Chapter 1804 The Forgotten World (In the Rise of the Ronin)

Duanmu Huai was already surprised to find that there was a human world in the Eye of Terror. However, when he learned about the situation inside, he was even more surprised—it was a complete church world.

Even for the people on that planet, their biggest problem right now is not the attack from demons, but the riot from within.

As for why the Unified God Realm chose to save this world, according to Isista, she saw through the power of prophecy that there was a volcano below the residents here that was about to erupt, and once it erupted, it would completely destroy their small world. Therefore, she hoped that the Tribunal could send someone to escort them away from the local area and live in a new gathering place.

This was not a battle against the Demon King, so the Inquisition initially only sent out a reconnaissance team. If the Night Guards had not set up the Inquisition's anchor point as planned and made it appear in Duanmu Huai's star map, this would indeed be insignificant.

But the situation is different now.

Standing on the ground, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes, staring at everything around him vigilantly and carefully. He naturally did not dare to go into the Eye of Fear in person. After all, with Duanmu Huai's size as a true god, if he entered the Eye of Fear, the four vendors entrenched in it would definitely give him a warm welcome.

In the real world, Duanmu Huai could still fight with them, but in the subspace... Duanmu Huai felt that a strong dragon could not defeat a local snake, and he had no way of competing with these things who had been rolling around in this big garbage dump since birth.

Of course, if you only look at the scenery in front of you, no one would have thought that this would be a huge garbage dump.

The land was barren, and the purple-red starry sky flickered overhead. This was the scene Duanmu Huai saw when he walked out of the portal. He still chose to use his clone to investigate, instead of foolishly opening the final battlefield. Duanmu Huai was still wearing the same clothes as when he was in Kurokawa Akane's world before, a jet-black power armor with a double-headed eagle logo, and a chainsaw sword on his back. The closed helmet coldly isolated all external influences. In the subspace, the fantasy of hundreds of thousands of people once again turned into real armor, wrapped around Duanmu Huai's body.

Duanmu Huai walked up the hillside. On the other side was a blood-red ocean. This was the Eye of Terror, a place where reality was distorted. The laws that had once been laws in the real world had all lost their meaning here. It should have been like this, but even so, Duanmu Huai could still feel that there seemed to be some kind of order here. They were like a thin barrier that curbed the erosion of the subspace on this planet.

Is it Blackrock Spire? But it doesn't feel like it. The Necrons' technology is used to fix reality, but right now Duanmu Huai feels that this is more like a seal.

Duanmu Huai withdrew his gaze and looked at the Dark Night Guard standing in front of him.

"Report the situation."

"Yes, my lord."

One of the Night Guards quickly spoke up.

"We arrived in this world three hours ago and set an anchor point. We then started searching from this point, and about twenty minutes later, we found a city of inhabitants in the northeast. We talked to them, and they said they wanted to find a safer place, but not here. The dangers along the way made it difficult for them to trek... At this point, the chances of these people surviving are not very high."

"Did you find any threats?"

"No threats have been identified at this time."

"…………………"

Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, then looked at the Dark Night Guard.

"Stay where you are and guard the portal."

"Yes."

To be on the safe side, when Duanmu Huai sent his clone over, he had already mobilized hundreds of Night Guards from the Unified Divine Realm to completely block the portal leading to this world. No one except him was allowed to pass through.

Duanmu Huai continued forward and found the human settlement as the Night Guard had said. To Duanmu Huai's surprise, the situation here was much better than he had imagined. Although the whole city looked a little shabby, it was still intact. The churches and spires erected in the city seemed to still verify the city's past glory, and everything looked in good order.

This made Duanmu Huai feel like his hair was about to stand up. He narrowed his eyes and tightened the hilt of the chainsaw sword. You know, in a world that distorts reality and subverts any normal concept, a normal world itself is abnormal.

However, when Duanmu Huai touched the hot-melt bomb on his waist, he felt much more relieved.

What could possibly happen? At worst, a bomb would solve all my worries.

When Duanmu Huai walked to the city gate, he saw two soldiers in PDF uniforms. They were holding standard imperial weapons and behaved like genuine imperial soldiers.

