I don't want to watch!

Black Sanctuary Company Commander: "..."
Oh well, nobody knows anyway!
After a considerable period of internal strife, the Space Marine captain ultimately chose to cover it all up.
As long as nobody knows, that's fine!
First, quickly delete the video of the emperor's apparition when no one is around!
At worst, he can repent for his sins in the fortress monastery and kill a few more of the Emperor's enemies to prove that his loyalty to the Emperor is pure and unadulterated!
"us--"
The company commander, who was about to turn his head, was horrified to see that the Black Saint Brother seemed to be getting impatient from waiting for too long, so he chose to connect the servant's data to his own Thinker array.
Because he was facing away from the screen, he couldn't see what the other person was seeing at all... But seeing the shock on his face, which was still clearly visible even under the helmet, the Black Sanctuary's company commander sensed something was wrong.
"Company commander... what, what is this?"
"It's exactly what I saw in the video feed from the machine servant connection. What, did you see something else in this video?"
"no!"
The fighting brother suddenly denied it loudly: "I saw nothing but the great emperor!"
"Emperor, yes... it's the Emperor."
After a moment's pause, the company commander abruptly asked, "What kind of image does the emperor have in your eyes?"
The other person suddenly shuddered at this question.
"...Company Commander? Why are you asking this?"
"Answer my question!"
"I...I saw the Emperor's radiance...or at least it looked like the Emperor's radiance, and the mortal crew and strike teams were all captivated by it...I saw the great Emperor slowly emerging from the light, and he seemed to be accompanied by an equally robust Space Marine..."
None of them addressed the core issue, namely, the emperor's specific appearance.
"The Emperor... was a burly man, that's right, wearing heavy, gleaming gold armor, wielding a longsword that shimmered with the fire of righteous wrath and lightning-powerful claws. His figure was so large—no, so imposing, that it made me feel a little breathless just looking at him."
That's right.
In his eyes, the emperor was exactly the same as the emperor in legends and church reliefs. Yes, that's right.
"Besides that, what else could an emperor be? You agree, right... Company Commander?"
"Company Commander?"
"Ah! Hahaha, of course! In my eyes, the emperor is also so tall and majestic, and has a breathtaking beauty... I mean charm, charm, charm that makes people want to follow him."
Hahaha.
For a moment, the entire cabin of the black ship was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
......
The matter of the black ship being stormed into the courtroom was simply left unresolved.
The search and interrogation conducted by the Black Sanctuary Astartes Company Commander, who had rushed back to the scene, yielded no useful leads.
Even all the records and documents inside the Black Ship were destroyed for unknown reasons.
No one has ever seen these things again.
People were simply telling tales of a miracle that descended upon the black ship of the Inquisition, and what they saw was the mercy and grace of the great emperor.
The tall and handsome emperor, clad in gleaming golden armor, pardoned all their sins and purified the filth of every crew member.
Even those suffering from serious illnesses and disabilities could be successfully rejuvenated under this imperial radiance.
Of course, the emperor also brought judgment upon the ship.
Inquisitor Serx's private cell was activated by the Emperor's Wrath, and all the people and creatures imprisoned there instantly rushed into the entire Black Ship.
Despite the court's attempts to suppress the matter, the number of people involved was simply too large—Judge Serks had imprisoned far too many unconvicted individuals in his private courthouse... including even his superior, Judge Ferrein, the court's special envoy who was supposed to oversee the suppression of the Badab rebellion.
They even locked up their boss?!
"I never expected it to turn out like this..."
"However, it is also a good thing that the Badab problem can be resolved peacefully—Huron himself is quite capable, and if he can become a loyal guardian of the Empire, the Great Vortex will no longer be afraid of the harassment of the Chaos dregs."
"Sir, can-"
"We will make new arrangements after the fleet at the front has finished clearing out the Great Whirlpool."
"As for now, the court has more urgent tasks to handle."
Judge Ferrer, who had already announced his unfortunate death, reappeared before everyone and gave orders.
He immediately issued his instructions after reviewing the existing documents.
Judge Ferrer recalled that, at the very moment he emerged from the stasis field, he saw the Emperor's prophecy about the future.
Although the emperor's image was somewhat... impressive, he still remembered the other's warning.
[Stop the Minotaur Chapter's carnage in the Pale Galaxy and maintain the fragile peace with the tyrant of Badab.]
This is an imperial decree!
Although this emperor... looks somewhat...
Not as imperial as some people think.
"Prepare ships and weapons. All members of the Counterinsurgency will accompany me to the Pale System to stop the Minotaur Chapter's operations."
"Going right now!"
......
Inside the black ship, in a torture chamber unknown to anyone.
