Chapter 357: The Imperial Palace

Although he was bringing Roche to meet the Emperor, the Seal Bearer seemed to be in no hurry. He even had time to take Roche and Dorn around the palace.

They were carried by some ancient-looking anti-gravity hovercraft. Otherwise, given the size and complexity of the palace, it would be difficult for them to get out even if they were given a year.

Luo Xi had doubts in his heart, do they really have so much time to waste?

However, Rogal Dorn still had to hand over command to Lionel Johnson, which involved tens of millions of complex parts and billions of personnel changes.

"Don't worry, I have modified the flow of time here." Malcador said lightly.

"Don't think that we have been here for a long time. In fact, from the perspective of a third party's time coordinates, only a few seconds have passed."

"We don't have much time, but we can still spare a few seconds."

Luo Xi couldn't help but curl his lips, envious of Malcador's arrogant behavior.

Ordinary psychics all regard psychic power as a scourge and have to control and call upon it with great caution. If they make a mistake, the power of the subspace will backfire on them.

Even those think tanks had to carefully and patiently sharpen their minds, restrain their hearts with transcendent spiritual realms and precepts, and bind the power of psychic ether with sincere faith in the Emperor.

As for Malcador, he teleported the three people to Terra as if he was strolling in the garden, and casually rewrote the flow of time here.

To be honest, an immortal human with such psychic powers is no different from a god. A Chaos Demon of Samus's level could be manipulated like a toy in Malcador's hands.

The Emperor's position of Malcador is just a civil servant of the Empire.

Are all civil servants monsters?
He recalled Malcador's identities in his mind: Regent of Terra, Minister of Finance, Chairman of the Terran Council. According to some rumors, this Sigillite is establishing an organization called the Inquisition, and the Assassin's Court in the Shadow of the Empire is also closely related to him.

Although he is a civilian, looking at the entire empire, even including the Primarchs, there may be no military officer who can defeat him.

As Malcador just said, the entire Terra Palace is actually a giant building complex that combines historical relics, museums, secret warehouses, scientific research centers, etc., and traces of almost every historical period of mankind can be found here.

The vast majority of them are human relics confiscated from the so-called Sigillite organization, while others are relics that the Emperor took back from various technological warlords and barbarians during the Terran Unification Wars.

Roche even saw the outer galaxy space probe launched by the country across the ocean out of curiosity and desire for exploration when humanity was still in its infancy.

"Voyager 2, didn't its battery run out a long time ago and could only rely on inertia to drift in deep space? I didn't expect that it would last until the st millennium of mankind." Roche said with emotion.

"This is what we, the Sigillites, do. We discover, we protect, and we contain."

"What we protect are not all things that have practical uses. Often the significance of an object lies more in its historical significance."

Voyager 2 is humanity's first substantive attempt to explore the universe. Although it has no scientific and technological value, it has special significance.

"But why is there only No. 2 and No. 1?" Luo Xi asked puzzledly.

Macador was silent for a moment, and then he spoke with a grin.

"According to the psychic projection, we found that a Necron Overlord took Voyager 1. This is really strange. Why would the echoes of those ancient races be interested in our antiques?"

"Even those pieces of space junk are tens of thousands of years more advanced than Voyager 1."

Now it was Roshi's turn to be silent, because even though Malcador had not mentioned the other party's name and characteristics, the smug face of a museum owner from Solomnas emerged in his mind.

"Why, do you have any idea, Roxi?" Macador was a little surprised, and Roxi waved his hands awkwardly to indicate that he didn't know.

To be honest, Trazyn is the overlord of the Necrons, but he always likes to do petty thefts all over the universe. It is really embarrassing to say that you know him.

The next time he sees him, Roche will definitely ask him where he hid Voyager 1.

The three of them rode their anti-gravity hovercraft deeper and deeper into the heart of the Terra Imperial Palace, its outline gradually emerging above the horizon. Countless palaces nestled against the mountainside. The vast Himalayas had been completely transformed into a human world, and the intricate, exquisite architecture became ever more distinct.

