest, before you arrived, Mr. Han's personal resources were extremely limited."

"So let's act quickly, Night Haunter."

Sinleech had a premonition that the Imperium of Man would soon face a large-scale war.

If the Eighth Legion can reorganize its forces as soon as possible, then their pressure will be much less.

The Night Haunter didn't say much; he simply nodded and vanished without a trace in an instant.

Several days later, when he reappeared, he was atop the Rock.

"Hello, little kitten, do you know where Sevatar is kept?"

"Who?!"

When that cold, mocking voice reached his ears, the Dark Angels Space Marine felt a chill run down his spine.

No alarms had sounded throughout the entire the Rock, yet now this sound was right beside his ears.

"Tell me the truth, you little kitten, where exactly is Sevatar?"

I can't tell you anything!

"Oh."

After the cold, contemptuous laughter, the Space Marine felt a sudden darkness before his eyes. When his vision returned, a person stood before him.

The other person was much taller than him, with a straight posture, wearing Artificer Power Armour, and had long black hair.

"You... the Night Lords?!"

This Dark Angels Space Marine never imagined that there would be members of the Night Lords atop the Rock!

Not for any other reason, but simply because of inner fear.

Only the Night Lords can instill fear in the hearts of Space Marines!

"Haha, I didn't expect you, little kitty, to be so knowledgeable. You're right, I am indeed the Night Lords, or you can call me the Night Haunter."

Night Haunter?

Isn't that dead?!

"This must be a conspiracy by the Chaos Gods! Heretics! Die!"

"Ha, even if you don't tell me, I have ways to find it myself."

Since awakening his Warp Essence in the Terra Throne Room, the Night Haunter's power has increased, as has his Psychic Power talent.

If his previous Prophecies were merely first-person, mandatory Prophecies, then his current Prophecies are controllable.

In addition to that, it has one more ability.

Fear Inducement.

As long as it's within the range of his Psychic Power energy, whatever he wants to know, the other party will tell him.

Even the First Legion, the most adept at concealing secrets, had no secrets from him.

In less than three seconds, the Night Haunter obtained the information he wanted.

Then he disappeared into the shadows, while the Space Marine had already collapsed to the ground.

In fact, given the Night Haunter's abilities, he could have easily found Sevatar without alerting anyone.

But he had been holding back for so long and was eager for some excitement, and he wanted to see if chaos in the Rock could wake the sleeping Lion.

Everything went as the Night Haunter wished, and soon the entire the Rock was thrown into chaos.

Meanwhile, the Night Haunter had already arrived outside the room where Sevatar was being held.

Bang!

The door was violently broken open, and the Night Haunter looked at Sevatar, who was being held captive.

"Yeah, we do look a bit shabby right now. We'll tidy ourselves up a bit once we get out."

Ever since he witnessed the Sevatar of the 30K era, the Night Haunter's standards and requirements for his own Prince of Crows have only become higher and stricter.

"Wake up, Sevatar."

The Night Haunter's Psychic Powers probed into Sevatar's soul, awakening him.

"Father... Father?!"

Sevatar, who had just opened his eyes, could not believe it; he even thought it was a hallucination of his impending death.

"It's me, Sevatar. We should go."

"Wait, take her with you."

Following Sevatar's gaze, the Night Haunter saw that in the same room imprisoned as him was a young girl named Otani, an Astropath.

"Alright, alright, my Prince of Crows, I have no problem bringing your little girlfriend along, and I'm sure Father will be very happy to see you have a girlfriend."

"Take good care of her, I'll take you out."

Then, the entire the Rock witnessed its biggest leak since the Lion's disappearance.

At the same time, they also witnessed a major secret.

"Ha, imprisoning my Scions deep within the Rock —I'll settle that score with Lion El'Jonson when he returns."

"However, witnessing the rebirth of the Night Lords should be a very valuable secret for you little kittens."

Goodbye, my dear nephews.

Suddenly, the Dark Angels lost their sight, as if they had fallen into an endless night.

There wasn't even a sliver of light.

When they regained their sight, the Primarch Horus Heresy that had just caused the entire Imperium to explode had vanished, as if nothing had ever happened.
