Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 39: Subspace Projection, Psychic Awakening
In the afternoon, Rhodes returned to the cave to rest, while Sister Anna, Captain Dress and others were still there monitoring Behmonstan's movements.

"Lord Rhodes! I boiled some hot water for you and cooked some military food." The young medical nun handed a pot of boiled tea to Rhodes and said.

These things are all high-end goods in the Astra Militarum, and only those above the rank of Sergeant Major can enjoy them.

Because of Rhodes' current special status, a batch of food was sent over. Rhodes nodded and took the food and water handed over by the medical nun.

The tea had a light fragrance, and Rod felt that it was not as delicious as the brick tea he had bought on the street before!

However, the military canned food has been replaced with one that tastes better. It tastes a bit like beef and is not as bad as before.

Actually, Rhodes never dared to ask what kind of meat was in the military cans. As long as it was edible, it was fine. If he asked too much, he was afraid that he would not be able to eat it.

"Thank you! I am indeed a little hungry after a tiring day."

"I should thank you, Lord Rhodes. You are truly one of the Emperor's chosen ones. We all saw the giant divine machine.

It has grown from more than 50 meters high to 80 meters high, and its entire body is shining with golden color.

Those Space Marines all said that it was a very strange metal, even harder than their ceramic steel armor!" Elena said while looking at Rhodes.

I never expected that the Emperor's chosen one would actually appear before me.

No wonder the other party has physical fitness surpassing that of a Space Marine without undergoing any surgical modification.

He possesses such a powerful divine machine, and it can be operated by one person.

The two chatted in the cave, and the little nun began to talk about her background.

A little girl from the agricultural world, she joined the order at the age of 8, and showed a gentle and caring character at the age of 15.

He was selected to join the Medical Order, and after three years of training, he faced the Zerg army for the first time on the battlefield.

"In other words, you just turned 18 this year?" Rhodes glanced at the medical sister and asked.

She's still a young girl! I didn't notice it before, but now I see that this medical sister is really young.

"Well! This is my first time on the battlefield. I was supposed to intern in this agricultural world for another three years and provide medical services to the Astra Militarum stationed here." The medical sister said.

Rhodes learned this in a subsequent conversation.

The little nun's biggest wish is to return to the medical sisters' training institution when she is about 50 years old after completing her service to train new medical sisters, and then die of old age and live out the life of an ordinary person.

In the Warhammer world, being able to live to the age of fifty and die of natural causes is already a great happiness.

At night, Rhodes lay in the cave, covered with a military coat, and fell asleep, meeting Zhou Gong.

Confusedly, Rhodes' spirit seemed to have come to a hazy world. In this space, Rhodes was sleeping like a baby.

At this moment, Rhodes' body emanated a strange light, and his spirit seemed to be connected to a certain space, forming an unknown force.

In that hazy space, a terrifying purple monster seemed to smell something tempting. After seeing Rhodes, it immediately pounced over with a look of surprise.

Some red, black, and pink monsters also rushed to where Rhode was. At this time, a giant with a very tall stature, shining with golden light and wearing gorgeous golden armor suddenly appeared beside Rhode.

The golden-armored giant emitted a dazzling golden light. All the monsters that approached Rhodes were immediately burned to ashes after coming into contact with the golden light.

The huge golden-armored giant just quietly stood beside Rhodes' spirit body, destroying all creatures that approached.

At the same time, the golden light emanating from his body continued to illuminate Rhodes' spiritual body.

Like a huge sun, it emitted warm golden light, nourishing Rhodes' spiritual body.

It was not until dawn when Rhodes' spirit body left that the golden-armored giant disappeared.

A ray of sunlight shone on his face. Rhodes opened his eyes comfortably and stretched.

I slept very comfortably last night, and my whole body was warm, as if I had endless energy.

At this moment, a golden light flashed in Rhodes' eyes, and a subspace energy was forming in Rhodes' body.

Rhodes found that there seemed to be a flash of golden lightning in the palm of his hand.

Holy shit! What the hell is going on?
Why can I make lightning with my bare hands? It's a fucking golden Pikachu version of lightning!
"Hmm!" Rod's awakening seemed to wake up another person. The little nun woke up beside Rod.

Then he immediately widened his eyes and looked at Rhodes in disbelief.

At this time, Rhodes' eyes were shining with golden light, and a ball of golden lightning appeared in his hand and kept moving.

"Your Majesty, this, how is this possible? Aren't your eyes burned? Lord Rhodes, are your eyes okay?" The little nun immediately rushed to Rhodes and spoke.

At this time, Rhodes looked at the little nun in a daze. The golden light in his eyes dissipated, and his pupils returned to normal. The golden lightning in his hands also disappeared.

"Elena, what's wrong with you? Did something happen to me just now?"

"Lord Rhodes, you, you just used psychic power!

And, and your eyes, my goodness! Your eyes are like those of the Astropaths, but, only, they are bathed in the light of the Emperor.

The eyes should not be saved, no mortal eye can withstand the light of the Emperor."

Psychics are an important tithe of the Empire, and all psychics will be taken away by the Empire's black ships once they are discovered.

Then they will be divided. Those who cannot control their own power and are timid and cowardly in character are not worth cultivating. They will become firewood for the empire and be served on the emperor's table.

Those who can control their own psychic powers will be appointed by the Empire as legal psychics and join the army, or become members of the Astronomical Court to navigate various Imperial warships sailing in the universe and deliver important messages.

The most powerful ones will become the think tanks of various chapters, or the people of the Inquisition. The value of psychics is immeasurable.

"You mean, I just slept and then became a psychic?" Rhodes asked in surprise.

"Yes, Lord Rhodes, can you see the light of the Astronomican? You should be able to see it."
