Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 359: Psychic Battle
……

In a secret room aboard the Indomitable Truth.

The entire secret room is about 300 square meters and there is nothing furnished. The only thing that was originally in the secret room is the gorgeous carpet on the floor.

"This carpet was used by the royal family of the Achaemenid Empire during the Terran War of Unification."

Luther opened the secret room and took Qin Xia in.

Now all the think tanks on the Indomitable Truth lined up to enter the secret room and wander around.

"Does the carpet used by the royal family of the Achaemenid Empire have any special function?" Qin Xia asked while looking at the carpet.

He did know about the Achaemenid Empire.

This was a force during the Terra Unification War, skilled in the use of psychic powers. The first batch of Terran warriors of the Thousand Sons Legion came from the Achaemenid Empire.

"Yes, according to legend, this carpet is woven from the fur of a psychic creature and cast with some special psychic spells, so it has the effect of enhancing willpower."

"Take another look at the entire chamber."

Luther walked to the wall and pointed at the ornate patterns on the walls of the secret room.

"This secret room was not built by our First Legion. Instead, it was 'cut' from the palace in the capital of the Achaemenid Empire and placed inside the flagship. It was originally the meditation room of the Achaemenid emperor."

"The entire meditation room is made of a special metal that can enhance psychic response."

After Luther finished explaining the origin of the secret room, he walked to the door.

The think tanks have begun to prepare to cooperate with Qin Xia in psychic transmission. They have sat down and used their usual meditation or contemplative postures to enter a state where they can use psychic energy at any time.

Qin Xia sat cross-legged in the middle of the think tanks, and Yesugei left a seat for him there.

"I'll be waiting outside. Call me if you need anything." Luther finally said to Qin Xia. When Qin Xia nodded, he opened the door of the secret room and walked out.

Some people stood outside holding various tools made from the ashes of the soulless.

Luther glanced at the members of the special team responsible for preventing psychic energy from getting out of control, and waited silently against the wall of the corridor.

Within the secret room.

Qin Xia was the last one to close his eyes.

In his psychic vision, he saw the Storm Prophets, Rune Priests, and Dark Angels Librarians present.

These people exist in a way that their will is materialized into psionic entities, and their appearance varies.

Qin Xia saw that Yesugei was a snow-white fox, lurking in the treacherous environment of the subspace, treating everything cunningly and cautiously.

The other psychics are also different, including men, women, young and old, animals and objects.

That was not their soul, nor was it a projection of their soul, but rather an entity that embodied the waves caused in the warp by certain characteristics of theirs.

And Qin Xia is Qin Xia. His physical form is a giant who has not yet been transformed but is nearly three meters tall, wearing the same gorgeous armor that he wears in the material world.

Everyone is waiting.

They were fully focused and extremely cautious, uniting together as if facing a powerful enemy, sensing everything in the outside world.

It was not until they sensed that Qin Xia had joined in that they began to investigate Ran Dan No. 3 with extreme caution.

Qin Xia saw Randan No. 3, and saw that there was a spherical alien in every fortress on the planet. Those were the psychic aliens seen on the hangar deck before, but their psychic powers were incredibly powerful - compared to the psychic alien that was thrown into the subspace and torn apart by Salum.

And when the psychic aliens sensed the perception of the uninvited guests, every think tank felt that they were being targeted.

Everyone's vision zoomed out at the same time, and they saw the light spots on Ran Dan No. 3. Each light spot on it represented an alien that was concentrating on manipulating psychic energy.

Not only Ran Dan No. 3, but also Ran Dan No. 2 and Ran Dan No. 1 are all psychic aliens.

They are not even just in galaxies, they are everywhere in the Milky Way. Even those that once existed in the long river of time in the past are now shining and gathering into a whole.

The wills of the think tanks except Qin Xia were shaken. What they saw was no longer a galaxy, but a darkness. In the darkness, a sphere was suspended, and a crack slowly cracked on its metal surface. One eye was staring at every human who tried to challenge it.

"That is the collective will of all psychic aliens!"

Qin Xia heard Yesugei's cry echoing in everyone's mind at the same time.

The sphere disappeared instantly.

What is presented to everyone are various scenes from the past, present and future.

A chaotic scene mixed with the present and the future appeared.

Qin Xia saw the fleet of the Twelve Legions sailing in the subspace, and saw an alien creature that could travel in both the subspace and the real universe heading towards the fleet. Their numbers were suffocating, and they rushed towards the fleet like a swarm of insects covering the world.

Not only the 12th Legion fleet was facing those alien creatures, but the fleets of other legions as well. The different fleets now gathered together and overlapped.

Qin Xia began to intercept those alien creatures. His will set off waves in the subspace, and a large number of strange alien creatures were crushed, but a small number of them were still missed and entered the fleet, and penetrated Geller's position with their ability to travel in the real universe and the subspace.

Qin Xia saw that this creature was the same strange subspace creature that was able to break through Geller's force field when the 12th Legion was heading to the assembly point.

They could have directly relied on their numbers to defeat the fleet, but because of their interception, only a small number of them entered the fleet and were cleared out.

It’s just something that happens in one place.

At another time point overlapping with what Qin Xia saw, Ran Dan No. 3 was being attacked by whirlwind torpedoes. The psychic aliens devoted some of their energy to deflect the whirlwind torpedoes directly into the subspace.

When the White Scars were ordered by the Lion to approach the Randan III and deploy a reconnaissance force, the psionic aliens prepared to destroy the ship carrying the army.

