Warhammer: Opening is a Crisis of Doom

Chapter 33 New Plans for the State Church 34

"The imperial heresy was myself."

Guilliman could imagine the expression the Gray Knight, the Demon Inquisition, would have if they knew that the Primarch, who was the regent of the Empire, was going to cultivate the devil's mole.

But Guilliman couldn't do anything about it. Knowing the threat of the four gods, he knew very well that he must use all means to ensure his absolute victory.

Against those abominations, there is absolutely no way to win with legitimate means.

This is a lower limit universe.

Morality and rules are not as important as survival.

Humans know little about demons, but demons know humans well.

Coupled with psychic communication, faster-than-light navigation, these important technologies to maintain the integrity of the empire, all rely on subspace.

The information between human beings and evil gods is seriously unequal, and there will be ghosts if the empire wins.

This situation must be improved.

Guilliman wants to ensure that the wars between the human empire and the warp are equal.

Demons can enter reality and watch.

Then why can't the empire enter the subspace to carry out massacres? ?

It is not unacceptable to cultivate a few demon leaders.

Carrying heresy ideas enough to be sent to the stake by the State Church and the Devil Inquisition, Guilliman exited the secret room and used his password to enter the encrypted elevator again.

When they got out of the elevator, the honor guards were still guarding the entrance faithfully.

"My lord." Seeing Guilliman coming out, Phikris came over and saluted him. "Sicarius just sent a message. He wants to find you. He said he has the latest information."

"Let him come over to my reception room," said Guilliman. "We can deal with what happened to him there."

"Understood." Phikris nodded and walked to the other side, he was going to inform Sicarius.

"Let's go." Guilliman watched Phikris's back disappear into the corridor of the spaceship passage, and walked to another passage.

The honor guards surrounded their master and left, and several terminators stayed behind, holding bolt guns, and continued to guard the door, not allowing anyone to approach this area.

They need to make sure that no one can break into the secret place that belongs only to their lord.

After Guilliman left, the place fell into darkness and silence again.

The terminators responsible for guarding here are all veterans of the Ultramarines.

They can tolerate loneliness and silence better.

You don't need to find something to say like a recruit.

They stood there silently and coldly like sculptures, faithfully fulfilling the tasks assigned by their masters.

Guilliman's reception room is much larger and simpler than that of ordinary commanders. Apart from the projector and data crystal pillars used for intelligence, there are no other decorations, and the pursuit is simple and practical.

To be honest, he doesn't like the skull culture of the empire.

The current imperial nobles and Mechanicists like to make everything into the shape of human skulls to represent their purity as human beings.

In the long ten thousand years, with the development of the state religion and the Inquisition, the status of mutants has become lower and lower.

Those mutants can basically only serve in the army, and no world in the empire is allowed to be ruled by mutants.

Once that happens, that world will be regarded as rebellious by all parties in the empire.

When Guilliman returned to the reception room, Sicarius and Phikles had just arrived.

"My lord." Sicarius said respectfully.

"What happened?" Guilliman sat on the big chair that belonged to him, and motioned for Sicarius to find a place to sit down.

Sicarius found another chair and placed the data crystals and books on the other side.

"The missionary world-Espandor has a message. They hope that the Primarch will come to this world, so that the inhabitants of this world can feel the mercy and glory of the Emperor, or the Primarch can agree on a place where they Will go on a pilgrimage," Sicarius said.

"Preach the world??" Guilliman tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table in front of him, indicating that he was thinking.

"Yes, this world suffered some changes 1,600 years ago, and then the state religion settled in, cleaned up the heresy above, and shaped it into a missionary world in Ultramar." Sicarius explained Consider the case of Espandor.

The mission world is also called the church world, the bishop world, etc., and there are fanatical believers from various planets.

Just like the perfect city that Guilliman once burned, it is full of poems and sculptures praising the emperor, and it is a fanatical religious planet.

