Inquisitor Horace, with a short sheeptail beard, looks very characteristic of the ancient Romans, with deep eyebrows, black hair and black eyes, medium and short hair, and looks very spirited.

Horace was a man of ability and responsibility.

In the original historical line, he relied on the help brought by his position as a judge to make the investigation impressive. Although they are one step behind each time, they have not obtained solid evidence. But that's for two reasons.

1, internally, although the inquisitor has the right to levy manpower, material resources or something, the star regions and even the planet lords must not refuse, nor dare to refuse, otherwise they will be suspected of loyalty, but in fact, people can also disobey the yang and the yin, and they must not contribute to the work, and it is okay to secretly stumble and do bad things.

2. Externally, once it involves major projects, such as the Black Expedition, those under the command of the Four Evil Gods will more or less show some real skills. After all, these projects seem to be carried out by the popular students below, but the master must be happy to see them. And the big devils are also willing to watch this kind of drama, and even shoot some similar people to participate, and then just like watching the World Cup and gambling, they are happy to eat melons.

As a result, Horace's subordinates are a bunch of powerless scum, seeing that they are about to harvest, and the chaos side has reached out to cover up or wash the floor with extraordinary means.

Horace himself has seen a lot of strange situations, but these can't be used as evidence, empty mouths, white teeth, can't be believed.

It can even be said that the upper echelons of the empire would rather choose the Gothic Star Sector to be slaughtered than regret not adopting such unsubstantiated claims in the first place.

If you believe it, just the adjustments made for this will be equivalent to the loss of an entire Gothic Star Region every three or five years. And the reason why the wolf is coming has to be considered.

So sometimes it looks mediocre and impersonal, but in fact, it is helplessness in that environment, and the perspective of considering the problem is different.

The territory of the empire is so vast, everything is responded to quickly, and it can be fair and fair, not to mention the current mess situation of the empire, even when the emperor is in power, he can't do it! Even Kane appeared on the stage and turned the empire into a super religious god, but he was just reduced to a civilized nanny. In turn, civilization has been completely reduced to a 'thing', cutting off the possibility of independent development.

The vision retracted to Inquisitor Horace, this person's ability, excellent qualities, and even luck were okay, and Kane was willing to invest in him, so the dark artifact exploration fleet set off, and now it brought back good news.

On a planet called Infernal Star, they found the Ball of Darkness.

In fact, Kane secretly confessed to the captain of the Methuselah, Klein Moser, yes, the disabled space marine, who was the captain of the Little Alcana-class landing ship and the Holy Grail III.

Kane believes that with Moser's resume, he has the ability to perform on a bigger stage. So he was transferred from the Big Dipper region.

Moser was both the captain of the Methuselah, the supreme commander of the fleet, and the chief of staff of operations in the shadows.

If Horst can't open the situation within a certain time limit, then Moze will tell Horst the prophetic message taught by Kane, so as to get the dark artifact before the forces of Chaos.

Especially the first item, the Dark Sphere, is what Kane cares about the most, and the Dark Scepter is also more concerned.

Kane had always believed that they represented the skull and spine, respectively, and that they naturally belonged to the Dreads, a Dreadful of the Dead before the Star God had transferred his soul to living metal.

To be more specific, it is the predecessor of the Master of the Underground Palace. At that time, the master of the underground palace was not responsible for repairing the tomb, but a master craftsman who mastered the skills of the Fear of the Dead.

The Blackstone Fortress is most likely the handiwork of this master.

And to really activate it, it's similar to the transcendent version of DNA authentication, which must be the master's DNA.

Kane guessed that the master craftsman had become the master of the dungeon, but his original corpse did not catch up with the feast of the star god on the body of life, so he designed and made it into a key and became part of his masterpiece.

If that's the case, then getting the skull and spine will be enough for him to crack, and the rest will be left to Abaddon.

The twelve Black Expeditions are aimed at the Blackstone Fortress, and if Abaddon doesn't have a key, won't the plot get stuck, or if he does too much to fight for the key, and the expedition will be ruined, it will be boring.

