Superior Aeldari

(3rd Person POV)

Invoroth Rhyliac entered the chamber. The doors closed and sealed shut. The security in his laboratory and his house were turned on and stopped anyone from entering. LUMINOS started the procedure. From the sides, several injection needles appeared and injected Invoroth with a special purple fluid, he had come up with. This was the first step in the entire procedure. It was meant to release all the shackles he had on his genetic template and allow him to adapt and grow. 

The chamber had to be heated to roughly 150°C to accomplish this, as the proteins responsible had to denture at roughly 60°C and the resistance he had also added to that. But the process was not finished with this. As the 'shackles' were removed and the DNA was stimulated another serum was added and injected into Invoroth. 

This was similar to a great enhancement he had been working on. By calculating the perfect mixture, he was able to overcome the limitations set by the universe and managed to improve all about himself without adding problems. If we were to compare it to fiction, it would be like a Super Saiyan Third Grade compared to Super Saiyan 2. While the Third Grade adds loads of muscle mass and power, the ability to move freely is impaired by the heavy weight of the muscles and whatever speed boost which the power-up could have given is negated, making the Saiyan much slower.

Invoroth managed to get around that and created a boost in all his aspects that would increase his power while also increasing his speed and dexterity equally. Everything he wanted needed to be strictly followed, as one small mistake could result in terrible consequences. The second serum was added to his body and the stimulant started to do its work. 

A lot of the technology Invoroth was using, was powered by psychic energy. Invoroth had created a method in which he could channel energy directly from the Immaterium and use it to power his technology. He was careful with that and first created hundreds of failsafe and cleansing procedures before using the energy. This was to protect his technology from the denizens of the Warp who will surely arrive in the future. 

The amount of energy pumped through the chamber was astronomical. The purest form of psychic energy was used to infuse all of Invoroth's cells and molecules with it. He stimulated his body with this and pushed his mind beyond his limits. His willpower was limitless, so this was possible. Anyone else would have been driven insane by this. 

.

After hours of going through this process, the final step, at least for now, was to be started. The final aspect of the enhancement, Invoroth goes through is the Nanosuit. He took inspiration from the Adeptus Astartes 19th Gene Seed: The Black Carapace (Interface).

Just like the Black Carapace (Interface), the last and possibly most important of all gene-seed implants, the Nanosuit is a neuroreactive, fibrous organic material, Invoroth has created over the millennium. It is implanted directly under the skin in the chest area. Using the AI and his psychic power, invasive fibre bundles that serve as neuron connectors then grow inward from the implant interlink with Invoroth's central nervous system and cover his entire body.

In the Astartes, points pre-cut into the Carapace before its implantation by the Apothecary are effectively neural connection points, allowing an Astartes to directly interface his central nervous system with his suit of power armour's Machine Spirit so that the suit can provide enhanced protection and combat manoeuvrability unavailable to an unaltered Human wearing the same armour.

All that is unnecessary for the Nanosuit of Invoroth. It perfectly fuses with him and becomes part of his biology, making connecting with his future armour seamless. The Nanosuit is not really a suit in the traditional sense. The idea came from a game Invoroth played called Crysis, specifically the Crynet Nanosuit Version 2. But instead of covering himself with it, he made it part of himself and placed it underneath his skin.

Why did Invoroth choose this? 

The first Crynet Nanosuit, while considered practically perfect, still had its flaws. The Nanosuit 2 addressed the weaknesses of the earlier model, while also supporting a myriad of new features and hardware. First, the original suit's energy efficiency required significant improvement, and the new gold-cobalt oxide lattice boosts the N2's fuel cell capacity by 20%, allowing the operator to remain cloaked for extended durations. As well as withstand more damage, while also giving the suit an additional 32% in strength and speed, allowing for increased physical performance at the cost of less energy consumption than the N1. Also, thanks to the N2's improved CryFibril electromechanical coupling that exceeds 70% under most battlefield conditions, the suit can generate up to 450N of force and up to 10,000G of contractile acceleration for each cm3 of said CryFibril. This allows feats which require massive power to be performed with little to no effort at all, such as pushing a fully loaded fuel wagon which has stood on top of rusted rails for years. Prophet was also able to break a wooden door into splinters and send it flying after kicking it with little to no effort. This implies that with further experience, the N2's maximum strength can become limitless. 

