Since the ship that Hades himself had in mind was still in the Rust system, the broken sword was temporarily placed in the static force field of the black ship, guarded by the soulless layers.

Hades decided to find an opportunity to ask the figure king if he would accept the sword, and if he didn't, then throw it directly into the star.

The emperor didn't seem to be satisfied with Hades's arrangement, although this broken sword had a rather unbearable past, but if Hades was asked to translate what the emperor said to him, it would be-

Because of the special nature of this broken sword, it can quickly reattach to a new subspace meaning, and even on a physical level, this broken sword is a first-class sharpness.

This strengthened Hades's determination to throw this sword out, this sword is so good, why don't you want it, emperor?

And after catching this big fish on the first night, there will no longer be a target as big as that night in the perfect city.

Based on the identity of the corpse that night, Hades managed to find a small cult with a small number of people, and most of them were Corchis, who were older.

Through screening, Hades was able to determine that this was Colchis, the mother planet of Luojia, and that there were remnants of religious sin from the past.

As for why there is a religious legacy of Colchis in the City of Perfection...... By controlling the Planetary Governor's access to various data investigations, Hades easily discovered that most of these people were members of the entourage at the bottom of the Legion of the Bearers, and then the personnel were stationed in the City of Perfection.

Several of the Whisperers would communicate with the members of the organization from time to time, and after deciphering the cult's own language, Hades saw the name of the Whisperer's chief priest without a doubt—

Erebus.

And as Hades digs, more and more clues point to the name.

…… Hades is ready to be executed.

【Law of Faith】

In recent days, Luojia had been feeling his mind restless, and some kind of low premonition of panic had seized him, making it difficult for him to concentrate his thoughts on prayer.

But it wasn't supposed to be like this, Luojia thought that their legions were about to shine the light of the God Emperor on a civilization, and it didn't take a single soldier, as it had been repeated hundreds of times before, and Luojia persuaded them that they were willing to convert.

He should have been calmly rejoicing at this, he was not a general, he was not a man who liked blood and fire, and if one of his many brothers could say bluntly that he did not like force and was not good at war, then that person could only be Luojia.

The other brothers were either addicted to violence or ashamed to point out this to themselves.

Only Luojia was able to accept this calmly in her heart and rejoice in this realization of herself.

But now...... A long-maintained calm was shattered, and an ominous premonition descended, with a hazy sense of powerlessness.

Luojia felt uneasy, and the original body carefully hid this emotion, but there were still people around him who knew him well enough to find this uneasiness.

On the seventh day of Luojia's meditation room, his adoptive father, Colfaron, and the chief priest, Erebas, knocked on the heavy marble door.

The rich smell of blood wafted into their nostrils, with a strong salty smell.

Luojia knelt there in silence, holding the Word in one hand and the thorny barbed whip in the other, the rough whip hanging low, sticky blood dripping from above.

He was clad in a dark reddish-brown robe of linen, the rough fabric clinging to the original skin, blood soaking through them, then drying and tearing again.

The original body did not look back at the two uninvited guests, he held his head high and questioned the statue of the emperor hanging high in the center of the room.

Colfaron and Erebus, of course, knew what to do in such a situation, and they sat down on the floor without blood in silence.

The primordial voice's voice eventually stopped, and Luojia gasped, and after a long silence, his breathing became steady again, and he stiffened to his feet, and hung up his whip again.

Then he turned and looked back at the two visitors calmly, the surface of the lake without waves in his golden eyes.

The original body sat on the ground, holding the book of the Sacred Word in his hand.

"It's the seventh day, my lord, are you alright?"

Colfaron was the first to speak, and Luojia felt that the old man's words contained a hint of a father's concern for his son.

[I tried to get calm, but ...... Something was going to happen and my soul was so disturbed. 】

"What are you worried about? Under your guidance, the Legion successfully took planet after planet without leaving a single trace of blood. ”

A smile tugged at the corner of Luojia's mouth,

[It's not just me, Erebus, my chief pastor, we wouldn't have gone so well without you. 】

[But,]

Luojia shook the holy word in his hand, and the heavy book seal gave him an inexplicable sense of security.

[This victory did not bring me peace, I tried to pray, but my faith did not answer me, on the contrary...... He became ...... Unfamiliar. 】

Colfaron looked at the original body worriedly, his voice trembling a little,

"Him...... What happened to Him? ”

Luojia shook her head slightly,

[It should have been what had happened to me, and I could clearly perceive my abnormality, just as in Colchis, in those dry, deep and endless nights, the ignorant boy woke up from his dreams in horror, and found that his eyes and ears were dripping with a faint glint of golden blood. 】

Luojia looked at Colfaron, as Luojia's adoptive father, Colfalon could clearly see the pain behind the calm,

[At that time, I took this as a prophecy of the gods, and I was the chosen believer, and I remember vividly how I felt back then, and now—they have returned, and they have come back and enveloped me again. 】

After Luojia finished speaking, she covered her eyes with her hands tiredly and wiped her face deeply.

And just as the Primordial's gaze was aside, Colpharan and Erebath looked at each other—they were clearly confused by what the Primordial was perceiving, and the stars were moving as the gods had directed...... It shouldn't be this moment.

Did they change their plans? However, for reasons of prudence, the two did not place a medium to connect with the gods in the Legion of the Speakers—they were all properly placed in the corners of the planet under the Spokesman's control.

Finally, Colfaron spoke cautiously,

"My lord, what do you think...... What does this mean? ”

Luojia shook her head,

[I am still trying to understand Him, but self-punishment and scourging have gradually lost their original benefits, and meditation and self-enlightenment have become ...... It was vague and hazy, as if he was ......]

Luojia's voice gradually became lower, and finally he stopped, saying nothing.

A long silence enveloped the blood-soaked room, the flames of the charcoal brazier crackling, the brass instruments of torture glistening in it, what Colfaron and Erebus should have said, this is how they had guided the primordial's heart for so long.

But the Original's words made them suspicious, and they didn't get the news of the enlightenment in advance...... Why did the gods act early? Or ...... The gods didn't do anything about it?

Eventually, Erebus pursed his chapped lips, and he spoke,

"My lord, you are always worried about the right thing you are doing, but there is no doubt about it, we will sow the truth according to the prophecy, and the wise gods will reward the believers—and this may only be a temporary miscondition for you."

Luojia opened her mouth,

True believers need no reward, the truth itself is the greatest reward He has given us, Erebas. 】

Erebus smiled,

"Yes, my lord, that's what I intended, we—"

A hurried knock at the door interrupted him, and the chief priest furrowed his brow in displeasure.

[Please come in.] 】

A priest was standing in the doorway, sweaty, his eyes full of horror, and he stumbled,

"Your Excellency—you, you need to see a message in the Star Language—the City of Perfection, the City of Perfection has sent us a message for help."

"They say—they say that the Emperor of God has ordered the burning of the City of Perfection, and that those who have spoken it should immediately return to the City of Perfection to be punished."

Luojia stood up suddenly, and the Word Record on his lap fell to the ground with a muffled "thud".

It's a little late, yes, isn't it.

By the way, why does the pattern on the broken sword want to be Barbarous, because on the planet Davin, Horus was immediately stabbed at that end, and in the original book, [like Barbarus] was abruptly used to describe Davin's fog - but in that episode, the death guard, Barbaros can only be said to be eight poles that can't be beaten - so here I feel that Nurgle is connected to Barbarus.

And the language of the four gods is also very similar to Colchis, which was also chosen in advance.
