I sent the obnoxious psiflame phoenix flying off into the distance without me, and like I hoped, a good number of Tyranids turned towards it and ignored me as I finally made use of my proficiency in Illusions and made myself invisible.
I floated down to the depths of a gorge, carefully evading any little monster that climbed the sandstone walls. I could have strode in with my aura flaring and sword blazing, but a nagging feeling at the back of my mind made me decide against it. My dange...

I dashed to the side, letting the giant Mawlock — an overly-large worm with far too many teeth and a far too wide mouth — sail past me as it burst out of the ground I stood on just a moment ago.
My sword vibrated with energy as I slashed at its body, a sharp force field a dozen meters longer than the sword itself slashing right through anything but the spine of the beast.
I sent my body flying further away as the large beast came back down with an enraged screech of pain, smas...

“Alright team, gather up.” I clapped and said ‘team’ gathered up as instructed, accompanied by some grumbling from some while others came over enthusiastically.
Selene was already next to me with a pleased smile on her face, looking pleased with her new state. Especially so now that she got a handle for how to channel power that didn’t want to taint her soul efficiently. Many of the protective measures Val taught us could be done away with here, though she kept a bare minimum ...

Mephiston
The Chief Librarian froze mid-walk, gathering some curious glances from the other occupants of the street, but he strode through the hallways without as much as a change in his severe expression.
For a single moment there, he felt his senses expand into something new, something entirely foreign to him, but it closed not a moment later. All he got was a single lick of the sensation that this new section of what he assumed was the Warp, felt like.

“Awww~,” I clapped. “Very heartfelt reunion.”
“Who are you?” The woman snapped her gaze at me, already eying the opening in the ceiling and I could hear the little gears turning in her head. She was confused and wanted to be away from here rather strongly.
“The beautiful Sorceress that shove your sorry ass back into a living body.” I smiled at her. “You can thank me now.”
“Thank you?” She looked down at herself, her body clad in the same silky clothes...

There was much I’d learned already, but I still didn’t feel all too close to a solution.

Merry Christmas you all!
Holidays are about to come in and wreck me to the moon and back.
First of all, I apologise, but until the 3rd of January this is going to be the last chapter so a sort of tiny temporary pause in chapter posting so everyone can focus on family and stuff. (everyone being mostly me) ((I am not going to use the H word. I have some backlog, but I'd rather swallow a hedgehog than come back hungover on Jan 3rd to knock up some shitty chapter than...

“Ehm,” I glanced up at Selene, “I can’t really make drones to catch me the test su- *cough* escaping cultists. Could you collect some for me?”
“Sure?” Selene looked at me weirdly. Was there something weird on my face?
“Thanks,” I smiled at her.
“Okay then,” she shrugged and let go of the man, letting my TK take over from her. “See you later?”
“Yes,” I gave her a wave. “I’ll have an interesting story to tell too.”

Robarus Steelheart || Cultist Cells — Baal
Screams, shouts, explosion.
Robarus huddled back into the deepest, darkest corner of his cage and hugged himself closely. Every new sound that echoed down into the dark tunnels that held the cages weighted on his already straining nerves.
The other prisoners or should he call them sacrifices? Not that most of them were willing to accept their fate, but Robarus couldn’t fault them, neither could he.

Despite the overwhelming urge to just let free and release my new toy into the weak fleshy bits of the worm and leave it nothing but ash, I restrained myself.
Temperance was a heavenly virtue and with me being the pure and virtuous soul that I was, I of course had ample amounts of it.

Timothy — aka Random Cultist A
The day started just like any other, huddling in the dark caverns and hoping against all hope that the great tyrant will grant them enough strength to resist the incoming alien filth.
A part of Timothy even wished that the deplorable servants of the corpse emperor will clear out the alien menace without them having to do anything. That was a weak thought, a thought the tyrant of blood would probably flay him for if the great one ever bothered to ...

His feet touched down with a loud thud as his jump pack's ignition cut off. He bounded through the gate with the men he took out for this sortie following behind him.
The portcullis fell down right as the last Marine stepped through while the constant firing of auto cannons atop the battlements held back the Swarm.

A deeply mournful sigh slipped through my lips. I snuggled closer to her and buried my face in the nook of her neck.
I was aware that I was… touchy? Well, while that isn't wrong, maybe 'physically intimate' described me better. I loved the feeling of holding someone close to me, their warmth on my skin. Just the knowledge that someone was so inherently close to me was nice.
"What is it?" Selene — being the attentive goddess that she is — noticed my distress.

They were like beautiful orbs of shining emerald, eyes like those didn't have a place on a human. Just a single glance into a pair of eyes like those would make the rest of the person look pitifully average in comparison, maybe even ugly.
Not on Echidna though. They were like jewels on the otherworldly woman, enhancing her supernatural beauty even further, but Selene could barely think about anything else than those forest-green orbs staring into her soul.

My gaze snapped up to the sky, piercing through the pinkish roiling skies of Baal and the ever-present dust clouds rolling through it. I saw the great void beyond, but it wasn't enough. The atmosphere reflected most of the weaker light coming from deeper space.

Life had a way of making seemingly easy tasks much harder than they should be.
In this universe, that was especially true. Fate, destiny or whatever, liked to fuck you over.
Even if I didn't know this before, it would have become perfectly clear when the Swarmlord sprung back into action and swung his one remaining scythe-arm at me as I was strutting over to make a meal out of it.
I clicked my tongue, but a playful grin slowly spread across my lips.

How?
That was the question of the day, wasn't it?
How did the Hive-Mind pull me into an Illusion? I might have panicked a bit there and flooded my mindscape with soul-energy ordered to obliterate any foreign energy but after a few seconds of that and nothing substantial changing I came to a conclusion.
The illusion isn't in my head. It's not my mind or soul being fooled, but my eyes and senses.
That was a much more digestible thought than it somehow b...

He stared at the being — for he refused to believe even for a second that what he was seeing was either a human or a woman — it had only been a minute since he'd been rampaging through the tide of ravenous beasts, never before had he given in so deeply to the Thirst, he controlled himself in every moment of his overly long life but now he felt in his final fight he might let go a bit.
He enjoyed it, and the knowledge revolted him. He knew he'd en...

Weird as it was, I'd left my heart and blood mostly intact with only some enhancements so they could transfer much more oxygen and work even under high Gs. I didn't need them, I could live off of only bio-energy well enough and my base Psyker Form didn't even have blood or a heart anymore.

The sun was high up in the sky, its rays falling on the trees of the forest like a warm blanket. Some of these rays slipped between leaves and branches and found intricate wooden houses below them with a select few among them even having the fortune of slipping into one such house through a small window on the roof of it.
