Hyperion, but in Warhammer 40K

So at this time, the pastor also sent Zhou Ye away with a bright smile, but...

"Why do I always feel like something is missing?"

After returning to the library, he looked at everything in front of him. He felt like something was missing, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Never mind, these are not important, the plan is about to begin."

Looking at the library in front of him, he didn't even glance at it, then turned and left.

On the other side, Zhou Ye also had a look of satisfaction on his face. He had taken all of Jianqi's stuff. In order to prevent being discovered, he secretly used his authority to construct the same books and put them in their original locations.

It had the words "Lord of Change" written on it, but it was really just a book. It had the words "Lord of Change" written on it, but it couldn't corrupt anything.

While there's a chance they'll be discovered, it's not a big deal. At worst, I can just go and kill them all tonight. Of course, if possible, I'll still find a judge. Going through the process isn't bad, and I've earned quite a bit of energy this time.

Soon the Mechanical Temple...

"It really has been corrupted, the Chaos Octagon."

Feeling something was amiss, he had the Blessed Skull scan the area carefully and soon found some Chaos Eight-pointed Stars hidden in extremely dark corners, as well as...

"The Thousand Sons... huh?"

hum...

With a roar, the group of White Scars returned and landed directly in front of Zhou Ye. However, unlike when they left, they were in an unusually disheveled state when they returned.

Even the motorcycle had some damage, it was obvious that they were here for maintenance.

"White Scars Space Marines, any news?"

"We saw the Iron Warrior's front, and the corrupted Mechanicus. There was even a Warhound-class Titan covered in blasphemous symbols..."

"How dare they blaspheme and defile the divine machinery like this!!!"

Zhou Ye was furious when he heard this, but of course he was also thinking about another thing in his mind. That is, whether he could get rid of this Titan.

"Calm down, we need to find the planetary general and the governor..."

"I suggest you don't do that. Look what I found in the Mechanical Temple."

At this moment, Zhou Ye also waved his hand, and then a blessed skull flew out. Then it landed in a corner, and then a light shone on the top of the skull, and a very obscure pattern appeared on it.

"Heretics, is that...the symbol of the Thousand Sons?"

Although it was quite far away and the symbol was small, the Space Marines' powerful eyesight still caught it instantly. As a founding group, they had more knowledge and experience, so they recognized it instantly.

"It's clear those people have been corrupted and fallen."

Looking at the ugly white scars, Zhou Ye sneered and said, "He has only been here for a few days. These traces of time are definitely not left by himself."

As for whether there will be doubts or suspicions in the future, please be assured that he would have already walked away by then.

Chapter 10 Look, there's a wild judge

click

Almost instantly, the sound of explosives being loaded was heard.

Then came a ghostly silence. The situation here was more troublesome than they knew. No one in the entire hive could be trusted now, and the corruption of the four Chaos Gods varied.

Among them, the corruption of Khorne and Nurgle is, to some extent, the least threatening, after all, these two things are too obvious.

Then there's the corruption of lust, which is also relatively easy to detect. But the most troublesome one is Tzeentch, which is really hard to guard against.

Even the empire has not fallen apart until now, and Tzeentch can be said to have made great contributions.

But the gifts of chaos have long been clearly priced, and what you get is completely different from what you pay.

So now the state religion, the planetary governor, and even the planetary general are no longer trustworthy.

"Father Omega, come with me. I hope you won't tell anyone about these things."

"I smell a secret. It's White Scar. That's all right."

Hearing this, Zhou Ye's eyes flickered. He smelled a secret. Then he realized that the person in front of him was Bai Scar, not DA, which was a pity.

Then the few of them passed through a series of messy streets and turned left and right more than a hundred times. Just when Zhou Ye was a little doubtful.

He arrived at his destination, and then...

A judge appeared in front of him. After seeing this judge, Zhou Ye felt bored.

Just an Inquisitor. Can this Inquisitor mobilize the White Scars?

"I'm the Inquisitor of the Anti-foreign Religion ...

"what?"

After seeing the judge in front of him, Zhou Ye was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at the group of White Scars behind him and realized something.

"Are you Death Watch?"

"Yes, they are two kill teams under Deathwatch. Now they have changed back to the color scheme of the parent group, mainly to conceal their tracks."

"what is your purpose?"

"I came to Estia according to a prophecy. To avoid being seen, I boarded a Rogue Trader's ship. My ship would arrive later. However, I encountered a Warp fluctuation, isolating my ship from the outside."

"Why don't you reveal your identity?"

After hearing that it was the Anti-Foreign Order, Zhou Ye was quite calm. As long as it wasn't a bunch of crazy people from the Holy Hammer Order, it would be fine. Besides, the Inquisitor in front of him and the few White Scars behind him were not enough for him to deal with.

"Because we are not strong enough, my Storm Heirs are isolated in the Warp. Therefore, we must act in a low profile. Nothing here is that simple. Now it seems that corruption is prevalent. I plan to wait until my reinforcements arrive before revealing my identity."

"I remember that the Deathwatch seemed to have a rule that a kill team couldn't have members from the same chapter..."

"They all come from different White Scars successor groups. I need a force specifically for rapid reconnaissance. As for the main force, it will be a chapter operating nearby."

"Action nearby?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ye's brows couldn't help but twitch, because he thought of a possibility.

"Blood Ravens, there's a Blood Raven company operating nearby."

"Um......."

