"The true teachings of the Omnissiah? No! It is that Lord Sith is the Omnissiah himself!"
"No wonder the God-Emperor would bestow such blessings upon Lord Sith..."
Fanros whispered in realization, not to mention how colorful the expressions of the Tech-Priests around him were upon hearing this.
At this moment on the bridge, that Tech-Priest was already so excited that he knelt devoutly on the bridge, constantly shouting at Sith that the 'Omnissiah' had manifested!
Even many Tech-Priests around started kneeling and worshipping Sith directly.
This scene stunned the Mortal crew members. After all, anyone watching this group of Adeptus Mechanicus members, who usually had eternal mechanical faces, suddenly turn into fanatics kneeling and worshipping an Astra Militarum Commander, would feel that either they were under some kind of Warp sorcery or they hadn't woken up yet.
Even Sith had to temporarily stop his inspection of the warship because of this, looking somewhat helplessly at the group of Tech-Priests below.
Because although there were only a few people, after a hundred-fold amplification, Sith could still barely feel a very weak, yet real, strange power being transmitted to him through these Adeptus Mechanicus members.
And this power seemed to have quite a few things in common with the blessings the God-Emperor, Khorne, and Slaanesh had sent him.
"Is this the power of faith?"
Feeling the divine power of faith, which was currently so weak that it couldn't play any role even after a hundred-fold amplification, Sith paused the words he originally wanted to use to stop the Adeptus Mechanicus below, and then took them back.
Then, refocusing his attention on the warship, after a moment of thought, he suddenly picked up a lasgun, performed a'soothing ritual' in front of the Tech-Priest, and then raised his hand to fire a shot, unleashing a hundred-fold amplified blast at the empty ship deck.
Sith's soothing ritual was, of course, neither standard nor devout.
However, faced with a lasgun whose machine spirit surged to such an exaggerated power level just from Sith's casual soothing, the Tech-Priest did not feel there was any problem with Sith's actions.
If there had to be a problem, it could only be that they, the Adeptus Mechanicus, were the ones with the problem!
Watching the Tech-Priest become even more devout, and seeing the power of faith he received indeed strengthen with the degree of religious fanaticism, Sith finally withdrew his attention, letting the Tech-Priest continue to lead the people in kneeling there.
Then, seeing Ana turn her head to indicate that everything was ready, Sith checked his watch, confirmed that it was still within the agreed time, and finally looked up.
He raised his hand slightly, and the entire bridge instantly fell silent at Sith's signal.
The Tech-Priest also stood up excitedly, his face with little flesh left twitching as much as possible to express a look called 'respect,' while his mechanical voice conveyed deep anxiety.
"My Lord, shall we jump and leave here?"
"Forgive my bluntness, but your safety is more important than anything right now!"
The Tech-Priest was genuinely worried about Sith, and Sith, facing the gazes of everyone on the bridge, paused slightly, then pressed his right hand down.
Seeing Sith point to the ground, everyone was stunned, and then Sith's words shocked the crowd.
"Take the warship into the atmosphere!"
The bridge fell into instant silence, and even the Tech-Priest, after being stunned for a moment, although he didn't question whether the power was sufficient, expressed concern from another aspect:
"My Lord, although the warship has been greatly enhanced, it is, after all, too severely damaged."
"If we go to the surface at this time, it will likely be extremely difficult to lift off again while bearing the alien firepower."
The Tech-Priest looked around the bridge as he spoke; at this moment, even with Sith's hundred-fold enhancement, the degree of damage to the warship was still too great.
Moreover, the Tech-Priest was being tactful; the reality was that once Sith entered the surface, it would be impossible to lift off again while bearing the firepower.
Sith, however, showed no hesitation; he simply commanded the massive hull to begin descending while calmly responding:
"Who said we were coming back up?"
The Tech-Priest was puzzled, his eyes darting back and forth again.
Only then did Sith finally look down, facing the puzzled crowd below, clenching his fists and clasping them behind his back.
"After picking up the ground forces, I am going to... within the atmosphere..."
"Jump!"
