In the area ruled by the Empire of the Stars, there is such a group of people, they are different from ordinary people, they are excluded and spurned by society, they are called - heretics!

Roth Harvey is a heretic under the laws of the Empire, who carefully hides what sets him apart from others.

Such as thoughts that are more active than others, such as being able to feel the flow of psionic energy.

There were many heretics like him, and they formed an organization.

The organizational structure is loose, and the members are not usually in touch with each other, but in case of emergency, they will get together and get through the difficulties together.

On this day, as in the past, Roth got up and washed.

Seven o'clock.

Lot began to eat breakfast.

Eight o'clock.

Roth was just about to go out when he noticed that the icon of the information on his communication device flashed. Grereni sent him a message.

Grereni was also a heretic.

After receiving psionic transformations, his limbs became so large that they could almost fit three rots.

In the same way, his strength is so great that it can hardly be measured by human standards.

However, usually Grereni basically does not contact him. Suddenly contacted today, something must have happened.

Roth turned on the communication device and saw two words written on it - Run!

Rot's heart jumped, and he tried to contact the other party, but he couldn't get through to Grereney's phone.

He tried to contact the other heretics, but except for a few odd ones, they couldn't get through.

Roth's heart sank.

He picked up his clothes and sent a message to the few heretics he had been able to contact and who were relatively close, agreeing to meet at the Grereni house.

Roth got the fastest ticket to the province where Roth is located.

On the plane, while there was still time, he made up for sleep. But I haven't been able to sleep well. Ever since he was blessed by the God of All Things, he has been dreaming, and the world in his dreams is strange, and there are cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods of everything.

Roth pressed his temples with some irritation, taking these as a little after-effect of his blessing.

After all, compared to the first half of his life when he was riddled with illness and suffering, he feels that his condition has never been better.

At six o'clock in the evening, Roth arrived at the door of Greini's house.

By this time, several other heretics had arrived.

Seeing Roth, several people were obviously relieved.

One of the purple-skinned heretics had apparently hurried over before he could hide his oddity.

Roth said: "Didn't you get in touch?"

"Except for a few here, they're basically out of touch."

The bruised-skinned heretic said, "Let's go ahead and see what the situation is, Glerini's strength is not weak, and it is impossible to disappear quietly."

The rest agreed, but Roth seemed to be a little sober and entered differently.

"What if the people who killed Grerenie? We're just going to go in and die. ”

The blue-skinned man looked a little unhappy, but he had to admit that what Roth said made sense.

The strength of these people is at most a little different from ordinary people, but in the face of those guys, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Moreover, when those people saw these heresies, they would not give them a chance to escape, and chasing them to the ends of the earth would also destroy them.

"But if you don't go in, how do you know what you've been through?"

Evie didn't speak, thinking about it.

At this time, the blue-skinned xenomorph said, "You wait here first, and I'll go in and find out what is going on." I ran fast, and even if I did fight them, I would still be able to save my life. ”

The rest of the people looked a little disapproving, but there was no better way to do it, so they had to agree.

Roth didn't speak, his right eyelid jumped, and a feeling of unease rose in his heart.

It's as if something is coming.

He almost tried to stop the bruiser skin, but in the end the other party entered the neighborhood.

Roth: They stared nervously at the screen of the communication device. Watch as the purple-skinned companion enters Grerenie's home.

But as soon as they entered, the screen of the communication equipment turned wildly, and it took them a long time before they realized that the mobile phone had fallen to the ground.

The phone camera is facing the ceiling. The head of a blue-purple skin xenomorph can be faintly seen in the corner.

There was blood splattering on the ceiling.

It can be seen that he is trying to stand up, but he seems to be pressed to the ground by a strong force, and he can't move.

The ominous premonition in Rot's heart grew stronger and stronger.

I only heard the sound of "tower bar" and "tower bar", and sharp like nails on the blackboard. The sound of rubbing on it.

An ugly monster appears on the screen.

Perhaps because of the angle, the monster looked unusually tall, its dark green skin swollen and covered in grape bulles and pus, its small scarlet eyes flashing with a murderous glow from time to time, and saliva leaking from between its sparse brown teeth and dripping onto the floor.

Lot only heard a sizzling sound, like the sound of a corroded floor.

Suddenly someone screamed, and Roth saw that there was a group of people behind the monster.