Roxi didn't know who built it. When the Emperor arrived, a large part of the Terra Palace was already completed. In the distant past, some existence built these buildings for some purpose.

In the Terra Palace, the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly a giant structure reaching to the sky. It is like the Tower of Babel in ancient mythology. According to Malcador, this is the largest single man-made building on Terra.

Imperial Astronomican.

The tip of the Astronomican has already broken through the atmosphere, but the dazzling psychic light is enough to penetrate any barrier. Even at the edge of the Milky Way, navigators can see the glittering light of the Astronomican on Terra.

The Star Torch contained extremely terrifying psychic power. Even when Luo Xi stood dozens of kilometers away and looked at it with his naked eyes, he felt that his soul seemed to be ignited by it.

"When the Empire was first established after the Unification War, the Emperor ordered the construction of the Astronomican. The technical priests from Mars and the Emperor's personal experts worked together. After paying an unimaginable price, the Astronomican for navigation was created."

Macador seemed a little sad. Even if humans stood tens of kilometers away from the Astronomican, they were still as small as ants. If it weren't for the use of some special technology, the existence of the Astronomican would be enough to crush the continental plates beneath it and sink directly into the mantle and core.

What he was sad about was that glorious period when humanity achieved unification and the Emperor used his extraordinary knowledge to create the Primarchs and the Astartes Legion, launching the magnificent Great Crusade.

Mankind broke free from the endless decadence of the long night and began to move forward again.

Although the human empire created by the Emperor and Malcador is a completely extreme, ignorant and stubborn political system, everyone has to admit that humans can only accept such imperial rule now.

As long as we can unite humanity and allow human civilization to continue, all sacrifices are worth it.

No betrayal is too small to forgive, no sacrifice too great to accept.

Countless giant sculptures that are as big as Emperor-class Titans stand in the square leading to the throne room of the palace. Those magnificent objects carved from giant marble record and tell what happened in the distant past.

Human beings have been fighting against nature since their birth, and only through constant struggle has mankind come to where it is today.

From the moment they entered a magnificent archway, any mobile vehicles were prohibited from entering, and the Seal Bearer and Luo Xi could only move forward on foot.

Luo Xi had a vague feeling that countless pairs of eyes were watching him from an imperceptible place. This came from his extremely sensitive intuition, which had helped him overcome difficulties countless times.

"The Emperor's Guards. They are everywhere in the Palace," Malcador said quietly.

Sure enough, as the Seal Bearer spoke, several powerful warriors who were taller than Astartes and equipped with gorgeous golden armor suddenly appeared from various places that Roxi could not imagine. They were

They wore some kind of sharp helmets engraved with complicated runes, with long red tassels hanging from the top. The mighty Imperial Sky Eagle was branded on their breastplates and shoulder armors, and the round skulls symbolizing human purity embellished the blank area below the Sky Eagle.

Each of the imperial guards held a guard spear in their hands. Their steps were light and silent, yet as swift as lightning.

"The ultimate creation of the Emperor's bio-alchemy, the Custodian."

Luo Xi thought to himself that these golden-armored warriors looked more powerful than the Astartes. Even in their non-combat state, they were still several levels ahead of the Space Marines in terms of numerical strength.

"But why do these guys look... more like some kind of golden corn?" Luo Xi secretly complained in his heart. Of course he didn't dare to say it out loud. He had never dealt with the Emperor's Guards, and God knew whether they were easy to get along with.

"Seal Master, please follow me."

The leading imperial guard swept his eyes with a cold knife, and there was no difference in the way he looked at the seal holder, Roche, and Rogaldorn, as if he were a ruthless flesh and blood machine.

Following behind the Imperial Guards, Luo Xi and others were able to enter the throne room where the Emperor was now.

The melodious sound of bells echoed in the palace, the steps of the imperial guards were as precise as if they were carved, and the huge stained glass windows let in the sun's rays, making this place even more sacred and transcendent.

The throne room is right before our eyes.