Horst was in good shape, and vaguely aware of the competitors, and the series of missions was very energetic, so he played 'Impossible to Enter', put down the Ball of Darkness, and set out on the journey again.

Kane, on the other hand, once again held a video conference with the bigwigs of the empire.

When the project was first established, it was a union with the Mechanicus Cult, the State Church, and the Inquisition, so the meeting was only two bigwigs.

There are no tirades, some are just a showcase.

Kane stimulated with the power of the Light, revealing the extraordinary properties of the Ball of Darkness.

The three bigwigs also found that the Ball of Darkness can be understood as a very sophisticated device. They can roughly make up the brain, once this thing is embedded in a large device, it can be used.

"Although for the current empire, no amount of powerful weapons is too much. But at the beginning of the Gothic War, or even at the end, I was not ready to use it. There are too many people staring at each other. ”

The Anglican Pope asked: "What if in the Gothic War, the forces of Chaos use the artifact to paralyze the basic functions of the Blackstone Fortress, and then launch a seizure of ......."

"They will find that the paralysis has been successful, but our fleet is strong and does not rely on the Blackstone Fortress to hold up the field. Of course, the sudden paralysis of the Blackstone Fortress did buy them time to seize it, and they could land smoothly, and even when they reached the core area, they used the key to completely activate the Blackstone Fortress and then completely gain control, only to find that the verification was a bit cumbersome and the loading procedure was a bit time-consuming. This is normal, after all, such a big fortress, and not a locomotive, plug in the key and twist it, light it and leave. ”

Augustus, the chief representative of the Inquisition, nodded: "In other words, the elite capture troops of the Chaos Forces will shed their blood in the Blackstone Fortress. ”

"That's right, I've studied with the tech priests, since the Blackstone Fortress is a relic that has limited use of its functions, it naturally takes into account the possibility of seizing and counter-seizing, and the interior will naturally be designed to be beneficial to the defenders. At that time, it is said that we will inevitably increase our troops and strengthen them, that is, the original garrison force, as long as the personnel are as complete as the regulations, there are no traitors to make trouble, and they can play normally, they can make the chaos side very painful. ”

Kane added: "As for this ball of darkness, it will be sent to the Inquisition, and the Inquisition can publicize it with great fanfare, and even brag about how tightly defended it is." ”

Augustus pondered for two seconds and asked, "Want to fish?"

"Well, there can be this show. ”

"If that's the case, then it's good to go through the normal process, and it's not in the usual style of the court. ”

"Okay, you can look at the arrangement in this regard. ”

"But I have to say that my side probably doesn't have enough strength to prevent high-end transcendent means from stealing or snatching. ”

"I will send a holy cultivation puppet to guard this thing without eating or drinking, and at a critical moment, it can even hold up the Holy Light Force Field for three weeks, if the evil thing is sawdust, then the Holy Light Force Field is a furnace. ”

At this time, Pope Azuben III of the State Church spoke: "Is there a holy friar, or can the way of the Holy Light be propagated?"

"Theoretically, yes, but there is a flaw in the faith, that is, if you really want to be sure that your actions are just, then you will not be punished by the rules. ”

"For example, what do people who grew up in cannibalism think about cannibalism?"

Yes, the key to faith is faith, and being able to deceive oneself without questioning it is also a kind of faith. Therefore, it is not impossible for the wicked to gain the favor of the Light, after all, the concept of good and evil has nothing to do with the nature of energy. ”

"A man who uses the Holy Light to kill people and do all kinds of evil is a devastating blow to the faith of the faithful. However, the four evil gods have a way to start from the seven emotions and six desires, so that people can achieve a similar state of not taking evil as evil. ”

"In this case, although you can't give up eating because of choking, you must at least be fully prepared before you can do it, and the seed of the law of good and evil that binds blessings and power is a method, and I am studying it. ”

Augustus asked, "Is there a lack of willing experimenters?"

