Chapter 1244 Silent Extinction (As a lazy cat, I don’t even want to type)

 “This really surprises me, Your Majesty the Inquisitor.”

Palpatine appeared very excited when he appeared on the holographic projection again, not at all like his usual old fox self.

“You actually destroyed the Independent Federation’s fleet. In this way, we can capture the Independent Federation as quickly as possible!”

 “Oh, that’s a good thing.”

Duanmu Huai seemed very calm - after all, this was originally planned.

“So, what are you going to do about those alien aliens?”

"this………"

Facing Duanmuhuai’s inquiry, Palpatine showed a troubled expression.

"I can understand the thoughts of the Inquisition, but frankly speaking, at present, it is difficult for us to completely eliminate all alien races. I think the best way is to first label them as traitors and then **** them to do labor. In the service of the Galactic Empire..."

"Then you have nothing to do and suppress the rebellion every three days, right? Are you so idle?"

Duanmuhuai snorted, interrupting Palpatine's words, and the latter just smiled awkwardly.

"Of course I understand the dangers of doing this, but if we forcefully implement the extermination policy, it will only make other races unite to deal with us... Moreover, I think you should also understand that if we want to completely eliminate all living things on a planet, , is almost impossible, and our current military strength is not enough to carry out a large-scale comprehensive sweep of every planet. At most, we can only launch a cleaning attack against gathering areas or towns. In this case, it is impossible to really do it. to total extinction.”

 “Okay, I see what you mean.”

Duanmuhuai waved his hand and interrupted Palpatine's words.

 “You mean to say that you can’t do it, not that you don’t want to do it, right?”

 “That’s exactly what it is.”

Palpatine looked at Duanmuhuai and showed a wry smile.

 “Then, as long as it can be done, you have no problem with it.”

　　……I don’t understand what you mean…”

 “You’ll understand soon enough.”

After Duanmuhuai finished speaking, he snapped his fingers and cut off the communication. Then he turned to look at the others. An, on the other hand, spread his hands and looked calm.

"I knew he would go back on his word. After all, from the perspective of Mr. Palpatine, it would be a good strategy to leave those alien alien races and then divide them... At least that's what he thinks. ”

 “Stupid idiot, so I have always looked down on the treacherous and its believers.”

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, with a look of disdain. He hates those guys who always like to play tricks, because these guys always have the illusion that wisdom can solve all problems. But in fact, the more you play tricks, the more you will find that human abilities have limits, unless you surpass humans - well, so I believe in cunning and cunning, and don't be a human being!

From a political point of view, Palpatine's idea is actually quite normal. However, the dogma of the Inquisition is absolute - the aliens must be exterminated, without exception. And those heretics who dare to side with the aliens must also be destroyed. Even if the opponent is an Astartes or a Primarch, if he dares to get involved with aliens such as the Eldar, the Inquisition will purify him without hesitation.

Palpatine may have ten thousand reasons, but Duanmuhuai only needs one result.

Since he is unwilling to do it, then the Inquisition should do it on its own. After all, only by doing it on its own can we have enough food and clothing.

 “Mary.”

 Duanmuhuai opened the communication again.

 “How is the progress of Project Colossus?”

 “Ah, Lord Duanmu.”

Hearing Duanmuhuai’s inquiry, Maria, who was wearing a bright red robe, turned around and reported to Duanmuhuai.

“The Colossus project is progressing very smoothly. The neutron weapon components have been installed. Now all that remains is the experiment..."

“That’s good, bring it here directly, we have a lot of experiments to do.”

"yes."

 After giving the order indifferently, Duanmuhuai looked at Aikote again.

“Heading to the inner star system, it’s time to show these aliens the true power of the Inquisition!”

　　When Duanmu Huai led the First Fleet to the territory of the Independent Federation, the latter did not even react at all. The reason is very simple. On the one hand, Lumière hacked into the independent federation's network and completely cut off their investigation. On the other hand, all the fleets were sent by the Independent Federation to carry out General Griffith's operations, and there were no defensive measures at all.

