A life of ups and downs, but in Warhammer 40K

After all, no matter how chaotic the Underhive is, it's still an area controlled by the planetary government. They can watch a bunch of Underhive scum go crazy and be chaotic, but they absolutely cannot allow a gang with the potential to unify the Underhive to emerge.

Moreover, the planetary governor had also received a secret report and seemed to have discovered something.

Therefore, even the Miltel family had no choice but to organize their private army and manpower to march towards the bottom nest at this time.

Meanwhile, inside the black building of the Inquisition in Gwent's Nest City, a tall Astartes walked in. This was Alpharis, the one Su Can had tricked earlier, and judging by his paint scheme, he was none other than Black Shield from Deathwatch, a special squad member of the Inquisition.

"You mean you discovered an elder in your legion, and someone who appears to be of Terran descent and participated in the unification wars?"

Upon hearing this news, the judge of Gwent's Nest City frowned slightly.

Chapter 8 If it works, use it to the fullest.

“Yes, I am quite certain. The other party is an ancient sage belonging to Alpharis, and he even knows secrets that the Primarch does not know.”

Looking at the judge before him, Alpharis spoke with great certainty.

Is he loyal?

Upon hearing this news, Judge Gels looked at the Black Shield veteran in front of him with a serious expression.

Alpharis is also a veteran, having been with Black Shield for centuries. He always completes every arduous mission flawlessly, many of which are practically guaranteed to result in certain death.

Therefore, even among these judges, this Space Marine was considered to be absolutely loyal.

"I'm not sure, but one thing is certain. If I don't intervene, the plans of those World Eaters won't succeed, because he's about to make his move. So at least he's not a heretic..."

In Warhammer 40K, being a traitor is a minor matter; defecting to the enemy is the real issue. Although many who betray the Empire but don't defect are likely to be double-crossed, the Empire's attitude towards these two situations is completely different.

Those who defect to the enemy should be chased down and beaten to death, but those who betray should be given more room to maneuver.

Alpharis's current request for the Inquisitor's help is a last resort, as the Quint Nest is simply too vast. This planet boasts hundreds of billions of inhabitants; even an Astartes like him cannot search for such a massive population.

The Black Shield veteran spoke with a strange certainty. He recalled the scene he had witnessed deep within the necropolis—the figure disguised as the World Eater who, if he hadn't acted at the crucial moment, would have surely intervened, and the ancient secrets about the Primarchs that the figure spoke of. These secrets were not fabricated by some heretic; even the Alpha Legion's internal archives did not contain such a complete account.

If the other party had truly sided with Chaos, there was absolutely no need for them to interfere with the World Eaters' operations at that time, much less to go to the trouble of explaining the true meaning of Primarch loyalty. A Chaos-converted Alpharis would communicate with you using a bomb gun and a chainsaw sword, not with a truth that keeps you up at night.

“I will keep an eye on it. What I need to watch out for now are those heretics.”

Inquisitor Gels's brow twitched. The situation in Gwent's Nest was now in turmoil. Various heretics and aliens were lurking on this core planet of the human sector, all vying for power, and the Imperium's military strength was stretched thin.

He couldn't even coordinate a single Astartes company, so even as the Inquisitor in charge of the Xenomorphs, he was still facing the threat of Chaos. The only Astartes he could muster was a small squad that had accompanied him on his Black Ships; if they weren't heretics, the situation wouldn't be so urgent.

However, he also had to pay attention. He knew all too well what a ten-thousand-year-old canned food person meant. This was someone whose words carried weight even in Holy Terra. Even though the other person's birth belonged to one of the nine traitorous legions, it wasn't a big deal.

"The heretics of the Upper Nest are fighting with the scum of the Lower Nest. Their two factions have always been in conflict. It's fine this way, but I still need to find more heretics or aliens."

Satisfied with the intelligence he had compiled, Inquisitor Gers trusted no one, especially not the planet's local nobles. Therefore, he needed the help of the Inquisition and law enforcement. He also needed to contact the local Sisters of Battle; only in this way could he wage a special war.

"Let's send people to search for that Astartes first, but if it's Alphareth, it won't be so easy to find. It could be anyone."

Looking at the parchment in his hand, Gels, though not holding much hope of finding Alpharis, still gave the order. His forces were stretched thin; anything not involving Chaos Astartes could be put on hold.

"We are really short-handed. It seems we will have to borrow some people from the planetary governor."

........

Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Can's brow twitched involuntarily.

"Huh, I've gotten stronger again..."

Feeling the improvement in his basic physical attributes, Su Can said with some surprise.

"Right now I'm just a very low-level traveler on the path of destiny. If I want to go far enough, I need to do something big. But if I do something too big, it might attract some dirty things."

Su Can now knows that he is still a nobody in this world, and that nothing has noticed him yet.

But if he makes too much noise and attracts the attention of the five evil gods of the subspace, then he'll be in for a headache.

