Chapter 709 Ultramar War 8

“All great things require sacrifice.

In loyalty to the Emperor, our Immortal Lord, and by the grace of the Golden Throne,

I hereby sign the extermination order for the entire world, which is enough to make hundreds of billions of souls be forgotten forever;

Let imperial justice reign supreme in every order, may the Emperor be well and the Empire live forever."

"Praise the Emperor!"

"Praise the God Emperor!"

Countless adherents of the State Religion gathered inside the huge warship. They were scattered in every corner, praying devoutly.

Some people stood upright in the middle of the spacious cabin, with their hands clasped together and their eyes closed; some stood on both sides of the long and narrow aisle, their postures as straight as pine trees; and some people stayed on the bridge with solemn expressions.

The cold, hard steel surrounded and wrapped them mercilessly, as if to completely isolate them from the outside world.

But even in such an environment, the believers still hold the faintly glowing incense sticks tightly in their hands, chanting to themselves, and confessing to the gods their most sincere desires and prayers from the bottom of their hearts.

The faint scent of incense gradually spread, slowly sweeping across the entire battleship like a soft gauze.

The faint fragrance added a touch of mystery and tranquility to this solemn warship.

However, none of this could stop the fierce action that was about to unfold.

Several mechanical sages were seen skillfully manipulating the transport system and carefully stuffing a huge torpedo with a special logo into the torpedo launch bay.

As his operation was completed, many mechanical sages around him raised their voices in low and solemn prayers.

This torpedo is no ordinary cyclone torpedo, it is the famous bipolar torpedo - a more unique and exotic version of the cyclone torpedo.

Although the warhead of the bipolar torpedo is no different from that of the common Cyclone torpedo, the biggest difference between them is the completely different delivery system used.

Normally, most torpedoes detonate instantly upon impact with the target, causing a devastating blow.

But this bipolar torpedo is different. It will not explode easily due to a simple impact.

On the contrary, it is equipped with a super thermal energy warhead that can quickly penetrate the thick surface of the planet like an indestructible drill, all the way to the core of the planet before causing a shocking explosion.

It can be imagined that once this bipolar cyclone torpedo successfully hits the target, it will be a catastrophic disaster for that unfortunate planet.

The structural stability of the entire planet will be severely damaged, and in most cases, the world will be reduced to ashes and turned into ruins in this terrible explosion.

At this moment, the grim and serious Judge Isas stood like a silent sculpture in front of the spacious and bright window of the command room.

His deep eyes were now fixed on the planet beneath his feet which had completely fallen under the fierce attack of the Zerg.

For this battle-hardened and hard-hearted inquisitor, the decision and action of sacrificing 100 lives to save 101 lives has almost become commonplace in his daily life.

Every weighing of pros and cons, every life and death decision, is constantly sharpening his seemingly cold and ruthless heart.

At this moment, a respectful and humble servant came to Issas' side with light steps, carefully holding an agreement written on ancient parchment.

At the same time, several sturdy and resolute admirals standing nearby slowly asked him, "Sir, are you sure you want to sign this extermination order agreement? Once signed, the consequences will be disastrous!"

However, in the face of everyone's doubts and concerns, Issas's expression did not waver at all.

He raised his head slightly, looking into the distance with a firm gaze, and then said in a low but powerful voice: "Yes, for the great empire, for the supreme emperor, as an inquisitor, I, Issus, voluntarily decide to execute the extermination order on the garden world of Rax in the Ultramar system. Even if it costs billions of innocent lives on this planet, I will not hesitate. Because all this is for the glory of the emperor and for the loyal Malcador!"

As Issas's powerful words fell, the entire command room instantly fell into silence. Then, a dull roar was heard from a distance. It turned out that he had been waiting in the torpedo room for a long time.

"Fire!" Accompanied by a deafening roar, the terrifying red alarm light inside the hatch suddenly turned green, as if it was a signal that the wheel of fate had begun to turn.

Then, the incomparably huge bipolar torpedo roared out from the deep and dark launch bay like a wild horse, with an indomitable momentum and heart-pounding energy fluctuations, shooting straight into the unknown depths of space.

Then, this giant torpedo passed through layers of space at an unimaginable speed, like a flash of lightning cutting through the dark sky, and in an instant it rushed into the thick atmosphere of the planet Lax.

Wherever it passed, the air was burned by the violent friction, forming a long tail of fire, like a meteor falling to the earth.

At this moment, the soldiers who were desperately resisting the surging insect swarm on the ground suddenly noticed a cylinder shining with dazzling light falling rapidly in the sky.

They opened their eyes wide, their faces filled with shock and confusion, and for a moment they were unable to comprehend what they were seeing before their eyes.

However, before they could react, there was a loud bang and the huge torpedo slammed into the surface of the planet Lax.

In an instant, a giant mushroom cloud thousands of meters high rose into the sky.

The billowing smoke and the blazing flames intertwined, illuminating the entire surface of the planet as bright as day.

At the same time, this huge torpedo with incredible power hit the core of the planet Lax accurately, causing an unprecedented disaster.

The earth began to tremble violently, and countless cracks quickly spread out, like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast, ruthlessly devouring everything around it.

Volcanic eruptions, frequent earthquakes, raging tsunamis...the entire planet Lax fell into a doomsday scene.

The endless swarms of insects also collapsed and fled in all directions under the impact of the disaster, but they had nowhere to escape and were eventually submerged in the wave of destruction.

The endless swarm of Zerg and the defenders on the planet were reduced to ashes under the light of the Extermination Order, and Inquisitor Issus breathed a sigh of relief. For him, this was just another test in his career.
