Chapter 374

"Where are the Imperial Guards? Where are the Imperial Guards? Why didn't they stop him!"

The new Minister of the State Council questioned his entourage in a low voice, but anger and panic almost filled his chest, so that the volume that should have been controlled began to rise uncontrollably.

The fleet did not stop at the State Council as he expected, but went straight to the Throne Court?

What does this mean? Breton didn't dare to think about it at this time, but since the other party took off from Antarctica, the original plan seemed to have completely lost control.

Where are the Imperial Guards? What role did they play in this?

Where are the Imperial Fists? They control the entire Terra air defense system, and they must have obtained the flight path of the fleet at the first time! What is their position?

Where is the Star Language Court? The other party took off from Antarctica instead of the star port! That means Calvin did not just arrive in Terra! Why did the Star Language Court withhold this key information?

Bretton didn't dare to think about it anymore. Too many unexpected things had changed his original plan beyond recognition.

The positions of too many people were completely different from his expectations, which made him realize that this "political blackmail" privately agreed upon by several high lords had become a death warrant for their own death.

He no longer cared about whether the original plan was successful or not. What lay before him was another cruel question:

What about his allies? What would they do?

Probably abandon him, right? There was nothing wrong with that. He would make the same choice.

How to get out of this political farce unscathed, or to be more realistic:

How to preserve the survival of his family behind him as much as possible at the lowest cost, even if the cost was himself...

The Imperial Guards! Or the Imperial Guards!

Bretton found the clue that played the most critical role in this incident again.

They did not appear in the Beast War, nor did they appear in the Faith War.

In addition to the secret interference in the "Supreme Lord" incident, they did not even appear when their comrades and the Sisters of Silence, an indispensable part of the combat system, were dismissed.

These beings who transcend the political ecology of the empire have not spoken for so long that he and his allies have forgotten their existence.

And today, at this meeting that determines the change of the highest power in the empire, at this time when the debut of the mysterious new Lord of the Inquisition is successful or not, they appeared.

There must be something that he and his allies don't know...

There must be something that has quietly changed...

Breton no longer questioned the speechless follower. Since he himself didn't know some things, how could this poor man in front of him know?

He slowly picked up the water cup on the table, drank it without any image, and then slammed it heavily on the table.

As for the identity of the Lord of Terra and the dignity and reserve of the Minister of the Administrative Council, in Breton's eyes at this time, it was a luxury emotion.

"The Imperial Guard, or the Imperial Guard!" He murmured in his mouth, but his eyes tried to communicate secretly with the two people sitting opposite.

"The Imperial Guard? Here!" A loud voice responded to Breton's question.

The heavy wooden gilded door of the conference hall was pushed open again, and all eyes were focused on the outside of the door with this announcement.

A tall, inhuman golden figure strode into the room, and the sturdy body standing with a sword was wearing the famous "castle lord's helmet".

The 17th Marshal of the Imperial Guards, Trajan Valoris, rarely walked into this hall that originally belonged to mortals after several centuries.

The high lords could no longer sit still, and they all stood up and bowed to the leader of the Eagle Guard with a transcendent status.

Even the Mars Casting Director, who occupied half of the conference hall, sent a greeting to the Marshal of the Imperial Guard from the loudspeaker in his huge body.

But these voices did not include Breton.

It was not that he did not want to follow the crowd, but because of his position before inheriting the power of the Administrative Council, as the Speaker of the Imperial Senate, he had no chance to meet this adult who walked in the palace all year round.

According to the etiquette rules of the upper nobles of the empire, if there is no middleman to introduce, it is an extremely abrupt behavior to rashly initiate a conversation for the first time.

He could only anxiously and awkwardly watch the golden armored giant respond to all the greetings one by one, and then walked to his seat as if no one was around, and put the golden eagle helmet that represented his existence on the side.

However, his two "allies" ignored his anxious gaze, as if they were asleep.

A team of imperial guards then walked into the venue and marched along the periphery of the conference room. Their number was exactly twice the number of seats in the venue, and they left two people behind each supreme lord.

When all the imperial guards were in place, the two people at the door closed the door together after receiving Trajan's signal.

The atmosphere in the venue, which had just become relaxed, fell into a strange silence again after this change.

"What are you doing?" Sir Julio Malcolm, the representative of the wandering merchants, was the first to lose his temper.

As one of the three non-resident seats in the meeting of the twelve high lords, he had the least confidence and had to be the first to break the silence under the eyes of some people.

