Warhammer, about my years with the Wolfpack

"Yes, sir, that is indeed an ancient AI." Ramon did not avoid the topic.

"I've been looking through some information, and it mentioned that in ancient times, a rebellion caused by AI led to the decline of human civilization. Our father didn't like AI before, and now there are many restrictions on AI. But why is an AI allowed to hold such an important position in the legion?"

"First of all, we can be sure that this AI has done nothing detrimental to humanity in its long career. Whether it was during humanity's glorious period or the subsequent AI rebellion, it has always stood on the side of humanity. So from a legal point of view, he is innocent and has made meritorious contributions," said Ramon.

"Haha, you're talking to me about legal principles? I'm quite surprised," Guilliman teased. To some extent, the Emperor's servants acted with impunity. Let's put it this way: as long as they weren't targeting the Primarch, the Emperor's servants could theoretically disregard any Imperial law. They could execute without authorization, dismiss fleet commanders or sub-moffice governors at will. No written permission or Terran orders were needed; all they had to do was ask. Of course, this was only in theory; most of the time, the Emperor's servants' actions remained within certain bounds.

"I am telling the truth, your excellency," said Ramon.

"Well, what about the other reasons?" Guilliman continued.

"Another problem is that he himself is threatened by the evil god, and he also needs to return to human society and continue to promote his evolution and development in human civilization. At this level, we have common interests. An AI cannot evolve independently without a civilization. At the same time, we have a common enemy, so common interests have led to an agreement between the Empire and him." Ramon said.

"Well, that's one reason, but neither of those two is sufficient," Guilliman said. As the Primarch of the Ultramarines, Guilliman wasn't naive. In fact, over his century-plus of campaigning, he'd made frequent use of the Extermination Order and other similar devices, claiming many lives unjustly. The number of non-threatening xenos and human pocket empires abounded, but that didn't stop Guilliman from wiping them out for their own lands... The Great Crusade of Humanity was based on the principle that those who obeyed prospered, those who disobeyed perished. A surrendered human world could guarantee its continued dominion, but resistance would be met with a vengeance.

"That AI is a complete AI. It is not only a computing center and a treasure trove of knowledge, but also a complete industrial system and a complete legion. Do you know what this means? It means that if this existence is fully mobilized, it can even rival an entire legion. Therefore, based on strength and status, when the other party shows enough goodwill and can sign a contract, then accepting him is always better than being hostile to him." Ramon said.

"I understand. That's a very valid reason," Guilliman nodded. The Empire would accept the surrender and taxation of a planet ruled by a corrupt aristocracy, let alone an AI with a large military and a clean record. The Empire had previously swept through AI-ruled worlds, but that was because the AIs didn't treat humans as human, and those AIs weren't particularly powerful, so they were eradicated. And the Lord of Radiance's claim of possessing "weapons of mass destruction" wasn't an exaggeration. There was some truth to that. Even across tens of thousands of years, this remained constant, even between different civilizations.

"There is no problem with this person's loyalty. The Emperor and the Traveler can guarantee it, but at the same time, it is also based on strength and past. This person may be a little arrogant." Ramon said.

"I understand. I will pay attention." Guilliman nodded and said, "If you and this body of his have an unlimited battle, who will win?" Guilliman said with some curiosity.

"If there really is no limit, the two of us together are no match for it." Ramon said after thinking for a while.

"Emmmmm." Guilliman remained silent. While Guilliman was complaining about the Lord of Radiance, on the Absolute Reason, Jonson and the Lord of Radiance were also discussing Guilliman. Although Jonson was grateful for Guilliman's support, he was also wary. After all, the scale of Guilliman's legion was truly too large, and it seemed that it was not very transparent.

----------

"First of all, it is certain that Guilliman is loyal. There is no doubt about that." The Lord of Radiance said after listening to Johnson's confession.

"Why? One of my brothers has fallen into the Abyss, so why not Guilliman?" asked Jonson.

"This issue will be very complicated, involving the game between fate and high-dimensional forces. I don't understand it either, but as the most powerful beings on the human side, there will basically be no problems with what the Emperor and the Traveler have decided. And Guilliman's own loyalty has been recognized by the two Supremes." said the Lord of Radiance.

