Chapter 158 - Chapter 158: Divine Manifestation Interrupted

The moment Zhang Ge touched the seat, in the perceptions of the surrounding Sisters, a psychic power that was so immense that it was hard to imagine suddenly began to fill the entire Pillar of Skulls.

The red light in those hollow eye sockets did not last for half a second before it was completely annihilated. The consciousness remaining in the hundreds of thousands of skulls of pure people that had been accumulated over countless years was instantly washed away by the psychic power that swept through them in that moment.

The instrument that originally directly detected the soul and searched for its essence by communicating with the Warp was completely out of control at this moment. The violent energy poured out along the "tentacles" that extended into the Warp, and no operation could get a trace of feedback.

What color was that?

There was no color, it was the pure white manifested by pure Warp psychic power.

Usually, mentioning Warp energy was referring to the Warp evil energy manipulated by the four Chaos Gods... But in reality, the Warp itself was "neutral", just like the Materium that quietly accommodates everyone.

When the Chaos Gods used those energies, it was "evil energy", and when the Emperor needed it, it was naturally "Divine Manifestation".

But at this moment, the manifested Warp energy was neither. It was the most primordial form.

And what caused all this was not the subjective manipulation of anyone.

It was just a Warp Rift that could not be directly perceived by the naked eye.

Usually, the generation of a rift was extremely short-lived. Just like ships used the Warp to travel at faster-than-light speed, they would open a rift between the Warp and the Materium and then fly into it. But in this general situation, that rift would be quickly closed by the Warp and the Materium themselves after losing energy maintenance.

However, now, countless Warp psychic powers trying to mend the rift were helpless against that male human who was just quietly sitting in the chair.

The violent white waves rolled, but could not approach Zhang Ge in the slightest.

Even the top Pariah/Blank could not completely isolate psychic power. Even the most powerful psyker could not completely eliminate the influence of the Warp.

But at this moment, countless psychic powers rushed towards Zhang Ge like raging waves, but were shattered like waves that futilely hit the rocks.

No, even waves, hitting boulders long enough, would be enough to wear them away. But at this moment, the value of Zhang Ge being affected by these energies that could distort reality was:

As long as Zhang Ge was in it, then this rift would be maintained forever. If the time scale was long enough, then Warp energy would continue to pour out, eventually completely shattering the barrier between the two universes.

Even the Eye of Terror, the "permanent" Warp rift formed at the birth of Slaanesh, was at most only maintaining balance with the Materium. But the rift at this time was truly one-way, with only inflow and no outflow.

This constantly increasing pure Warp energy even began to nurture the surrounding Sisters of Battle, making them feel as warm and comfortable as if they had returned to the cradle from their souls, and their own strength rose at a perceptible rate.

Although they did not know the reason, in this situation, almost everyone regarded this as another Divine Manifestation of the Emperor.

The reason why it was said almost was because there was only one exception.

Amilia.

At the moment when the anomaly suddenly occurred, she did not have the slightest nostalgia for the power that was surging within her body at this moment. She unhesitatingly drew her sword and turned into an uncatchable afterimage, smashing towards the core of the instrument.

The alarm bell in her heart suddenly struck her heart, and the sense of danger stimulated her skin like a needle prick.

The shortness of her thoughts and the urgency of the situation at hand even prevented Amilia from explaining a word to the sisters around her.

But in the next moment when her figure shot out, everything calmed down as abruptly as it had come.

The jaws of countless skulls were wide open at some point, as if they had begun to laugh, but there was no sound, and the red light that had been extinguished in those eye sockets was replaced by gold.

Warp energy was not completely disordered. It would find a way out on its own, just like flowing water.

Just like they would obey the consciousness and desires of life and create "gods", in order to achieve a certain purpose that was either influenced or guided and needed to be achieved, these energies would change, condense, until they were exhausted or made the purpose a reality in various ways.

This was also why psykers could use these energies to manifest various powers beyond normal logic in the Materium.

Now, these originally confused energies were also "finding" a way to heal the rift on their own, and slid towards this method, completing the repair.

The answer had actually been revealed a long time ago:

Psychic power could not completely affect Zhang Ge. This was a rogue mechanism. Although Zhang Ge subjectively wanted to seek death, just like the human brain could not control every cell in the body, under the constraints of this body, he could not directly control those high-dimensional fragments that should belong to him.

And those fragments were wrapped by him before he crossed over, so they would naturally seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If it was not "neutral" or even "hostile" evil energy, but only "promoting" Blessing, then it would enter his body very smoothly.

So, as long as the psychic power was converted into Blessing through a voluntary transit station and then constantly poured into his body until the psychic energy concentration in his body was greater than the inflowing psychic energy flow, then the relatively stronger psychic power in his body would in turn block this rift.

However, even Blessing was not something that could come just by blessing it.

Although he could not control every cell, the human brain could still indirectly affect the cells by moving the macroscopic limbs - that is to say, at least the Blessing had to be considered reasonable by Zhang Ge in order to not be kicked out under the influence of the "actively seeking death" idea after he reacted.

Obviously, the Blessing at this moment was not in a reasonable column.

So, the scene seemed a little awkward after everything calmed down.

Because for Zhang Ge himself, he didn't actually feel anything. Because these Blessings were not reasonably accepted by him, they could not change his body. They were just used by him as a transit to heal the rift.

He only felt that when he sat down, it seemed that something happened to the machine in an instant, but on the one hand, he couldn't see the whole picture and only felt that his eyes were filled with white, and on the other hand, he was not sure if it was a normal process, so he didn't dare to do much and could only sit quietly in the chair.

And for the Sisters of Battle, this kind of scene was indeed seen for the first time. Even Amilia, who was originally close to the machine on the other side, stopped her movements.

Because they could not detect what happened at that moment, the surrounding Sisters only saw that the movement had been quite loud just now, but it seemed that there was no greater impact except for making themselves a little stronger. Generally, there should be some visions or revelations when this kind of thing happened.

But...if you say it's not a Divine Manifestation? The golden eyes that were staring at themselves and the sisters around them now were not fake. Who knew if the process was not over yet?

The silence between the two sides was broken by Zhang Ge's somewhat hesitant voice after a period of time:

"Has the investigation... started?"
