"Hahaha! I knew it, my little wolf pup, you're still on my side and wouldn't be taken away by that bastard!" Leman Russ nodded happily after hearing what Axis had to say.

He was, after all, a little one he'd raised for nearly two years; he was still loyal to him. As for his cheapskate father wanting to snatch his little wolf pup away? Not a chance in hell.

"Of course. I crave battle on the front lines, and as you heard earlier, the Adeptus Custodes' primary duty is to remain by Emperor's side or guard the Imperial Palace on Holy Terra. That's not the life for me," Axis replied.

In truth, the Adeptus Custodes carried out plenty of secret missions and combat, but their organization was far too rigid. Axis wanted custom-tailored augmentation surgery, but that didn't mean he had to become a palace-guarding Adeptus Custodes!

Staying cooped up on Holy Terra in the future? How could that compare to the freedom of staying by the Old Wolf's side? Staying with the Old Wolf was the safest bet.

"Still, we need to plan this carefully. My father is incredibly overbearing. Under normal circumstances, he won't agree to let you leave; he values you too highly," Leman Russ said.

He hadn't expected that the first thing he'd have to do upon returning was to play a game of wits with his cheapskate father!

Regardless, he would never let Axis leave his side. That was non-negotiable.

But convincing Emperor to perform the Adeptus Custodes' augmentations on a kid like Axis while still letting him stay by his side would be incredibly difficult.

"Don't worry, I already have a detailed plan. Do you remember the spaceship I brought with me?" Axis said with a grin.

He held something in his hands that would make Emperor desperate, something he would crave above all else!

Emperor's desire for this item would surpass everything; he would even sacrifice a Primarch just to obtain it.

So, for a mere custom Adeptus Custodes surgery? Axis was 100% certain he could make Emperor agree!

"What kind of goodie do you have, kid? Is there something special about that escape pod of yours?" Leman Russ asked.

"That's no escape pod. It's a genuine spaceship, one capable of faster-than-light travel across the galaxy. Don't get it twisted," Axis corrected him.

If he thought it was just an escape pod, he was dead wrong. Although the Saiyan ship was compact and delicate, it was undoubtedly an FTL vessel capable of traversing the stars at superluminal speeds.

And in the galaxy of the Warhammer universe, Emperor knew better than anyone what FTL travel meant.

Even during the Dark Age of Technology—the legendary Golden Age—the Imperium of Man's only method of travel was through the Warp. Achieving FTL travel was considered impossibly difficult.

In the entire Warhammer universe, only two known races could achieve FTL travel within realspace.

The first were the Necrons, who were mostly still in slumber, with only a few having awakened. Their ships could travel faster than light without any need to enter the Warp.

The second were the Tyranids, who had yet to be discovered in the galaxy. The Tyranids used their Hive Ships to travel at FTL speeds, also without needing the Warp.

Every other race had no choice but to use the Warp.

Even the mighty Old Ones, who developed the Webway that spanned the entire galaxy, had carved it out in the rift between the Warp and reality. Theoretically, that was still a form of Warp travel—just an extremely safe, efficient, and rapid one.

Travel within the Warp was incredibly dangerous; otherwise, Emperor wouldn't have been secretly excavating the Webway on Holy Terra, intending to connect it to the Eldar's Webway.

He wanted to escape Warp travel and free humanity from the shackles of the Warp once and for all.

If he produced a ship capable of FTL travel now, the value to Emperor would be immeasurable.

Emperor wouldn't hesitate for a second to trade half his Primarchs for it.

"What do you mean by 'faster-than-light travel'?" Russ asked.

Having grown up on the planet Fenris, he had little knowledge of space travel and didn't realize just how dangerous the universe truly was.

"Just think of it as a way to zip back and forth between planets very quickly. My ship's design is incredibly advanced. Although it only seats one person, it is equipped with an FTL engine, and the fuel it consumes is dark matter energy found in space. You could say that if this engine can be replicated, it wouldn't even need fuel—it could travel as long as it's in space," Axis explained.

The Saiyan pods were that badass. They were developed by aliens and were standard issue for the Frieza Army. These little ships were exceptionally advanced, packed with all sorts of black technology.

Take the Saiyan combat suits, for instance. They were incredibly thin—lighter than ordinary human clothing—yet their defensive capabilities were terrifying, and their elasticity was off the charts.

As for the materials used to make them, they could be found on Earth. Why? Because Bulma could replicate them.

If Bulma could replicate them, there was no reason the Adeptus Mechanicus couldn't.

Even if those Adeptus Mechanicus tech-priests were a bit useless, there was still Emperor!

Beyond being a capable leader, politician, and warrior, Emperor was also a brilliant scientist.

"So, you intend to hand the entire ship over to my father, right?" Leman Russ asked.

Could this special ship really make Emperor agree to this?

"Of course I can't just hand it over! You have to bait the hook bit by bit. For now, we won't tell Emperor about the FTL engine. There are other things on this ship that will be enough to whet his appetite. I have some very powerful combat suits and a few special laser guns on board. And there's the Scouter—these are all great things. We can't show all our cards at once, you understand?" Axis said.

When he escaped Planet Vegeta, Axis had swiped quite a few things, like Saibaman seeds and the Frieza Army's Medical Tanks.

The most precious part of the ship was the FTL engine, but there was only one, and he didn't know if humanity's current technological level could replicate it.

"Heh! I get it!" Leman Russ gave Axis a knowing look.

Axis and Leman Russ returned to the tribe together and began dismantling the ship. This time, they would start by dangling some choice items to hook Emperor.

They would make the Old Man bow to their terms.
