"Feel free to ask any questions. The situation isn't too urgent right now, and I can answer some of your questions," Han Mingxuan said with a smile.

"Have you betrayed the Imperium of Man? Have you allied with Daemon? Have you cultivated Xenos forces? Are you loyal to the Emperor?"

After asking those four questions, Wilchatu was just waiting to die.

"Your question is bold, Inquisitor, but I can tell you that the Imperium of Man is unimportant, and neither is its Emperor."

"Daemon are the enemy; Xenos will turn to ashes."

"So you really did betray the Imperium, and you betrayed the Emperor?"

In this era, loyalty that is not absolute is absolutely disloyal, let alone what Han Mingxuan said, which is utterly treasonous.

"For someone as loyal as you, there's no need for me to explain further."

"The reason I'm seeing you today is because I want to reach a cooperation agreement with the Inquisition."

"That's absolutely impossible, you traitor!"

Bang!

Wilchatu himself turned into a pool of blood mist, his soul watching helplessly as his body shattered into countless pieces.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a dizzying sensation, and then he returned to normal, but the pain had penetrated deep into his soul.

"You should show respect and awe to the Father of Night," Urtana said, standing behind Han Mingxuan.

Of those present, besides the members of the Evernight Legion, only Curze clearly saw Urtana's movements.

What exactly did you do to me?

A deep, soul-deep pain transformed into fear at that moment, spreading throughout the entire soul like a maggot clinging to the bone, impossible to remove.

"I'm just punishing you," Urtana said coldly.

"So, can we talk about cooperation now?"

"That's absolutely impossible, Father of Night. The mere presence of the Eighth Legion here poses the greatest threat to the entire Imperium of Man."

Don't you want to know why the Night Haunter is here?

"I won't believe a single word you say next, and you know that."

Han Mingxuan did not deny this point. If he said that the Night Haunter's appearance here was with the Emperor's tacit approval, the Inquisitor would definitely think he was crazy.

"Alright then, take him downstairs and let him calm down first, then I'll take him back to Terra."

Since we can't reach a certain level of cooperation with this Inquisitor on the front lines, let's have the Inquisitor's High Lord talk to him directly.

I originally intended to save time, but it seems I still have to make the trip.

"Sir, Sanguinius has arrived."

"Oh? Better late than never. Why is he here at this time? Urtana, go and greet him."

"Yes."

Soon, right under Wilchatu's nose, Sanguinius and Dante arrived before Han Mingxuan then handed him a Blackstone ring.

"As the saying goes, timing is everything. But since you're here, as a basis for cooperation, these special weapons are yours to use. Remember to assess the situation carefully when using them."

Sanguinius looked at the ring in his hand. The moment he held it, Sanguinius knew what was inside, but that was precisely what made him feel strange.

"Staff?"

"Yes, but it contains Supernova."

Supernova Staff?!

After Han Mingxuan said those words so casually, Sanguinius almost slipped the ring off his hand.

"Uncle, you're not kidding, are you?"

"With a formidable enemy at hand, I wouldn't joke about something like this. Don't worry, this thing works very well."

"You're insane!"

After learning that the weapon hidden in the ring was Supernova, Wilchatu couldn't help but speak up, even though he knew he was almost certainly going to die.

His shout immediately drew everyone's attention to him.

"Father of Night, you can't do this! What if Supernova explodes in the nearby star system...?"

"If you let the Orks and the Tyranids keep fighting, you'll see a new Ghazghkull Thraka, and at the same time, you'll see the Tyranids evolving without limit."

"Inquisitor, the Tyranids and Orks are a scourge to the Imperium of Man."

"Think about it carefully. My use of Supernova to destroy them and your use of burning Planets into glass to create vacuum zones are the same methods."

"Alright, take him away."

Then Wilchatu and his group were taken away, but just as he was about to leave, one of his pieces of equipment exploded.

White powder erupted from the device; it was the ashes of Living Saint.

This was Wilchatu's last resort; he needed to know exactly what the Father of Night was.

However, nothing happened after the ashes of the Living Saint were scattered in the air.

"Your farce must end, human Inquisitor."

The last voice in Wilchatu's consciousness was Urtana's, carrying a chilling killing intent.

"Uncle, what do you think of the Inquisition's actions?"

"Don't be nervous, Sanguinius. What the Inquisition did may seem irrational, but from their perspective, it was the inevitable outcome."

"Alright, now that you and your Legion are in place, I'll take these Inquisitors to Terra."

It seems I have no choice but to make this trip to Terra.

With time running out and the mission pressing, and the Orks and Tyranids already in position, Han Mingxuan didn't plan to travel to Terra aboard the Gloriana-class Battleship.

After taking away everyone from the Inquisition who came to provide support, Han Mingxuan directly crossed the Warp and arrived at Holy Terra.

"Mr. Han, I hope everything goes well on your end."

"I don't have anything major on my end. Right now, I need the cooperation of the Inquisition, or more precisely, I need the cooperation of the High Lords."

"Don't worry, Mr. Han, I will make the Huangpizi perform its miracles at the right time."

Soon after Han Mingxuan's arrival, the High Lords convened a meeting.

"Great Father of Night, may I ask what brings you to this High Lords' Council?"

"No need to pretend anymore. I think everyone here has heard about the Inquisitor deployment in that star sector."

"I need your full cooperation now, and I hope you will not refuse."

The High Lords present never expected that the Father of Night would so directly bring things up.

"Don't overcomplicate things. I've brought the Inquisition's main force with me. Now I need your statements."

Now the High Lords are silent, and even the current Ecclesiarch dares not speak.

The fact that the Father of Night has appeared here unharmed, in Holy Terra, means that all their judgments were wrong.

This is Holy Terra, after all. No Daemon can roam freely and calmly under the Emperor's nose.

Buzz!

At that moment, the High Lords ' Sisters of Battle Superior suddenly burst forth with golden light.

Immediately afterwards, the voices of millions of men and women echoed from her mouth.

Those who have witnessed the miracles of Emperors know that it is the voice of the Emperor.

"Everything is at the Father of Night's disposal. After this event, the Night Haunter and his Scions, who have been inspired, will receive redemption and forgiveness."
