Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

In addition to the machine soul, Titan also retains the memory bubbles of all life that has existed here since ancient times.

The vast majority of them belong to the memories of those psykers who existed as psychic batteries and were brutally surgically forcibly merged with Titans.

Pain, a flood of pain.

Every drop is as heavy as a mountain, enough to crush the pain of a strong soul.

They converged into streams and rivers, and finally hit Calvin's soul like a tidal wave.

While the indescribable soul pressure forced him to accept these memories, it was like a sticky and thick liquid, making him feel as if he had returned to a time before he was extraordinary, almost drowning him.

During surgery, the pain is as painful as the flesh being cut alive;

The pain of the soul being squeezed and deformed when forcibly bound to the Titan's machine soul;

The crushing agony of a Titan's soul being drained along with his psychic powers as he was called to war;

And finally, as long as sanity still exists, the pain of regret for one's misfortune, reluctance, and reluctance to be born a psyker.

The emotion of black despair is like poison. Together with the purple pain, it has been brewing for a long time in the blood and tears of countless victims, and has become a cup of mellow and strong poisonous wine.

And drinking this glass of wine is an essential ritual for everyone who dreams of controlling a Titan.

Without experiencing the pain of these people, how could their souls that once existed and were integrated with the machine soul recognize your existence?

If you cannot experience the residual echoes of these real pains and maintain your sanity, how can you be worthy of being in charge of this human god built on countless sacrifices!

The crown of victory never belongs to those who only know how to get without giving, and these fragments in the Titan Machine Soul think so too.

If you can't even pass these basic tests, how can they be willing to let you drive them to gain glory?

This is probably the reason why every generation of drivers must be untouchable.

And he must be a male, and he must be born with a cold mind without any mercy.

Because hidden under the surface of soulless people, they are actually just one of the ordinary sentient beings.

Even if there is even a little bit of empathy here, these mortals who can barely protect themselves under the black wave will be swallowed up and destroyed in an instant.

Being unable to sympathize or not daring to sympathize is worse than having no sympathy in the first place.

Fortunately, Calvin does not belong to this group. Endless black tides hit his path to the depths of Titan from both sides. And he chose to accept all the malice and tests that came to him. The black water, which is extremely poisonous to any soul, flowed into him like a mud cow into the sea. After being absorbed by all comers, he could no longer see anything. trace……

You know, these are the emotions and thoughts left behind after the soul of an Alpha level psyker is completely broken!

Throughout the entire history of the Imperium of Man, how many psykers have truly reached the Alpha level?

Every Alpha-level psyker that ever existed was the most valuable asset of the Imperium of Man, and the most beloved sacrifice to the gods of the Warp.

Even in the collection of any demon king in the subspace, this can be regarded as a rare masterpiece. In comparison, even ten times what Calvin had gained on the previous battlefield would not be as good as what he had here.

After the long whale sucked up the black tide here and wiped it clean, Calvin was delighted to feel that the progress of his soul had progressed by an insignificant ten thousandth.

Although it is still too small compared to the total progress, this is already the highest record of emotions that Calvin has absorbed in a single time.

The black tide dries up in the disbelieving eyes of these illusions of souls. As Calvin continued to walk deeper, he could already see the machine soul of Titan itself standing at the end of the road.

The scene changed again, and the perspective of Calvin, who had reawakened after contact with the machine soul, changed to a state of being held by the Titan's giant hand.

The emotions of machine souls are expressed in their unique binary language. Calvin has no chance to learn it, but fortunately, the fluctuations in the lowest level of essence allow him to understand the other party's intentions:

"Are you satisfied with my ability to clean up impurities?"

"Are you also willing to sign a contract with me?"

"But it must still be you as the leader?"

"What if I don't agree?" Calvin asked.

"Then I will destroy you!" This was the machine soul's answer.

Calvin slit his eyes tightly and looked at the big black hands holding his body. Each of the fingers made of steel was thicker than the barrel of a heavy cannon.

"I think..." Calvin tried to shake his body and pull it out of his palm:

"We can talk from another angle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Calvin's soul in the spiritual world began to open the palm of the machine soul. Driven by the soul, his body grew larger and larger, eventually becoming the original appearance in his spiritual world.

