Warhammer: The Beginning is the Crisis of Annihilation Chapter 33

  Chapter 33 New plans for the state religion34

   "The heretic of the empire was myself."

  Guilliman could imagine the expression the Gray Knight, the Devil Inquisition, would have if he knew that the Primarch, who was the Regent of the Empire, was going to cultivate devil traitors.

   But Guilliman couldn't do anything about it. Knowing the threat of the Four Gods, he knew very well that he must use all means to ensure his absolute victory.

   Against those abominable things, there is absolutely no way to win by using legitimate means.

   This is a lower bound universe.

  Ethics and rules are not as important as survival.

  Humans know little about demons, but demons know humans well.

  In addition to psychic communication, faster-than-light navigation, these important technologies to maintain the integrity of the empire, all rely on subspace.

  The information between human beings and evil gods is seriously unequal. If the empire wins, there will be ghosts.

  This situation must be improved.

  Guilliman wants to ensure that the wars between the human empire and the subspace are equal.

   Demons can enter reality, Dui Jingguan.

  Then why can't the empire enter the subspace to engage in massacres? ?

   It is not unacceptable to cultivate a few demon leaders.

   Carrying heresy ideas that were enough to be sent to the stake by the State Church and the Devil Tribunal, Guilliman exited the secret room and used his own password to enter the encrypted elevator again.

   By the time they got out of the elevator, the honor guards were still guarding the entrance faithfully.

   "My lord." Seeing Guilliman coming out, Phikris came over and saluted him. "Sicarius just sent a message. He wants to find you. He said he has the latest information."

   "Let him come and go to my reception room." Guilliman said, "We can solve what happened to him there."

   "Understood." Phikris nodded and walked to the other side, he was going to inform Sicarius.

   "Let's go." Guilliman watched Phikris's back disappear into the corridor of the spaceship passage, and walked to another passage.

  The honor guards surrounded their master and left. Several terminators stayed behind, armed with bolt guns, and continued to guard the door, not allowing anyone to approach this area.

   They need to make sure that no one can break into the secret place that belongs only to their lord.

  After Guilliman left, the place fell into darkness and silence again.

  The terminators responsible for guarding here are all veterans of the Ultramarines.

  They can tolerate loneliness and silence better.

   You don't have to be like recruits, you need to find something to say.

  They stood there silently and coldly like sculptures, faithfully fulfilling the tasks assigned by their masters.

  Guilliman's reception room is much larger and simpler than that of ordinary commanders. Except for the projector and data crystal pillars used for intelligence, there are no other decorations, and the pursuit is simple and practical.

   To be honest, he doesn't like the skull culture of the Empire.

  The current imperial nobles and Mechanicists like to make everything into the shape of human skulls to represent their purity as human beings.

  In the long ten thousand years, with the development of state religion and court, the status of mutants has become lower and lower.

  Those mutants can basically only serve in the army, and any world in the empire is not allowed to be ruled by mutants,

  Once such a thing happens, that world will be regarded as rebellious by all parties in the empire.

  When Guilliman returned to the reception room, Sicarius and Phikles just arrived.

   "Master." Sicarius said respectfully.

   "What happened?" Guilliman sat on the big chair that belonged to him, and motioned for Sicarius to find a place to sit down.

  Sicarius found another chair, and put the data crystals and books on it on the other side.

"The missionary world-Espandor has a message. They hope that the Primarch will come to this world, so that the inhabitants of this world can feel the mercy and glory of the Emperor, or the Primarch can agree on a place where they Will go on a pilgrimage," Sicarius said.

   "Preach the world??" Guilliman tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table in front of him, indicating that he was thinking.

"Yes, this world suffered some changes 1,600 years ago, and then the state religion settled in, cleaned up the heresy above, and shaped it into a missionary world in Ultramar." Sicarius explained Consider the case of Espandor.

  The missionary world is also known as the church world, the bishop world, etc., and there are fanatical believers from various planets.

  Like the perfect city that Guilliman once burned, it is full of poems and sculptures praising the emperor, and it is a fanatical religious planet.

