The engagents conducted by the Steel Legion proceeded with exceptional difficulty.
Particularly without Lelith's intervention, and with the Hrud and Kroot forces operating without restrictions against deploying planet-killer ordnance and advanced atomic weaponry.
The tactically compromised Hrud and Kroot vessels, protected by void shields, though proximity rendered deploynt sowhat hazardous, nevertheless managed to withstand primary shockwave effects and activated maximum weapons systems.
Excepting Celestine, who could resist through her unshackled Emperor's Light, the remaining Steel Legion personnel, having only recently activated their gene-enhancent protocols, progressively demonstrated tactical disadvantage.
All four engagent zones deteriorated into protracted, attritional conflicts. While monitoring combat operations, Kei redirected attention toward his system interface.

Kei considered [The Strong Don't Die by the Knife] montarily, but ultimately directed the purple Trait Upgrading toward [Planet Devourer], which offered significant power amplification.
The stronger you get, the easier you are to be chopped down.
And he already had no limit on lifespan.
Strategic patience remained advisable.

[Planet Devourer (Purple) into Supernova Devourer (Red)]
[Supernova Devourer (Red):
Can absorb the energy from stellar explosions, cosmic black holes, and any similarly destructive force to power itself, greatly increasing its energy capacity limit. If internal energy is below advanced cosmic level, all energy will be converted into advanced cosmic energy. Absorption and conversion efficiency drastically increased. Trait levels up after absorbing one unit of stellar energy.]
---
Within Kei's physiological structure, the previous capacity limitation of 26 planetary energy units began expanding at exponential rates.
The comprehensive energy within the Primordial Realm similarly expanded rapidly.
As though quantitative accumulation had triggered qualitative transformation. The vital essence within him, previously flowing with galactic patterns, now aggressively consolidated and compressed, manifesting blinding luminescence.
Sequential energy crystallization, comparable to microscopic particulates, initiated formation.
Eventually perating the entire Primordial Realm!
Since previous enhancent, the realm, originally dinsioned to contain Terra, had rely doubled spatially, yet its dinsional integrity and density increased by an order of magnitude.
---
(Dinsional world Primordial Realm upgraded: Energy intensity increased, hyperdinsional AI engine computational speed enhanced. Current core calculation speed: 800 frequency.)
(Dinsional world refinent improved: Slight enhancents to various concepts and special effects; capable of higher-order simulations.)
(Dinsional Source Rules incomplete: Recomnded to acquire Power Stone, Reality Stone, Mind Stone, and Soul Stone for replication and completion.)
---
Has this transitioned from dinsional space to comprehensive universal manifestation?
He contemplated while recognizing the tenfold amplification in internal energy capacity, focusing on the notification.
He possessed neither the Ti Stone nor the Space Stone.
Perhaps his comprehension of temporal and spatial chanics, combined with [Wanderer of Countless Worlds], now enabled rudintary universal operational maintenance?
"I'll try it after I return," he muttered to himself.
He had provisionally entrusted the Ti Stone to Wong before transiting to the Warhamr universe.
That thing had a massive impact on the Marvel Universe.
Who knows what might happen to the native Marvel tiline if he took it away. After all, he only ant to leave for a few days.
But when he got back, ti might be ssed up, and several years may have passed in the Marvel Universe.

