Chapter 398: Where the enemy goes, I can go too
817.m41 November 10

"Besides eliminating the three-headed demon, our mission also requires testing several projects, including whether the Dark Raven Curse Legion has an advantage in direct confrontation with the four demonic gods, testing the Grey Knights' combat application against warp demons, and testing the resilience of the Protected Psionic Forces against demons, etc."

After 169 days and nights, following the final acclimatization training for the soldiers, reports from the War Council were repeatedly relayed in the communications of relevant personnel, and commanders of various units received the detailed plans they were required to accept.

Arthur led Aglaia and several other members of the Assassin Order, selected through rigorous screening, along the edge of the passageway.

What are your thoughts on them?

Arthur asked.

Beside this great master judge was a young apprentice.

After many years, this judge, who once aspired to a peaceful retirement, seems to have found his successor.

This apprentice was born in an industrial world within the Dawn Sector. A natural-born psionicist with unique golden eyes, he was fortunate enough to witness the reforms of the Dawn Sector. He also lived up to expectations and, after twenty-six years, successfully entered the Inquisition Force under the Dawn Sector.

"I have no opinion, Your Highness."

Aglaia replied that as she stepped into the fully operational military control zone, the gates forged by Blackstone closed behind her.

They crossed the passageway, passed the Spiritforged Titans disguised as statues, and joined the bustling crowd on the main road. The Tower of Domination appeared before them, enveloped in a gravity shield, with weapon turrets hanging from every platform and ledge.

Above them, the sky was a vibrant, pulsating purple, interwoven with the black backdrop of the universe.

The apprentices could almost see the ripples of light rising above the tower, and in the southwest, deep green light in the sky was flashing alternately.

"They're also a bit scary."

Aglaia finally admitted.

"Terrifying?"

"I used the wrong word,"

Aglaia pondered for a moment, then continued, "It's an unconventional approach, a denial of the basic logic of the world, which is why it's somewhat difficult for ordinary people to accept, like—"

"miracle?"

Arthur added.

"That's right. Although as the people involved, I think Your Highnesses don't like this title, that's just how it is."

"It's because this universe is full of despair, so they are dedicated to finding something that can offer hope."

Arthur replied, sounding rather nonchalant: "That's normal. Every human being, including us, seeks images that bring us peace of mind."

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the surrounding buildings, which were all constructed using the thirteen-part method, with almost every element deliberately connected in the direction of thirteen.

To be honest, these people are quite superstitious; they like to choose an auspicious day for everything they do.

"But this does not mean that humans should exclude any one of them."

The apprentice, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, his golden pupils fixed on the surging subspace tides in the sky.

"You don't want the Emperor to help humanity?"

Aglaia replied.

I hope he will.

The young apprentice said, "I think he will, but not because he is God."

Aglaia nodded.

As they walked, they passed through the central square, through the crowds where souls and bodies intertwined. The echoes from the warp were shut out by the Lord of Knights' contact, transforming into clear, slow-moving images.

Did I just offend you?

"I asked the young apprentice."

"what?"

Aglaia was surprised, then shook her head.

Dawnwing welcomes criticism, and with the Regent and the Duke of the Nation as role models, Dawnwing is quite patient with criticism as long as it's not just unnecessary trouble.

"No, it's just that I feel you're a lot like I used to be."

"When were you?"

Aglaia replied, "Of course, it's about me when I know nothing about the world."

At that time, the thirst for knowledge triumphed over everything, and it was believed that everything could be explained, thus creating very little fertile ground for faith.

"What caused this belief to disappear?"

The apprentice, much like a curious child, pressed, "Did you witness the so-called miracle?"

"It hasn't disappeared."

Aglaia stopped and turned to look at the young man.

“I no longer spread so-called faith, because it is essentially more like a kind of spiritual comfort, and the truth of this universe is easily overlooked because of the cruel reality of the galaxy.”

"the truth?"

