From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 402
c392 “Invade Heaven and Hunt God”
The words fell.
Hera, who was more than a head taller than ordinary humans, looked around the palace. After seeing the streets full of disarmed captives, she looked up at the sky.
Then, her eyes began to be filled with a light red light.
Boom!
Accompanied by a sonic boom, a shock that also emitted a light red light quickly swept and enveloped the entire Vienna with Hera’s body as the center.
The “one-three” humans who suffered from the seemingly magical but actually psychic shock felt inexplicable palpitations.
For example, people living in slums will unconsciously recall the memories they are most reluctant to mention and hidden deep in their hearts, such as stealing food, stealing money, or wanting to retaliate and assassinate those high-ranking nobles and officials.
After all, the first thing these “one-three” residents do when they open their eyes every day is to think about how to survive and how to eat.
They don’t have much time to think about, and they put their energy into believing in God and heaven, which is not much different from Christopher Loren’s family living in a frontier town.
Of course, there are also many “13” residents who see that life is hopeless and then devote their whole body and soul to God and heaven.
They believe that if they suffer bitterness and torture while alive and maintain devout faith and awe, they can ascend to heaven and enjoy happiness.
But this does not mean that they are fanatical believers in God and heaven.
When people are hungry, cold, and sleepy, especially when they are half dead, they are extremely susceptible to brainwashing by “beautiful visions”.
The church uses this to brainwash and manipulate the “13” residents.
If the “13” residents are allowed to obtain the power that humans should have, and can eat and drink enough every day without having to worry about life,
who the hell still believes in God?
Just like the frontier towns under the rule of the human empire, the ordinary people seemed to have a very pious and respectful attitude towards God, but when the town was rebuilt and gradually transitioned to the stage of modernization, they experienced meat every meal and directly regarded the human emperor and Athena as “true gods”.
The poor people have not received formal education, but they know who to follow to get enough food.
So these poor people living in Vienna are not “die-hard” to God and the heaven plane.
On the contrary, those middle-class people who work, serve and fight for the church, such as the families of the elite knights, or businessmen who run businesses and have frequent private dealings with the church, have a stronger and more firm “belief” and “loyalty” to God and heaven.
The reason is simple. They can live like a human on the “one three” earth, which is like purgatory on earth, because they know how to show goodwill and collude with the church after making money.
Even if such people experience the social welfare provided by the human empire, they will still think that it was more “beautiful” in the past.
They have no shortage of food, drink, or entertainment.
The middle class in the border towns enjoys patrolling the streets with their servants and slaves after they have eaten and drunk enough, watching the masses who struggle for food, clothing, housing, and transportation but barely maintain the baseline.
The “spiritual world” of these middle classes is satisfied by the envy, awe, and longing eyes of the masses.
However, with the intervention of the Human Empire, the life in the border towns has made a qualitative leap. Where do the people have the time and leisure to envy and envy the former middle class?
People are busy earning the remuneration they deserve with their own hands to make their lives more “interesting”.
Moreover, the middle class can no longer enjoy the so-called “entertainment projects” as they once did, and naturally they are dissatisfied with the rule of the Human Empire.
And there are many middle classes in the border towns who collude with the church to retaliate and attack the Human Empire.
However, their every move has not escaped the “attention” of the Investigation Department.
The Apocalypse Knights were sacrificed and summoned to the border town by the church using fanatical nuns as carriers, but they were killed instantly by Leon. The Investigation Department secretly arrested all the middle-class people who had connections with the church.
At present, these guys, totaling nearly a thousand, have been escorted to the outskirts of Vienna by the Investigation Department to serve as living sacrifices for the sacrifice ceremony.
The middle-class people in Vienna who were impacted by Hera’s psychic energy, examined their inner selves, and colluded with the church cannot be said to be tens of thousands, but there are still tens of thousands.
After all, Vienna in the “One Three” universe is much larger and more “crowded” than Vienna in the main universe, with a total population of 35 million.
It only took a few seconds.
Hera released psychic energy and selected more than 60,000 guys who met the conditions for sacrifice, would not violate the empire’s ideas, and met the conditions for living sacrifices.
