A sorcerer? I am a Warhammer psyker.

Who could have known that a projection of Slaanesh was located in Tosak Rome's mental world? That's the most outrageous thing.

It is estimated that Tosac-Rome must play an important role in some part of the plan of the person behind the scenes.

Therefore, Kenmei Isayama not only executed the traitor Tosak-Rome, but also buried the...

The evil projection was resolved using Khorne's help.

[Some side quests have changed. You can skip the second and third rounds and trigger the fourth (final) round of side quests.]

Side Quest: Battle for Survival (Round 4)

Difficulty level: Lv.53

Mission Information: (Unlocked after meeting specific conditions)

Reward information: (Not yet unlocked)

Note: The conditions for enabling this feature are not currently met.

Note: The main quest can only be unlocked after all side quests have been completed.

Kenmei Isayama skipped directly from the first stage of the side quest to the final fourth stage, demonstrating the extent to which he disrupted his opponent's plans.

Moreover, Kenmei Isayama did not actually complete the second and third rounds of side quests.

However, Warhammer Simulator generously rewarded Kenmei Isayama with 12000 honor points, as that was a reward for Isayama exceeding the requirements for completing the first round of the side quest.

The problem is that although the fourth round is unlocked, there is insufficient information to display it.

Tosac-Rome's last mission before his death must have been the reason that pushed him into the abyss of depravity, Kenmei Isayama sighed.

Kenmei Isayama pressed down his insignia as a judge and used it as a medium to send a message to the headquarters of the Inquisition.

He needs to know more.

He also didn't forget to press the encrypted communication button.

Soon, a solemn man with a serious expression appeared. His tall and muscular body stood before us like a heavy mountain. His crimson trench coat, set against the backdrop of his power armor, which was engraved with ancient and exquisite black patterns and exuded a murderous aura, was even more vivid than the color of blood.

In particular, the Type I emblem, which symbolizes the court of judgment, is exceptionally ornate, with a crimson skull gleaming with a terrifying silver light in front of it.

This is Horst Eisenholm, Lord Inquisitor of the Inquisition.

"Lord Horst, I have completed the secret execution of Tosac-Rommel."

Kenmei Isayama reported.

“You did a great job, Macanos Elfman. I have received your message.”

"The situation is worse than I thought, based on the information you and the Tribunal's intelligence agencies have given me."

Horst frowned

"It seems I have to sign another extermination order."

Chapter 122 Imperial State Religion

(Thanks to Banana for making me the first leader, and six monthly tickets)

Kenmei Isayama has witnessed two worlds destroyed by the Extinction Order, where not a single living person exists and not a blade of grass grows.

When he heard that Horst Eisenholm might be preparing to sign an extermination order again, he felt only helplessness.

"Uncle, you're in the business of wholesaling 'extermination orders,' aren't you?"

Even a judge lord cannot sign an extermination order so arbitrarily; they would be held accountable. This matter should be handled by the Demonic Inquisition (to take the blame), since it involves the warp god Slaanesh.

Kenmei Isayama received all the information from Horst Eisenholm, which, in short, indicated that the Inquisition had long suspected that there was something wrong with the ruling class of a temple world under the jurisdiction of the Imperial State Church.

The Imperial State Religion, or Ecclesiarchy, is the sole official religion designated by the Human Empire, responsible for propagating and maintaining a belief system based on the Emperor as the one true God.

Following the Emperor's ascension to the Golden Throne, the Imperial State Religion gained almost unparalleled power and influence within the Empire, and any heretical sect that opposed it would be brutally punished.

The religion was directly managed by the state church, and the empire did not have a high degree of control over it.

This state religion was so powerful that the Inquisition was originally established to oversee this behemoth, whose influence spanned the entire empire, and to guard against the possibility that its high-ranking members might intend to betray the empire or defect to chaos.

The combat nuns, who are partners of the Inquisitors of the Inquisition, are the direct combat forces of the Imperial State Church. Therefore, the Imperial State Church is equivalent to the "family" of Elena, the adjutant of Kenmei Isayama.