"Well, since father has approved, I won't ask any more questions." Zhuang Sen nodded and said, the good thing about Zhuang Sen is that he basically executes the emperor's orders 100%. The emperor said it was okay, so Zhuang Sen naturally would not pursue it.

"If loyalty can be guaranteed, then Guilliman is truly outstanding among my brothers. He can govern such a vast star region and at the same time build a legion that is one of the largest in the world." After receiving the Emperor's guarantee, Johnson's attitude towards Guilliman changed, and his original suspicion and vigilance disappeared.

"Guilliman is still a good Primarch, especially his business and management skills, which are basically the best among the Primarchs, and can even be compared with Malcador. Although his military ability is average, it is also at an upper-middle level." said the Lord of Radiance.

"Just good? I thought you would give it an excellent evaluation." Zhuang Sen said with some surprise.

"Guilliman is indeed excellent, but there is still room for improvement. He still has flaws, or rather, some of his own actions are too naive." said the Lord of Radiance.

"Naive? Where does that come from?" Zhuang Sen asked with some confusion.

"Guilliman believes that reason and science can solve all problems. He himself clearly has a very good psychic talent, but deep down in his heart, he hates these things. He is even more resistant to this power than Perturabo because he thinks it is unreliable and dangerous, so he doesn't use it. He is a benevolent monarch. He believes that problems can be solved by relying on conventional means and concepts, which restricts his hands and feet. Moreover, he is very easy to compromise on some internal issues instead of using decisive means to solve problems." said the Lord of Radiance.

The Lord of Radiance was indeed worthy of being an ancient AI. Having spent millennia in human society, he possessed a profound understanding of human civilization and individuals. His analysis of Guilliman was also spot-on. Simply put, Guilliman was capable, but he was often filled with unrealistic fantasies.

For example, in the background, Hill suggested considering how to deal with other Legions, and this was rebuked by Guilliman. In fact, the Space Wolves Primarch Russ even systematically studied how to deal with other Legions, and the Dark Angels watched all suspicious existences with a wary eye.

After the Heresy, Guilliman single-handedly destroyed all the loyal Legions, shattering the once powerful Legions into fragments. Some of this logic clearly doesn't make sense. Are the Legions unreliable because Horus rebelled? Come on, isn't the Mechanicum in a different rebellion than the mortal world? If the Supreme Ruler of Mars rebelled, shouldn't Mars be dismantled as well and then garrisoned there? As for the mortal world? All I can say is, with the Imperial government's footsteps, there are plenty of rebellions.

And even if they were to dismantle it, they shouldn't have done it so small. A thousand-man Codex was only the size of a company of the Legion during the Great Crusade. This act of throwing the baby out with the bathwater was utterly irrational. It wasn't that it couldn't be dismantled, but the method was too extreme. As for why Guilliman agreed, he probably had many reasons. But this decision was clearly a compromise with other factions within the Imperium. And this compromise was disadvantageous. It also indirectly led to Guilliman being put into stasis by Fulgrim...

All I can say is that the Lion left the stage too early. If he were still around, Guilliman's celebration wouldn't have been a thousand-person affair. After all, Dorn wouldn't actually strike, but the Lion certainly dared! What's the bigger picture? The bigger picture means if you're weak, they're strong. Don't even mention the civil war destroying the Empire; some wouldn't dare. Think about how many Inquisitions mysteriously disappeared while investigating the Daemon, and then nothing happened? Many people know the Daemon has its secrets, but would you dare to tell them?

In the 40th century, some were powerless in the face of the split DA. In the 30th century, would those same individuals dare to say no to the Lions and Legions? Many things aren't impossible, but simply unacceptable! Just like why the lone Wolf Chapter dared to confront the Inquisition, while Calgar, with his numerous descendants, didn't punish the Tauren Chapter for pillaging his own chapter.

"People who are not bound by conventional things and use decisive means to solve problems are generally called tyrants or cruel people. To a certain extent, my legion and the Fourth Legion are responsible for such tasks. We cannot be understood by most people. They will doubt us, fear us, and even curse us, but we still have to carry out these darkest tasks." The Lion King said with emotion.

