Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 85 Change and Awakening

Five years!

Five full years!Five years later and another five years... Well, I'm sorry, it's getting mixed up.

Calvin's last impression before he fell into a deep sleep was the movement of the pharmacist brother raising his hand to turn off the light and the dark medical cabin he was in.

After that, he fell into a long dormancy.

His soul needs to further adjust its form during this dormancy for its newfound power.

When the adjustment of the soul is approaching perfection, it is also the beginning of the chain reaction adjustment of the body to adapt to the changes in his soul.

This continuous systematic adjustment took Calvin five years.

Among them, the soul took three years, and the body took two years:
During the first year, Calvin's soul struggled to adapt and use the newborn authority.

The influence of authority on the soul is profound and far-reaching.Calvin had no experience to draw on on this lonely road, with no known predecessors but the gods.

Calvin had too many unknowns and confusions about this path.And the only thing he can clearly know about this path is:

This is a road of sublimation through the upward ascension of the soul and the transformation of quality into steps and signs.

And an indispensable basic step on this path is authority.

Using authority as a reference, slowly adjust the sublimated divine soul in a direction that is more compatible with authority.

And whenever the power of an authority is fully grasped by the soul, it means that the adjustment of the soul at this stage is coming to an end.

The integrity of authority and the acquisition of new authority will allow the soul to gain more momentum and variables on the way upward.

So what Calvin had to do while he was dormant was just the initial adjustments in the above work.

During this year, his soul has made a lot of changes in order to adapt to the new collection and use of "salvation" authority.

The aspect reflected in reality is the abnormal change at a certain stage during the period when he has not yet awakened.

I don't know when it started, the paladins in the honor guard suddenly found that they could not remember the specific appearance of Calvin in one of their meditations and memories.

Exhausting their memories, they couldn't describe any specific features about Calvin!
This weird phenomenon was confirmed to be a common phenomenon after communicating between them!

Could it be that someone tampered with the memory of the best of these gray knights?But these gray knights who are per capita psionic masters are still unaware of this?
Who could change the memories of all of them without being noticed?Does such a person really exist?
Confused and disturbed, they found the supreme mentor Walden who was busy with official duties, and told all their experiences to this elder they thought was the most credible.

The elder's reaction made them a little surprised and disappointed, because Master Walden himself seemed to be one of the victims.

If it wasn't for the reminders from the paladins, I'm afraid he wouldn't have realized that there was such a big problem with his memory.

The Supreme Master immediately called all the members of the Council of Mentors who had not gone out to carry out their missions, and they found that the other Grand Mentors were not spared either.

It is an artificial possibility that the great teachers ruled out this matter after urgent communication.

Because no matter what, the Gray Knights, who are psykers per capita, cannot believe that there is such a being who can do this kind of thing.

Without disturbing anyone, rewrite the memories of all the Gray Knights in the entire Titan who have intersected with the Primarch, and then leave quietly?

Even if the late Prime Minister Malcador of the magic pattern is still alive, it is impossible to do it.

The only possibility, then, is Calvin as the source of these changes.

There must be something changed about him that the crowd failed to notice.

Under the leadership of the Great Mentor Walden, everyone quietly came to the separate medical room where Calvin was.

After heavy encryption and opening of security measures, everyone finally saw Calvin who was still awake in the life support cabin in the medical room.

Calvin's body was still floating in the huge life-support cabin and sleeping peacefully, and the exclusive pharmacist who monitored Calvin's signs at all times also gave these unexpected visitors a questioning look.

"We got some news about him and hope to confirm it here."

Out of respect for the pharmacist brother, although the great mentor Walden did not describe the specific situation in detail, he still gave him an explanation symbolically.

The pharmacist who got the explanation didn't ask any more questions, and turned his attention back to Calvin in the life support cabin.

However, soon, the brother pharmacist also seemed to notice something abnormal.

He shifted his perspective away from Calvin and back again.So repeated several times.

"You found out too?" Great Instructor Walden asked him.

"Is this why you came here?" The pharmacist stopped trying to recall Calvin's appearance and looked at everyone present.

"Is that true of all of you?"

"I'm afraid so."

"No sign of psychic interference."

"Yes."

"There is no possibility of subspace pollution."

"Yes."

"So……"

Everyone is still trying to find out why this happened.

And Walden, the great mentor who had been thinking aside, seemed to have remembered something. He waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion and said:
"At this point, I think I have some clues."

