Corax, who single-handedly established the Inquisition, has disappeared. Severta, the mastermind of the Assassin's Court, temporarily takes over the Inquisition and forms a close friendship with Vincent of the Ministry of the Interior, despite their age difference.
The Ministry of the Interior began infiltrating the Assassin's Court around that time.
On the day of Sanguis' ascension, Severta once again successfully sided with Mortarion, foreshadowing Guilliman's later massacre of Terra's high command—allowing the Assassin's Court and the Inquisition to retain some semblance of life and respite.
But Cevita himself has disappeared into the annals of history.
This intelligent Space Marine—far more intelligent than the Primarch himself—was probably among the first to glimpse Macador's methods.
Hades pondered for a moment,
“I don’t know exactly where he is. If you really want to find him, perhaps you can ask Mortarian.”
Hades saw the expression on Bat Karen's face freeze instantly. He thanked her somewhat angrily and then fell silent.
...It seems Mortarion has a grudge against these bat bastards?
Hades thought of this, but he didn't intend to make things difficult for these little bats, because the Assassin's Court and the Inquisition, which were already not very productive legions, were terribly few in number.
Hades then looked at the raven in the courtroom.
What do you think of the Grey Knights?
Hades asked, "Was it you who initially brought up the unpopular Grey Knights in the Inquisition and directly handed over oversight of the Grey Knights' three psychic divisions?"
Stryker frowned imperceptibly, as if choosing the right words.
“Even from our perspective, they were killing indiscriminately.”
So the raven said.
Hades smiled helplessly. "It's time to make them back down."
There was a moment of silence. The documents and other applications had already been submitted. Since Terra replaced the Ultramarines' administrative system, everything that was ambiguous except for meetings had been erased, so there was no need to waste each other's time with small talk.
“Other…” Hades thought for a moment, “Do you have any files on the First Legion and the Lion King? I’d like to see them.”
----------
【Comoros】
【Sports,】
Coz tilted his head; beneath his feet lay the flesh and blood of a lion's unfinished offspring. Another failure.
【How are you? 】
“Don’t worry,” Sevita said, “those wildcats can’t beat me.”
Koz chuckled. "Sai, you shouldn't have come to see me."
"I was imprisoned by the emperor because of my own lack of skill; it has nothing to do with you."
Severta replied that after a long chase, Cypher finally shook him off and disappeared into the darkness.
Cypher, the most mysterious person in the First Legion, or perhaps a group of people, but it doesn't matter. There is only one Cypher, and he represents only one person.
Sevita's experience and intuition, honed by working in the Tribunal and the Assassins' Court, told her that the Lion King's affair was not so simple—
At least it wasn't as the Primarch claimed, that the Lion took the Tuchucha Engine and then fled to hide in the Comoros.
He felt something was off. Perhaps it was from Cypher's movements, or perhaps it was just a general feeling that something was amiss. If he were a lion, he wouldn't choose the Comoros as a hiding place while being hunted by Macado; that would be tantamount to courting death.
You're telling another lame joke.
Koz stood up. He still missed the feeling of standing barefoot in a pool of blood, not now. His boots were shiny black, with regular diamonds set into them.
Koz looked at Sevita, who was still somewhat dirty and violent, with no treasures or diamonds... The Primarch was somewhat frustrated. He was happy that Sevita was spared this torture, but saddened by his own situation.
He did not restrict you; you did it voluntarily.
Sevita glanced at the Primarch; the Emperor hadn't really imposed many restrictions on him—this tyrant always had a strange leniency towards the Empire's talents, which was why he was here, and also why Sevita continued to investigate the First Legion without telling Koz anything.
Sevita would never tell Conrad that their thinking might be wrong.
He had long since learned to conceal and deceive the Primarch; the real decision-making power should not have been given to Conrad.
The Crow Prince hummed casually a few times, and the final topic still turned to the Night Lord's personal health.
“You should take care of your health,” Sevita said. “Spending too much time with the Dark Eldar is not good for your health, both mentally and physically.”
------------
【Makulag】
Fog filled the secret room where the three had once discussed things, and the aura of death seeped out. Calga, who was waiting in the room, felt a chill all over his body, and the elder brother of the think tank beside him was obviously also a little nervous.
The silhouette of a moth appeared, and a lantern hung from a giant scythe.
He's waiting for you.
Mortarian said indifferently, stretching out his hand and throwing a wisp of mist toward the Ultramarines' think tank.
Go find him.
The Primarch's form vanished once more, and far away on Terra, the Black Stone Coffin aboard the Resilient remained empty.

[Topic: Why is Hades a god?]
[Posted by: Cheer for Hades (Lv2)]
[1th Floor: Cheering for Hades (LV2)]
First, why do we call Hades a god? Because he is a god, so we call him a god.
Secondly, since Hades took office, production in my region has increased by a fucking 3.54 times. The design and improvement of the production line are all part of the first and second level modules. You may say that the information provided by the Academy is not as efficient as the information you have privately hoarded—but it provides us, the edge explorers, with an opportunity to easily obtain resources.
Again, the conservative faction is trying to lecture me on doctrine. Which old bastard in the Forging World doesn't do his own "archaeology"? Now Mars and the major Forging Worlds are leading the innovation process—I don't want to miss this opportunity, so we must believe in Pluto, pray fervently, and wipe out all those damn opposition parties.
That's why Hades is a god.