The Dark Angels' code of conduct is to use any means necessary to achieve victory. They employ all manner of forbidden means to eliminate their enemies for honorable and noble purposes. However, the role of executioner is clearly unpopular.

"We all have our own goals and missions. Guilliman just needs to do his job. Some things can be left to us. After all, we are the last line of defense for the Empire." said Jonson.

"Yes, I agree with you on this point. It is always better to be decisive than to be indecisive." said the Lord of Glory.

At this moment, as the fleet arrived at Macragge, the veil between the void and reality opened, and the massive fleet entered the physical universe. Inexplicably, the Warmaster and Regent of a certain XX Empire met on this occasion, a scene that drew considerable interest from travelers from higher dimensions.

"Jonson and Guilliman are both very good children. I hope they can become close partners and friends." The Emperor said thoughtfully.

"Both of them are proud and have their own persistence, so I asked the Lord of Radiance to mediate. I think the effect will be very good." said the traveler.

"In fact, it would be better if it was Sanguinius, right?" asked the Emperor.

"Sanguinius' noble character and personality can make both sides calm down and sit down to talk, but it is still difficult for him to solve some difficult problems. After all, the Lord of Radiance is experienced." said the traveler.

"Then I hope this arrangement will work," said the Emperor.

"Welcome, my brother. Lord of the First Legion, respected Supreme Master of the Legion." Looking at Johnson in front of him, Guilliman quickly walked up to him.

"Thanks to your invitation, my legion and I have come to Macragge. I hope we can have a good friendship. For the sake of the human empire and our father, we will create a new era together." Zhuangsen said with a smile, and his cold and majestic face was also filled with a warm smile.

The welcoming ceremony was definitely worthy of the status of the two Primarchs, but at the same time it was not too ostentatious. After all, whether it was the Dark Angels or the Ultramarines, the meeting of the two Primarchs of the first-class legions always made people imagine. Whether it was from Terra or other brothers, if the meeting was too high-profile, it would obviously not be a good thing.

"Your Excellency's arrival also brings honor to my humble humble abode." Guilliman looked at the Lord of Radiance beside the Lion King. Based on his strength and status, Guilliman gave the other the respect he deserved. However, his eyes were filled with curiosity and a touch of vigilance. He longed to know what it was like to be such a being who had lived for thousands of years and who even the Emperor and the Traveler had to face.

"Your Excellency's Ultramar is undoubtedly the most civilized and prosperous star region in the galaxy at this time. You have built it into a paradise for humanity, the jewel of the human empire. It is an honor to be here," the Lord of Radiance said sincerely. Although the Lord of Radiance considered Guilliman naive, he still admired his abilities and character. As the Traveler said, farming is a rare skill. And Guilliman is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding among them.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two sides came to a conference room to begin discussing the main topic. Because some sensitive issues were involved, there were only two Primarchs and the Lord of Radiance in the entire room. The Emperor's attendants of the two Primarchs did not participate because the latter believed that this was a communication between the Primarchs, and they represented the Emperor and the Traveler, so it was inconvenient for them to participate.

--------

"I actually can't understand why Ferrus would give up such an opportunity to prove himself. He is also excellent. We once shouldered the front line of the entire Randan War together." Zhuang Sen asked.

"Ferus has his own things to do. He wants to devote his energy to war and forging." Guilliman thought for a while and said. He naturally knew the most fundamental reason why Ferrus did not participate in the election. On the one hand, Ferrus was unwilling to waste his energy on aspects that had nothing to do with war and forging.

Another factor was his suspicion of Mortarion. He saw Mortarion's participation in this campaign alongside Horus as an opportunity. Although Guilliman trusted Ferrus greatly, he didn't want to disclose this to anyone else, especially these two, until he had sufficient evidence. Jonson and his First Legion were worthy of being the Emperor's foremost thugs, and the Iron Warriors were a formidable force!

