【Kadia】

It's 30k now, and the Empire hasn't set foot here except for the Iron Warriors, and Kadia is still a slowly rotating planet in the Eye of Fear.

This is a quaint planet, in a way, this planet is very suitable for the development of human civilization, there are large areas of temperate forests, grasslands, and plains suitable for farming, however, there is no decent human civilization developed on it.

As the Stormbird landed, Luojia had seen the locals lurking in the folds of the earth with the astonishing sight of the primordial body, who looked rude and wore some religious ornaments.

Luojia frowned without a trace.

Perturabo invites him to meet with the Iron Warriors' newly discovered "vital planet", where it appears that the Iron Warriors are trying to build a military installation.

Luojia didn't know why this world, at the junction of subspace and the physical world, was important, or why Perturabo insisted on building a trench here, but he thought that before that, Perturabo should at least educate the locals.

Stormbird rested on the dry plains north of Cadia, and Luojia stepped out of the Stormbird's ship, and through the dry transparent air, he saw Perturabo and the massive alien building behind him.

What is that?

Luojia thought to herself, and with a gentle smile, he strode over to his brother, and Perturabo stepped forward to welcome him.

They exchanged a few brief pleasantries, and then Perturabo's gaze crossed over to Luojia, and he looked at the Praeteran Army who was behind Luojia on a guard duty.

[This is the ...... What's going on? 】

Perturabo's mouth moved slightly, and only the two of them could hear the voice.

Luojia was facing away from the Forbidden Army Vidana, he knew that the Forbidden Gatekeeper couldn't see his expression, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, and he hung there awkwardly,

[A failed prayer.] 】

Luojia said softly, and at the same time he walked forward quickly, as if avoiding the gaze of the forbidden soldier,

[He was ordered to join the Legion of the Whisperers after the Perfect City incident, and I can understand him even though I have repeatedly declared my loyalty to my father, but he still does so. 】

Luojia looked at Perturabo's eyes with a strange glint that made him feel cramped,

[Understand him?] 】

Perturabo raised his voice in disbelief,

[He sent someone to spy on you, and you still wish—]

Luojia's eyes widened in astonishment, and he quickly stepped forward to try to grab Perturabo's arm, motioning for him to stop talking.

But Peturabo ignored him, and the Iron Lord shook his hand, allowing Luojia's attempt to pounce, and Peturabo's dark gray eyes looked at the forbidden army, and he said in a cold and provocative tone,

[Did the emperor let you spy on Luojia's conversation with me?] 】

The voice of the Praetorian Vidana sounded in a dull voice,

"It's my job."

Perturabo smiled sarcastically,

[This is just a brotherly recollection, when will the conversation between the original bodies be able to be monitored?] 】

Before Vidana could make things worse, Luojia hurriedly spoke,

[For just a few minutes, I think the God-Emperor has given you the freedom to act freely, Vidana.] 】

At the same time, Luojia strode forward quickly, and the figure of the forbidden army shook, but was stopped by Angeltai in front of him, and the Bearer stood silently on the path of the forbidden army's advance with two spears on his back.

Eventually, Vidana had no choice but to watch as the two primordials walked into the depths of the wasteland, laughing and talking.

————————

[I've always wanted you to see this, that's why I invited you to this planet.] 】

Perturabo spoke, his gaze looking into the distance, and Luojia saw a roughly dressed native walking towards them, surrounded by Iron Warriors.

It was a tall woman, her eyes were a strange violet, and the dry tan skin was sewn into her clothes in layers, and the clothes were densely covered with dried blood.

Luojia's brow furrowed indistinctly, as if he was ignoring Perturabo beside him, and his eyes were fixed on the female tribal chief.

What do you see? 】

Peturabo whispered in Luojia's ear, and Luojia was still frowning, her eyes full of confusion,

[Colchis language?] 】

Colchis, the home planet of the original Luojia.

Luojia whispered, "That's, Colchis?!" 】

Why is a female primitive, from a remote star field, with Corchis written on her clothes?

And as the woman approached, Luojia's eyelids twitched without a trace, and he recognized that the tan skin was sun-dried human skin, and the words on it were pagan prayers!

The Emperor of the Gods!

Luojia gripped the scepter in his hand as Perturabo looked thoughtfully at Luojia beside him, and the Lord of Steel spoke,

Do you know those words, brother? 】

Luojia gritted his teeth, his scepter was ready to move, this blasphemous existence shouldn't have survived for so long!

