Chapter 1316 On the way (ZZZ is too tired to play and needs a rest)

Accompanied by the dazzling brilliance, the space hulk was completely destroyed. The warships of the Inquisition also evacuated and began to move towards their predetermined target location.

Sten sat in the room, silent, staring at the pendant in his hand, which was composed of three pieces of green gem fragments. If Duanmu Huai was here, he would definitely recognize that one of the fragments was the one he took out from that disgusting brain before.

Now, they are one.

"Dong Dong Dong."

There was a knock on the door, Sten looked up, put down the pendant in his hand, and stared at the door.

"Come in."

Soon, the door opened, and then Inquisitor Kara walked in. She looked at the pendant in Sten's hand, and the latter handed the pendant over.

"How is our guest? What are the results of the examination?"

In the end, Inquisitor Sten kept his promise and took Duanmu Huai on his warship. But this does not mean that he will relax his vigilance against this mysterious Inquisitor. The place where he appeared, his mysterious and powerful strength, everything will arouse the Inquisitor's vigilance.

So after arriving on the warship, Sten examined Duanmu Huai under the pretext of providing him with medical services.

"The situation............"

But to Sten's surprise, Kara's expression was very strange.

"The situation is very strange."

"Strange? What does strange mean?"

"The medical team performed a full-body examination on him, but the result was surprising. There was no sign of modification on his body, no sign of contamination on his genes, and no mechanical implants on his body. He............"

At this point, Kara paused.

"...He is pure."

"............Are you sure???"

It must be said that this answer really shocked Sten. He thought a lot about Duanmu Huai's origin. Maybe he was a veteran of the Tribunal, or maybe he was a senior member of a certain Tribunal. But no matter which one, he should have been modified.

Not to mention genetic pollution...... Although the Tribunal generally rarely uses genes to judge, it is also because humans have conquered too many planets, and the environmental changes on each planet are too great. As a result, almost all human genes in the empire have a certain degree of mutation and pollution. The truly "pure" human genes seem to have only appeared in textbooks.

"So what's the matter with his power armor?"

Sten himself is also an inquisitor and has power armor. Naturally, he knows that although the power armor of the inquisitor is different from that of the Astartes, they also need to install some mechanical implants and neural connection systems.

"It is a completely external mechanism. According to the investigation report of the mechanical sage, his power armor uses a very unique technology. Although some traces of Martian technology can be seen, there are still some incomprehensible parts."

At this point, Kara stared at Sten.

"What should we do?"

Sten certainly understood what Kara meant. Obviously, they encountered a problem. The mission of the Tribunal this time was to investigate and solve a plague that occurred on the hive planet. According to Kara's psychic talent prophecy, they found this place. According to the prophecy, as long as these fragments are gathered, the sealed secret can be opened and the hive planet can be saved.

For Sten, this is his most important task as an inquisitor.

But now, the appearance of Duanmu Huai makes him feel embarrassed.

Whether it is the powerful fighting power shown by Duanmu Huai on the space wreck or the incredible data obtained during the investigation, it shows that this Inquisitor must be a very important person. Considering the uncertain time of the space wreck, it is possible that this Inquisitor is in the period of the Great Rebellion.

After all, as an Inquisitor, Sten is also very clear about the history of the Inquisition. The Inquisition was established after the Great Rebellion and went through a long period of time. The Inquisition has the power to expel and destroy demons, and these powers come from... Thinking of this, Sten glanced at the emblem of the skull and hammer hanging on his head.

Because Duanmu Huai had traveled through a wave before the Great Rebellion, the Inquisition in this world is completely different from the original one. After the Great Rebellion, the empire fell apart, and the shadow of the devil covered the double-headed eagle of the empire. So, when people found that as long as they held the holy image of the skull and the hammer, they could really kill the demons in the name of the Inquisition, the belief in the Inquisition naturally blossomed throughout the empire, and it was under the protection of the Inquisition that the empire survived the most difficult period.

However, the good times did not last long.

Once the external threat was lost, people would naturally tend to fight internally. The influence of the Inquisition was too huge in the entire empire, causing many nobles and lords to feel uneasy. In addition, the style of the Inquisition was too unpopular. Therefore, after the threat of demons subsided, many people began to think about how to deal with and suppress the strength of the Inquisition.

So the state religion appeared.

The state religion respected the emperor as a god to suppress the Inquisition. Originally, the state religion hoped to absorb the Inquisition into the state religion in this way.

As a result, they found something very embarrassing.

If they eliminated the demons in the name of the emperor, they would only exile the demons.

Only by eliminating the demons in the name of the Inquisition can the demons be completely killed.

No one can explain why this is, not even the high lords and arbitrators can understand it. When they first established the state religion, they just thought that the Inquisition also believed in the God-Emperor, but they did not regard this as a slogan.

And now it seems... Well, people don't use the God-Emperor as a slogan, obviously it is not for political or religious reasons.

So after this, a turmoil spread across the entire empire.

The Ecclesiarchy openly declares that the Inquisition is heretical and serves the filth that betrays the God-Emperor, and calls for a holy war to eradicate these ungodly people.