Hearing this, Jonson did not respond. He looked at Guilliman, whose expression was a little unnatural and nervous, and then looked at the Lord of Radiance beside him. The Lord of Radiance did not speak, but looked at Guilliman.

"I had thought we could be honest with each other this time," the Lion King said sternly. "I never doubted Ferrus's loyalty or ability. After all, we experienced the Randan War together, that hopeless battlefield, and yet we persevered. We withstood." Faced with the Lion King's probing, Guilliman remained silent.

"Ferus must have noticed something unusual, so he decided to investigate. These irregularities may point to one of your brothers." Realizing that Guilliman didn't intend to speak directly, the Lord of Radiance sighed inwardly. He decided to bring this up. After all, he knew about Mortarion and the Death Guard during his conversation with the Traveler. For some reason, some of the corrupted Death Guard had revealed their true colors, so Ferrus's search for evidence and his punishment of these individuals had the approval of both the Emperor and the Traveler.

The Lion King subconsciously glanced at the Lord of Radiance, because the Lord of Radiance had not mentioned this matter before. The Lion King realized that he should know some truth. But now Guilliman did not want to say it for some reason.

"It seems that the brothers from the Fourth Legion are right. Ferrus has discovered something abnormal about one of our brothers." The Lion King said to Guilliman, whose expression changed slightly but who still refused to give in.

"It's no secret that some Legions are in trouble. So far, four have already been affected. They are our brothers, we are all descendants of the Emperor, and now, bewitched by the Warp or some other reason, they have stood against humanity and the Imperium. What an intolerable crime is this? I thought that having dealt with the two Primarchs and their Legions was enough, but I didn't expect there would be more." Jonson's anger was evident. He stared at Guilliman, making him feel tremendous pressure. But Guilliman did not retreat.

"Ferus only found some evidence, and this evidence points to certain legion officers and soldiers, and does not involve our brothers, so we have to find evidence and then understand the context of the matter. I don't think it is the time to accuse any of our brothers." Guilliman still gritted his teeth and did not say who he suspected.

"I agree with your evaluation of my brother." The Lion King said bitterly. He looked at the Lord of Radiance. Obviously, he agreed with the Lord of Radiance's evaluation of Guilliman's naivety.

"Forget it, let's leave it at that. You can have fantasies about one of your brothers, but you must be prepared." The Lord of Glory said with a smile.

"Your Excellency knows?" Guilliman asked in surprise. Ferrus had told Guilliman that he had only shared this news with a handful of people, including the Emperor and himself. And these few people probably didn't include the Fourth Legion. After all, given the Fourth Legion's behavior, if they knew about this, wouldn't they immediately be ready to deal with certain people?

"Haha, a man who is obsessed with numerology. He thinks he is away from psionic energy and the warp, but in fact he is very interested in the secrets therein. I have seen many such guys in the past few thousand years." The Lord of Radiance said. His information came from the traveler, and it was naturally easy to find the reason with the answer.

"But there's no direct evidence, and he's about to participate in the Battle of Ullanor. I've always believed he's still pure, but some people have been seduced by the evil of the Warp," Guilliman defended Mortarion. "Of course, more importantly, our father hasn't expressed his opinion yet."

"Well, I hope you are right this time," the Lion King said. "After the Battle of Ullanor, if it is proven that there are other traitors among our brothers, I will show no mercy."

"Guilliman, you have unrealistic kindness and good intentions towards some people. You clearly know the answers to certain things, but you instinctively reject the truth. This is wrong." said the Lion King.

"So, Jonson, do you always assume the greatest malice towards your brothers? Do you regard everyone except yourself as a potential enemy? We need evidence, evidence that is enough to convince the other brothers. This is not only a military issue, but also a political issue. Punishing a Primarch rashly will bring unpredictable consequences to the Empire." Guilliman argued.

"However, this is not a reason for us to be indifferent. I would rather not participate in this operation against the Orks, but I must nip all crises in the bud. Obviously, Ferrus did the right thing. The Word Bearers and part of the Alpha Legion have rebelled, Magnus and his Thousand Sons are missing, and the Emperor's Children are being purified. And now there is another Death Guard. Don't you realize the seriousness of the problem?" said Zhuangsen.

