Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 531 Grand Inquisitor: From now on, Holy Terra has only one sun!
On the streets of the City of Wishes.

"Commander, in the name of the Primarch of Hope, the 13th Infantry Company of the Villetalis Storm will destroy all possible acts of treason!"

Chief Master Chief Holmes responded to his superior's orders, and then led the Solar Auxiliary Company forward in silence. The Redemption individual combat armor and emblem shone brightly in the sunlight.

They will cooperate with security forces to deal with bloody clashes on the streets.

Or, it could be a small war.

The power struggles in the throne world are complicated and intricate. There are too many ambitious people calling the shots here, and every change of power will lead to countless bloody incidents.

The lessons of history are still fresh in our minds.

The two most recent ones were the "Primarch Disaster" caused by the return of the Imperial Regent, which triggered a series of tragedies caused by Chaos cults, aliens, and mutants.

Whole blocks of buildings were burned down, blood flowed in the streets, and billions of people died.

There was also the turmoil known as the "Terra Spring" caused by the changes of the Primarch of Hope.

That being swept away a large number of heretics, rebels and disloyal people lurking in the throne world in one fell swoop, although his actions were careful and restrained.

But hundreds of millions of innocent lives were lost.

Today, after the reforms and cleansing by the Primarch of Hope, the Savior, Throne World is much cleaner than before, and the annual bloody and chaotic incidents have been greatly reduced.

Too many Space Marines, Inquisitors, Solar Auxilia and law enforcement forces are silently dealing with heretical corruption incidents in secret.

Eliminate as much of the Chaos Gods' influence on Throneworld as possible.

But no one dared to take it lightly, especially at a moment like this. No one wanted the coronation ceremony of the Primarch Savior to be tainted by blood and attacks.

After hearing the noise from the street, the Sun Auxiliary Army drew out their plastic batons in unison.

They are always ready to swing sticks at rebels and beat their rebellious intentions into nothingness.

"Why do these guys oppose the Primarch of Hope, the Lord Savior?"

The strong sunlight at noon caused Holmes to squint slightly and subconsciously look at the sun in the sky.

More than ten years ago, they could not see the sun.

When the savior arrived, the sun appeared in the sky again and the sunlight once again covered the land of Holy Terra.

According to the research of a certain historian, the last time Holy Terra was covered by sunlight was before the Dark Technology Age.

Today, the Terran Environmental Preservation Decree issued by the Primarch of Hope has been implemented, and thousands of weather satellites and climate control consoles are hidden in low Earth orbit in the atmosphere.

More environmental repair modules were installed.

These mechanical facilities saved the environment of Holy Terra, making the sky blue and the climate warm and comfortable all year round.

Lush boulevards, well-irrigated gardens, and more urban beauty appeared in the major hive cities.

The once miserable and dilapidated throne world has gradually become a harmonious and pleasant harbor.

Holmes couldn't understand the thinking of those opponents, as the savior had brought change to everyone.

That being restored the glory of the Solar Auxilia, banished hardship, disease, and hunger, and ensured that the inhabitants of Terra no longer starved to death in the streets.

Even the once huge Terra Corpse Recycling Association gradually changed its job content and became a sanitation department.

Aren’t those people satisfied yet? !
"Perhaps, the Grand Inquisitor's cleansing of Holy Terra is not enough, and there are still remnants of heresy hiding there."

In the end, Holmes came up with this answer.

The sergeant then led the Solar Auxiliary Army into the chaotic crowd, swinging clubs at the heretic rebels who launched the attack, making them flee in panic.

In fact, Holmes' judgment was correct.

After the Terran Spring, the Primarch of Hope, Saviour, who had gained power, authorized Grand Inquisitor Deville to conduct a thorough cleansing of the Throneworlds.

But there are too many people here, in the trillions.

The combined living area of ​​all hive cities is equivalent to the living area of ​​a star zone in other regions, and they are extremely complex.

Buildings, underground tunnels, and pipelines left over from countless eras hide so many people and organizations that even the Ministry of the Interior cannot keep track of them all.

It is simply the dark world outside the imperial regime.

Grand Inquisitor Deville organized a cleanup force of hundreds of millions of people, cooperating with the computing power of the Mechanical Goddess to carry out the cleanup activities. At the same time, the Ministry of the Interior cooperated to recalculate the resident population.

