8 First trip

(Neoth POV)

Centuries have passed and I have made tremendous progress in everything I wanted. Technology, biology, management, everything was going well and even my own power was growing steadily. I have concluded that my actions in advancing humanity will have grave repercussions. The Chaos God Tzeentch should already be born since his domains are change, evolution, knowledge and lies. I managed to cloud my own projects and work from the Warp and have it completely separate by forming a psychic bubble around the Imperator Sominium and the Phalanx.

This works only because my powers are completely separate from the Warp. Humanities advancement has sped up Tzeentch's awakening. I can tell ... I am inside the Warp after all.

I look around and feel all the different and chaotic energies. It is a wonder that he didn't wake up during the War of Heaven. Or any of the Ruinious Powers in fact. Over the millennia of being in this Universe and preparing, I have been in the Warp countless times. I can feel my power rising to unimaginable degrees in the Immaterium. The presence that has been forming has made a jump in recent years and that is concerning. But he is not the only one. 

I myself, have made tremendous progress in all my powers. My physical body is exposed to high gravity. Gravity tools and weapons were the norms in the Age of Technology, so creating something that suits my needs and simulates a Dragon Ball training experience is a simple matter. If I were to compare my physical strength to the time when I fought against the Aeldari, I'd be like a sun compared to a glowing torch. 

I created a contraption that could calculate my current lifting strength and any other type of strength. It looks similar to the one, that Superman used to test his strength. Only that the one I created uses advanced gravitational technology and doesn't use any electricity or something like that. According to this marvellous contraption, I am now capable of lifting or 'bench pressing' the Earth.

Yeah, I was not idle at all. Although if we're honest, it doesn't really matter how physically powerful I am, when the top tiers in this Universe use the Warp and Psychic powers. Nevertheless, it is impressive and gives me a motivational boost. Not that it would matter, but who doesn't like to see the fruits of his labour? As for my advancements in my psychic abilities well ... let me show you. 

.

I have been suppressing Tzeentch from awakening many times over the millennia. I would use this as training and getting even more familiar with my powers. This might sound ridiculous to some. Training by suppressing a Chaos God ... inside the Warp!!

This is also why I am here now. Tzeentch has made considerable progress in forming, due to the latest progress humanity made. I have plans that require me to leave this Universe for a time, so I will deal with him before I leave. 

I move through the Warp, having studied it closely and being familiar with its strange layout. Some might say there is no order or 'layout' in the Warp. But they would be wrong. There is indeed a certain layout, at least in the beginning, the Ruinious Powers have just changed everything. They don't like order and already I see their awakening affecting the Warp. But I don't care about that. I can still find my way and soon, I am 'in front' of the lurking and growing presence. 

I say in front, but that is the wrong word. There is no correct word to describe directions here. I might as well be inside or on top. In the end, it doesn't matter. 

.

Tzeentch notices me and reacts violently like he always does. I can tell that he remembers me. It seems he is growing faster so it will be harder than it was before. 

*BOOOOOM*

*Lighting SFX*

"RRROOOOAAAAAARRRRR!!!!"

Explosions and powerful lighting hit my body. However, that does nothing to me. The consciousness roars in defiance and anger. Suddenly, thousands of portals open all around me. I am impressed, he has grown stronger. From the portals, Denizens of the Warp come out, demons as they will be known. I find that interesting, he created them from the Warp's energy and added his own power to the mix. I take notes of this and remember how he did that. Why should the Ruinious Powers be the only ones to do that? I will change the meta in this Universe.

Creatures of all sizes rush towards me and try to destroy or corrupt me. I can feel the effect of fear that is trying to find its way into my psyche. But I don't feel anything. 

"Pathetic."

I snap my fingers once ... and a big bang takes place. I didn't even use my full power to do this. I focus my immense and seemingly boundless psychic powers and then unleash an explosion, whipping out not only the creatures but doing major damage to Tzeentch's consciousness. 

*SCCRREEEEE*

A pathetic and pained screech is heard across the Warp, as my psychic power hurts him. But he is not finished yet. He refuses to go back to the way he was before.

The Warp shifts again. Blood begins to rain from ... somewhere and reality shifts. Hundreds of thousands of visions assault my mind. I see illusions of death and destruction. I see humanity creating the Men of Iron, the revolt and the huge setbacks. Then I see the Warp storms that separate humanity and its possessions ... I see the Age of Strife ...

My eyes begin to shine golden. My power manifests itself and I connect to the Warp around us. I raise my hand and declare with a loud and booming voice ...

"I will have ORDER!!"

...

Time seems to stop for a moment and then ... everything vanishes. The illusions, lies, the chaotic storms and energies ... even Tzeentch's consciousness disappears as I have willed order in the vicinity. Tzeentch is a being of chaos, so I just used his kryptonite and destroyed his consciousness again. 

.

.

After this, I am finally ready to go on my first trip. My first trip will be to the Star Wars Universe. The reason for this is rather simple. During the time I have been preparing, I have tried to come up with plans concerning all factions. The Orks are powerful adversaries, but their infighting keeps them somewhat in check. What is concerning are the WAAAGHs.