The light of divinity shone from him, and the volume of billions of souls within him caused his body to grow with every breath, surpassing the height of the Titans, surpassing the height of the Webway Arch, and finally surpassing the height of the surrounding valley.

"So, what now?" Calvin's huge face looked down from above. He stretched out his hand to repay his previous treatment, grabbed the Titan Machine Soul, and held it in his hand.

"…………You have the final say." The confused Machine Soul said.

"It's a deal! Phew!"

Calvin changed himself back to his original size and said with some guilt.

Fortunately, the head of this machine spirit is not too strong, otherwise with just one blow, it would be able to see through the illusion that Calvin is using the mortal souls in his body as his essence...

boom!

After communicating and calming down with the machine soul, Calvin finally drove the heavy body of the psychic titan to take the first step.

The ground seemed to have been hit by a heavy siege hammer, and the gravel stirred up by the shock beat repeatedly with the fluctuations.

The soil could not withstand the pressure per unit area. The originally solid soil seemed to have been plowed by heavy artillery, easily sinking the Titan's soles into it.

The poor working conditions in the driver's seat made Calvin stop with a frown:

The power supply cables of the psychic crystal chamber have been completely destroyed, and the path of the cogitator's servo in the instrument and button operation has also been damaged.

Fortunately, Calvin's own soul is special, so he allowed the meditator at the core of Titan to use the waste of the psychic shunt coil for the untouchables under the driver's seat. While using the conductive psychic energy in reverse, he used his own brain as a Outrageous transformations of information operation terminals are possible.

The operational information was displayed on his pupils, and the originally complex operations were simplified to the extreme through his will.

This should have been exciting good news, but as the equipment status list displayed by the self-test program results appeared, he was really worried about how far this Titan could go.

"Self-test completed, status list is being transmitted..."

"The structural strength of the entire machine is 58%, the list is as follows..."

"Strengthen the skeleton status by 70%..."

"Ceramic armor status 65%... (right shoulder damaged, cab damaged)"

"Void Shield 55%... (only three layers left, originally six layers)"

"The upper limit of the output power of the plasma reaction furnace is 95%..."

"Driving Structure (Spirit Cross) 55%..."

"Meditator servo 45% + 60%... (including Calvin's own brain-computer function.)"

A truly terrible state, Calvin commented inwardly.

It can only be said that it can still be used, but if it is used forcefully in this state, if it is severely damaged, it will almost lose the possibility of repair.

"The weapon array status is 61%, the list is as follows..."

"The left arm shadow power claw/cannon output power is 96%..."

"Right arm Saturnian laser cutter (sword) 17%..."

"The two Adex-type near-explosion-proof artillery pieces on my waist are in complete condition, but the remaining ammunition is insufficient..."

"The two Adex type double close-range laser cannons on the back are in complete condition..."

"The two Apocalypse-class missile launchers overhead are in complete condition, with 0 ammunition remaining."

In general, neither the close-defense weapons nor the Apocalypse missiles could be used, and the remaining war blades could not be used many times. The only thing he could count on was the psychic annihilation weapon in his left hand.

The Titan's body is driven again, and the fully opened foot cushioning device not only reduces the pressure per unit area to a minimum, but also uses low-frequency shock waves to signal the arrival of this giant to the enemy...

The enemy and ourselves on the front line have completely fought together. The soldiers who are red-eyed do not need orders. They only rely on instinct and bravery to fight off the waves of demons.

But in front of the big demon and its elite knights, it was just a helpless struggle.

After receiving the notification from Calvin, the Revenant Redeemer in orbit made a clear announcement on all channels asking the soldiers on the central front to take shelter on both sides. But in front of these people who have forgotten what retreat is, the effect is minimal.

The last interdicting shots from the macro cannon shells have been fired, but how effective they can be can only be left to the ground.

Lord Khorne smiled triumphantly. The great sword in his hand was shining more and more with the blood he drank. The magic lines on the sword spread like life with the rhythm of breathing, thirsting for more blood and souls.

No one could stop it, even the charging chariot was split into two under its furious slashes.

Invincible, after it penetrated the last position in front of it, it was only within reach of the goal of this trip.