"You want to know the truth?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Religion is a shackle etched into our minds, a plague that has imprisoned us for tens of thousands of years. Faith has almost destroyed us, countless times."

Aglaia recalled the texts she had read: "However, mankind has always failed to learn from history, yet it has been drawn to the indescribable by the suffering it has brought about in various ways, which has bound us and brought us countless real harms."

"of course."

The apprentice nodded matter-of-factly. "That's exactly what I fear, and that's why I once wanted to back down."

Aglaia glanced back at the other person: "Simply because it's true, demons and evil gods are real. At that moment, I seemed to understand the meaning of the existence of the Imperial Truth."

"Oh."

The other party nodded again.

Aglaia asked, “If we have to believe in the real existence of gods and demons, how much suffering will people have to endure?”

"countless."

The apprentice replied decisively.

They made their way to the top of the Tower of Domination, where the tides of the warp were visible to the naked eye. With their powerful intuition, they could even see the creatures surging within them, even without the Lord of Knights exerting any influence.

Demons, these warp beings, would have limited influence on the real universe as long as humanity does not have any knowledge of them. However, sadly, demons do indeed exist.

They exist in the subspace, and humans can only rely on the subspace to achieve faster-than-light travel.

This creates a paradox that is difficult to overcome: demons truly exist, and the objects of human faith also truly exist. Under such conditions, these greedy hunters will only grow stronger and cause endless harm to humanity.

This is the truth of the world.

It's so hopeless. How can humans deny something that actually exists and that they must come into contact with?
"And now, we will tell the world another truth."

Arthur, who had been silent for a long time due to his tactical communication with Azrael, spoke up.

"What is it, Your Highness?"

The apprentice pressed for confirmation, as if trying to ascertain something.

"Go find it."

An order was issued by Arthur and fell into Aglaia's hands, then passed to the apprentice.

The apprentices fell silent and, led by their mentors, began heading to their designated posts along with a host of other psionicists.

Arthur strode forward.

The invisible realm unfolds.

On the outskirts of 'Time Key Star', the waves of the Sea of ​​Souls began to surge.

On the surface of 'Time Key Star', the creations of the real universe gradually coalesced and solidified.

Between the two, a curtain slowly appeared.

It does not belong to reality, nor to the sea of ​​souls, nor to this universe.

It gave this planet entirely new laws.

The laws that truly belong to reality.

Death is given equally to all living beings.

Beneath the tower, the long-accumulated war machine began to turn.

The troops are scattered among the stars, their ridgelines flowing with the carved wind, like frozen waves.

Colossal Spiritforged Titans lined the roads, guarding vital facilities.

The Imperial Guards and Dark Angels present were fully prepared, waiting to defend the pass that was about to be torn open.

The remaining Grey Knights, the Silent Sisters, and the Psionicists had long been lurking in the shadows of the warp. These beings, who carried and accepted the expectations and missions of countless people, were already prepared.

hum-

A bright light suddenly shone down from the cloudless sky, and the sky, which was filled with scorched colors, began to turn green, becoming increasingly viscous.

sudden.

The apprentice subconsciously felt the intense heat.

She started sweating and realized that her clothes didn't suit the place.

Arthur lowered his head, and the blade fell into the slot at the top of the tower, like a key to start it.

His gaze involuntarily fell upon these outstanding soldiers.

The impending death of yet another war evoked sorrow, which ultimately transformed into a sudden surge of anger.

"Take up your weapons, warriors."

The voice of the Knight Lord began to echo in the ears of every warrior.

For over ten thousand years, the empire had suffered repeated defeats in its battles against Chaos, leading to a decline in its morale and national prestige.

This situation must be completely reversed from now on.

"Let us question this world."

Arthur looked up, gazing at the fleet of Eternal Wings approaching from the horizon, and the fireballs falling from the sky.

"Let us witness another truth for ourselves."

This operation is meant to clearly tell the world and the devil that from now on, the roles of offense and defense have reversed.

Kou can go.

I can go too!
