Eden looked at Kaul and couldn't help but marvel at his audacity.

This guy truly had a knack for causing upheaval.

They hadn't even officially faced the core forces of Chaos, and Kaul was already scheming ways to take on a Chaos Greater Daemon.

If Kaul's power and resources ever reached their full potential, Eden could hardly imagine what kind of chaos this man might unleash.

Fortunately, Kaul's reckless experimentation had hit upon a breakthrough this time, conveniently solving one of Eden's most pressing problems.

Standing up from the couch, Eden walked over to Kaul.

Kaul, assuming the Savior was about to reprimand him, quickly stood at attention with an awkward mix of defiance and fear.

"I admit, this research carries some risks, but it's all for the future of Urth!" Kaul stammered.

"Well said. Urth needs talents like you!" Eden clapped him on the shoulder, loudly praising him.

The unexpected commendation left Kaul stunned, even a little moved.

When was the last time the Savior had praised him?

Meanwhile, that bastard Moss constantly received accolades and a flood of resources. His Mechanicus tower was several times taller than Kaul's own.

The disparity left Kaul seething, forcing him to scrounge for resources to fund his secret projects.

In Kaul's grand plans, the weapon designed to counter Chaos Greater Daemons was meant to be his ace in the hole. He envisioned a dramatic unveiling: stepping in to annihilate a Greater Daemon in a crisis and basking in the glory, forever enshrined as a legend.

But now, his secret had been exposed prematurely.

Eden, however, seemed uncharacteristically enthusiastic. Taking Kaul's hand, he asked with genuine curiosity about the weapon's progress:

"Master of the Black Mechanicus, how is the project coming along? Any difficulties? Don't hesitate to speak up—the King's Court will provide full support!"

Under Kaul's explanation, Eden gained a general understanding of the project.

The specifics were beyond him, but the overall concept was clear: sacred bone-ash bombs powered by a compressed energy core.

Kaul had discovered that certain relics retained traces of psychic energy capable of irreversibly burning the souls of Warp entities. Against weaker daemons, the relics could cause instant banishment.

By combining this energy with a compressed energy core, the weapon's power could be amplified to harm even stronger targets, potentially banishing Chaos Greater Daemons.

Eden considered this idea. It did seem plausible.

Normally, daemons couldn't be killed outright. Their physical forms could be destroyed, or they could be banished back to the Warp through rituals.

However, specific weapons and psychic energies could harm a daemon's very soul.

For instance, the Grey Knights, the Inquisition's elite daemon hunters, wielded such abilities. Their psychic purity was a bane to Chaos entities, with even weaker daemons disintegrating in their presence to avoid prolonged agony.

The Emperor himself represented the ultimate counter to Chaos. His golden blade could permanently kill daemons, including Greater Daemons, while the golden light of the Astronomican could reduce even the mightiest Chaos entities to ashes.

The Chaos Gods feared the Emperor so much they dared not utter his name, referring to him only as "the Cursed One" or "the Unmentionable."

If Kaul could replicate even a fraction of this power, his weapon could indeed banish even the strongest of daemons.

Unfortunately, Kaul faced two major challenges.

First, the relics' psychic energy was insufficient to harm a Chaos Greater Daemon.

Second, activating the relics required a vast, stable energy source, and Kaul's attempts to extract Warp energy had proven dangerously unstable, often leading to explosions.

"Have you considered compressing energy from the Little Sun?" Eden suggested.

The Little Sun, Eden's core power source, was a potent and versatile energy source.

Kaul, being part of Eden's inner circle, was aware of its existence but not its full capabilities.

Kaul shook his head. "Its properties are too gentle. It's suitable for catalyzing or stabilizing other energies, but I need something fierce yet stable."

Fierce yet stable… Eden thought. There might be such a source, but obtaining it would be no small task.

Before Eden could elaborate, Kaul checked the time and suddenly looked sheepish.

"Pardon me, but I need to return to the lab. The Warp energy I've been compressing requires attention, or it might blow up the workshop. I have about three minutes."

"…Go on then," Eden sighed, waving him off. "But if it explodes, I'm not covering the repairs."

Kaul bolted from the room. Moments later, the roar of his vehicle echoed as he sped off.

Eden sipped his drink calmly, already planning to relocate Kaul to the moon after the campaign. Let him wreak havoc there instead of disturbing the peace on Urth.

A muffled explosion shook the building, confirming Eden's suspicions. Kaul had likely released the unstable energy just in time.

Kaul soon returned, injecting himself with healing agents as if to highlight his dedication.

"Crisis resolved! We can continue," he declared proudly.

Ignoring the theatrics, Eden resumed discussing solutions to the project's challenges.

...

Two Months Later

In the Warp, the Golden Sun, representing the Emperor, floated in the void, radiating waves of psychic power that repelled all Chaos entities.

Suddenly, a mechanical conduit extended toward the sun's outer edges.

The Emperor's psychic presence sent an inquiry, which Eden instantly understood.

"Lord Emperor, you have such abundant energy… may I borrow a little?" Eden transmitted through psychic means, providing a detailed explanation of his request.

Surprisingly, the Emperor consented, even conveying a faint sense of approval.

Eden relayed the good news to Kaul, who activated the reinforced extraction device.

The machine carefully siphoned the Emperor's energy, stabilizing it by blending it with the Little Sun's power.

Finally, the first fully functional sacred bone-ash bomb was completed.

In the testing range, Eden donned protective goggles and signaled Kaul to proceed.

Boom!

A radiant burst of golden energy obliterated the captured Warp entity, reducing both its body and soul to ash.

The test was a success.

However, Kaul approached hesitantly afterward.

"We've used up the last batch of marrow. Could we… extract more?"

Eden sighed deeply. "Fine. Take what you need. Just… make it count this time."

As Urth entered full-scale war preparations, Eden resolved to make this weapon his trump card.

Victory was the only option.
