Chapter 214: Soul Contract

The will is not groundless, you can have it if you want to. There was a light of justice and humanity in it.

Soldiers of the Empire or members of special institutions can hone their will through exhausting rigors of training. But for the countless subjects of the Empire, a firm faith is the best way to protect their hearts.

As Blatter stood in an airport on Biondini and pondered how to deal with the aftermath of the riots on Biondini and how to mentally control the people of his planet afterwards, a team of transports landed on a platform in the distance.

As the hatch opened, countless Sisters of Silence and members of the Anglican Church stepped out of it.

Blatter was waiting here for the envoys from Terra, and when the identities of these people were confirmed, Blatter immediately stepped forward with a group of officials from the planetary government.

And as Blatter got closer and closer, he began to feel that the spiritual power that had been with him since birth was gradually weakening.

No, not only psionic energy, but Blatter even felt like his soul was about to disappear from his body.

It's definitely not a comfortable feeling.

"Uhh

Not only is it uncomfortable, it is simply extreme pain.

Not only Blatter, but also the officials behind him who had undergone the psionic awakening ritual and possessed different levels of psionic energy also appeared in this situation.

Although they knew that the Sisters of Silence in front of them were Imperial troops, they would never attack them, it was only their innate ability as untouchables.

But this powerful "psionic vacuum" formed by the gathering of many untouchable people really made them dare not move any further.

The Untouchable, also known as the "Soulless", will literally form a vacuum of the soul, sucking all the soul fire in the surrounding environment, and all the existence of any meaningful soul is not immune.

Weaker untouchables, under normal circumstances, simply make people feel wrong, and those around them instinctively avoid them.

But at the moment, there are a group of the most elite anti-psionic troops in the empire, and the anti-psychic ability field of these real psionic isolators is so remarkable that ordinary people can detect it.

For psykers like Blatter at this time, the mere proximity to the Silent Sisters would cause them intense physical and mental pain.

In the eyes of these psionics, the Silent Sisters ahead were a terrifying abyss screaming, shielding them from all psionic energy around them, but also disrupting and interfering with the flow and connection of the subspace energy around them.

These Silent Sisters are almost like paradoxes and anomalies in a computer system to psykers, and their very existence weakens and poisons psionics like poison.

Blat, who had a lot of experience, had not been without contact with the untouchable, but as a powerful psyker, the people he had come into contact with had never given him the same feelings as the Silent Nun in front of him.

She is worthy of the Silent Nun, a ruthless woman with specialized powers, and a power that lives up to the fame of the Emperor's Claw.

Blatter couldn't help but sigh like this in his heart.

But at this time, looking at the group of silent nuns and members of the Anglican in front of him, Blatter became a little embarrassed for a moment. He was caught in a dilemma.

It is impossible to get any closer. Just look at the group of officials behind Blatter who were about to collapse on the ground at this time, and you can see how much pressure the Silent Nun put on these psionics.

But the emissary from Terra is just around the corner, and Blatter is here with a group of officials waiting for them to take over a lot of tasks. It's not a good idea to turn around and walk away now.

As Blatter hesitated, an Anglican priest seemed to realize Blatter's plight.

So the Sisters of Silence stayed where they were, and the group of Anglican members around the transporter approached Blat.

"Praise the Emperor! Good thing you're here. It's hard for us to get close to them. Blatter said helplessly.

"Praise the Emperor!"

In a crowd of Anglican personnel, a pastor returned the salute and said.

"You're Blatter, the planetary governor of Biondini, right?"

"Yes. I'm Blatter. ”

"So let's get moving. In accordance with your orders, we will now rush to the churches. ”

As a planetary governor, as a powerful psyker, Blatter has already cultivated the ability to read words and colors in his past life.

Looking at the young member of the Anglican in front of him, although his face was full of exhaustion from the journey with Sister Silence, but his eyes were still full of motivation, Blatter immediately knew roughly what kind of person he was.

So he didn't say any more polite words, and went straight to the point.

"Yes, we're ready for that. Now that you have arrived, plans are ready to begin. ”

"Let's go, then, we're ready too."

The priest's right hand rubbed a bag hanging from his body, filled with brand-new "imperial coins".

The purpose of their coming to Biondini was to use the imperial psionic energy in these Emperor Coins to make all the Imperial subjects on Biondini sign a soul contract with the Emperor.

In order to achieve this, not only on his body, but also in the warehouses of the transports behind him, they were also filled with these imperial coins made by the Imperial State Church and the Star Court.

These imperial gifts will be given to every human being fairly.

Led by officials from Biondini, these members of the Anglican who had mastered the ritual of soul binding traveled to churches in various cities on the planet in transport boats.

The thousands of Silent Nuns, led by the servants, traveled alone in a transport boat to a place on Biondiny.

...

...

There are only a few thousand Sisters of Silence from Terra, but hundreds of thousands of members of the Anglican Church have come with them.

But the hundreds of thousands of people are a lot, and these hundreds of thousands of people are only a drop in the bucket compared to the number of people on Biondini at this time.

It takes a lot of time to send these members of the state religion to churches around the planet and have them perform soulbound rituals to all the subjects of the empire on the planet.

But fortunately, some of the members of the Anglican on Biondini, plus the priests and think tanks among the Space Marines who were staying on Biondini at this time, Blatter had already contacted them.

In addition to performing key rituals, these individuals can help the Anglican members from Terra with other alternative tasks.

