From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

The emperor statue is fifteen meters tall and is also painted gold.

All the details of his exclusive power armor, the Emperor's Claw and the Emperor's Sword were presented by the Terminators who acted as sculptors and Hextech robots, but the head of the Emperor statue wears a golden helmet that conceals his face.

"Oh my god! Brother, is that the legendary human emperor? So tall!"

Even though she had never seen the emperor's face, Carrie was still extremely excited after seeing the tall and magnificent statue.

After all, during the period of church rule, they had no time to wander the streets, let alone visit the church.

At that time, only high-ranking believers or knights of the Order were qualified to enter the church to worship and adore the statue of Jesus Christ and the exquisite murals.

How could children like these who couldn't even get enough to eat have the chance to come to church?

However, after the human empire ruled their towns, it directly abolished the privileged class and allowed them to afford meat for every meal.

As for the Imperial Church, everyone can enter.

"."

now.

Hearing his sister's sigh, Kronto, as her brother, nodded slightly.

He was more mature than his peers and his sister, and knew that the emperor's statue must have been artistically processed.

Logically, it is impossible for a true emperor to be fifteen meters tall.

But he had briefly read the "Code of Humanity" and knew that the so-called "Imperial Angels", that is, the Astartes whose average height was more than two meters and three meters, were the descendants of the Human Emperor.

Then a true emperor would not be that short.

Inside the church, in addition to the imperial statue standing at the forefront, there are also exquisite portraits printed on the walls.

However, the content of the imperial murals does not promote the great deeds of God, heaven, and Jesus like the church does. Instead, it is a "simple and unpretentious" record of the history of the empire.

For example, how the Emperor, in his "mortal" stage, fought his way through the wilderness, founded Atlas, and opened the first space gate connecting to other universes.

Then, there were Sanguinius and Guilliman who "fell from the sky" in the Emperor's arms.

In addition, there are solid wooden benches on both sides of the church for people who come to watch to rest.

The Imperial Church does not make any specific demands, nor does it allow local residents to attend worship services.

but--

Boom. Boom

At this time, the hard light screen not far in front of the emperor's statue was playing extremely intense battle images.

The picture shows the colossal Athena throwing the spear of victory with all her might.

The bloody city wall that was pierced by the spear of victory was suddenly covered by golden light.

Then, the adult Astartes of the Dark Angels' 1st Company, a total of eight hundred Greek demi-gods and Grey Knights, led the seemingly endless Imperial army and charged in the direction of the explosion of light.

Obviously, the content played on the hard-light screen was a single-soldier video of Athena's conquest of Jerusalem not long ago.

Furthermore, these individual soldier videos were integrated and edited by Serin and the stupid AI of the Dark Angels 1st Company, forming an action and war blockbuster that was no less than those shot by Atlas Entertainment.

"Ouch!"

"Oh my god"

“It turns out she is really a goddess.”

The local residents sitting on the wooden benches all watched the war images with their eyes wide open and intently.

Before the human empire interfered with the "One Three" universe, did the local residents ever have any entertainment life?

Even in the human hinterland, far away from frontiers and wars, there are very few entertainment options for the rich and powerful to enjoy.

So when faced with the single-soldier videography that resembled an action and war blockbuster, the local residents naturally watched it intently.

Even the siblings Krontor and Carrie became part of the audience.

Through the individual camera footage in front of them, the vast majority of residents have a greater recognition and admiration for the empire and the emperor.

Athena, who can increase her own size to a giant of 200 meters and can single-handedly destroy the army of hell, is "willing" to serve the Empire and the Emperor.

In addition, the empire had brought about tremendous changes in their lives in just one month, so they naturally had a stronger sense of identity, and began to resist the church, which had once only used words such as "suffering is a blessing" and "for the sake of going to heaven" to coax and criticize them.

Besides, doesn’t the church say that God will eventually save everyone?

Why was it the Human Empire that gave them new life?

There are also hell and demons that have been ravaging their world for nearly a thousand years. When faced with the army of the Human Empire, they have no ability to resist at all.

