The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

No one expected that such a thing could emerge from this B-bottom nest. The champion has come out. This is no longer an ordinary chaos cult.

"Those people are in trouble." Brother Ou said as he looked at the changing situation.

After the appearance of the Mortal Champion of Khorne, the situation on the field was completely reversed. The team's guns could not penetrate the champion's armor, and each axe of the champion could reap the lives of several people.

After emptying his pistol, the captain drew his sword and engaged the champion. His skills allowed him to deal with the champion, and he stabbed the champion several times through the gaps in his armor, but to no avail. The gap between the two could not be made up by skill, and the champion soon found a flaw in the captain's attack and chopped it down with his axe.

The captain knew he couldn't dodge and raised his sword to block, but the champion's axe broke his sword in less than a second, and a huge wound was left on his chest. If he hadn't taken a step back and had the protection of close-fitting armor, his upper body would have been cut off.

Seeing that the axe failed to kill the captain, the champion raised his leg and kicked the captain out. The captain flew several meters and fell to the ground. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he became motionless and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice to the skull throne!"

The champion shouted the K Party's most classic slogan and walked towards the captain step by step with a battle axe in his hand. He wanted to use the captain's head as a sacrifice to the Blood God.

The remaining people rushed over to try to stop the champion, so as to give the people behind him time to take the captain away, but they could not stop the champion's footsteps, and soon the champion killed all these people one by one.

The slaughter of the Mortal Champion of Khorne was witnessed by all, and Eryu had already drawn his combat knife and was ready for action when his captain was kicked away.

Apoo and the others would not care about the Empire's own troubles. If the Empire could solve Chaos' problems on its own, they would not intervene. But now that Chaos has the upper hand, they cannot ignore it. Who knows what big thing this mortal champion of Khorne is going to do.

"I'm up."

Er Yu stood up and was about to rush out, but a hand grabbed him. It was Luo Chen.

"Eryu, don't be anxious."

Luochen just pinched his right hand, and the mortal champion of Khorne performed a brain-exploding boy's show on the spot. His entire head was blown into pieces and could not even be put back together.

"..."

"Why are you all looking at me? Just say the solution hasn't been solved yet."

Killing a mortal champion with ease, this is the value of a psychic!

Everyone arrived at the battlefield, and there was no one alive standing in this place where there had been a passionate gunfight not long ago.

Apu went to the captain's position and checked. The captain still had a heartbeat and was breathing.

"This person is still alive, someone come and help."

Brother Ou came over and pressed the captain's wound. If he bled any more, he would probably die.

Apu took out a spray can and a needle from his backpack. He shook the spray can and sprayed a white foam on the captain's wound. This medical foam can stop bleeding quickly.

Next came the medical injection. When Apu injected the captain, he only pushed a small tube in. This was a medical injection for Astartes. It might be dangerous to use it on mortals. After all, not everyone has the drug resistance that Noshen has.

The medical injection took effect quickly, and the captain's breathing gradually stabilized, but it was unknown how long it would take for him to wake up.

While cleaning up, Apu noticed a silver necklace that fell next to the captain. Apu picked up the necklace and called Ou Ge and Luo Chen over.

"Come and take a look at this."

"What are you looking at? I'm going! The Inquisition!"

Ou Ge and Luo Chen said in unison that the pendant on the silver necklace in Apu's hand was the symbol of the Imperial Inquisition.

The Inquisition was founded by Malcador, the former Chancellor of the Human Empire. It is a super spy agency that combines the functions of secret police, espionage, heretic grilling, alien hunting and mutant extermination. Its power is so great that it almost surpasses any other political entity in the Empire. There are many factions within it, which can be generally divided into pure factions and radical factions. But no matter which faction, it is full of crazy people.

In Warhammer 40k, the Inquisition has done countless bad things, and the Lunar Month of Shame is the most famous one. The Inquisition and the Space Wolves had a conflict. It was originally a matter of taking a step back, but it escalated into a large-scale fight with the Space Wolves, resulting in heavy losses for both sides. In the end, it was the Wolves' Perpetual Dreadnought who came out to mediate.

The official personnel of the Inquisition are called Inquisitors. Basically, every Inquisitor is a maniac or a hidden maniac. Even if they are normal people at first, they will become maniacs in the future. However, no matter how maniac they are, many Inquisitors have indeed dedicated their lives to humanity.

In short, the Inquisition is the most disgusting, hypocritical, and insane institution in the Imperium of Man, bar none. However, its contributions to the Imperium of Man cannot be denied. The Imperium of Man needs the Inquisition. Even if it is evil, the Inquisition is a necessary evil for the survival of humanity. (But some evils are indeed unnecessary.)

"Is this man the Inquisitor?" Brother Ou looked at the captain who was still unconscious.

"No, if he is an Inquisitor, his equipment is too poor." Apu didn't think that the captain was an Inquisitor. He should just be someone related to the Inquisition.

"Want to leave him here?"

"Those gangs might come back and take them away."

Chapter 15: Drive out all heretics!