 This time, Duanmuhuai’s target is the capital of the Independent Federation, Neimodiya!

 This is a planet that looks similar to the Earth in appearance and has a similar environment, but it looks quite developed. You can see that the entire planet is surrounded by huge metal buildings, with countless lights lighting up from them, symbolizing the prosperity of the planet.

However, all this ends today.

"start to act."

Following Duanmu Huai’s order, a battleship was seen sailing out of the fleet.

Its appearance is quite different from other warships of the Tribunal. If other warships of the Tribunal have churches on the deck, then the warship in front of you looks like several huge church buildings are completely built and put together. , looks more like a space station.

 This is the reward Duanmuhuai received under the natural disaster progress—the Colossus-class battleship!

Mary, on the other hand, was wearing a red robe and standing on the altar at the top of the church tower with a serious look on her face, holding the holy book in one hand and the censer in the other. Then she closed her eyes and whispered a prayer.

 “Immortal Omnisiah, hear our prayer.

 We are your children, devout scholars of the Mechanic Way.

 We value knowledge above all else because it is your eternal gift to mankind. We desire to receive blessings in mechanical form and to advance technology so that your glory can be manifested.

 We are sheltered by steel, protected by your war-bringers.

 We have gone to great lengths to search among the stars for the lost gift you gave us.

 O God of all opportunities, please guard our journey and protect us with metal and lightning.

 Because the universe is an unforgiving void, the warp longs to swallow us all. "

Muttering something in a low voice, Maria opened her eyes and stared at the planet below.

 “Ring the bell once and start the piston and pump!”

Following Maria's voice, the Colossus-class battleship in front of her gradually split apart from a bunch of church buildings into nine separate church towers, which slowly unfolded to form a circle and kept rotating. The ninth tower where Maria is located is located in the center of the circle, pointing like a sharp blade at the planet below.

“Toll the bell twice, press the button, start the engine, ignite the turbine, breathe life into it!”

The eight surrounding towers began to rotate, and in their lower centers, golden, lightning-like energy beams began to condense, becoming more and more dazzling.

“Ring the bell three times and sing in unison to praise the God of all opportunities!”

　　　…………”

Under Maria's command, the Revatiers in each tower clasped their hands devoutly, knelt down on the ground, and began to sing sacred hymns. In the ethereal and beautiful chants of the Revatiers, During the singing, the huge machinery began to speed up.

"Everything is ready, Lord Inquisitor, we are always ready to unleash the wrath of the God of Machinery and destroy all unclean aliens!"

"very good."

Duanmuhuai nodded, then stood up. At the same time, Ogis jumped off Duanmuhuai's shoulder as lightly as a cat, then stretched out his hand and took out a roll from the mouth of the mechanical skull next to him. The parchment was unfolded and then presented in front of Duanmu Huai.

Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, took off the rosette, and looked at the parchment in front of him.

"In the name of the Tribunal, I hereby declare that an extermination order will be launched against the alien races of the Independent Federation. Their bodies will be destroyed in the flames of purgatory, and their souls will also be refined in the furnace of the Tribunal. ——For humanity, for the Inquisition.”

 After saying this, Duanmu Huai pressed the rosette mark heavily on the parchment.

 “Issue an extermination order!”

　　　　——————!!”

The moment Duanmuhuai finished speaking, the eight church towers rotating around suddenly erupted into shining brilliance. They all shot out and gathered under the ninth tower in the center, condensing into a shining ray of light. The beam of light shoots straight towards the planet below!

However, this is different from the BFG10000 used by the Tribunal before. The planet hit by the beam did not explode directly. On the contrary, after the beam hit the planet, the next moment a blue brilliance shot from top to bottom, as if the entire The planet was scanned thoroughly.

But this is not over yet. Just after this blue light passed through the entire planet, it suddenly dispersed into several beams of light that spread out in all directions and disappeared into the endless universe!

"………That's it??"

