A sorcerer? I am a Warhammer psyker.

"Sizzle..."

With a gentle smile on his face, Kenmei Isayama lightly tapped a match against the matchbox with his long, slender fingers.

The match in my hand ignited with a faint light. Although it was just a weak beam of light in the darkness, it would surely become a dazzling light that would ignite the entire world in the next second.

"In the name of the Emperor, I hereby grant you death!"

Kenmei Isayama simply placed the match into the pool of fuel that had accumulated in front of him. Soon, with the help of the fuel, the faint flame grew larger and larger.

Everyone could hear the roar of the burning flames, a whooshing sound that startled everyone!

Houses were on fire, the ground was melting, and there were even screams of people being awakened from their sleep.

Kenmei Isayama picked a good time; it was around 2 a.m., a time when most people are asleep.

However, although the crimson fire dragon had devoured the entire block, it was insignificant compared to the whole of Acheulean.

Kenmei Isayama was aware of this, so he directly activated a function that Acheule hadn't used for nearly a hundred years: the ventilation system.

The so-called ventilation system is simply the injection of fresh oxygen at a suitable concentration. This is a necessary function in most hive worlds, even those ancient relics that are thousands of years old. Adli couldn't possibly be without it.

When Kenmei Isayama used a stove to start a fire in his previous life, there was something very effective: the bellows. Injecting fresh air helped to make the fire burn more efficiently.

So you can imagine what would happen if the oxygen concentration increased in a world that was already scorching hot.

That would inevitably result in an uncontrollable explosion!

Kenmei Isayama and the other old men had already retreated to the middle level, a safe area, while they were taking a breath.

This poor Acheulean, which started as a fire dragon a few hundred meters long, suddenly transformed into a giant dragon stretching for tens of kilometers. These flames devoured everything around it, causing explosions all the time, and the merciless fire covered the entire ground.

The temperature here once reached over 1,400 degrees Celsius, turning it into a no-man's land!

No one knows how many prisoners and heretics were burned alive or suffocated to death in the flames that night.

At this moment, one of the spaceships, unable to hold back any longer, used its laser cannon to destroy the outermost layer of the barrier amidst the flames and flew out.

Chapter 113 The Burning Court Banner

In the Serketfossa system, there is not a trace of noise or chaos in this peaceful star field, where the stars still shine quietly.

But who would have thought that just a few decades ago, this was a thriving interstellar route? A nest world called Abel was a planet with mining operations, mineral refineries, and metal processing plants. While achieving self-sufficiency, Abel also exported its products to supply several surrounding star systems.

But now all that's left is a mess.

The destroyed hive world of Albert still bears witness to the destructive consequences of the Twin Cyclone Torpedoes.

Two-thirds of the planet's sphere was completely shattered. These planetary fragments, pulled away from Abel by the gravity of a distant star, formed a long, magnificent tail.

But today, this abandoned mining system, destroyed by the Empire itself, has welcomed two "uninvited guests".

"Boom"

Basically, every three minutes, a hundred-meter-long asteroid is shattered into countless tiny fragments by the incoming laser cannon.

The debris struck the high-speed spaceships, causing violent jolts and vibrations, but neither of the two ships showed any sign of slowing down, with the blazing orange-red exhaust plumes from their engines stretching exceptionally long.

If someone saw it, it would be like two dazzling red shooting stars, with the magnificent starry sky as a backdrop, staging a fierce chase.

The wrecked black spaceship in front is a private spaceship belonging to the Inquisition. However, it looks dilapidated and has already suffered severe battle damage, yet it can still unleash astonishing speed. It can only be said that anything produced by the Inquisition is of the highest quality, giving people the illusion that "this thing can still fly?"

Inside is the former judge Tosac Rome. He was forced out of the lower world of Acheule by the terrifying heat that swept the entire world. He originally wanted to leave as soon as his injuries were healed!

But who would have thought that Kenmei Isayama, disregarding the lives of those ordinary residents, would set fire to the entire Acheulean, turning it into a high-temperature inferno.

Here's a hellish joke: the Acheulean, the lowest level of the hive world, has never been that clean. Apart from the slag produced by burning, it's a world that has been sterilized and purified by high temperatures.

It might be even cleaner than the middle floor.

