If classified according to the Imperium's standards for Psykers, Christine could easily have been placed at the Alpha-level Psyker tier. When the Black King's blessing descended upon her, she had even come infinitely close to Alpha+.
To the Emperor or the Black King, a Living Saint was not merely an extension of will, but also a vessel for power.
That was precisely why her death had such tremendous consequences, enough to unleash an extraordinarily rare Warp storm of colossal scale.
The Black King behind Christine was especially enraged by the failure of his Living Saint. He fanned the flames from the shadows, further amplifying the Warp storm's effects.
"The Warp storm is here. Have every warship enter Dimarmar orbit and take shelter."
"Including the Terra Ecclesiarchy's warships. As long as they are willing to stop fighting, we will stop attacking as well and let them come over."
Qile immediately gave the order. She could feel an immense danger approaching.
Although Warp storms primarily affected the Sea of Souls, that did not mean they could not affect the material universe.
When the tides of the Sea of Souls became too violent, the veil separating the two worlds would also be struck, producing strange phenomena in reality that defied explanation.
The entire Dimarmar system seemed to have been placed at the center of a giant vortex. The star at the heart of the system was affected by the psychic tides and began displaying signs of violent unrest.
Solar activity reached its peak within mere minutes. Enormous sunspots spread across the star's surface like cancer, and the light it emitted gradually dimmed.
Warp energy tore open the veil without pattern or order, then poured out from The Empyrean.
Wisps of pinkish-purple energy spread like clouds and mist, painting an ethereal aurora beyond description.
