In just a quarter of an hour, the number of matters piling up in front of Tabers increased dramatically.
But these alarms from all over the battleship and the resulting documents and meetings all stem from the impact of the original body on the subspace.
Tabers looked calm, but his heart was already full of doubts.
He calmly handled the matters at hand, and then calmly responded to questions from the Imperial Navy fleet.
But a series of events continued to happen, and Tabers' doubts finally reached their peak after the meeting because of a problem with the battleship's internal control clock.
"How much is the deviation?" Tabers looked at the screen seriously, and the Gray Knight on the opposite side of the video did the same.
The battleship can maintain and find a link with the real world while sailing in deep subspace, relying on the clock inside the battleship that is wrapped in the Geller Stand.
And when there is a problem with this equipment and its backup, the warship will face the horrific ending of being lost.
"I don't know..." the stationed Gray Knight replied in a low voice, and this was obviously the answer that Tebos didn't want to hear.
He subconsciously took a deep breath and then turned to the navigator on the other end of the video conference:
"Can you see the star torch? We are going to try to float up."
Fortunately, the answer is yes, because the sun has just dimmed.
As a member of the psykers, it was of course impossible for the navigator not to miss the miracle just now.
Although the Silver Dawn was far away from Terra at this time, the sun's light was still dazzling enough.
"Yes," the navigator replied, and then added the results of his observations under Tabers' eyes.
"The fleet's range has obviously been affected, but the good news is that we are closer than expected."
"How close?" Tabers asked, not expecting much.
It was lucky to be able to surface smoothly as he expected. If it could yaw less, it would be like the emperor's appearance.
But he forgot one thing, that is, the emperor was indeed online during the ceremony just now.
"...We have now reached the outskirts of the Farr Galaxy. If we float up immediately, the target time of this transition will deviate greatly, but the distance will hardly change."
"...Are you serious?" Tabos asked hesitantly, and then instantly remembered the experience of the original body Ophelia in the seventh world.
He suppressed his mood and gave the order to the navigator to guide the fleet to the surface. Then, the first second he cut off the communication, he initiated contact with Calvin's palace.
"What exactly is going on?" Tabers' expression was tangled and contradictory.
At this time, the original body had just returned. After hearing Tabos' question, he thought for a moment, and then explained to the other party:
"Things are very complicated... but if I can sum it up, it is that just now, a Holy Spirit who adheres to His will came into the world."
Holy Spirit? What is that? Is there still this word in the Inquisition?
No! This is something from those state religion bastards!
Tabers subconsciously "translated" the word in his brain, and finally found the corresponding concept in some distant "documents".
The expression on his face was struggling and contradictory, constantly changing between disbelief and uncertainty.
"Okay! Stop guessing...it's just what you think."
Calvin couldn't bear to see Tabers' ghostly expression any longer, so he spoke to save the other person's brain that was about to shut down.
He is not surprised that the other party has doubts, because although there are many similar cases, the ones that can really be confirmed and implemented appeared as recently as a thousand years ago.
"St. Celestine's kind?" Tabos blinked and finally found a suitable metaphor.
As the first saint of the Battle Sisters, her representation is more certain than the ancient "Kile".
The various deeds of St. Celestine, after withstanding the many tests of the entire Terran Parliament, not only allowed the state religion to regain consensus from the split of beliefs, but also allowed the legal rationality of the empire's state religion to officially possess Terra.
Government endorsement.
"Yes, the St. Celestine kind."
Calvin blinked, and then recalled the information he had just received when he was acting as a transfer station between the two.
It is not difficult to sense what is happening here with the emperor's power.
But the entire chaos and even the subspace are now silent because of the shattering of the eight-pointed star.
If you want to project power smoothly, you really need the emergence of his "signal relay station".
It can be said that Calvin accounted for a small part of the credit for the emergence of this living saint.
But he was not excited about this, because the information he obtained from the psychic ritual just now was worse than he imagined.
But now is obviously not the time to discuss this. Some of his speculations still need some news and intelligence to confirm.
Calvin put these things behind his mind for the time being, looked at the veteran in front of him intently, raised the corners of his mouth in a narrow manner, and then said:
"You can call her Saint Padilla if you want..."
"The throne is on top!" Tabos prayed subconsciously. However, the emotions hidden in his tone seemed more entangled.
The words of the original body are not spoken casually, especially in today's empire. In a sense, Calvin's words are recognition and endorsement of Padilla.
A living saint appeared before their eyes.
And whether it is the identification of being a genetic primarch or the vision caused by Calvin just now, they all confirm from different angles the reality of the faith upheld by the imperial state religion.
Tybus is a veteran, and he is the most senior among the Gray Knights after the Grand Masters.
But his thoughts, like his origin, still cannot escape the category of Astartes.
His belief in the Emperor was more like that of other Astartes:
It is recognition of the Emperor's dedication in the great cause of the rejuvenation of the human race, and is impressed by the unyielding nature he represents in the destiny of the human race.
The Emperor is great and unquestionably divine.
But this understanding of the emperor was different from the foolish faith and blind faith in his eyes.
He is one of countless Imperial subjects and the epitome of all Astartes in this era who adhere to the "Imperial Truth".
He sincerely hoped that the Emperor really had the power of a god;
But he was extremely afraid of the day when the traces representing the gods described in religion would actually appear in front of him.
"Got it..." Tabers replied.
When doubts are confirmed, when expectations are fulfilled. Especially this veteran who was born in Terra, after receiving Calvin's endorsement, his whole person instantly became much older.
He knew that this represented the end of an era, and he also knew that it also meant that he needed to re-understand the relationship between the Empire and the Emperor, as well as the will to fight based on this.
And this change was brought about by the original gene in front of us.
Although he and his old brothers were unwilling to accept it instinctively, their reason told him clearly:
The emergence of the original body was a change, and although this change was not in line with his expectations, it was undoubtedly a powerful strengthening of the empire...
