We are ready to ignite the Machine Spirit at any time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good job,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden praised Kaul, looking approvingly at the nearly 30-meter-tall skull-shaped machine structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All the resources I've given you have been well spent. Now, let's go and light up the Machine Spirit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he took a step toward the machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Kaul stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not that way, my lord. The Machine Spirit core is over here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden had a bad feeling about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Kaul, they arrived at a smaller mechanical structure nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, he saw a five-meter-wide mechanical sphere, connected to a web of cables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of these cables linked to a large mechanical conduit stretching into the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul spread his arms, proudly introducing the contraption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Machine Spirit core, the culmination of the Salii family's wisdom and my greatest invention!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed to the large conduit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once activated, the Warp energy extractor will draw energy from the void, providing the core with the power it needs to ignite the Machine Spirit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden raised a brow, pointing outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what's that big contraption out there for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, the grand workshop of the great Kaul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul answered without hesitation, revealing that he had named the skull-shaped machine structure in his honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So all the resources you requested went into building the Machine Spirit core, and nothing was misappropriated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul, slightly guilty, still kept his tone firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-of course not! That workshop is a vital facility for my Machine Spirit Link research!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He absolutely had misreported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden felt a pang of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That had been half of the resources accumulated over three millennia by the Grant and Hoffman families, squandered on Kaul's vanity project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was nothing he could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blessings could increase loyalty but didn't fully control thoughts or alter personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul, feeling Eden's intense gaze, nervously shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord... perhaps we should proceed with igniting the Machine Spirit to avoid missing the auspicious timing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, but if it fails, you'll be meeting the Emperor soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It won't fail!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul brimmed with confidence in his invention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden gritted his teeth, trying to convince himself to let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he'd still get value out of Kaul in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Eden's approval, the ritual to light the Machine Spirit began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tech-acolytes lit incense and polished the Machine Spirit core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a lengthy process, and Eden found himself yawning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he endured, respecting the rites meant to honor the Machine Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Kaul, the Machine Spirit already resided within the device, simply awaiting awakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the final rites concluded, a deep, resonant chime from the mechanized bell startled Eden back to full alertness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it was time to awaken the Machine Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul busied himself at the control panel while the tech-acolytes chanted hymns, hoping to please the Machine Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each line of code and input complete, the Warp energy extractor activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large conduit began pulsing with energy, reaching into the Warp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden could feel the conduit bridging the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was not just a random connection to the Warp—that would be too dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conduit was set to connect to the channel Eden had established when he created his psychic core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Eden's mind delved inward, his consciousness returning to the mini-sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, he found himself in the Warp, manipulating the mini-sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing he did upon arriving was to send a psychic message to the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message's gist was simple:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, it's me, an ally... this thing is mine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he needed to notify the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be rude otherwise, especially since this large conduit was about to intrude into His domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, Eden received no reply to his psychic message, which he had grown used to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No response meant it was received and approved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If disapproved... well, he'd know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, ripples appeared in the Warp space not far from the mini-sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conduit from the Warp energy extractor followed the established channel, settling securely in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once stabilized, Eden directed the mini-sun's energy into the conduit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy flowed into the physical world, providing a constant power source for the Machine Spirit core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the conduit running smoothly, Eden couldn't help but marvel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kudos to Tzeentch for this tech—impressive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everything running as expected, Eden's consciousness swiftly returned to the physical world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was eager to see if the Machine Spirit core would function as planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon regaining his vision, he saw the core encased in the radiant golden energy of the mini-sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden currents crackled around the machinery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The complex gears of the Machine Spirit core whirred to life, and the transparent cables surrounding it glowed a brilliant yellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tech-acolytes chanted their hymns with renewed vigor, their song reaching a crescendo—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden felt an awareness beginning to stir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Praise the Omnissiah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul's mechanical arms waved with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Machine Spirit has awakened!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Salii family's dream, pursued for nearly a thousand years, had finally been realized; Kaul had created the ultimate Machine Spirit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his excitement, he tried to communicate with the Machine Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, I am your creator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait... why is the Machine Spirit displeased?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul was panicked. This was the precious creation of the Salii family; nothing could go wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his head in desperation, wondering where he'd erred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he forgotten to light incense? Or had he startled the Machine Spirit with his enthusiasm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snatching an incense burner from a tech-acolyte, Kaul leaned toward the core, speaking gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear Machine Spirit, I am your creator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forgive my boldness, please. If there's anything you need, just ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Machine Spirit ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it addressed Eden, warmly and affectionately:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Check Out My Patreon For +20 Extra Chapters On All My Fanfics!!
