The Inquisition

Following Curze's instructions, the Terra Department of Justice drafted a document to initiate the Extreme Punishment Act.

The plan is that the Extreme Punishment Act will be carried out by a select group of people.

In handling cases like these, which require confronting the most extreme aspects of human nature, the executioner must possess an extremely resilient mind.

"The Boss, the document has been drafted. What do you think we should call our new department?"

What will the new department be called?

"Since you are the Grand Inquisitor, let's call this new institution the Inquisition. It'll be good to have the other members of the Council of the Long Night become Inquisitors as well, otherwise you'll be all alone."

Curze's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing the Night Haunter's suggestion.

He had heard the Night Haunter recount the history of the Imperium of Man in that world.

He also knew what Inquisition was.

Simply put...

A gathering place for gods and immortals.

As for how far this person has gone,...

When both the Chaos Heretic and the Inquisitor appear, investigate the Inquisitor first.

That's what word-of-mouth is.

"Don't worry, the Inquisition can be placed under the jurisdiction of the Department of General Affairs."

"If you can't trust others, can't you trust your father? Besides, we can impose restrictions on the Inquisitor's qualifications."

"As long as the Eighth Legion and the Nostramo-descended are present, the purity and impartiality of the Inquisition can be guaranteed."

"That makes sense. Let's do as you say, Night Haunter."

After making the decision, Curze gave the order to Shen.

"Shen, the new organization will be called the Inquisition. The Department of Justice will propose the plan, and the Department of General Affairs will be responsible for its implementation. The First Batch of Inquisitor will be members of the Council of the Long Night."

"The selection of subsequent Inquisitor will require a multi-stage selection process."

"As for the selection criteria, I'll tell you, write it down."

"For those of Nostramo-descended, since one of the requirements for entering the Reserves is to become Judge, they can skip a level, but the requirements are equally stringent."

"First, you must have experience governing a chaotic world with tens of millions of people, and the number of such worlds must be at least three."

"Secondly, the individual must have written more than five books on Law matters, all of which must be verifiable and supported by facts."

"In a world governed by written theories, public satisfaction needs to reach over 50%."

"This is a cultural aspect."

"Secondly, in terms of combat prowess, the individual must be well-versed in military strategy, possess personal combat skills at the level of Myriarch, and must serve three consecutive terms as a Myriarch."

"Only those who meet the above requirements can become candidates for the Evernight Judges Legion."

"Then, relying on his civil and military achievements, he was promoted from a reserve Legion to Myriarch."

"Only in this way can we enter the Eight Hundred."

"After joining the Eight Hundred, the thirteen most outstanding individuals were selected based on their personal resumes and subsequent combat achievements."

"These thirteen people will be the final selection of Inquisitor."

"Once the second batch of Inquisitor is finalized, the First Batch of Inquisitor, who are the members of the Council of the Long Night, will step down."

"Subsequently, alternate members of the Council of the Long Night were selected in the Inquisition."

Having finished discussing the selection criteria for Nostramo-descended, Curze began preparing the selection standards for non- Nostramo-descended.

"Apart from the above conditions remaining unchanged, after becoming a soldier in the Eighth Legion, one will first become a grassroots Enforcer."

"Selected students will be admitted to the Nostramo Public University of Judiciary. After graduation, they will need to complete three years of practical training at Nostramo before proceeding with the relevant procedures."

"Have you written everything down?"

"I've noted it down."

"Okay, send it to the Administratum so Roboute can get through the review as quickly as possible."

"Clear."

Inside the Administratum, Roboute looked at the document Shen had sent and approved it without even looking up.

"Sir, won't you take another look?"

"No need. Although Uncle has left, it doesn't mean the Imperium Anti-Corruption will be abandoned halfway. What we need to do still needs to be done."

"Whenever it comes to Anti-Corruption issues, just like when my Uncle was in power, I get the green light all the way."

"What about the Emperors and nobles?"

"With Sanguinius and Malcador handling things on the Emperor's side, we won't be under too much pressure."

"Yes!"

News of the Department of Justice's plan to establish Inquisition quickly spread throughout Terra.

However, one thing is worth noting.

Only members of the Inquisition can exercise the powers granted by the Extreme Punishment Act.

But this was of no importance to the nobles.

There were too many nobles, but how many people were in the Inquisition?

Only five thousand people.

How many Inquisitor are there?

Including the Primarch, there are only fourteen people. How far can they possibly fight their way?

When the time comes, they'll have to explain themselves. Why not just hand over the very bottom of the interest group to take the fall?

Heh, so what if it's the Primarch?

What can a human Demigod do?

In the end, we still couldn't beat them, could we?

Of course, Curze had considered this as well, so he brought in professionals.

First was Astartes of the 19th XIX Legion.

They are masters of assassination, the perfect choice for dealing with those who require execution under the Extreme Punishment Act.

It can make the other party disappear without a trace.

Of course, the cooperation between the Eighth and XIX Legion was a secret.

No one knew about this except for Curze and Roboute.

As for the fact that there are too many people to execute?

Don't be ridiculous, the Evernight Code is far more authoritative than those nobles think!

One of them is called the Extraterritorial Enforcement Authority.

As the name suggests.

Anyone recognized by the Evernight Code as a Law professional possesses full law enforcement authority, even if they are not affiliated with any relevant organization.

In other words, wherever the Thirteen Council of the Long Night goes, they can obtain law enforcement authority.

Unfortunately, of the Thirteen of the Council of the Long Night, apart from Shen and Sevatar, the other eleven are currently in other Legions.

In other words, other Legions also have law enforcement authority!

Moreover, due to personnel mobility, eleven people are sufficient to cover all the Legiones Astartes of the Imperium.

"Those Vermin, I hope they can get a good night's sleep."

Curze looked at the approved documents, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Normally, this kind of laughter would only appear from the Night Haunter, but now it's different.

Now that his Dad has left Terra, he no longer needs to suppress him.

Although some of the Night Haunter's practices seem extreme, and could even be called Heretic.

But Curze understood that these methods were necessary at times, and he needed them.

Once the specific procedures were finalized, the Inquisition was quickly established.

Meanwhile, upon receiving the message, Malcador looked at Curze.

He never imagined that his vision would be realized by this young man.

"Curze, you..."

"If the Chancellor has nothing else to say, I still have a case to handle, so I must take my leave."

???

What's wrong with this young man Curze?

Could it be that I've been possessed?

He used to be a polite and well-behaved child, what's going on now?

"Alas, there's no one to carry on the family tradition."

I was thinking of taking on apprentices, but it seems that's not going to happen now.