  A lot of history from 10,000 years ago has been lost, and the current state religion should not know that Guilliman once burned the City of Faith.

  Even if they knew it, they wouldn't publicize it.

   If you trace that period of history, you will understand that the Emperor does not like religion.

  The emperor doesn't like religion, so what is the meaning of the state religion? ?

   For whatever reason, Espandor probably didn't know what Guilliman had done, otherwise they would never dare to invite Guilliman to go.

  What are you asking Guilliman to do? ?

  Are you afraid of being burned again? ?

  Guilliman pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at Sicarius, "Go and reply to them, I will arrive in Espandor in a few days."

   "Okay, my lord, do you have any other orders?" Sicarius asked.

   "No, go and reply to them." Guilliman waved his hand, signaling Sicarius to go to work on what he ordered.

  Sicarius exited the reception room, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

   "My lord, why do you want to go in person? You can designate a world and let them come to see you." Phikris asked puzzled.

  Guilliman stood up and walked to the porthole.

   At this time, they are still in the subspace, and all the portholes will be closed to prevent the crew from being tempted, bewitched by the subspace, and become distorted monsters.

  However, there is still a little light leaking through the gaps in the visor, which looks weird and unusual.

  In Guilliman's memory, he learned that the Primarch had faced the subspace several times. The weird scene contained an unimaginable amount of information, which would burn people's heads.

   Thanks to the powerful body of the Primarch, he survived.

  If it was an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.

   When navigating in the subspace, there are countless ways to die, and dying by looking directly at the subspace is undoubtedly one of the most stupid ways to die.

"I need to assess the value of Espandor, Iris." Guilliman said, "The belief in the state religion has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is impossible to completely eradicate it. What's more, in this dark universe , The people of the empire also need a little faith to support them through this difficult time."

   "My lord, do you have any new plans for the state religion?" Phikris asked.

"I have an immature idea, and I have to go to Espandor to confirm the details. I will find a way to control the state religion in my hands and minimize its influence on the empire." Guilliman said, "The empire The power of the state religion is too great, they even have the right to accuse which wargroup or which world is disloyal, thus declaring the other party as rebellious, which is too dangerous. Religion makes people blind and irrational, and the state religion must be controlled.”

  After the birth of the state religion, the stupid things it has done are almost innumerable.

  It is true that saints like Celestine appeared and saved the fate of the human empire. However, they contributed a lot to the ignorance of the human empire.

  In the thirty-second millennium, during the Beast War, the state religion encouraged believers to launch a fanatical jihad against the orc war moon, resulting in a large number of casualties.

  In the thirty-third millennium, the state religion was divided. The Temple faction cleaned up the Alliance of Light and controlled all religious activities in the empire. Human rationality gradually collapsed and entered the age of ignorance.

  In the thirty-fourth millennium, the state religion formed a cathar to cleanse the twin empires-New Terra, and the empire completely became a religious state

In the thirty-sixth millennium, Van Dier, the new pope of the state religion, launched a **** rule, during which at least one hundred human worlds were exterminated. There are not enough statues of the emperor, the welcome to the state church team is not warm enough, and the religious donations are not active enough.)

   Has launched a campaign against the Space Wolves because the Space Wolves stick to their beliefs and are unwilling to convert to the state religion.

  The empire declined during this period, and the accumulation of thousands of years was exhausted in the raging religious activities.

In the thirty-seventh millennium, thirty battle groups, more than 20,000 interstellar warriors were declared rebellious by the saints of the state religion, and went on an expedition to the abyss. Except for the remnants of the piercing sword battle group, they were able to return, and the other battle groups were completely destroyed. More than half were completely corrupted.

  These things represent what the state religion has done, some representative events. Many events are not listed in detail, but they are also extremely terrifying.

  The Emperor was right, every religious organization is a cancer.

   It's a pity that Guilliman didn't dare to let this cancer be destroyed directly, otherwise it would kill the entire empire.

  He has a new plan, and he will try his best to guide this fanatical belief to the track he needs.
