Chapter 1244 Silent Extinction (As a lazy cat, I don’t even want to write anymore)

"This really surprises me, Your Excellency the Inquisitor."

Palpatine, who appeared on the holographic projection again, seemed very excited, not at all like his usual old fox.

"You actually destroyed the Independent Federation's fleet. This way, we can capture the Independent Federation as quickly as possible!"

"Oh, that's a good thing."

Duanmu Huai seemed very calm—after all, this was part of the original plan.

"So, what are you going to do about those aliens?"

"this……………"

In response to Duanmu Huai's question, Palpatine showed an embarrassed expression.

"I can understand the Inquisition's idea, but frankly speaking, at present, it is difficult for us to completely eliminate all alien races. I think the best way is to first label them as traitors, and then send them to do labor and serve the Galactic Empire..."

"And then you just had nothing to do and suppressed rebellions every few days, right? Are you so free?"

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, interrupting Palpatine, who just smiled awkwardly.

"Of course I understand the dangers of doing so, but if we forcefully implement an extermination policy, it will only cause other species to unite against us... And I think you should also understand that it is almost impossible to completely wipe out all the creatures on a planet. Moreover, our current military strength is not enough to carry out a large-scale sweep of every planet. At most, we can only launch a sweep attack on a gathering place or town. In this case, it is impossible to truly achieve complete extermination."

"Okay, I see what you mean."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand and interrupted Palpatine.

"You mean you can't do it, not that you don't want to do it, right?"

"That's... exactly."

Palpatine looked at Duanmu Huai and gave a bitter smile.

"Then, as long as you can do it, you have no objection."

“……………………I don’t understand what you mean…”

"You'll soon understand."

Duanmu Huai finished speaking and snapped his fingers, cutting off the communication. Then he turned to look at the others. An spread his hands with a calm expression.

"I knew he would go back on his word. After all, from Mr. Palpatine's perspective, keeping those alien races and dividing them would be a good strategy... At least that's what he thinks."

"Stupid idiot, that's why I always look down on the treacherous trick and its followers."

  Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face. He hated those who always liked to play tricks the most, because these guys always had the illusion that wisdom could solve all problems. But in fact, the more they played tricks, the more they would find that human ability has its limits, unless they surpassed humans - well, so they believed in cunning and deceit, and stopped being human!

From a political perspective, Palpatine's idea is actually quite normal, but the dogma of the Inquisition is absolute - the aliens must be exterminated, without exception. And those heretics who dare to stand on the side of the aliens must also be destroyed. Even if the other party is an Astartes or a Primarch, if they dare to get involved with aliens like the Eldar, the Inquisition will purge them without hesitation.

Palpatine may have ten thousand reasons, but Duanmu Huai only wants one result.

Since he is unwilling to do it, the Inquisition should just do it itself. After all, only by doing it yourself can you have enough food and clothing.

"Maria."

Duanmu Huai opened the communication again.

"How's the progress of Project Colossus?"

"Ah, Master Duanmu."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Maria, who was wearing a bright red robe, turned around and reported to Duanmu Huai.

"Project Colossus is progressing very smoothly. The neutron weapon components have been installed. Now all that's left is the experiment..."

"That's good, bring it here directly, we have a lot of experiments to do."

"Yes."

After giving the order indifferently, Duanmu Huai looked at Aikote again.

"Let's head to the Inner Ring System. It's time to let these aliens see the true power of the Inquisition!"

When Duanmu Huai led the First Fleet to the territory of the Independent Federation, the latter did not even react at all. The reason was simple. On the one hand, Lumiel had hacked into the network of the Independent Federation, completely cutting off their reconnaissance. On the other hand, all the fleets were sent by the Independent Federation to fight General Griffith, and there was no defense at all.

This time, Duanmu Huai’s target is the capital of the Independent Federation, Neimoidia!

This is a planet that looks similar to Earth, and the environment is similar, but it looks quite developed. You can see that the entire planet is surrounded by huge metal buildings, and countless lights are lit from them, symbolizing the prosperity of this planet.

However, all this ends today.

"start to act."

Following Duanmu Huai's order, a warship sailed out from the fleet.

Its appearance is quite different from other warships of the Inquisition. If other warships of the Inquisition have churches on their decks, then this warship looks like several huge church buildings built together, and it looks more like a space station.

This is the reward Duanmu Huai received under the natural disaster progress—the Colossus-class battleship!

Maria, wearing a red robe, stood solemnly on the altar at the top of the church tower, with one hand on the holy book and the other holding the incense burner. Then she closed her eyes and prayed in a low voice.

“O Immortal Omnissiah, hear our prayers.

We are your children, devout scholars of the Way of the Mechanic.

We value knowledge above all else, for it is your eternal gift to mankind. We long to receive your blessing in mechanical form and to advance technology in order to manifest your glory.

We are shielded by steel, and protected by your war bringers.

We have traveled the world searching for your lost gift to us.

God of all things, please watch over our journey and protect us with metal and lightning.

For the universe is an unforgiving void, and the Warp longs to devour us all."

Muttering softly, Maria opened her eyes and stared at the planet below.

"Ring the big bell once to start the piston and pump!"

As Maria spoke, the Colossus-class battleship in front of them gradually split up, from a group of church buildings to nine separate church towers, which slowly unfolded to form a circle and kept spinning. The ninth tower where Maria was located was located in the center of the circle, pointing at the planet below like a sharp blade.

"Ring the bell twice, press the button, start the engine, ignite the turbine, inject life!"

The eight tall towers around began to rotate. In the center below them, golden, lightning-like beams of energy began to condense, becoming increasingly dazzling.