That was what interested Invoroth. The potential the Crynet Nanosuit 2 possessed. And with his beyond-genius level intellect and all the resources he has, he replicated it but left it open for future upgrades. And he already knew how he was going to do that. 

Secondly, the suit can absorb energy in a myriad of forms including, but not limited to radiation, static, kinetic, and even carbon released by rotting corpses, and with this power, the suit can become even stronger. The N2 also weighs half that of the N1, thus increasing the speed and agility of the wearer even further. The Ionic Electroactive Polymer (EAP) Liquid Armor (a fast-twitch reflex co-polymer incorporating colloidal doped ceramics and a copper nanolattice in an ethylene-glycol buckyball matrix) gives the wearer unparalleled protection against radiation and physical impact. It also drastically increases motor reflexes (giving users on average a 0.08 millisecond reaction time), and features a dynamic Faraday anti-EMP mesh. 

This part is drastically increased for Invoroth. As an Aeldari, his reaction speed is already the highest in the entire galaxy, but now with the suit, his reaction was bordering on what the Necrons could do in the future. 

The N1 was only capable of a visual camera feed and the memory of the wearer itself. To solve this, the N2 uses its own Semiautonomous Enhanced Combat Ops: Neuro-integration Delivery AI (SECOND) which is powered by a parasitic blood-glucose infusion and an electrolytic micro stack. The non-sentient chip runs at 1.5 BIPS and instantly integrates remote telemetry and first-person input from up to 6,000 distinct channels (ranging from full spectrum EM to acoustic, barometric, and pheromonal) presenting clear, concise tactical summaries via an interface integrated directly in the visual cortex. It can also take over the operator's purely autonomic and regulatory functions in the event of somatic damage.

Invoroth did this differently. He inserted his AI LUMINOS into his suit directly. He wasn't worried about LUMINOS betraying him, as the AI was an extension of himself. LUMINOS could only exist, as long as Invoroth exists as they are one and the same. No matter what, Invoroth doesn't trust something that could be corrupted in the future, so he went ahead and made sure that wasn't possible. On the off chance that Invoroth is injured and can't fight anymore, LUMINOS can take over and get him to safety, but this is very unlikely to ever happen. 

One of the N2's most innovative features, however, is its ability to not only monitor the physical and neurological state of the soldier but to actually optimize them. Using his AI LUMINOS, it continuously regulates Invoroth's hormone levels and other factors and anticipates and counteracts debilitating stress and fatigue reactions.

The suit also actively augments and maintains Invoroth's other hormone levels. Unlike the Crynet Nanosuit, Invoroth's version does not result in long-term damage to metabolic systems, through prolonged exposure to antagonistic neuroinhibitory mechanisms. This is because Invoroth is keeping a close connection to his health through the suit and that is powered by his psychic power passively. 

Like the Nanosuit 2, Invoroth's Nanosuit is also capable of repairing itself and Invoroth from serious damage in a matter of a few hours the latest. It can do this faster, depending on how much energy Invoroth either invests himself or channels from the Immaterium.

The suit also improves and continually evolves upon data collection technology, receiving both physical and internal damage AND upon being fed more and more psychic energy.

The suit is also capable of seeping into any wound and fixing it at an incredibly drastic rate, as seen in the case of Alcatraz, whose damaged lungs were fixed; albeit at the cost of his larynx and the suit permanently bonding into his body and that imminent death would occur due to the fact that his lungs became dependent on the suit's repairing system forever.

