This day is a day of great significance for the residents of the City of Perfection.

The Emperor of Humanity personally visited the world called Kuhl.

It is the brainchild of the Lord of the Seventeenth Legion, the jewel of Loga's palm.

[City of Perfection].

It is the glory of the Seventeenth Legion and a monument to which every bearer is proud. Each of its bricks and stones symbolizes the will of the Bearer to die for the truth, and as the name of the Legion suggests, it is a miracle created by the hands of those who have the truth in their hearts.

This city that radiates divine light symbolizes the unprecedented rationality of the entire galaxy, it represents the perfect combination of imperial truth and imperial divinity, it symbolizes all the aspirations and expectations of the Prophet for the future, and it is also the promised land that all those who believe in their hearts dream of - it is Jerusalem, it is Avalon, it is the ideal land flowing with milk and honey, it is the acceptance and tolerance of the Seventeenth Legion by the Lord of Mankind, and it is the end of the pilgrimage of all believers.

No one knows what the presence of the Emperor means—a gift of untold love and mercy to His devotees, or a knowledge of truth, or a divine test that no one can know?

But His mere presence is holy enough.

Just as the countless poems in the Book of the Divine Word praise the one who opened up the galaxy, mortals and angels do not have to try to guess the true meaning of that god, and it is already the greatest miracle that He can walk in the world and spread reason and faith to all mankind.

For several Kur standard days, everyone in the city ceased any meaningless activity, silent chantings, reverberating chants, and even the thirteen strikes of the sacred bell, and there was only endless silence in the whole city, because the Savior who walked among the stars was here.

The splendor of religion and the splendor of reason bloomed at this moment, and everyone prayed in the candlelight and incense, whether noble or poor, because they all had the same devotion in their hearts.

Each of them caught a glimpse of the golden glare in the night sky, the majestic fleet that symbolized the Lord of Mankind, and even in the night sky of Kuhl, the people who believed in the truth of the empire and the word of the Emperor ceased to fight with each other at this moment.

Yes, in terms of official propaganda, the expanding empire of mankind is a secular regime that propagates and expounds "truths" about science and reason, rather than "lies" of religious belief and idealism – yet the benevolence of human emperors is everywhere, and the establishment of the City of Perfection is one of them.

The Imperial Tolerance accepts the vast majority of the world that is willing to submit to the truth of the Empire, and as long as they are willing to abandon all the religious lies of the past, then it is naturally within the permission of the Ministry of Justice to transform the truth of the Empire into a statement that conforms to the ideas of the local world.

After all, aside from the extremely filthy alien forces, the Human Empire has so far not regarded those pagan forces as too big a threat, and even the many pagan casting worlds that dotted the starry sky in the Age of Strife have continuously resummed the glory of the Imperial Double-headed Eagle.

Strictly speaking, the Empire attaches far more importance to the propagation of imperial truths than to the sanctions and suppression of paganism.

Even the original religious beliefs on the home planet of some of the original genotypes were preserved when they returned to the empire - the bal of St. Giles and Nukeria of Elaine, these ancient beliefs in the world still exist, and the people of these worlds still believe that the existence of those genetic protogens is the gods who walk in the world.

It can be seen that the only things that matter in the Great Expedition are efficiency and speed.

So much so that Logana's almost fanatical belief in the 'truth of the Empire' as nothing, and the truth that the presiding man of mankind is divine, was also freely proclaimed with the acquiescence of the Emperor.

Until the coming of the 'Day of Judgment.'

……

Angol Tai's eyes were tightly closed, and the hull swaying in the turbulence of subspace seemed to reveal the uneasy mood of the Bearer.

"I still can't believe it... We will receive such an order. ”

He muttered softly.

“… Unbelievable. ”

Beside the company commander of the Sawtooth Sun Band, several of the Bearers sighed in unison.

They were equally unable to understand the command.

A few standard days before the Day of Terra, the Bearer received a star-language communication that could be described as doom.

It comes from the Holy Terra, and it comes from the will of the human emperor.

It delivered an incomprehensible order to the Seventeenth Legion.

Destroy the City of Perfection. 】

In fact, upon receiving this astral communication, the astral officer in charge of delivering the message was instantly killed by the enraged priests - each of whom did not understand why the human emperor would have inflicted such a heavy doom on them.

The City of Perfection was the soul of the Seventeenth Legion, the resting place of each of them, but now the Emperor has severely punished the Bearer for this great achievement.

The flame of suspicion burned in the heart of every Astarte of the XVII Legion.

Even their genetic protogen, the end point of their faith link, the Lord of the Seventeenth Legion, Loga, was barely shut up after receiving this news.

No one knew what was going on in his mind, and no one knew what the Bearer was going to do from now on.

However, the Whisperer's fleet still sailed into the subspace lane.

They sailed towards the hazy star field, towards the perfect city that every believer longed for.

- Yet those who preach the truth are now going to destroy all the 'truth' they take as a warning in the name of truth.

How sad.

……

In the wide square in the center of the city, the faithful gather: the chanting of prayer and the reverberation of the bell constitute their devotion to their thoughts, and the eyes that are always closed represent their restless and nervous minds.

It was the early morning of the thirteenth standard Kur Day after the emperor came to the perfect city, and no devout believers wanted to miss this holy mass, and the dense crowd of thousands of people was almost an indescribable sea of people.

Until the roar of the sky woke people from their prayers, and they all looked up to the sky.

It was a falling star.

It dragged an overly dazzling tail flame, its blazing light glittering in the hazy night sky.

It wasn't until people finally saw what the stars had brought—endless rain of iron and whistling iron birds wandering freely, and the shadows of the fleet, which obscured the sky, aimed their guns at the sacred churches.

It symbolizes the will of the gods.

It brings the wrath of the gods.

It is the punishment for transgression.
