Alright. Kei thought for a moment, then nodded slightly in agreement.
The Drukhari's technology had indeed caught up to the Ynnari's. In Yvraine's arsenal, just the psychic manifestation of a single Wraith Knight could easily overpower Lelith, even after she had upgraded to a Fourth-Generation Wraithbone Body.
But in the Warhammer Universe, Drukhari were by no means a weak force.
Even without Cegorach's technological support at the current stage, the Drukhari forces under Lelith's command still possessed top-tier technologies such as Third-Generation and below Wraithbone Body enhancements, Soul Shard control, genetic modification, and Soulrending weaponry.
In fact, the Harlequin's space-time gene was co-created by Lelith and Cegorach.
In terms of genetic research, Lelith's achievements were arguably not far behind Taldeer.
Robbing her was honestly... not a bad suggestion.
"...Can you locate Lelith?"
In Taldeer's eyes, a spark of intelligence flashed.
Kei had only said some words, yet he had already inferred a lot.
First, this Dimensional Demon God clearly didn't think much of the infamous Drukhari Queen.
Second, judging by his tone and behavior, this being disliked trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn't be seeking cooperation with the Ynnari. Unless… he had already pinpointed Lelith's location, and it wasn't too far away.
Otherwise, how would someone who hated trouble accept Yvraine's random suggestion to mess with the Drukhari?
"What's in it for me if I tell you?" Kei raised an eyebrow, not answering directly.
"Nothing. Eldar have long lifespans. For answers I'll eventually get, I choose to wait patiently." Taldeer smiled faintly.
This kind wordplay...
Sorry.
She was immune.
"What can the Ynnari gain by working with you?" Yvraine asked again after a moment of silence. Clearly, compared to her former kindred Lelith, she cared more about the future of Eldar civilization.
Though the other party's words sounded a bit like a lion's greedy bargain... From his demeanor, it didn't seem like he intended to take all their technology and give nothing in return.
"It's a completely different magical training system from anything known in your universe. If integrated with your Infinity Circuit, hmm... the one who fully controls the circuit could gain power that transcends dimensions."
Kei casually revealed the full path of Kamar-Taj or more accurately, the Chaos Magic of the Ancient One.
As long as the Infinity Circuit could analyze it completely, someone like Yvraine could break through the usual limits in no time.
"...Let me think it over." She remained silent for a while and didn't give an immediate answer. Obtaining power beyond her current level and mastering top-tier technology from beyond the known universe was certainly tempting, but she was Yvraine, Emissary of Ynnead.
Every move she made affected all the civilizations under the protection of justice and order.
"Alright, just let me know when you've decided." Kei didn't press Yvraine or Taldeer for a decision.
After all, he hadn't come here just for that technology. To him, it was just the cherry on top, at most, something to help improve the strength of his forces on a broad scale.
"Jain Zar, your mission has changed. For now, stay with the Dimensional Demon God."
Yvraine pushed down her tangled thoughts.
"Yes, Emissary Yvraine." Jain Zar tapped her chest armor with a closed fist and bowed respectfully.
"Wanna hear a secret? Yvraine's legs, smooth like the finest wraithbone, curves like..."
"Taldeer! Don't you run!" With Taldeer's teasing and Yvraine's slightly embarrassed and annoyed shout, their psychic projections cut off abruptly.
Jain Zar, hearing the last exchange, had a playful smile on her face. She knew of Farseer Taldeer, but since Taldeer kept to herself most of the time, even after living for thousands of years as a Farseer of Ulthwé, Jain Zar had only seen her a few times.
She hadn't expected Taldeer and Yvraine to be that close. Even a joke like that didn't really make Yvraine angry.
If she had to borrow a term from Holy Terra... Besties?
Thousands of years as a Farseer, but still with a dreamer's playful heart... Kei looked at Jain Zar in front of him and sighed inwardly.
Someone like Jain Zar, though she was a Phoenix Lord and a battle-hardened warrior who had fought countless wars, had, undeniably, always lived under the protection of greater forces.
With the Ynnari shielding her from warp and pain,
Without having to shoulder the rise and fall of Eldar civilization or the burden of justice and order's survival, she retained a bright, youthful mindset.
System, duplicate Jain Zar's [Webway Technology].

[Obtained:

Kei stored away the two chairs into the Primordial World.
Seeing that the trait was still inactive, and given it was a golden one, he chose to activate it immediately.
A massive stream of data-like information surged into his mind.
The soul-based power system of the Warhammer Universe, the foundational use and control of warp energy, and the Immaterium's interference with and impact on reality, all of it quickly became clear to him.
It was like a highly intelligent computational system had just appeared before his eyes.
With just a thought, there was no need to split his attention for calculations or simulations; [Webway Technology] within him could handle most of the thinking tasks for him.

[Fusion? Yes/No]
---
"Jain Zar, wait for me here for a bit."
Instinctively, Kei sensed that this fusion would bring about a massive transformation.
After telling Jain Zar that, he immediately transferred himself into the Primordial World.
He reminded Teresa and Clare inside Eden: no matter what happens, don't panic, and then chose to initiate the fusion.
Buzz~
A tremor from the soul level made Kei's knees buckle slightly, and the Primordial Force within him began to violently shake.
Two completely different power systems began to fuse under the might of the System. The ground of the Primordial World, once covered in starlike dust, transformed into streams of data and code, which reassembled moments later.
Chakra, mana, natural energy, sage chakra, spiritual energy, warp energy, low-tier planetary energy, mid-tier cosmic energy, primordial force... Each of these energies was translated into data and re-manifested in the Primordial World.
After the restructuring of the fundamental power systems: Ninjutsu, magic, sage arts, ocular powers, space-time techniques, astral projection...
Ability after ability was rapidly analyzed in different ways and reconstructed in their optimal form. Following these came, elemental powers, special abilities, and conceptual abilities... all undergoing orderly analysis and reconstruction.
Who knew how long it took... As a prismatic stream of light carved a dreamlike arc across the world, the stardust beneath his feet and all kinds of special and conceptual powers began to coalesce into an altar, shaped like a compass.
Chaos energy formed the yin-yang symbol beneath his feet.
Around it, time, space, replication, beheading, hyper-breeding, love, contradiction... each became a conceptual ring.
Beyond that, another ring: bliss, sterilization, wisdom, destiny, repentance, sorrow, reincarnation, debt, gravity, psyche, memory...
All of his abilities had seemingly been reorganized from the ground up. But more importantly, after the fusion of [Webway Technology] and [Primordial Realm Lord], it was as if the entire Primordial Realm had become the webway itself!
At this point... could you still call it just a technology?
Even that ridiculously powerful Infinity Circuit "Black Library" in the Warhammer Universe couldn't possibly possess the energy of an entire dimensional world!

(Infinity Circuit Cortex has been activated. Please name the cortex.)

A voice different from the usual system tone rang out in his mind—mechanical, but brimming with authority.
"Labyrinthian."
Kei curled his lips into a bright smile.
Shamelessly borrowing the ancient Eldar term for the infinite pathways of the Webway, because his Labyrinthian was way more powerful than their ancestral creation.
No need to think through attack strategies or calculate how to defeat enemies.
Just lock on.
Elemental bombardment, matter definition, genetic rewriting, conceptual rewriting, rule rewriting...
The Labyrinthian Circuit will calculate the most efficient method.
Even though the techniques were still the ones he currently possessed, could the results even be compared?
This was...
EVERYONE MOVE ASIDE. IT'S TIME FOR ME TO START SHOWING OFF IN STYLE!
