Soon enough, the glow of divine might dwarfed the sun of Prospero, and as the Wyrmwood Engine emerged from the Lock, it had transformed into a new...thing.

A huge tower bearing the head of a wolf, towering above a platform holding a single being, as large as a Primarch but with a grey wolf head instead of a human one.

'Choose your timing wisely, Ordella. Canis is not himself right now.' I warned my Silent Sister as the giant dissonance engine moved closer, dwarfing the Silent King's mega-ship called the Song of Oblivion .

I wondered for a second what happened to the Grey Knights I deployed on the Wyrmwood, then shrugged. At least it was only 1000 of them, not the other 2000 that were confiscated by the Omnissiah. Most likely they were caught in the merger, adding their souls to the new God.

'Do not attack him, but also don't let it rampage too much, Void Dragon' I whispered in my mind, and the giant C'tan Dragon mentally raised an eyebrow at my order.

"Warmaster...my Iron Warriors." Perturabo spoke in a wary tone, as the golden light of the Divine Wolf engulfed the corrupted Space Marines on Sortiarius, and the remaining Necron troops.

"I am also curious how this new God will perform his Divine Judgement. The glow is quite similar to the Demonifuge." I mused softly, mostly to myself.

"My troops are dead. Beyond resurrection as well." the Silent King noted in a cautious voice.

"Nothing is beyond resurrection, King Szarekh. Iron within and iron without." I commented as my second sight showed me the Iron Warriors becoming transformed and transmuted into metal cyborgs with locked inside their armor, weapons integrated into their bodies, and their skeleton transmuting into iron as well.

'He is eating and purifying the souls of those Chaos Marines, letting only pure essence flow farther into the Warp. It's like a half-way biotransference...' the Void Dragon told me in a surprised voice, but my gaze was locked onto Perturabo, who was at least partially the beneficiary of the purification process. I could feel him grow stronger, as an invisible stream of essence returned to him.

Then things changed rapidly, as the Divine Wolf turned its golden eyes towards me and my escort of C'tan and Necrons. A flash of anger and the wolf was among us, already howling and swiping its glowing claws.

I raised an eyebrow as the angry god slammed into an invisible forcefield right in front of my face. Ordella emerged from the tesseract and spoke a few Words towards the glowing God, then stumbled and spat blood and shattered teeth, and fell down into my arms.

"Enough of these tantrums, Canis! Ordella is hurt because of you." I growled at Divine Wolf, and injected my dear Silent Sister with a medicae syringe filled with blue healing nanites, right in her neck. As I half-expected, Ordella's vocal cords were now destroyed, and won't be usable anymore, but at least her teeth were growing back. She had become a Silent Sister in truth, with this impressive sacrifice.

Canis lost the aggression and appeared beside me, trying to heal my lover with a glowing spell. I just shook my head. What was taken by Enuncia would not heal.

"I'm sorry, Black Alpha! I came out confused and angry, and all these xenos and fallen Astartes only made me angrier. And...I have hands!" Canis realized a bit too late, staring at his fingers with wonder.

"...Brother?" Perturabo asked in a hesitant voice.

"There is little left of Leman Russ now, Perturabo. Like Wepwawet from Lycopolis, he opened the way for the Emperor, but now his hunt has ended. He had killed too many daemons and other things in the Warp to maintain his sanity, not to mention humanity." Canis answered in a kind tone, and stood up to stare the Void Dragon in the face. "As for you, C'tan from Mars. One strand of fur in the wrong place, and I'll gore your guts and eat them. Anubis has spoken."

Then he vanished, with barely a 'later' word left to linger in my mind. Again, on the family channel of the Sounding Board. Must be busy with divine business, I guess.

I stored Sister Ordella with Dessima in the tesseract and turned towards the Silent King. "Nothing like a friendly xenocide to consolidate an alliance, King Szarekh. Cryptek Orikan should have a map of all the relevant worlds we must attack from the Sautekh Dynasty."

'I'll go pack the Old One's drilling tool into your tesseract' the Void Dragon answered to my glance at the glowing Dissonance Engine.

A God did make for a perfect butler, I admit. Inferring my desires from the tiniest clues, even better than the Blade AI could.

While Wyrmwood was only a fragment of planet Caliban, not the entire thing, it was kinda too large for me to move without straining my Breath. Peffy was still ahead of me with his Orrery, but I will grow past him one day.

The two Zath Shards finished merging right on time, and the large wolf nodded at me with a toothy grin. "Did someone mentioned a xenocide?"

I folded my Blackstone golem and stepped on the Dias of Dominion to sit in the throne of the Silent King, with his old scepter in hand. "Sit on my right, Zath. The Silent King can sit at my left. I expect you have learned all the operating manuals while tied to this Dias, right?"

Zath laughed and transformed into another Divine humanoid wolf to sit in the right Triarch throne at my side. "The balls on you, Pef Lancefire! Without that scepter, the Dias throne would have atomized you on the spot, how did you know?"

The Silent King sat in the other throne and tilted his head, curious at my answer. I didn't know, but even if I said so, people will not believe me.

"A Rogue Trader never reveals his secrets! Engage!" I commanded with a pointed finger.

The Necron fleet formed up and flew at a giant speed, at least 1000 times faster than our regular Macharius inertial drives. Damn Necrons were so advanced! But one day, I would learn their tech as well, and make it even better. Still a lot more steps to go, but I was on the right track. All I needed was time.