He gritted his teeth and said,

[She is a blasphemous paganist, my brother, you know what I'm going to do-]

[Wait,]

Peturabo interrupted Luojia,

Why do you know these words, Luojia? 】

This briefly detached Luojia from his dissatisfaction with seeing heresy, and he returned to his initial doubts,

[Coincidence? 】

Luojia said uncertainly, staring at the prayers, the words becoming more and more familiar, he had seen them in Colchis before.

【…… Similar heresies did exist in Colchis before I unified them, but I purged them with the faith of the God-Emperor. 】

Luojia said solemnly,

[Listen to me, brother, maybe you can't understand the power of faith, it deliberately makes the weak strong, and it can also make the strong fall, I can now be convinced, the text on the native's body is a heretical prayer, you should kill her.] 】

Luojia paused, and then his tone softened,

[Brother, maybe you couldn't recognize the words on it before, but now you know that there are blasphemous sentences, those cultures that should be burned to the ground.] 】

Luojia had been staring at the heretic, but suddenly he seemed to realize something, and he turned his head to look at Perturabo, and found that Perturabo was also frowning at him,

The Iron Lord waved his hand, signaling the Iron Warrior to stop holding the native.

[I mean, Luojia, why is it so coincidental? Is this really a coincidence? 】

Luojia choked, and then he seemed to speak with some annoyance,

Are you doubting me? Brothers? Even you don't trust me? And the evidence you call is that there is a language on any planet that speaks the same language as Colchates? 】

Peturabo innocently spread his hands,

I'm just worried about you, I'm curious about what's going on in the City of Perfection - you've changed too much, Luojia. 】

Luojia took a deep breath, and he said angrily,

[My heir was corrupted by Colchis's former heresy, and the God Emperor saved me, as well as my legion, that's it! 】

Peturabo paced to himself, and he said slowly,

"I still can't understand your faith, brother, I mean...... Even after all that happened, why are you so persistent? 】

Luojia sighed, and he said sincerely,

[I don't believe in the truth of the Empire, brother - this world has gods, and the God-Emperor is the savior of mankind, He created the original body, created the Space Marines, and then launched a great expedition to revive the entire human race, He is selfless, He is a god, and we should follow Him and submit to Him. 】

Perturabo was silent for a moment,

I don't think he's a god. 】

He said firmly.

Luojia shook his head slightly, he had argued with countless primordials countless times on this topic, but he would still stick to his opinion.

He is,]

Luojia said,

Only God can perform miracles. 】

He heard Perturabo laugh softly, which made Luojia feel slightly offended, and Luojia was a little angry.

[With all due respect, that's just what a powerful psionic can do.] 】

Peturabo said,

[Pretending to be a ghost...... Why are you the only ones who are serious? 】

Peturabo's language grew sharper, and Luojia frowned.

[You and I both know that it is far beyond the reach of man, and I have discussed this with Magnus, who has personally admitted that the power of the God Emperor is beyond the reach of ordinary psionic beings, and even Magnus cannot reach his realm. 】

[Not to mention......]

Luojia's words paused,

[Maybe more than one ......]

He said in a low voice, and Luojia thought of the Hades King, the corrector under the throne of the gods.

[Perhaps.] 】

Peturabo's voice rang out, and Luojia didn't know exactly what he was answering to Luojia.

Peturabo said,

Allow me to ask an offensive question, brother, why did you choose to believe in him? 】

Luojia was a little impatient, and he spoke,

I didn't choose Him. Rather, He chose me—He showed the way for His believers, giving them the strength to survive and struggle. 】

Luojia turned her head and saw Perturabo staring straight at him, his eyes flashing with colors that he couldn't see, and Perturabo's hand was casually resting on his waist.

[Sounds interesting.] 】

Perturabo said pertinently, and before Luojia could refute him, the Lord of Steel changed the subject in time,

[Let's take a look at the alien buildings I recently discovered, I think these are more interesting than the natives who are chattering with gods.] 】

Perturabo said nonchalantly, glancing at the nativeess and asking the Iron Warriors to lead her to the front,

[After I show you around, you can execute her directly in front of that alien building, in fact, there are many such primitive people on this planet, I gathered them all in front of that alien building, and these people are at your disposal. 】

Peturabo was not interested, but in an instant he changed the subject, and his tone rose again,

[You should come and see this, I recently discovered them, the Blackstone Obelisk, these structures seem to have been built by some more ancient race, they are scattered near the Eye of Fear, and they can emit a force field to hinder the dispersal of the turbulence of the subspace. 】

Peturabo walked briskly forward as he spoke, and Luojia had to keep up with Perturabo's footsteps quickly, but he didn't have much interest in what Perturabo said, he listened in silence, thinking about how to rid the planet of heresy.