The corresponding officials of the planetary government, under the orders of the planetary governor Blatter, are very cooperative with these members of the state religion in their work.

As for the imperial people on the planet at this time, they are very cooperative.

Soul binding with the emperor is a great honor for everyone.

You must know that the Star Whisperers bound to the soul of the Emperor himself are like some kind of prophet or oracle in the eyes of ordinary citizens, and even some Astartes have to be kind and treat Star Whisperers well.

What an honor it is for them to have such an opportunity to bond their souls with the emperor and the gods they believe in!

It's even more exciting than having them do a psionic awakening before.

Coupled with the impact of the riots that took place on the planet before, the people of the empire on Biondini did not resist this matter in the slightest. They know it's protecting them.

Before the Soul Binding Ritual had been performed, every citizen of the Empire on Biondini felt like they were bathed in the warm glow of the Emperor.

Emperor, are you the one who protects us?

Hello gentle.

At this time, the capital of Biondini was the place where the state religion of the empire had already taken root.

There are statues of saints or martyrs in any of the squares. Cathedral worshipping the emperor and Sivir stands here.

Blatter, on the other hand, led a group of members of the Anglican church to the largest and most ornate church in the capital of Biondini.

Blatter strode towards the tall door with many ornate portraits. Two sentries in blue uniforms and large-brimmed hats opened the door and saluted Blatter before he could get closer.

Behind him, the members of the Anglican church also entered the magnificent building.

Blatter crossed the doors that had opened for him, and he led the Anglican behind him to the deepest part of the huge church.

"Pastor Crisp, can we begin?"

That's right, a priest. This was something that Blatter did not expect, and in Blatter's opinion, the empire should at least send a bishop over.

"Sorry, we still need to do some setups. Is this the place you have for us to hold the ceremony? ”

"Can't you?"

"No, it was perfect. You are a very capable planetary governor. The Emperor will be proud of you. ”

This is not a polite word, Crisp's character is not the kind of person who will save face for others.

In his opinion, Blatter is really capable.

When they arrived in Biondini, they were able to arrive in a matter of hours. And from the conversation with Blatter just now, he knew that Blatter had already made a lot of preparations for this operation.

Watching the bustling crowds and buildings in the city along the way, Crisp even thought he was somewhere in Terra.

During the exchange between Crisp and Blatter, some members of the state church began to draw various diagrams here, and took out in their bosoms all kinds of sacred objects that were written with prayers and used in the ceremony.

"I wish I could be the first."

"Of course, Governor Blatter. Soon you will be able to connect with the God Emperor at the soul level. ”

In Crisp's eyes, although Blatter tried his best to hide it, his face was full of excitement that could not be concealed.

Even for a planetary governor, this soulbinding ritual is an exciting thing to do.

In the middle of their conversations, the members of the Anglican had done all the preparations. They each took out an "Emperor Coin" and placed it in the corresponding place.

At this moment, an indescribable feeling welled up in Blatter's heart. It was as if he were in the holiest of holy places.

"Ready? Governor Blatter? ”

"Huh? Well! Is there anything I need to do? ”

"Nope. Relax, I'll take care of the rest. ”

Crisp stepped forward and stood in the center of the many imperial coins, his mouth beginning to recite the sacred prayer.

And the divine energy in those emperor coins began to enter his body and soul under Blatter's perception.

The stains of those subspaces were cleansed and purified by the Emperor's scorching and pure grace, and Blatter's soul seemed to be in the presence of some powerful being.

But before Blatter could perceive it, his soul returned to his body.

"It's over. Governor Blatter. ”

Crisp reminded Blatter at this time. At this time, Blatter was still reminiscing about the wonderful feeling.

"It's over. Governor Blatter! ”

Crisp had to raise his voice and say again.

Blatter, who came to his senses, felt that the ritual was a little brief, but he did feel a slight connection between himself and the emperor.

"It's over?"

"It's over. Next, let the people of the empire on Biondini come here for the ceremony. ”

"Can I watch from the sidelines?"

"As long as you have time, of course."

Organized by government officials and members of the state church, the subjects of the empire in various cities began to come to the churches in an orderly manner to perform this soul-binding ritual.

Originally, the Soul Binding Ritual of the Star Whisperer and the Emperor was prepared after months of fasting, prayer, and rituals.

But now, since Sivir is going to hold this soul-binding ritual in large numbers within the empire, he will definitely simplify and optimize this ritual.

At this time, the state priests in those churches can complete a soul-binding ritual in a few minutes, and a ritual can basically involve thousands of people.

Although these members of the state religion did not have psionic powers, they were able to channel the spiritual powers of the emperor through prayer and various sacred images. Complete this ritual.

It's a bit like witchcraft. Sorcery is out of the Empire's psionic scale, allowing even non-psionics to achieve the same or similar powers as psionics with the right rituals and spells.

Of course, psionics can also use sorcery.

Those who have learned witchcraft will be able to increase their psionic level, even surpassing those of their own kind.

But witchcraft also brings evil spirits, and is common with curses and corruption. This power will make psionics more susceptible to corruption and invasion by subspace.

The energy of chaos will gradually change everything about them through the sorcery they use. This is one of the reasons why the emperor banned think tanks at the Nikaia Conference in the first place.

The cultists often use witchcraft to summon demonic aid on various planets or to open rifts in subspace. After all, not every cultist is a psyker.

But this kind of use by members of the Empire's state religion may have another name - divine magic.