However, due to a horrifying act committed by Karamazov, the Supreme Inquisitor of the Inquisition and the Chief Inquisitor of the Inquisition.

While this incident did not affect the cooperation between the Battle Sisters and the Inquisition, it certainly made the Inquisition and the Vatican Headquarters, which controlled the Imperial State Church, less than "harmonious."

It is said that many high-ranking archbishops wished they could bite a piece of flesh off Karamazov and have the old man judged as a heretic and burned alive.

However, the Empire's High Lord Council rejected the state church's request, and Karamazov remained the Supreme Inquisitor of the Inquisition, without any consequences.

The Highlord Council of Terra is equivalent to the State Council, composed of twelve top-ranking officials in their respective categories. (These are all ancient relics, tens of thousands of years old.)

Therefore, this "minor friction" is like a thorn in the side, standing between the headquarters of the Inquisition and the Imperial State Church.

Therefore, Horst Eisenholm, one of the Inquisitors of the Inquisition, decided to send that unfortunate Inquisitor Tosak Rome to infiltrate this temple world.

Not long after, news arrived not of the execution of the heretics deeply rooted within the Imperial Church, but of Inquisitor Tosac-Rommel killing all his followers, including the Battle Sisters and servants, totaling twenty people, before disappearing without a trace.

This evidence was sufficient for the Inquisition's internal intelligence agency to conclude that he had betrayed the Inquisition.

Perhaps if the entire Inquisition's Black Ships fleet had sailed into that temple world back then, the outcome would have been very different.

However, Kenmei Isayama's investigation revealed that Tosak-Rome did not voluntarily betray the Inquisition, but rather fell into depravity after suffering various forms of torture at the hands of the Slaanesh-believers.

Even the "Emperor's Daughter," the Battle Sister, was corrupted by Slaanesh, which gives you an idea of ​​how corrupted this temple world has become by the forces of chaos.

Things were so complicated that even Horst Eisenholm was weighing the pros and cons of whether to issue an extermination order, but the foolish Imperial Church remained completely oblivious!

Kenmei Isayama believes that if the Emperor were still alive, the current absolute power of the Imperial State Religion would not exist. The most prosperous parts of the empire are basically within the influence of the State Religion, which spends an unimaginable astronomical amount of money every year to build the Emperor's shrine and promote the Emperor's divinity.

This is the biggest dark joke and the most serious blasphemy that the Warhammer world has played on the Emperor, the ruler of the human empire.

The doctrines of the Imperial State Religion

"The Emperor is the only true God; humanity must forget all its past beliefs."

"Emperor General"

He will rise from the golden throne to complete the great work he once failed to do, rescuing his followers from the clutches of the galaxy's villains. And when most see this as a moment of salvation, the Emperor will judge humanity, casting a curse upon those who lack faith.

This essentially extinguished the emperor's ideals and humanity's hopes, leaving the emperor helpless to do anything about it.

Ignorant religious beliefs would not benefit mankind in any way; only the popularization of science and imperial truth was what the emperor believed to be truly beneficial to humanity.

The emperor detested being treated as a god and vehemently denied his own divinity!

Even if it was the emperor's son, he would impose the most severe punishment.

One of the twenty Primarchs, Logar, the Primarch of the Legion of Wordholders who was once considered to be the most righteous on the side of the Empire, built a city to declare that the Emperor was the supreme god in order to show the Emperor his most loyal faith in his father.

The construction of the "Perfect City" consumed almost all of the "Word Bearers" legion's financial and material resources.

The city was filled with temples of all sizes, the largest of which housed a statue of the Emperor that was even larger than that of a Titan, and the inhabitants were all devotees of the Emperor.

To Luo Jia's surprise, instead of praise from the emperor, he was met with unprecedented rage, who didn't even want to see his son.

"Destroy the perfect city!"

He directly ordered Guilliman's "Ultraman" legion to bombard the "Perfect City" painstakingly built by the Word Bearers with railguns.

