Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 85 Change and Awakening

Five years!

Five whole years! Five years later, another five years... Um, sorry, I'm off topic.

The last impression Calvin had before he fell asleep was the action 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 hibernation.

His soul needed to further adjust its form for the newly acquired authority during this hibernation.

When the adjustment of the soul was close to perfection, it was also the beginning of the chain reaction of adjustments of the body to adapt to the changes of his soul.

This continuous and systematic adjustment took Calvin five years.

The soul took three years and the body took two years:

In the first year, Calvin's soul was working hard to adapt to and use the new authority.

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

Calvin had too many unknowns and confusions about this road. And the only knowledge he could clearly know about this road at present was:

This is a sublimation road with the upward upgrading and qualitative change of the soul as the ladder and symbol.

An indispensable basic step on this road is authority.

With authority as a reference, the soul of the sublimated divinity is slowly adjusted in a direction that is more in line with authority.

Whenever the power of an authority is fully mastered by the soul, it means that the soul adjustment at this stage is nearing its end.

The integrity of authority and the acquisition of new authority will give the soul more power and variables on the way up.

So what Calvin has to do in hibernation is just the initial adjustment in the above work.

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

The side reflected in reality is the abnormal changes at a certain stage when he has not yet awakened.

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

They exhausted their memories and could not specifically describe any facial features of Calvin!

This strange phenomenon was confirmed to be a common phenomenon after they communicated with each other!

Could it be that someone has tampered with the memories of these outstanding Grey Knights? And these Grey Knights, who are all masters of psychic power, have not noticed it yet?

Who can change the memories of all of them silently without being discovered? Does such a person really exist?

Confused and uneasy, they found the Supreme Grand Master Walden who was busy with official duties and told all their experiences to this elder who they believed to be the most trustworthy.

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

If it weren't for the reminder of the Paladins, I'm afraid he wouldn't have realized that there was such a big problem with his memory.

The Supreme Grand Master immediately called all the members of the Mentor Council who had not yet gone out to perform their missions, and then they found, not surprisingly, that other Grand Masters were not spared.

After urgent communication, the Grand Masters ruled out the possibility that this matter was man-made.

Because no matter what, the Grey Knights, who are all psychic powers, can't believe that there is such a person who can do such a thing.

Without alerting anyone, rewrite the memories of all the Grey Knights in Titan who had ever had contact with the Primarch, and then leave quietly?

Even if the late Lord Malcador, the Prime Minister of Magic Pattern, was alive, he couldn't do it.

Then, the only possibility is that it came from Calvin, the source of these changes.

There must be something about him that everyone failed to notice.

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

After many encryption and security measures were turned on, everyone finally saw Calvin who had not yet woken up in the life support cabin in the medical room.

Calvin's body was still floating in the huge life support cabin and sleeping quietly, and the exclusive pharmacist who monitored Calvin's vital signs all the time also responded to these unexpected visitors with inquiring eyes.

"We have some news about him, and we hope to come here to confirm it."

Out of respect for the pharmacist brothers, although Grand Master Walden did not describe the specific situation in detail, he still gave the other party a symbolic explanation.

After getting the explanation, the pharmacist turned his attention back to Calvin in the life support cabin without asking any more questions.

However, soon, the pharmacist brother seemed to notice something unusual.

He shifted his perspective away from Calvin, and then back again. This repeated several times.

"You also found it?" Grand Master Walden asked him.

"Is this the reason for your coming?" The pharmacist stopped trying to recall Calvin's appearance and looked at the people present.

"Is this the case for all of you?"

"I'm afraid so."

"There is no sign of psychic interference."

"Yes."

"There is no possibility of subspace contamination."

"Yes."

"Then..."

Everyone is still trying to find the reason for this situation.

The Grand Master Walden, who had been thinking, seemed to remember something. He waved his hand to stop the discussion and said:

"So far, I think I have some clues."

He glanced at the people present and said: "The discussion about his changes ends here. No more discussion is allowed."

He turned his eyes to Calvin in the life support cabin and continued: "The changes in him now seem to be just the beginning. Before the final growth is completed, we don't need to make any conclusions. Let's go..."

Although they didn't know the specific reasons, everyone finally chose to believe the judgment of the oldest in the regiment.

In the second year, Calvin's soul and authority were basically synchronized. But it was trapped by the strength of the soul and could not be completed.

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

The synchronization of authority and soul was completed, and the relevant adaptive changes of the body began.

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

His body began to further optimize its psychic organs without increasing height or weight:

For example, his vocal cords and pupils were memorized by the body because of the high frequency of psychic use, and were strengthened to a considerable extent at this stage.

Another example is the psychic channels derived from his arteries throughout his body to adapt to the high psychic use...

But these transformations were not smooth. They were stuck at a certain key node due to the quality of his cells; cells with too low energy levels could not bear the latter's construction and subsequent use intensity.

So after the first three years of soul transformation, his subsequent spontaneous physical transformation was stuck in this delicate situation due to the progress of cell deconstruction.

This stuck for another year.

In the fifth year, after the cell activity in his body was close to 30% of the primary cells, the last prerequisite for physical transformation was finally supplemented.

The construction of his psychic channels was also completed quickly within a few weeks after being fully prepared.

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

At the moment when Calvin's complex transformation was completed, his whole body was suddenly enveloped by a ball of psychic light.

His body entered the critical state first, and his heart began to beat strongly. Driven by the former, the blood rushed to the whole body to deliver more nutrients.

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

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

In other words, the pharmacist used psychic power to penetrate the halo that mortals could not see, and what he saw in his vision was only Calvin in his memory.

Such Calvin made the pharmacist brother who was also a psychic instinctively feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He didn't even know whether what he saw was true or false, or that the Calvin he could see now was just the Calvin he wanted to see.

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

And Calvin in the life support cabin in his field of vision seemed no different from before, but also seemed a little different.

Without hesitation, he pressed his white gauntlet hard on the red button representing an emergency.

Suddenly, all the people in the base who knew about Calvin's hibernation were alarmed by the alarm, and a group of grand masters who had not gone out immediately walked here quickly from all corners of the Titan Fortress.

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

The grand masters were also listening to the pharmacist's report while examining Calvin's body with their own eyes.

After communicating with each other, they discovered the fact that the Calvin they saw from their perspective seemed to have some subjective interference effects. The Calvin seen by everyone was roughly the same but not exactly the same.

Just as the great mentors were about to discuss this further, Calvin, who had completed all the transformations in the life support cabin, finally opened his eyes again after five years.

His silver-gray eyes attracted the attention of everyone present the moment they opened.

The starlight like the Milky Way gathered in his eyes, and the compassion of divinity and humanity intertwined in it to form a sacred scene.

Such an extraordinary face shocked everyone present, and that person seemed to make them feel proud just by looking at them.

And this silence did not last long before it was broken by Calvin in the life support cabin.

A psychic message sent by him was received by everyone present:

"Well, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Cold, Calvin. A little happy, but at least today's update must be guaranteed. Asking for votes.