"Ehmmmm." Hearing the conversation between the two Primarchs, the Lord of Radiance felt a headache. This was clearly supposed to be a meeting to forge alliances and renew friendships, so how could it have turned out like this? Were all Primarchs so self-absorbed and naive? The Lord of Radiance suddenly felt that, among these Primarchs, his emotional intelligence as an AI was actually quite high! How could this be justified?

"My two Primarchs, we'd better consider this carefully. Lord Guilliman's concerns are justified. After all, punishing a Primarch without sufficient evidence would cause a huge shock. Moreover, Mortarion is on good terms with the Luna Wolves Primarch, who holds immense influence within the Imperium. We cannot act rashly."

"Of course, we must take decisive action against traitors with conclusive evidence." The Lord of Glory then looked at Zhuang Sen. He hoped that Zhuang Sen's emotional intelligence would be online this time.

"Although I need to participate in this battle against the orcs, the Dark Angels can still provide assistance to Ferrus and his legion. As long as he agrees, the Dark Angels can provide some troops specifically targeting warp creatures and psychics. This force will be temporarily incorporated into Ferrus's command." Zhuangsen said.

"Phew, thankfully, Jonson's EQ is up to par this time," the Radiant Lord breathed a sigh of relief. Jonson's explanation and the Radiant Lord's coordination did indeed bring a more normal look to Guilliman's face.

"I will contact Ferrus and convey your goodwill," Guilliman said. Jonson was being respectful, handing over the command of a unit to another of his brothers. This was a rare occurrence in the history of the Dark Angels. It was a gesture of sincerity.

"Okay, let's talk about the Battle of Ullanor first. Although I cannot participate in this important war, the Ultramarines will still do their part for the Empire. I will send five chapters to participate in this war and cooperate with the First Legion and the Allied forces before the end of the war. The Raven Guard will also participate in this operation, and they will also become a helper to the First Legion. The Iron Hands of Ferrus will also send a 5-man force to participate in the war. As for the necessary materials and supplies, Ultramar will supply them on time." Guilliman said.

"Thank you and all my brothers for your generous assistance. I believe that in this war, our Legions, which participated in the Battle of Randan, will ultimately prove themselves and claim the glory that is ours," Jonson said gratefully. He hadn't expected the latter to be so willing to provide such significant assistance after the previous verbal conflict between the two sides. After all, five Ultramarines participating in the battle would mean 5 to 5 Ultramarines. This was already a terrifying number, barely equivalent to half a regular Legion. This level of support, from the not-so-social Guilliman, was truly a gesture of sincerity!

The Raven Guard and Iron Hands were equally willing to join the war. Their forces might not have been numerous, but at least they had demonstrated their support, and that was all that mattered. After Guilliman had provided a significant reinforcement of the Ultramarines, Jonson felt his numbers were not much less than Horus's. As for quality? Jonson believed that the legions that had participated in the Randal War would undoubtedly excel.

In the battle for the Warmaster position, Ferrus, Guilliman, and the others ultimately sided with Jonson. It wasn't that Guilliman harbored any ill will towards Horus, but rather that he simply considered Jonson the better choice. After all, Guilliman and the others felt that Horus hadn't been personally present in the battlefields of the Randan War for decades, a fact that had already irritated Guilliman. Furthermore, the Ultramarines had lost over 7 men in that war, a loss that would forever haunt Guilliman.

"If it's convenient for you, it would be best if you could contact the other Primarchs. After all, we have other brothers," Guilliman reminded. Battlefield performance is naturally an important criterion for selecting Warmasters, but many Primarchs still did not participate in this campaign. In this case, gaining their support, or at least keeping them neutral, is crucial.

"We have a huge advantage this time. The title of Warmaster is not just a glory for me, but also for all of our brothers who fought alongside us on the battlefield of Randan," Jonson said. This wasn't Jonson's confidence, but it was the truth. The Primarchs who had clearly joined his side were Dorn, Perturabo, Vulkan, Ferrus, Guilliman, and Corax. That made six Primarchs. On Horus' side were Fulgrim, Mortarion, and Angron. Those who had yet to declare their stance included the Angel, the Wolf King, the Khan, and Curze. Including the contestants themselves, there were fourteen Primarchs, and the remaining two, Lorgar and Alpharius, had already been declared traitors. Magnus's whereabouts were unknown. These individuals clearly needed to be excluded for the time being.