He glanced at the people present and said: "There is a discussion about his changes, so stop here. Discussion is no longer allowed."

He turned his gaze to Calvin in the life support cabin and continued: "The changes in his body now seem to be just the beginning. Before the final growth is completed, we have no need to draw any conclusions. Let's go..."

Although they didn't know the specific reason, everyone finally chose to believe in the judgment of the oldest man in the battle group.

In the second year, the coordination of Calvin's soul and authority was basically completed.However, due to the strength of the soul, he was unable to complete it.

In the third year, after digesting all the gains from his previous struggle with the original demon on Titan, Calvin finally completed the minimum threshold of soul strength.

The attunement of authority and soul is completed here, and the relevant adaptive changes of the body begin here.

In the fourth year, after the further adjustment of the soul was completed, Calvin's body also began to adjust and adapt synchronously with the latest state of his soul.

On the basis of not increasing his height and weight, his physical body began to further optimize the spiritual organs:
For example, his vocal cords and eye pupils were all memorized by his body due to the high frequency of use of spiritual energy, and they were strengthened to a considerable extent at this stage.

Another example is the psionic passages all over his body along the direction of his arteries to adapt to the use of high psionic energy...

But these transformations were not smooth, they were stuck at a critical node due to the quality of the cells in his body; the cells with a low energy level could not afford the latter's construction and subsequent use intensity.

So after undergoing the soul transformation for the first three years, the body transformation that he started spontaneously later became stalemate in this delicate situation due to the progress of cell deconstruction.

With this card, another year has passed.

In the fifth year, after the activity of the cells in his body was close to 30% of that of the first-generation cells, the last prerequisite for body transformation was finally fulfilled.

The construction of the psionic channel in his body was also quickly completed within a few weeks after being fully prepared.

Just like the installation and commissioning process of large-scale equipment, necessary ignition and trial operation are an indispensable link.

At the moment when all the complex transformations on Calvin's body were completed, his whole body was suddenly enveloped by a cloud of psionic light.

His body first entered the critical state, the heart began to beat strongly, and driven by the former, the blood rushed to the whole body at an accelerated speed to deliver more nutrients.

The authority in the soul began to vibrate in a small but high frequency. After the petitioners in the holy city in the spiritual world sensed Calvin's call, loud and clear hymns also sounded from it.

And the pharmacist who had been keeping a close watch on him also found that after the halo appeared, he could no longer see Calvin's appearance.

In other words, what the pharmacist saw after using his spiritual power to penetrate the invisible halos was only Calvin in his memory.

This kind of Calvin made the brother pharmacist, who was also a psyker, instinctively feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He didn't even know if what he saw was real or not, or that the Calvin he could see now was just the Calvin he wished to see.

Just as he was struggling with whether to raise the alarm to wake up the person in charge on duty, the psychic halo suddenly disappeared.

Calvin, who remained in the life-support cabin in his field of vision, seemed to be the same as before, and seemed a little different.

Without any further hesitation, he firmly pressed the white gauntlet on the red button representing emergency.

Immediately, all the insiders about Calvin's dormancy in the entire base were alarmed by this alarm, and a group of great mentors who hadn't gone out immediately walked towards here from all corners of the entire Titan Fortress.

After the master teachers who received the emergency report all rushed to the medical room where the life support cabin was located, the pharmacist informed everyone present of his reason for calling the police and what he had seen and heard.

The great mentors were also listening to the pharmacist's report, while examining Calvin's body with their own eyes.

After communicating with each other, they discovered such a fact: Calvin seen from their perspective seems to have some subjective interference effect.Everyone sees Calvin in the same way but not in the same way.

Just as these great mentors were planning to have further discussions on this, Calvin, who had completed all the renovations in the life support cabin, finally opened his eyes again after five years.

His silver-gray eyes caught the attention of everyone present the moment he opened them.

The galaxy-like starlight gathered in his eyes, and the pity of divinity and humanity intertwined in it constituted a sacred scene.

Such an extraordinary face shocked all the people present, and that person seemed to have made them feel honored just by looking at them.

And this kind of silence didn't last long before it was broken by Calvin in the life support tank.

A psychic message sent by him was received by everyone present:
"Well, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

　Cold, Calvin.It's a bit frustrating, but at least today's update must be guaranteed.Ask for a ticket.
