Grant, there was little about the Underhive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of his activities had been confined to the paradise of the Spire Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His impression of the Underhive was vague at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the scenery of the Underhive, Eden couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The structures in the Underhive were built layer upon layer with quick-setting concrete and metal, with countless residential zones and industrial districts connected to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newer communities were built atop older ones, continuously stacking upward to heights of several kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, he could only see an endless mass of dense buildings, faint artificial lights, and a dark sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Eden knew that at the very top lay the Spire Mansion, the \"paradise\" of this planet, blessed with sunlight and fresh air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, the Underhive, forever devoid of sunlight, was dark, damp, and chaotic, its air filled with the stench of chemicals, and even the puddles on the streets gave off a faint odor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the air and water here had gone through millions of cycles of filtration—barely suitable to sustain life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden steadied himself against a wall, forcing himself to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Days of intense psychic power usage had brought this body close to its limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision was affected, and he was even experiencing hallucinations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The calmness of this street surprised him, but also gave him a sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he had thought the Underhive would be a blood-soaked battlefield, ravaged by the heretical rebels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had assumed all its residents had been corrupted, transformed into terrifying chaos creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the reality was much better than he had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a basic order here, with no apparent signs of large-scale warfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no cultists visible, nor was there any sound of gunfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People, although thin from hunger, walked by without overwhelming fear—some even with faint smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In general, the entire district felt... peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So peaceful, it was almost strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could there be something even more terrifying lurking here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden shook his head, quickly dismissing the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere here was pleasant, giving him a strange sense of comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was likely he had wandered into a zone under the control of the Underhive Defense Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And probably into its core area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would explain the good order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the closure of the Hive, the Defense Force had been stationed throughout the Underhive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They guarded their respective zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why the heretical rebels had been able to breach the Hive's defenses so easily—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many possible reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the rebel forces had corrupted and gathered too quickly, catching the Defense Force off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe the Defense Force had been infiltrated, leading to mass betrayal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also one of the reasons why the palace district had resolutely sealed off the Hive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Eden, whether or not the Defense Force had betrayed them was not crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the Defense Force remained, protecting the people and preventing them from becoming heretical cultists or chaos creatures, it was good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because what Eden needed most was population.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And defeating rebels was far simpler than dealing with the disgusting chaos entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden squinted his pale eyes, controlling his breathing, and pulled his tattered cloak tightly around himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was prepared to blend into the crowd to gather information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to data from before the rebellion, the total area of the Underhive was nearly one-tenth of a continent, with a population close to two billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how many had survived, no one knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, gathering intelligence on the factions in the various regions of the Underhive wasn't easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only mid- to high-level officers and officials of each faction would know such information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the immediate task was to figure out who was in control here and find someone suitable to gather intelligence from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a psychic like Eden, manipulating the minds of ordinary people to make them reveal information was a simple matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden entered the district, but after only a few steps, he encountered a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His psychic senses instinctively detected danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, it's the aura of a chaos heretic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced his eyes open, looking towards a pipe above the street—it was coming from there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly shouted to the people around him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scatter! Heretic attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing about the heretic attack, the crowd panicked, scattering in every direction in search of shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was already too late. Dozens of cultists, marked with blood-red symbols and adorned with various bones, fell from the pipes onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly scrambled to their feet, screaming as they wielded their weapons, attacking the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, axes swung, bullets flew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill! Kill! Let the blood flow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A great blood sacrifice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many civilians who couldn't escape in time were brutally murdered and dismembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd fled in chaos, and the scene descended into utter bedlam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden mustered his strength to form a psychic orb, blowing off the head of the nearest heretic and seizing his firearm to counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fired a few rounds, killing several heretics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultists, realizing someone was fighting back, directed heavy firepower at him, making it difficult for Eden to hold his ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his weakened state, he couldn't withstand a direct confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, nearby patrols arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly engaged the cultists, easing the pressure on Eden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ratatatatatatata!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a massive figure tumbled from a distant pipe, landing with a thud on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struggled to rise and roared at the crowd:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wrath Descends!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Eden caught sight of the massive cultist, his scalp went numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hulking cultist was nearly two meters tall, smeared in blood, with human bones embedded in his flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even worse, his body was covered in various wires, and a bomb was embedded in his swollen belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the bomb in his belly was flashing red, the beeping growing faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that thing exploded, it could take out half the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his psychic projection would be obliterated instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hulking heretic steadied himself, taking heavy steps towards the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the Emperor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers leapt out of their cover, charging forward without hesitation to try to stop the heretic with their own bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they hadn't reached him before other cultists gunned them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never retreat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the Emperor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More soldiers shouted as they charged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their determination was unwavering—they were the Emperor's most loyal warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, they were willing to give everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden was deeply moved by this display, overwhelmed with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such loyalty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these people, he had to take a risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hulking heretic was halfway through the crowd now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden braced himself against the wall, enduring the blinding pain in his head, gathering all his psychic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand, focusing on the hulking heretic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The charging heretic froze suddenly, clutching his head and wailing in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden's psychic energy surged within his brain, pushing it to the breaking point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die, heretic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heretic's head exploded like a watermelon, blood spurting from his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His corpse dropped with a heavy thud, landing right among the cultists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep, beep, beep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultists hesitated at the sound of the rapid beeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They glanced at the flashing red light of the bomb inside the fallen giant, cursing aloud:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive explosion of fire engulfed the cultists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wake up...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden's eyes fluttered open, his head throbbing with pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened—did he just pass out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his blurred vision, a gentle woman in a veil was looking at him with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Emperor be praised, he's alive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Eden awake, the woman called out excitedly to someone nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a man who appeared to be an officer approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Eden intently, his gaze sharp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Check Out My Patreon For +20 Extra Chapters On All My Fanfics!!