"Ring the bell three times, sing in unison, and praise the God of All Things!"

"…………"

At Maria's command, the Revatiers in the various towers clasped their hands devoutly, knelt on the ground, and began to chant sacred hymns. Amid the Revatiers' ethereal and beautiful singing, the huge machinery began to accelerate.

"Everything is ready, Master Inquisitor. We are ready to release the wrath of the Mechanical God at any time and destroy all the impure aliens!"

"very good."

Duanmu Huai nodded and stood up. At the same time, Ogis jumped off Duanmu Huai's shoulder as lightly as a cat, then reached out and took out a roll of parchment from the mouth of the mechanical skull next to her, unfolded it, and presented it in front of Duanmu Huai.

Duanmu Huai reached out, took off the rose knot, and looked at the parchment in front of him.

"In the name of the Inquisition, I hereby declare that an extermination order will be issued against the alien races of the Independent Federation. Their bodies will be destroyed in the flames of Purgatory, and their souls will be refined in the furnace of the Inquisition - for humanity, for the Inquisition."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai pressed the rose-knot mark heavily on the parchment.

"Issue an extermination order!"

“——————————!!!”

The moment Duanmu Huai finished speaking, the eight rotating church towers suddenly burst into shining light. They shot out together and gathered under the ninth tower in the center, condensing into a shining beam of light, shooting straight towards the planet below!

However, this was different from the BFG10000 used by the Inquisition before. The planet hit by the beam did not explode directly. On the contrary, after the beam hit the planet, a blue light flashed from top to bottom, as if it had thoroughly scanned the entire planet.

But this is not the end. After this blue light passed through the entire planet, it suddenly dispersed into several beams of light, spreading out in all directions and disappearing into the endless universe!

“……………That’s it??”

Seeing this scene, girls like Ann, Mary and others were a little dumbfounded. They had seen Duanmu Huai issuing an extermination order before. According to the girls' impression, either the entire planet would turn into a fireball or explode directly. This was in line with their impression.

But right now...why does it feel like nothing has changed?

"Could it be a failure?"

An quietly looked at Duanmu Huai and complained to Gu Leiya in a low voice. The latter also shook her head with a confused expression. After all, Duanmu Huai had said before that this time he was experimenting with new weapons. New weapons must be unstable, right?

"No, it worked."

At this time Duanmu Huai also opened his eyes and let out a long breath. Although his expression did not change on the surface, Duanmu Huai's heart was also in turmoil at this moment!

Damn, I didn’t expect there would be such a change!

  The reason why Duanmu Huai was so surprised was not because of the killing power of the neutron, but because of... Revatiel!

In fact, it was Maria who first proposed to use Revatiel to chant poetry magic when releasing the extermination order. After all, she likes to COS the Mechanicus, and what matters is the sense of ritual. Duanmu Huai also wanted to see what the effect of the extermination order would be after being strengthened by poetry magic.

However, the effect was beyond Duanmu Huai's imagination!

At the beginning, there was actually no change. However, when Duanmu Huai issued the extermination order, he suddenly felt that his flesh and blood seemed to have merged with the Colossus. Amid the chanting of Revatiel's poetic magic, the battleship seemed to have its own will and completely surrendered to Duanmu Huai.

  Just like a loyal soldier, he would ruthlessly destroy all enemies standing in his way as soon as Duanmu Huai gave the order!

You know, this was the first time that Duanmu Huai had this feeling when issuing an extermination order, so he also exerted some of the power of the God of Destruction to strengthen the neutron killing in front of him - after all, this was originally an experiment. When he discovered that he could actually affect the extinction weapon itself, Duanmu Huai immediately thought about trying what the effect would be if he used divine power to strengthen the neutron killing.

And now, he has felt it.

  At the moment when the beam of light hit, Duanmu Huai seemed to have turned into that beam of light, watching the neutron plume sweeping across the entire planet mercilessly, and all life completely dissipated in the face of this powerful force. And their souls also merged into Duanmu Huai's divine domain amid endless wails and screams, and entered the furnace of the Tribunal, adding fuel to it!

But that’s not all!

After all life on this planet was destroyed, the neutron beam did not disappear. Instead, it quickly split up and went to other planets, continuing to kill all life!

If there was no bonus effect from Duanmu Huai's power of the God of Destruction, the neutron annihilation could only be used on one planet. However, after Duanmu Huai applied the power of the God of Destruction to it, this neutron annihilation had completely become a divine attack!

Unless there are indigenous gods or galaxy gods on a certain planet who can withstand this kind of attack, the neutron annihilation with the bonus of Duanmu Huai's divine power will only ruthlessly sweep across all planets and destroy all life!

Well, that's an exaggeration, in fact it is impossible.

Even with divine power, this neutron annihilation only swept across three galaxies before disappearing. After all, even divine power must obey the law of conservation of energy.

  But this also means that all life in these three galaxies has been destroyed! And their souls have become the energy in Duanmu Huai's divine domain!

"call…………………"

Feeling the divine power surging in his body, Duanmu Huai let out a long breath.

Just one attack, combined with Revatiel's poetic magic and his own divine power bonus, actually had such an effect?

  Ok?

etc……………

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai's eyes suddenly lit up.

He remembered that in the weapon assembly, there was also a weapon called God's Judgment, whose main function was to strengthen faith and kill all non-believers.

Since neutron annihilation is combined with the power of the God of Destruction, this effect can be achieved.

  So what would be the effect if he used the Judgment of the Gods in combination with the power of the God of Pleasure or the Old Ones?

Oh... at this moment, Duanmu Huai suddenly became a little impatient!