Concurrently, the four environntal configurations had been systematically devastated by excessive weapons deploynt while Kei focused on personal enhancent.
Authentic combat experience invariably surpasses simulated engagent for developntal purposes.
Confronting advanced xenotech weaponry, despite power armor mitigating primary damage, Steel Legion personnel sustained critical injuries, approaching mortality thresholds. Their gene-enhancent protocols remained in preliminary activation stages.
Far from optimal functionality.
As temporal progression continued, all four engagent zones demonstrated increasingly desperate tactical situations. The Steel Legion contingent, excluding Celestine, whose genetic restrictions remained incompletely addressed, approached complete tactical defeat!
Confronting terminal engagent paraters, Imperial forces maintain two strategic options: Breakthrough or termination!
At this critical juncture, no Steel Legion personnel selected termination. As they vocalized defiance against tactical failure and advanced toward hostile elents, Kei, having reestablished situational awareness, discreetly employed [Divine Entertainnt Competition] capability to enhance their combat effectiveness by 1%.
Under standard operational paraters, such minimal enhancent would remain imperceptible. Individuals with marginally reduced sensitivity might register no effect.
However, at this critical threshold, even such minimal enhancent proved sufficient to transcend developntal limitations.
Each combatant began physiological transformation.
Within life-extinction engagent paraters, they developed enhanced capabilities.
Galactic Force, Commissar classification... Energy intensity increased by 300%, Fallen Form fully activated, Warp Ability control increased fourfold, Emperor's Wrath control increased fivefold...
Kei examined the analytical data provided by the Labyrinthian Circuit with evident appreciation.
Being close to death was a terrifying thing.
For Steel Legion personnel, this constituted their first authentic engagent, confronting comprehensive tactical operations by Hrud and Kroot forces.
It clearly exceeded their operational paraters. Yet ultimately, through sheer determination, they withstood overwhelming opposition, completely neutralizing the Hrud and Kroot vessels.
Thus, the trial reached conclusion.
When the contingent rematerialized outside Solenfar Outpost, only Celestine maintained vertical posture, everyone else had collapsed to the ground.
Lieutenant Voss exhibited comprehensive injuries, his left upper appendage distorted at 90-degree angle, with compound fracture visibly protruding.
Captain Sicarius resembled thermally processed aquatic organism, his dermal layer carbonized and destroyed by advanced atomic weaponry, exposing subcutaneous muscular tissue.
Though his Fallen Form had initiated cellular regeneration, insufficient bioenergetic reserves rendered recovery processes suboptimal.
Commissar Yarrick had experienced complete follicular destruction, all dermal projections eliminated.
One optical organ remained firmly compressed, vital fluid adhering to orbital margin, as he struggled for respiratory function while expressing disoriented satisfaction toward the celestial canopy.
Tech-priest Datius, Sister Miriya, the Inquisitor, Inquisitor Greyfax, and others displayed comparable injury patterns.
The unrestricted destructive capability demonstrated by Hrud and Kroot forces substantially exceeded their operational limitations in canonical narrative.
Clap clap clap clap—
Kei provided physical acknowledgnt.
The Labyrinthian Circuit activated, synchronizing with Warp and Anti-Warp conceptual fraworks. Within minimal chronological paraters,
All personnel injuries underwent complete rediation.
"Normally, according to my rules, the victor of the trial would receive a reward. But your situation is special, so I bent the rules a little. As for your spoils of war, I've placed them outside the village, you can go gather people to collect them yourselves."
As he concluded communication, the structural remnants of the Hrud and Kroot vessels materialized upon the unoccupied terrestrial expanse beyond Solenfar Outpost.
"Emperor's throne! This... my acquisition? Combat salvage? I..."
Commissar Yarrick established vertical posture, observing the enormous accumulation of xenos vessel components with emotional moisture threatening optical function.
Xenos battlecraft!
Such materials represented incalculable value!
"Your operational space... sustained substantial damage." Celestine maintained awkward positioning.
The Demon God Trial environnt had previously contained nurous architectural structures, now completely obliterated following engagent.
"It'll recover on its own." Kei chuckled and waved casually.
As the damage represented conceptual-level source annihilation, the environnt could rapidly reconstruct. Without fundantal mass alteration, energy expenditure remained negligible.
"Gratitude is expressed." Captain Sicarius maintained horizontal positioning, demonstrating reluctance toward mobility.
His facial structure, now exhibiting initial indications of psychological conditioning, conveyed profound appreciation.
During maximum tactical disadvantage, he had distinctly registered ethereal contact upon his shoulder, granting exceptional combat capability.
Nearby, Commissar Yarrick, Lieutenant Voss, Tech-priest Datius, and others similarly articulated gratitude.
"While my moral paraters may demonstrate imperfection, they maintain positive alignnt. Should operational support be required, communication is welcod!"
"Affirmative assessnt! Honor dictates compliance—our service remains available!"
