Chapter 1316 On the way (ZZZ was too tired to play and rest)
With dazzling glory, the space was completely destroyed. The battleships of the Inquisition also evacuated and began to move towards their established target location.
Sden sat in the room without saying a word. He stared at the pendant in his hand, which was a pendant made of three green gem fragments. If Duanmu Huai was here, then he would definitely recognize that one of the pieces was taken out by him in his disgusting brain before.
Now, they are one.
“Dongdongdongdongdongdong.”
The knock on the door sounded, and Stearn raised his head, put down the pendant in his hand, and stared at the door.
"Please come in."
Soon, the door opened, and then Inquisitor Carla walked in, she looked at the pendant in Sden''s hand, who handed it over.
"How are our guests? What are the inspection results?"
In the end, Judge Stein kept his promise and brought Duanmuhuai onto his warship. But this does not mean that he will just relax his vigilance against this mysterious judge. The place where he appeared, his mysterious and powerful strength, everything will arouse the judge''s vigilance.
So after coming to the warship, Stein inspected Duanmuhuai on the excuse of providing medical services.
"Condition………"
But beyond Stein''s surprise, Kara''s expression was very strange.
“The situation is weird.”
"Freak? What does weird mean?"
"The medical team conducted a full-body examination on him, but the results were surprising. There were no traces of his body being modified, nor were his genes contaminated, and there were no mechanical implants all over his body. He…”
Speaking of this, Kara paused.
“…He is pure.”
“………Are you sure???”
I have to say that this answer really shocked Stein. He thought a lot about the origin of Duanmu Huai. Maybe he is a veteran in the Inquisition, or maybe he is an internal senior member of a Inquisition. But no matter which one, he should have done any modification.
Not to mention genetic pollution... Although the Inquisition rarely uses genes to judge, it is because there are too many planets conquered by humans, and the environment of each planet changes too much. So much so that the human genes within the empire have almost some degree of mutation and pollution, and the truly "pure" human genes seem to have only appeared in textbooks.
"So what''s going on with his power a?"
Stein himself is also a judge and also has the power A. Naturally, although the power A of the judge is different from Astart, he also needs to install some mechanical implants and neural connection systems.
"A complete external mechanism, according to the investigation report of the Mechanical Sage, his Power A uses a very unique technology. Although some traces of Mars technology can be seen, there are still some incomprehensible parts."
Speaking of this, Kara stared at Stend.
“What should we do?”
Of course, Stear understood what Carla meant. It was obvious that they encountered a difficult problem. This time the Inquisition mission was originally to investigate and resolve a plague that occurred on the planet Nest. They found this place according to Kara''s prophecy of psychic talent. According to the prophecy, as long as these fragments are gathered, the sealed secret can be opened and the Nest Capital planet can be saved.
For Stearn, this is his most important task as an inquisitor.
But now, Duanmu Huai''s appearance made him feel embarrassed.
Whether it is on the space waste ship, Duanmu Huai''s strong combat effectiveness, or the incredible data obtained during the investigation, it shows that this judge must be a very important figure. Considering the uncertain time of the space waste ship, this judge may well be the existence of the Great Rebellion.
After all, as a judge, Stearn is also very clear about the history of the court. The Inquisition was established after the Great Rebellion, and it took a long time. The Inquisition has the power to expel and destroy the demons, and these powers come from... Thinking of this, Stein glanced at the heraldry of skeletons and warhammers that he hung.
Because Duanmuhuai traveled through a wave before the Great Rebellion, the appearance of the Inquisition in this world was completely different from the original one. After the Great Rebellion, the Empire fell apart, and the shadow of the demon covered the Empire''s double-headed eagle. Therefore, when people discovered that as long as they hold the skull and the image of the warhammer and eliminate the demons in the name of the Inquisition, they could really kill the other party completely, the belief in the Inquisition naturally blossomed on all sides of the empire like mushrooms after a rain. It was under the protection of the Inquisition that the empire survived that the most difficult years.
However, good times did not last long.
Once the external threat is lost, people will naturally tend to fight in the middle. The influence of the Inquisition Court was too huge in the entire empire, which caused uneasiness among many nobles, lords and others. In addition, the Inquisition Court''s style of doing things was too unpopular, so after the threat of the demons subsided, many people began to think about how to deal with and suppress the strength of the Inquisition Court.
So the state education appeared.
The state religion respects the emperor as a **** to suppress the court of justice. Originally, the state religion also hoped to absorb the judges into the state religion in this way.
As a result, they discovered something very embarrassing.
If they destroy the demons in the name of the emperor, they will only exile the demons.
Only by destroying the demons in the name of the Inquisition can the demons be completely killed.
No one can explain why this is, even the high lords and arbitrators cannot understand it. When they established the state religion, they just thought that the Inquisition also believed in the Emperor of God, but they did not regard this as a slogan.
And now it seems...well, it is obvious that people don’t use the God Emperor as a slogan, which is obviously not for political and religious reasons.
So after that, a turmoil that affected the entire empire broke out.
The State Church publicly claimed that the Inquisition was heresy, serving the filth of betraying the God Emperor, and called for a holy war to completely eliminate these disrespectful people.
