Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Chapter 9 Demonstration of Ability

The strong man used to be a member of a merchant family in the upper class of the No. 2 Hive World of the Teda Galaxy. He had good knowledge and had once followed his family's caravan to another galaxy to transport supplies. He was also fortunate to witness the majesty of the Emperor Angel, but the strong man felt that the Emperor Angel could not catch up with the person in front of him.

However, more than ten years ago, the planet's governor continued to increase tithes on everyone, and no one in the family could get into the power circle, resulting in the entire family being forced to suffer from the ever-increasing taxes, which led to the destruction of the family.

Those who could not pay taxes would be demoted to slaves by the governor and sold to other nobles. The strong man did not want to be humiliated, so he took his pregnant wife and ran to the chaotic place of Dichao.

He makes a living by picking up garbage in the bottom nest, leading a precarious life. His formerly beautiful and gentle wife also lives in fear with him in the bottom nest, and she gradually turns from a gentle woman into a shrew.

Because of her weakness and incompetence, the daughter picked up some garbage to fill her stomach when she was hungry. She accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms, which led to a respiratory viral infection. She had to have her respiratory tract, trachea and entire jaw removed, and wear a crude mechanical respirator.

All this is because of my own weakness and incompetence, which has caused my family to suffer such hardships.

In the past, when he faced hardships, he kept praying for the Emperor's grace, but in the end, his life did not get any better and he continued to live in misery. From then on, the man no longer prayed for the Emperor's mercy, and he deeply understood that only by relying on his own efforts could he survive in this cruel world.

Today he met an extremely powerful savior. Although his strength has not been demonstrated yet, the man firmly believes that his chance to change his destiny has come.

Although the Savior said that he was an existence that resisted the empire, if he and others followed the Savior, they would lose their lives.

But I am living a life worse than death now. If I try hard, I may live a better life. Now that an opportunity has appeared in front of me, what reason do I have to refuse such a hard-won opportunity?

"You are all willing to follow me? Are you sure?"

The art student looked at the people kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but ask.

This was the first time in all his life that someone said they wanted to follow him. The art student was happy and his originally dull tone became gentle.

After the art student asked, everyone looked up and looked at the art student with hope, hoping that he would be willing to accept their support.

After receiving the art student's affirmative answer, everyone answered happily.

"Sir, we are willing."

"Sir, I am willing to follow you."

"My Lord, Gray's thoughts are my thoughts."

"Very good. Since you are all willing to follow me, I cannot let you down. I accept you."

As the art student spoke, he gently waved his right hand towards the crowd.

Everyone was confused at first about what the art student's gesture meant, but suddenly a few of them felt changes in their bodies and couldn't help but speak.

"My hand is actually healed!"

"My arm has grown back, too."

People who were disabled for various reasons could only rely on picking up various useful garbage to install mechanical prostheses in the major gangs of the bottom nest. However, the skills of the people in those gangs were also very poor, and the installed prostheses were very rough, like they were pieced together from scrap metal.

The broken palm is replaced by a not very flexible mechanical claw installed directly at the wrist, which is also very expensive.

Now the rough mechanical prostheses that he and others had worn have disappeared and have been replaced by beautiful and flexible mechanical prostheses. They are covered with real human skin and feel like real skin.

"me…"

"I don't speak electronically anymore!"

The 1-meter-tall gray-haired little girl originally just felt an itch on her jaw. When she opened her mouth to say something, she heard a normal girl's voice. The little girl was stunned and said something in disbelief.

The only woman among the survivors who was armed with a gun heard her daughter's lovely voice when she was a child. She felt unbelievable and rushed over to hug the little girl. She saw that the respirator had disappeared and the little girl had turned into a normal person.

The woman, who was originally quite strong, could not stop crying as she hugged the little girl and spoke with sobs.

"Lilith, it's great that you're back to normal."

The woman was crying as she comforted the girl and seemed to be comforting herself, her voice choked with sobs.

The strong man nearby also rushed over, hugged the woman and the child and started crying together, still talking non-stop.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir."

The three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, constantly expressing their gratitude for everything the art student had done.

The rest of the survivors were also happy that their companions had recovered and were like normal people.

After being happy, everyone knelt down in front of the art student again, constantly expressing their gratitude and looking at him with longing. Everyone was impressed by the abilities displayed by the art student and looked at him as if he were a god.

Art students simply use their ability to distort physics to transform those crude mechanical prostheses into nanomechanical prostheses that are as flexible as real organs. The skin is just nano-simulated skin, which is not a difficult task.

"You should be the leader of your group, introduce yourself!"

The art student watched the crowd gradually calm down, and then looked at the burly man holding the woman and child.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I am the leader of our group of scavengers. My name is Gray Mark, this is my wife Luju Mark, my daughter Lilith Mark, and this is my good friend David..."

The sturdy man Gray introduced the members of his scavenging team to the art student one by one, and the art student also wrote down the names of his first group of men.

"Well, since you are all willing to follow me, then all of you should stand up. I don't like others kneeling down to me. Stand up."

The art student looked at the people who were still kneeling on the ground and spoke softly, asking everyone to stand up.

Now everyone admires the art student immensely and believes his words without a doubt. The art student asks everyone to stand up, and everyone stands up from the ground, looking up at the art student.

The art student took out a water bag from the back of his power armor cloak and handed it to Gray.

"Follow me and there's endless clean water and food. You've been running for so long, you must be thirsty. Drink some water first."

Gray took the water bag handed to him by the art student with both hands, carefully opened the bottle cap, took a sip of clean water, and his eyes lit up. When he was on the upper level, the water he drank had a strange taste. Such clean water was very expensive.