I have to say, this is really weird for Duanmu Huai.

Seeing Duanmu Huai appear, the soldiers also became nervous and stared at him. However, Duanmu Huai ignored their gazes and walked straight in front of them.

"I am Duanmu Huai, the chief judge of the Tribunal. I want your person in charge to come out to greet me within ten minutes."

"Yes, sir...we will report it immediately."

The guards looked at the armor on Duanmu Huai with fear and trepidation, and quickly saluted him. It was obvious that they knew what the Tribunal was and what the Inquisitor was. This made Duanmu Huai feel somewhat relieved. After all, it had been so long since he came here, and it was rare for him to meet people who would correct their attitudes after hearing about the Tribunal. For most people, it was "Tribunal, what the hell is that?"

Then Duanmu Huai would have to use blood and death to tell them what the Inquisition really is.

This is the attitude that others should have when facing the Tribunal.

Duanmu Huai waited for five minutes, and saw an armored vehicle speeding over. Then a bald fat man dressed like a noble got out of the car panting. He might be wearing his original military uniform, but judging from the almost broken buttons and the badges hanging on his chest, this once brave and warlike imperial official has now turned into a fat pig.

"Ah, welcome to our place, Your Excellency the Inquisitor."

The fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead and then saluted Duanmu Huai in a funny way.

"I'm Checker, the current governor here."

"temporary?"

Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"What about the former Governor?"

"Dead. He suffered too much and finally chose to dedicate his soul to the Emperor. May his tortured soul rest in peace."

The interim governor took a breath, as if just saying this sentence took a lot of his energy.

"It is an honor to meet you, Your Excellency the Inquisitor. We all know that the Empire will never abandon its people."

"…………………"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's mouth twitched slightly.

"Let's go. On the way, I want to know everything about your situation."

"Yes, Your Honor, please follow me."

On the way to the Governor's Mansion in an armored vehicle, Duanmu Huai listened to the Governor's description of the situation here. To Duanmu Huai's surprise, they did not know that they were in the Eye of Terror. According to the current Governor, they were just an ordinary colony planet of the Empire, and he could not explain what they were responsible for.

In short, according to the governor, they woke up one day and suddenly found that the communication with the empire was cut off. At first, they thought it might be some kind of subspace interference. But gradually they found that on the tax payment day, the imperial tax collector did not come, which surprised them.

After all, the empire will never give up paying taxes at any time.

Although everyone knew that the situation was a bit strange, no one knew exactly what was going on. The planet itself had no armed forces and no warships. So they could only live like this day by day. In the blink of an eye, nearly fifty years had passed. Although this strange celestial phenomenon was a bit weird, everyone gradually got used to life here.

At least in this city, self-sufficiency is not a problem.

Along the way, the fat governor boasted to Duanmu Huai about how he still maintained a passionate heart that believed in the emperor even though he had lost contact with the empire. And after taking over the position of the previous governor, he calmed down the disputes and united everyone to overcome the difficulties.

Obviously, he really seemed to regard Duanmu Huai as an inquisitor sent by the Empire to investigate the colonies on this planet. Therefore, he hoped that Duanmu Huai would say a few good words for him in front of the Emperor, and not only that……………

This is really troublesome.

Duanmu Huai secretly calculated that this planet was swallowed by the Eye of Terror in the 40K period. However, for the people here, they did not know that dozens of thousands of years had passed outside. Okay, although time chaos is also normal in the subspace, why was this planet the only one that survived?

Could it be that for so many years, the demons in the Eye of Terror and the Chaos Legion have always turned a blind eye to this planet? How is this possible? Of course, in theory, the subspace is infinite, and distance, time, and any real data have no effect here. And there is a one in a billion chance that this planet is very likely stuck in the gap between the subspace and reality, so it can survive.

This possibility does exist. It's like a person jumping from a hundred-story building but landing safely without any injury. Theoretically, even if there is a 99.99% chance that he will die, there is no certainty of the 0.01% chance that he will survive safely.

But is this possible?

Are they lucky? Or...

Listening to the boasting of the fat governor in front of him, Duanmu Huai's eyes became more solemn.

The situation seems to be even stranger than I imagined.