Tosac-Rome, watching the relentlessly pursuing spaceship on the screen, slammed his fist on the steering wheel, cursing loudly.

"Damn it, he's definitely one of those twisted war-crazed 'dominant faction' idiots!"

Such unbridled, eccentric, and ferocious behavior is only considered madness among the judges in the courtroom.

If Tosak Romer knew that Kenmei Isayama had just carried out an extermination order and dropped two Cyclone torpedoes, he probably wouldn't even set foot in Isayama's hotel room.

That very night, they carried their spaceship and fled the cursed Adeli Nest world, running as far as they could without hesitation. In this day and age, anyone who can issue an "extermination order" without batting an eye is a ruthless person.

Sacrifice? He offered his head as a sacrifice.

Like a hound relentlessly pursuing its prey, the "Deathly Devotion" was a modified Fury-class interceptor about 100 meters long. This type of aircraft, which looks like a sharp dagger, was designed primarily for speed and maneuverability, and it had a huge thruster and attitude control jet.

So even if the opponent has been running for ten minutes, Kenmei Isayama can catch up and catch up, which would be impossible without the help of this powerful thruster.

Kenmei Isayama's private spaceship, in order to conceal his identity, could not fly to this Nest City world. Instead, it entered the country by transport ship. This interceptor ship was the fastest spaceship he could call upon.

It is equipped with multiple rows of incredibly powerful laser cannons and sixteen missiles equipped with the Empire's latest K-SAN "Redemption" missiles, fully embodying the violent aesthetics of "bigger caliber is better, more ammunition is more beautiful".

Kenmei Isayama finally understood why most people dream of owning a sports car. Watching the numbers on the dashboard constantly spike, the rapidly disappearing scenery, and those massive asteroids—all of this kept him highly focused.

in!

"Target locked, launch?"

Kenmei Isayama, gripping the steering wheel, stared intently ahead as he used a maneuver similar to the Cobra maneuver to raise the nose of the aircraft from horizontal to vertical, almost skimming the surface of an asteroid that suddenly appeared around a corner.

Upon hearing that the fire control system's locking pins were aimed at the spaceship ahead, Kenmei Isayama pressed the switch without hesitation.

The reason why it was impossible to aim earlier was that there were tens of thousands of asteroids several kilometers long, which greatly affected the accuracy of the shot. If a powerful missile were to accidentally hit an asteroid several kilometers long, the resulting fragments would be enough to cause serious problems for Kenmei Isayama.

Therefore, they used more precise, manually controlled laser cannons for point firing. Now that they had left the asteroid belt, there were fewer concerns, so Kenmei Isayama simply opened fire.

"Warning, warning, you have been locked out."

At this moment, in the cockpit of Tosac-Rome, the cold voice of the machine spirit echoed in the cabin along with the red alarm.

Upon hearing the news, Tosac Romero was drenched in sweat, gritting his teeth and looking extremely frantic.

"Noisy!"

When Tosac-Rome, shrouded in the shadow of death, tried to turn the plane around and head back to the asteroid belt, it was too late.

All the covers on the surface of the "Fury-class" interceptor ship were opened one by one, and torpedoes containing destructive power and flashing guide beams roared out of the launch tubes with flames.

Several arrows, as dazzling as stars in the background, struck the spaceship in front directly.

Inside, Tosac-Rome's console was filled with terrifying electric currents and sparks, and the red alarms crackled and sang together.

Because the impact-molten explosive in the missile launched by Kenmei Isayama was designed to maximize its armor penetration capability, the explosive heat corroded the outer armor of the Inquisition warship, and the powder contained therein corroded electronic components, damaging the ship's circuitry.

The black armor on the sides of the spaceship had been completely melted, and the muzzles of the cannons in the weapon firing array began to bend and deform under the high temperature. The structure of the spaceship was swaying and seemed to be about to disintegrate in space.

Even the stern propulsion system of the warship began to dim under the continuous damage from the missiles, as if it were about to shut down completely at any moment.

The surface of the Inquisition's warship was covered in smoke and dust. This once magnificent warship was now scarred by cannon fire, and flames could be seen spewing from the ruptured and damaged gaps.

Most of the ship's hull was reduced to shattered debris, and its crystalline trail extended backwards.