A broken sword, a torn chest, his own body flying backwards, and the heretic approaching with wild laughter, this was the last scene Alan saw before he passed out.

Just as Allen's mentor had said, he was too reckless, and was only driven by passion to annihilate the enemies of the Empire. He had not thought it through carefully, nor had he made adequate preparations before entering the Underhive. Soldiers alone were enough to deal with ordinary cult scum, but once a heretic blessed by Chaos appeared, that little force would be no match for them.

I have failed the Emperor, I have failed my mentor, and I have failed my own ideals.

In a daze, Allen recalled his past. He was born in an ordinary family in a civilized world. His parents were devout believers of the Emperor. However, a sudden heretical rebellion destroyed his family. The city where he lived was bombed into ruins. His parents died to protect him, and he was also buried under the ruins.

Just as Allen's consciousness was gradually fading, a man dug him out from the ruins. This man was his current mentor, the Inquisitor Credion, who was responsible for suppressing this heretical rebellion.

Alan still remembers the joy when his mentor dug him out of the rubble. When he woke up from the hospital bed, his mentor was sitting beside him. Then the mentor told him in a calm tone that he was the only survivor in the entire city. He now had only one choice, which was to become his mentor's apprentice.

"Life is the Emperor's currency. Yours is of greater value than any other. Use it wisely."

At that time, Allen did not understand the meaning of this sentence. He became his mentor's apprentice alone. After receiving a short period of training from his mentor, he was sent to the Zhongsi Academy. In the academy, he learned how to be loyal to the Emperor. After graduating from the Zhongsi Academy with excellent results, he returned to his mentor to learn how to become an inquisitor.

During the time he was studying with his mentor, Allen also learned the truth about the destruction of his hometown. At that time, the Chaos believers in the heresy blocked the city, and wanted to use the people of the entire city as sacrifices to open the subspace rift to summon demons. This action was discovered by Credien. It was too late to enter the city to stop it, so Credien made a prompt decision and blew up the entire city, turning the Chaos believers and the city into ashes.

After stopping the heretic's actions, Credion walked into the city that he ordered to be blown up. This was another sin he committed in his career as an inquisitor. He thought that all life in the city had disappeared, but he scanned a faint life signal, and this life was Allen.

This was simply the Emperor's blessing. You know, in order to completely eradicate the heresy, Credien ordered more than one round of bombing, but Alan still survived.

Credien's joy was beyond words. He believed that Allen was a child who was watched by the Emperor, and that he was the redemption and test given to him by the Emperor. He wanted to train Allen to be a great Inquisitor and fulfill his value for the Emperor.

After learning the truth, Allen did not resent his mentor. He knew how terrible the enemy the Empire faced was. So for the Emperor, for the Empire, and for those who needed protection like he once did, Allen would expel all the enemies of humanity without leaving a single one behind! Not a single one!

Am I dead? Someone like me can't return to the Golden Throne...but why is there a fragrance?

The alluring aroma forced Allen to open his eyes. The pain in his body made him realize that he was not dead. Was he captured? Impossible. That heretic had no need to do that.

Someone saved me... Was it my mentor? But my mentor should be investigating heresy within the noble family right now, so who could it be? Saving myself from a blessed cultist is something no one could do.

And what smells so good? Is someone cooking Grox meat?

Alan looked in the direction where the aroma came from. Six people wearing gas masks and tight protective suits were sitting next to him eating food he didn't recognize.

"Huh? This kid is awake."

Xianyu found that Alan had woken up. He walked over with his can of beef, squatted in front of Alan and asked:

"Can you still move? Do you want to eat something?"

"You saved me? Who are you?"

Alan always felt a strange sense of disharmony when looking at the six people, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Haha, since you asked, we will mercifully tell you."

"..."

"Why don't you answer it?" Xianyu asked, turning around.

"At what age is he still using the Rockets meme? Isn't that awkward? And does he understand the meme?"

It's not that everyone is confused, but when playing with memes, you should always play with people who understand them, otherwise you will be the one who gets embarrassed. Besides, some memes are not popular in Warhammer 40k.

"What are you talking about?" Alan was confused by what everyone said.

"It's nothing. Just pretend we didn't say anything. As for who we are," Apu said as he walked over. "Just treat us as ordinary citizens passing through the Empire."

Ordinary citizens passing by the empire...no one would believe it!

Alan didn't believe Apu's nonsense. Could an ordinary person really save him from the Chaos Heretic?

"As for you, why would the Inquisition come to this damn place like the Underhive? And without sufficient force." Apu took the necklace he picked up - the Inquisition Rose Knot and shook it in front of Alan.

"give me back!"

Allen endured the pain and tried to take the rose knot from Apu's hand. The trial court's certificate must not fall into the hands of others.

"Here, here, we don't need this." Seeing this, Apu threw the rose knot directly into Alan's arms.

Alan put the rose knot in his arms and looked at Apu and others again. These people knew about the Inquisition but had no respect or fear for it. You know, even the nobles living on the top of the tower would treat him respectfully after seeing the rose knot, although this respect came from his mentor.

