In the dream state of deep consciousness, Velez's fear is being amplified.
Two strong nuns stepped forward and held her shoulders. Then the older nun forcefully snatched the baby away from her arms.
Although she couldn't hear any sound, Veronica knew just by looking at Velez's expression that she was crying at the top of her lungs.
But the nun still took the baby and left——
After that, Veronica only felt her eyes blur, and she was already in a splendid and grand holy hall. The holy hall was nearly a hundred meters wide, and the painted dome was supported by countless thick marble columns, and at the end of it And in the center, is a huge metal statue.
A majestic human holding a sword in one hand and a claw in the other is looking straight ahead.
Just looking at the idol, Veronica felt a discomfort from her soul. Her eyes seemed to be burned by a golden sun, so she quickly moved her eyes away.
Then she heard footsteps and turned to see a group of people approaching.
It was a group of nuns. The one walking at the front was wearing black armor, while the one walking behind was wearing a light red nun's robe.
Among them was a familiar figure.
In the dim light of the corridor, Velez, who had already put on the nun's battle armor, faced the floor with his pale face, and his hair was sparse and messy.
Compared to before, now she looked like a ghost, a fake fading away with time and indifference.
Soon, the team stopped in front of the huge statue, and then Velez stepped forward and knelt down on the cold stone bricks.
"——I have strayed far beyond the supreme redemption. No other way can atone for my sins. Therefore, I ask myself to confess my sins."
Suddenly, a low and hoarse voice sounded, and Veronica was surprised that she could hear the voice.
No, she immediately realized that this was not the voice in the dream, it was Velez who was saying these words in reality!
Velez then took off her red gown and let it fall to the floor.
Behind her, a nun silently picked up the clothes without even looking at the clumsy woman.
"Your Majesty the God Emperor, I am a guilty person."
There was a fragile strength in Velez's voice, and it gradually echoed in the church.
"No forgiveness, no tolerance."
Next, each nun stepped forward, took off Velez's weapons and armor, and threw them aside after taking them off.
"We will leave you, and your armor and weapons will be destroyed by us."
"I leave here of my own free will, and if my will is aligned, I will return."
Behind her, an older nun used a ceremonial knife to cut Velez's discarded robe into strips of cloth, while other nuns tied it to Velez's now naked arms and legs.
Later, they wrapped the Chain of Regret filled with barbed iron thorns around her body, and pressed the seal with the oath written on it onto her coat, which was now made of cloth strips.
"I shall seek the forgiveness of the God-Emperor in the darkest place of the night."
The older nun leaned forward with an ancient-looking knife and grabbed a lock of Velez's hair.
With fierce determination, she shaved off Velez's blond hair, doing so roughly until her crown was hairless and covered with minor scratches.
A few minutes later, Velez's originally beautiful blond hair had been replaced by bloody hair. Veronica was horrified to see this process——
"Are these humans sick? Why are they so cruel to their own compatriots——"
"See me as if you don't see me, know me and know what you fear. I have no face other than this face, until the final salvation finally comes to me."
Realizing that it seemed to be done here, another nun walked out of the darkness. She was equipped with a pair of crackling and deadly neural whips, and she was holding a tattered red hood in her hand.
Velez calmly put on his hood and followed her.
Until now, Veronica has not found a good opportunity to awaken the nun, because the deep consciousness is deeply entangled with the origin of the human soul, and arbitrary disposal is likely to have serious consequences.
Moreover, her power here is limited, and she must find an opportunity where Velez will definitely wake up, otherwise she may never be able to do it again.
After that, she continued to follow Velez's consciousness and finally understood what she had become.
She became a fanatic of suicidal attacks and was whipped into battle by stern officers. As they fearlessly charged into the enemy lines with chainsaws and swords, any enemy would be uneasy and terrified, and only death or forgiveness could save them. Ending their duty to the Lord of Mankind.
Every day and every night, every breath these women take is self-punishment and atonement in order to display the glory of the Golden Throne——
So they turned their outrage into weapons as deadly as the swords they held.
But Veronica noticed that there was another emotion hidden in Velez's fanaticism, a kind of stubbornness that was extremely difficult to detect.
She seems to be holding on to something
It was this kind of perseverance that allowed her to survive repeated bloody battles where she could not survive.
Day after day, year after year.
She has participated in countless wars, and the scars all over her body make it impossible to tell that she was once a woman, and she looks like an ugly bipedal monster.
Those who fought alongside her and punished her all died.
But she was still fighting, still persisting, holding on to a certain obsession, wielding the chain sword that was getting slower and slower.
Until one day, she finally collapsed.
She is old and can no longer wield the heavy chain saw and salvation. The battlefield is full of corpses. This is a terrible failure. Her legs are broken, her left hand is loose and paralyzed on the ground, and her chain saw The sword was inserted into a ferocious monster.
She lay in a pool of blood, gasping for air.
She still doesn't want to die or embrace redemption.
Veronica looked at her, wondering what she was insisting on——
Suddenly, she felt the world shaking.
"No, her consciousness is collapsing!"
Veronica was also a little panicked. If she didn't take action, Velez's consciousness would probably sink into the endless darkness, because she had felt along the way that despair had gradually infected all her consciousness.
Only the last field remains.
The last realm——
Veronica suddenly thought of something, so she raised her right arm high, the long staff appeared in her hand, and the gem on the top bloomed with bright light.
As for Velez, who was in a pool of blood, her breathing was gradually weakening, and black despair was wrapping her up.
Suddenly, her eyes widened and she saw the bloody sky, with teardrop-shaped rain of fire falling.
Along with a roar, a huge shadow covered her.
Then, she was picked up by a pair of strong hands, a pair of arms covered with armor.
Velez turned his head and saw a Space Marine, a giant giant wearing silver-gray power armor.
The soldier was staring at her through the black goggles, as if he was telling something.
Then Velez looked down and saw a scarred but still shining Eagle emblem hanging on the warrior's neck. The ugly face full of scars finally showed a long-lost smile.
Veronica lowered her arms, she felt the collapse of the world stop.
She made the right bet!
Velez's obsession is the result of her relationship with Soshyan in her dream, her child.
