Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 217: The Holy Light in the Book
An uncontrolled Alpha-class psyker had appeared in the Primarch's inner court, and the danger level of this incident was even comparable to the Dark Angels dropping four hundred drop pods.

Luo Xi had not expected the situation to escalate to this extent. The naked girl in front of him was surrounded by psychic energy fluctuations that were almost solidified. Her body had developed into that of a girl, but her mind remained the same.

A subspace rift opened up beside her, and Joey controlled her psychic power like those naughty children digging out ant holes, constantly taking out some strange subspace creatures from the rift.

If ordinary psychics are vulnerable in front of the Warp Demons and may even become their bridge to the real universe, then the situation is different for an Alpha-level psychic like Joy. At least when facing those ordinary demons, she can tear them apart as easily as tearing paper.

"Listen, Alina, the situation is no longer something we can easily control."

Luo Xi pulled Joey's mother aside and said to her solemnly, "I am making a final attempt. If she cannot control her psychic power, then we can only consider the overall situation."

The woman from Cowes was devastated and couldn't understand why the situation had turned out like this.

Everything was going very smoothly, and the Titus Think Tank had even temporarily sealed Joey's psychic power.

Seeing Elena's panic-stricken look, Luo Xi was helpless, but now this woman was the important reliance for controlling Joey.

Joy's mind is still that of a child. Although she controls powerful psychic powers, she is still attached to her mother.

"You must pull yourself together and try to comfort your daughter, or we will have to take action."

Luo Xi's voice became serious, and his raised volume broke the panic that enveloped Alina's heart.

She stood up tremblingly, still shaking all over, but forced herself to control her body with reason, and walked towards the naked psychic girl who had broken free from the instrument and was floating in the air.

"Joey, it's mommy, be obedient and come down quickly."

The psychic girl who was taking out some sub-space snacks suddenly turned around and showed a happy expression to her mother.

"mom!"

Joey's attention was instantly diverted and she threw herself into her mother's arms, but her body, which had become that of a teenage girl, obviously could not allow her to snuggle in her mother's arms like a two-year-old child.

Alina hugged her child tightly, feeling her body temperature. Joey's body temperature was very cold, even with a hint of wetness from the melting of frost and body temperature.

The director of the think tank was cleaning up the mess on the side. He slowly healed the torn Warp rift with psychic power to prevent those Warp creatures from taking the opportunity to escape.

The think tanks of the Ultramarines were on high alert. They formed a loose circle and surrounded the Alpha-class psyker in the center.

In her mother's arms, Joy was looking for a familiar feeling and was obviously resisting it, especially towards Titus Prieto. Her bright eyes were brewing the hostility of a child.

She remembered this big guy in iron armor who seemed to want to do something bad to her.

Joey bared his teeth fiercely and instinctively shot out a psychic lightning.

Winding electric currents were born from the void. The warp responded enthusiastically to the girl's call. The power from the sea of ​​souls surged in, and Titus had to divert his energy to deal with this attack.

"Alina!" said Luo Xi. He was ready to let the untouchable team who were in position outside enter.

"Stop, Joey, keep quiet and be obedient!" Alina panicked and stroked the girl's face with her hands. Her face still looked the same as before, but much more mature.

"Mom? They are bad!" The girl complained with a slightly crying voice. She didn't understand why her mother would side with those strangers.

"I'm very angry!" Joey was still angry. There was an inexplicable anger in her heart, driving her to vent her dissatisfaction.

Joey's every move, including his expression, was under Luo Xi's watch. He felt a pang in his heart. This was obviously unusual.

The child had just unconsciously killed those malicious beings in the subspace and seemed to have eaten part of them. Luo Xi didn't know what would happen if he ate part of the demon's essence, but at the moment, Joey showed a more unstable mental state.

This is obviously not a good thing.

Joey was originally a blank sheet of paper, but the malice from the subspace inadvertently stained it with its own color. An ordinary human child would at most break some things when he loses his temper, but if an Alpha-level psychic like this loses his temper, it would be a big trouble.

The furnishings in the Think Tank Monastery began to shake under the influence of an invisible force; even the decorations on the gorgeous meditation rooms were broken off.

The heavy metal tables and chairs broke away from the influence of the planet's gravity and began to rotate and shake under the control of a human's will. Joey demonstrated his outstanding telekinetic psychic talent.

The surrounding think tanks acted together. Their well-honed psychic powers were able to maintain the same frequency and merge with each other. They attacked with the psychic binding network of the Titus core, trying to bind the psychic girl again.

The Librarians struggled to fight against the Alpha-class psykers before them. They had to use their skills and willpower to fight against psionic powers that were stronger than them.

"Damn it, think of a way, any way." Luo Xi's scalp tingled. He flipped through his memory bank, trying to find a way to stop the rampaging psychic girl.

In a hurry, he reached into his pocket for the book of essays written by Lowell McKeon, the chronicler of the Amatra legend.

After the conversation with the Word Bearer hermit, Luo Xi remembered his advice and kept this essay with him.

He has always been a man who is willing to accept good advice. Now that the hermit has reminded him of this, he has put aside his contempt and his mentality of taking chances.

"Anyway, let's give it a try." Luo Xi couldn't think of a way to have the best of both worlds for a moment. Either let the Untouchables completely subdue Joey and then kill him, or try the method of psychic metaphysics.

With trepidation, he held the book of Lowell in his hands. He opened the essay, which he had read several times, and tried to recite the words and feelings.

As his voice began to sound, the ordinary essay in his hand actually emitted a golden flash, and a special psychic power began to take effect.

The golden light began to spread with the book as the core. When the light shone on everyone, everyone felt a kind of tranquility and peace from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially for think tanks like Titus, when the golden light shone on them, their psychic eyes felt a stinging pain, as if they saw the shadow of a sun in the vast and unpredictable warp space.

The book that recorded the struggle, perseverance and sacrifice of the people of Amatra became a carrier of a certain power and will, enabling the sun to project power across time and space.

And in that golden light shining at the core of Joy, deep streams of smoke emerged from her naked body. They screamed and emerged from the psychic's body under the light of the book, and then disappeared without a trace like water vapor evaporated by the sun.

"What! This book can also burn the power of Warp Demons?"

Luo Xi felt incredible. He had read this book many times before and could even recite much of its contents by heart.

He was sure that this was just an ordinary book, recording at most the stories and feelings of the people during the Battle of Amatra.

How could such an ordinary book actually burst out with the magical power to expel the evil forces of the subspace?
His intuition told him that this was another mysterious psychic power, a power that was difficult to explain with science and reason.

"Can the collective faith of mankind really create a tangible power in the warp? This book from the Battle of Amatra condenses the power of faith of everyone on that planet, making it a holy object in a sense?"

Luo Xi could only use this superstitious metaphysical concept to explain, otherwise he could not explain why a book could suddenly emit golden light and expel the malicious forces in the warp space.

After being illuminated by the Book of Lowell, Joey indeed calmed down. Her face was peaceful, just like a real child, and she fell asleep with the comfort of her parents.

Seeing this scene, Luo Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no disaster occurred.