Qin Xia once again interfered with the think tanks. The psychic aliens were unable to stop the ships from deploying the army, so they accelerated the flow of time in the entire Randan III, allowing the slaves driven by the Sloss alien allies to build fortresses everywhere in a very short time.

As the flow of time gradually slowed down, the White Scar Legion's reconnaissance troops were active on the surface of the planet. After a long and arduous reconnaissance operation, the information was obtained by humans.

There are also many things happening simultaneously in the past, present and future that are influenced and interfered with by psychic aliens or think tanks on the human side, thus changing the outcomes.

Qin Xia no longer focused on defeating the influence of the psychic aliens at various nodes on the timeline at the same time. He began to devote some of his energy to directly fighting the psychic aliens themselves.

The entire Randan No. 3 is protected by psychic aliens. In Qin Xia's eyes, this protection appears as a black light curtain.

The transcendent existence formed by the collective will of the psychic aliens also began to exert influence on Qin Xia and the think tanks. This was a more intuitive confrontation of spirit and will. They intended to shake or destroy each other's will by exerting similar mental shocks on each other, thereby winning the victory in this psychic confrontation.

The think tanks are extremely cautious, and their main energy is used to protect their own spiritual will rather than to shake the spiritual will of the aliens.

Because at this time they are equivalent to releasing psychic spells, continuously using the subspace, and every decision they make involves risks.

Every psychic is equivalent to a wizard without blue bar limit, even the most ordinary psychic is like this, but these "mages" need to make a random probability judgment when casting spells. If the judgment is successful, they can survive. If the judgment fails, their heads will be blown up, their souls will be scattered, and they will become a flesh door from the subspace to the real universe, which can lead to various tragic endings.

With such huge risks, any think tank that is clearly aware of the dangers of psionic talents will not act rashly.

"Don't call psychic energy directly from the subspace." Qin Xia's voice echoed in the consciousness of every think tank, "Call psychic energy from me."

There is only one source of psionic energy, and that is the Warp.

Even though Qin Xia could absorb and filter psychic energy now, the think tanks didn't know how to use it. So he personally influenced each think tank, and those think tanks who were able to realize how to absorb psychic energy from themselves were given the opportunity to use psychic energy without taking any risks.

No matter how hard Qin Xia tried, he was unable to enable the think tanks to call upon their own psychic energy. They were directly kicked back to the real universe along with their spirits and wills, and were not allowed to participate in this psychic confrontation.

After Qin Xia made such adjustments, the think tanks tried a few more times. After experiencing the sweet taste of completely safe psychic power, they began to use psychic power continuously and multiple times more frequently than before.

The confrontation between these think tanks and psychic aliens is like two collective wills throwing psychic attacks at each other in the warp, but one of them is on the ship of the Indomitable Truth, and the other is entrenched in the corresponding structure of the planet Randan III in the warp.

The think tanks began to knock on the light curtain formed by the psychic alien on Randan No. 3. Their own subjective feeling was as if they were continuously releasing mental shocks to a target.

Qin Xia sensed the main forces that would be teleported to Randan No. 3 in the future, and he "picked up" those main forces.

The aliens were targeting him.

Qin Xia realized that if he rashly sent his main force to Randan No. 3, it would definitely be intercepted by the aliens, and the soldiers in the main force would be killed.

The Randan No. 3, which is encompassed by the alien's will, needs a gap.

The think tanks' continuous psychic attacks have forced the collective will of the psychic aliens to divert some of their energy to deal with them. Qin Xia looked at Randan No. 3, the fortress located in the underground cavity chosen by Ryan.

Qin Xia concentrated his attention, preparing for a full-strength attack that would drain all of his spiritual energy several times over.

When he finished preparing and released the psychic attack, a white light spread from the Indomitable Truth to the surroundings, and the collective will of all the psychic aliens collapsed in an instant.

Taking advantage of this gap, Qin Xia deployed the main force onto Randan No. 3 and evenly distributed them to various corners of the fortress, ensuring that the people who were teleported down could launch a powerful attack the moment they left the portal.

The main force was sent down.

The spirits and wills of the psychic aliens began to re-condense. Some of those with strong psychic talents and those who had not suffered much mental trauma had begun to exert psychic interference on the human enemies who had been teleported away.

But there were not many of these psychic aliens, and they could only stuff some powerful combat units from the main force back to the Indomitable Truth. After trying several times, these powerful psychic aliens no longer wanted to intercept human landing.

They hid themselves, hiding under the psychic projection of the entire race, and were only ready to take action in critical events that could lead to the destruction of Randan No. 3, such as another whirlwind torpedo being dropped.

Qin Xia wanted to find these powerful psychic aliens and kill them one by one, but one psychic alien after another kept attacking his will and attracting his attention.

These psychic aliens also have a special method to hide their soul projections, just like the Eldar prophets who use an object to prevent their soul projections from being directly exposed to the creatures of the warp.

However, as long as these psychic aliens no longer gather into a spiritual entity, a collective will, they will not be able to exert any influence on a large-scale warp teleportation.

In addition, Qin Xia discovered one thing in this confrontation that spans the past, present and future, that is, Randan No. 3 itself can no longer be called the real world. Those psychic aliens have transformed it and anchored it - Qin Xia sensed that the planet has become different from the planets outside the Randan galaxy.

Simply put, physical attacks such as whirlwind torpedoes are simply not capable of destroying the Ran Dan No. 3.

Ryan's plan is either totally unfeasible, or... he has a kind of psychic weapon that cannot be clearly stated. This psychic weapon is simply called "cyclone torpedo". Its function is completely different from that of a cyclone torpedo. It is a psychic weapon.
