Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 163

  Chapter 163 Ruinstorm: The Galaxy and Her Destiny

  The sound of iron boots echoed in the towering dome, among the exquisite statues and colonnades, and the sound resounded like thunder one after another. This was not because the sound of the steps was too heavy, but because it was too quiet here.

  There is dead silence between the empty corridor and the cold steel walls, and the side windows closed by steel armored windows also make this place even more depressing, making the carvings, reliefs and digital signs on the walls appear cold and strange.

The captain of the gendarmerie with a gun on his back walked in front of Vito. He was wearing a helmet that must not be able to see the glasses. Vito's own face was reflected in the one-way mirror. He looked at the captain who was fully armed with live ammunition. The chilly law enforcement officer's armor, the pale armor painting, and the deterrent law enforcement torture tools make people feel afraid spontaneously.

The whole team of military police behind him, everyone is so uncomfortable, you can't see their eyes, all you can see is your face on the mirror, but you seem to feel that he is looking at you, this kind of A trance-like sense of dread is far more intimidating than a straight gun to your forehead.

After they saluted Vito and passed by, the judge turned his head and looked at the oppressive military police, carrying large-caliber shotguns and gradually going away, but the sound of their footsteps still came from a distance, which was completely unforgettable Their existence, forgetting that they are no longer being watched all the time.

  Vito turned around and continued to walk forward. He was walking in the deserted corridor, and there was no one here except him and the patrol team that just passed by.

   This is not because it is close to the ground floor to work overtime, but because it is not an auspicious place for sailors. The reason is very simple, this is the deck where the sanctuary of astropaths and navigators is located.

The people of the empire have always hated and feared all psykers, including astropaths and navigators, and depended on and alienated them. Even if they know how important astropaths are to the empire today, the communication across the galaxy is entirely based on them , Cross-star field navigation, trade and military operations also depend on them, but the people of the empire will still instinctively stay away from them.

  Just like the witch hunts in the Middle Ages, the Imperials fear the existence of psykers, they fear the power they represent, the power that is connected to the sea of ​​souls, and to the warp itself.

Rumors that psykers will be corrupted by chaos, become demons, and even become demons to invade the mortal world are prevalent. Ignorance and ignorance, blind obedience and fear have spawned a series of "witch hunting" actions against psykers, world after world Will not hesitate to kill anyone who exhibits psionic traits, talents.

Only those lucky psykers will be discovered by the Star Language Institute and the Navigation Sanctuary, rescued from the crazy mob, and train and master their own power, while those unqualified psykers cannot control their own powerful power. Psykers who might cause a terrible catastrophe are taken away by the black ships of the Inquisition.

And even those legal psykers, those who have been trained to control their own power, are dangerous. They are exposed to the eyes of chaos all the time, and they are more likely to be corrupted than ordinary people, so even if they are recognized by the empire The legitimate psykers in the world have also been subconsciously alienated.

So few people come to this deck, especially when sailing in the Eye of Terror, it is even more regarded as a cursed place, only those military police who are responsible for executing psykers before they fall, before they pose a threat It will move around here, watching everyone's actions with vigilant eyes.

  Even if there is even the slightest suspicious action, it may be executed decisively, and all chaos pollution will be wiped out and sprouted.

Vito walked past a small shrine of the Emperor, surrounded by candles burning, and some dissolved fragments of the burned-out ever-burning candles remained on the shrine, and their original positions had been replaced New ever-burning candles were put on, and the alternation continued, letting the Emperor's light shine on the entire battleship.

  He stood in front of the shrine, looking at the tiny statue of the Emperor among them, his face lit by countless candles, and the scrolls of prayer had red wax seals posted around them.

  The various wax marks, various names and prayer contents are illuminated by candlelight. The flickering candlelight looks so unique and beautiful to the eyes, as if it has a strange vitality.

  Suddenly accompanied by a clack, the lights at the end of the corridor went out. Vito looked in which direction, seeing the extinguished lights, the darkness rushed quickly from the end of the corridor, like a ferocious beast.

Vito unfastened the holster of the bolter, and looked vigilantly at the rapidly approaching darkness. The lights in the corridor were all extinguished one by one following the dark trajectory. All statues and counters are swallowed.

   Thick darkness engulfed them, covering everything that the naked eye could see. Vito frowned tightly and looked at the last extinguished light in front of him. In an instant, the light above his head also went out.

