His sights were set on the void-dwelling survivors aboard the derelict space vessel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the tribal settlement clinging to the mountains of wreckage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his exploration of the derelict vessel with the Little Sun, Eden had discovered these void survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies were incredibly strong, capable of slaying Chaos creatures with their bare hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were natural-born warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, the Chaos creatures here are endless. How many more do I have to kill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden grumbled, tossing aside the remains of a Chaos beast as he made his way toward the void survivors' settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had uncovered their secrets, giving him hope of recruiting these powerful warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the tribe's outskirts:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tia stood anxiously at the settlement's entrance, awaiting the return of the foraging party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father had joined the foragers in their search for fungi within the mountains of wreckage, and she was deeply worried for their safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fungi near the settlement were growing scarce, forcing the foragers to venture further out, where they faced increasingly dangerous Chaos creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each foraging trip resulted in casualties, yet they had no choice but to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwindling fungi supply had already led to famine in the tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the foragers didn't bring back food, more people would starve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tia had been waiting a long time. One group of foragers after another returned, injured and downcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she inquired, they could only report that the fungi were vanishing in patches, leaving them with almost nothing to collect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the tribe would face another wave of starvation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tia herself was starving, but she held onto hope that her father, the best forager in the tribe, would return with food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh great deity, please protect my father and the others. Let them return safely...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tia clasped the wooden figurine in her hands tightly, her young face solemn and devout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figurine represented the deity her tribe had worshipped since its inception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the eldest shaman, who had lived for decades, didn't know the deity's true name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only knew it was the tribe's protector and savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During every ritual, the shaman would recount an ancient prophecy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tribe must worship the deity with utmost devotion, for one day the deity would hear their call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would descend clad in golden armor from the void to save them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they would follow in the deity's footsteps to a beautiful paradise, a land of warmth, endless food, and sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the void survivors, this prophecy was a beacon of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tia clung to it during every ritual, imagining the paradise where she and her loved ones would never go hungry again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost in her daydream, Tia was suddenly overshadowed by a looming figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little girl, can you help me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden, clad in radiant golden power armor, looked down at her, forcing a warm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm a traveler from afar, here to trade with your people. Can you fetch your elders for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he awkwardly retrieved a loaf of bread and offered it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you help me, this tasty treat is yours...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tia's gaze shifted to the bread. Its aroma wafted into her nostrils—she had never smelled anything so delightful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of focusing on the bread, she stared blankly at Eden, her eyes wide with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden glow emanating from his armor struck a deep chord in her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clatter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden figurine fell from her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The deity... The deity has heard our call and descended...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled up in her eyes as Tia dropped to her knees in reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden was baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deity? What deity? Little girl, I just want you to fetch your elders...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By your will, great deity! I will inform them immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scrambling to her feet, Tia wiped her tears and ran toward the settlement, her small legs pumping with urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't wait to share the joyous news: their deity had come to lead them to paradise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's going on? Deity? Me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden scratched his head, watching the girl run off, his mind filled with questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't part of the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Eden had intended to recruit the void survivors by offering them food in exchange for fighting under his command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least with him, they'd receive ample food and proper armor, instead of risking their lives for scraps of fungi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking up the fallen wooden figurine, Eden examined it closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unmistakably a crude depiction of the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realization dawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These void survivors worshipped the Emperor, and they had mistaken him for their deity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, might as well go along with it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, as a minor Warp deity himself, he could loosely claim divine status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Tia informed the tribe, the entire settlement erupted in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly shaman, trembling with age, led the people in welcoming Eden, their \"deity,\" into the heart of the settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden's presentation of wheat-based food solidified their belief in his divinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, such delicious food could only come from the paradise foretold in the prophecy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long-awaited savior had arrived, offering them salvation from their endless hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knelt and begged Eden to lead them to the paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with their eager and hopeful faces, Eden felt a twinge of awkwardness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paradise? More like a world crawling with Genestealers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he tell them their deity's plan was to march them into the heart of a xenos hive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Check Out My Patreon For +20 Extra Chapters On All My Fanfics!!