In theory, as long as Jonson wasn't particularly unpopular, and one of the four neutral Primarchs supported Jonson, the Warmaster's position would be secure. If one abstained, the outcome would be a tie. Furthermore, given the current situation, Mortarion would undoubtedly be reviewed in the future, and it was unclear whether he would even have a vote at that time.

Originally, Zhuang Sen's advantage was not so great. From the perspective of solid votes, the three were actually similar. However, with Ferrus turning to support Zhuang Sen, the situation became completely different.

"Well, I wish you success this time," Guilliman said. After a while of further conversation, the first meeting between the two sides came to an end.

Chapter 353 Traveler: Guilliman, you must learn to grasp the key points! (6K)

"My brother seems to be in a low mood, perhaps because of what I just said." After leaving the meeting room, Zhuang Sen said to the Lord of Radiance beside him.

"It's indeed inappropriate. You should express your opinion in a more tactful way." said the Lord of Glory.

"I believe that matters like these involving the contamination of the Warp and the Primarchs should not be treated with euphemism. We are discussing a serious matter," said Jonson.

"So, since you think you are not wrong, why do you still tell me?" The Lord of Glory asked with a frown.

"You can go and persuade my brother," said Zhuang Sen.

"You want me, an AI, to go?" The Lord of Radiance's entire CPU was broken. "That's your brother!"

"But I feel like you might be better at it."

"You leave me speechless..." said the Lord of Radiance.

----------

After the meeting, Guilliman left the venue with a heavy heart. He dismissed everyone except Ramon. Guilliman did not return to his office to attend to government affairs. Instead, he went to a large hall, magnificent but almost deserted. He opened the door and entered this hall, which had not been officially used since its construction. As the lights turned on, a throne appeared before him, flanked by 21 chairs, engraved with the symbols of all the Legions and the names of their Primarchs.

Guilliman sighed as he walked through the hall. Two chairs had been permanently covered, representing two Primarchs who had been completely obliterated. Even outsiders knew their names and pasts, their deeds bringing shame upon humanity and the Imperium. Perhaps it was best for them to be forgotten. Elsewhere, the chair representing the Word Bearers had been painted black, signifying yet another brother's betrayal of humanity and the Imperium. The chair of the XXth Legion had not been similarly shrouded, for Guilliman believed there was still a chance for redemption.

"Ramon, you know what? Ever since I returned to the empire, I've envisioned the day my father and all my brothers would gather together, reminisce about family time, and imagine a bright and glorious future for humanity. I believe humanity's rise is destiny. I believe my father can build an empire unprecedented in history, and I believe my brothers will assist him in accomplishing this grand task. But now, in just a few hundred years, some have already left us forever, and even more have become our enemies."

"I am very sad and angry about this, because I don't know what kind of benefits those evil beings promised to make our brothers betray their fathers, race, and the beautiful vision of the future."

"I really want to save them, but some of my brothers want to eradicate them completely. We are brothers after all, and our father is so powerful. Is there no chance of saving them?" Guilliman seemed to be talking to himself, or to Ramon beside him, or to the person behind him.

"You seem to want to ask someone?" Ramon said.

"Yes, I seek answers from my father and the god who once fought alongside us." Guilliman turned, carefully examining the intertwined blue and gold robes of the figure before him. The golden lines undoubtedly came from his father, the great Emperor. And the blue runes and their symbolism—after studying extensive texts on the Traveler's Order—had a flash of insight, and Guilliman understood: they were the Traveler's Mark. The power of all the Emperor's servants ultimately derives from these two higher-dimensional beings.

"Your father is dealing with certain matters, and another human venerable may respond to your request." Ramon bowed.

"I look forward to His help in resolving my earlier doubts and the present difficulties," Guilliman said. Ramon then left the house, and as the door closed, a blue beam of light appeared out of nowhere in the hall, transforming into a door. A moment later, the Traveler's clone emerged from the doorway, bearing the familiar face of Balder.

