Chapter 12: Investigation
Chapter 12: Chapter 12: InvestigationThe treasure was right in front of him. If the Chaos Daemons took over, how heartbreaking would that be!
Eden felt a pang in his heart as he activated his psychic senses to scan the entire space hulk.
This was his advantage: controlling the miniature sun, he possessed god-like power.
He was lucky that this space hulk had not been occupied by some terrible entity.
Within the space hulk, there were only some Chaos creatures, scattered Void remnants, and a small group of relatively threatening Chaos pirates.
Fortunately, this space hulk was enormous, almost half the size of the moon.
If he were cautious, he could avoid them for a lifetime.
This meant that Eden could explore the treasure without taking too much risk!
Eden carefully controlled his psychic sense, exploring the space hulk bit by bit,
A strong sense of danger surged within Eden—he had only one thought: run!
He quickly withdrew his psychic presence, moving through layers of metal wreckage, distancing himself from the ship section.
The red-haired pirate didn't find anyone and reclined back into her throne, resting her chin on her hand, looking bored. "Sigh, I thought something interesting was going to happen..."
Her name was Kaelinna, one of the Empire's most wanted criminals, charged with desecrating the God-Emperor and betraying the Imperium.
Tch, Kaelinna was still indignant.
All she had done was kill a few of the Empire's dogs on Holy Terra. Did that really warrant the High Lords ordering her death?
They even sent squads of Space Marines and several Inquisitors!
Luckily, she had escaped in time; otherwise, she'd be dead by now.
To avoid the hunt, she had been hiding in this cursed place for a long time.
How long?
Sorry, in the Warp, there was no concept of time or space—only endless Chaos.
"I wish a handsome man would just drop from the sky for me to play with..."
Kaelinna sighed, her ample chest heaving.
She glanced at the ugly Chaos pirates still brawling, growing even more agitated.
Boom!
A shockwave exploded among the crowd, scattering the Chaos pirates in all directions.
"Shut up! Get lost!" Kaelinna shouted in anger, unleashing a powerful psychic force.
The Chaos pirates scrambled to their feet, bowing in submission to their queen.
At this moment, Eden's psychic presence was still fleeing.
That fiery woman was dangerous; he needed to get far away, as far as possible.
After all, a Gamma-level psyker could not be judged by common sense—she might be able to inflict fatal damage even to his psychic state.
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
What was that sound?
Eden realized he had entered a strange place.
In front of him stretched an endless field of green rice, swaying gently in the breeze like emerald waves.
Between the rows of rice were small streams, with clear water flowing, and little fish swimming to and fro.
For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to the fields of his homeland, and the tension in his heart began to ease.
But Eden's daydream was quickly shattered, for he saw a robot in the field, a riveted metal robot.
It hummed a little tune, carrying a rusty water tank, laboriously spraying pesticide over the rice.
The metal robot suddenly sensed something, turning to face the gate with barely-contained excitement in its electronic voice.
"Welcome to Green Wave Farm, my master!"
