Isha's cage was deposited in the middle of the Hall of Bones not far from my throne room as we entered Real Space.
Isha herself finally sat up from her rusty filth filth-covered cage, with me taking in the 'beautiful' blond Eldari goddess.
For a brief moment, I felt something in me stir at the sight of the woman... Then it was suppressed as I thought. 'Disgusting xenos goddess. I only-'
I paused with a heavy and furious frown crossing my face as I shoved down the illogical hate that bloomed in my mind and heart at the sight of Isha.
Nurgle was a literal pile of shit in more ways than one... But he didn't lie to me. When my mind, soul, and body were reforged, clearly something was wrong with the current me.
So I put down the idea of pulling a Vulcan and burning the unarmed Eldar non-combatant alive.
And I then said quietly. "Nurgle's cage will not only keep you in place. But it will keep Slaanesh's gaze from you in real space."
I closed my eyes as I felt the tides of the Warp roiling as Nurgle furiously churned through the Warp searching for me.
But I wasn't in the warp anyway, as already the Warmind was shooting through space at more than lightspeed via dimensional compression tunnels. Getting us well away from the sight of where we exited the warp.
Then Isha's soft but slightly ragged voice spoke out. "For whatever you are. You are far better to look upon then my previous host at least."
Idly I said. "I am human."
Then I felt a sinking feeling as she asked in turn, instantly but with no malice. "Are you though? I see my own kin's work on your form and soul."
I finally opened my eye's and looked upon Isha truly as I suppressed my emotions. "I call myself human... And that's enough. That's all I can keep to myself at this point."
My eye's closed as Isha settled herself to gather her essence, knowing this was a rare moment of peace.
But for myself... My mind was roiling furiously as I wondered where the souls of my friends were. Were their souls physically and metaphysically on Terra?
If they were. How could I get them without...
For a long moment I considered just unleashing the true strength of the Halo Rings. Let the dead Necrons have the galaxy as I wipe away all life forms. Damn humanity, damn the literal demons, the Tyrranids, and everything else in this shit hole of a universe.
Then, with a chuckle, I said it. "You know what... Fuck it. I already am playing with fire. This galaxy needs true peace similiar to the quiet after the War in Heaven."
Isha's voice then spoke kindly. "You are a broken thing who has suffered. But you plan to what? Destroy the entire galaxy or something?"
With an honest smile that felt... So light with all the fury and hate I had been forced to feel beyond my own control for the last few months. I responded. "Physically destroy the entire galaxy, no. Not at all. I will kill every single living thing to starve the warp while I collect all the souls otherwise."
My hand on the Warmind tightened as I considered it all. If I expanded the Warmind itself to the size of a solar system I could hollow it out in levels to allow people's souls to form new bodies within it.
I would expand the levels within the Warmind spatially to allow for more space, and it could be akin to a cultivation 'universe' with different realms/layers, though I woudn't have such powers and nonsense going through it.
'I woudn't need to hunt down the souls of my friends and lovers... I would just need to filter all the souls that come out of ending the horror show of suffering that is this universe. And with that much power and all those souls.
"I would be unbound by this world's suffering," I said with relief at the realization.
Sure... It was mass genocide was on a technicality. But they would get new bodies. And with all that power no one would ever be able to hurt Barghest again.
'Though. If I do, do this... I will end up killing the Emperor of Mankind. So the Sister's certainly won't be happy with me.' I thought helplessly but with a flex of my will, Isha's caged form was sent away deeper into the Warmind as I wasn't sure what to do with her yet.
Regardless, however, I thus got to work as I propelled the Warmind back into the mess that was the Octarius sector with the shadow of the Tyrranid Hive Mind and the Ork's own gods covering my actions as I worked to harvest more planets for biomass and materials.
All the while, around the Warmind, countless drones and ai slaved to my direct will were constructing giant Halo Rings that would swirl around the Warmind.
So that when the day came, and they would fire, the refracted blast from the Halo Rings would hit my Warmind and be bounced in all directions to empty the galaxy of its suffering life. While then pulling the souls of the sentient life forms back into the hive mind like a radar system would bounce back signals at collisions.