However, his question did not get a response from Trajan, who still sat in the specially enlarged armchair like a sculpture, until the Mars foundry director asked about Calvin's whereabouts, and then he responded.

"Has the representative of the Tribunal not arrived yet? Will their representatives not attend this meeting?"

"Please be patient."

Trajan still showed considerable respect to this old supreme lord.

After all, this Mars behind him is a self-contained entity and a real pole on the imperial double-headed eagle.

"Where is Lord Calvin now?" The Pope of the State Church took the opportunity to ask the question that everyone was concerned about.

For the representative of this new force, Trajan weighed it a little and chose to respond, and his answer made everyone in the venue stop what they were doing:

"Throne Court, Silver Gate."

Is he really going to see the emperor?

The high lords looked at each other, and when this possible speculation was really confirmed by Trajan, everyone did not show obvious reaction.

It's not that they were not surprised by the incident itself, but that the mortals who could stand here were the most elite part of the empire.

At this time, they were all thinking about the subsequent impact of this incident, and Calvin's meeting with the emperor itself became an irrelevant issue.

Meeting the Emperor...

When was the last time someone could walk into the deepest hall of the Imperial Palace alive?

I'm afraid it must be traced back to the Apostasy era?

It was the "Emperor's Brides" under the command of High Lord Gog Vandire who confronted the Astartes Alliance on Terra.

The fragile regime of the Empire was almost declared to be split in this "internal conflict".

It was also this group of guardsmen who appeared and led the leaders of the battle sisters who called themselves "Emperor's Bride" to the deepest part of the Throne Court, and confirmed Vandire's demise from the most fundamental legal system.

It was also this invitation to enter the Throne Court that changed the political landscape of Terra again.

After experiencing such a violent turmoil, the Imperial Church welcomed six living saints one after another.

The order of battle sisters was divided into three and then six. As a result, it flourished in the next few hundred years and made great contributions to the stability of the Empire's territory.

The precarious position of the Imperial Church was supported, and the Inquisition also gained a sword for internal use after obtaining the hammer of the Holy Hammer Convent.

Since then, the traditional forces represented by the Administrative Council, the Navigators, and the Imperial Navy have had to admit the fact that the Imperial Church has been stationed in the Terra Senate.

What about this time?

A new force in the Empire is enough to gain a foothold in Terra under the Emperor's pardon;

What will happen if the Inquisition, which is already the top force in the Empire, is authorized by the Emperor again?

Is another saint about to appear?

And unlike those saints far away in the border of the Empire, this one is from Terra...

The sky of the Empire is about to change.

The supreme lords who dominate Terra and represent various huge forces in the Empire have lost interest at this time and are no longer interested in Breton's fate.

What they are thinking about at this time is whether they can adapt to the new rules under the adult who is about to appear, and what impact these rules will have on the Empire in the future.

——

In fact, Calvin didn't care much whether he could be canonized.

What he wanted to know most at this moment was how many doors there were left for him to pass through in this ancient palace with a history of ten thousand years.

There were really so many doors...

Calvin complained helplessly in his heart, but he continued to pass through the tall porches guarded by these imperial guards under the guidance of the imperial guards in front of him.

The buildings of these palaces were so solemn and grand that even the lowest dome was tens of meters high;

They were decorated with gold and gems all over, and even the floor under Calvin's feet was as transparent as jade.

These porches were so majestic that the passages of nearly 100 meters high and tens of meters wide were enough for Titans to pass through;

They were written and carved on these huge doors by the best craftsmen who spent years of time and energy on the great achievements of the human empire in the most intuitive relief form.

Walking in these palaces, Calvin, a divine soul, could not help but sigh at the power of civilization.

After passing through countless doors, Calvin, with his inhuman body, could not help but feel that he was insignificant.

But these were all details, and they were not what he really cared about.

In fact, since arriving on Terra again, Calvin, who had achieved certain success in the field of soul, clearly felt the huge pressure - the pressure of the Lord of Humanity who was high in the depths of the Throne Court.

And it seemed to have reached a certain limit, and it seemed to have triggered a certain mechanism.

When Calvin followed the leading guards to the core area of ​​the Throne Court and stepped heavily on the first jade-polished floor.

This omnipresent pressure suddenly erupted, stimulating Calvin's power from hibernation and forcing him to enter the state of spiritual vision instantly.

Boom!

