Warhammer 40k: Collector of Terra

Chapter 38 The Demon Prince’s Conspiracy

It is not easy to bypass the surveillance of the [Inquisition] and [Assassin's Court].

But with the help of a certain radical [Grand Inquisitor], Fulgrim secretly gathered the high lords into the secret room at the bottom of the Anglican Church.

The [Cyborg] possessing the consciousness of [Mars Casting General] sat on the stone seat, looking at every high lord present with mechanical prosthetic eyes glowing with dangerous red light.

A suffocating silence filled the dark and deep space.

After a long time, a harsh friction sound broke the silence here!
The gears buried in the stone wall began to move. Driven by the pistons and mechanisms, the stone door engraved with the emperor's icon suddenly opened.

Bright light poured in from the gaps in the church, and melodious and pure hymns echoed in every corner of the space.

[Pope of the State Church] Decius and another old man with a life-support device inserted into his body slowly walked into the dark secret room.

A ray of breeze lifted the corner of the old man's clothes, revealing the iron runes inlaid with the skull emblem under the clothes.

This is a kind of jewelry called [Rose Knot]. Looking at the entire empire, only members of the [Tribunal] are qualified to wear this kind of jewelry.

"Desius, why are the people from the Tribunal here?" [Director-General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs] was shocked and angry.

Although not yet crowned, the Primarch, capable of lifting the Emperor's Sword, has already become the de facto Regent of the Empire.

The mere sound of the charge of "murdering the Imperial Regent" is enough to make even the weakest of minds feel intimidated.

Everything about this conspiracy must be hidden in darkness! ! !
Once the [Assassin's Court] or [Inquisition] are aware of the high lords' intentions, what awaits them... will be excommunication more terrifying than death!

"This is our ally!" Fulgrim's expression remained normal, "The Grand Inquisitor, Elvis Lancelot."

Each Grand Inquisitor has his or her own ideas on how to defend the Imperium more effectively!Therefore, from the day the [Tribunal] was established, many factions were born within this organization.

Elvis comes from the extreme faction within the Tribunal [Human Sovereign Faction]!
This extreme faction pursues the concept of "pure human supremacy"!For them, all species except pure humans must be destroyed.

Note the word "purebred" here!
In other words, in addition to aliens and chaos, even astropaths, navigators and mutants are also targets that this faction needs to eliminate.

And the Grand Inquisitor, who personally participated in this conspiracy, is even more extreme among the extremes!
Elvis Lancelot believed that the Primarch created by the Lord of Man using the power of the Warp was not pure.

The Primarchs, Astartes and even the Custodes have all broken away from the concept of "humanity", so they are all targets that the Grand Inquisitor needs to eradicate.

There is no doubt that this is a breathless statement of cerebral palsy!
Under normal circumstances, this obviously abnormal cerebral palsy would never be able to reach the position of [Grand Inquisitor]!But the territory of the empire is so vast that this situation is inevitable.

This conspiracy, which was enough to plunge the entire empire into turmoil, was held under the auspices of "Desius".

The high lords explained their thoughts and at the same time put their own values ​​unabashedly on the table.

Among the many high lords, [Mars Forge General] is undoubtedly the most radical one.

The other high lords just want to hold on to the power in their hands!But the Martian Forge General wanted to completely kill the Primarch through a war.

The Forge General's extremely radical plan coincides with the idea of ​​the Demon Prince [Folgrim].Every Primarch has an extremely tenacious will!To try to corrupt a son of the Emperor with depravity and desire is simply a joke.

Fulgrim's plan is to use these stupid high lords to kill the original body in the physical universe.

The psychic shock generated when the original body fell contained terrifying energy, and combined with the blasphemous ritual that Fulgrim had already prepared...

The holy emperor's son will be directly upgraded to a demon prince!The great Slaanesh will send his blessing, ushering it into the castle of pleasure to enjoy eternal carnival.

……

[Mars Forge General] is the spokesperson of the Mechanicum in the Council of High Lords.

As a powerful figure in the Mechanicus, General Forge controls six [Intelligent Control Legions] and nearly [-] Mechanicum [Skitarii].

Coupled with the Mechanicus fleet anchored in the Martian starport, the Forge General indeed has the ability to threaten the Primarch.

The purpose of the existence of the [Grand Inquisitor] is to add an insurance policy to the plan to kill the Primarch.

The [Grand Inquisitor]'s battleship [Black Oath] carries a bipolar cyclone torpedo used to execute the Extermination Order.

If nothing can be done, the Black Oath will launch cyclone torpedoes at the Primarch's fleet.

Even the powerful Emperor's son cannot escape the fate of being reduced to ashes in the face of the terrifying power of the cyclone torpedo.

Killing a son of the Emperor was undoubtedly an extremely crazy plan.

What the high lords want is just to keep the power in their hands!But the crazy plans of the Forge General, the Grand Inquisitor, and the Ecclesiarch frightened these mortal lords.

"No, this is too crazy!" There was a hint of panic in the eyes of the [Director-General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs], "Even if this plan succeeds, we will never escape the liquidation from the Astartes and the Forbidden Forces!"

The mortal lords began to think about retreating, but how could Fulgrim let this group of weak mortals ruin his plan?
[Prince of Pleasure] Slaanesh holds the power of desire and corruption!The most powerful ability of a Slaanesh demon is its ability to amplify the desires in a creature's heart, seducing and corrupting them without even realizing it.

As Slaanesh's favorite demon prince, Fulgrim naturally inherited this terrifying ability to play with people's hearts.

Under the inducement of the Demon Prince, the souls of the mortal lords have been blinded by corruption and desire!In order not to take away their power, the mortal lords were determined to kill the Primarch.

The conspiracy of chaos is approaching quietly!But the loyal ones are completely unaware of all this.

……

Deep in the sea of ​​souls.

The Primarch's fleet had been sailing through the Warp for three Terran months.

Great power from the Lord of Mankind protects the Primarch's fleet!Even though the [Geller Stand] used by the battleship to isolate the subspace has been damaged, no Chaos Demon dared to provoke it.

After a long journey through subspace, the original body’s fleet has arrived at the center of the Solar Star Domain!