But according to the information provided by Serin, if you want to open the portal to the heavenly plane through the sacrifice ceremony, at least more than 100,000 living sacrifices are needed.
So Hera focused her energy on selecting qualified “candidates” from the Knights of the Order, the nuns of the church, and the army of the Holy Roman Empire.
The reason why Leon did not directly organize these military units as living sacrifices was that many of the knights, nuns, and soldiers among them were fighting sincerely to protect their homes and protect mankind.
Faith and fear of God are just to avoid being corrupted and eroded by the devils of hell.
Just like the church nun Isabella de Kellul who first chose to cooperate with the human empire.
Exclude these people who adhere to the bottom line and have their own beliefs, and those who are left are those who have been severely brainwashed and have completely become “thugs” of the church.
After comprehensive screening and elimination.
Hera successfully supplied the necessary “materials” for the subsequent sacrificial ceremony.
Immediately afterwards, Hera once again released an even stronger psychic impact that could be clearly observed with the naked eye, forcibly controlling the guys who met the conditions for sacrifice, and took the initiative to head towards the eastern suburbs of Vienna without the supervision or transfer of the Dark Angel. .
Because the Dark Angel’s ship-based engineering team, as well as various corresponding intelligent machines, took advantage of the main force to fully occupy Vienna, and dug and built a simple sacrificial platform in the eastern suburbs.
“What’s wrong with me?!”
“Why don’t your hands and feet obey your orders?”
“She is a witch! An extremely evil witch!!”
Most of the living sacrifices whose bodies were controlled by Hera started shouting in panic.
At the same time, they are also suffering from severe mental and physical pain.
If it goes on for a long time, their brains will be “scorched” directly by Hera’s spiritual energy.
Moreover, continuously releasing psychic energy and directly controlling hundreds of thousands of humans with souls is more complicated than using the Orc Queen to control the orc army that already has telepathy, and consumes more spiritual energy.
Leon, standing next to Hera, noticed that Hera was continuing to consume psychic energy, so he opened the communication and ordered the clone soldiers and T-800 Terminators to quickly take over the escort duties.
It won’t take long.
Simple sacrificial altar in the eastern suburbs of Vienna
In fact, it is built on a platform made of wooden planks and stones, only half a foot higher than the ground. There are hundreds of thousands of people who are inextricably connected to the church, brainwashed by the church, and have fanatical beliefs and loyalty to God and heaven. of living sacrifices.
On this platform, the Hex robot used a laser spray pen to carve out dense “inscriptions” in a short time.
Such as the “Ten Commandments of the Bible” in the 13th universe, or the description of the “Sacramental Summary”, as well as the information obtained by the Heretic Tribunal through the plane of hell, and the symbols inferred to be related to the plane of heaven, etc. .
The Ten Commandments of the Bible are readily available, and the “General Introduction to the Sacraments” are all provided by those fanatical believers and nuns who were jointly arrested by various departments.
As for authenticity?
Not to mention that Hera, who is good at using psychic powers, can examine the soul and obtain the truth. Even the biology department can directly “dig the brain” and read the memory.
It’s just that the biology department’s methods are very inhumane, and trainees who are tortured will be left with permanent trauma or even die suddenly.
But since the trainees are brainwashed fanatics, it is “natural” and there is no moral restraint or humane condemnation.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the inscriptions and symbols carved on the sacrifice platform, but it is still unknown whether the portal can be successfully opened after the sacrifice is completed.
After all, humans in the “One Three” universe have never opened a portal to heaven, and the impact of the heaven plane on the earth in the “One Three” universe is also pitiful.
Moreover, the inscriptions and symbols on the sacrificial altar are equivalent to a “hodgepodge”.
The most dangerous person in this sacrificial ceremony was undoubtedly Hera.
Leon is not good at these “spells” and “rituals”, and relies mostly on instinct to use the powerful spiritual energy contained in himself, so Hera is responsible for performing the sacrifice.
If the activation fails, Hera will suffer extreme backlash.
But Hera, who knew this, did not have any psychological burden. Although in the myths and legends of the main universe, her image is mostly “jealous”, “mean”, and the “god queen” who often quarreled with Zeus, she is also in charge of The chief god of marriage and fertility.