Wearing their iconic black and red combat uniforms, they pressed the monster to move, and then showed a "hideous" smile to Roth and the others on the screen.

"Hello, we are the Imperial Inquisition Law Enforcement Team, and in the name of the Führer, you are wanted!"

Hearing this, the faces of the few people waiting outside the room instantly turned extremely pale.

"What are you afraid of, who are ......"

Their eyes were full of hesitation, as if they were swaying whether they could escape or not.

But when Shen Sen saw them in prison, the final result was self-evident.

"New Heresy ......"

Shen Sen looked at the monster in front of him and couldn't help frowning.

This corruption was brought about by a new evil god in the empire called the God of All Things, and in the mouths of his followers, the evil god was called the Father of Corruption, or the Father.

According to the information gathered by the Inquisition, the evil god seems to be cold, accepting the faith of any believer, and not being stingy in blessing his followers.

Although in the eyes of believers, this is a blessing, but in the eyes of normal people, this blessing makes the believer's appearance full of abscesses, the skin will melt at the slightest contact, and the believer's body will be swollen due to various unimaginable viruses.

In order to support their shattered flesh, these people always wore heavy clothing to prevent the outflow of internal organs, making them look larger than the average person.

Of course, this change will take time, and for these people, the Star Empire will give them a chance to perform the so-called exorcism ritual.

Exorcism rituals are a method of using psionic energy and ritual power to expel subspace creatures that occupy humans.

For those impregnated with the power of the subspace, possession can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as weak willpower, depravity, abuse of psionic powers, defilement of the flesh, etc., which can weaken mortals' defenses against subspace entities, creating a rift that allows them to stretch out their sinful hands.

The process of corrupting mortals can range from seconds to years, but the consequences can last a lifetime.

First physical torture, then the power of destruction envelops the soul and becomes possessed by the forces of chaos, making it a plaything for the entertainment of demons.

Exorcism is not a common process, as the vast majority of people possessed by demons are dangerous and may even corrupt others.

But some of the lucky, or unfortunate, enchanters will be caught performing exorcism rituals, using psionic energy to force the demons away.

This is a risky task for both possessed and exorcists, as the forces of chaos will use any means to prevent their exile, and some will die during rituals or become the next host.

Even if the ritual is successful, successfully stripping the vicious parasite from the human soul, the withering and scars left by the demon's possession will never heal, and many people will die of shock due to sequelae, and more will choose suicide due to mental breakdown.

The words and actions of these exorcists are a constant reminder of the horrors that will befall the rest of the Inquisition if it loses its battle against Chaos.

Those few who survive and can heal their souls with their will will will find themselves extremely resistant to subspace corruption, and some claim to be able to detect the traces of corruption around them, feel the ripples of subspace, and hear the demons whispering to them. Those who wish to be cleansed of their sins will join the Confessional Army or the Penal Corps of the Church and seek a righteous death.

With such a big risk, the Inquisition's carrying out the exorcism ritual is naturally not doing a good deed.

Most Corruptors will actually become guinea pigs in the Inquisition, doing physical and psychological research in their cages to find out what kind of flaws are causing them to be targeted by demons.

The lucky few who succeed in the ritual will take a dark path, turning their weaknesses into strength and battling chaos and demons with their lives running out.

These people will become servants of the radical Inquisitors, studying the knowledge of the forbidden books and fighting against the malice of the subspace.

Some of the more well-behaved exorcists are able to master some secret knowledge of their own that cannot be explained, or detect the presence of subspace contamination in their cargo, become witch hunters, search for people with psionic talents, or rely on their knowledge as experts in forbidden knowledge.

For Shen Sen, this is also a way and method to deepen his understanding of psionic energy and subspace.

Only by knowing enough about it, deep enough, will the stars be able to find a way to address the weakness of human consciousness and resist the corruption of subspace.

With a surge of psionic energy, after a miserable continuous howl, the exorcism ritual ended successfully.

When Roth was dragged out of prison, he was lucky enough to survive and become a gifted psionic.

Then he met the greatest ruler of the empire.

"You will receive my forgiveness and the opportunity to serve the stars."

In the midst of Roth's intense gratitude and rapidly growing fanatical beliefs, the supremacy of the Star Empire determined the course of the rest of his life.
