Space Marine minds were tough cookies, I found. Some I could crack open and fish around for information in, while others sorta … imploded when I pushed too quick or too hard. And being inside a mind while it collapsed around you, on top of you? That was not a fun experience, let me tell you. It was distinctly uncomfortable, like being stuck in a sandstorm where particles of sand kept flying into your eyes and ears.
I suspected a lesser telepath would have had their minds crushed...

Solomon Tetrarchus stared at the holographic display showing the war happening aboard his ship. His face was set in a grim line, and he waved a hand to make the 3D floating replica of the labyrinthine interior of his ship zoom in on the section around the final boarding pod.
Just minutes ago, the call came in alerting them that the Watch-Captain, the Emperor’s foremost Angel of Death in the entire Fleet, was fucking dead. Worse, the damned abomination ...

I had my Space Noodle head for one of the largest ships, a cruiser floating right besides the flagship. The flagship itself had too many ‘protagonist’ grade people on it, along with good old Solomon, who I wasn’t quite done with yet. Still, I wanted the space snake to be too close for comfort to them.
Plus, there were also a few people I was keeping an eye on among the ones aboard the targeted cruiser. Heroic Guardsmen, rugged veterans, determined Space Marines … even some Space...

Barros Keir held a deep scowl on his face, hidden behind his black Astartes helmet as he fired away at the incoming wave of greenskins. His weapon spat out thick blasts of plasma, incinerating the unarmoured flesh and bones it came across with little effort.
It would have sparked a malicious joy in his heart any other time to smell the scent of burning flesh, to hear the dying screams of the Emperor’s enemies.
That treacherous joy that had landed him in the Deathwat...

Nulls, Blanks, Pariahs. Was that the extent of their tricks? Did the Deathwatch think that would be enough to kill me?
Or were their ‘pocket-blanks’, as that one Marine called them, just the means they were using to hide their true ace in the hole from my sight?
Well, if nothing else, the Orks were proving useful in drawing the Deathwatch out and making them play this game on my terms. Better yet, they did so without any risk to myself. Only a select few Orks, like...

A/N: Another kinda-sorta Interlude, though it really isn't. I just thought seeing the fight from the Imperial Pov would be far more engaging than from Echidna's, who's treating it as a super-realistic wargame.
I added some new illustrations to the latest SH chapter, if you're interested. Echidna with elven ears, classy echidna and casual echidna illustrations at the beginning of the chapter, in the Author's Notes. Here's the link: 2025-05-10 16:00:13 +0000 UTC

Solomon stared forward, his face set in a grim scowl as his mind surveyed the information the Machine Spirit was feeding him.
First contact with the enemy was still far away, but he couldn’t be prepared enough. With the majority of his psykers out of commission or dead, the rest of his arsenal had to be in perfect shape.
“The sensors are picking up something, heat signatures moving through the frozen asteroid cloud,” the auspex operator said, his voice rising in ...

It was pretty handy that all my Arcologies were mostly made of organic materials. It meant I could take control of them from afar, grabbing the seed of eldritch flesh I’d left behind in each to shape the Arcologies as I wished, letting me add in extra things I’d forgotten without having to tear down parts of it and rebuilding it the old-fashioned way.
Some of the Mayors or their general staff who’d gone through the blueprints I’d provided were probably scratching their hea...

Building a fleet of spaceships was surprisingly easy. Making them match the Imperial Fleet in strength, was less so. They had Void-Shields, and I didn’t, the tyranids usually went with thick carapace and a swarm of fliers surrounding bigger ships to make hitting anything of real consequence practically impossible.
But that was lame. Swarm tactics were not cool, I wanted quality instead of just sheer quantity making up for the lack of any real quality.
I want...

“What a disgusting, paranoid little man,” I murmured to myself, holding the whimpering mind of Solomon Tetrarchus in my hand. “Well, I still have some use for you yet.”
I might have broken his mind just a tiny bit, but I made sure to make a snapshot of it beforehand. I’d used the time we spent chatting — he spent it trying to shoot me and then himself while I was the one making small talk, but it still counted as chatting in my books — to map his min...

If this was a trap made specifically to ruin my day, what would it be? How would I mess with me, if I was an eldritch asshole thriving on messing with people? I thought to myself, floating in the void of space with distant asteroids slowly floating by me. In the distance, well beyond what even my eyes could see by themselves, I could see the thermal signatures of the Fleet’s exhaust plumes as infinitesimal little pinpricks of light. What can even hurt me as I am?

“Lady Echidna, I felt something horrible just minutes ago!” Zara said the moment she laid eyes on me, and if she wasn’t scared out of her mind and trembling like a newborn fawn, she would have probably realised it wasn’t a coincidence that I gathered everyone for a meeting right after she felt a pair of gods swing their giant green dicks about in my territory.

I got , caught, have tinnitus (or something similar, inner ear inflamation I think?) and as a result I’ll be spending the next 5 days in the hospital, with an IV making my right hand useless for most of it.
I’m not outright saying I won’t be uploading chapters, I fo have the next GWH chapter written (though not edited) so maybe I’ll manage. But no promises.