Of course, the Inquisition will not give up. They understand what the State Religion means. The State Religion is trying to use this method to suppress the Inquisition and eventually take it into its possession.

However, the status and power of the Inquisition are all based on their ability to destroy demons, and the Grand Inquisitors are certainly unwilling to give up their power.

So the civil war broke out.

This civil war lasted for five thousand years and affected all the territories of the empire. The eyes of both sides were red and blood flowed like rivers.

Fortunately, after the demon took advantage of the situation and planned to completely destroy the empire, the two sides still had to put aside their disputes and unanimously communicate with the outside world. In the end, they paid a heavy price to drive the demon's expeditionary army out of the empire's territory.

After this, the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy had to make peace with the mediation of other forces (including but not limited to the Astartes, Sisters of Silence, and the Adeptus Mechanicus). And after that chose to make a round of changes to the doctrine. To put it simply, in the new doctrine, the double-headed eagle of the empire has a new meaning.

One of the heads represents the state religion, with the God-Emperor guarding the souls of his people.

The other head represents the Inquisition, which judges, expels and destroys enemies who threaten the empire.

Well, both sides took a step back and reached a compromise, which remains until now.

As a judge, Stern understands the political implications of Duanmuhuai's appearance.

Not to mention anything else, a pure human being, a human being who has not been polluted, has not been transformed, has great power, and is also a great judge!

The senior officials of the Tribunal will definitely laugh until they are convulsed. It is difficult to lose at this time!

Now they have two choices, either give up the mission and send Duanmu Huai to Terra immediately. Either complete the mission first, and then take Duanmu Huai to Terra.

After all, it involves a hive planet and hundreds of millions of lives.

Finally, Stern made his decision.

"Ask him to come and talk."

When Duanmu Huai walked into this room, he was not wearing power armor, but was wearing a black uniform of a judge. If there is anything about this timeline that satisfies Duanmu Huai, it is that the clothes here are relatively spacious. He has decided to pick up a few pieces to take with him when he has time, so as not to have nothing to wear when he goes back.

After all, the Inquisition's clothes are very particular about their appearance.

Sitting opposite Stern, Duanmu Huai also listened to his analysis of the current situation, and then he raised his eyebrows.

"If I understand correctly, your operation this time is for a hive city, and an unexplained plague broke out there - how could you have thought of looking for that... thing?"

"This is prophecy."

Kara spoke up.

"We sought the help of prophecies to find out how all this happened and how to solve it, so the prophecies led us to these fragments."

"So you came here specifically just for this, and then you came up with something like this?"

Duanmu Huai fiddled with the pendant on the table and threw it aside.

"Forget it, let's go to the hive first. I think you might have messed up."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's complaints, Judge Stern stretched out his hand to signal Kara to stop talking, and instead looked at Duanmuhuai.

"You don't believe in prophecies?"

"Frankly speaking, I never believe in this stuff, and I don't even want to hear it. The reason is simple. If the prophecy cannot be changed, then listening to it is useless except asking for trouble. If the prophecy can be changed, then you listen to it. It’s useless, it’s just like listening to your words.”

Duanmu Huai curled his lips and snorted softly.

"In the final analysis, prophecy is a kind of cheating. You feel that you are cornered, so you want to get the answer by cheating - but there will be punishment for cheating, especially those psychics who always like to make prophecies... Moreover, solving problems No points will be awarded if you only write the answers without writing the process, and you may even get points deducted.”

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai glanced at Kara.

"I suggest that you don't always take prophecies too seriously. Sometimes ignorance is the best weapon to deal with threats. In the final analysis, it doesn't matter how much you know. Truth is only if your fist is big enough. If you are not big enough fist, then your little cleverness is simply seeking death in front of the demons in the subspace - as the old saying goes, heresy comes from thinking. "

"………………"

Kara opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she said nothing and just lowered her head silently.

Duanmu Huai's reaction to Kara was unsatisfactory. This is the case for stupid psychics, especially those idiots who like to predict the future. Duanmuhuai does know some of the plot, but he doesn't care. His actions are rarely aimed at changing the plot, but most of the time they are to make himself stronger.

As Duanmuhuai said, as long as you are strong enough, ignorance is not a problem.

On the contrary, if you are too weak, then knowing too much will only become a problem.

Those prophets are like this. When the evil god wants to play with her, it is called playing. But if the evil god does not want to play anymore and directly overturns the table, what can you do?

Can you beat it?

Of course you can't beat it.

So you can only accept the other party's explanation of fate obediently.

Just like "the final right of interpretation belongs to the company", if you don't have the ability to hang the other party on the street lamp, you can only accept it obediently, no matter whether the other party calls a deer a horse or something else, you have no other way but to accept it.

But you have to find a way to hang the other party on the street lamp-then the right of interpretation will be in your hands.

It's your turn to call a deer a horse.

I say this is a horse, you either accept it or die.

This is the power of power.

And power---comes from violence.

Duanmu Huai retracted his gaze and looked at Sten.

"Go to the nest city, I hope there is still hope there."

Then he spoke.