Luojia didn't know why Perturabo's conversation jumped so much, and the words of the Iron Lord flew in his ears.

[These buildings are quite ingenious, according to my calculations, if these obelisks do not suppress the subspace of this area, if they are destroyed, then half of the hazy star field and a small part of the extreme star field will fall into the subspace turbulence. 】

[But what interests me even more is that]

Peturabo said,

[The polarity of these buildings can be reversed, they can amplify subspace, and if we change the polarity of these phalanxes, then the damage they can do will be even more profound.] 】

Luojia froze suddenly, and he looked at Perturabo with some subtlety.

[That sounds dangerous.] 】

【Yes,】

Peturabo naturally interfaces to,

So I'm glad you can come, brother, the Iron Warriors alone can't fully control this area. 】

Luojia smiled, but then he felt something, he seemed to hear a bird howling, a roar, a whisper, a gasp.

He turned his head and stared at the obelisk they were walking towards, which didn't look like it was running.

[Is that obelisk running?] 】

Luojia turned his head to look at the obelisk and asked abruptly, and out of sight, Perturabo laughed contemptuously,

[I was checking the obelisk, but then I decided to welcome you first, brother.] 】

The two primordials walked as they spoke, the dry earth cracked and sparkled little scars under their feet, the black stone tower was about to arrive, and Luojia heard the shouts of the people on the back of the tower, it was Colchis, they were shouting-

"Kill him!"

Luojia opened her mouth suddenly,

[Peturabo, contact your guard at the Blackstone Tower.] 】

He watched anxiously as his brother turned on the channel, but only a cacophony of Colchis sounded on the other end of the channel, and it was the first time that Luojia had seen such an angry Perturabo as he heard the whistle of the Iron Warriors rally.

[Let's go and see first.] 】

Peturabo said gloomily,

[Don't let them destroy the obelisk.] 】

Luojia nodded, they began to run, and in a few moments, the two primordials arrived at the battlefield, Luojia saw the corpses of nine iron warriors, those natives were trying to paint blasphemous signs on them, the undried blood was painted on the ground as a circle, and the woman was directing them just now.

Luojia roared, of course he knew what was going on, he knew that these bastards could use sorcery - no, they were sacrificing!

Where the subspace and the physical world are stacked, sacrifices will literally summon those beings!

They had to be interrupted before the sacrifice was complete, and Luojia rushed over without hesitation, with two primordials present, and unless the natives would use witchcraft even more powerful than Magnus, it would be a battle without any suspense.

Luojia waved his scepter, and several mortals who roared blood sacrifices rushed towards him, their muscles were abnormally strong, but Luojia just waved his scepter, and the sound of a broken skull rang out.

The wizards disturbed him with insignificant sorcery, but Luojia was unmoved, and he rushed straight into the center of the rudimentary altar, where the woman was dancing wildly, tearing at her skin like mad.

Without a moment's hesitation, Luojia smashed the scepter down on the alien race, and at the same time—

Airplanes!

The blackstone obelisk suddenly began to move, and a violent arc of electricity rose, with strange fluctuations of psionic energy, and in just a moment, the space here was distorted and trembled.

Luojia's eyes were dark for a moment, and when he regained his perspective, he saw the scepter piercing the woman's body, and the dying native was smiling and staring at him,

"Hello, Luojia."

She said softly,

"My name is Ingesel, and we should have had a more wonderful acquaintance in our original fate."

Luojia was expressionless and wanted to withdraw her hand, but the woman's strength became extremely strong, the woman's body began to crumble, her skin quickly festered, white bones pierced muscles, and some other existence seemed to be about to burst out.

The distorted space whispered in Luojia's ear, time seemed to be stretched for a long time, and for a short time, and he heard another fate, heard the gods...... No, no, no, Luojia silently recited the blessing of the God Emperor in his heart, which made him feel a little better, and he tried to retreat immediately, away from this place of distorted spiritual energy, but the next moment-

[Peturabo? 】

Luojia turned her head slowly in disbelief.

He had never thought about it, he heard Perturabo's footsteps, and he thought he was here to help him.

Luojia saw the expressionless Perturabo, his gaze down, and Luojia saw the slowly oozing red on his back.

I'm busy today, and at the same time I'm thinking about ending this plot, and it's even later.

The result is still not over, and tomorrow will definitely end Petura Boluojia's side to open the main line at the same time.

It's a bit sloppy to use less space in the matter of the original body, but I don't have enough capacity.

ps, I think someone is confusing the Maelstrom and the Eye of Fear.

pps。 30k Kadia is the territory of Chaos, the place where the Whisperers "open their minds" in the first days of heresy.
