Lin En asked the system, "Looking at your notes and your attitude toward the Aeldari, something feels off, doesn't it, bro?"

This perk was way too good. He knew exactly what his own luck was like.

Something was off.

One hundred thousand degrees of off out of ten.

The system replied righteously: [Not at all. You drew a legendary-tier reward because your character exploded with greatness. It was all thanks to your hard work!]

Lin En: "..."

Heh. I worked so hard. Right.

As if I'd believe that nonsense.

Boom, boom, boom! Enemies deserved to explode!

But the Craftworld had not exploded.

It had been meant to explode, but Aeldari Craftworlds were genuinely beautiful.

Lin En swept his gaze across the surrounding battlefield.

The Lamenters had nearly finished clearing out the remaining Aeldari soldiers. Gunfire in the corridors had grown sparse, and the screams had stopped as well.

Though the Aeldari were begging to be slaughtered, their Craftworld was still a fine ship.

What a beautiful ship it was.

Blowing it up like that would be such a waste.

Now that the troops had been thoroughly cleared out by the Lamenters, all that remained was an empty shell. Lin En thought that since the Blood Angels liked beautiful things, perhaps they could tow it over and give it to Dante as an ornament?

Standing on the Craftworld's deck, Lin En had already decided where it would go.

Baal's orbit was bare now, with nothing but defense platforms and docking berths.

For his first meeting with Dante, the Blood Angels' top-tier workhorse, he would give the little bird a seashell bird's-nest ornament as a greeting gift.

A floating white giant seashell above a red bird's nest—how pretty.