"Eat something first, we can talk later."

Apu waved to his companions, and Awei came over with a can of heated beef and handed it to Allen.

Alan's nose twitched. The aroma coming from the can whetted his appetite. He didn't worry too much. If these people wanted to harm him, they wouldn't have saved him. There was no need to tamper with the food.

"What kind of meat is this?" Alan took a bite. The canned food tasted very good, much better than the canned food in the Star Army rations. However, he couldn't tell what the meat inside was.

As a trainee inquisitor, Allen had eaten a lot of delicious food in various imperial worlds with his mentor. The meat in the cans tasted very similar to top-grade Grox meat and ant beef, but it was more tender and juicy than Grox meat, softer than ant beef, and did not have the juicy feeling of insect eggs.

Allen was even more skeptical. Could these guys dressed as scavengers afford to eat such high-quality meat? Or was it just canned food?

Just now, Allen was still wondering whether Apu and others were the people sent by his mentor to protect him, but now it seems that it is definitely not the case.

"This is a specialty from a paradise world in the Solar Star Region. If you can't get used to it, we can give you canned ant-cow." Luo Chen took out a can of ant-cow. This was the leftover from their previous meal. It had not been inactivated, and they were going to find a time to throw it out as a grenade.

The paradise world in the Solar Star Region must be Terra. Wouldn’t Terra in the 3k era be a pure paradise world in the 40k era?

"Then forget it."

It's obvious from the packaging of the canned ant cow that the insects are not killed properly. Alan doesn't want to die from the can of ant cow, it's too embarrassing.

The Solar Star Region, the Heavenly World.

Alan noticed these two key words. The other party was not the indigenous people of Atis. Combined with the conversation just now, Alan had some guesses about the identities of these people.

"The subordinates of your other Inquisitors?"

Alan guessed that these people might be agents under an Inquisitor from another Solar Star Domain, or private soldiers of a powerful person in the Solar Star Domain. Even more terrifying, they might be assassins from the Assassin's Court, but that was basically impossible.

"Unfortunately, I guessed wrong. We are not anyone's subordinates. We are loyal to only one person." Apu did not make his words clear. According to the understanding of the Imperials, this person must be the Emperor, but Apu was actually talking about themselves.

But in order to prevent the people in the court from speculating, Apu added:

“For the emperor.”

This sentence was very successful, at least it dispelled most of Allen's doubts. At least the other party was loyal to the Emperor, not a heretic traitor.

"What about you? Introduce yourself."

"Alan, Alan Grisha, trainee judge (interpreter)." Alan said his name.

The few people who often watched anime looked at each other. The name sounded a bit too extreme, but a bit too conservative in the Warhammer universe.

"Trainee Inquisitor, why are you coming to the Underhive instead of staying with your mentor?"

And he only brought a team of private soldiers with him. Not to mention the two explosive girls, he should at least bring an Ogryn bodyguard. If it weren't for everyone's kindness, this kid would really have died here.

"My mentor doesn't have time to deal with the heretical sects here, so he left it to me."

This was a lie. Credien believed these heretical cults in the Lower and Lower Hives were normal, manageable, and untouchable. They were like insects on ancient Terra; unless they were eradicated at their source (meaning, by killing everyone), they would remain inextricable. Therefore, the planetary governor would periodically dispatch PDFs to maintain the city's stability. (If they rebelled, it would be the governor's dereliction of duty.)

Therefore, Credien focused his energy on investigating the heresy and corruption of the upper class. When people are well fed and clothed, they will be tempted to pursue their own desires. The damage that these nobles could cause in a rebellion would be much greater than that of the civilian scum in the lower and bottom nests.

But Allen didn't think so. He believed that all enemies of the empire must be eliminated as soon as possible. If the mentor didn't do it, he would do it. During this period, he did wipe out several heretical organizations in the lower nest. He thought it would be just as easy in the bottom nest, but he underestimated the power of these bottom nest cults.

Seeing that Allen seemed to be lost in thought, Luochen called everyone together and whispered:

"We have to find a time to send this kid away."

Brother Ou: "Luochen, what did you find?"

"This kid is a psyker."

Luochen had noticed that the psychic energy awakening in Alan's body had been awakening for some time, and he didn't know if it was triggered by his psychic head pinching.

Apu: "Isn't that strange? There aren't many psykers among the Inquisitors, are there?"

"His psychic powers haven't awakened yet, but there are signs, and they're very strong."

For a psychic with powerful qualifications, you never know whether he will blow a huge hole in the physical universe when he awakens.

Er Yu: "But there's no way to send him away now. We can't let him walk back alone, right?"

When Alan was unconscious, everyone had already walked a long way into the bottom nest. This location did not seem to have a road or elevator leading to the upper level.

The person has been saved. If we let him go to die again, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

"We can only take him with us for now. If this kid wakes up halfway, can you suppress him, Luochen?" asked Apu.

"should be no problem."

"Ok, if he really wants to explode, then we can just kill him."

Allen came back to his senses and saw everyone discussing something mysteriously. He asked:

"Where are you doing?"
