Eternal Night

Chapter 404 Someone wants to cause trouble

(PS: I have recovered well recently, and I see a few more alliance leaders. Starting from March, I will resume updating with alliance leaders.)
Kessia is a non-devout devotee who fanatically worships the Emperor.

This sentence is actually a completely true portrayal of her. This seemingly contradictory sentence represents her contradictory life.

As a Beta-level psychic, and the top-rated one among the Beta-level psychics, closest to the Alpha-level, Catherine knows the truth about the source of her power.

Subspace!
A world of mind, consciousness, and soul behind the curtain of the real material universe!

After the death of all intelligent life in the world, their mind, consciousness, memory, soul... in short, all non-material idealistic things will fall into the subspace, which is the collection of all idealistic things and is itself an idealistic world.

Psychics seem to have superpowers that violate the characteristics of physics, but in fact, these are not the powers of the psychics themselves, but come from the subspace.

A psychic is equivalent to a crack, a loophole, or a human-shaped door in the subspace. It depends on the level of your psychic ability. The higher the level, the larger the subspace power and gap that can be borrowed, absorbed, and opened. Thus, there are levels of psychics, from the weakest Omega level to the most powerful Alpha level. Although the expressiveness varies greatly, the source of their power and the form of their use are essentially the same.

Kesiya is very different from other psychics in that her psychic ability is at the mental and spiritual level, which makes her senses very sharp. The most important thing is that her mental psychic ability is clear and has a greater effect on herself than on outsiders, so it means that she is difficult to be deceived by illusions or lies, and her sensitivity and memory for special things are amazing. Even in the place where the influence of the subspace is the strongest, she can still remain rational.

It was this unique quality that prevented her from becoming fuel for the black ship. Instead, she was valued by a great inquisitor, who took her in as an inquisitor apprentice, making her a member of the Demon Tribunal and avoiding being used as firewood for the Golden Throne, or as a consumable for some ancient machine or important ceremony.

She was very grateful to her master, Grand Inquisitor Anris Gus. If it weren't for her master, she would still be at the bottom of the nest, or die a violent death, or become a prostitute. If she was lucky enough to grow up...

In fact, she was also grateful to the Emperor, instead of hating him just because she was born in a hive city, had a miserable childhood, or almost became burning material.

Because... her psychic properties allow her to clearly see the truth of the subspace!
There is nothing there except the most essential and deepest malice towards all life!!
There is neither the so-called heaven nor the so-called rest after death, nor any tranquility. The existence in the subspace only has malicious covetousness for life emotions, intellect, and soul. That is their food, that is their toy, that is the foundation and meaning of their existence. The only thing is that there is no kindness towards any life, no matter before or after death.

Kesiya saw with her own eyes... she saw countless times with her own eyes the souls of dead people falling into the subspace. If they were lucky, these souls would dissolve in the subspace with wails. This was a natural dissipation. Kesiya didn't know what this dissipation felt like, but it had absolutely nothing to do with tranquility, rest, and peace. Judging from the performance of these souls, it was probably the same as falling into aqua regia and then slowly dissolving into nothingness.

These are the luckiest of the lucky ones.

Under normal circumstances, the souls after death will be captured by the beings of the Warp. If it is a Chaos-type Warp existence, then these souls can barely be considered lucky because they will be quickly devoured. As for whether they will be directly digested, or turned into a part of the Chaos-type Warp existence and slowly savored by it, or wailing in its body for almost eternal life... this is not something Caesia can know.

But even so, this is not the most tragic thing... In fact, these are the lucky ones.

The most tragic of all souls that fall into the subspace are those that are captured by the demons under the command of those four beings.

Become a wailing part, become a cannonball that groans in pain, be forged into a weapon or a piece of armor on an anvil with a bunch of similar souls, and every collision is like the pain of your soul being cut into pieces by a thousand knives. Or be stuck to the wall and become a part of a fortress, or be used to be consumed slowly, bit by bit, or fall into a pile of stinking fungus-covered pus, corroded bit by bit, but unable to die, split and spread on spores and fungi, or become a musical instrument, the way it is played is to tear your soul apart and reassemble it, and the tone of the instrument is the sound of your screams...

These are not exaggerated embellishments, but real definitions and nouns!

It is all the truth that Kesiya has truly seen through her psychic abilities!!

I repeat, this is the truth, the truth, the truth. This is the truth that all life in this world must eventually face!

The only exception is her salvation, her faith, her hope... the Emperor!
She had seen with her own eyes that some souls, because of their extreme piety and contributions to the Emperor and the Human Empire, actually returned to the Golden Throne and truly went to the Emperor's realm, thus avoiding all those horrible encounters and truly obtaining rest and tranquility after death!

And this is the only reason why Caesia has devout faith in the Emperor.

The more one knows the truth of the universe, the more devoutly one believes in the Emperor, and the more loyal one will be to the Human Empire, human civilization, and the Emperor.

