Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"Can I trust you?"

These were the first words that Calvin said when he saw the high-ranking Inquisitor Chasov, the accompanying representative of the Tribunal on the fleet.

Calvin is determined to completely eliminate the time bomb of the Space Wolves, but before that, he must first trace the source and find the hidden danger hidden within the Inquisition.

This kind of internal investigation is different from the past. The first question the original body has to face is who can carry out this task, or who is the person who can put aside the position of the Inquisition and fully execute his own will.

"Of course, but what do you want?" The scholar saluted as usual, and then stood up while answering Calvin's question.

"All your loyalty, all." Calvin emphasized the latter words, and the scholar finally sensed the seriousness of the original body.

He did not give a direct answer to the original body's question, but after lowering his head and thinking for a moment, he put forward his own conditions to the original body:

"I have a request." Chasov straightened his robes and looked directly at the original body's face with his light gray eyes.

"Speak." Calvin was not surprised by Chasov's answer. The Tribunal was also composed of living people, and everyone had their own desires.

"What if..." Chasov said a word in a dry tone, and then instinctively tugged on the collar that he had just tightened.

He coughed slightly, and then reorganized his words:

"If one day, you launch an expedition to Chaos, I hope you will take me with you before entering the fear..."

"Hate?" Calvin was surprised for a moment. While he spat out the word carefully, he carefully examined the aura of the mortal in front of him.

All of Chasov's emotions were reflected in these spectrums, and his overflowing emotions were also detected by the original body.

But at this time, the scholar across the table seemed to have had his soul drained out, and he withered with this word.

"As you can see, it is hatred, but it is even more unwilling." Chasov said in a bleak tone:

"I have some questions that I need to confirm with an old friend. If you would allow me..."

"Okay." Calvin interrupted the scholar and directly gave his promise.

Let's not talk about whether there will be such a day, even if it does happen, then he will not mind having such a person beside him.

"Then as you wish, you have gained my loyalty." The old man slowly bent down and saluted, while the original body just stared at him without any hindrance.

After Chasov stood up again, the original body spoke to him and gave him his orders:

"Look up the people behind the Gian Moro Sector, you know who I'm talking about. You don't have much time, get me a list as soon as possible before we get there."

"Where is the direction?" Chasov grasped the key to the problem.

"Meetings, public opinion, directional intelligence, leaders in collective decisions, or initiators. I will give you the authorization of the Holy Hammer Order, and you can mobilize all resources within the Order." Calvin said.

"Your will." Chasov lowered his head and stepped back, then turned and left the primarch's room.

Calvin watched his figure disappear outside the door and remained silent for a long time.

Compared with the previous contamination and infiltration, conspiracy is the area where the evil god is really good at. He knows that this kind of investigation is difficult to achieve results in a short time, but this is the only time left for him.

The original body stood up and walked to his equipment room. The servitors in the room were awakened after hearing the sound, and began to put on the parts of the power armor for the original body with the help of automatic machines.

After finishing dressing up, Calvin came to his private chapel and slowly knelt down in front of the statue of the emperor.

This is a meditation habit he has developed in the Gray Knights for a long time. It is also a rare time for him to show his vulnerable side as his identity changes.

Only in front of this man who shoulders the fate of all mankind will he let go of his identity as the commander-in-chief of the Legion;

Only in this small sealed space could he put down his heavy burden and return to the beginning.

It's time to re-examine yourself, Calvin thought.

This was his first deep meditation since leaving Terra, and it was also a deep self-examination for his entire body's growth during this period.

His physical strength, which he had not actively paid attention to for a long time, has made great progress, and the analysis work of the "holy blood cells" that has always occupied a considerable part of the computing resources in his brain seems to have new insights.

"45%?" Calvin looked at the "golden cells" wrapped in his spiritual energy at the position of his heart, and the surprise in his heart was almost reflected on his face.

This progress was a big surprise to Calvin. After all, before the war in Orpheus was over, the progress of this analysis was already approaching 40%.

