Chapter 118: The Day of Ascension!
Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Day of Ascension!As Eden hesitated, the last foraging party of the void survivor tribe returned, armed with crude spears.
"Father!"
Tia ran excitedly to hug the robust man leading the group.
The elderly shaman approached him and asked:
"Duke, did you find the fungal clusters?"
Duke shook his head.
"We
Webby had successfully calculated a route through the tunnels!
It was an abandoned and concealed passage, minimizing the chances of detection by the Genestealers.
"Father, I did great, didn't I?"
Webby beamed with pride, seeking praise.
Having spent so much time interacting with Kaul, Moss, and the tech-priests, it was becoming more human-like every day.
"You did amazing! Truly my precious little helper!"
Eden praised it wholeheartedly.
A war council was soon convened, attended by Eden, Bayev, Webby, Carter, Arye, Kaes, Kaul, Doni, and Duke, who represented the void survivors.
The council decided to select 3,000 of the strongest void survivor warriors for the operation.
With extensive discussions and calculations led by Webby, the final battle plan was established.
Eden approved the plan to launch a decapitation strike targeting the Genestealer Patriarch.
The King's Court assembled an elite force of 2,000 Guards and 3,000 void survivor warriors, fully armed by Kaul.
In the tunnels:
"Warriors, move out!"
As the massive iron gates of the tunnel district creaked open, Eden, clad in his modified golden power armor, led over 5,000 troops into the dark passageways under the cover of night.
They would navigate the calculated route to the underhive, striking the heart of the Genestealer lair.
The mission was to execute the Patriarch before the Genestealers could muster their horde.
Failure would mean being surrounded by millions of Genestealers, leaving no escape.
The beacon was already lit.
The Tyranid fleet could arrive at any moment—be it years or mere days.
This desperate gambit to slay the Patriarch was Urth's only chance of survival.
For many, this battle would be a one-way trip.
In the underhive:
The district was a sea of revelry.
The Genestealers and their cultists held grand gatherings, embracing, sharing food and drink, and celebrating without restraint.
The offspring of the Genestealers and their followers indulged in brazen acts in the open.
In one corner of the hive, Gallia and his family joined the festivities.
Gallia had been told he no longer needed to fight on the frontlines and could now enjoy the final moments of salvation.
As people danced in the streets, Gallia and his wife Eve captivated everyone with their graceful movements.
After the dance, Eve held their young son, looking lovingly at Gallia as they cherished their family time.
"How wonderful... If only Eden were here too," Eve thought wistfully.
Under the cult's influence, the Genestealers and their followers firmly believed that the great Emperor would descend from the heavens to redeem the planet.
When that moment came, they would be freed from all suffering, achieving ultimate liberation.
For now, they smiled in blissful anticipation—
Ready to welcome the Day of Ascension.
