  Chapter 34 The Frontiers of the Empire: Associations

Vito walked under the huge grand hall, with a high dome hanging above his head. It was a magnificent heaven composed of countless exquisite murals and carvings. above the dome.

The white marble floor extends to the end of the hall under your feet. Countless majestic statues are lined up on both sides. Those tall giants are either holding long swords or holding scales in their hands. Giant shields are like sentinels on both sides, facing each other. A huge broad banner hangs down from between the giant soldiers.

  The colonnade composed of marble columns is on both sides of the hall, and it is arranged towards the most distant magnificent icon. It is a huge icon of the emperor, an image of the emperor sitting cross-legged on the ground with arms outstretched.

Vito, who seemed insignificant compared to all these, walked through the main hall. He walked past all the giant statues and giant pillars. Turn forward and walk into the side door on one side.

  Vito stepped into a long corridor, which is a classic church wing corridor. Outside the white marble and plaster structure is a garden, a beautiful garden shining in the sun.

  Butterflies are flying among the bright flowers, and the well-groomed trees and shrubs are dotted with everything. They are intertwined and dye the cold church with vitality.

  Vito watched several monks working in the garden. They seemed to be taking care of everything. These people were all wearing hoods, and their backs were facing the corridor, making it difficult to see their faces clearly.

  Vito walked through a long corridor. He passed between statues, murals and arches, and passed a long staircase before arriving at the final destination, a brass-colored gate.

Vito looked up at the carvings on the brass gate, which depicted the rays of light bursting from the sea of ​​stars. In the dreamlike beautiful nebula, a huge silhouette emerged from it and descended to the world, dominating the ground. It is the faithful believers who welcome the coming of the Redeemer with joy and joy.

  It’s really interesting. The composition of this door is obviously an imitation of the Golden Throne, but the Emperor has been replaced by Tyrann’s Will.

   Several monks stood in front of the brass gate. They held scepters and lined up on both sides of the gate, guarding the gate like a loyal guard.

  Vito looked at them, at these monks who were bigger and taller than others, and had bone carapaces on their hands.

"Who are you?" asked the monk in the center of the monks right in front of the gate, "Vito Constantine, a soul." "Why did you come here?" will."

"Why listen?" "For salvation." "What is salvation?" "This is the truth." "What is truth?" "This is the way of salvation." "What is the way of salvation?" "It is the **** of the star sea. "

This question and answer Vito has long been familiar with. He has seen too many piety priests and believers chatting like this. Seriously, why do all religions like to do these fancy mystic rituals to bluff? What about believers who live in themselves?

   Ah, sometimes I miss Imperial Truth.

Although Vito was nagging in his heart, but still had a serious expression on his face, the monk nodded slightly. He tapped the ground with the scepter in his hand, and as he tapped, the surrounding monks began to tap neatly .

  The sound of the end of the scepter hitting the ground was regular and rhythmic. With the sound of the knocking, the brass door slowly opened with a rumbling sound.

  Vito was surprised to find that the door was not opened by a mechanical structure, but by pure kinetic energy. Or, spiritual energy.

  The monk stepped aside and made a passage leading to the inside of the brass gate. Vito raised his head and walked through a monk soldier. He walked through them and walked into the gate.

He walked to the central pattern of the original shape. Vito looked around at the mysterious people wearing hoods. They stood on a high platform that was a lot above the ground. double snake with tentacles pattern.

  The door behind him was closed, and closed again silently. The light from the outside world was completely blocked at the other end. In this room, only candles and candlesticks hanging in the air provided dim light.

"Vito Constantine." Among the seven mysterious people wearing hoods, the person standing in front of Vito spoke, his voice was thick and full of courage, and every word he said was like It came from countless directions, and even the air vibrated accordingly.

  Vito realizes exactly who he is, a powerful psyker, the bishop of a genetic cult.

Vito nodded slightly in respect, "Bishop." "Hello, our brother, Governor Reuven recommends you to us." The bishop raised his hand slightly as he spoke, gesturing to the mysterious man in the hat at the other end of the circular platform. He bowed to the bishop, and Vito saw Reuven's face clearly in the dim light.

  He can see everyone, and now he remembers the faces of these imperial dignitaries and knows their identities.

  Madam President of the Executive Yuan, Chief Astrologer of the Astrologer Academy, Chairman of the Galaxy Governor Council, Deputy Marshal of the Planetary Defense Force, and Archbishop of the Orthodox Church, hum, it’s really interesting, it seems that the high-level and few remaining departments of this planet have not been infiltrated.

  They looked at Vito from under the hood, like the leaders of a dense society scrutinizing the enrollees, and it was the case now.

  The highest religious leader of the Pious Society looked down at Vito, "You have given and received a lot for us, brother Vito, you may have proved your ability, you have proved yourself to be a powerful servant of the gods."

   "But now, we need you to prove your faith." The archbishop said, he raised his hand, and a light came from a dark corner, and the light instantly filled the room.

It was a purple ball of light shining like the sun, moving countless storms in the vortex, just like a small sun, it was suspended in the magic ring scepter in the hands of a solemn monk, as if captured by orbiting stars The stars around Hong Kong are average.

The sun illuminated everything in an instant, lighting up the dark room completely, "Look at it, touch it, if you are a true believer, you will be safe, but if you are a disbelief, a liar , you will be burned and engulfed in the flames of faith."

The monk came wordlessly, and he stretched out his scepter towards Vito, and placed the sun in front of him, and Vito looked at the seething fire and solar flares on it, and he looked around, at the leaders of the Society who were staring at him them.

   "Prove, your beliefs, only in this way can we accept you." Ms. Astropathic said in a godlike voice, she looked at herself with blind eyes, and those eyes without pupils were so scary.

"As it is said, take the test of faith, Vito Constantine, if the gods approve you, we will also approve you." The rebel bishop of the state religion said loudly, his voice was like when he was preaching in the church on weekdays In that way, loud and vigorous.

Vito nodded slightly, looking directly at the sun, he stretched out his hand to the surface of the raging fire, suddenly a vast light burst out from it, it was like a sun that was about to explode, and the light instantly engulfed everything.

  But when the dazzling light faded after a short moment, everyone saw Vito Constantine who was still standing in front of him. He was still standing there, without any change.

  Vito just rubbed his eyes, and then looked at the archbishop. The latter raised his head, and the cloak on his body slipped to the sides, and six arms stretched out from under it.

Six claws, six Tyrannical creations, Vito still looked at the archbishop calmly on the surface, the archbishop's arms spread out in the light like the horns of a hexagram, Vito looked around, those people on the podium also spread their hands arm, in which he also saw the existence of the third hand.

  Now, he knows where the biggest cancer on this planet is, and now, he also knows how to judge.

   "Vito Constantine, the Lord of Redemption still accepts your faith, our outstanding brothers, welcome to join His Advocate Association."

The archbishop recited loudly, "You will receive His salvation, and you will receive blessings from the gods! You will see with your own eyes the initiator of our sacred blood and faith! The archangel from the other side of the star sea, from the side of the gods !"

   "Glory! Glory! You will step into the ranks of gods under His blessing and baptized by the patriarch himself!" The archbishop shouted loudly, "Welcome, my brother."

   "My honor, Archbishop, my honor." Vito said with a smile, his fingers slightly clenched, "My honor."

   By the Emperor, this planet is about to be purified.