But progress is unusually slow.

During the cleanup operations, the relevant forces found a large number of strange and unknown populations in some dark corners of the throne world.

Even a primitive tribe was found at the bottom of a hive city.

They lived there before the Dark Technology Age, with almost no trace of technology, and survived by hunting mutant creatures and collecting algae.

What's even more ironic is.

The living area of ​​the primitive tribe retains a small area of ​​residual groundwater, which nurtures a lot of life.

Make their lives better than those of the Terra residents outside in the 40K era before the Savior's Revolution.

At least these primitive people had a relatively safe environment, fresh food and water.

Life expectancy is also higher.

In view of the governance philosophy of the Primarch of Hope, the Savior, the cleanup team did not immediately destroy the living environment of the primitive people, but provided some assistance while protecting them.

But the Empire's state religion heard the news and sent a large number of priests to preach to those primitive people.

Trying to make them understand and worship the Emperor.

The Imperial Church considers that to be an important deed of faith.

After all, the primitive people on Holy Terra are rare and have special significance. If they can be bathed in great faith, it will better reflect the glory of the Emperor.

Before long, those primitive people were exposed to the technology and life of the empire under the guidance and special investment of the state religion "God Loves the World" sect.

They had delicious bread, meat, and pure water, and could use the psychic network.

The only trouble is that, after those primitive people came into contact with the Internet, they became addicted to browsing some pictures on the Internet.

Most of them are cool handsome men and beautiful women.

This triggered criticism of the "God So Loves the World" sect within the state religion. The relevant bishops believed that it was not the fault of the primitive people, but that the sect had given wrong guidance.

Afterwards, the "God So Loves the World" sect retreated in disgrace under the criticism, and was taken over by another sect to cultivate and consolidate the tribe's faith.

This incident also sparked a debate between the Ecclesiarchy and the Urs Mechanicus.

They believe that the pictures on some forum platforms of the Ers Mechanicus and the Savior Territory contain joyful elements, which require more thorough maintenance and banning by the Mechanicus.

In particular, the conceptual element called the second dimension has seriously poisoned the people of the empire and affected the empire's morals, and should be banned immediately.

But the Urs Mechanicus argued its case and made no concessions.

According to them, all the data on the psychic network has been screened by the Mechanical Goddess, so there can't be any problems.

The State Church's accusation was blasphemy against the Mechanical Goddess.

The Urs Mechanicus is even more determined to protect the second dimension, which has to some extent become the belief and interest of a large number of young mechanics.

They could not accept the abolition of this element of the concept, especially since it was related to the Mechanical Goddess.

The quarrel between the two sides became more and more intense.

In anger, the Urs Mechanicus unleashed a large amount of the dirty deeds of the Ecclesiarchs onto the psychic network, especially those related to pleasure.

It's simply disgusting.

This caused a shock within the Ecclesiarchy, just when the Ecclesiarchy had dealt with some unclean incidents within the church and was preparing to counterattack against the Urs Mechanicus.

The Mechanicus of Urs has released a large amount of content data, many of which are in the hope that the Primarch Savior will like and comment on two-dimensional related pictures.

Those contents fully demonstrated that the savior also likes to watch these pictures of two-dimensional elements, and leaves messages to reward and urge the relevant creators of the oil man to update.

This immediately silenced the state religion.

They couldn't blame the Primarch of Hope for the Savior; the Machine for Redeeming the Titans was still hanging over their heads. Several bishops of the Ecclesiarchy even fainted from anger.

Afterwards, both parties quietly dealt with the matter and did not mention it again.

However, the Empire's state religion still exerted influence internally, prohibiting priests and believers from accessing any content related to it and criticizing it.

Declaring it to be an unclean existence.

In fact, the content on the psychic network that was criticized by the state religion was safe. It was not only screened by the Mechanical Goddess, but also protected by the essence of the Primarch of Hope, the Savior, the Little Sun.

Especially after that being obtains a trace of the essence of joy, even if the relevant content is slightly affected, the joyful belief formed by it will be absorbed by it.

Rather than dedicating it to the Lord of Pleasure.

I hope that the Primarch Savior deliberately allowed the existence of those contents, which is essentially a kind of ideological liberation.

It can effectively impact the empire's imprisoned thoughts and release some vitality.

Of course, all this is kept within a reasonable range.

