According to the case files recorded in the Inquisition, wherever the Night Lords appeared, it was inevitably accompanied by terrorist attacks.

This incident is more terrifying than anything recorded before.

The appearance of the Night Lords is terrifying, and similarly, Night Lords presence on such a beautiful Planet is even more frightening.

At this moment, Wilchatu couldn't help but wonder if the Ordo Xenos could handle this matter alone.

A Legion that had betrayed the Imperium, along with its Flagship, appeared on a beautiful Planet not far from Old Nostramo.

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like a simple Xenos rampage or a gathering of Heretics.

This is a conspiracy by the Chaos Daemons!

"Immediately mobilize all available Storm Troopers in the vicinity, and immediately contact all available Deathwatch units."

"Including but not limited to the Sisters of Battle, and the Battle Brothers of the Ordo Malleus."

Wilchatu's orders caused his entourage to momentarily lapse into a daze.

It is no exaggeration to say that this Inquisitor's order mobilized the entire Inquisition.

The Ordo Xenos, the Ordo Hereticus, and the Ordo Malleus.

What frightened the attendants most was not the first two, but the last one.

The Ordo Malleus.

There are very few events that would warrant the intervention of the Ordo Malleus, and those that do occur are all cases of malignant Chaos contamination.

"My lord, the Father of the Evernight is right here. Shouldn't we be more cautious?"

Wilchatu and nodded painfully.

"I know, I know the Father of the Evernight is here, and that's why we need to gather all the resources the entire Inquisition can muster."

There's a saying that often circulates among the Inquisitor in the Inquisition.

Innocence is just innocence; it proves nothing.

Doubt is not just doubt; it does not mean losing trust, but simply fulfilling one's duty.

Throughout the three major monastic orders of the Inquisition, both lower- Inquisitor and higher- Inquisitor held these two maxims in unwavering faith.

But right now, Wilchatu desperately wishes both of those statements were utter nonsense.

The Father of the Evernight and the Nightfall were both in near-Earth orbit around the same Planet suggests that the Father of Night might indeed be connected to the Eighth Legion.

That would be the most terrifying blow to the entire Imperium of Man.

The arrival of the Father of Night brought unprecedented changes to the Imperium, but what if the Father of Night himself was an agent of the will of Chaos?

If this matter is verified, the negative impact it will have will be immense and unparalleled.

At that time, the very legitimacy and purity of the Great Angel Sanguinius, who has only recently Resurrection, will be subject to the most serious scrutiny.

Just thinking about this made Wilchatu's soul tremble.

He hoped none of this was real; if it were, it would be terrifying.

At the same time he issued the order, he gathered his trusted confidants, formed an elite squad, and then disguised them as refugees.

"Gentlemen, our mission is to Investigation the specific situation on this Planet. Our sole objective is to transmit the information back; our own lives are of little concern."

"Please remember this at all times: whatever you see or hear, your only responsibility is to record and send it; do not do anything out of line."

"Once reinforcements arrive, I will first try to meet with the Father of Night and confront him, and then we will take further action."

"Gentlemen, all for the sake of the Imperium! The God-Emperor stands with us!"

"For the Emperor!"

After the pre-battle mobilization concluded, Wilchatu, along with his trusted confidants, arrived at Punishment Star aboard a Refugee Ship.

Everything went smoothly as he planned, and everything was progressing in an orderly manner. However, when they actually set foot on the land of Punishment Star, they were still shocked by what they saw.

This is simply the greatest Paradise World!

"What are you vagrants looking at? This is a gift from the Father of Night to the Night Haunter, negotiated between the Father of Night and the Necrons."

The Father of Night and the Necrons are negotiating?

A gift for the Night Haunter?!

This... this is impossible!

"I'm so sorry, sir, we refugees are truly ignorant and have never seen the world."

"Alright, no need to explain. After you complete the registration here, someone will take you to the residential area."

Wilchatu nodded his thanks and left with his men.

However, just as he was leaving, the official in charge of registration behind him gave a strange smile.

[Attention everyone, the Inquisition's lackeys have entered.]

[Company Commander Weiss, should we take them out?]

[No need. Since these lackeys want to see the current state of this Planet, let them see. As long as they don't commit any destructive acts, let them be.]

[Furthermore, as per the Father of Night's instructions, if these guys request a meeting, then let them go see the Father of Night.]

[Company Commander Weiss, isn't this too dangerous? Sending a bunch of mad dogs from the Inquisition directly to meet the Father of Night?]

Don't worry, this was all arranged by the Father of Night.

After ending the team call, Weiss contacted Kamon.

[Lord Kamon, it seems the Imperium Inquisitors don't want to enter the Punishment Star through the proper channels; they've already infiltrated.]

Kamon, who was originally responsible for meeting the Inquisitor, felt much more relaxed after hearing the news.

[The rats who have already infiltrated are in your hands. If they misbehave, beat them to death with sticks. As for the things outside, leave them to me and my old brothers.]

[No matter how many people arrive later, I guarantee that the plans inside the Planet will not be affected.]

Since Trazyn had Ms. Jia perform genetic modifications on them,

To be honest, they haven't really gotten serious yet.

Hopefully, the Inquisitor of this world can provide them with some unexpected warm-up training.

After ending the call with Weiss, Kamon looked at his teammates.

"Old comrades, the time has come to serve the Father of Night!"

"All for the Father of Night!"

For these Thunder Warriors, pre-battle meetings are unnecessary.

All they needed was an action plan, and their tacit understanding in combat had already been honed during the previous Unification Wars.

"Captain, according to the message just received from Krete, most of the forces that the Inquisition can mobilize in this sector are on their way."

"All three major religious orders of the Inquisition are here?"

"No, according to the current intelligence, the Ordo Xenos and the Ordo Hereticus have mobilized a large number of troops and are heading here. As for the Ordo Malleus, there is no clear indication of their movements yet."

"Understood. Don't worry about their specific movements. As long as they come, we'll deal with them. It's that simple."

"Clear!"

Inside Punishment Star, Wilchatu and his group, who had already been settled in, looked at the orderly residential area, but felt increasingly cold inside.

This orderly and Order state shouldn't exist on such a remote and beautiful Planet.

Adding the crucial factor of the Night Lords, Wilchatu considered a very terrifying possibility.

This place is not only tainted by Chaos pollution, but also by Genestealer.

Based on his experience as Inquisitor the Ordo Xenos, he made his judgment.

If everything on an obscure Planet suddenly Order, then there must be Genestealer interfering.

If a Planet is immersed in a strange and unsettling sense of Order, then Chaos pollution is inevitable.

From Wilchatu, the entire Punishment Star now fully meets both of the above conditions.

Furthermore, what he has seen and heard since landing has completely confirmed his conjecture.

The Father of Night, the Night Haunter, the Night Lords, the Necrons, the Tyranids, and the Chaos Daemons.

If not handled properly, this place could become the next Eye of Terror.