The so-called supreme and only "true God" is obviously a coward hiding in heaven.

Because they do not believe in and respect "you", they must endure torture and blame. This is simply a "thing" that makes them submissive to the enemy and violent against their own side.

Compared with Athena, she is not even worthy of being called a shoe carrier.

Therefore, most of the residents in the church, including Krontor and Carrie, were watching the individual camera footage with great interest to learn about the "Battle of Jerusalem" that had broken out not long ago.

But a very small number of "residents", although they also showed surprised expressions and focused on watching the individual soldier's camera, their eyes revealed resentment.

The Inquisition personnel who were standing in the corner of the church and were responsible for maintaining order had actually already noticed the very small group of "residents".

Since this frontier town came under the rule of the empire and its infrastructure was gradually completed, the town began to open to the outside world.

Ordinary residents within the territory of the Holy Roman Empire could enter and leave towns freely.

You can come here to watch and seek the truth about the recent war, or you can come here to trade.

But after hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Holy Roman Empire retreated to the heart of Europe, the Roman Empire and the church's top leaders strictly prohibited residents from going to frontier towns occupied by the Human Empire without permission.

However, there are still many residents who have heard that the border towns are like "paradise on earth", and they come to seek refuge in the Human Empire, either with their families or alone.

Therefore, at this stage, the population in towns is constantly increasing and the available labor force is also growing.

However, among the newcomers, there are many guys with their own goals.

For example, fanatical believers and nuns who are loyal to the church.

The moment they entered the town, they were targeted by the Investigation Department, the Advance Team, and the Inquisition.

However, in order to uncover the "evidence" of heaven's interference in the physical universe and find a way to the heavenly plane, the various departments did not directly eliminate these believers and nuns.

At the same time, they are still tracking and investigating these guys who think they have no signs of being exposed.

Until today.

More than half of the fanatical believers and nuns gathered in the Imperial Church in the center of the town.

Therefore, the Inquisition specially invited two company guards to allow the residents of the town to come and worship. While satisfying the residents' curiosity, it could also appropriately enhance the overall strength of encircling and suppressing fanatical believers and nuns.

Of course, the most important point is that the Inquisition must strike the right balance.

Let those guys who have fanatical beliefs in God and heaven expose themselves voluntarily, while also ensuring the safety of the residents' lives.

soon.

The image presented on the hard light screen showed the imperial army led by Athena attacking Jerusalem.

The Gate of Hell, which should have been filthy, was purified to a considerable extent under the impact of the psychic energy released by Athena.

Then, Athena led the Greek minor gods and the Gray Knights directly through the gates of Hell and disappeared into the physical universe.

After watching this, Kronto, Carrie and everyone present thought that the image content played on the hard light screen would end here, but they never expected that the screen would only fall into darkness for a short time, and then presented them with a clear picture of the dark forest.

!!!

Seeing the dark forest and Charon carrying the souls of the dead across the river on the screen, everyone present was extremely surprised.

Before the border town came under the rule of the human empire, both the young children Krontor and Carrie and the adult local residents were familiar with the Bible compiled by the church, and some residents could even recite it backwards.

So, everyone realized instantly that the scene presented on the hard light screen was the legendary dark forest.

Even though the local residents are uneducated and have never received a proper education, they all understand that only the Paladins can withstand the high temperature and erosion of the Hell's Gate and go to the Hell plane to carry out the sacred mission.

Athena, the Grey Knights, and the Greek minor gods also entered the Hell Plane in a very real way with their "living bodies".

Athena just rushed all the way.

The goddess first casually waved the Spear of Victory in her hand, and then easily killed the greedy she-wolf, the ambitious lion and the hedonistic leopard who had just been "reborn".

These three "native" creatures of Hell were slain by the Company Guards led by Galan Clovis, and then completely destroyed by Athena, and turned into [trace nutrients] that fueled the Emperor's psychic energy.

After all, the Spear of Victory used by Athena was a weapon that was "reforged" by the emperor himself.