A lot of history from 10,000 years ago has been lost, and the current state religion should not know that Guilliman once burned the City of Faith.

Even if they knew it, they wouldn't publicize it.

If you trace that period of history, you will understand that the Emperor does not like religion.

The emperor doesn't like religion, so what is the meaning of the state religion? ?

For whatever reason, Espandor probably didn't know what Guilliman had done, otherwise they would never have dared to invite Guilliman to go.

What would Guilliman do? ?

Are you afraid of being burned again? ?

Guilliman pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at Sicarius, "Go and reply to them, I will arrive in Espandor in a few days."

"Okay, my lord, do you have any other orders?" Sicarius asked.

"No, go and reply to them." Guilliman waved his hand, signaling Sicarius to go and do what he ordered.

Sicarius exited the reception room, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

"My lord, why do you want to go in person? You can designate a world and let them come to see you." Phikris asked puzzled.

Guilliman stood up and walked to the porthole.

At this time, they are still in the subspace, and all the portholes will be closed to prevent the crew from being unable to withstand the temptation, being bewitched by the subspace, and turning into twisted monsters.

However, there is still a little light leaking from the gaps in the visor, which looks weird and unusual.

From Guilliman's memory, he learned that the Primarch had faced the subspace several times. The weird scene contained an unimaginable amount of information, which would burn people's brains out.

He was spared thanks to the mighty Primarch's body.

If it was an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.

When navigating in the subspace, there are countless ways to die, but dying by looking directly at the subspace is undoubtedly one of the most stupid ways to die.

"I need to assess the value of Espandor, Iris." Guilliman said, "The belief in the state religion has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is impossible to completely eradicate it. What's more, in this dark universe , The people of the empire also need a little faith to support them through this difficult time."

"My lord, do you have any new plans for the state religion?" Phikris asked.

"I have an immature idea, and I have to go to Espandor to confirm the details. I will find a way to control the state religion in my hands and minimize its influence on the empire." Guilliman said, "The empire The state religion has too much power, and they even have the right to accuse which wargroup or which world is disloyal, thus declaring the other party as rebellious, which is too dangerous. Religion makes people blind and irrational, and the state religion must be controlled."

Since the birth of the state religion, the stupid things done are almost innumerable.

Although saints like Celestine appeared and saved the fate of the human empire, they contributed a lot to the ignorance of the human empire.

In the thirty-second millennium, during the Beast War, the state religion encouraged believers to launch a fanatical jihad against the Orc War Moon, resulting in a large number of casualties.

In the thirty-third millennium, there was a split within the state religion. The Temple faction purged the Alliance of Light and controlled all religious activities in the empire. Human rationality gradually collapsed and entered the age of ignorance.

In the thirty-fourth millennium, the state religion formed a cathar to cleanse the twin empires-New Terra, and the empire completely became a religious state

In the thirty-sixth millennium, the new pope of the state religion, Van Dier, launched a bloody rule, during which at least one hundred human worlds were exterminated. There are not enough statues of the emperor, the welcome to the state church team is not warm enough, and the religious donations are not active enough.)

A campaign against the Space Wolves was launched because the Space Wolves stuck to their beliefs and were unwilling to convert to the state religion.

During this period, the empire entered into decline, and the accumulation of thousands of years was exhausted in the raging religious activities.

In the thirty-seventh millennium, thirty battle groups, more than 20,000 interstellar warriors were declared rebellious by the saints of the state religion, and went on an expedition to the abyss. Except for the remnants of the piercing sword battle group, they were able to return, and the other battle groups were completely destroyed. More than half were completely corrupted.

These things represent what the state religion has done, some representative events, many events are not listed in detail, but they are also extremely terrifying.

The Emperor was right, every religious organization is a cancer.

It's a pity that Guilliman didn't dare to let this cancer be broken directly, otherwise it would kill the entire empire.

He has a new plan, and he will try his best to guide this fanatical belief to the track he needs.