"If you want to go further in your life, you need to create a fictional history or character that everyone will remember forever without any flaws or being discovered. And it can't be something as trivial as what we have now, so you need an opportunity, and you don't know when that opportunity will come."

Looking at his panel, Su Can fell into thought. He didn't have that many resources at hand.

The Mysterious Path is one of the more difficult paths to advance in, unlike the simpler and more direct paths like Guardian and Hunting.

"I don't know when I will unlock my second destiny, nor do I know what my second destiny is."

Looking at the dimmed Seed of Destiny in his hand, Su Can felt helpless. He didn't know how to unlock it. Was it like the protagonist of Collapse Iron, whose actions at a certain moment met the standard of destiny and thus embarked on a new destiny?

Of course, he couldn't gain the Star God's favor, since this wasn't the Collapse Iron Universe and there was no Star God in the Collapse Iron sense.

Tap tap tap...

Just as Su Can was struggling with her decision, there was another knock on her door.

"Another mission has come. I'm destined to be a workaholic. Should I give up this identity? But no, this position is neither high nor low, and the original owner just died. Such a good position is rare."

Hearing the sound of his front door slamming shut, Su Can grew somewhat impatient. He knew the mission he'd just completed was extremely dangerous, and the people above him were truly ruthless.

Sending an ordinary person like myself to search the hideout of a bunch of cultists all by myself—if they hadn't offered so much, I probably would have run away.

Despite grumbling and cursing, Su Can still opened his door.

"Wales, you have done a good job with your previous mission. Now the great sector governor and our lord have a new mission."

"Ok."

Hearing this, Su Can nodded helplessly, and then followed the middle-aged man through an elegant garden to its core location.

Then Su Can's pupils couldn't help but contract slightly, because there were two people standing in front of him.

One looked incredibly bulky, but his eyes gleamed with a chilling light; the other looked to be in his thirties, tall and capable, but was dressed in a uniform designed to resemble the Rose Festival.

These two men were none other than the sector governor and the local judge of this sector.

"I'll do it..."

Upon seeing these two people, Su Can couldn't help but curse inwardly.

“I’ve reviewed your resume, and you’ve performed every task flawlessly. I need manpower now, so you’ll be working for the court for the time being.”

Upon seeing Su Can approaching, Judge Gers spoke in an unyielding tone.

"If it works so well, use it to the fullest! You're truly worthy of yours, Dai Ying!!!"

Looking at the judge in front of him, Su Can cursed inwardly.

Chapter 9 Bomb Girl

Don't be fooled by how easily Su Can completed the mission; it's only because his stats are high enough. Some missions are inherently dangerous if you send Astartes.

But sending ordinary people would be a near-certain death mission, while sending someone alone to the bottom of the nest to investigate a Khorne cult would be extremely risky.

Aren't you afraid people will just throw the pots and pans? They're back again after only a few days. Besides, working for the court is definitely more dangerous. If they're so useful, then use them to the fullest.

But then again, the stronger the wind, the more expensive the fish. Being able to influence more people means you can go further in life.

Of course, Su Can's expression didn't change at all, and he was prepared to deal with these methods of searching his memories.

Su Can fabricated a complete set of memories for himself, otherwise he would be protected by a mysterious destiny. Even the emperor himself could not see his memories.

Therefore, in order to avoid being noticed, Su Can constructed a rough memory in his mind, and there would be no problem as long as it was not an interrogation.

If they try to interrogate him by force, then don't blame Su Can for breaking through the courtroom and escaping all by himself. It would be difficult for him to kill a judge single-handedly, but escaping from the courtroom wouldn't be a problem for him.

After all, Kayan was even able to escape from Holy Terra, and the prisons in Warhammer are comparable to those in the Land of Light.

"Yes."

Su Can responded to the judge's evaluation with neither arrogance nor servility.

Indeed, every task was completed perfectly, because the only result of failing a task is death!

And those tasks...

Through the replay of his destiny, Su Can even saw, speechlessly, a record of killing a cunning clan leader. It's important to know that some cunning clan leaders possess combat power comparable to some battle group champions, and even more terrifying than the cunning clan leader are the countless cunning thieves surrounding him.

Anyway, assassinating Astartes could easily backfire if he wasn't careful. It's only because Su Can is strong enough that he can't handle this identity.

So this thing is just like those wingsuits that get zero negative reviews—failure means death. Of course, the treatment they offer isn't bad either; in any case, Su Can's standard of living is much better than that of many nobles in Shangchao.

To outsiders, this identity was that of a taciturn yet flawless tool, one that never faltered. When Judge Gels reviewed the files, he saw a series of blood-red "completed" marks, like a straight line of blood running through three years of mission records. Any one of these marks alone would be enough to award a medal to an ordinary person or be engraved on a tombstone, and the fact that Wales was still alive was enough to speak volumes.

"........"

