"There is a glaring weakness in this point."
"That is true. However, you also need to think of the overall structure, dear sister. I allow that weakness to occur because, without it, the entire building would be too heavy to be modular. Remember that this is a building that can be upgraded to anything we need. We need to think of what we want for this building before we can cover the weakness."
"I see."
I watch as my new sister throws away the blueprint she created and creates a new blueprint for the building we are constructing. She might have maintained her stoic expression, but I can feel her happiness at creating a new blueprint.
As for her curse, I already took care of it. It turns out her soul mutated while her pod sailed through the Warp, allowing her eyes to see the Eye of Terror no matter where she was.
However, after I connect her soul to mine, the [Artificial Heaven] does its job by healing her soul, and with the help of [Soul Weaver], I can boost the process even more. To make her soul stronger, I grant her my [Eternal Flame] just like I've done to Ana and Kassandra.
With this, her soul should be good, and the parasites will not be able to influence her soul.
My sister even says the glowing eye is gone and that she can no longer see it. At first, she was curious and wanted to know more. However, when I told her about its origin and how it is bad for her, she nodded her head and told me 'Good. That sounds logical', before demanding that I teach her what I know about the technology I have.
Yeah. It turns out, this is the default setting of Perturabo. He and Dorn are the same coin but on opposite sides. They have the same personality, but his father appreciates one, while the others are thrown away.
Big E truly deserves the title of the Worst Father in the Galaxy.
"She is something else, Theo. She can learn all of the technology you give to her and create something new from it. The Kassandra rate of learning is also something that I have never seen before, but this is a different matter."
I look at Ana and nod my head.
"Yes. She has a gift in technology, and I am proud of her."
I can see her stop for a second and perk up at my words before continuing to build something. She doesn't know that I can feel her feelings throughout the connection. She is happy and wants more praise from me.
It is better for her to seek praise from me because I know she will not get any from our father. At least with me acknowledging her effort, she will not become the same bitter person as her canon self.
"So, have you thought of a name for her? You have created one for Kassandra. I think she deserves a name from you as well. You are her brother, after all."
At the mention of a name, she turns her head and looks at Kassandra, who falls asleep on top of my head, and looks at me with hopeful eyes. I smile at her and pick her up. I look reluctant, but I can feel her feeling that she is happy that I also carry her.
She is not as affectionate as Kassandra, but she loves physical touch from family. She wants to keep my attention, but she does not want to sound bratty. She is cute like that, acting all adult-like.
"Do you want a name, sister? Or do you want to create your own name?"
"No. I want you to give me a name."
"Really? Then… Petra. From now on, your name shall be Petra. You are now Petra Caelaris! You shall be the builder of society! Your creations shall last for millennia! You are Petra Caelaris, Builder of Eternitus Empire!"
I smile at her, and she looks at me with wide eyes. After a few seconds, she nods her head with fiery determination.
"What do you think? Do you like it?"
"Yes. I am now Petra Caelaris, and I shall be the builder! I shall be the architect for you, brother. There is nothing I cannot rebuild! There is nothing I cannot construct!"
"Good! However, we need to rescue more of our sisters."
"Sister? Are they in danger?"
"Some of them, yes. Because of this, we need to rescue them."
==| Line Break |==
I frown a little at the barren and massive planet in front of me. My sister has been here for quite some time. Because of the massive amount of Warp influence floating in and outside of the planet, it masks my scrying.
I use the full might of my psychic power and look deeper into the warp. I push away all the false information someone created and search for the truth, deep in the warp. It takes me quite some time before I find the truth.
My sister has been here for three months. We need one month of travel to reach this place from Olympia. The distance between the two planets is so far away that it takes time for me to reach this place, and what I found makes me angry.
What I see is not a small girl. What I see is a woman, nearly 2 meters tall (~6 '5 feet), with short white hair, chained in an underground facility, alongside a man with a tattoo of some kind of script on his face. That bastard yelling at her, telling her that she is worthless without the Gods. He keeps yelling at her, attacking her mentally as she is weak.
There is only one reason why Primarch grows so fast. They are facing harsh conditions. Whatever they are doing to her to make her this big is something that I don't want to see, or I will lose control.
"Brothers?!"
"Brother!"
"Theo!"
I snap from my thoughts and leave the warp. I turn around and see my sisters and Ana looking at me in worry. Ah, right. They have a connection to me. They know when I am angry. I give them a small smile and say.
"I am sorry. I lose my composure. I saw something that made me angry, and I almost lost control."
Kassandra and Petra run toward me, and I pick them up and let them hug my head. I let their presence soothe my soul and calm me. Ana also walks toward me, and I hug her back. We stay like this for a few seconds before I release Ana while letting my sisters sit on my shoulders.
"Thank you. I am better now and making my decisions."
"What is it?"
"I will rescue her and teleport her here before destroying this blasted planet."
"Can I ask why?"
"Chaos. This place is brimming with Chaos influence."
I can feel it. It is masked to a naked or even trained psyker, but I can see it. I can see and feel the shadow behind the planet, blanketing the entire world with its influence. The people in this world are worshippers of chaos.
They might call it the Empyrean and worship the four gods from that realm. What they worship is nothing but the Chaos Gods with flavor text.
"What about the others? Are there innocent people in there?"
I want to tell her there is none, but that is not true. I envelop my power just beneath the shadow that envelops the planet and look deeper. I can see them. I can see souls who do not accept the rule of the Covenant and their distrust of this so-called Four Gods. However, because of the covenant ruling the planet with an iron fist, they hide among the dunes and live their lives in fear of being found.
"There are innocents on that planet. Very well. We will rescue them. Ana, I will leave the rescue mission to you. I will rescue my sister from the dungeon where she was imprisoned."
"Very well. Give me their general direction, and I shall rescue them."
"Good. I will give the information I manage to scry."
I stand up and put my sisters on the ground. Petra looks at me right in the eyes and says.
"Take me with you."
I give her a smile and pat her head.
"I am sorry, Petra. I cannot take you. You have yet to train and learn how to fight. Maybe later. For now, you stay here, learning everything you can, and when you are ready, I will allow you to join me in a fight."
She does not want to accept it for a second, but nods her head after a moment. Her hands clench tightly, and I can already hear her thinking about training and growing stronger so she can join me. I look at Kassandra, and instead of wanting to join me, she says.
"Wear something golden and make it glow bright. Attack from the front instead of sneaking through the corridor."
I look at her for a second and nod my head. I will listen to her advice and prepare to create golden armor. When I am ready, I will punch that bastard Kor Phaeron because I know he is the reason for his suffering.
I will crush his head with my bare hand.