Kenmei Isayama looked at the warship, which was shining with dazzling light, as if it were a kite with a broken string, and unexpectedly felt a tragic beauty of "sacrifice".

The burning Inquisition symbol, in particular, is full of irony.

Unfortunately, that was the glory of a traitor.

Chapter 114 The Death of the Corpse King is the Way to Redeem Humanity

Wearing the power armor of the Inquisition, Kenmei Isayama stepped off the Fury-class interceptor and slowly left his footprint on the dusty, desolate land.

The land here is mostly crystalline residue formed by high temperatures. When he looked up, he saw an endless, dazzling starry sky. Since the atmosphere had been completely burned away by the dual-stage cyclone torpedo, it was completely visible.

The starry sky there is filled with broken star fragments, slowly emitting dazzling particle light.

This is the ruins of Abel, a hive world abandoned by anyone but scavengers.

The Inquisition's traitor, Tosak Romer, landed his ship nearby; the continuous plumes of black smoke in the distance indicate the location of the Inquisition's warship.

Kenmei Isayama had many questions for Tosak Romer, so in the end he didn't use a salvo of laser cannons to immediately execute the traitor in space.

"May the Emperor protect us, I hope everyone is alright."

Kenmei Isayama prayed silently. By "being alright," he meant being healthy enough to endure the tortures he had used in the mind of Macanos Elfman, since there was no need to hold back against a traitor.

"This place is truly desolate."

Kenmei Isayama couldn't help but think of Homeworld, the place to which he had dropped two Cyclone Torpedoes, and wondered if it was in the same miserable state.

He walked from the edge of the city, which had long since become a ruin buried under countless asteroids.

Kenmei Isayama can access the Tribunal's internal database, which contains photos of the world before it was destroyed by the Empire's iron cavalry.

Based on the coordinates, Kenmei Isayama determined that the place he was in was once a huge arsenal, with towering chimneys continuously producing various tanks from the production line.

But now nothing is left. All the buildings were annihilated by the initial shockwave, and all life was vaporized by the terrifying heat as the atmosphere burned for months.

All that remained was a desolate ruin, a silent sigh of utter destruction of the entire Nest City world by the Empire's terrifying war weapons.

Behind the destruction of an entire once prosperous Nest City world lies the conservative estimate of the deaths of 50 billion innocent civilians.

Wearing an oxygen mask, Kenmei Isayama arrived at the crash site of Tosac-Rome's spaceship, where a huge crater had been created by the ship's hull.

Seeing the wreckage everywhere, Kenmei Isayama silently recorded the scene and uploaded the data to the headquarters of the Inquisition.

The materials used in each Inquisition warship are extremely precious, and the priests of the Mechanicus will come to recycle them later.

Kenmei Isayama arrived at the spaceship's hatch, but there were no signs of it being opened, so Tosak Romer should be inside.

Even when subjected to impact and corrosion from molten charged explosives, the special alloy doors of the Tribunal warship only suffered surface paint peeling, but they were also severely deformed after an impact.

However, this was no problem for Kenmei Isayama. With his psychic power, the body of Macanos Elfman could easily deal with the special alloy door.

Kenmei Isayama simply placed his hand on the hatch, and under the influence of psionic energy, the special alloy emitted a terrifying, creaking sound as it deformed, and the damaged gears inside were forced to start moving.

In the end, the entire hatch was removed by Kenmei Isayama. He pulled it back with force and smashed it straight behind him with a "thud," crashing into the rubble in the distance.

Upon entering the ship's interior, Kenmei Isayama discovered that the damage to the spaceship was far more severe than he had imagined, essentially beyond repair.

Kenmei Isayama had a premonition that the spaceship would explode if he had arrived any later.

The most urgent task was to find Tosac-Rome as soon as possible. Kenmei Isayama looked at the electronic components blocking his way, raised his bolt pistol, and the exploding bullets shattered these eyesores.

Finally, Kenmei Isayama found the unconscious Tosac Romero in the driver's seat. He had fallen into a coma; a ceiling light had fallen on him, and the components from the exploding center console had buried him. He was in a terrible state, covered in wounds, the most serious of which...

Broken fragments pierced his chest like knives and forks.