Kane laughed, it was a very ......

The meeting was not lengthy, and several of the Empire's bigwigs accepted and grew accustomed to the Kane briefing rather than the tea party.

Shortly after the meeting, the Dark Orb was sent to Terra by the Order.

Today, the Order is the iconic calling card of the First Order.

Just as the business card of a city in the Earth Age is often a landmark, in Warhammer 40K, in this era, in the Empire, any organization that can be called a first-class organization will have a special ship to show its charm and strength.

After all, ships are claimed to be a nation of movement, and they are also an important tool for expansion in times of prosperity and retreat in times of decline.

So a good ship is not only face, but also lining.

If you look at it from this point of view, Kane's face and lining are actually not the turn of the Order, whether it is a stellar-class ship or a planetary-class ship, it must be ranked further.

But Kane didn't build world-class in this universe.

A world-class, neutron star battleship between a white dwarf and a black hole.

If you have to ask, what are the benefits of building a warship from a neutron star?

Kane would reply: These universes are material after all, and there is nothing wrong with focusing on quality with vehicles.

Especially for Kane, who has seen the infinite void beyond the universe, matter is as important as water to a desert traveler. After all, with the technology that Kane mastered, almost all matter can be understood as solid energy, and energy is the key to survival!

Kane opened the creator-level quest line this time, and the vehicles arranged for himself were star-level.

As the name suggests, in terms of mass, it fully meets the standards of planets.

When the more than 2-kilometer Starship Order, which was very sci-fi for the Imperials, appeared in Terra Starport again, accepted people's observation and was judged, Kane boarded the "Buzhoushan" planetary battleship and headed for the Far East Star Domain.

The First Order has been operating in the Big Dipper for two hundred years, and its production capacity is naturally very terrifying, even if it only releases a small part of it to the outside world, it is far from what Khulna and the Empire show by cooperating with it.

In fact, Kane only allocated 5% of the total production capacity of the First Order to the creation of the Outer Window Star Kurna and the cooperation with the Empire.

In the Big Dipper, the human factor prevents the production capacity from being fully released, so when the scale reaches Kane's expectations, 60% will immediately enter the dormant stage.

Dormancy is not a seal, and dormancy is an inefficient function.

The main specific content of the activity is to carry out the adaptive adjustment of the law.

In this way, when Kane needs it, this part of the production capacity can be efficiently put into operation in the world of great controversy, without worrying about the lack of compatibility with the laws of the universe outside the Big Dipper region, and various failures.

There is also 35% of the production capacity, which is intended for the steady development of the Big Dipper area.

In the Window World, 1.5% is used for Khulna construction, and 0.5% is for cooperation with the Empire, including the Antioch Fortress Ring Space Dock with Louvansberg.

The remaining 3%, for more than a year, has been used for the construction of the Buzhoushan, and with the completion of the Buzhoushan, the idle production capacity will be used to turn Korna Cybertan.

The mechanical outer space that Kane had seen in the Dark Old Ruler Universe (which later turned out to be the legacy given to the deity by Zhao Wenrui) belonged to the cybertronized world. Later, the Kaijin Palace of C Kane, which was given to Marvel 20K Universe by Kane, also belongs to this type of product.

The cybertronized world is, to put it bluntly, a highly controllable artificial planet.

The Buzhoushan is a ship-type artificial planet.

But it doesn't have the size of a planet, and at 12 kilometers in length, it's only about the size of an Empire's Apocalypse-class battleship.

But its quality is planetary!

The unscientific concept of the Divine Force Field, which only exists in the universe where supernatural forces are active, greatly reduces the difficulty of building this type of warship. Otherwise, it is just a matter of gravity, and trying to pinch a planetary-mass object into the shape of a ship and maintain the stability of the structure can make the technician die of worry.

And with such a massive hull, the density of its material is so amazing that even if you don't turn on any additional protection, Abaddon's planetary killer, or even the space necromancer's Blackstone Fortress Gathering Fire, can't do anything about it.

