Using [Wanderer of Countless Worlds], he shifted his vision to another dimensional layer. From there, leveraging his powerful perception, he scanned Terra below with this new dimensional sight.
Those with similar auras to the Eldar, but slightly weaker, were probably her fellow Aspect Warriors and Ynnari followers who arrived on Terra with her. Terra really had quite a number of unique lifeforms...
"Can't we talk here? I think this place is just fine."
The Eldar's gaze was locked onto Kei. Although she didn't know what exactly was on her that could attract this being, that dangerous aura wrapping around him clearly told her that, even if he wasn't looking at her now, she was already locked on.
Run?
That ability which tore open some sort of barrier and made him appear beside her, it was clearly a level higher than webway portals.
How could she possibly escape?
"Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" Kei retracted his gaze from Terra. According to the system's description, the Eldar's Webway Technology and Chaos Sorcery were both quite suitable for him.
The psychic light in the Eldar's eyes gradually faded. After a brief hesitation, she put away her heavily damaged weapon, returning it to the subspace.
"No need to be so guarded. I mean no harm, and under normal circumstances, I don't hit people," Kei shrugged, his gaze brushing over the Eldar's wraithbone armor. He snapped his fingers, and from the Primordial Realm pulled out two crafted chairs.
Using Kamar-Taj's magic, he anchored them behind himself and the Eldar.
"So you only hit them in abnormal situations?" The Eldar raised an eyebrow. These chairs... Clearly not a natural creation, the density was extremely high, and they were infused with deep warp energy.
Many thoughts flashed through her mind.
She still maintained her composed demeanor. After sitting down gracefully, she crossed her legs elegantly.
Since he showed no hostility, and even wanted to sit down and talk, then, for the Eldar tormented by She Who Thirsts, a warp-being who had mastered immaterium energy was now of inestimable value.
Kei raised his eyebrows slightly.
He had to admit, she was extremely skilled at steering a conversation. Her words might have seemed casual and off-topic, but in truth, she was subtly analyzing his stance and his view on justice and order.
"You remind me of those fallen Eldar who fled to the Eye of Terror."
"Don't joke, those Drukhari are just a bunch of trash."
"...Back to the main topic then, the abilities you used just now, are they from the warp?"
It seemed the Eldar had gotten the answer she wanted. A slight smile curled on her lips, and her posture visibly relaxed.
"I'll try to explain it in a way you can understand, it might not be entirely accurate. My ability doesn't come from somewhere, per se. It's something that exists in every world by default. You could say it's a kind of... hmm, energy that transcends visible dimensions. It allows for connection, observation, interference, and rewriting of reality on another plane." As Kei spoke, he glanced at her personal attribute panel.
When his eyes landed on the final few traits, his expression turned slightly... strange.

[Name: Jain Zar]
[Career: Phoenix Lord]
[Active Traits:
{Gold: Webway Technology, Howling Banshee Mistress}

{White: Storm of Silence, Unfailing Duty}]

As one of the first Phoenix Lords, Jain Zar's strength was currently among the top ranks of all Eldar.
Although her [Webway Technology] hadn't been fully activated yet, her [Phoenix Lord Embodiment], [Avatar of Khaine's Wrath], [Warp Plane Manipulation], and [Webway Portal Control] all provided powerful enhancements.
A resilient and nearly immortal body, terrifying combat prowess, insight to analyze enemy weaknesses, precise control over warp energy, and seamless webway travel - all this combined with her position as the Storm of Silence, founder of the Howling Banshees, granted her access to knowledge and weapons from across the Craftworlds.
She could leverage stronger analytical and combat abilities. Unless she encountered one of the named Chaos Gods themselves, she could face almost any foe in this cosmos.
But... those attribute traits near the end—
"You're reading my essence."
Jain Zar, seeing the strange look in Kei's eyes, instinctively tensed up. "Fair's fair, you just finished reading me, didn't you? What did you see?"
"A warrior who's existed for over ten millennia, constantly reborn through the souls of your successors, maintaining the ancient traditions of your shrine while carrying the burden of your endless battle? And yet beneath it all, still the fierce warrior Faraethil who first took up arms with Asurmen?"
Kei grinned as he casually summarized some of what he'd glimpsed on her attribute panel.
Jain Zar's expression shifted dramatically.
It felt just like when Asurmen would see right through her thoughts with a glance.
The immense gap in computational power and warp energy manipulation left her with no secrets in front of him.
"You should be able to understand my explanation just now, right?" Kei glossed over the more personal details.
"Yvraine would like to speak with you." Jain Zar took a deep breath, trying her best to maintain composure.
She rose from the chair, then focused her psychic energy, establishing a connection through the immaterium.
Warp energy quickly gathered in front of them, and the elegant, commanding figure of Yvraine, seated on her crystalline throne, materialized before Kei like a 3D projection.