But the secrets hidden in the emperor's body are so huge. According to Calvin's observation, after each layer of analysis is successful, the amount of data in the next layer is at least ten times that of the previous one, or even more.

How long have you been stuck at this 40% mark?

ten years? Twenty years? Thirty years?

No, it’s been a full forty-one years!

After waiting for more than forty years, he almost thought that this was the limit of his body's talent. If it weren't for the secondary balancing of the power in his body every time he used psychic energy, he would almost forget that there was such a long-term "big energy consumer" in his body.

"Release..." Calvin's thoughts moved, and the psychic barrier surrounding the cluster of cells dissipated instantly.

The arterial circuit growing from the first heart was quietly broken, and the temporary organ composed of stem cells supported by this blood vessel immediately disintegrated itself and began to migrate and spread along the direction of the atrial artery toward the second heart and other organs.

The brain, lungs, liver, and spinal cord are the first organs affected by the new generation of holy blood cells, followed by nerve cells, stomach, kidneys and other organs.

These new generation cells are like seeds that take root one after another. As soon as they enter various organs, they begin to plunder nutrients from the surrounding vascular tissue and begin to divide themselves crazily.

Irregular circles spread out to all directions with "them" as the center, seemingly slowly but actually quickly; after each organ was completely replaced by these cells, it began to have more powerful functions.

Calvin felt the temperature in his body rising rapidly, and the water and energy in his entire body were being consumed at an extraordinary level;

And the vitality that was almost overflowing from his body made every breath he took visibly longer and longer.

At this time, the original body was like a huge furnace, devouring all the accumulated energy in his body with a terrifying appetite...

"No!" The protest in his stomach made Calvin suddenly wake up. Why is this scene so familiar now?

All the embarrassing scenes on the black ship were repeated before his eyes, especially the scene where he woke up in the life-support cabin and was watched in public by the Sisters of Silence, which made him even more irritated!

Never make the same mistake again! The original body immediately gave an order to the servo skull standing by:

"Holy Blood! Immediately ask the restaurant to send me five units... no, ten units, no, 50 units of standard rations! There are also special metal nutrients, fifty units too!"

Giving orders to the servo skull, Calvin's men were not idle either.

He got up from the floor and walked through the small door to the storage room of the chapel. In the freezer here, he rummaged through the rations specially prepared for the war preparation period.

The package made of alloy was roughly torn open by the original body, and the tinplate package inside was immediately brutally attacked. The lumps that were still in a solidified state without being prepared were dug out by fingers, and then disappeared into Calvin's hungry mouth.

One portion, two portions, three portions...

Ten copies, twenty copies, thirty copies...

The twisted metal packaging quickly piled up a hill around Calvin, and feeling the faster evolution after being replenished in his body, Calvin almost had to forcibly restrain his appetite and not take a bite of the ceramic steel refrigerator in front of him...

"Sir, what you asked for...well, it's here."

Guard Captain Golden walked into the chapel with Captain Nicholas of the Forbidden Army. The volume of this batch of supplies obviously exceeded the limit that one person could move.

Golden was already curious about the original body's needs, but when he looked at Calvin from afar through a small door with red eyes, he couldn't help being startled.

"Do you need help from the pharmacist?" Nicholas stepped forward behind him, put down the supplies in his hand, and asked the original body.

He was obviously more resistant to the scene in front of him, so he still asked the original body in a calm tone.

This is of course not just his personal superior psychological quality, but that before setting off, he had received training on some "special knowledge" of the original body under Trajan's order.

The Calvin in front of him has obviously entered a state of "accelerated growth" again, and based on the knowledge he has learned, it is best to have a pharmacist present in this situation.

"No need..." Calvin said as he stepped forward to take the things from the captain of the guard.

He resisted the advice of the Captain of the Forbidden Army. In his eyes, the less people knew about this embarrassing state, the better.

"Hmm...it smells good?!"

