Warhammer: Become a Saint Starting with the Banner of Souls

[Ding, faith fluctuation detection in progress... The combat nun in the current area has developed a high-intensity faith emotion towards the host. Faith purity: Extremely high. Faith type: Devout worship. Merit conversion efficiency: Excellent.]

Sure enough, the nun's faith level was more than one level higher than that of the ordinary Star Guardians.

This is the most devout group of believers in the Empire. They grew up in monasteries and were immersed in the doctrines of the state religion their whole lives. The purity of their faith is second to none in the entire galaxy.

And now, this faith is entirely directed towards Qin Mo.

Merit poured into the tent.

Qin Mo's mood improved.

"grown ups……"

Genevieve spoke again, her voice still trembling, but she tried to control her emotions and keep her tone as solemn and respectful as possible.

"Excuse me, how should we address you?"

Qin Mo lowered his eyes slightly, gazing at Genevieve with the compassionate and solemn look befitting a living saint.

He practiced that expression in his mind for about 0.3 seconds before making it.

It's an unorthodox practice.

Acting skills are something you're born with.

"Raphael." Qin Mo adopted this name following the system's suggestion.

His voice became deep and magnetic, possessing a power that made people unconsciously want to listen.

"My name is Raphael."

He paused.

Then, he continued.

"The Emperor heard the call of Kadia, heard the cries of His people in the darkness."

Qin Mo's golden pupils shimmered slightly in the soft light, his eyes fixed on the kneeling nuns, as if looking down upon all living beings from an endless height.

"The Emperor has never abandoned you."

Qin Mo's words struck the nuns' hearts like a hammer blow, hitting them precisely where the softest spot was.

"The Emperor... has never abandoned us..." Genevieve's tears finally welled up, she lowered her head, her forehead almost touching the ground, her shoulders trembling violently.

The other nuns also shed tears.

They had fought on this scorched earth for far too long, watching their comrades fall one by one, watching their positions fall one after another, watching the chaotic army surge in like an endless tide.

In those most desperate moments, they also had doubts.

Is the Emperor still watching over us?

Emperor, do you still remember Kadia?

Has the Emperor... abandoned us?

Now, the answer is here.

It happened in a way they never dreamed of.

A living saint has descended.

The heroes have returned.

The Demon Engine was destroyed.

The Emperor did not abandon Cadia.

The emperor did not abandon his people.

[Ding—Faith strength surged. Merit conversion efficiency increased to: Excellent.]

As Qin Mo watched the rapidly changing numbers, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly under the golden light.

really.

Emotional appeals are more profitable than killing enemies.

[System Evaluation: The host's talent for "persuasion" has once again played a crucial role. It is recommended that the host stockpile more similar "sacred sayings" for future use.]

Qin Mo silently memorized it.

After offering a few more words of comfort befitting his status as a "living saint," Qin Mo's gaze inadvertently swept across Genevieve's face.

Then, he saw it.

For a fleeting moment, a glint of gold flashed in Genevieve's eyes.

But who is Qin Mo?

Mahayana practitioners.

His senses were so sharp that he could see that golden hue clearly.

That wasn't Genevieve's own power; she was just an ordinary mortal warrior.

That golden light was injected from the outside, like an extremely thin and faint ray of light projected into her pupils through some invisible channel.

at the same time.

Qin Mo sensed it.

A feeling of being watched.

Very familiar yet very different.

From the moment he stepped onto the battlefield of Kadia, he had been constantly watched from the warp, that sticky, malicious feeling of being looked down on from the heavens.

Those were the gazes of the four Chaos Gods.

But this gaze is different now.

He also came from a higher dimension beyond the comprehension of mortals, and was so powerful that even Qin Mo's soul trembled slightly.

But there was no malice intended.

He was simply watching, calmly and scrutinizingly.

It's elusive, sometimes present, sometimes absent. Yet it undeniably exists.

Qin Mo's expression remained unchanged, but his consciousness had already quickly established a connection with the system.

"System," Qin Mo said in his mind.

"Is this feeling that the one called the Emperor is also watching me?"

[Yes, host. 】

The Emperor can also observe everything in the real universe through his followers. His mode of perception is similar to that of the four Chaos Gods—but fundamentally different.

Emperors established connections through faith. The more devout and fervent an individual's faith, the more likely they were to become the emperor's "eyes."

The Battle Sisters, especially the Martyr Sisters—an extremely devout group—are the Emperor's clearest "eyes" in the real universe.

[The glint of gold that flashed in Genevieve's eyes just now was a faint remnant left behind when the Emperor observed the host through her visual senses.]

Qin Mo remained silent for a moment.

The gazes of five beings—four evil gods and one emperor—simultaneously fell upon him.

To be honest, I've only ever felt this way in the cultivation world when the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning descends.

But back then, at least there was only one "Heavenly Dao" watching him; now there are five.

"As you said before, as long as I enter the small world of the Myriad Soul Banner, these powerful beings will be completely unable to see me, right?" Qin Mo asked.

Yes, host. The small world inside the Myriad Soul Banner is an independent spatial dimension, unconnected to the real universe and the subspace. Its very existence constitutes a form of "spatial isolation."

[Any means of perception from the subspace, whether from the Four Chaos Gods or the Emperors, cannot penetrate the barrier of the small world.]

Furthermore, due to the unique nature of the small world, the Myriad Soul Banner itself is "blurred" in their perception. Therefore, as long as the host enters the small world, they can completely isolate themselves from all prying eyes from higher-dimensional beings.

【but--】

The host need not worry too much about the emperor's spying.

[The host currently stands with the Human Empire. From the Emperor's perspective, the host's actions—eliminating Chaos Demons, destroying Demon Engines, and saving the Imperial army—are all considered "positive."]

[To the Emperor, the host is now like a "rare card" that has suddenly appeared on the card table—a rare card that does not belong to any known system, possesses unknown powers, but is currently helping humanity.]

Furthermore, the host possesses the ability to completely annihilate demons.

In the rules of this universe, demons are essentially aggregates of souls from the warp. Even if they are "killed" in the real universe, their essence is merely scattered back into the warp, and they will be reborn after a period of time. Truly and completely annihilating them is virtually impossible in this universe.

But the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls can.

This means the host possesses the ability to permanently reduce the power of Chaos. For every demon consumed, the four Chaos Gods permanently lose one.

This ability is equally useful to emperors.

Therefore, the probability of the Emperor protecting the host is extremely high.

[Letting the Emperor see the host and become familiar with him is actually quite good. Perhaps He will even bestow a blessing, making the host a true living saint.]

The system's last sentence clearly carried a hint of mockery.

"Hmph, whatever," Qin Mo thought to himself. "If He wants to see—let Him see. Anyway, all He'll see is a disguise I created."

He stopped paying attention to the subtle, almost imperceptible, spying.

As long as it doesn't interfere with his earning of merit, let him watch if he wants.