And now, Kesiya fell into extreme confusion.

She was familiar with the intelligence information of various demons in the Warp, whether it was the holy numbers, symbols, images, functions of various rituals, the meanings of various aliases, or even the real names of some demons. Naturally, she was familiar with them all, including the definition of colors in the Warp...

Not to mention the blood red, cobalt blue, rotten green, and bright pink, they represent the four most terrifying, powerful, and most malicious evil gods in the subspace towards all life. They are the spokespersons for all terror, and are the masterminds behind the misfortune suffered by mankind and all life. They are the greatest darkness, the greatest terror!
But that golden color...

Kesiya will never admit her mistake!
That is her belief, that is the source of all her hopes, and that is the goal she strives for... As long as this golden light can descend upon her when she dies and take her to the Golden Throne, she is willing to give everything for it!
This discovery shocked Kesiya's three perspectives. Because in all her knowledge, the owner of this golden light... the Emperor she believed in was the protector of mankind who was hostile to the four evil gods, and the nemesis of the four evil gods and all the demons in the subspace.

But what did she see?
She saw that the Emperor was joining forces with the Four Evil Gods, the reason was to deceive this human's senses and cognition! ?

The reason?
why?

Isn't the Emperor in eternal battle with the Four Evil Gods? Aren't they mortal enemies?
And this human with the symbol of another evil god besides Slaanesh...if he is really a human, is it really that important? Is he a symbol of some powerful existence in the Warp? Is he some ancient heretic god? Or is he someone similar to the cursed being ten thousand years ago?

An existence that is powerful enough to change the fate and direction of the galaxy, one that both the Emperor and the Four Evil Gods are willing to invest in?

But even so, it should be the four evil gods fighting each other and then fighting for this existence, and the emperor also participated in this battle, right?
Why... they all simultaneously deceived the senses and cognition of this being, instead of stirring up a subspace storm and directly investing their power to snatch it?
Kesiah couldn't understand, she was lost.

Although she knew why this paradise world was so clean after seeing all this, it was precisely because she knew all this that she became even more confused.

She didn't even dare to tell anyone else what she had seen and known!

This is not only a huge blasphemy against the Emperor's divinity and the foundation of his existence, but it is also likely that her disclosure will destroy the Emperor's plans!

As an official inquisitor of the Empire, Caesia knows many secrets unknown to others, such as the rumor that some people can survive in incredible desperate situations. These people claim that it was the Emperor who let them survive because their value as the Emperor's currency has not been fully consumed, and the Emperor decided to let them die on the battlefield where they are more needed.

This was seen by many as a rumor, a fantasy of these people, but of course, it was a symbol of piety, so no one denied it.

But Kesia knew it was true!

The Emperor has been laying out his plans on the chessboard of the Human Empire, and He decides the life and death of all humans.

Life is the currency of the Emperor, and this statement is true!

Kesiya didn't know what to do now. All she had been learning, understanding, training, and her mission was to eliminate the enemies of mankind. As the judge of the Demon Tribunal, she was the mortal enemy of all the demons, especially the plots of the four evil gods, which she had to destroy.

But...if this scheming emperor was also involved, then what should she do?
Kesiya didn't know what she should do. In fact, she confirmed again and again that she must do something, whether it was to stop it or to obey the Emperor's arrangements and closely monitor this paradise world to prevent anyone from destroying the Emperor's plan, she... must do something!
However, she couldn't decide all this by herself, so she made a dangerous decision...

"Taichlon, my chief of guards and my old comrade..."

Kaisiya walked out of the prayer room in the church hall and called Tai Qilong. In a closed secret room, she placed holy objects all around and said to Tai Qilong directly: "I will reveal a very important piece of intelligence to you here, but because of the special nature of this intelligence, I am very likely to... well, I will almost certainly execute you after you know it, or execute you after the mission is accomplished..."

Tai Qilong didn't even frown. He said calmly and coldly, "Please speak."

Kessia was silent for a few seconds. She revealed what she had seen and the secrets of the Warp that she knew. At the end, she painfully said that after becoming an Inquisitor, this was the first time she didn't know what to do.

Tai Qilong touched his mechanical eye and pulled it out directly. Blood and electric sparks flew everywhere, but he seemed to feel no pain. He stomped on the mechanical eye and blew it up. Then he said calmly and coldly: "You don't need to be confused. From now on, please be ready to execute me at any time. At the same time, my advice to you is..."

"All evil gods and demons are enemies of humanity! If you find that evil gods and demons may be saving humanity, or that all of their plots may be what we humans... any human beings, expect, then this must be their tricks, illusions, deceptions, and vicious plots!"

Kaisiya was shocked, then she gradually regained her composure and walked towards the door of the secret room, saying as she walked: "Great, this is exactly what I need!"

"Now! Enter the heavenly world, find this man, and then..."

"Destroy him!"
