Chapter 168 Holy Black Frenzy: The Emperor Champion of the Black Temple (V)
[A bright psychic flame descends from the sky, towering between you and the hunched figure.]
[The pitch-black blade penetrated the psychic flames without any damage, and the 'black sword' belonging to the Emperor Champion was about to pierce into the opponent's thin body. ]
[However, another extremely powerful telekinetic energy suddenly appeared, and it actually froze the narrow blade of the 'Black Sword'.]
[Even the stretched pious chains were creaking from the tension and were close to breaking.]
["Hehe——" The heretic psychic who possesses both fire control and telekinesis psychic powers sneered at you, as if he was mocking your overestimation of your abilities.]
[The next second, you, who had already turned around and picked up your weapon, swung a chainsaw sword with great force.]
[Your magnetic boots repeatedly trampled on the mortal puppets that surged forward, and with the help of the weak footrest, you suddenly jumped up from the ground. ]
[Your tall body jumps over the Chimera troop carrier that is spinning in the snow.]
[The think tank director Horadrim once told you that the most important thing to do when dealing with psychics is to learn how to distract them.]
[Accompanied by the rapid rotation of countless sharp teeth on the chainsaw sword. ]
[Your extremely ferocious attack, along with the terrifying roar of your falling body, hits heavily on the thin body that cannot dodge in time.]
[An extremely shrill and tragic howl instantly resounded through the heavens and the earth, even dispersing the dark clouds above the sky, exposing the dark depths of the universe.]
[At the same time, a madly surging spiritual energy tide like an endless sea is about to erupt from the depths of the opponent's thin body.]
[The 'Black Sword', which lost its telekinetic psychic restraint, suddenly fell, and the pitch-black blade easily pierced the thick armor of the Chimera troop carrier.]
[You extend your metal arm armor wrapped with pious chains forward.]
[You grabbed the slender neck of the heretic psychic, and your thick metal-wrapped fingers dug deep into his flesh.]
[As you push upward, the chainsaw sword in your other palm also presses down hard.]
[You suddenly let out a roar.]
[You actually pulled out the head of the heretic psychic and a large section of bloody white spine. ]
[You hold the chainsaw sword tightly, making a roaring sound, and split the opponent's mutilated body in half.]
[Countless hot and smelly blood splashed on your 'Armor of Faith' and slowly slid down.]
[However, at the moment when your mind slightly relaxed. ]
[A psychic tide that the heretic psychic had been brewing for a long time completely lost control as his life passed away.]
[Endless spiritual energy burst out like a terrifying flood when a dam collapsed. ]
[Your tall body is heavily enveloped by chaotic psychic energy shocks. ]
[Even if you are wearing extremely heavy power armor, you can't stop the tendency to fly backwards. ]
[Instantly, the Chimera troop carrier below was destroyed by countless chaotic psychic energies and turned into a pile of metal fragments.]
[Even the roaring chainsword in your hand turned into a piece of twisted metal.]
[For a moment, only the 'black sword' that was tightly bound by the pious chain remained intact, flying around with your tall body.]
[As the psychic energy tide spread rapidly, countless empire vehicles were also overturned by the madly surging psychic energy.]
[A large number of mortals with only flesh and blood bodies turned into exploding blood mist in the blink of an eye and completely disappeared into the air.]
[You hold the broken head and spine of the psychic in your palm]
[Your tall body is floating back and forth in the air. ]
[A large amount of blood spurted out of your mouth and nose, staining the inside of the metal helmet and then quickly solidified.]
[Your strong will has also been baptized by the impact of the psychic tide. ]
[You actually entered a cold, strange hazy state.]
[You seem to see a strange human being with mutilated limbs and a hunched back, living a short life of poverty, misery and suffering.]
[It was abandoned by its biological parents shortly after it was born, and suffered from the crazy oppression of the Hive Gang in its childhood. After it grew up, it was despised and spurned by its neighbors and friends because of its unexpected burst of psychic power, and was hunted down by the official imperial team...]
[Its greatest wish in life is to eat a meal of corpse starch without any restrictions. ]
[But the more important thing is that even though it lives in such pain, deep down in its heart it only hates the imperial bureaucracy, and its faith in the emperor has never wavered in the slightest! ]
[It has never betrayed the Emperor, nor has it ever abandoned the dignity of mankind...]
[It is just a psychic puppet that was given a name by an unknown being pretending to be the 'Emperor' and decided to devote everything to it. ]
[Your mental tentacles continue to penetrate this heretic psychic known as the 'traitor to the people'. ]
[You seem to have briefly experienced its life and thoroughly understood everything about it. ]
[Then, your perspective gradually rises, and even enters the boundless cold void.]
[You look down at a rotating icy planet.]
[Countless stars began to shift, and your spiritual tentacles that had been floating in the void for a long time quickly probed into an unknown planet that was undergoing global war preparations.]