He opened the non-disposable ceramic tableware easily, and the temporarily prepared food in the restaurant was in a semi-solid state. While it was obviously easier to absorb, it also aroused the original body's stronger appetite.

But if he didn't know enough about this thing, Calvin himself wouldn't believe that he could actually smell the fragrance from a puddle of metal and ceramic powder mixture?

"Sure enough, I am too hungry!" Calvin thought, but the Forbidden Army Captain behind him was not prepared to let him go.

"But your body needs the help of pharmacists. Detailed data recording can help your body grow and prepare for the next event in advance."

"Scream..." Calvin sighed silently, and then finally gave in to the Forbidden Army Captain who insisted on his own opinion.

The guard captain beside him saw that the matter was settled, so he pulled Nicholas and retreated silently.

In the chapel where silence had returned, only a four-meter-tall man was left with a mournful face, eating quietly under the emperor's gaze.

So for the entire next day, Calvin maintained a strong appetite under the watchful eye of the pharmacist. He used his record of eating more than 20% of his own body weight in food within 24 hours to successfully fight in the unremitting jihad. No. 1 restaurant left an eternal legend.

During this period, the supplies sent to his residence had not stopped, and the pharmacist, who brought the instruments temporarily moved from the medical area, also maintained the same excited thirst for knowledge, and kept taking notes as if he had found a treasure.

During this period, Calvin's appetite had gradually faded away. He continued to eat while trying to ignore the presence of the pharmacist beside him.

The abnormal progress of the holy blood cells reminded him again, but after searching his entire body, he could not find the final reason that caused his analysis work to cross the 40% mark.

And this was not the end. Just when Calvin finally got through the growth period of his body and began to prepare to find a quiet sleep time for his nutritionally replenished body, the annoying pharmacist was still observing the dormant state of the original body. Reason, shamelessly refused to leave.

So Calvin's privacy was invaded again, and he could only compromise again and take the pharmacist to his dormitory, and then suppressed his sleepiness and said to the latter, "Please help yourself." After that, he Lying on his huge bed.

Drowsiness surged over him like a tide, and Calvin's consciousness sank rapidly. His perspective passed through all levels of the spiritual world, and finally sank into the deep sea of ​​the subconscious.

The highest heaven, the spiritual world, the pure land of the soul, and then the endless ocean below the earth...

etc!

Calvin, who was just about to give up the dominance of his consciousness, felt as if he had seen something. He struggled to contain his sleepiness and struggled upward, and then saw the concept called "Unyielding" deep in his soul.

This wisp of feathers has grown significantly at some point, and has quietly unfolded based on his most fundamental "hope" given by the emperor.

Oh, is that it?

Instinct or subconscious was telling Calvin that this was the biggest reason for his breakthrough.

It turns out that when the original body's body grows to a certain extent, the "essence" in its body is the final "key" to unlock the next step of growth.

This growth is different from a simple increase in physical strength, but a more comprehensive enhancement of the body and soul possessed by the original body.

"It" is not just a simple enhancement on the physical level, but on the level of cosmic rules, an increase in the "weight" that the original body uses to leverage those terrifying powers!

This is the secret of the original body, and it is also the essential reason why "legendary creatures" like them can possess powers that all biologists cannot understand.

As an outsider, Calvin had no such thing.

The only semblance of existence he had were those "concepts" originally given to him by the Emperor.

But that's where it ends, because the upper limit of the power that ray of concept can bear is the weight that Calvin had previously grasped.

If he had not started collecting "concepts" under the emperor's order, it would be almost impossible for him to have the opportunity to grow.

Calvin understood the principle in a daze, but he still did not stop checking the soul.

This secret was indeed important enough to him, but it was by no means the reason why he had just been awakened.

what is it then? Calvin searched instinctively in the spiritual world, and after a moment of fruitless search, he suddenly found the one who allowed him to live in the square of his soul temple, at the end of the line of quiet petitioners. Feel the strange existence!

"Gan! Why are you here! Cerbos!"
