Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

The brief conflict ended with the Eldar leader fleeing and Arabelle wounded.

After all, the people who came here were leaders and bigwigs, so despite this accident, order was quickly restored in the clock room.

Howard helped Arabelle sit down in the corner. The previous conflict damaged her original eyes and mechanical eyes, so she was now blind. But when Howard supported her, she immediately grabbed Howard's hand and asked about his condition.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Howard replied.

He saw the blood from Arabelle's ears, nose, and eyes congeal.

At this time, Char walked up to the two of them and handed them a clean, wet handkerchief.

Howard wanted to help Arabelle wipe the blood off her face, but she instinctively shrank back when the handkerchief touched her face. After hesitating for a moment, Arabelle pulled the handkerchief out of Howard's hand and fumbled to wipe the blood off herself.

"Are you a soulless person?" Char asked after seeing Howard and Arabel assign tasks.

Soulless?

This was the first time Howard thought about this question.

Any intelligent life has a projection in the subspace. The more powerful the projection, the brighter it is. Even the weakest intelligent life will project a faint light like a firefly in the subspace.

As for the Emperor, the strongest of mankind, legend has it that his projection in the Warp is an icy sun, and any filthy things in the Warp will be annihilated after looking directly into the light of this sun.

And these projections formed in the subspace are souls in the general sense.

Howard's understanding of the Warhammer universe from his past readings of the Soulless is that they are not literally soulless. Logically, a soulless person would have no projection in the Warp, but in reality, the Soulless in the Warhammer world do have a projection in the Warp, though it's a black hole.

In other words, if the soul power of an ordinary person is a positive number, then the soulless person does not have a soul, but his soul power is a negative number.

Therefore, the soulless have earned the title of "untouchable," because their negative soul energy absorbs and offsets the positive soul energy of ordinary people. In the material universe, this characteristic manifests as ordinary people's instinctive aversion to the soulless. For example, even if the air quality monitoring equipment shows normal, people will always perceive the soulless as having a foul odor, because this instinctive aversion comes from the soul level.

At the same time, the Soulless can also suppress the psychic energy of other psychic devices in the surrounding area, making these devices ineffective. It is said that even if a powerful Soulless does nothing, just by existing, it can paralyze all psychic energy devices within dozens of kilometers.

The Soulless are a curse, but also a blessing, because negative souls are useless against the monsters and demons in the Warp, and the Soulless are completely impossible to be corrupted. At the same time, their anti-psychic properties make them a powerful weapon against the power of the Warp. The Sisters of Silence, composed of many Soulless, are still one of the Empire's most useful troops to counter the Warp.

"I don't think I am." Howard finally gave this answer.

Because after he came to the Warhammer world, it seemed that he was not disliked for no reason, and no one had ever said that he had a bad smell or anything... except for the Eldar just now who said that the smell on his body was very disgusting, but Howard knew that it was most likely caused by the Chaos Mark left on his forehead by Slaanesh, and had nothing to do with him... The most important thing was that he had Om Messiah, whether Om Messiah was a Machine Spirit or something else, it was inevitably related to the Warp. If he was really an Untouchable, Om Messiah should have crashed directly.

"If you weren't Soulless, your brain would have exploded like a berry struck by a bullet if you faced Adeline's psychic energy directly." Char leaned forward and said, "We were standing far away and it felt like a flashbang. Arabelle, who was a little closer, was almost completely incapacitated. How did you manage to withstand it unscathed?"

"Um...then...then I am a soulless person?" Howard shrank his neck and said tentatively.

But unexpectedly, Char still shook his head: "If you were a soulless person, you wouldn't be able to grow this big."

Howard knew that what Char said was right, because the Soulless were not actually a very rare mutation. It was just that most of them were wiped out by humans or subspace creatures in their childhood. There were very few Soulless who could grow up to adulthood with the ability to protect themselves and serve the Empire.

I understand. I am Schrödinger's soulless person with a flexible soul.

But these words were only complained in his heart, and Howard did not dare to say them out loud.

However, after thinking about it, Howard basically understood that he really had no soul. His soullessness was not like that of the soulless people, whose projection in the subspace was negative, but simply zero, which was nothing.

Although it goes against common sense, humans in reality do not actually have souls, or in other words, all current scientific research in reality has no evidence to support the existence of the soul.

"Then what do you say I am?" Howard spread his hands, meaning that although I have guessed it, I can't tell you. Just tell me your analysis.

"I'm guessing you're a Soulless," Char said. "But you're one of those extremely weak Soulless, so ordinary people can't detect your abnormality. Perhaps one day we can find someone who is very sensitive to psychic powers to test... But I digress. This isn't the main issue we're discussing."

If Howard didn't understand the setting of Warhammer, he would think Char was a bit stupid. He analyzed for a long time and eliminated the most easily obtained correct answer, but it's not his fault.

Because in Warhammer, humans have been a naturally psychic race since ancient times. Every individual possesses psychic powers, but powerful individuals can control and utilize this power, while weak individuals only leave a projection in the warp. However, every human has a soul, and this is a default in the Warhammer world.

Char's analysis of Howard's soul based on his reactions is like analyzing a person's zodiac sign based on their personality. In the normal human knowledge base, you can only be one of the twelve zodiac signs. But then, an alien suddenly arrives. Their homeland has thirteen months in a year, and they were born in the thirteenth month. What sign do you think they are?

Now Howard is the "alien", so it is understandable that they cannot analyze Howard's essence.

Then Char stood up straight and said, "After our discussion, we have decided to agree to your request for cooperation."

"Oh." Howard responded coldly, because this was within his expectations. Howard would have a different reaction if the final conclusion was that they did not agree to cooperate and that he, the person who had seen the true faces of the leaders, would be eliminated.