Stop creating new threads. There are already dedicated threads for you to praise Hades; the top three pinned threads are for that.
+3.

Explorers are concerned with the region's production efficiency, so aren't they usually traveling by ship?
[Reply to: (Original Poster: Cheer for Pluto (LV2)): 3.54 times. Anyone whose thought engine isn't a 4076-year-old relic knows what this means. By the way, our ship has already started discussing finding a foolish, rich planet governor for long-term cooperation.]

+1, I agree with the original poster's point of view. For thousands of years, the Mechanicus has been an appendage of various armies and legions, and a technician in the eyes of planetary governors. I think we all know that only Hades can lead the Mechanicus to glory. Don't be misled by the ignorant talk of the outside world. Only Hades can save the Mechanicus.
I reiterate my point: only Hades can save Mechanicus, not Om Messiah. Hades is not made noble by Om Messiah; rather, Om Messiah is Hades, which is why we believe in Om Messiah.
Think about that person from ten thousand years ago, how did he treat us? I don't want to say more; those who understand, understand; those who don't, won't understand even if I explain.
[7th Floor: Making money is the primary motivation (LV2)]
I saw your profile; we're in the same Herrera sector. Are you interested in making a pilgrimage to Mars on Terra to worship Pluto? We could pool our resources and send a ship.
[Reply: (Original Poster: Calling for Hades (LV2)): The pilgrimage has been written into my underlying logic code, but I am in the most remote nebula area of the Herrera sector, and the ship cannot leave at the moment. I have to wait at least five years.]
Reply to reply: Making money is the primary motivation (LV2): As expected of an explorer, always so busy.
Reply to reply: Original poster: Calling for Hades (LV2): Heh, I was banished by the Grand Master back then. If I didn't perform up to his expectations, my source of knowledge would be cut off, and I would be sent to explore in a distant place.
Reply to reply: Making money is the primary motivation (LV2): Bro, you still have ideals. Keep digging. Explorers are gambling on turning their lives around. I heard that Hades is also recruiting explorers recently.
Reply to the original poster: Calling for Hades (LV2): This is the real God—knowing who is useful and who are parasites of the Mechanicus.
Reply to the original poster: Calling for Hades (LV2): When and how do you plan to get to Terra? The location is too remote, I don't think it's easy to get there, the journey will take at least three years.
Reply to reply: Making money is the primary motivation (LV2): Bro, didn't you know that Rodrigo, which is three star sectors away in the Herrera sector, has started construction on the bullet bow? It's that empty shell that was completely unusable before, but this time Hades personally ordered Rodrigo to forge the world, and construction has resumed.

Thanks to Brother Gaoqian for the good news. I'll pray one last time; you don't need to wait for me.

OP, please don't prevent everyone from praying to Hades.

Re: Making money is my primary motivation (LV2): Great Sage, could you please reveal something?
[10th Floor: Hello Tomorrow (LV4):]
I can say that this is the best era for the development of the Mechanicus. The great sages who have been in contact with me have already started to make moves. New projects are being initiated every day. We are just waiting for Pluto to make a move. I suggest that you catch up as soon as possible.
Now, as long as you don't touch the psionic field and instead develop in areas like people's livelihood, military industry, and the environment, some "small innovations" are welcome.
As for the transportation issues being touted on the forum, I'll just say this: this area has long been monopolized, and we can't shake the status of the French—unless you think you have extraordinary talent and want to challenge their ten thousand years of accumulated experience.
Furthermore, there are forces within us that oppose Hades; they are few and stubborn, but in my opinion, they are completely vulnerable.
There's not much to say. Hades is now in a dominant position. He can be considered a saint simply by sharing knowledge and rebuilding a network, not to mention that he has solved the pollution of chaos.
They're all wise men, nothing more to say. Those who can get on board should get on early; those who can't, then sit at the table and be the food.
[Reply to: Electric wire tied with socks (LV1): What do you think of the anti-Pluto forces outside of the Mechanicus?]
Reply to reply: Hello Tomorrow (LV4): It's hard to say, this part is very complicated and chaotic, but I will only say one thing: if you are a member of the Mechanicus, and the Forging World you belong to is neutral or close to the Hades faction, then it is a good thing to take the initiative to trip up these guys who have no thought engine.
Reply to reply: 765438 (LV5): The analysis is correct. Hades has now tied himself to the Mechanicus chariot. Compared to other forces, the Mechanicus is a force directly under his command. They share the same fate, and the greater forging world has already pledged allegiance. Individuals should not go against the tide.
And, pray to Hades often.
Reply to reply: Hello Tomorrow (LV4): Nice to meet you, shall we chat privately?
Reply to reply: 765438 (LV5): Okay.
[11th Floor: a111aa Add me privately (LV1) *Banned for violation*:]

Chapter 631 Damn it
Terra is a sacred place for every human being.
The stars twinkled in the pitch-black night, their edges sharp. They walked through the snow, one foot deep, the other shallow, awaiting their fate to be judged.
Serious, silent, and similarly physique-bound black-armored warriors marched on either side of the column, flanking the group of people dressed in uniform civilian clothes. Further along the column were taciturn Space Marines, their black armor blending into the night. Only the incessant murmurs of the old man from the Underworld at the front of the column could be seen.