Seeing this scene, girls such as An and Mary were a little dumbfounded. They had never seen Duanmu Huai issue an extermination order. According to the girls' impressions, either the entire planet would turn into a ball of fire or explode directly. consistent with their impression.

However, right now...why does it feel like nothing has changed?

 “Isn’t it a failure?”

While An was quietly looking at Duanmu Huai, he whispered to Gu Leiya, who also shook her head with an expression of bewilderment. After all, Duanmu Huai said before that he was experimenting with new weapons this time. New weapons must be unstable, right?

 “No, it worked.”

At this time Duanmu Huai also opened his eyes and let out a long breath. Although his expression did not change on the surface, Duanmu Huai's heart was also in turmoil at this moment!

 Damn it, I didn’t expect such a change!

 The reason why Duanmuhuai was so surprised was not because of the power of neutron killing, but because of... Revatier!

 In fact, it was Maria who first proposed using Revatier to chant poetic magic when releasing the Extermination Order. After all, she likes the COS Mechanicus, and what she emphasizes is a sense of ritual. And Duanmu Huai also wanted to see what the effect of the extermination order would be after being strengthened by poetry magic.

However, the effect exceeded Duanmuhuai’s imagination!

At the beginning, there was actually no change. However, the moment Duanmuhuai issued the order of extermination, he suddenly felt that his flesh and blood seemed to be integrated with the Colossus, amidst the chanting of Revatier's poetry and magic. , the battleship seemed to be a soldier with its own will, completely surrendering in front of Duanmu Huai.

Like a loyal soldier, as long as Duanmu Huai gives an order, he will mercilessly destroy all enemies standing in front of Duanmu Huai!

You know, this was the first time Duanmu Huai felt this way when he issued an extermination order, so he also applied some of the power of the God of Destruction to strengthen the neutron killing in front of him - after all, this was originally an experiment. After discovering that he When it turned out that it could affect the extermination weapon itself, Duanmuhuai immediately wanted to try what effect it would have if divine power was used to enhance neutron killing.

 Now, he has felt it.

At the moment when the beam hit, Duanmuhuai seemed to turn into the beam, watching the neutron plume ruthlessly sweep across the entire planet, and all life was completely dissipated in the face of this powerful force. And their souls also merged into Duanmuhuai's divine realm amidst the endless wails and screams, and entered the furnace of the Tribunal, adding fuel and fuel to it!

 But this is not over yet!

 After all life on this planet was destroyed, the neutron beam did not disappear with it, but quickly split and went to other planets, continuing to kill all life!

Without the bonus effect of Duanmuhuai's God of Destruction, neutron killing can only be used on one planet. However, after Duanmuhuai exerted the power of the God of Destruction on it, this neutron killing has completely become A divine blow!

Unless there are indigenous gods or galaxy gods on a certain planet who can resist this attack, the neutron annihilation with the bonus of Duanmu Huai's divine power will only ruthlessly sweep across all planets and destroy all life!

Hmm, that’s an exaggeration. In fact, it’s impossible.

Even with the blessing of divine power, this neutron annihilation only swept across three galaxies before disappearing. After all, even divine power must abide by the conservation of energy.

 But this also means that all life in these three galaxies has been destroyed! And their souls have become the energy in Duanmuhuai Divine Realm!

Feeling the surging divine power in his body, Duanmu Huai let out a long breath.

 Just one attack, combined with Revatier's poetic magic, plus his own divine power bonus, can it actually have such an effect?

Um?

etc………

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai's eyes suddenly lit up.

 He ​​remembered that among the weapon components, there was also a weapon called God's Judgment, which was mainly used to enhance faith and kill all unbelievers.

Since neutron annihilation is combined with the enhanced power of the God of Destruction, this effect can be achieved.

Then what will be the effect if he uses the God's Judgment in conjunction with the God of Joy or the strengthening of the power of the Old One?

 Oops... At this moment, Duanmuhuai suddenly couldn't wait any longer!
