Warhammer: Become a Saint Starting with the Banner of Souls

Chapter 99 From now on, you shall be called Gu Huo.

Qin Mo held the inner core of the Devouring Green Owl in his palm, examined it carefully for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the modified demon body in front of him.

He wants to conduct an experiment.

Let's see if we can integrate this inner core into this body.

If successful, this body will not only be able to circulate spiritual energy, but will also possess a natural spiritual energy storage core.

For demonic beasts, the inner core is equivalent to the dantian of a cultivator. It can store spiritual energy, condense spiritual energy, and even autonomously circulate spiritual energy.

Qin Mo took a deep breath and began to operate.

He first used his spiritual power to create a space in the chest cavity of the great demon's body, essentially creating an artificial dantian. Then he slowly sent his inner core into it.

This process requires extremely precise control. The wind-attribute spiritual energy contained within the inner core is extremely violent; if not properly integrated, it could tear the body apart from the inside.

Fortunately, Qin Mo was a Mahayana cultivator.

This level of operation is not difficult for him.

Spiritual energy, like silk threads, connects the inner core to the meridians of the body, one by one.

With each connection, spiritual power is used to solidify it further.

The wind-attribute spiritual energy within the inner elixir began to flow slowly along the newly opened meridians.

His body trembled slightly. Then, everything returned to calm.

Successful.

Qin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back to examine his work.

This modified body is now completely different from what it was before.

The inner core has been perfectly integrated into the dantian in the chest cavity, and wind-attribute spiritual energy is slowly circulating along the reconstructed meridian system.

This means that this body now possesses the ability to circulate spiritual energy, while the inner core provides the ability to store spiritual energy.

What pleased Qin Mo even more was that after being purified and strengthened by the Golden Wheel of Merit, this body was still emitting a faint golden light.

Those were the traces left after the power of merit permeated into the flesh and blood, making the entire body look both majestic and... sacred?

A treacherous demon radiating golden light.

Qin Mo's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the scene.

If the people of the Empire saw this, their brains would probably be fried.

However, he did not change the original appearance of this body.

Blue feathers, a bird's head, enormous wings—all the iconic features of Tzeentch have been preserved.

Qin Mo felt that maintaining this appearance would definitely come in handy in the future.

It has many uses; it all depends on how you use it.

After completing all the preparations, Qin Mo turned to the soul that was still kneeling on one knee, waiting for orders.

"This body is yours now." Qin Mo pointed to the body. "Go inside."

"Yes! Thank you, Lord."

The soul responded respectfully, then transformed into a stream of light and entered the space between the eyebrows of the body.

His body jolted violently.

Azure spiritual energy surged forth from the inner core, flowing and circulating along the meridians.

Those once empty eyes lit up again, their pupils sparkling with wisdom.

The adaptation process is quick.

In less than ten breaths, the soul had completely taken control of the new body.

It stood up.

A faint golden light emanated from his body, while a sharp protective gust of wind swirled and roared half an inch from his skin, stirring the surrounding air into a buzzing sound.

That's the effect of the wind-attribute inner core operating autonomously, equivalent to a protective barrier that's always there.

Qin Mo looked him up and down, then nodded in satisfaction.

"It blends well."

"From now on, you'll follow me," he said. "Let me give you a name. Your original name was too difficult to pronounce. Now that you're with me and look like a bird-like monster, let's call you Gu Huo."

Yes! Thank you, Lord, for the name!

Gu Huo excitedly knelt down on one knee again, his voice full of gratitude.

"Gu Huo will do his utmost to serve the Lord and repay His grace!"

However, after saying that, it suddenly paused for a moment.

I feel like I've heard this sentence before.

It seems like I've said something similar somewhere before?

But no matter how hard I try, I can't remember.

Never mind, it's probably just my imagination.

Before it could think any further, Qin Mo's voice rang out again.

"Now try to control the power of merit within your body and withdraw the golden light."

"Yes, my lord."

Upon hearing this, Guhuo focused its attention on the warm and sacred power within its body. It tried to guide that power back inward, no longer letting it emanate outward.

The process is not difficult.

The golden light gradually receded, slowly retreating from the surface of the body back into the depths of the flesh, and finally disappeared completely.

Now, standing in front of Qin Mo is a Tzeentch Great Demon that looks exactly like him.

Blue feathers, bird head, huge wings, and its whole body exudes a ghostly blue luster.

If one does not use divine sense to perceive it, anyone who sees it will immediately recognize it as a high-ranking demon of the Tzeentch.

A perfect disguise.

"Hmm, very good." Qin Mo nodded. "Don't emit golden light without my permission in the future."

"Yes, my lord."

"Alright, go and stay in my storage ring."

Qin Mo raised his hand, and a faint light emanated from his storage ring.

Gu Huo's figure was enveloped in light, and the next moment he disappeared from the spot and was put into his storage ring.

Qin Mo's storage ring is a high-end item, with a spacious and stable interior. It's more than enough to house any living creature, let alone a dragon.

After doing all this, Qin Mo finally turned his attention back to the environment in front of him.

The cockpit of the Titan. Qin Mo's lips slowly curled into a smile.

"Next, we should take over these Titans as well."

Qin Mo's divine sense instantly enveloped all the Titans on the battlefield.

He planned to do the same thing, directly controlling the machine souls of these Titans, and then using the souls in the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls to strengthen and replace them, turning them into his own war machines capable of autonomous combat.

However, the moment his divine sense probed into the cursed artifact, Qin Mo's brows furrowed slightly.

Not right.

The soul of this Warlord-class Titan, as well as the souls of the surrounding Marauder-class and Warhound-class Titans, were all enveloped by a strange blue energy.

The energy was like a tightly adhered film, completely covering every inch of the machine soul, and had even penetrated into the internal structure of the machine soul, becoming completely entangled with it.

This is the power of Tzeentch.

"These are... garbage code viruses?" Qin Mo muttered to himself.

He had learned about this kind of thing before from the memories of those Star Guardians.

The Code Virus is a tool used by the Chaos forces to corrupt Imperial Machines. It can infiltrate the logical circuits within the machines, distorting their operation.

The way it operates is to make it work for chaos.

But after careful consideration, Qin Mo felt something was amiss.

Ordinary invalid code viruses should parasitize the machine soul, much like parasites attaching to a host. Theoretically, as long as the parasite is removed, the host can return to normal.

But the blue energy on these machine spirits is no longer a simple parasitic relationship.

They have completely merged together, each containing the other, making it impossible to distinguish between the machine spirit and the virus.

"It seems a little different? It looks like it's completely fused with the machine spirit?"
