among.

These nuns, whose minds were twisted and sick due to long-term repression, did not realize that after the short catharsis just now, the seeds of pain had been imprinted in their souls.

From now on, the pain caused by torturing or being tortured by the other party will be doubled and transformed into the ultimate spiritual pleasure.

It won't take a few times to become completely addicted, and it will sink deeper and deeper until it turns into a low-level devil controlled by Grace.

In this way, Grace was able to corrupt the central bureaucracy of the Empire bit by bit from within Terra.

Relying on the convenience brought by the special status of the Grand Sister, she has successfully transformed more than 5,000 subordinates during her return to Terra.

If it were not for fear of alerting Violetta Roscavler, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or attracting the attention of the Assassin's Court, one could add a zero after this number.

Because you can never imagine that after a political regime composed of humans has been running for 10,000 years, it will produce countless evils within it.

Even though a series of reforms and purges were carried out after the original body's return, it still could not change its completely irredeemable nature.

You must know that during the period when Robert Guilliman returned to power as the Imperial Regent, Terra's political situation was not all smooth sailing.

Several high-ranking members of the original Parliament came out with fierce objections, and even started a rebellion to force the Primarch to give in, shouting "the laws of the ancestors are immutable" and demanding that Robert Guilliman stop all reforms and follow the ancient traditions of the empire.

.

But unfortunately, they obviously forgot that the original body represented the will of the Lord of Mankind who sat on the Golden Throne.

As a result, before any turmoil could arise, the Assassins of the Assassin's Court easily suppressed the voices of these conservatives through several successful assassinations.

Grace has witnessed all this with her own eyes, so she knows very well how many unknown darkness and secrets are hidden under Tyra's calm surface.

Moreover, the conservatives have not been completely purged or surrendered because of the deaths of several leaders.

They are still hiding in the dark to accumulate strength at this moment, planning to wait until the original body is injured and falls into dormancy or simply dies during the Indomitus Crusade, and then jump out to seize power and bring the empire back to the so-called "right track".

In fact, as the home planet of mankind, the power struggle on Terra has never stopped. Even during the period when the emperor personally ruled, special manpower was needed to balance the internal political factions.

It was also thanks to conservatives attracting most of the attention that Grace's infiltration went so smoothly.

Now, she has secretly controlled more than twenty Orders of Battle Sisters, as well as key positions including the Order of Hospital Sisters and the Order of Clerk Sisters.

As this network hidden in the darkness continues to expand, it won't be long before you can obtain a powerful military force that is absolutely obedient to you.

Although it is not comparable to the Custodes and those Astartes warbands, doing something secretly can definitely cause huge chaos.

Just when Grace was standing in front of the huge mirror, admiring her golden-proportioned perfect figure and black wings in her devil form, she suddenly felt a shadow appear on the window behind her, and she immediately turned around warily.

Asked: "Who is there?"

"It's me, mistress."

Following a soft voice, a nun wearing a black robe with a pair of black wings behind her flew in from the window sill, carrying a woman whose whole body was wrapped in a material similar to gray gelcoat.

Because the material is too tight, it basically looks nothing like being naked.

What is even more incredible is that after losing consciousness and consciousness, her or his gender in physical structure has been constantly changing.

At first it was obviously a female, but after a few seconds it turned into a male.

"A Callidus assassin? Are you being targeted by the Assassin's Court?"

Grace's face changed slightly after confirming the identity of the prisoner.

The nun who had completed the transformation from human to devil quickly shook her head and explained: "No, it's not me who is being targeted, but the conservative Crosso.

Obviously, this guy had taken the lead in opposing the Imperial Regent's move to reorganize the logistics department and was liquidated.

But luckily, I noticed the assassin in advance and captured him the moment he launched his attack.

After this incident, Crosso has agreed to work for you secretly in exchange for our protection.

The most important thing is that he has been addicted to the pleasure of violence and masochism and cannot extricate himself. He should soon meet the transformation standards.

No matter what mental calculations he makes at that time, he will ultimately have no choice but to obey your orders."

"So the Assassin's Court has done us a big favor?"

Grace's eyes instantly shone, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised into a playful smile.

The Devil Sister immediately replied: "Yes, Master. And I believe that after this failure, the Assassin Court will not touch Crosso again in the short term. After all, with the regent launching an expedition, the most important thing about Terra now is

It is to maintain political stability. Once the conservatives take advantage of it, it may trigger violent internal turmoil. This is not the result they want."

"Does the Inquisition also compromise due to political factors? It's interesting..."

Grace reached out her hand and gently touched the unconscious Callidus assassin, her tone full of surprise and surprise.