The pure psychic energy contained in the Spear of Victory has a "special attack" effect on the Warp and Warp-like creatures.

Followed by.

Athena and her companions also used "threats" to force Charon to carry them across the River Sorrow and arrive at the first layer of hell, the Soul Remains.

Of course, before boarding the ship, Athena temporarily removed her colossal body and crossed the river in her original goddess form along with the Grey Knights and the Greek minor gods.

"Is it still possible to do this?"

"In the legend, isn't Charon supposed to have a hot temper?"

"She is the goddess of war. If Charon gets really angry, he will definitely be stabbed to death by the goddess."

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the ferryman of hell is also afraid of death."

Seeing Charon's cowardly behavior, the local residents' fear of so-called gods and demons suddenly decreased a lot.

Even Charon is afraid of death. So what’s the difference between him and me who is also afraid of death?

Afterwards, everyone witnessed the scene of the first level, Lingbo, through individual cameras.

As Athena once again became a colossus, she maintained her giant physique and led the Greek gods and the Grey Knights to advance towards the abyss in the center of the spirit mortar.

The residents present gradually discovered that most of the souls trapped in the Lingbao were seemingly "honest" souls who had not committed any major mistakes during their lifetime.

At this point, the residents also came to their senses. If there had been no interference from the Human Empire, wouldn't they also have been sent to the spirit realm after their death?

Keep watching.

What is presented in the picture is that Athena relies on the Spear of Victory and the Emperor's pistol to completely crush the lords and demon armies of all levels in hell.

Those lords of hell who were described by the church as having unrivaled strength and being extremely sinful, actually showed signs of being even more afraid of death than humans when they fought against Athena.

They either kneel down and beg for mercy, or swear allegiance, and those who want to "turn from darkness to light" fight for the Emperor of Mankind.

It's a pity that Athena looked down on those hell lords. She didn't hesitate at all and killed them directly with one spear and one gun.

The last scene of the individual soldier's video was where Galan Clovis, the company champion, and the company guards successfully killed Satan with their "mortal bodies".

The scene where Galan obtained the Emperor's "bow" and "ravaged" Satan with absolute strength was also played through the hard light screen.

At this point, the local residents sitting in the church seemed to have completely lost their awe of the gods and demons described by the church, but they were more loyal and respectful to Athena and the Emperor of Mankind.

The Emperor and the Goddess, unlike God and Heaven, who can only talk but not do things, actually bring down “miracles”.

Besides, the plane of hell has been destroyed by Goddess Athena and the "Emperor Angels (Astartes)", so what do they have to be afraid of?

Just accept the rule of the empire and enjoy the gradually improving life.

On the contrary, the fanatical believers and nuns who were extremely devout to God and heaven revealed endless resentment in their eyes after patiently watching the video for nearly two hours.

Because the individual strength displayed by Athena far exceeded their previous speculation, it also confirmed that the Hell Plane had been destroyed by the Human Empire.

The enemy is powerful, so these fanatical believers naturally feel angry and helpless.

After watching all the images, these fanatical believers got up and left, taking the free paper copy of "Human Code", blending into the crowd of local residents and leaving the Imperial Church.

However, an advance team member wearing a nano combat suit and maintaining a hidden state discovered that a fanatical nun with cold sweat on her forehead was sitting in a daze on a solid wood bench, her eyes fixed on the hard light screen.

The advance team members who noticed the abnormality immediately notified the staff in the church and prepared to evacuate the local residents.

At the same time, the advance team also informed the combat units deployed inside and outside the church in advance of this abnormal situation.

"."

But before the staff could complete the evacuation, the fanatical nun began to twitch all over, her eyeballs rolled up, and her body expanded rapidly and uncontrollably. In just a few seconds, her appearance was completely unrecognizable.

The clothes were torn apart by the bloody, sticky tissue, and the nun had turned into a huge living tumor.

! !

Seeing this, Krontor quickly grabbed his sister Carrie's right hand and ran to the square outside the Imperial Church.