The railgun bombardment, except for the absence of Cyclone torpedoes, was roughly on the same scale as the Extinction Order, demonstrating just how furious the Emperor was.

This incident planted a seed of hatred in the heart of Logar, the Primarch of the Word Bearers Legion; it was a blatant humiliation.

The first to follow Warmaster Horus in betraying the Emperor were the Word Bearers. During the rebellion, they lured the loyal Ultramarines to a designated planet and bombarded it with orbital cannons, causing heavy casualties to the Ultramarines, who lost more than half of their forces.

This war was the "Battle of Cowes".

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for an emperor to allow fanatical faith to be practiced in his name.

If the emperor were alive, the imperial state religion would definitely be branded as heretical, and those in charge would be crushed to death by him.

However, the rise of the imperial state religion was due to favorable timing, location, and popular support. The human empire was ravaged by an unprecedented civil war among its legions, and the people were suffering greatly, so they urgently needed spiritual faith.

The Imperial State Religion has grown wildly to become an organization even more terrifying than the Mechanicus, the "partner" of the Emperor when he founded the Empire.

Although the Imperial State Religion and the Inquisition are at odds, the situation has reached this point, and it's not time to dwell on old grievances; drastic measures are necessary.

Horst Eisenholm dispatched Kenmei Isayama this time as part of the Inquisition Supervisory Group to the temple world of Kerrigan, where Tosak Romer's incident occurred.

They also dispatched the Black Templar Chapter, which was rebuilt by the "Imperial Fist," as escorts.

Chapter 123 The Black Sanctuary

Black Templar's War Cry

"No need for pity! No need for regret! No need for fear!"

They are a true heroic chapter, inheriting all the noble qualities of their Primarch, Rogal Dorne, the "Emperor's Fist." Their long history dates back to the Battle of Terra, and time has proven their loyalty.

The first Grand Marshal of the Black Templar, Sigismund, was awarded the title of "Imperial Champion" by the Emperor and possessed the strongest power below the Primarch.

To solidify this supreme honor, the Black Temple has been on an endless expedition since its inception.

There isn't even a home world; soldiers are recruited directly from the conquered world.

On the battlefield, the Astartes of the Black Templar wield black swords and, due to their overwhelming numbers and thirst for slaughter, are known to their enemies as the Black Orcs.

Furthermore, the Black Templars have a very interesting point: they do not absolutely abide by the Astartes Codex, written by Robert Guilliman, the Primarch who became the Supreme Commander and Regent of the Empire after the Emperor's death. They have the autonomy to choose to abide by the Chapter's internal organizational and leadership framework.

The Astartes Codex clearly states that each chapter should have only one thousand combat brothers, but the Black Templars continue to maintain the same large and over-stretched chapter organization as before the Horus Rebellion, resulting in them having more than six thousand combat brothers on the surface.

These dark-skinned Astartes dare to treat the words of their Supreme Commander Robert Guilliman as utter nonsense.

Furthermore, the Black Templars are notoriously stubborn and obsessed with honor, so Isayama Kenmei's adjutant, Sister Elena, couldn't understand why one of the Inquisitor Lords, Horst Eisenholm, would appoint such a chapter as the guardian of Macanos Elfman.

The Black Sanctuary doesn't even obey the Regent's orders, so how could they possibly obey the Inquisition's orders?

The Inquisitors have the right to mobilize all the military forces of the Empire, but it is perfectly normal for the Inquisitors to ignore them in return. Not all Astartes will give the infamous Inquisition any face.

The Black Sanctuary is known for ignoring the Terra Highlords' Council civilization, so it's hard to imagine them obeying the Inquisition's orders to protect Kenmei Isayama.

If the Inquisition summons Space Marine chapters that typically follow the Codex Astartes, known as "Codex-pliantchapter" or "Codex-compliant chapters," their obedience is better, and it is also helpful in carrying out their work.

If obedience is the primary consideration, Astartes of the Black Temple would definitely not be the first choice.

"They will come. Don't demonize the Black Temple so much."