These were just some of the disturbances caused by the cleanup activities. Under the deterrence of the Primarch of Hope, the Savior, no bloodshed occurred.

In the past, such theoretical disputes would have been enough to trigger a war, resulting in bloodshed.

The cleanup troops spent a huge amount of resources and manpower to clean up the dark corners of the throne world bit by bit and dig up the remaining ancient ruins. They tried to clean up every corner of the heart of the empire and obtained a lot of precious technology.

This is something that Holy Terra has never been able to do before.

The once barren and chaotic throne world had exhausted all its strength just to maintain the survival of the planet's population and the operation of various departments.

There is simply no way to organize an operation of this magnitude.

What's more, this action requires the cooperation of all imperial departments. In the past, if the empire wanted to organize such an action, it would take dozens or even hundreds of years just to have various meetings, debates, and interest disputes.

Long-term and repeated procrastination is enough to cause the relevant plans to fail in the womb.

The Savior suppressed the major departments and forces of the empire with force and power, so that he could organize the various departments and ignore the conflicts of interest.

Carry out a large-scale cleanup of this throne world.

No matter which department or holy area, there is no place that the cleanup team cannot go.

Except for the palace.

It is one of the most stable areas in the empire, and the Imperial Guards can simply carry out a simple cleanup. Any large-scale war may lead to danger.

Over the years, the cleanup operations organized by Grand Inquisitor Deville have largely cleared out the dark side of Holy Terra, while banning and destroying millions of illegal and heretical rebellious organizations.

According to the plan, the next step is to audit and check the trillions of people in Holy Terra.

Too many heretics and rebels merged into the crowd due to the dissolution of the organization and secretly undermined order.

They had to eliminate all possible alien heretics, especially the cunning Tyranids hiding among them.

This plan is still in preparation, but unexpectedly, the news that the savior has become the ruler of the empire has brought out all kinds of heretics and rebellions hiding among the people.

Leading to confusion.

After shocking the Supreme Lord and other high-ranking officials of the empire, the Grand Inquisitor felt worried and guilty.

He believed that it was his own dereliction of duty. As the savior's hound, he failed to eliminate the hidden dangers hidden in the throne world in time.

The only thing to be thankful for is that after several rounds of cleansing, the scale of the chaos has been greatly reduced.

Compared with the previous disasters of the Primarch and the Terra Spring, the damage to the Throne World can be ignored.

It might affect the image of the savior and cause flaws in the coronation ceremony of that being.

After all, as soon as the new "Emperor" of the Empire ascended the throne, chaotic attacks and many bloody incidents broke out in Holy Terra, which was undoubtedly a blasphemy against the Savior.

It will also leave a bad impression on many forces within the empire.

In any case, Deville must stabilize the order of Holy Terra as soon as possible to ensure the smooth progress of the Savior's coronation ceremony.

He plans to implement the relevant plans ahead of schedule under a new name.

In the name of the savior, Deville convened relevant senior officials of the empire to study and discuss countermeasures.

A few hours later, a new action and related decree were introduced.

The operation was called "Holy Terra Social Security Management Operation" and its purpose was to deal with the existing security problems in the throne world.

Deville and other high-ranking imperial officials characterized the chaos as a disorder of public order rather than a heretical rebellion, attack, or rebellious rebellion.

Nominally reduce its impact.

This social security management operation will unite various departments and be gradually implemented in five-year increments to completely eliminate the chaos in public security in the throne world.

Of course, the most important purpose of this action is to quell the current chaos with lightning speed.

Chief Judge Deville swept his hawk-like eyes over the crowd, and spoke in a very serious tone:

"Everyone, we must clear up this public security chaos within five days, and there is no upper limit to the related investment..."

He raised his hand slightly and made a ceremonial gesture of the Supervisory Department: "For the Savior!"

Behind the Chief Judge, dozens of judges from the Supervisory Department, wearing black coats and red armbands, also swore allegiance in fanatical tones and gestures.

"For the Savior!"

Under inexplicable pressure and fanatical atmosphere, everyone present also took the oath.

Some of them even had sweat on their foreheads.

These guys are completely loyal to the Savior, even to the point of fanaticism, and even the Emperor is ranked behind the Savior by them.

Everyone knows that Grand Inquisitor Deville and the Supervisory Department are the special guards left behind by the Savior in Holy Terra, responsible for acting as vicious dogs to tear apart all rebels who oppose that existence.

