Just now, when Inquisitor Lord Horst-Eisenholm told Kenmyo Isayama to execute the Inquisition traitor, the warhammer simulator, like a program that had crashed long ago, instantly reacted to the keywords.
"Main Quest Activated - Defiled Sanctity"
"Side Quest 1: Death of an Inquisitor"
"Side Quest 2:??? (Not yet activated)"
"Inquisition Commendation Shop Activated"
Four messages appeared one after another on the page in front of Kenmyo Isayama, revealing that the C-rank simulation had already begun setting up quests.
"Makonos, do not disappoint me."
After Inquisitor Lord Horst's voice faded, silence returned to the room.
Kenmyo Isayama leaned fully into the comfortable seat cushion behind him and began to examine the recent activity of the warhammer simulator.
"Main Quest: Defiled Sanctity"
"Difficulty Level:??? (Note: This quest carries extremely high risk and may lead to the risk of falling into heresy)"
"Quest Synopsis: Indulging in pleasure is an instinct for living beings, but it is absolutely no reason for betrayal! This is blasphemy against the Emperor, an unforgivable betrayal! (Unlocks after completing side quests)"
"Quest Duration:? (Unlocks after completing side quests)"
"Quest Reward: 100,000 Honor Points"
"(Note: Honor Points symbolize the commendations of the Imperium; they are extremely difficult to obtain and can be exchanged for items in the Commendation Shop.)"
"Failure Penalty: This simulation will immediately conclude, and all previously acquired Honor Points will be reset to zero."
This was the main quest, and Kenmyo Isayama felt that his current simulation seemed to be centered around it, but most of the information would only unlock after completing the side quests.
Alas, when Kenmyo Isayama's gaze landed on "indulging in pleasure," he immediately understood why this quest didn't even display a difficulty level.
It was highly likely to involve another thorny entity, and Kenmyo Isayama felt a sudden headache.
In this universe, no one can remain aloof; it must be an erosion from Chaos. The Exterminatus Kenmyo Isayama had just carried out, the reason SPO-2 Home World was beyond saving, was because it had been corrupted by the terrifying plague of the powerful Plague Lord, Nurgle.
And among The Four Great Chaos Gods of the Warp, one precisely symbolized pleasure. He hoped it wasn't what Kenmyo Isayama was thinking.
Any issue involving a Chaos God is an unsolvable problem, at least not something Kenmyo Isayama could handle.
This requires professional Daemonhunters; he is from the Inquisition, not the Daemonhunters. Are they throwing me into the deep end right from the start?
Let's look at the other side quest.
"Side Quest - Death of an Inquisitor"
"Quest Level: LV.30 (Difficult)"
"Quest Synopsis: Complete the mission issued by Inquisitor Lord Horst-Eisenholm of the Inquisition: execute the 'betraying' Inquisitor Tossak-Rome."
"Quest Reward: 8,000 Honor Points"
"Quest Hint: What could make an Inquisitor, who has served the Inquisition for over four hundred years, abandon his faith in the God-Emperor?"
This quest was rather conventional. Kenmyo Isayama also knew that the Imperial loyalty education Inquisitors received was deeply ingrained; they couldn't even overcome the psychological barrier to betray.
Inquisitors would only be labeled as heretics by their colleagues and executed as traitors.
Kenmyo Isayama shook his head helplessly, a playful smile on his face.
"Daemonhunters summon daemons, the Inquisition produces heretics, and the Xenos Inquisition has xenos."
Isn't that your Inquisition's specialty?
However, if Kenmyo Isayama dared to say that, Horst would hang him on a heretic's gallows.
But the truth is, the three main branches of the Inquisition—the Daemonhunters, the Xenos Inquisition, and the Inquisition—every single one of them could be sent to meet the Emperor without a single mistake.
There are primarily two factions within the Inquisition: Puritanism and Radicalism.
Ideological factions are unrelated to the affiliated Ordos.
From the perspective of Radicalism, these Inquisitors believe that as long as the outcome of protecting the Imperium is achieved, the means used in the process are irrelevant.
Their methods are not constrained by moral ethics or rules; they often attempt to fight fire with fire, using Chaos or Xenos weapons, even employing daemons, or committing other acts that would be condemned as heresy by their more conservative colleagues.
But it would be wrong to assume that the Puritans are completely different from the Radicals.
The Inquisitors most fond of using Exterminatus are precisely those from a Puritan sub-faction called the Monodominants. They view all Imperial wars as a struggle for survival for the human race, believing that only the Imperium is fit to exist in the universe.
Kenmyo Isayama's original self came from the Monodominant faction within Puritanism, the youngest and most zealous faction within the Inquisition.
These two main factions of the Inquisition maintain a consistent attitude towards Xenos, Chaos, and Heresy: only death is the best destination for these things.
However, the Puritans also have an additional target for amusement: impeaching Radical Inquisitors and striving to label them as heretics. The Imperium turns a blind eye to these internal conflicts between the two factions.
So, returning to the Inquisition headquarters was like being with a bunch of lunatics, and Kenmyo Isayama couldn't stand even a bit of that fanatical atmosphere.
Furthermore, Kenmyo Isayama was still quite unfamiliar with the Imperium; his so-called loyalty was entirely reliant on lip service. If an instrument detected disloyalty, he would be finished.
Although the quest was a bit tricky, not having to return to the Inquisition headquarters and not having to report for duty, Kenmyo Isayama directly tossed his pen onto the table, feeling liberated.
Regarding the last message, "Inquisition Commendation Shop Activated," Kenmyo Isayama understood it after seeing the description of Honor Points.
It should be for exchanging equipment with Honor Points obtained from completing quests.
Kenmyo Isayama clicked on the shop function, and he suddenly arrived at a very ancient place.
The first impression it gave Kenmyo Isayama was that the decor style resembled the Inquisition headquarters. Upon seeing the I-shaped symbol on the wall, well, it was indeed the Inquisition.
"Welcome, Host, to the Inquisition Commendation Shop. To ensure your rights are not infringed upon, please read the following terms carefully."
"1. Any item in the Commendation Shop can only be exchanged with Honor Points."
"2. Items in the Commendation Shop are in limited supply and cannot be exchanged for multiple times."
"3. Once exchanged with commendations, no refunds will be given."
"4. Most items in the Commendation Shop are collections of the Inquisition, obtained from Inquisitors' seizures or are relics... [You have a balance of 3000 points] (This was obtained from carrying out the Exterminatus)"
