Chapter 588
A ripple that went unnoticed rose within the Necron Dynasty; this ripple seemed to come from the other end of time, transmitted directly to every Overlord and Phaeron via quantum entanglement communication.
The Mephrit System,
this system was burned to the ground by a scorching stellar fire in the great war between the Tyranids, Necrons, and Blood Angels decades ago; that was the power of an ancient Necron artifact named Starfire, also known as the Grand Prism.
Under the power of that artifact, the oceans on the surface of Laesio were evaporated, the hive cities on the surface of Ashfold were burned to the ground, all living things dissipated in the fire, and the entire planet returned to silence.
Only on that cold planet, Pertita, did figures still wander.
This planet was a Tomb World of the Necron Mephrit Dynasty.
The Mephrit Dynasty was famous among the Necrons for its skill in manipulating stellar energy; they knew how to build super-distance pipelines to transmit stellar energy between different systems, grabbing the infinite energy of stars like the C'tan of the past, and were even better at stimulating the wrath of stars, letting them evaporate their enemies.
But the Phaeron of the Mephrit Dynasty was too unlucky; the first thing he saw when he woke up was not his loyal Overlord or technician, but an Aeldari Harlequin assassin.
That Aeldari Harlequin assassin took the head of the Phaeron of the Mephrit Dynasty, and the dynasty that lost its supreme ruler soon began to take a turn for the worse.
Some Overlords didn't survive the ravages of time and damaged themselves, some Overlords were occupied by those younger races who took over their Tomb Worlds and were killed, and some Overlords accidentally activated their ancient stellar weapons and burned themselves to ashes.
Even those Overlords who survived by good luck soon fell into infighting.
As the dynasty most skilled at playing with stars, the infighting of the Mephrit Dynasty was naturally tragic; the final result was that most of the Tomb Worlds and Overlords in the entire dynasty were destroyed in the roar of stellar power.
Except for Pertita. The Overlord on Pertita was named Zarathusa; he was the Overlord who woke up the latest in the entire dynasty.
When he opened his eyes, the other Overlords of the dynasty were already dead.
He inexplicably became the supreme ruler of the entire dynasty.
As for the resistance outside the dynasty...
Just kidding, the Mephrit Dynasty had a great reputation among the Necrons; although it only had one planet, Pertita, left due to various reasons, their technology for manipulating stars had not diminished at all.
And Overlord Zarathusa, after waking up, not only became extremely stubborn in personality, but also insisted on others calling him "He Who Must Not Be Named"—probably because his brain was burnt when he woke up.
Although he didn't show other symptoms of madness, who knew if it would worsen?
A lunatic holding a pile of stellar weapons, even the Necrons were unwilling to provoke him.
Otherwise, if the star above their own heads exploded one day, there would be nowhere to cry.
Zarathusa was happy to be idle; as long as no one came to Pertita to damage his property, he had no interest in making enemies with others.
His only enemies were those two thieves, Anrakyr and Trazyn.
He hosted them, but they stole Starfire—those two bastards, he would kill them sooner or later!
But today, Zarathusa's peace was broken.
A quantum entanglement communication suddenly flared up, forcing a connection without Zarathusa's permission.
What appeared in this communication was not a Necron, but a human.
A beautiful white-haired man with a gentle smile and violet eyes narrated the faith known as Saint Doraemon in a highly seductive voice.
The man claimed that Saint Doraemon was the source of power for all machines, all spirits, and all living things, and was the first power at the beginning of the birth of all things.
He chose humanity, Aeldari, and Necrons to be his chosen people; humanity and Aeldari had already received his blessings, and now he would also bless the Necrons; he would grant the Necrons a soul.
Zarathusa expressed contempt and disdain for this.
An unknown so-called god, using a mouth full of lies to deceive the Necrons, promising them redemption.
Fucking Deceiver, endless, using the same trick twice??
Do they really think that every Necron is the Silent King??
But, soon, the image on the other end was connected.
That was the scene of the so-called human Regent negotiating with the Silent King.
Seeing the Silent King, Zarathusa's heart skipped a beat.
Fucking Deceiver, really too much of a bastard, knowing that other Necrons wouldn't be easily fooled, specifically picking on the Silent King alone!
According to Zarathusa's understanding of the Silent King, if this was really a conspiracy of the Deceiver, then the Silent King would likely be fooled.
The Silent King was a very magical ruler.
Objectively speaking, if you throw away the fact that he is easily deceived, and every time he is deceived, he is deceived in a big way, the Silent King's ability is actually not bad.
His strength is powerful, he has mastered a large amount of mysterious knowledge, and his ability in political struggle is unique; being able to destroy all the C'tan at a critical moment has already proven his ability.
But the Silent King's problem is that if he doesn't lose everything, lose his soul, and lose his entire race, he can't exert his ability.
Because only at that time, when the Silent King has nothing left to lose and nothing left to be deceived, the most fatal flaw in his personality—being easily deceived—naturally disappears.
He is a monarch good at extreme turnarounds; the more extreme the situation, the stronger his ability... As for why the situation is so extreme, haha.
Zarathusa shook his head helplessly.
This "He Who Must Not Be Named" looked at Hapsatras the Radiant, one of the Triarch, revealing his ugliness.
He actually revealed such ugliness under the roar of a mere human, stupid enough to fall from the blackstone high platform; he was simply a clown.
And Mesophet the Blade, who was defeated by a single glance; he was truly trash.
The so-called Triarch, the Silent King is the supreme power, and also the source of the power of the other two Triarchs, but he is silent, never publicly announcing his will, but letting the other two Triarchs speak on his behalf.