After seeing Su Can's actions, Judge Gels also glanced at him again. Ordinary people, let alone seeing him as a judge, would be terrified even by the sight of some of his interrogators.

As expected of an elite member of the Star Sector Governor's family, they handle things with composure. They've even faced chaos head-on, but it seems they're not in any major trouble.

Although the Inquisition is obsessed, it doesn't eliminate everyone it encounters who has been exposed to the corruption of Chaos. Otherwise, they would have wiped out the entire IG.

Especially for those in top-tier families, it's a different story. Unless they clearly show signs of chaos and corruption, any action they take needs to be carefully considered.

"The next mission is twofold: first, to investigate the Genestealer tribe located between the Lower Nest and the Lower Nest, guide them to launch an attack against the heretics and deplete their manpower; second, to travel to another cult in the Lower Nest that seeks eternal life."

"Um........"

Hearing this, Su Can did not refuse, but looked at the information in his hand and began to think. Now all that was missing was Tzeentch.

"Are they really short-staffed? Aren't there any PDF enforcement officers?"

Upon hearing this, Su Can frowned. Although he had heard about the richness of species in the Kunte Exorcism, he was still quite shocked.

"The heretics are making a huge show of force this time, and the local sector's military strength is insufficient. We must mobilize all available forces, so this task is entrusted to you."

"Forehead......"

Hearing this, Su Can couldn't help but scratch his head; these tasks were truly a headache.

"Oh, and there's one more person who will assist you. She is Sister Elena, a local Black Rose Battle Sister."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Su Can's lips curled into a slight pause, followed by Judge Gels's words. A battle nun clad in armor and wearing a helmet approached and bowed to the group.

Are you kidding me?

At this moment, Su Can didn't care about anything else and grabbed the judge.

Taking these crazy, explosive girls with you to the cunning tribe, or even to the core of the Nurgle cult... Are you sure they can control you? And having a burden like that would restrict your actions.

"........"

Upon seeing Su Can's expression, Gers's eye twitched slightly.

He clearly knew how abstract this decision was, but having a battle nun by his side would be a good way to resist corruption. He wasn't entirely at ease with Su Can either, so he had to have someone keep an eye on her.

"This is for your own good..."

So even though he knew his request was a bit excessive, he still gave the order.

"You need to pay more!!!"

Hearing this, Su Can was too lazy to say anything more. At worst, he could just knock her out with a big sinus and go carry out the mission alone.

"If you can complete the task, I can apply for you to become an attendant in the court. This position is much higher than what you have here. If you don't want it, this position can be yours in the future."

The judge then produced a property certificate for a small villa with a garden in Dingchao. Its value was incredibly high, and it wasn't something money could buy.

"make a deal."

Although he didn't care about money, Su Can agreed in order to maintain his public image. However, this action caused the battle nun next to him to tilt her head, but because she was wearing a helmet, her expression couldn't be seen.

"Then let's get moving, and you need to control yourself when the time comes."

"yes........"

Hearing the judge's words, Elena replied somewhat reluctantly. She then unconsciously rubbed the explosive pistol in her hand, seemingly planning an attack at any moment.

"Come with me without further ado. I'll contact my informant and have them provide me with some intelligence. Next, we'll head to the tribe of the cunning, um, gene-stealers."

Hearing this, Su Can didn't refuse, but took the mission report and left. Of course, before leaving, he went to the armory to replenish his equipment. This included a talisman with a defensive force field, although its use to him was limited.

However, considering he had a crazy woman by his side, Su Can decided it was best to tone it down a bit. Otherwise, he might provoke her too much and cause her to instantly become a living saint.

Chapter 10 I have never seen such a shameless person!

The crevices between the lower nest and the bottom nest of the Gwent hive city are also the most filthy and corrupt places in the entire hive city.

Compared to the bottom nest, this place might not be as good as the bottom nest.

However, compared to the gene stealers he was about to meet, Su Can was actually a little terrified.

It's not that he's afraid of these things; the cunning gene contamination is essentially a kind of subspace psionic ruthlessness.

Once those corrupted cunning individuals become Astartes, the subspace resistance provided by their gene seeds allows them to directly tear through this veil.

But with a grumpy, explosive girl by his side, Su Can really didn't want to come with this thing. This crevice was perpetually shrouded in a dim, yellowish light, somewhere between twilight and eternal night. It was from leaking lighting pipes in several abandoned industrial areas kilometers above, flickering intermittently and cutting the space into mottled fragments of light and shadow. The air was thick with metallic dust and a cloying, rotten smell. Puddles of varying depths dotted the ground, their surfaces shimmering with the iridescent sheen of oil. In the distance, the muffled thuds of falling metal echoed—the waste pipes above were dumping garbage. Each dump was accompanied by a gust of hot air, mixed with debris, a stark reminder that everything here lived beneath the drainpipes of the enormous steel world above.
