3 months since the establishment of Neo Terra

I answer the prayer, send my way, and grant spells to my follower while at the same time doing my administration work. Things have mostly settled down on Neo Terra. Most immediate short-term goals have been met while the grind toward long-term goals has already begun, besides a few hiccups, things have been relatively peaceful.

My faith is starting to gain some steam now and new followers are joining every day. While I haven't done any action to promote it myself the act of granting my follower magic to use did the promotion all by itself. Right now I have about fifty thousand followers, enough to rank up to divine rank 2.

It seems that the amount of followers needed to ascend in divine rank is significantly higher in the forty-first Millennium but well I will manage. While the power I got from worship is significant it is not my only source of strength so I'm not too worried about it.

The education campaign is now also underway expanding and reworking my original idea of a mandatory cultural course into a full-on education campaign. when one arrives we would give them the full 12 years of education from grade school to high school in just a few minutes.

This plus the availability of information provided by the new internet would hopefully raise public education/awareness level and over time lessen the imperial mentality of superstition and hatred.

Some may argue that I am just swapping one form of indoctrination for another. I will admit on some level this is indoctrination but it is only on the level of reading a textbook and watching lectures nothing more intrusive than that.

I was expecting a lot of backlash over this program but when you provide people with good food, water, shelter, stable jobs, health care, and magic they tend to listen to you, who would have thought. There are those who resisted of course but as long as they don't turn violent I am more than happy to leave them alone, while those who attempted to sabotage or plan terror attacks on our new facility were either jail or executed depending on the severity of their crime.

The groundwork for the terraforming process is halfway toward completion half the planet is an untouched irradiated toxic wasteland while the other half is a barren rocky desert. It is a huge improvement if you ask me and at least the air outside is breathable now.

Once we have completed the process of detoxing the planet I will create rivers and seas for the world and introduce fauna and flora to the planet. After that, we will begin the process again on nearby planets and begin expanding outward into a full-fledged empire.

The staffing issues are getting better, positions are being filled out and overall individual workload has decreased, soon I would be able to fully take my hand off of the administrative process and fully return to training and building or maybe I could just create an avatar instead and let it take care of things. There are many options I have yet to explore so I can take my time.

But now onto the more pressing matter, I am going to check on the warp storm and assess its current situation. I want to see how much longer will the storm last and does it pose any threat to Neo Terra and the star system in general.

With a wave of my hand, a portal opens to the location of the storm which lay 100 light-years away from Neo Terra. The storm has caused a rift from the warp to real space and from initial assessment, it looks like it is not fading away any time soon but I will need to head inside to get an accurate measurement.

As I entered the storm I was immediately battered by its raging current of psychic energy, so intense was the flow of psychic energy that it blended the local space-time continuum with its might.

The deeper I go into the storm the more the unpredictable and chaotic nature of the warp shows itself one moment the flow could stop or blow in the opposite direction. The law of physics could work one moment and disappear the next or resume but completely change.

Thankfully I have absorbed multiple warp entities before while I was capturing them for the void spawn and gained their physiology. The current of the warp doesn't bother me much even at this intensity.

As I was making my way to the center of the storm suddenly I felt a presence heading toward me at great speed. My mind's acceleration quickly activates allowing me to see the purplish-pink blade swinging right at my neck.

I quickly raise one hand blocking the swing, stopping it dead in its tracks with one hand, and with an omnidirectional energy burst coming from my body I send my opponent flying back in a wave of holy light.

"Ahhh the pain, I love it."

[mental effect: charm,corruption negated]

The demon said in a moaning voice and as I lay eyes on it I was immediately hit with mental effects which reveal the identity of what it was and who it served.

Serpentine lower half with a humanoid torso with purplish-pink skin-baring 6 arms and wielding 6 curve blades, its facial feature is feminine with sharp pointy ears and 6 horns growing from its head. If that wasn't enough the demon also bears the mark of Slaanesh boosting proudly to all its status as a keeper of secrets.

With its skin still smoking and regenerating from the burn of the blast it speaks out again with a sickly sweet voice.

"How fortunate of me for such a rare delicacy to stumble into my path. My prince would be delighted with you as an offering."

"You are welcome to try"

"Oh, a tough guy is it? all the more fun breaking you down."

Drawing our weapon the demon and I start circling each other looking for an open or mistake to exploit.

I begin formulating a strategy to take my opponent down since Ciel is not with me right now I will have to do it on my own but I can deal with that. I can see that our power is roughly on the same level but the demon does have the home-field advantage and it may receive outside help in the form of other demons or interference from Slaanesh itself.

So let tip the scale and move the battle outside of the warp. I activate parallel processing to handle the spell process and begin moving to attack the demon.

I swing wide purposefully overextending leaving myself open to the demon counter-attack and sure as hell it took the bait with sadistic glee showing on its face but before any of the six-blade reach my body I accelerate time for myself to block the blade swinging I knock all of it arm upward and before it could recover I grab it face with my hand.

[Domain expansion:Abyssal maw]

power of the void emanates from behind me and quickly swallowing us both, bringing me and the demon into the new battlefield where I now reign supreme.
