Warhammer: Should I also sit on the Golden Throne?

0038 Creating Guardian Spirits?

Zhou Yun let out a soft breath, and all that remained before his eyes were the images of the Golden Throne and Macurag.

He focused his mind and energy, then placed a portion of his will back onto the Golden Throne. One part of his will locked onto Prospero's coordinates, waiting for the next body he could enter, while another part searched for other bodies in the warp. The rest remained inside Macragge's body.

Zhou Yun sensed the spiritual energy within his body. Compared to Prospero, Macurag's subspace veil was ridiculously thick.

Prospero's veil was like a thin bubble, easily burst, allowing psychic energy to be released almost without restriction. Macurag, on the other hand, was like a brick wall, with most of Zhou Yun's psychic energy being wasted on breaking through the veil.

Although the archaeologist's body was not used for long, the skills were still preserved and inherited into the scholar's body. Theoretically, as Zhou Yun receives relevant stimuli, he can awaken more of the archaeologist's skills and memories.

The skills that Zhou Yun has now acquired...

The Falcon School, also known as the telekinetic school of psionic magic, includes four psionic spells: Psychic Shield, Psychic Blade, Psychic Crush, and Precision Telekinesis.

The Brightfeather School, also known as the bio-chemical psionic school, includes four psionic spells: Bio-Lightning, Body Like Steel, Cellular Control, and Subspace Speed.

In addition, there are several Prospero psionic spells and... an innate psionic talent?

Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment. Most psychics have innate psychic abilities, such as strange good luck, a certain degree of mind reading, or occasional precognitive dreams. These are not really skills. Even without these innate abilities, most of them can be mastered and surpassed through simple psychic training.

However, some people possess extremely powerful natural endowments.

For example, Zahariel, the strategist of the Dark Angels Chapter, possesses a natural psionic ability called "Fear Vision," which allows him to see beyond the physical realm, perceive the enemy's inner workings from a higher dimension, and transfer parts of his own body to the warp to attack the enemy's interior.

The archaeologist's psychic gift is... "the language of antiquities." He can see parts of the object's memory by touching it, as if the antiquities are speaking to him.

An interesting ability, but it doesn't seem to be one of the most powerful psionic endowments.

Zhou Yun began examining the psionic spells from the archaeologist's memories... Wait a minute, these spells...

The more he looked, the deeper his brow furrowed. He had previously stated that the Inquisition's psionic techniques were ten thousand years ahead of their current state.

However, among the several psionic spells that archaeologists recalled, many were at least 80% similar to those used by the Inquisition, and were spells that Zhou Yun knew.

The remaining spells that Zhou Yun didn't know also seemed very similar to the psionic magic style of the Inquisition.

No, it's not that Prospero's psionic style is similar to the Inquisition's; it's that the Inquisition's psionic style is similar to Prospero's.

Moreover... the Black Crow School's Precognition System, the Fire Phoenix School's Fire Control System, the Bright Feather School's Biochemistry System, the Sky Owl School's Telepathy System, and the Falcon School's Telekinesis System are all exactly the same.

Could it be that the psionic spells in the Inquisition are actually the psionic spells of the Thousand Sons Legion from ten thousand years ago, and then only made a few minor improvements over the past ten thousand years... No, it might not be an improvement, it might be a castration.

For example... Zhou Yun looked at a psionic spell with a strange expression.

The name of this spell is... "Sculpt Guardian Spirits".

The essence of this spell is to use the user's own will to bind a wisp of something in the warp and mold it into their guardian spirit...

Create guardian spirits?

Are you sure this isn't summoning a demon?

Later, the Thousand Sons Legion frequently used these "guardian spirits," but during the Burning of Prospero, many of the guardian spirits inexplicably went out of control and went berserk, ultimately harming the Thousand Sons Legion. It's hard to say that these seemingly gentle "guardian spirits" were anything safe.

Moreover, even if this thing is safe, if Zhou Yun summons it, will anyone in the subspace actually respond?

Or perhaps, this thing is indeed a form of shaping, except that the ones made by Senko were things that Tseiki coveted.

Looking at the set of psionic spells, Zhou Yun felt that the second possibility was more likely. If that were the case, Zhou Yun might as well try it out.

He can use the psychic power derived from his faith to shape the guardian spirits, thus eliminating any need to worry about Tzeentch's influence.

Why don't you give it a try?

If there really was a Tzeentch demon capable of sneaking in with the psionic energy of the Golden Throne, then the only one Zhou Yun could think of was that shapeshifting young master who once placed a Nurgle spirit on Khorne's Bronze Throne and secretly cut off Slaanesh's hair.

If Zhou Yun really manages to trick the Shapeshifter into revealing itself, he would be very willing to take it to sit on the Golden Throne, even if it means taking a huge risk, because the Shapeshifter may not be the most powerful of all the demons, but it is definitely the most capable of causing trouble.

Zhou Yun wasn't too worried about the Guardian Spirits being a problem. At worst, he could just throw most of his will back to the Golden Throne. He was already starting to get used to the pain anyway; he just didn't know if the demons would be able to handle it.

With that thought, Zhou Yun began to focus his mind and study the spell...

The first step is... to sense the surging torrents in the subspace, and to let one's will sink into the vast ocean...

Then, visualize your inner thoughts and imagine the form your guardian spirit will take...

Zhou Yun pondered for a moment, then came up with a suitable image...

Jet-black power armor... a golden laurel wreath on the forehead... a sharp black sword... the Emperor's Champion...

He envisioned the future Emperor Champion Sigismund and began to infuse his spiritual energy, derived from faith, into that image...

A mountain of bones stretched out at her feet, as if all of humanity in the world had perished, their remains piled up beneath her.

The scorching wind blew across her face, her white dress billowing in the breeze, seemingly a flickering flame in this world of the dead.

A pitch-black sun hung alone in the sky, without stars, moon, or light, as if it were not the sun at all, but merely an empty hole in the sky from which flames flowed.

She walked past a corpse, its limbs severed, clad in red armor and a leaping backpack. The corpse murmured the name of the deceased, the last name being Saint Gilles. It still remembered its duty as a messenger of death...

She walked past a skeleton, wearing a helmet that exposed its chin and bearing the symbol of a lightning bolt and an eagle on its chest. The skeleton spoke of the great cause of unification, of how the Golden Emperor had fought alongside them...

She looked up into the distance, where, under the dark sun, a headless demigod stood holding a warhammer, gazing into the distance at that depraved realm, filled with hatred and sorrow.

She...she suddenly stopped and looked up into the distant subspace, where she heard a call.

"My lord?" she asked.

But the call did not extend to her.

She looked in the direction the summoning pointed, and she saw the black knight.

The silent Black Knight, the hollow Black Knight, the Black Knight who is like a pure weapon.

And so, the Black Knight's body was ignited by golden psionic energy... a wisp?

A burst of flame flashed across the Black Knight's body for a moment, then vanished in an instant.

She watched this scene with a puzzled expression... Why did my lord interrupt the summoning after only a moment?

She didn't understand what was happening, but... our lord was summoning this black knight... summoning his champion.

This was by no means a casual act; my lord must have had a profound purpose.

What happened where the summons came from? Was there any danger?

She didn't know, but she was determined to fly there, even if it would take a long time, even if she couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the call.

But she still had to go....

So, Cyrusine spread her wings.
