Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

night.

Vic took the transport plane back to the ship as he did every time after completing the expedition. Chuck just glanced at him and went to do other things as before.

Vic screened what he saw and heard in the hive world and recorded it so that the inquisitors could understand the situation in the Tyrone galaxy.

Usually, things that are detrimental to the Tyrone Galaxy would be screened out, including some traces left by heretics that had been eliminated before, but this time Vic was extremely determined in screening, and he even beautified the situation in the hive.

After finishing recording, Vic got up and left his room, heading to Chuck's place as usual.

The space inside the ship is huge, just like a small city. Some people will even live and multiply on the ship for several generations. They have no idea what life is like on the ground.

Vic walked through the ship and gradually walked into a dark and deep corridor.

The corridor trembled slightly, and a sound came from the opposite side.

These made Vic feel a little familiar. He stood there and waited quietly.

Until a "giant" walked out of the shadows. He was wearing the iconic red robe, had a curved metal belly, and held a long metal ax in his hand.

"Great Sage." Vic immediately saluted the giant with a gear, "When did you come?"

The person who came was none other than Belisarius Caul, the great sage of the Mechanicum.

There was another person behind Kaul, an old man. His body was completely blocked by Kaul. He came out from behind Kaul because he wanted to ask Vic something.

Vic didn't know the person next to Kaul, but he could roughly guess that this person should be Horst from the Inquisition.

Kaul walked in front of Vic and looked down at this short subordinate. A cold mechanical voice came from his sound generator: "I have already set off when you set off for Tyrone."

Vic was very surprised by Caul's arrival. He had thought that the Great Sage would not come to the Tyrone Galaxy in person, and he had not seen the Mechanical Ark before seeing Caul.

"I asked you to investigate this galaxy. What information did you get?" Kaul asked.

Vic's electronic eyes flashed a few times, and he immediately presented Caul with a backup of the information he had recorded.

The stream of information was transferred to Call, who continued to look at Vic, but was actually looking at the records.

The record sent by Vic included today's content, but it did not include the part where he obtained the STC and traveled with Governor Tyrone, because if he thought that there was another person in the Ohm Messiah, the consequences would be absolutely unbearable. .

"How many STCs have you found in the hive world?" Kaul asked after reading the records.

"None." Vic replied calmly.

Caul was not angry after receiving such a feeble answer. He looked at Vic for a while and then nodded: "It seems that there is no STC in this galaxy. All they use are heretical technologies."

Hearing this, Vic did not rush to refute, he stood silently.

Kaul's words were not meant for Vic. He turned his head and looked at Horst, who was always silent: "What do you think?"

"Whether the people in this galaxy are heretics will have to wait until I investigate," Horst said.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Vic felt something was wrong. It would have been easier if the Great Sage came alone, but Horst came so quickly, and the first stop was not to investigate the plague. Obviously he came here specifically for the Tyrone Galaxy.

"While you are investigating, can I go to the hive world to meet the governor?" Call asked.

"Why are you asking me?" Horst asked.

"Then it would be better for me to go there in person." Caul glanced at Horst, and then continued to move forward, "If the governor is indeed a heretic, he will definitely let the fortress and fleet destroy the ship I'm on. You You can get evidence.”

Horst silently watched Kaul leave, then looked at Vic: "Come over and explain the situation to me, Pastor."

"Yes." Vic nodded.

…

After a while.

Horst sat in Chuck's room, looking over the records about the galaxy.

Chuck, Reina and another inquisitor have been transferred to deal with the plague. This is Horst's direct order and no one can disobey it.

But Vic was a member of the Mechanicus, and he would not be transferred. In addition, although he was worried that he would be tortured by the people of the Inquisition, Horst not only did not torture him, but instead let him sit next to him.

"A man who led the people to defeat the former governor and integrated the entire galaxy..."

"Still a dedicated soldier."

Horst looked at the records about Qin Mo. There was no expression or emotion when he spoke, which made it impossible for Vick to tell whether he praised or disparaged Qin Mo.

Horst neither praised nor disparaged, he simply recalled something from long, long ago.

During his childhood, there was a tyrant on his home planet. This tyrant was so cruel that all women and men had to seek his consent when they got married. His desire to control seeped into every corner of the planet, and all those who disobeyed him were It can only become a piece of meat torn apart by iron hounds.

Then a man named Aylde Brandt joined the Resistance Army and finally killed the tyrant with his force and psychic talent. Brandt also became a member of the Inquisition.

Because the memory was too long ago, Horst only remembered the next second after the memory flashed in his mind that he was the one who killed the tyrant.

Horst recounted his memory to Vic, and then waited for Vic's evaluation.

But Vic just said: "You have something in common with Governor Tyrone."

"No." Horst shook his head, "How can I be the same as an unscrupulous person who uses a lot of technology of unknown origin? The people of Tyrone System know that their governor is an uncertified psyker, but they still It’s not right to shield him and follow him.”

"But...but...if you showed psychic talent when you were young and were then taken away by a black ship or executed, would you still be able to lead the resistance to overthrow the tyrant?" Vic asked in surprise.

"Now that I've thought about it, I think I should have been certified before returning to my home planet to overthrow the tyrant." Horst replied.

Vic was confused by these words.

Horst smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I am not insisting that the governor of this galaxy is a heretic... To be honest, I think he is quite good. If the governor of my hometown is one percent as good as him, I will be honest. Act like a commoner."

Hearing this, Vic breathed a sigh of relief.

Horst noticed this mentality from his eyes and body movements, and immediately asked: "You seem to be intending to protect this governor?"

"No, never." Vic shook his head.

"It doesn't matter." Horst rolled up the parchment with the record and put it in his pocket. "The entire human race will face a disaster, and we need the power of the Tyrone Galaxy."

Vic was very surprised: "What? Please wait a moment, I..."

"You know the governor, right?" Horst patted Vic on the shoulder and continued: "Tomorrow you will go to the hive world with me as my entourage. I want to talk to the governor about something important. .”

Sorry, brothers, I’ve been too tired these two days. Let’s do the fifth update first. Wait for me to adjust my biological clock. Also, let’s promote the group: 826398184. I usually take the time to write a small chapter or something, and you can vote on what to write in it.