Because in her impression, the Assassin Court has always been the type who would never retreat even if they hit their heads and were bleeding.

As early as during the Horus Heresy, as the founder of this organization, the Emperor's closest comrade-in-arms, Imperial Chancellor Malcador, he sent assassins one after another to assassinate the leader of the rebels, Warmaster Horus.

.

You must know that it is the most powerful original body in the empire after the emperor himself, and it has also been blessed by the evil god of subspace chaos. Its combat power is basically on the same level as that of mortals.

But what’s the result?

Instead of giving up on their mission, the Assassin Court sent another one after each one died. In the later period, they threw a large number of assassins directly in Horus' face, one after another, and did not stop until the rebellion subsided.

Since then, the Assassin's Court has become the most feared institution in the entire empire, second only to the Inquisition.

It's not that their behavior is less ruthless than that of the Inquisition, it's just that they don't have as high a reputation as the Inquisition.

Generally speaking, as long as you are targeted by the Assassin Court, you can basically go home and prepare for the funeral.

Because even if one assassination is unsuccessful, there will be a second, third, and fourth time until the target is confirmed dead.

Even if occasionally you cannot touch someone temporarily due to some special reasons, you will still find ways to kill them after the storm has passed.

"Master, how should we deal with this assassin?" the devil nun asked cautiously.

"Put her here, and I will train her myself. Just in time, you can take this opportunity to extend my tentacles into the interior of the Tribunal."

With that said, Grace raised her hand and tore the tight-fitting coat on the assassin's body into pieces, and used magical power to extract some weakly fluorescent substances from the opponent's body.

These things are called "polymorphs," and they are special drugs used by Callidus assassins to change the shape of their bodies.

The reason why they can transform into anything they want from Eldar beauties to Orcs is because of the drugs they take, which is equivalent to the technological version of shapeshifters.

When the drug was completely extracted, the assassin returned to her normal human female appearance.

She looked to be around thirty years old, with a toned figure acquired through long-term training. Her long hair was tied into a braid and hammered to her heels. The famous Star God Phase Knife and Nerve Smashing Gun had long been disarmed.

No hesitation!

After Grace extracted the polymorphism, she immediately picked up the whip placed on the bedside and pointed it at the assassin's naked body and whipped it hard.

Snapped!

Accompanied by a crisp sound when it came into contact with the skin, a bloody whip mark appeared directly on the latter's body.

Any normal person would be unable to bear it and scream and wail by now.

But the Callidus female assassin remained motionless as if she couldn't feel anything at all. Not even her heartbeat or breathing showed the slightest abnormality.

"You are indeed the elite of the Assassin Court. This endurance is really admirable. But it's a pity. The pain you exude mentally cannot fool me."

As Grace spoke, she reached out to grab the prisoner's ankles, trying to lift him up and lock him in shackles.

But the moment she reached out to grab it, the Callidus assassin suddenly rose up, one hand instantly turned into an afterimage and stabbed at the eye, while the knee of his right leg bent and hit his lower body hard.

It has to be said that this move, which attacks the vital points from above and below at the same time, is quite vicious. It is indeed an organization that can make the entire human empire fearful.

Unfortunately, Grace is no longer a mortal.

After becoming the Queen of Pain, her power has surpassed that of most Hell Fiends, and she can continuously draw energy from subspace to strengthen herself.

As a result, when the fingers and knees hit the target, the sound of bone shattering was made almost at the same time.

Click!

Click!

The Callidus assassin felt a sharp pain. His fingers were broken at a 90-degree angle on the spot, and the parts below the knees were completely uncontrollable. He instantly lost his balance and fell headfirst to the ground.

At this critical moment, she realized that it was impossible for her to escape successfully, so she subconsciously wanted to use her other hand to commit suicide to avoid being tortured in the hands of the enemy and leaking information that should not be leaked.

This is also the consistent style of the Assassin Court.

But before the Callidus assassin had time to assist with actual actions, she felt an invisible force field directly restraining her in place, unable to move, and her body slowly recovered from the state of falling forward.

"Don't be in such a hurry to die.

Believe me, when you feel the ultimate pleasure and enjoyment brought by pain, you will soon forget those boring ideas about loyalty that the Inquisition has instilled in you.

Come, my little cutie.

Let me teach you how to become happy.

Although this process may be a little painful, once it exceeds a certain limit, the whole world will become different."

With the seductive whisper in her ear, Grace quickly cast an unknown spell to make the other person's body extremely sensitive, then picked up a whip full of thorns and whipped it hard.

This time, the Callidus assassin could no longer endure the pain and let out a heart-rending scream.
