Forty thousand years later, he became a god in the warp

Chapter 247: Signs of a Resurrected Saint

The ball of light was so dazzling that it attracted all living creatures to look at it in the empty sky.

It's just that Caroline was the only one here, but she didn't care about such a small matter, because there was nothing more comfortable for her than facing such a warm light.

Just like all beautiful things, there is not a single evil thought, only gentleness, warmth, protection, respect and care.

Making people feel like they are in the spring breeze is the law on which people depend for survival, the belief that has kept them alive to this day, and the hope that keeps them moving forward.

Caroline fell to her knees, begging for the God-Emperor's blessing.

'Wake up..your companions are waiting for you..."

The rumbling sound shook the whole world, and the emotions that were immersed in it disappeared. Caroline slowly opened her eyes and then found that she seemed to be in a room.

At first glance, there were several novice nuns standing around. They were holding parchment scrolls filled with prayers and wiping their dirt-stained bodies with holy oil.

There were also a few cherubim above her head, with their hands clasped together and chanting prayers. She knew the content of the prayers very well. They were congratulating the great warrior on his death and wishing his soul to return to the golden throne.

But...she is not dead.

"sisters..."

"what!"

Caroline's hoarse voice suddenly appeared, scaring the nuns who were wiping her body, and the parchment in their hands even flew up.

They took two steps back and stared at the bodies of their sisters on the stage with wide eyes. Unable to believe it, dumbfounded expressions gradually appeared on their faces.

"Hurry...hurry...hurry to find the Pope of the Church!"

One of them shouted, and someone immediately ran out.

"Sisters...sisters...what happened?"

Caroline felt dry mouth and wanted to get up but found that her body was too weak. She tried several times but found that she didn't even have the strength to sit up.

The nuns around looked at each other, not knowing whether they should step forward to help. They didn't even dare to approach Caroline, because she had died long ago and her body had absolutely no signs of life.

"What...happened?" Caroline asked.

A nun calmed down and stepped forward and said:

"Sister Caroline, you are now on the Holy Reason cruiser of the State Church. The environment is very safe. Don't worry about the surrounding situation. His Holiness the Pope will be here soon. Relax... Do you remember what happened on the Hundred Islands?"

Caroline frowned and carefully recalled the missing memories.

Those scenes that kept flashing back to her memory seemed like a deletion process. As she dug into her memory, those fragments all disappeared.

But Caroline could clearly feel that the images that disappeared from her mind might not represent happy things. It was an instinctive disgust, like a protective mechanism provided by the brain.

The painful memories gradually disappeared like wisps of smoke under the warm light, but there was only one familiar stranger face that remained in her mind.

Thinking...recalling...pondering...memorizing...it seems to be a person named...Lin...

"Buzz!"

The sound of the gate opening interrupted Caroline's reverie, and a high-ranking priest came into the cabin with an anxious look on his face.

"Where are the signs of saints? Saints..."

When the pastor entered the room and saw that Caroline was still naked, he immediately took off his robe and covered her with it. Then he carefully stretched out his hands, gently stroked her cheek and said:

"Welcome back, children, welcome back to the service of the God-Emperor. You have accomplished dangerous tasks brilliantly, and your faith has created the glorious future of the human empire.

You are safe now, child. No evil can touch you anymore. You are the most powerful warrior of the God-Emperor, and you are a member of the Sisterhood!"

Caroline smiled with relief, then her body softened, her eyes closed, and she fell asleep.

The pastor showed a delighted expression, but then frowned and said:

"Regarding Sister Caroline's death, the news remains unchanged. The files have been put in a confidential room and are not allowed to be disclosed to anyone, especially to the Inquisition.

As for the other surviving nuns, they have voluntarily joined the Congregation of the Atonement. If any investigators ask about them, you should push them to my side. Do you understand?"

Several novice nuns realized the seriousness of the problem, and Pope Steele Ian's various behaviors made them realize that something gratifying was happening to Sister Caroline.

I can't find a picture of the Pope, but I'll just show my appreciation. The position is below the cardinal, and there are star regions, galaxies, and star fields. Anyway, he is a high-level priest.

This resurrection from the dead, and the fact that it happened to a battle sister, fully demonstrates that this is a sign of a saint. There are traces of this, and there have been several manifestations in history.

A being blessed by the God-Emperor because of his devotion to the God-Emperor. A powerful, immortal saint full of the power of the God-Emperor. This is what all the state religion members dream of.

Of course, it is still too early to say anything now. The approval of living saints must go through layers of scrutiny by the state religion and the Inquisition.