But just when it was about to organize its army and harvest all the mortals who had begun to be divided on the battlefield, its extraordinary hearing made it keenly aware of the changes in the direction of the valley.

Boom...boom...boom...boom...

Heavy low-frequency tremors came from inside the valley, and the gravel on both sides of the pass fell in fine pieces. In Lord Khorne's surprised and confused eyes, a black and red figure, as tall as a tower, walked out of the pass!

"Salix's **! Why is there such a thing here!"

After the demon lord cursed loudly, he asked the subordinates around him in disbelief.

But no one or no demon answered its question, because for the demons, this apocalyptic scene that only existed in the battle between gods also shocked them.

"It's so exciting!"

At this time, Calvin was fully driving his psychic energy to supply the operation of the Titan. Driving such a big guy for a long time was a heavy burden on Calvin.

Different from the sudden glimpse on the "Little Throne" on Terra, a huge amount of psychic energy was continuously extracted for a long time, and he alone could replace the work of at least three alpha psykers. Even with his majestic spirit, Energy stocks also feel a huge burden.

Fortunately, after 30 years of service as a castle master, he has systematically learned how to use his psychic powers. Under the guidance of theoretical guidance, his psychic powers are not squandered as randomly as before, and his output is more precise and clearer. His state awareness greatly improved the efficiency of his psychic energy use.

The state of mind is deepening, and the ocean of ether is responding to his arrival.

The spirit is rising, and the believer's savings respond to his call again, and the majestic spiritual energy rises and falls around him like a tide (corresponding to the empire's spiritual energy level - δ);

Going deeper again, the practitioner’s control allows the spiritual energy to change shape according to his thoughts (corresponding to level-β);

But this was not enough. Going deeper, the wisdom and will of the philosopher made his eyes light up with white-gold light again. The blue laurel leaf ring on his head and the crown made of steel in his soul began to coincide with each other. (Corresponding grade - α);

But that's not enough! He can go even deeper! The glow of the flame of order lights up from the center of the crown! For the first time, the divine soul took up the power in His hands and demonstrated His majesty!

Since the Emperor and Malcador, mankind has never set foot in a field that no third person has set foot in. After a lapse of 900 years, a new Walker (corresponding to the classification - α+) is once again ushered in!

The coalition of gods stopped killing at this moment, and the mortal soldiers who felt something about it also turned around and looked at the giant spirit that was still visible several kilometers away.

The arrogant demons looked at the black-red giant shadow with solemn expressions. The Titan and the existence driving it also deserved their attention.

Psychic Titan? The undefilable?

The great demons of Khorne and Tzeentch had these two concepts running through their minds at the same time:

The destruction brought by the former means that the battle has been decided so far, and even they cannot compete with this existence without preparation;

The latter is an ancient concept that is almost forgotten. Each such unique existence in the long river of time means the seeds of gods and a new eternal holy war.

They no longer care about the outcome of the current war. How to return to Father God's kingdom alive as soon as possible and tell Father God everything here is the most critical thing!

But no chance! How could Calvin, who knew the importance of his existence, give them a chance to return to the subspace?

He used all his strength to transport his power to the machine soul, and the latter's huge soul also cooperated with his will:

first step! "Holy stance! (Original Psychic Titan skill - Fear Shroud)"

The black-red Titan lifted his left leg and stepped heavily onto the ground! The amplified silver psychic wave is almost visible to the naked eye! While the rolling impact sweeps the entire battlefield and tests the will of all chaotic beings, it also completely fixes the spiritual energy field here, preventing any demons from using communication and teleportation opportunities!

Step two! "Storm of Order! (Original Psychic Titan Skill - Repulsive Storm)"

The white-gold psychic lightning and the stirred up storm converged on the Titan's head, eventually forming a crown made of lightning and storm!

The branches it projected caused the big demon and its minions who tried to get closer to be blown over like toys!

third step! "Hand of Destruction!"

But unlike the dark jets fired by the Titans in the past, Calvin's psychic attributes determine that this attack will not tear the opponent into pieces and then throw it into the subspace.

Driven by him, when the ten-meter-thick platinum jet swept towards the demons across half the distance of the battlefield, they clearly knew from their instinctive trembling:

If you get hit this time, you will really die!

Two in one, please vote.
