Who is the true Imperium? [Raw: 官场职场 > 战锤:从行星总督开始]
Under Eden's imposing presence, Yusef instinctively took a step back.
Quickly realizing this, he felt a deep sense of shame. "You must die here, you worthless wretch!"
Yusef drew on more power, his numerous eyes began to bulge with blood vessels, and more fleshy tendrils sprouted from his body.
The tendrils, as agile as octopus tentacles, whipped towards Eden, coiling tightly around him.
One of the largest tendrils grew an extremely sharp, coldly gleaming stinger.
Like a venomous snake, the stinger raised high before striking fiercely at Eden's head.
This was the result of Yusef's merging of multiple biological traits, using the power of the great Many-Eyed God to craft his formidable body.
The stinger, made of a refined adamantium alloy, contained a sac of lethal poison, perfect for a surprise attack.
If Eden allowed that stinger to hit him, even if he didn't die, he would be gravely injured, Yusef thought smugly.
Soon, Eden would be writhing in agony before him, regretting his decision to oppose him, and then perish in despair.
But his hope was crushed.
The stinger halted mere centimeters from Eden's eye, unable to move further.
"What?"
Yusef roared in fury, realizing that his stinger was being restrained by a force.
It was psychic power!
How could this worthless man be such a powerful psyker?
Before Yusef could react, a numbing sensation spread through his arms.
Golden electric currents flowed around Eden's body, growing stronger, burning the tendrils wrapped around him.
The tendrils' cellular structure was quickly destroyed by the psychic energy, turning charred and brittle.
Cooked, with a faint scent of burning flesh in the air.
With a simple flex, Eden broke free, the tendrils snapping and falling to the ground.
"Damn it!"
Yusef tried to flee, but it was too late.
A sharp pain pierced his abdomen. Looking down, he saw a familiar stinger embedded in his stomach.
"My dear, you didn't happen to develop an antidote, did you?"
Eden stood in front of Yusef, casually asking.
"Get away!" Yusef panicked and threw a powerful punch at Eden.
But Eden didn't move, simply tilting his head slightly to dodge.
"Scared?
Do you feel like a clown now?"
Eden's face was cold as he clenched his fist and slammed it into Yusef's face.
"This one's for being a damn idiot!"
Yusef's face twisted and deformed from the punch, spitting out half of his teeth as he stumbled back in disgrace.
"You dare…"
Bang!
Another hit crushed Yusef's nose, blood pouring out.
"This one's for all the innocent lives you've ruined!"
Yusef suffered a relentless barrage of punches.
"For the revenge of the Hoffman family!"
"For the God-Emperor!"
"For world peace!"
There are far too many tyrants in the world who act with impunity, disregarding lives.
To achieve their goals, they use the lower-class people as pawns, inflicting suffering on the innocent.
And rarely is there anyone who can bring them to justice.
These kinds of men are often lured by the dark gods, turning into maniacs who would stop at nothing.
In the end, they bring massive destruction, sometimes even the fall of entire planetary civilizations.
For scum like this, they need to be taught the meaning of pain!
Eden unleashed all the fury he had built up over these days on Yusef.
The psychic-powered punches not only broke his bones but also hindered his regeneration, amplifying his agony!
Yusef kept stumbling backward, his upper body reduced to fragments of shattered bones, howling in pain.
"Go to hell!"
Eden gathered his strength and delivered a crushing blow to Yusef's abdomen, sending him flying into the giant glass incubation tank before crashing to the ground.
Yusef's twisted body lay there, vomiting black blood.
He struggled to get up, but his shattered bones left him limp, unable to find any strength to stand.
With Yusef down, Eden quickly turned his focus to the giant glass incubation tank.
He could feel the Chaos embryo growing more and more active.
The dark eyes on the embryo began twitching rapidly, and eerie whispers echoed from around it.
That cursed thing was about to be born!
Panic surged through Eden as he rushed forward, hammering the specially-made glass with all his strength.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Strike after strike, the heavy blows made the tank tremble violently.
But it still had no effect.
Yusef's raspy voice echoed, a triumphant sneer on his face:
"Fool, you've missed your best chance. Now, nothing can stop the offspring of the Many-Eyed God from being born..."
That was his true goal.
Even if it cost him everything, he would ensure that great being was born.
Yusef stared at the Chaos embryo with fervor in his eyes, even a trace of affection hidden deep within.
For it was the blessing of the Many-Eyed God, his greatest creation, his child...
And it would carry on his will, fanning the flames of revenge.
Until everything the Grant family held dear was destroyed!
Yusef, watching Eden frantically hammer at the glass, was filled with glee, taunting him endlessly:
"Struggle like the clown you are. But everything you do is in vain.
You and everything you hold dear, including those pathetic commoners you care for, will die in extreme suffering...
And all of it will be because of your incompetence!"
"Damn it!"
Eden's mind was entirely focused on the glass in front of him.
He gathered all his strength and slammed his shoulder into it, but it still didn't budge.
Quickly changing tactics, Eden used his psychic energy to wrap lightning around the heavy steel platform, swinging it around like a hammer throw and hurling it at the glass!
Boom!
The steel platform smashed into the glass, further deepening the cracks.
It was working!
Excited, Eden again wrapped the steel platform in lightning and swung it even harder.
One more hit and the glass would shatter!
Yusef, panicking, roared with bloodshot eyes: "You bastard… stop!"
But there was nothing he could do to stop it.
Eden swung the platform at full force and hurled it toward the tank.
Just as the platform flew through the air, the black eyes on the Chaos embryo stopped twitching. Every eye focused on Eden!
In an instant, Eden felt countless evil gazes fix on him, as if he had fallen into a pit of snakes, cold, slithering bodies crawling all over him.
It was too late!
The massive glass incubation tank exploded, the shockwave sending the steel platform flying.
Both Eden and Yusef were thrown back, skidding across the ground.
Yusef struggled to look toward the tank, his expression like that of a father witnessing the birth of his child:
"The blessing of the great Many-Eyed God, my child, you... have finally descended!"