Hearing this, Zhou Ye also fell into silence. He passed by the blood crow. He was very sure that the blood crow flew in the other direction, which meant that the thing might never come.

"It seems that the Star Language Court has also been corrupted. Our support may never arrive."

Obviously, the Blood Crows should have arrived long ago. Yet, there was no sign of them. He suspected they had been misled by the Astronomican. Furthermore, the nearby subspace was unstable, so even if they could react, it would likely take a long time.

"So, Your Honor, what are you going to do?"

Looking at the judge in front of him, Zhou Ye said with interest.

Outside, there were Tie Yong and the Mechanicus, and inside, there were the flock of blue-feathered birds. The only people who could be mobilized and trusted were the few people in this room, and so everything became interesting.

"The Governor is hosting a banquet for us tonight. The battle lines are constantly retreating. The Governor is also organizing the final decisive battle. This dinner is likely a pre-war mobilization. So, why not take this opportunity to see if those high-ranking officials have been corrupted?"

"I thought you were going to capture them all at once. It seems you're not that crazy. So, Judge Chris, how are you going to get in?"

"Isn't it you?"

"Ok?"

"Isn't it normal for a priest of the Mechanicum to bring a servitor? This time I brought a special item that can directly identify those beings."

"what?"

"A book, a book of chaos."

Since Zhou Ye's cooperation was needed anyway, Judge Chris took out a book and placed it in front of Zhou Ye.

"Hmm...huh?"

After looking at the words in front of him, Zhou Ye fell into silence. Then he silently took a step back, because there was really no other way.

That thing is really thick. There is a Nurgle demon living in this book.

Among the four evil gods of Chaos, the one Zhou Ye despises the most is Nurgle, followed by Sex and Sadism.

"He was tricked by the demons of Tzeentch, and now it's a book. If it were about any other demon, it wouldn't be believed, but if it's about Tzeentch, you can trust him partially for now."

"It stinks, stay away from me."

"........"

It was obvious that this priest was not a very rule-abiding person like himself, no wonder he was kicked out as an outsider.

........

At night, the stars slowly set.

In the upper level of the hive city, the lights were on in the governor's luxurious palace.

The garbage men in the lower nest eat food every day that would kill people in the 2K era if they ate one bite, while the planetary governor's palace provides unlimited delicacies and fine wines.

But only a handful of people were qualified to attend the banquet: planetary generals and various military officers, Space Marines from the White Scars, mysterious mechanical priests, and the local state bishop.

There were also several local dignitaries. Now, dozens of people gathered in that luxurious palace.

This was also the first time Zhou Ye met the local planetary governor. Unlike the fat and bloated one he had imagined, this governor looked relatively lean and capable.

From what he knew, this man was a retired captain of the Astra Militarum Army and still looked somewhat like a soldier.

The rest is unknown whether they have been corrupted or not. As for the others...

Needless to say, the bishop's robes were covered in sharp teeth, which was a clear sign of his weakness. This guy had been corrupted, but hadn't undergone any major changes.

Chapter 11: Watching the Chicken

"There shouldn't be any corpse starch in here, right?"

Looking at the dining table in front of him, Zhou Ye muttered in his heart.

He had no shortage of food, as Hyperion contained a large amount of seeds, including bananas, apples, watermelons, and so on.

If you want to eat it yourself, you can just use the authority of the Ruler of Death to ripen it.

So you can basically just ignore the mess in this world.

"The war is about to begin. Do you have anything to say?"

Although the banquet was rich in dishes, the Governor's face was filled with fatigue. The chaotic situation and the continuous defeats on the battlefield made him sad, but there was also good news.

That meant they had already paid their tithes years ago, so they didn't have to worry about the tax department coming to collect them during the war. Given the remoteness of the Estia Hive, the tax had to be paid every fifty years anyway.

But even so, he was still exhausted both physically and mentally.

He had to deal with a huge amount of documents and material allocation. The only good news was that a team of Astartes descended from the sky, which relieved a lot of his pressure.

As he finished speaking, the entire hall fell into silence.

but.......

"Please don't worry, my lord."

At this moment, a voice sounded somewhat inopportunely, and it turned out to be a representative of the workers' guild.

"Your Excellency, Planetary Governor, in today's critical situation, only if we unite can we overcome it. Each of us is great. Since our birth, the God-Emperor has bestowed upon us equal rights and obligations..."

"Fuck, you're such a thief, it's okay then."

This extremely generous and emotional speech stunned Zhou Ye, who then started to complain through the mask.

A workers' guild, huh? No wonder Estia was able to provide enough war supplies. So it was just a case of thievery. That's fine, then.

He also roughly figured out the current time, which was probably between the 40th and 41st millennium.

"call........"

Because at this time Zhou Ye was directly connected to several white scars and the Inquisitor disguised as a mechanical servant in the corner, everyone heard his words.

"Don't rush to expose it. We still need the power of a cunning thief right now."

At this moment, the Inquisitor's voice rang out. As soon as this person spoke, the Inquisitor knew what was happening. Don't forget, he is an Inquisitor of the Anti-Xenocracy Order, and his main target of combat is the vast number of aliens.

Naturally, he also knew the characteristics of chickens being cunning, so he didn't find it strange that there were chickens in the nest.

Considering the current situation in the Estia Hive, it would be surprising if there weren't some thieves. The Hive is in such a state of chaos right now, there's no need to rush to kill these thieves.

Anyway, according to his intelligence, it is still unknown how far Terran's fleet is from here.