Invoroth's Nanosuit is capable of being a life support system and permanently immunizing its wearers from all toxins, venoms, and diseases of all forms, known and unknown, biological or human-made. This also implies that the suit has a regenerative healing factor unparalleled by any other type of healing factor, meaning even the Hayflick limit is bypassed because the telomeres are prevented from shortening, allowing a cell to divide indefinitely. Combined with the enhancements Invoroth did to his body, just now the suit also renders ageing impossible, as it can store the entire personality and body of Invoroth and he has given himself a healing factor on the level of Deadpool, making him impossible to kill normally or die of old age.

(Invoroth Rhyliac POV)

After a full day of undergoing the procedure, the chamber finally opens again. 

*TSCHHHH*

I take my first step and almost stumble. It took all of my focus for the entire day to get to this point and I can feel ... everything. 

I can feel the change in my breathing, the way my lungs pump the air and filter it, how my blood flows faster than before, the way my cells are full of energy and how my mind works even faster than before. All the information about my body is sent directly to my brain and I feel that I have surpassed my previous state. I have transcended peak Aeldari in every way and have become the Supreme Aeldari. 

Thanks to my Essence, the Sound Mind and Soul, there are no negative effects whatsoever. I can tell that my psychic potential has shot through the roof and it was already seemingly boundless before, but now ... it is something else entirely. I can tell that so many things and abilities are open for me to use. 

[How are you feeling, Lord Invoroth?]

LUMINOS asks me. 

'Perfect right now. I can tell, that I have become a lot stronger. What are the exact values?'

[Your physical capabilities have risen to roughly 305% compared to before. This includes your strength, speed, dexterity, regeneration and overall health. 

Your mental aspects have increased to incalculable degrees. The reason for this is due to the very nature you have acquired. Your reaction speed, calculation speed, and psychic potential are limitless in theory and only need you to either grow older or train. 

The integration with the Nanosuit has gone without a problem and is now a true part of your body. I await your orders.]

'Observe how my body reacts to the use of the Immaterium. I want to see what happens if I push myself.'

[Affirmative]

I get into a meditative position and dive deep into my connection to the Immaterium. I can tell that it has already started to change somewhat and the war that will surely follow, will cause untold chaos. But my connection to the Immaterium itself has become a lot stronger. I feel like Darth Vader when he entered the Dark Side of the Force that one time and wasn't hindered by his physical body. 

The potential in this is clear. I might become something more than just a mortal, even if I no longer am mortal in the traditional sense. This war might have something good about it still. 

I start to focus on the Divination Discipline. I start to look into the future. 

The path of the present starts to branch out into various possibilities. More and more things are possible and each decision of each individual has an effect on the future, causing more branches to appear. 1, 2, 4, 8, 18, 49, 193, 1399, 122938, 29992835 ... more and more branches appear in my field of vision and I look at them all at the same time. More and more appear, calculating for all possible decisions made by increasingly more individuals. 

I can feel the stain on my mind, but it doesn't matter. I push more and more and allow myself to feel the difficulty of the task at hand. I see the Necrontyr and their Succession Wars. I see their first meeting with the Star Gods AKA the C'tan. The terrible decision of biotransference and the terrible fate of their race and the galaxy. 

I see the second part of the War in Heaven and how we Aeldari are finally also involved. At first, the happiness of our race, to battle another race and prove our superiority but then the bitter and harsh reality of the danger involved. I see the deaths of millions, billions, trillions ... all for the selfishness and foolishness of the few. I see myself, fighting for our kind and my decisions. I see the skill and prowess I wield during countless battles. 

And I see the outcome of this terribly long war that accumulates more and more wounds to the Immaterium, spawning terrible denizens and dooming a lot of the galaxy. 

---

"Haaa ... haaa ..."

[Impressive results, my Lord. Your mental signature was at 238%, more than should be possible. You have grown stronger mentally through this strenuous exercise and have seemingly adapted to it slightly.]

"Good. I will need that for what is to come. This is not the C'tan's or the Necrons' galaxy and neither does it belong to Chaos. I will make sure of it."
