Chapter 259 Return Trip, Orpheus's Planning and Response

The fleet did not encounter any accidents on the way back. Calvin on the Angel of Punishment buried himself in the library on the warship and continued his previous research.

The relationship between authority and true name is still limited to speculation in Calvin's mind, not a firm judgment.

Before there is real and credible proof, he dare not take any action involving the entire legion.

This universe is too cruel to humans. They are not only facing the double attack of external enemies and internal troubles, but even knowledge itself is full of malice.

Under the vicious gaze of the gods, there are almost no theories about true names and descriptions of authority in human records;

And if the relationship between the two cannot be proven conclusively, then any theoretical distortion may be deceived by the evil gods and eventually lead to terrible consequences.

Evidence, he needs some real and credible evidence to prove the correctness of his judgment.

Calvin actually already has some specific ideas, but the conditions for the experiment at hand are not yet available.

He recalled his past process of purifying demons. The absorption and transformation of souls and existence, and the gradual replenishment of authority in the soul are still vivid.

He could understand the replenishment of the soul, because that was the instinct of his soul to repair itself;

But after the demon's soul was absorbed, the annihilation of his true name and the perfection of his corresponding authority were completely beyond his observation.

He needed to reproduce the transformation process again, and only in this process could he observe his own soul to explore those phenomena that he had never noticed before.

A week later, the Angel of Punishment successfully returned to the world of Amara, the capital of Orpheus, and Calvin's research work just came to an end.

"Good day, Your Majesty Calvin."

In a palace that was exactly the same as the one on the Soul Redeemer, Calvin sat on the throne, looking down at the tiny mortal woman under the steps.

This huge palace complex, which originally belonged to the planetary governor, is located in the middle of the top floor of the entire hive city.

Its main entrance faces the Great Council of the Inquisition, and the left and right sides are adjacent to the offices of the Astra Militarum and the Imperial Navy.

The Ministry of Justice and the Hive Prison are just behind it on the left, and the church of the state religion on the right behind it forms the last piece of the puzzle of the petal-shaped top floor of this hive.

The Ondan family is indeed a "reasonable" noble family. The death of Governor Harold could not stop their "loyalty" to the empire:

In just less than a few months, the Ondan family has transformed this palace that originally belonged to the Governor into a palace that is exactly the same as the one on the Soul Redeemer.

And now the woman in front of Calvin is the new representative promoted by the Ondan family after the death of the former Governor Harold, and is also the default candidate for the next Governor.

"Get up, I give you the right to look directly at me."

A huge voice like a bell came out of Calvin's mouth in the standard Terran accent of high Gothic with obscure psychic fluctuations.

The mortal kneeling below was obviously shocked by his voice, and his originally curled body shook slightly and shook even more violently.

This is not only a fear of strength, but also a fear of Calvin's power.

Orpheus is not as free as before. Although Terra is far away, the High Lord is right beside.

In the past, the replacement of the Governor may only need to wait for Terra to recognize the fait accompli;

But now, without Calvin's endorsement, there is no legality at all.

A word can determine the life and death of the person in front of him, and a word can determine the success or failure of the Andan family's century-old business;

This is the authority that Calvin now has, and it is also the core reason why this majestic and magnificent hall appears here.

The charm of the word power is fully reflected at this moment.

"Hail to the God Emperor! Salute to the Supreme Lord Council!"

Vanessa Tricari von Andan, the daughter of Sir Harold, the former Governor of Orpheus, the Empire's First Class Lord, saluted Calvin with the Sky Eagle Salute, and then stood up from the smooth floor.

"I already know about your father's death. You should follow his legacy and fulfill your duties for the Empire, so as not to fail the grace of the Emperor."

Calvin, in accordance with standard etiquette, made the final official judgment on Sir Harold's death in office as the Supreme Lord.

He had a lot of things to do, and he was not interested in the power struggles of mortals.

So his attitude towards the Ondan family, which was jumping up and down after the extinction of the Orpheus family, was that as long as it did not affect the rule of the Empire and the operation of the war in the front, he would just treat it as nothing happened and forgive the past.

His words contained a lot of information. In Vanessa's ears, it was not only a personal affirmation of Sir Harold, but also a substantial confirmation of her as the successor to the Governor.

This was the first thing Calvin did after returning to the rear of Orpheus, and the last thing before he left Orpheus and rushed to the Lyak star region.

The troops and material support from the Storm Star Region were still arriving one after another.

With the war in the Hassan sector already decided, he has turned his attention to the Lyak sector where he had fought against Chaos before.

Although the Chaos fleet there has been destroyed, the remnants of Chaos in the occupied area still occupy a large number of planetary worlds.

Previously, Calvin was fully focused on saving Orpheus itself and had no energy to pay attention to the situation here.

When the main force of the orcs in the Hassan sector had been defeated, the situation in the entire Orpheus war zone was no longer in imminent danger, and the focus of the remaining work naturally began to shift to clearing the remnants of the war.

The Inquisition has already made a preliminary determination on the death of Sir Harold.

This abnormal death is not the first in the history of Orpheus;

It was eventually believed to be the echo of some alien civilization.

And with the increasing frequency of similar events in the past thousand years, it can be proved that this alien civilization is in a state of dormancy and is on the verge of awakening.

This incident caused Calvin great vigilance, but Calvin did not have much to do with the enemy in the dark and us in the light. He could only restore the vitality of the Orpheus sector as much as possible before the real battle came.

The support for the front line within the sector has quietly changed since the battle for Strom;

Under Calvin's promotion, the main transportation capacity of Orpheus is mostly concentrated on war materials.

The extra mobile forces on the front line quietly boarded the returning transport ship and returned to the home defense zone of Orpheus.

The main force of the Astartes that he drew on his return trip was also based on this consideration.

On the basis of restoring the order of the entire war zone as soon as possible, leaving enough backup for the war that may happen at any time is the real purpose of his layout.

However, the existence of these aliens has not been confirmed after all. For the sake of the morale of the people in the star zone, these decisions can only be known by himself and a few people in the Inquisition.

As for the local noble group behind the lady in front of him, they know nothing about it.