The boundary between the subspace and reality began to blur at this moment. The expected sneaky noise that was the symbol of the subspace did not appear, but it surprised Calvin.

Oh, the subspace here is particularly "clean", probably because of this creature in front of him...

Just when Calvin thought of this, he was shocked by the scene in front of him and lost interest in speaking.

A huge, strange star with white and gold colors, burning with endless flames, floated in Calvin's spiritual vision.

And his own soul also instinctively protected itself under the stimulation of this power.

A slightly smaller, broken black planet rapidly expanded from nothing, squeezing out a space in the position of the two-color star, and finally looking at each other in silent rotation.

Buzz...

The huge psychic fluctuation began to spread in the middle of the distance from Calvin to the throne room. The psychics of the entire throne room and even the entire Terra were speechless.

The towering mountains of Olympia and the eternal star torch in the Forgotten Fortress trembled.

Countless wizards in the Star Language Court screamed at the top of their lungs, feeling endless fear for the collapse of the witchcraft structure they carefully constructed.

The members of the navigator's family all gave up social activities and huddled in their gorgeous palaces, feeling confused about the sudden recovery of their mutated bodies;

The countless registered psychics in the City of Vision stopped their work at the sound of the "loud noise" that only psychics could hear, and looked worriedly in the direction of the palace area...

The turmoil in the outside world continued, but Calvin himself had long since recovered from the initial shock.

Well, it was shock at first, followed by a sense of familiarity, and finally some relief that some speculations were confirmed.

Yes, until this time Calvin finally confirmed that the existence in front of him was the "star" that had signed a contract with him and given him "household registration".

And it was with the gift of this existence that he had the opportunity to obtain a divine soul, and after meeting again, he could re-observe the existence in front of him from a higher level of perspective.

But this is not necessarily a good thing, at least Calvin thinks so.

The more he understood psychic power, the more he could understand how powerful the existence in front of him was;

Similarly, the more he understood the secrets of the soul, the more Calvin knew how miraculous the existence in front of him was.

This was a pressure that people without psychic talent could not imagine:

This existence called the Lord of Humanity was like a fiercely burning star in the eyes of all psychics;

Every moment, it was wantonly waving outwards an energy field that was as deadly to psychics as radiation rays.

Weak psychics could not even approach him. When the black ship arrived at the outer edge of the distant solar system, it was spontaneously annihilated under his brilliance.

Ordinary psychics could not look directly at his existence, because in the world of idealism, looking directly at his existence was no different from challenging him;

And he who fell into a deep sleep, just the instinctive defense mechanism around him, was enough to burn those arrogant souls to death.

Calvin was no exception. Even in his cognition, this defensive force had a clearer intention to strike against a powerful soul like him.

Before this existence called the Emperor awakened, the more powerful the soul, the more it was regarded as a threat.

This is also a scene that people who have not reached the other side of the soul and achieved divine authority cannot see:

With Calvin's power level, in his feeling, psychic power is far from the real terrifying part of the Emperor.

From Calvin's power perspective, the most core "concept" of "him" other than psychic power is the source of all power and the source of deeper pressure.

Yes, after walking all the way and deeply experiencing the power of the Emperor, Calvin, who crossed the barrier of the material level with his own power perspective, saw a scene that shocked him when he looked at the blazing and glorious existence from afar.

What is that? Calvin couldn't be sure.

From the intuitive psychic perspective, it was a dazzling ball of light that could not be looked at directly;

From the perspective of power, it was a collection of countless wills and an extension of a certain concept.

From another perspective, Calvin tried to use the inscriptions in his body to structure that existence more deeply without any teacher.

The scene in his vision changed again. The dazzling light ball went out after the spiritual energy was filtered out. The complex and incomprehensible concepts were summarized under the special structure of the "inscription".

In Calvin's eyes, a blood-stained sword was clearly present in the depths of the throne room.

"The Lord of Humanity..." Calvin muttered.

The two guards who led the way seemed to have not heard it and did not react to Calvin's treasonous words.

They stopped in front of a still solemn and grand portal without taking a step forward, but just stood on both sides of the portal with halberds to guard.

From their silent but clear body language, Calvin could tell that he was the only one who could go on the next road.

Calvin did not hesitate, and pushed open the silver door engraved with the emperor's great deeds, and then disappeared behind the portal.

"I'm afraid it should be the sword of humanity..."

The voice of this special visitor was still echoing in the depths of the throne room, but the two guards were like stubborn stones that stood for eternity and did not move.