Of course, there is no real perfection, and the Buzhoushan also has a weakness, that is, the core of the kingdom of God.

That's right, Buzhoushan is equivalent to a kingdom of gods, but the main function of the core of this kingdom of gods is not to deal with the power of faith, but to transform energy.

In this system, Kane's divine power plays the role of recipe and template.

It is through this recipe and template that the core of the Kingdom of God continuously produces divine power and maintains the consumption of the divine field.

In order to sustain the huge consumption, a gaseous planet slightly larger than Jupiter was first created, then compressed into fuel, and in a reaction chamber called a solar fusion furnace, a stellar nuclear fusion reaction was used to provide ships with abundant usable energy.

Therefore, it costs a lot of money just to screen enough materials for building ships.

Kane also sighed a little about this: "No matter how big the ship is, I only use those hundreds of square meters of space, if there is no possibility of cross-galaxy demand, I would rather use the Burdington reconnaissance ship." ”

The USS Burdington, in the interstellar era, could only be regarded as a bicycle in size, and the battleship Order was just a locomotive, and the fortress ship of the Zhoushan could be regarded as a luxury RV.

A luxury RV can be a self-driving vehicle for traveling around the world, so it is basically enough to travel around the universe without Zhoushan.

So on this day, the Buzhoushan, disguised as the Imperial Apocalypse-class battleship Doom, set out on a journey.

The original Doom, along with its sister ship, the Doom, were among the most unlucky ships in the history of the Imperial Navy, including but not limited to being attacked by friendly forces, and the Doom was eventually killed by a fire attack ship controlled by the Chaos Cultists.

The fire attack ship is loaded with high-energy explosives, and the combat method is also quite 'kamikaze'. Its debut coincided with the upcoming Gothic War on the original historical line.

Due to the isolation of the Gothic Star Sector due to the subspace storm, and the lack of external support, the Imperial side fell into a great disadvantage from the beginning, and was in a strong desire to survive, and some people in the Imperial Navy came up with such a trick.

Specifically, Commodore Kurz used two fire attack ships against the Chaos side's famous battleship 'Unforgiven'.

But there is also a source for coming up with this trick, and this is what happened to the Doom back then. Cultists of Chaos took control of the transport ship loaded with fuel and ammunition, and modified it to a certain extent to make the explosion more powerful.

As a result, the Doom was almost blown in two by the dagger-worthy fire attack ship, and the middle and rear parts were destroyed to the point that only the skin was attached.

Its sister ship, the Doomsday, was also in the explosion range, and it was originally intended to be listed, but it was directly repaired for 50 years......

The superstitions prevailing in the navy, as well as the misfortunes of the two ships, contributed to their ill-fated fate, and Kane felt that his fate was too strong to hold on to such an ominous ship and become the enemy's doom.

Before leaving, he also consulted about the resurrection of 'Grandpa Blue' Robert Killeman.

After all, he couldn't come back in a short time, and Kane's plan was to come back in time for the Gothic War.

What's more important is that the leap technology he has mastered, he doesn't need to look at the face of the subspace, and the subspace storm can't lock him.

In addition, the large stargate between Kurna and Terra is also about to enter the actual testing stage, with this channel, in the Gothic War, the imperial side is no longer isolated, coupled with a large number of exchange ships, and the placement of the families of seamen and soldiers to prevent infiltration and rebellion, it can be said that the Gothic Star Zone has become a trap for the enemy, and it is of little significance whether he is in charge or not.

However, regarding the resurrection of Killiman, the program is stuck in the Ultramarines. To put it bluntly, the Ultramarines don't recognize Kane, a birdman who doesn't know where to come out, and question his ability to repair the 'magic weapon wounds' on Kiliman's body.

The process of resurrection, or awakening of Killiman in the original historical line, is also quite tortuous.

The Xenomorph Inquisition has put the Ultramarines to the test, or rather a difficulty, in order to convince the Ultramarines that Evana, the messenger of the Eldari and the envoy of the god of death, has the ability and will to awaken Kiriman.