This is also something that can't be helped.

There are too many ambitious people on Holy Terra, and the savior himself is not here. Only by implementing such high-pressure supervision can those monsters be suppressed.

Once that being truly ascends the throne, perhaps this situation will be gradually improved.

Gradually separate the powers of the Ministry of Supervision from various affairs.

After the personnel from various departments dispersed, Deville walked onto the terrace alone with his hands behind his back. He was meticulous, even his hair was in tact.

He looked at the busy crowd below, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes:
"Savior, I will fulfill the mission you have given me and ensure that your power and authority can be exercised without hindrance!"

This administrative official, who came from a hereditary family in the Royal Court of Ers, was able to step into the heart of the empire from the edge of the galaxy step by step, relying on cruel means and his unparalleled fanaticism and loyalty to the savior.

He is willing to give everything for loyalty.

Now, the being he respected has succeeded as the ruler of the empire and the new emperor.

In Deville's view, from now on, there will be only one sun in Holy Terra, and that is the Primarch of Hope, the Savior.

Of course, the emperor still exists, but he can only be respected in a religious sense and cannot interfere with the operation of the imperial regime.

Otherwise this appointment will be meaningless.

Those imperial forces will still interpret and promote the Emperor's will, placing it above the laws of the Savior, causing many influences and chaos.

The relevant management costs will also increase greatly, making it more difficult to achieve unity.

For example, the current Holy Terra is implementing various policies entirely through high-intensity surveillance and suppression.

It is equivalent to putting a gun to the heads of various forces, forcing them to comply.

Any slight disturbance could lead to new chaos.

High-pressure surveillance cannot be implemented in the long term. Force can threaten lives, but it is difficult to control and grasp the deeply rooted human hearts and minds.

If this continues, it will lead to a greater disaster one day.

Therefore, Deville must further strengthen the authority of the Savior until the sun representing the Savior is bright enough.

So that no one can ignore it.

In fact, the Saviors and related high-ranking members had been discussing an issue a long time ago.

How to reduce the Emperor's influence?
Because the Emperor's faith has become a problem for the Empire and even a weapon in the hands of some forces.

A better way now is to promote the belief in the Golden Sun and the Savior, further weaken the image of the emperor, and strengthen the belief in the Savior.

That would require religious reform, the construction of a large number of golden sun and savior statues in all territories of the empire, and the hiding and covering of a certain number of emperor statues.

Create a certain degree of balance between the two, so that more faith can be focused on the Savior.

As for the Emperor's opinion?
The old man would only applaud what Deville and related entities did.

The emperor himself was forcibly lifted onto the altar. He said countless times that he was not a god and did not need to be worshipped.

However, those believers acted as if they didn't hear it, and even regarded it as the influence of evil gods or a test of the Emperor's own faith.

Now, faith has become the source of the emperor's pain, making it unbearable for him and he can hardly suppress it!
No one, neither Man nor Chaos Gods, could afford the price of the Emperor's ascension to Godhood.

Once the Emperor ascends to the rank of god and becomes the Dark Lord as prophesied, He will become the most terrifying enemy of mankind, bar none.

Just like Slaanesh and the Eldar.

They cannot coexist no matter what, and only the death of one side can bring liberation.

At that time, the human race will face the greatest tragedy.

Both the Primarch and the Imperium's warriors will be forced to swing their blades against the former Lord and Protector of Mankind.

Until one of them is completely destroyed.

The great rift in the Warp a hundred years ago might have been a strategy implemented by the Chaos Gods in an effort to reduce the number of humans and the dedication of faith as much as possible.

Lest the Emperor take that step.

But that was just an emergency stop.

Now, with the influence of the Savior Realm and the Indomitus Crusade, a large amount of territory has been recovered and the Emperor's glory has once again spread throughout the galaxy.

Those devout believers who have escaped from suffering continue to devote more faith to the Emperor.

This made the Emperor feel even more guilty and painful, as he knew very well that he was both the guardian of mankind and the death knell of mankind's demise.

What kind of sorrow and torture is that? !

According to the forbidden news coming out of the throne room of the imperial palace.

The Mechanical Sage who was in charge of maintaining the Golden Throne discovered many hidden cracks in the magnificent machine, and the number of cracks was increasing...