[You saw a frantic operation of foundries, where mechanical servants, under the scolding of countless technical priests, distributed the laser weapons that had just come off the production line to a large number of stiff-moving mortal puppets.]
[You also saw a number of Leman Russ tanks and Chimera troop carriers belonging to the Astra Militarum, loaded with mortal soldiers, galloping across the endless snowy plains.]
[You even saw a spectacular sight of nine-meter-high single-person Titans and huge Paladin Knights slowly strolling on the edge of the city.]
[Your perspective quickly swept across countless scenes, and then suddenly fell.]
[You unexpectedly saw a tall figure about three meters tall, with almost half of his flesh and blood body completely covered by a mysterious mechanical structure.]
[The next second, the other party seemed to be aware of your presence. ]
[It suddenly turns around, and a mutant psychic with a dark eye in the center of its forehead glares fiercely in your direction.]
["You are a running dog who betrays humanity! You are a puppet of the false emperor of the empire! Get out of here—" It roared at you with uncontrollable anger.]
[In an instant, just one movement almost tore the normal space apart, exposing the terrifying psychic energy of the subspace scene rapidly gushing out from the opponent's tall body. ]
[Your spiritual tentacles were instantly annihilated before you could react.]
[You suddenly opened your eyes and woke up completely.]
[Your tall body fell heavily onto the ice and snow, making a dull thud.]
[You quickly turn over and sit up. ]
[You discarded the psyker's broken head and spine.]
[You took off the shattered metal helmet of the Crown of Thorns and threw it aside.]
[You suddenly vomited a large pool of dark red blood that quickly solidified into a ball.]
[The remaining will of the real culprit is surging in your mind. ]
[The terrifying psyker who controlled the entire planet and planned to launch a massive rebellion war to overthrow the rule of the Empire... He had an extreme hatred for the Empire, extreme despair for the Emperor, an endless desire for resistance, and eternal sorrow for the gradual passing of his relatives and close friends...]
["Great Lord of mankind, why didn't you show up to save us from our suffering?"]
["It hurts, it hurts—"]
["Your most humble and devout believer, I pray that you will bestow your infinite power to save my wife and children!"]
["Respected Inquisitor, I am an officially registered psychic. I am not a damned heretic! I have an extremely devout faith in the Emperor!"]
["Hate, hate, hate——"]
["Aren't you the Emperor's messenger? Why are you slaughtering us!"]
["That's the only thing left of my wife and children! You can't take it away! Give it back to me!"]
["Die, die, die—"]
["Why! Why!"]
["Why would the emperor, who is revered as a god, treat me like this! Why is the empire so cruel!?"]
["Humans shouldn't live like this! I shouldn't live like this either!"]
["Hypocritical Human Empire! Damn Heretic Inquisition!"]
["And. The fake pseudo-emperor——"]
["One day, I will personally step onto Terra and ask you: Why!!!"]
[The remaining will of the opponent gradually dissipated. ]
[You can't help but open your eyes wide and take a deep breath. ]
[You slightly opened your bloodstained lips and teeth, revealing a twisted bitter smile.]
["Crusader Squad! Survivors, report your situation immediately!" You took a deep breath and quickly got up from the ground.]
[You don't have time to retrieve the 'black sword' that is being dragged by the pious chain, and can only let it rub against the dirty snow. ]
[You drove the 'Armor of Faith' and quickly ran towards the castle lord who had just stood up from the ground and several other surviving new blood.]
["Is the battle over? Brother Champion, you managed to survive…" The castle lord raised his palm and patted the metal helmet a few times, staring at you through the broken eyepiece. ]
["Brothers of the Black Templars! We are in big trouble!" You shouted to the castle lord with a ferocious expression.]
["This is not the end of the battle! It's just the beginning of a war!"]
["Contact the astropath immediately to inform all fleets of the chapter! Remember, all fleets!... Even the Grand Marshal who is on an expedition must be warned by us. A super psyker whose psychic power level may exceed the Alpha level is trying to start a large-scale rebellion that will sweep across the entire star region and even the empire's territory!"]
["What we just killed was just a psychic puppet that it deliberately controlled, called 'People's Traitor'!"]
["Its real name is… 'The Tyrant'!"]
Thank you for your support!
The translation of '独夫' is really interesting.
So I came up with the setting of "traitor to the people".
In fact, the situation of most non-psychics in the Empire is also very interesting.
Either be 'eaten' by the Emperor or maintain the Astronomican.
They are either used by Chaos or recruited by the Empire, and basically devote themselves to death without any right to choose.
So, what if the "dictator" is given the character of a persecuted revolutionary who rises up against human tyranny?
The Black Templar and the protagonist, the Emperor's Champion, stand at another angle...
I will write about the Inquisition if I have the chance. The behavior of some of the Inquisitors is truly comparable to Chaos.