This is where the Space Marine company commander is located.
"Company Commander, what are you doing? Those are instruments of torture used in the trial court, things used on the most heinous and unforgivable criminals!"
"It's nothing, I can handle it."
"There are no pain gloves in the black ship... take this as punishment for me."
"But! Company Commander, you haven't done anything wrong, so why use the Pain Gloves to punish yourself?"
Hasn't he made any mistakes...?
The Black Sanctuary's company commander fell silent.
No.
From the moment he saw "The Emperor," this company commander of the Black Sanctuary... he... he—
He had already made a mistake.
How could the emperor... the emperor appear so beautiful, so perfect in his eyes!
He should only have pure reverence and affection for the emperor, not like this, seeing a scantily clad, burly emperor on the screen of the Thinker's array!
This is wrong; this is heresy!
He should have known, and he had thought so too, but just not quite—
It feels so good!!!
sizzle.
"Ah ...
From the interrogation room of the Black Ship came the agonizing screams of the Black Sanctuary company commander.
He was also recalling the beautiful emperor he had seen on the Thinker's screen earlier.
Or... after the company commander finishes using it, he can go up and punish himself too.
......
Endymion Galaxy.
This area falls under the jurisdiction of the Mantis Warriors. As one of the Guardians of Badab, this chapter enjoys a degree of autonomy over the region.
Despite some tensions following the signing of the peace agreement, the Red Scorpion Chapter from the Human Empire is preparing to send a diplomatic team to the other side, stationed at the local camp until the cleanup of the Great Vortex is completely finished.
"Now, with Red Scorpion's protection, the Inquisitor's men shouldn't be able to track us here."
On the transport ship, two Red Scorpion Chapter Space Marines in full armor walked and talked in the passageway.
After several twists and turns and with the help of the Red Scorpion Chapter, Kasgar and Tetus successfully infiltrated the group.
"So, our mission is simply to become special envoys of the Human Empire? Is it that simple?"
"Tetus said."
He preferred the simple and effective task of killing a few animals to the task of being a diplomatic envoy.
"Of course not. If it were truly just an envoy delegation, someone else would have replaced us, but—"
“A man-eating shark swimming in the void has its eyes on this place.”
According to Inquisitor Serks's secret documents, the two warbands sent by the High Lords to assist, the Shark Warband and the Minotaur Warband, were not easy to deal with.
If handled improperly, the already fragile peace could vanish in an instant.
Fortunately, for a Minotaur warband that only obeys the High Lords and the Inquisition, Kasgar successfully awakened Inquisitor Frenen and, in the name of the Emperor, compelled him to restrain the Minotaur's actions.
As for the Man-Eating Sharks... they are heading to the Endymion system of the Mantis Warriors.
If left unchecked, the Man-Eating Shark will, in accordance with Highlord Vandir's will, plunder the Endymion system of the Mantis Warriors for blood tax and resources to enrich itself.
Especially since the main force of the Mantis Warriors has already gone to the Great Vortex to sweep as ordered by Otis, the leader of the Red Scorpion Chapter, the defenses in the rear are now very weak. The Endymion system, which has lost its protection, is like prey, locked on by the Man-Eating Shark.
"You should have heard of the name of the Man-Eating Sharks. They are known for their bloodlust and cruelty. They show no mercy even to former citizens of the Empire."
"The only targets they set their sights on are those destined to be torn apart and die completely."
Once their massacre unfolds in the Endymion system, the fragile agreement maintained between the two sides is likely to break down on the spot.
"We must stop them."
us?
Titus was somewhat stunned.
He wasn't afraid... but rather, he hadn't seen anyone more unaware of fear than himself in a long time.
"...Just the two of us?"
"That's right, just the two of us."
......
Still on that black ship in the courtroom.
Grin.
With a slight flicker, unnoticed by everyone, a figure lurking in the shadows slowly moved forward.
Grey Knight.
They arrived with extreme secrecy; each Grey Knight was a powerful psionicist. By concealing their psionic power, they could temporarily avoid some unnecessary trouble.
The Grey Knights came here primarily to investigate a rumor that had spread from a nearby star sector.
Some have witnessed the Emperor's divine power beneath the hive city—the demons were instantly driven away by the burning golden-red flames.
The trading ship suddenly returned from the warp, and the crew believed they had seen the Emperor in his centaur form.
Not long ago, an even more sensational rumor originated from here.
The Emperor's miracle descended upon this black ship of the Inquisition.
The Grey Knights need to retrieve the evidence.
This time, lurking in the shadows, he set his sights on an ordinary crew member.
With the help of psychic powers, he was able to easily read other people's memories and experiences, and investigate the truth behind the Emperor's miracle.