She once removed Hephaestus from the Olympus Mountains because of his deformity and ugliness, but she also saved many human women who were on the verge of death due to childbirth difficulties.
Coupled with living in human society for thousands of years and being influenced by Sui Yang’s spiritual energy, she naturally became a “goddess” who truly cares about mankind.
Hera chose to ignore the danger and the consequences of failure.
Even if she died, Hera was willing to bear it. Anyway, she had lived for tens of thousands of years and had already looked away from “eternal life” and “death”.
soon.
Under the supervision of biological weapons and mechanical armies, as well as the Astartes and auxiliary armies, all living sacrifices walked onto the sacrificial platform.
Moreover, Hera also released psychic energy and forcibly controlled their bodies again to avoid sudden riots and loss of sacrifices.
then.
The main force of the Dark Angels, the Greek minor gods of the Heretic Tribunal, and the Gray Knights who were ready for the assault gathered at the edge of the sacrificial altar and waited patiently.
Leon, who was standing in front of the Glory Guards, saw that everything was ready, so he said to Hera, whose eyes continued to emit a light red light next to him:
“Ms. Hera, you can begin.”
“.”
Hera nodded in response.
Then, she opened her arms and raised her head slightly, causing her entire body to be enveloped in the light of psychic energy.
Then, Hera’s feet gradually left the ground, and finally floated above the center of the sacrificial platform.
When Hera intensified her psychic release, making the pale red light even more dazzling, the inscriptions and symbols carved by the Hex robots also began to emit psychic light.
It was dim at first, then extremely dazzling, until the light replaced the sunlight, covering and radiating the entire Vienna.
! ! !
The hundreds of thousands of living sacrifices bound by Hera seemed to have sensed that their death was approaching and were struggling frantically.
Unfortunately, they could not break free from Hera’s psychic control and could only watch the surrounding scene being completely replaced by the light red light.
And at this moment, they did not even have the opportunity to regret becoming the “loyal dogs” of the church and heaven and to admit their mistakes. They directly dispersed their consciousness, sacrificed their souls, and became sacrifices to open the portal.
When the light, with Hera as the center point, suddenly intensified to the point that all the elites of the empire, including Athena, except Leon as the original body, had to close their eyes slightly to protect their vision——
Boom————!!!
An extremely strong impact began to sweep around with Hera as the center.
Even the biological weapons and mechanical army on guard near the sacrifice platform could not keep their balance due to this impact.
But the next second.
All the abnormalities disappeared instantly, and everyone’s vision gradually returned to normal.
However, Leon witnessed the whole process without blinking an eye.
Hundreds of thousands of living sacrifices “disappeared into smoke” under Hera’s operation, and a portal with a size of 77.7 x 77.7 meters, like a space gate, was “generated out of thin air” at Hera’s feet.
However, the body of the sacrifice was burned by golden flames
This was obviously the work of his father.
Presumably, the Ten Commandments of the Bible, the General Theory of the Sacraments, and the summarized symbols of hell obtained by the Inquisition through torture cannot really open the portal to the heavenly plane.
But hundreds of thousands of living sacrifices “met the standard”, so his father secretly helped Hera avoid backlash and successfully opened the portal.
In other words, his father did not want to interfere too much in the war, but instead focused on handling government affairs, dispatching various resources, and distributing opportunities to obtain merits and “political achievements” to various legions and departments.
Otherwise, if my father came to the “One Three” universe in person, it might take less than a day to eradicate all the things that are hostile to humans and want to exploit them.
Wait until everything returns to normal.
Seeing Hera “flying” to Athena in an extremely weak state, Leon did not point out that it was his father who provided assistance. He immediately rushed towards the portal and ordered through the communication:
“Invade heaven and kill God as planned.”
Listening to Leon’s tone, invading heaven and killing God seemed like an extremely insignificant thing.
“For my father!”
“For the Emperor!”
“Kill! Kill!!”
The Dark Angels, who had just come of age and were not veterans, could not help but let out a metal war cry because of the presence of the Primarch, and rushed into the portal with Leon.