"Long time no see, Lord of Ultramar, Primarch of the Ultramarines," the Traveler greeted Guilliman with a smile. At this moment, looking at his once familiar yet now unfamiliar comrade, Guilliman felt a complex mix of emotions. While he was delighted to have his old friend back, he was also filled with trepidation at the man's mysterious and unfathomable identity and unimaginable power.

"What should I address you as? Lord Baldur, Supreme Lord of the Space Wolves? Or perhaps an aspect of the great and respected God of Travel, Lord of All Machines?" Guilliman asked.

"It doesn't matter, the name is just a code name," said the traveler.

"Then I will address you as Lord Balder, a name that makes me feel more intimate," said Guilliman.

"You already know about Lorgar, Alpharius and Fulgrim. You know that they have been contaminated and even controlled by the evil from the Warp. You are so powerful that you can come to me regardless of time and distance, so can you bring them back to our father in the same way?" Guilliman asked anxiously.

"Sorry, that's not possible, because in a higher dimension, they have obtained the protection of the evil god of the subspace. The evil god is stronger than me. Although my clone is more convenient in the physical universe, it does not have the power to directly penetrate the evil god's protection. I can't even determine their specific location." The traveler shook his head and said.

"Back then, you destroyed the Lord of Randan, an existence that almost made us feel invincible. Some people say that the Lord of Randan was only half a step away from becoming a god, but you still executed him." Guilliman asked.

"So, the Overmind of Randan is nothing more than a stumbling block on our way forward, and the Chaos God in the Warp is our greatest enemy. The Emperor is more powerful than me, and what he can't do, I naturally can't do either. Therefore, the war we are about to face will be a war for the entire human civilization, from the Emperor and me in the higher dimensions, to you, your brothers, and your descendants, to every mortal. We all have to fight for the continuation of civilization and the survival of the race. This war will continue. War will be the main theme in the galaxy. And now, fate is not on our side, so we must redouble our efforts. To seize power and that hard-won victory." said the traveler.

"So can our brothers still be saved? Will more brothers be bewitched?" asked Guilliman.

"Clearly, not all Primarchs approve of the Emperor and His actions, and this suspicion and even hostility makes them more susceptible to being seduced by the evil god. As for whether there is still hope? Actually, before considering these traitors, you'd better consider the safety of yourself and your loyalists first."

"What I said just now is very clear. At least at this stage, fate is not on our side. What's more, there are four people on the opposite side, and there are only me and your father on the human side. God is not omnipotent, especially when the opponent is also a god. Just imagine, in the Randan War, even if we have all the advantages, we still can't prevent the corruption of a certain erased Primarch. There are many reasons for whether a Primarch will fall, but the problem of the Primarch himself can never be avoided. Do you understand what I mean?" said the traveler.

"So, on this issue, you and Johnson have the same attitude? Eradicate all evil? You will never show mercy even to your brothers?" Guilliman said with some disappointment.

"...The Lord of Radiance called you naive." The Traveler's expression changed. "But I would also like to add that your understanding and intelligence fluctuate depending on your emotions."

"Guilliman, I repeat, what I mean is that you should not be concerned with how to deal with your traitorous brothers right now, but rather how to survive the coming great rebellion, and to keep as many of your descendants and subjects alive as possible. Before the long river of fate changes, do not think that you will have the opportunity to kill those Primarchs controlled by the evil gods. That is impossible. If we simply talk about strength, the Randan Overmind is much stronger than you are now, but why do you always win?"

The Traveler left Guilliman with one last shred of dignity, almost saying, "Because the Emperor is protecting you, you are able to thrive in this galaxy in crisis. Without the Emperor, it's hard to say!" "You still want to kill traitors at this time? Please, have some self-awareness!"

"Uh..." Guilliman was startled at the Traveler's words. He realized the crux of the matter: he was clearly the weaker party, and the weak shouldn't even think about showing mercy to their enemies! A rabbit showing mercy to a wolf? Isn't that crazy?