And at that time, it was also when the external pressure was in place that the extreme warriors had the mind to try.

Now, it is impossible for Kane to accept the trial level set by the ultramarines in the way of kneeling and licking pilgrimage, not to mention that he is just a human xenomorph who has been eroded by the power of subspace and has some demonic characteristics, that is, a real hybrid of gods and demons, once he appears, he will punch heaven and kick Nephilim in the Diablo world of hell, and Kane does not feel worthy of his admiration.

After learning of Kane's attitude, the Inquisition could only work on the side of the Ultramarines, but the progress was very limited.

And without saving Kiliman, pulling the emperor up from the golden toilet bowl is even more unthinkable.

The Praetorian Guards, which run on their own, are very stubborn. They would not allow any cat or dog to contact the emperor, and even if they had a title with the word 'holy', they might not be able to get into their eyes.

In their words, we only recognize those approved by the emperor.

The emperor has been sitting on the golden toilet for more than 10,000 years. Most of the people he recognized back then are dead.

Besides, the emperor must be right? Half of the twenty genetic prototypes have rebelled, which is the best proof of this.

But in any case, the Praetorian Guard is difficult to accommodate, not a deliberate attempt to ignore people's words in the style of 'raising thieves and self-respect', but foolish loyalty.

Kane knew that the Emperor was actually in touch with his guards.

However, the funny, or self-defeating, point is that the emperor himself is a person who cannot trust the so-called psychic ability.

He knew that the so-called psychic ability was mutation, and it could communicate subspace power.

Subspace forces may not be good or bad, but the benefits and disadvantages are clear, and at the same time extraordinarily tempting.

Therefore, those who are capable of the mind have the possibility of being enslaved by power, or being used by those evils in the subspace.

Because of this, his Praetorian Guards can be said to be excellent in everything, but they are not extraordinary.

Specifically, there is no one who has the ability to have a mind.

As a result, it was difficult for the emperor to really communicate with them.

The emperor used the method of dreaming.

But dreams are such things, when they are in the scene, they will remember at most when they wake up, even if the other Praetorian Guards are willing to believe that what the dreamer says is true, but the emperor's affairs are no trivial matter, where do you dare to act wantonly with dreams?

Mo said that the bigwigs of the various institutions of the empire would not allow it, and even if they could, the Praetorian Guard would not be able to do it.

After all, their only duty was to guard the Emperor, past, present, and future. Any other act is a serious transgression, and if it is done, the detached status that has always been erased will be erased.

Therefore, the emperor can be regarded as a cocoon and has words of suffering.

Kane said in his heart: "Okay, 10,000 years have dragged on like this, not a few years." And no one is necessarily irreplaceable. There are no big guys, and everyone has a good time......"

For example, he is, in the eyes of many people, a powerful thigh.

Of course, at the same time, he may also serve as a powerful God of Wealth and even Kaizi, so when I heard that he was going to travel, all the major institutions of the empire wanted to send representatives to accompany him. This includes the Star Torch Academy, the Star Language Academy, etc., which had little interaction before.

Kane knew very well that the two major institutions had been a little worried that his appearance would ruin their jobs, until he clearly expressed in his interaction that the Afro-Asian space jump was too demanding for industrial precision, and it was not suitable for today's empire. And quantum communication has similar problems, which is a dark sigh of relief.

But at this time, it was already a little embarrassing to want to get to Kane's side again.

But if you are angry with others, no matter how embarrassing you are, you will have to take the opportunity to send people away enthusiastically.

The argument is: it's always good to be prepared when you're away from home, what if you need someone who is well-versed in this 'ancient' way of sailing and the way of language?

And things like the Inquisition, the Cult of the Mechanicus, and the like are much more straightforward: "I said that we would dig the grave of the space necromancer together, is this this time?"

Not to mention, it really made these people guess that Kane's project does involve ribs, of course, not only ribs, but also greenskins, chaos, Tyranids, and even titanium......