The WAAAGH! is the name the Orks give to the massive military campaigns they periodically unleash on the galaxy as part of their eternal desire to seek out combat and war. Barbaric and savage, the Greenskins spread across the galaxy like a viridian stain. An Ork WAAAGH! is a war on an apocalyptic scale. Orks beyond counting swarm from one world to the next. Whole civilisations are exterminated and defenders' armies are laid to waste as the Orks plough ever onward in an unstoppable tide.

However, beating them is rather straightforward. Straight forward, not easy. A fast and hard fight would be preferable, otherwise they only grow stronger. And if I think about the technology I already have and will create, then Orks won't be a problem. I'll prepare a special fungicide for them. 

.

Moving on we have the forces of Chaos. They are just as straightforward to fight, since I am their perfect counter. As I represent order, I will fight them and I will even take it further than the OG Emperor. I will fight them on their home turf. Those little shits don't know what will hit them. 

Then there are the Aeldari, who will soon become the Eldar. I might contact Isha and maybe even Cegorach before Slaneesh is born. But I'll see about that. I could also kill some of the Aeldari gods to weaken Slaneesh initially. My power has grown tremendously, so that is a possibility. So many possibilities. 

Then we have the Tyranids. It is suspected that the Tyranids came to the Milky Way Galaxy, due to the Astronomicon. So it stands to reason, that they will also come this time. I also want to create the Astronomicon, but I will use it as a weapon. The 'Blank Gene' is something I have been working on during the last few millennia. I am constantly improving and changing the gene seed. In the end, I will make the genetic information of anyone who receives the gene seed, into a blank. 

That way, the Tyranids won't gain anything when they manage to consume any of humanity's forces. And then there is the kamikaze plan. I am in the process of designing a techno-organic virus, that acts similarly to the Bloodtide. The goal is to infect different worlds with this virus and then have the Hive Fleet consume it. After that, it will detonate and destroy the Hive Fleet, not only physically but also spiritually. 

That's the idea for now. 

.

Finally, we have one of the most dangerous factions. The Necrons. A completely robotic humanoid species whose technological prowess is unmatched by any of the other intelligent species of the galaxy ... until I came along that is. I will uncover all of their secrets in time. 

They are not creatures of flesh and blood, these Necrons, but android warriors whose immortal forms are forged from living metal. As such, they are almost impervious to destruction, and their mechanical bodies are swift to heal even the gravest wounds.

Given time, severed limbs reattach, armour plating reknits and shattered mechanical organs are rebuilt. The only way, then, to assure a Necron's destruction is to overwhelm its ability to self-repair, to inflict such massive damage that its ancient regenerative systems cannot keep pace.

Even then, should irreparable damage occur, the Necron will often simply "phase out" -- an automated viridian teleportation beam returning it to the safety of the stasis crypts, where it remains in storage until repairs can be carried out.

.

Their 'immortality' and the 'phasing out' are a problem and make them hard to fight, coupled with their technology of course. But I have an idea. A daring one, but the best one for now. In the first world I will visit, Star Wars, there is a Force ability called 'Mechu Deru'. 

Mechu-Deru was a dark side Force power.

The application of Mechu-Deru allowed the user to instinctively comprehend the inner workings of machinery and circuitry. Through Mechu-Deru, technology could be upgraded to suit a purpose beyond its original intended role, even allowing mechanical devices—including droids—to detect Force-attuned beings.

Users were bestowed the ability to convert robotic machines into extensions of their will, overwhelming their internal circuitry. Attempting to possess the body of a cyborg would drastically transform the victim's cybernetics, enlarging them into a mass of tendril-like appendages.

Such a practice, however, had the potential to backfire, causing the victim's mechanical prostheses to turn against the user. Mechu-Deru was used to combine both the inanimate and the living, allowing the creation of part machine, part organic hybrids known as techno beasts. Using Mechu-Deru, it was possible to imbue the techno beasts with the dark side of the Force, binding them to the will of their creator. The technique allowed the applicator to rebuild and replace parts of their body with cybernetics.

.

It is obvious where I'm going with this. But I believe that I can infiltrate the consciousness of the Necrons using a similar version of Mechu-Deru and stop them from phasing out and returning later on. 

I will also take this even further and completely destroy their consciousness. Project: Infiltration is my way of replacing a Necron consciousness with one of my trains of thought and then gaining all their secrets. But that is still something that is far into the future. 

.

.

I am currently inside the Phalanx together with the Custodes and the first batch of Psykers I have created. When hopping into another Universe, I can only take with me what I touch. If I touch a house, everything inside the house will also follow me. That's why I am taking the Phalanx with me. There is considerable space in there, which will allow me to take anything with me from my trip to Star Wars, that I want. 

I sit on my command chair I created and focus on the task at hand. I think about where I want to go and then ... we simply pop out of existence and back into existence in the Star Wars Universe. 

Time for a major heist
