Warhammer: Become a Saint Starting with the Banner of Souls

The battle ended even faster than Qin Mo had anticipated.

When the number of demons released from the Myriad Souls Banner exceeds three times that of the opponent, and each one has been enhanced by Qin Mo's spiritual power, the so-called superhuman warriors are nothing more than this.

The resistance of the Word Bearers was fierce, but madness could not overcome the gap in strength.

Their enchanted weapons can harm demons, but the demons' spirits, nourished by the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, possess near-infinite regenerative abilities.

But the demon's counterattack was truly formidable.

The situation is even worse for the Alpha Group.

Their advantage lies in tactical coordination and covert infiltration, but these advantages are completely ineffective in head-on melee combat.

Moreover, they had been thoroughly enraged by Qin Mo's verbal attacks, losing their ability to make calm judgments, and their fighting style became reckless and chaotic.

However, amidst this one-sided massacre, Qin Mo noticed something interesting.

On the west side of the battlefield, three Word Bearers dressed in dark red armor stood out from the other warriors.

Instead of charging forward with chainsaw swords or blasters, they stood at the rear, gathering and releasing flames and twisting lightning.

One of the Word Bearers suddenly thrust the lightning bolt in his hand forward, striking a demon head-on.

The demon's spirit trembled violently the moment it was struck, letting out a painful scream.

A fist-sized hole appeared in his chest, and the hole healed much slower than physical damage.

Qin Mo's gaze immediately sharpened.

"oh?"

He stared intently at the three special Word Bearers, his divine sense surging out like a tide, analyzing the energy fluctuations on their bodies thoroughly.

"This power... is neither spiritual power nor demonic power." Qin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"But it is indeed a power at the soul level, capable of directly affecting the spirit and the spiritual body. Essentially, it does touch upon the threshold of the path of the soul."

He turned his head to look at the system screen in his mind.

Before he could even ask, the system had already proactively displayed an explanation:

[System Description: The special power observed by the host is psionic energy, a psychic force originating from the warp in the Warhammer universe.]

Psionic users are called psionicists. They are born with the ability to resonate with the warp and can manipulate warp energy through mental power to achieve various supernatural effects, including but not limited to telekinesis, precognition, mental attacks, fire control, and space-time manipulation.

The essence of psionic power is a channel established between the user's mind and the warp. Psionicists draw energy from the warp through this channel and then transform it into various effects using their own mental power as a medium.

This is somewhat similar to the principle of communicating with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through spiritual roots in the cultivation world, but the path to achieve it is completely different.

[It is extremely important to note that the use of psionic energy carries immense risks. The warp is teeming with chaotic entities and demons. Each time a psionicist uses their energy, they are essentially opening a rift between the real world and the warp, making them highly vulnerable to detection and exploitation by those within the warp. At best, they may be tempted and corrupted by demons; at worst, they may become a gateway for demonic invasion of the real world.]

"Psionic..." Qin Mo pondered the word, nodding thoughtfully.

"I see. No wonder they were able to harm the demon within the Myriad Soul Banner; they were essentially using the same source of power. Attacking a product of the subspace with subspace power naturally inflicts effective damage."

but.

That's all.

Although the psionic attacks of the three psionicists could damage the demon, the amount of damage was extremely limited.

Given their psychic power, killing a high-level demon enhanced by the Myriad Soul Banner would likely require hundreds of concentrated attacks. And the demons would never give them that chance.

Minutes later, the last Word Bearer psyker was also pinned to the ground by the three demons. His power armor was torn to shreds, and he collapsed on the ruins, covered in blood.

The battle has officially ended.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Mo caused the Myriad Souls Banner to tremble slightly, and all the released demons receded like a receding tide.

All that remained on the battlefield were wreckage and dozens of Chaos Space Marines who were no longer able to fight.

Some of them lost arms, some had their power armor torn apart, revealing their bloody and mangled bodies, and some had their legs shattered, leaving them paralyzed on the ground.

The Space Marines' superhuman physique allowed them to remain conscious despite their injuries, which was both fortunate and unfortunate.

Fortunately, they are still alive.

Unfortunately, what lies ahead may be even more terrifying than death.

Qin Mo slowly walked up to the group of defeated soldiers.

The Dark Apostle knelt on the ground, his scepter broken in two, and his left arm torn off from his shoulder.

But his eyes remained fierce as he stared intently at Qin Mo.

"You're not going to kill us?" the Dark Apostle asked in a hoarse voice.

"What's the rush? You'll still have one last bit of use before you die."

After saying that, he immediately used the Soul Searching Technique.

"Come on, let me see what's going on in your heads."

The Dark Apostle sensed a terrifying mental force invading his brain.

That force pierced through his mental defenses, like an invisible hand reaching into his skull and beginning to search through his memories.

"No—!" the Dark Apostle roared, suddenly mobilizing his remaining spiritual power to resist.

Spiritual energy erupted from his body, attempting to construct a mental barrier to expel Qin Mo's consciousness.

however.

Qin Mo's spiritual foundation is built upon his sea of ​​consciousness at the peak of the Mahayana stage.

That sea of ​​consciousness was as vast as the stars and the ocean, carrying the immense spiritual power he had accumulated over thousands of years of cultivation.

The Dark Apostle's psionic resistance was nothing more than a tiny ripple in the face of this ocean.

Qin Mo didn't even try to suppress the other party's resistance; his divine sense simply flowed over naturally.

The Dark Apostle's mental barrier shattered into dust the moment it made contact.

"Ugh—!!" The Dark Apostle screamed, his whole body convulsing violently, his eyes rolling back, and a large amount of saliva mixed with blood and foam gushing from his mouth.

His memories from the past ten thousand years were revealed without reservation before Qin Mo's divine sense.

Qin Mo's consciousness sank into the torrent of memories of the Dark Apostle, and a massive amount of information was absorbed by his divine sense at a speed far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

He witnessed the Great Expedition, a magnificent epic of humanity's journey into the stars.

Then, betrayal.

Horus rebelled. Half the legions sided with Chaos. The Empire descended into civil war. The Emperor was mortally wounded and imprisoned forever on the Golden Throne.

A war that lasted ten thousand years.

Qin Mo continued flipping through the pages.

He saw the names and images of the other legions.

Iron Warrior, Son of the Emperor, Death Guard.

He saw Abaddon, the leader of the Black Legion and the instigator of the Thirteen Black Crusades.

At this moment, he is leading the most powerful military force of Chaos to attack Cardia.

He saw Kadia, the most fortified fortress before the gates of the Eye of Terror. It had never fallen in ten thousand years. But this time… the onslaught of Chaos was fiercer than ever before.

He also witnessed the Empire's resistance: the Cadian Commandos, Space Marines, the Mechanicus... countless people fought and bled on this planet.

More importantly, he saw the Chaos Gods.