Only after several years of purity review, absolute justice and holiness inspection, and confirmation that all the beautiful words in the world can be used to describe her, can she truly become a recognized living saint.

The process must have been difficult. Over the past thousands of years, only a few have been able to receive the honor, and many have died halfway through. Some have died in battles with the enemy, and some have disappeared for unknown reasons...

"understand!"

...

Caroline pricked her nose and smelled some kind of incense with a cool scent, and then the sound of sincere prayers rang in her ears. After she stood up, she found that she was no longer in the previous room. This place looked more like someone's private room.

The bed beneath him was very pathetic. The only thing that could be said about it was that it had a thin mattress, compared to the nun's stone slab.

The walls were covered with parchment scrolls filled with prayers, but there were no other fancy decorations. Even the candlesticks with candles were crudely made.

"Sister Caroline you're awake."

Pope Ian, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up and said with a smile.

"His Holiness the Pope."

Caroline stood up and was about to salute, but was pushed back by Ian who took a step forward.

"There's no need for such formalities between you and me. Just call me Pastor Ian. It seems that your body has recovered well and you can sit up by yourself now.

Do you remember what happened under the archipelago of Hundred Islands?"

Caroline nodded, suddenly recalling the situation when she was caught, and asked quickly:

"Pastor Ian, how are the Melody sisters? Are they..are they okay?!"

Ian took a deep breath, then pulled over a chair and sat down, saying earnestly:

"Don't worry, Sister Caroline. Senior Sister Melody is still alive, and there are three remaining students on duty. They were rescued in time and were not harmed.

But because being captured was a huge blow to them, several of them have willingly joined the Sisters of the Atonement to seek forgiveness from the Emperor."

Caroline nodded. The Sisters of Penance are a voluntary religious order that accepts punishment. As long as a person is believed to have heretical thoughts deep in their hearts, they can join the order and be tortured as a warning in order to punish their own improper attitudes.

The chess pieces are very ugly, but this is still acceptable. Some fanart cannot even pass the review. They are more evil than Slaanesh (in some ways). - Melee Fanatic

It seems that the situation under the archipelago is not all smooth sailing, and there must be some more evil activities involved.

"Then I..."

"You don't have to worry about that, um...do you remember how you solved the cult problem?" Ian asked.

Caroline shook her head.

"I understand. It doesn't matter. Forgetting is sometimes a good thing. The problem of Hundred Islands has been solved. The Star Army has occupied the entire planet.

A large number of state church priests have landed and started to preach to the residents of the planet. They have simply fallen into the trap of pleasure and will surely return to the embrace of the empire if they are supervised.

Other personnel have also been properly arranged, so you don't need to worry about the rest. You don't need to return to the Sisters during the inspection period, and try to have as little contact with other people as possible.

I have proposed this to the church and drafted a transfer order. You will follow my instructions in the future, Sister Caroline."

"Preparatory Sister?"

Caroline stood up excitedly. She didn't expect that she would be promoted after just one mission. This was an absolute symbol of honor.

"Haha, only the most outstanding nuns can be promoted so quickly. As long as you complete the oath to the Emperor of God, you can become the official nun you have always dreamed of.

Of course, you still need to complete more tasks to win the right to swear an oath." Pope Ian stood up and said happily.

Caroline's brows relaxed and she looked happy. She was naturally happy that she was closer to the God-Emperor.

"For the Emperor, we must sacrifice our lives!"

Ian nodded, told Caroline to have a good rest, and then left.

I thought that since there were signs of saints, it must represent the blessing of the Emperor of God, and before confirming the authenticity, a lot of observations needed to be made. And the most effective way to confirm the miracle was to throw oneself into the flames of war.

Pope Ian came to the command room and issued orders.

"We have received news from the Astronomican Court that the Storm Segmentum is experiencing an invasion by the Rebellious Space Marines, and many worlds are experiencing dire straits.

As the messenger of the Emperor and a member of the State Religion, the Holy Reason immediately set out for the Storm Star Region to contribute to the rescue of the Emperor's people. "

Ian looked at the ships of various forces on the star map, thinking that he had also witnessed the gift of the God-Emperor. This miracle of resurrection of the dead was also proof that his service was noticed by the God-Emperor.

If Caroline really became a living saint, then his position would rise, the world pope... the galaxy pope... the star region pope... the cardinal...

"Great God-Emperor, your servant Ian offers his most sincere loyalty!"

...

Guilliman clenched his fists, making bang bang sounds. The chaos and unknown made it increasingly difficult for him to see the direction of the future. All he could do now was to fight to the death.

"Mobilize resources from nearby star regions to defend the Noshimo galaxy!"
