Chapter 81: The Perfect Revenge!

"Quick, keep attacking!"

Seeing the Chaos embryo inside the massive incubation tank becoming increasingly active, Eden, along with the Imperial Guards, intensified their assault!

The entire incubation area echoed with the thunderous roars of bolt rifles and anti-armor grenades.

Behind them, the Imperial Guards in charge of the assault had already assembled the Heavy Siege Rocket Launcher.

The Imperial Guards dragged the Heavy Siege Rocket Launcher forward, with its four mechanical stabilizers securely anchored to the ground.

Then, they loaded armor-piercing rockets and adjusted the barrel to aim at the giant glass incubation tank.

The Imperial fiercely pulled the trigger mechanism.

Boom—

The ground trembled violently, and dust rose into the air.

The armor-piercing rocket smashed into the giant glass tank, and with the help of its dual-explosion propulsion system, the adamantium-ceramite composite warhead embedded itself deep into the specialized glass.

Crack!

Large cracks spread across the surface of the specially-made glass.

It worked!

Eden was excited:

"Aim for the breach and keep firing!"

No matter how sturdy the material, continuous high-intensity attacks will eventually break it.

One more shot, and they could destroy this specialized glass.

Then, they could deploy thermite bombs in large quantities, sending that grotesque Chaos embryo straight to hell!

The Imperial Guards quickly loaded another armor-piercing rocket.

But just as the Imperial pulled the trigger, Eden's instincts flared with a sense of danger.

"Defend!"

But it was too late.

A heavy steel platform came crashing down with tremendous force, smashing the Heavy Siege Rocket Launcher and sending both the launcher and the guard nearby flying.

The impact carved a long trench into the ground.

The newly fired armor-piercing rocket veered off and exploded against the ceiling.

A large hole was blown into the ceiling, sending burning cables and fragments of metal cascading down like a rain of fire.

"Ah, so this is the feeling of power?

Such a marvelous sensation. Let us give thanks to the many-eyed god for this blessing!"

Yusef spread his arms in ecstasy, emerging from the fiery rain with his enormous body, standing in front of the giant glass incubation tank.

Now standing nearly three meters tall, his muscles bulged and writhed, with an additional pair of eyes on his forehead, shoulders, and palms, making him look especially grotesque.

Behind him, about a dozen more cyborg guards appeared, their appearances resembling Yusef.

Yusef was brimming with pride. He pointed at Eden and sneered:

"Pitiful weakling, are you ready to die?"

Eden sneered back:

"Have you ever heard the saying, 'Villains die from talking too much'?"

Yusef, unperturbed, responded like a theater actor:

"Villain?

I am the King of Urth, and you, in my eyes, are nothing more than a pathetic clown desperately struggling...

You're terrified, aren't you?

Terrified of the true offspring of the many-eyed god descending upon this world.

You're like a clown, bouncing around before me, trying to stop it.

But sadly, you can't stop it anymore...

You've failed!"

"Destroy the target!" Eden had no time for more nonsense and gave the order, drawing his sword and charging toward the giant glass tank with the guards.

"Stop them!" Yusef gave his command as well.

The cyborg guards intercepted the charging guards, engaging them in battle.

Even with chainswords buzzing in their hands, the cyborg guards, corrupted by Chaos energy, were not easily killed. The sounds of chainsword roaring and heavy blows echoed throughout the area.

Yusef's target was Eden. He slowly advanced:

"Feel the fear. I will personally crush you, worthless being, and thus end the shame of the Hoffman family that has lasted for three thousand years.

This will be the perfect revenge on the Grant family!"

"What? You treacherous fool dare talk of revenge against your master?"

Eden was confused, having many gaps in his memory due to his soul's transmigration. He knew little of the Hoffman family's history.

From what Bayev had told him, the Hoffman family was the vassal family of the Grants.

On the planet Urth, their status was second only to the Grant family.

And this status was granted to them by the Grants.

The Grant family gave them power, protection, and allowed them to enjoy three thousand years of wealth and privilege on Urth.

But they shamelessly betrayed the Grants during their time of weakness.

They amassed private forces and seized large portions of the Upper Hive's territory.

Worse yet, they treacherously opened the gates and lift shafts, letting the heretical rebels into the Upper Hive, causing catastrophic damage!

"What?" Yusef was momentarily stunned. It was clear Eden knew nothing of the Hoffman family's history.

How could this be?

The true history of the family was a mandatory subject for every heir, as understanding it helped them better control themselves and their related families.

If this worthless man didn't know these things, wouldn't the revenge be... incomplete?

The more Yusef thought about it, the more unsettled he became. He couldn't help but explain:

"Absurd! The Hoffman family was not a vassal!

The Grant family and the Hoffman family have a deep-seated blood feud. Three thousand years ago, your Grant family shamelessly took away—"

"Do I look like I care?"

Eden interrupted. To him, such ancient disputes were none of his concern as someone who had transmigrated from another world.

And in an argument, the worst thing you can do is follow your opponent's pace, especially when their mind is clearly troubled.

"You're the one who slaughtered your own family. By all accounts, you should be the Hoffmans' biggest enemy. Why don't you avenge them?"

"You!"

Yusef was momentarily speechless. Eden's logic was sound, and he had no way to refute it.

Eden, now mocking, went full force:

"What? My suggestion is that you take your own life as an apology."

"Y-You... you're asking for death! All Grant family members deserve to die!"

Yusef's long-held belief began to collapse. He was enraged, his words disjointed.

His muscles suddenly bulged, and he charged forward.

Yusef, now immensely powerful, sent two Custodians flying as they tried to intercept him and rushed straight at Eden.

He intended to brutally kill this sharp-tongued foe!

"Protect the Governor!"

Carter raised his chainsword to block Yusef's charge.

Yusef's fist slammed into Carter's chainsword, turning his hand into a bloody mess from the whirling teeth.

But he didn't care. Tendrils of flesh quickly sprouted from his mangled hand, binding Carter and his chainsword tightly.

Carter immediately activated the sword's force field.

But before it could fully ignite, he and the chainsword were lifted into the air, taking several brutal blows to the chest, spraying blood.

Then, both Carter and his chainsword were hurled into a nearby control console.

This all happened within seconds. In the next moment, Yusef was standing right before Eden.

Yusef looked down at him, the eight eyes on his body rapidly shifting, finally locking onto Eden with a cold, snake-like gaze.

The overwhelming pressure made Eden's hair stand on end.

"Now, no one can save you..."

Yusef's muscles bulged, then contracted, as he raised both arms high, gathering all his strength to crush Eden:

"Die!"

Boom—

After the strike, Yusef's pupils contracted to slits:

"Impossible?"

Eden had raised his forearm and blocked the blow, the sheer force cracking the ground beneath his feet.

Yet he stood firm, his breathing steady.

"Is it possible, and I mean possible, that I am the strongest being here?"

As his words fell, golden light gleamed from his eyes. Brilliant golden armor crackled with fine lightning bolts, as if a god had descended!