Of course, the judges will not give up. They understand the meaning of the state religion. The state religion tries to use this method to suppress the trial court and eventually take it into his pocket.
However, the status and power of the Inquisition are all built on their ability to eliminate the demons, and the Grand Inquisitors are certainly unwilling to give up their power.
So the civil war broke out.
This civil war lasted for five thousand years and affected all the territory of the empire. Both sides killed their eyes red and blood flowed into a river. Fortunately, after the demon took the opportunity to enter and planned to completely destroy the empire, both sides still had to put aside the dispute and unanimously address the outside world. In the end, they paid a heavy price to drive the demon''s expeditionary army out of the empire''s territory.
After this, the Inquisition and the State Church had to shake hands and make peace under the mediation of other forces (including but not limited to Astarte, the Silent Nun, and the Mechanical God Cult). And after this, a round of changes to the doctrine was chosen. Simply put, in a brand new doctrine, the double-headed eagle of the Empire has a new meaning.
One of the heads represents the state religion, and the God Emperor protects the souls of his people.
The other head represents the Inquisition, which judges the expulsion and elimination of enemies that threaten the empire.
Well, both sides took a step back and reached a compromise, until now.
As the judge, Stein understood the political meaning of Duanmuhuai.
Not to mention anything else, a pure human being, who has not been polluted, transformed, has a powerful force, and is also a great judge!
The senior officials of the court must be laughing to the point of being fucked. It’s hard to lose this game!
Now they have two choices, either give up the task and send Duanmuhuai to Terra immediately. Either complete the task first, and then take Duanmuhuai to Terra.
After all, that involves a Nest Capital Planet, hundreds of millions of lives.
In the end, Stearn made a decision.
"Please come over and talk."
When Duanmuhuai walked into this room, he did not wear power armor, but was wearing a black dress of the judge. If there is anything that satisfies Duanmuhuai in this timeline, it is that the clothes here are relatively generous. He has decided to pick up a few pieces when he has time to take them with him, so as not to go back without any clothes to wear them.
After all, the clothes of the court are still very particular about the cards.
Sitting opposite Stein, Duanmu Huai also listened to him analyze the current situation, and then raised his eyebrows.
"If I understand correctly, your action this time is for a nest capital, and an unknown plague broke out there - how could you think of finding that...thing?"
“This is a prophecy.”
Kara said.
“We sought help from prophecy, and wanted to know how this happened and how to solve it, so prophecy took us to find these fragments.”
"So you came here specifically for this and then got this thing together?"
Duanmuhuai fiddled with the pendant on the table and threw it aside.
"Forget it, let''s go to the nest first. I think you may have messed up this matter."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Duanmuhuai’s complaints, Judge Stein reached out to signal Kara not to speak, but looked at Duanmuhuai.
"Don''t you believe in prophecy?"
"To be honest, I never believe this thing, and I don''t even want to listen to it. The reason is very simple. If the prophecy cannot be changed, then it will be useless if you listen to it except for seeking trouble. If the prophecy can be changed, then it is different that you can hear it. It''s simply like listening to your words."
Duanmu Huai curled his lips and snorted lightly.
"After all, prophecy is a kind of cheating. You feel that you are desperate, so you want to get answers through cheating - but cheating will inevitably lead to punishment, especially those psychics who always like to make prophecy... Moreover, if you don''t write the answers during the problem-solving process, you will not give points, and you may even lose points."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai glanced at Kara.
"I suggest you don''t always take prophecy too seriously. Ignorance is sometimes the best weapon to deal with threats. In the final analysis, it''s useless to know how much you know. A big enough fist is the truth. If you don''t have a big enough fist, then your cleverness is purely seeking death in front of the evil demons in the subspace - there is an old saying, "Looking for heresy."
“…………”
Kara opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn''t say anything, just lowered her head silently.
Dunmu locust birds are not even birds with Duanmu locust birds, which is like this for stupid psychics, especially those idiots who like to predict the future. Duanmu Huai does know some plots, but he doesn''t care. His actions rarely go to change the plot, and often they are to make himself stronger.
Just as Duanmu Huai said, as long as you are strong enough, ignorance is not a problem.
On the contrary, if you are too weak, knowing too much will only become a problem.
This is how those prophets are. When the evil **** wants to play with her, that is what it means to play. But what can you do if the evil **** doesn’t want to play with it?
Can you beat it?
Of course you can''t beat it.
So you can only accept the other party’s explanation of fate obediently.
Just like "the final right of explanation belongs to our company", if you are not able to hang the street lights on the other party, you can only bear it obediently. No matter whether the other party points to a deer or whatever, you have no other way except to accept it.
But you have to have a way to hang the street lights on the other party - the right to explain is in your hands at that time.
It’s your turn to refer to a deer as a horse.
I said this is a horse, it''s a horse, you either accept it or die.
This is the power of power.
And power - comes from violence.
Duanmu Huai withdrew his gaze and looked at Stein.
"Go to the nest capital, I hope there is still a rescue there."
Then he spoke.
