Chapter 310 Only People Can Save Themselves

Under the gaze of the Holy Light Brotherhood guards, three huge figures of Calvin passed through the antechamber of the main hall of Saratan's palace.

After joining the Honor Guards waiting there, they went straight to the apse chapel where he suffered and died.

The two commanders of the Astartes and the leader of the Sisters of Battle had gathered here. After hearing Calvin's iconic heavy footsteps, they silently separated to both sides and saluted Calvin.

Cardinal Clarence stood at the end of the crowd, still immersed in the sadness of the death of his master. He was surprised that Calvin stopped in front of him.

He looked up, and a huge silver palm was spread out in front of him, with Saratan's scepter and seal on it.

"Take them and inherit his will. Sadness is a useless emotion, courage and responsibility are the best consolation." Calvin looked at the mortal in front of him and said, and then waited for him to take the relics in his hand.

"God bless you." Clarence knelt on one knee and performed the Eagle Salute, then lifted up his hands and took the scepter and seal from Calvin's hand. The two cardinals accompanying him also knelt down to witness this special handover of power and responsibility between two generations of the Supreme See.

The hymns outside the window were still loud, and the chants echoed with the ringing bells.

Under the bright sunshine, the air in the hall was so bright that even the dust was clearly visible under the rays of light. Many children of the Emperor at the foot of the tall statue witnessed the beginning of a ceremony.

After Clarence closed his eyes and prayed and recited the holy words in his heart, he raised his head and met the pair of silver eyes full of thunder.

"Exercise your rights and fulfill your responsibilities. The subjects of the empire need your guidance, and he also needs you to use this successful ceremony as the last journey to the Golden Throne."

"Your will!"

Clarence held the scepter in his hand and bowed humbly to Calvin.

He turned to look at the two cardinals and the high-ranking people present, and began to take over the scepter and change his identity at the feet of the Emperor's holy statue.

The two cardinals beside him also chanted the Holy Word in unison, while putting the huge ring seal on him and draping the white inner robe symbolizing the Holy Seat on his back.

Starting from the entrance of the chapel, the guards of the Brotherhood of Holy Light knelt on one knee in a neat manner, with their swords on the ground, and stretched out to the end of the distant vision. After receiving the signal, the holy bell on the dome of the highest hall in the City of Grace was completely rung 13 times to indicate the departure of a saint.

The sudden ringing of the bell interrupted the mood of the celebration crowd, and the meaning of the 13 bells also made those who knew about it feel sad and sorrowful.

At this time, the ceremony needed Clarence to come on stage to comfort people, and the simple power handover ceremony ended hastily under the witness of everyone.

And the new supreme administrator Clarence turned around again and raised the scepter to Calvin and bowed slightly in front of his chest, and then walked out with the two cardinals who had already regarded themselves as subordinates.

It's time to end, Calvin thought.

But before that, there is one more thing to do...

The moment Clarence's voice resounded throughout the City of Grace, Calvin turned around and took the hammer from Allen Janus under the gaze of a group of battle sisters and Astartes, and then walked to the front of the Emperor's Holy Statue.

The Honor Guard behind him also stood in two rows behind him in a neat and synchronous manner, spontaneously following his kneeling posture and began to pray synchronously.

The members of the entire Grey Knights Legion felt Calvin's call, and the psychic projection formed by the huge Legion's will appeared again.

A silver moon appeared above Ophelia 7 in the subspace, and the fanatical torrent of faith on this planet in reality was once again considered to be gathered, but after the projection of the Astronomican in the direction of Terra, it did not disappear as before.

It was waiting, waiting for the response from that sacred.

Boom!

Long after the bright torrent of faith shot towards Terra, a purer and more violent beam of light returned from the bright Astronomican in the field of vision.

The will of Calvin and his Grey Knights was almost instantly disintegrated under the impact of this force, and Calvin himself, who played a core role in it, was the first to bear the brunt, and even his real body suffered great damage.

"Redemption..." Calvin spat out a mouthful of blood, and struggled to support the power of this energy in his will.

Under the sudden outbreak of psychic fluctuations, the momentum on his body with his back to the crowd was as deep as the sea, making the nuns who had witnessed the rebirth of Saint Celestine burst into tears, and the Astartes with the blood of the Primarch kneeling on the ground.

"Redemption!" Calvin's voice did not spread in the air of the hall, but it was stirred in the minds of everyone who saw it through the soul.

Under the impact of the huge wave, his face was covered with sweat, but under his will, this "grant" from the Emperor was once again refracted by him and fell on the land of Ophelia 7.

The clouds in the sky were swept away under the influence of this power, and the warm light of the stars penetrated the air and shone on the imperial subjects of the entire planet.

The evil spirit left by the evil god from the depths of the warp was like melted ice and snow under the illumination of this power. The demon hosts lurking in the crowd wailed and spontaneously combusted without wind, becoming torches of humanity filled with holy flames.

Yes, this is the biggest reason why Calvin attaches great importance to this celebration.

Because this is also the only solution he has found to the many pollution risks left by this corruption after trying every possible way.

Of course he knew how the Inquisition dealt with Chaos pollution. It was not so much the isolation of Chaos as it was the human race's desperate attempt to survive in the face of an unstoppable disaster.

When looking at humans from a racial perspective, this huge, bloated, tough, tenacious monster is certainly not afraid of the power of gods;

But what about the tens of billions of people on the planet Ofelia 7?

Once they suffer this fate, how many people will die due to wrongful killing when they cannot tell the difference, how many people will reach the place of imprisonment alive, and how many people will die while traveling long distances?

Calvin could not accept this happening before his eyes, because it proved the futility of his existence and efforts, and it negated all the noble sacrifices he had seen and known.

Only through another huge celebration like the one just now could he briefly communicate with the divine through the faith of the crowd;

Only the one who is revered by all the people of the empire as the common master of mankind has the ability to prevent the tens of billions of innocent people on Ophelia 7 from being purged and isolated in the future, so as to prevent the spread of chaos pollution. sad fate.

But the conditions for this kind of salvation are so harsh that not even Calvin could support them alone.

In essence, it is not just a help from Calvin or a gift from the emperor, but also the self-salvation of the people of Ophelia.

Yes, the premise of all this is that the people here are pious enough; the basis of all this is that the people here are worthy of saving.

Only faith can lead to salvation;

Only faith is its own reward.

This sentence is vividly displayed on Ophelia No. 7, the holy capital of the state religion at this moment.

The same words were engraved in the hearts of all the people in that small chapel who witnessed Calvin's feat.
