Changes

Hasophet received a [[Tzeentch]]-ordained vision that showed him his destiny. The vision revealed that sometime in the future, he would attain [[Daemonhood]] after devouring the thoughts and memories of an entire world. He was shown how to reach this goal, whereupon he led the Mind-Eaters on the first of nine hundred ninety-nine rites that would take Hasophet to this portended moment.{{Fn|1a}}. Among the rites Hasophet conducted over the next several millennia were turning the [[Night Lords]] [[Sorcerer]] [[Chaos Lord|Warlord]] [[Vasellisk]]'s body into the [[Shrouded Crystal]]{{Fn|1b}} and killing the Thousand Sons [[Exalted Sorcerer]] [[Korthuphos]] in order to claim his two hearts.{{Fn|1c}}. Sometime after the [[Great Rift]] was created, Hasophet finally neared his goal, and he needed only to complete the last rite on the [[Imperium]] [[Hive World]] [[Mangel III]]. When he and the Mind-Eaters arrived on the Hive World, they discovered it was being invaded by the [[T'au]], but this did not dissuade Hasophet from beginning his final rite.{{Fn|1d}} He shattered the Shrouded Crystal in orbit above Mangel III to create perpetual night on the planet, and while the T'au and [[Imperial]] forces, cut off from orbital reinforcements and relays, fought desperately in the impenetrable darkness, Hasophet and his [[Mind-Eaters]] created from all the artefacts and fetishes he collected during his 998 previous rites a great crescent pyre in the '''Valley of Sacrifices'''. Then Hasophet used the two hearts of Korthuphos to ignite this pyre with their blood while chanting praises to [[Tzeentch]].{{Fn|1d}}

HoweverSometime after the [[Great Rift]] was created, Hasophet finally neared his goal, instead of devouring and he needed only to complete the thoughts of last rite on the battling [[Imperium]]'s [[Hive World]] of [[Mangel III]]. When he and the Mind-Eaters arrived on the Hive World, they discovered it was being invaded by the [[T'au]], but this did not dissuade Hasophet from beginning his final rite.{{Fn|1d}} He shattered the Shrouded Crystal in orbit above Mangel III to create perpetual night on the planet, and while the T's au and [[Imperial]] forces, cut off from orbital reinforcements and relays, fought desperately in the impenetrable darkness, Hasophet and his [[Mind-Eaters]] created from all the artefacts and fetishes he collected during his 998 previous rites a great crescent pyre in the '''Valley of Sacrifices'''. Then Hasophet used the two hearts of Korthuphos to ignite this pyre with their blood while chanting praises to [[Tzeentch]].{{Fn|1d}} However, instead of devouring the thoughts of the battling Imperial and T'au minds, like his vision had shown, Hasophet began absorbing their entire bodies. Even enormous war engines were absorbed by a screaming Hasophet, who then began to grow and change shape. Suddenly Hasophet's howls of pain become roars, as his body mutated into a [[Mutalith Vortex Beast]] instead of the [[Daemon Prince]] his vision had led him to believe he would become. Despite this change, numerous bodies and machines continued to be absorbed by Hasophet and the great [[Warp]] vortex now emanating from his back, which extended outward with each newly consumed sacrifice. The vortex soon encircled the entire [[Hive World]], and with a final mind-tearing scream, [[Mangel III]] was torn from [[realspace]]. In its place, there was left only a perpetual dark shroud and an echo of Hasophet's final, pitiful cry.{{Fn|1d}}
