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

Palpatine appeared very excited when he appeared on the holographic projection again, not at all like his usual old fox self.

"You actually destroyed the Independent Federation's fleet. In 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 originally planned.

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

"this……………"

Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Palpatine showed a troubled expression.

"I can understand the thoughts of the Inquisition, 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 escort them to do labor. In the service of the Galactic Empire..."

"Then you have nothing to do and work for three days to suppress the rebellion, right? Are you so idle?"

Duanmuhuai snorted, interrupting Palpatine's words, and the latter just smiled awkwardly.

"Of course I understand the dangers of doing this, but if we forcefully implement the extermination policy, it will only make other races unite to deal with us... Moreover, I think you should also understand that if we want to completely eliminate all people on a planet, It is almost impossible to kill living things, and our current military strength is not enough to carry out a large-scale comprehensive sweep of every planet. At most, we can only launch a sweeping attack against gathering areas or towns. In this case, it is impossible to truly do it. To achieve total extinction.”

"Okay, I see what you mean."

Duanmuhuai waved his hand, interrupting Palpatine's words.

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

"This... is exactly what it is."

Palpatine looked at Duanmuhuai and showed a wry smile.

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

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

"You'll understand soon enough."

After Duanmuhuai finished speaking, he snapped his fingers and cut off the communication. Then he turned to look at the others. An, on the other hand, spread his hands and looked calm.

"I knew he would go back on his word. After all, from the perspective of Mr. Palpatine, it would be a good strategy to keep those alien alien races and then divide them... At least he thinks so. of."

"Stupid idiot, so I always look down on the treacherous and its believers."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, with a look of disdain. He hates those guys who always like to play tricks, because these guys always have the illusion that wisdom can solve all problems. But in fact, the more you play with tricks, the more you will find that human abilities have limits, unless you surpass human beings - well, so I believe in cunning and cunning, and don't be a human being!

From a political point of view, Palpatine's ideas are actually 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 opponent is an Astartes or a Primarch, if he dares to get together with aliens such as Eldar, the Inquisition will purify him without hesitation.

Palpatine may have ten thousand reasons, but Duanmuhuai only needs one result.

Since he is unwilling to do it, then the Inquisition should do it on its own. After all, only by doing it on its own can we have enough food and clothing.

"Maria."

Duanmuhuai opened the communication again.

"How's the progress of Project Colossus?"

"Ah, Lord Duanmu."

Upon hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Maria, who was wearing a bright red robe, turned around and reported to Duanmuhuai.

"The Colossus project is progressing very smoothly. The neutron weapon components have been installed. Now all that remains is the experiment..."

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

"yes."

After giving the order indifferently, Duanmuhuai looked at Aikote again.

"Going to the inner galaxy, it's time to let these aliens see the true power of the Tribunal!"

When Duanmu Huai led the First Fleet to the territory of the Independent Federation, the latter did not even react at all. The reason is very simple. On the one hand, Lumière hacked into the independent federation's network and completely cut off their investigation. On the other hand, all the fleets were sent by the Independent Federation to carry out General Griffith's operations, and there were no defensive measures at all.

And this time, Duanmuhuai's target is the capital of the Independent Federation, Neimoidia!

This is a planet that looks similar to Earth in appearance and has a similar environment, but it looks quite developed. You can see that the entire planet is surrounded by huge metal buildings, with countless lights lighting up from them, symbolizing the prosperity of the planet.

However, all this ends today.

"start to act."

Following Duanmu Huai's order, a battleship was seen sailing out of the fleet.

Its appearance is quite different from other warships of the Tribunal. If other warships of the Tribunal have churches on the deck, then the warship in front of you looks like several huge church buildings have been completely built and put together. , looks more like a space station.

This is the reward Duanmu Huai received during 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, one hand on the holy book and the other holding the incense burner. Then she closed her eyes and prayed in a low voice.

"Immortal Omnissiah, please listen to our prayers.

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

We value knowledge above all else, because it is your eternal gift to mankind.

We long for the blessing of mechanical form and for continuous technological progress, so that we can show your glory.

We are protected by steel and protected by your war messengers.

We work tirelessly to find the lost gift you gave us among the stars.

God of All Machines, please guard our journey and protect us with metal and lightning.

Because the universe is a ruthless void, and the subspace is eager to devour us all."

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

"Ring the bell once, start the piston and pump!"

Accompanied by Maria's voice, the Colossus-class battleship in front of them gradually split, from a group of church buildings to nine separate church towers, slowly unfolding to form a circle, and constantly rotating. The ninth tower where Maria was located was located in the center of this circle, pointing at the planet below like a sharp blade.

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

The eight towers around began to rotate, and in the center below them, golden, lightning-like energy beams began to condense, becoming more and more dazzling.

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

"………………"

Under Maria's command, the Revatiers in each tower clenched their hands devoutly, knelt on the ground, and began to chant sacred hymns. In the ethereal and beautiful chanting of the Revatiers, the huge machinery began to accelerate.

"Everything is ready, Judge. We are ready to release the wrath of the God of Machinery 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 him, unfolded it, and presented it to 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 Tribunal, 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 Tribunal—for mankind, for the Tribunal."

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

"Issue an extermination order!"

"——————————!!!"

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

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

But this is not over yet. Just after this blue light passed through the entire planet, it suddenly dispersed into several beams of light that spread out in all directions and disappeared into the endless universe!

"……………Just like that??"

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

However, at this moment... why does it feel like nothing has changed?

"Is it 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 succeeded."

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 turbulent at this moment!

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

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

In fact, Maria first proposed to chant poetic magic when releasing the extinction order with Revatiel. After all, she likes to COS the Mechanicus, and what matters is a sense of ritual. And Duanmu Huai also wanted to see what the effect of the extinction order would be after being strengthened by poetic magic.

However, the effect exceeded 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 be integrated with the Colossus. In the chanting of Revatiel's poetic magic, the warship seemed to have a soldier with its own will and completely surrendered to Duanmu Huai.

Like a loyal soldier, he only waited for Duanmu Huai's order, and he would ruthlessly destroy all enemies standing in front of Duanmu Huai!

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

And now, he has already 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 was completely dissipated in the face of this powerful force. And their souls also merged into Duanmu Huai's divine domain in the endless wailing and screaming, and entered the furnace of the Tribunal to add fuel to it!

But this is not over yet!

After all the life on this planet was destroyed, the neutron beam did not disappear, but quickly split apart and went to other planets to continue to kill all life!

If there is no added effect of Duanmu Huai's God of Destruction, then the neutron annihilation can only be used on one planet, but after Duanmu Huai applied the God of Destruction's power to it, this neutron annihilation has completely become a divine blow!

Unless there are indigenous gods or galaxy gods on a certain planet that can withstand this attack, otherwise the neutron annihilation under the added power of Duanmu Huai will only ruthlessly sweep all planets and destroy all life!

Well, it's exaggerated, in fact, this is impossible.

Even with the blessing of divine power, this neutron annihilation only swept three galaxies and disappeared. After all, even if it is divine power, it 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!

"Huh........."

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

Just one attack, combined with Revatiel's poetic magic, plus his own divine power addition, actually has this effect? ​​

Hmm?

Wait……………

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, which was mainly used to strengthen faith and kill all non-believers.

Since Neutron Killing combined with the power of the God of Destruction can achieve this effect.

Then if he uses God's Judgment combined with the power of the God of Joy or the Old Ones, what will be the effect?

Oh………At this moment, Duanmu Huai suddenly couldn't wait!