  Darkness instantly enveloped everything, only the burning candles in the shrine beside Vito illuminated a small area. He moved closer to the range of the candlelight, looking around vigilantly at everything around him.

Suddenly he drew his gun and turned around, pointing the gun at the darkness behind him, a figure stepped out from the thick black smoke, he appeared on the edge of the darkness, the candlelight gradually illuminated his face, turning that face light up.

  The Prophet of the Eldar appeared in the candlelight, holding a long staff, and appeared from the darkness in the black and white robe.

   "Edalard? Why are you here?" Vito said, the great prophet of the Eldar race walked from the shadows to the side of the shrine. He looked at the burning candle, and his face became even paler.

   "No, I'm not here, I project my physical projection here, it's not easy, so we don't have much time."

"I am here to tell you that everything is going well with the plan. Although Cadia was occupied by Abaddon, he did not tear the galaxy apart as he wished. The planet Cadia is still built, and the Sons of Doom have not been able to destroy it. core."

   As Edalad spoke, Vito looked at his face illuminated by the candlelight, and Adalad looked at the candle, his eyes reflecting the flickering candle.

"Tarasin has been of great help, as revealed in the prophecy, continue to act according to the prophecy." "What exactly does your prophecy foretell? Adalad, Iyana told me you stole Crystal Prophet of each ark, what are you going to do?"

  Vito asked, he watched Adalad slowly raised his head, there was no blood on his pale face, his gray eyes looked at Vito.

Eldarard was silent for a moment, but finally he spoke, "According to the ancient Eldar prophecy, when all the Eldar are gone, their souls and deaths will awaken Aeneid, the **** of death, and when he wakes up, he will be completely destroyed. Destroy Slaanesh and save the Eldar from the brink of destruction."

"Do you believe in this legend? Are you crazy enough to use the entire Eldar to verify the legend?" Vito asked, looking at the Great Prophet in front of him. The latter looked at Vito, the candlelight shining on their faces, flickering endlessly It illuminates the contours of their faces, illuminates the shadows under the bridge of the nose and eyebrows, and reflects the darkness of the side faces.

  All of them had only half of their faces in the light, and the other half was shrouded in darkness. Vito looked at the prophet in front of him, and he shook his head slightly.

   "No, if all the Eldar are to die so that Slaanesh can be destroyed, then this prophecy itself is meaningless to us. It is just a sad elegy, a prelude to an ending."

  "I found a way to awaken the **** of death without sacrificing all the Eldar, so I need powerful power, and the remains of the crystal prophets can provide me with the power I need."

Edalad said, looking at Vito's frowning face, "When the **** of death wakes up, the fate of the galaxy will be changed forever, and the fate of our two races will be linked together, and no one can cut it off." We will go to the final destination together and meet the final result at the final moment."

Vito was silent, he looked at the flickering candle, "Are you sure?" "Yes, my friend, I am sure, and I will start my ceremony soon, and you will also need to complete it by then Your mission is to find the Jade of Immortality, and then you will know what to do."

  Edalard looked at Vito's face, the back of his head was illuminated by the candle, but most of his face was buried in the darkness, his eyes reflected the light of the candle in the darkness.

The Prophet reached out and pressed Vito's shoulder. He looked at Vito's side face, "I'm here to warn you, you must bury it in your heart, and you must not let the Phantom Queen and Ms. Pleasure know. You must keep this A secret."

"You asked me to use her to prepare for her own death." Vito's voice came from the darkness, and Edalad looked at Vito and sighed softly. He pressed Vito's shoulder, "She and Slaanesh are one, Vito, you must choose between humans and her, you must decide the fate of the galaxy."

  Vito turned his head slightly, watching Eldarard retreating into the darkness, and the great prophet of the Eldar race slowly retreating into the shadow beyond the candlelight.

   "Keep this secret, Vito Constantine, may the light of fate illuminate the haze in front of your eyes, and hope that we can meet at the end, my friend, if we are still friends by then."

Edalad disappeared into the shadows, the lights came on, the fiasco lights above Vito's head came on again, he looked in the direction where Adalad disappeared, all the lights came on one by one, but he had long since disappeared .

  Vito silently turned his head to look at the emperor in the shrine. He turned around and walked to the end of the corridor, to the front of the cold fate.
