After speaking with Esdeath for some time, she urged me to begin the process as soon as possible so we could enter the Webway while she returned to training. She was progressing rather steadily, because I could see that she was already nearing the peak of Tier 9.
Esdeath was training very hard because she knew that her current power was nothing special in the Kadath Universe, which already had several Tier 12 beings, a lot of Tier 11s, and tons of Tier 10s.
The people at the Tier 9 were arlaedcy considered to be experts under the standards of the Kadath Universe, but at the same time, they were nothing really special. So she trained a lot to reach as high Tier as possible...
Not to mention, there was a certain kind of unaddressed insecurity that she felt.
Mostly because among my other wives, Venelana, Grayfia, and Hela were already very powerful Tier 12 individuals, Gu Yuena should be in the process of becoming Tier 12, and Bibi Dong was at the peak Tier 11 and not far from reaching Tier 12.
Thus, she was training very hard to reach at least the peak of Tier 11.

Reaching Tier 11 was a relatively simple thing for me right now.
Right now, despite everything, my Avatar didn't awaken its Warp Presence and reached the Tier 10 purely because of the Empyrean Bloodline that was strengthening my physique to a staggering degree while at the same time allowing me to store enormous amounts of the Psychic Energy in my body.
Instead of drawing it directly from the Warp like 99,99% of other Psykers.
With the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer Dreadnought, there was a special room for the rituals and my own needs. This room was inscribed with tons of runes that were working in this Universe as they needed a lot of work for them to be usable within the Immaterius Universe.
Runes were often the language of the Universe.
But not two Universes had the same Runes.
Fortunately enough, with my own calculation capabilities and those of the Architect, in the time span of several months, we managed together translate some Runes to the Laws of the Immaterius Universe.
This was rather fortunate on my own part, because even though this Avatar was absolutely weak compared to my True Body, my comprehension capabilities remained untouched and still very strong.
Thus, I was able to achieve this mission impossible.
I sat down in the specific room within the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer Dreadnought, in the middle of the Runic Circle that was a combination of the various Lores from the Kadath Universe and the Psyker Sorceries.
Everything was meticulously prepared as I activated the Runic Circle. My idea of reaching Tier 11 in this Universe was very specific: I planned to engrave Psychic Tattoos all over my body that would contain a tremendous amount of Psychic Energy and thus forcefully elevate my Avatar to Tier 11.
Of course, this method was full of flaws and wasn't really good for much, but after assimialting the power of my True Body, I would enter sublimation as my Avatar would sublime to an entirely new existence.
So it wasn't really a problem if my Tier 11 power was flawed and unstable, as the assimilation of the things from my True Body would resolve everything. The creation of the Psychic Runes around my body was a simple feat for me, because I already had something pretty similar on my True Body, the Primordial Runes that I have engraved on my True Body.
What was happening right now to me, basically drawing enormous amounts of the Psychic Energy from the Empyrean while at the same time slowly awakening my Psychic Presence in the Warp.
Which was a rather risky thing, but it was needed for better stabilization and connection to the Warp itself. Having your presence awakened within the Warp was a really weird sensation, because in the first place, I wasn't a Warp Being.
But it felt like my consciousness had existed in both the Realspace and the Immaterium. It was really weird because it felt like I had two separate consciousnesses at the same time...
Never really tried this in the Kadath Universe, because I wasn't really into creating clones and Avatar and controlling multiple ones personally. Even when I created some Clones and Avatars, I would let Architect control them because I was pretty uncomfortable controlling them.
Splitting consciousness wasn't for me.
But the progress was relatively smooth, with all the preparations I had done and the protection of the Runic Arrays, as I felt my physique was strengthening at staggering speed and reaching the old feelings of the Tier 11.
My presence in the Warp was also getting stronger as that was a much bigger problem to contain because if my presence within the Warp was attracting attention of the bigger leaguers in the Warp.
I was most beware of the Emperor and the Chaos Gods...
But they were not the only ones.
There were also other Chaos Gods in the game, other Lesser Gods of Warp, and other entities that were hiding in the depths of the Immaterium.
All enemies, potential enemies, or unknown threats.
Nevertheless, as I felt that my presence within the Warp was getting stronger, I activated the secondary Runic Systems that were created to actually hide my presence within the Warp to not attract the attention of the Emperor or the Four Great Chaos Gods.
That was the last thing that I needed.
If it were possible, I would have avoided this step for as long as possible, but it wasn't that possible.
Normally, when someone in the Immaterius Universe wanted to reach Tier 10, they would need to awaken their Warp Presence. I basically skipped this process when I inserted the Psyker Gene into my body and overloaded it with the Psychic Energy of the Immaterium.
But inevitable things were unavoidable.
All of the Runic Tattoos that were on my body started glowing with the colors of the Immaterium and radiating the power of the Warp.
