Even being a Planetary Governor isn't safe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden clenched his teeth and kept moving; his chances of survival were growing. As long as he could hold on until the guards arrived, he might make it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he reached the door and stretched out his hand to push it open, but all he felt was a cold wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An illusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden turned back to see the Daemonette blocking the way, a mocking expression in her hollow eye sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was laughing at him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusion she had cast had led him into a dead end, and even if the guards arrived, his chances of survival were slim!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... can die now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daemonette had clearly had enough fun.

The Daemonette's claws hovered in mid-air, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, a thin layer of frost had also formed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden's eyes crackled with golden lightning, arcs of electricity surrounding his body, occasionally striking the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, the power has arrived. I knew it, there's no way I could survive in Warhammer 40K without a cheat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden stood up, his cells rejoicing as his entire body and soul filled with electrical energy. His wounds gradually scabbed over and began to heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling was incredible, though the faint whispers in the void were somewhat annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were the calls from the Warp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wasn't mistaken, he had awakened psychic powers, becoming a Psyker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, becoming a Psyker wasn't necessarily a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psykers were considered a destabilizing factor in the Imperium, as they were extremely susceptible to corruption by the horrors of the Warp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperium constantly hunted and captured Psykers, sending them on the Black Ships of the Astra Telepathica to Holy Terra for testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who could resist corruption would serve the Imperium, while the unqualified ones would be sent to the Golden Throne to have their souls burned as fuel for the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that the Black Ships delivered a thousand Psykers every day to be consumed, sustaining the Astronomican.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed the Imperium's Warp travel and communication networks to remain functional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Eden's situation as a Psyker wasn't exactly optimistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his identity were exposed, even as a Planetary Governor, the Imperium would monitor him, and there was a chance he could be taken away on the Black Ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he failed the test, he would be sent to the Golden Throne to serve the Emperor in death...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These thoughts flashed through Eden's mind before he snapped back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now wasn't the time to worry about that — he had to deal with the Daemonette first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die! Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daemonette was furious that her prey had escaped. She roared and struggled, filled with a savage desire to kill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She broke free of the restraints and charged at Eden, determined to tear this loathsome human to pieces and devour him bit by bit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a fist crackling with golden lightning shot upward, striking her abdomen and sending her flying through the air, spitting out foul liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you thinking, sweetheart?\" Eden followed up with another punch, smashing the Daemonette's face. \"Stay down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daemonette's face twisted and deformed as she flew through the stained glass window and crashed onto the balcony, motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is she dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden didn't approach to check, wary of a final counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was still made of flesh and blood. A single well-placed spike could end his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His caution was justified, as the Daemonette was not dead yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly sprang up, her half-shattered skull glaring at him with intense malice, radiating a thick, chilling aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had grown even stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, if that's how you want to play...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Eden was about to engage in a life-or-death struggle, a commotion from outside caught his attention — the heavy footsteps of combat boots stomping on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately halted and dissipated his psychic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, the bedroom door was smashed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden's most loyal Captain of the Guard, Carter Crowley, led a squad of fully armed guards into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards each carried an Imperial-pattern boltgun, and they wore ceramite armor. Their physiques were far beyond that of normal men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trained to perfection, they instantly formed up around Eden, protecting him while aiming their boltguns at the Daemonette on the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at the Daemonette. \"Finish...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, the guards had already pulled the triggers, their weapons flashing as bullets poured out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rounds crisscrossed in the air, tearing the Daemonette's body apart like a rag doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the first volley, they reloaded and fired another round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two volleys of fire, Captain Carter quickly approached the Daemonette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew his chainsword and vertically sliced through the Daemonette's head, sending flesh and blood flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Carter gave the corpse a mighty kick, sending the body and part of the marble railing tumbling off the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dealing with the Daemonette, Carter turned and half-knelt before Eden, his determined face full of resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor, the heretic has been executed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, a dull thud echoed from below as the Daemonette's body hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden looked toward the balcony, where a cool breeze blew in through the broken window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bathed in moonlight, the blood-splattered balcony and bedroom resembled the scene of a brutal crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These guys are pretty tough...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden studied the guards. It seemed they had undergone some form of enhancement, as their physiques far exceeded those of normal men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Carter's figure was particularly impressive, easily over two meters tall, with a muscular build.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genetic enhancements?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their size was almost comparable to that of a Space Marine. This family was definitely something...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards exchanged uneasy glances, thinking their Governor was about to reprimand them, and bowed their heads in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good, excellent spirit. You've done well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden nodded approvingly, pulling Carter up and patting him on the shoulder, making the captain a little flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brutality is good, brutality is exactly what we need!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, plagued by Chaos, only real tough men could hold the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden's fear had completely vanished — he had realized something important!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All fear stems from insufficient firepower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to grow his power, build armies, and send out endless legions to cover all his enemies in devastating firepower!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slaanesh, right? I'll remember this. One day, I'll have my revenge on you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Eden's thoughts drifted, a nervous voice interrupted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the Emperor, are you alright, my lord?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bayev Cotton, the Grant family's senior steward, rushed into the room, looking worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Eden's confidant, Bayev managed all the affairs and personnel of the royal court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even helped with some governmental matters, a man with significant responsibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bayev's eyes briefly flicked to the faint frost still lingering on the ground, and he furrowed his brow slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1468,"2026-06-06T13:29:01.687Z",1,"novelbin.me","0caa1c1242dcd8f01e23a339f393f1942ef08fb81c34a0915ab330b27a316abf","warhammer-starting-as-a-planetary-governor-chapter-4","warhammer-starting-as-a-planetary-governor-chapter-2",771,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-starting-as-a-planetary-governor-cover.jpg"]
