Chapter 603

On the *Inevitably Conquered*, the flagship of the Stormlord Imotekh, which had once been destroyed by the Black Templars' High Marshal Helbrecht and later rebuilt by Imotekh's tomb technicians,

Imotekh's will revived, and the living metal was reconstructing his body bit by bit.

As a Phaeron, Imotekh naturally would not die easily; his resurrection protocol was also more advanced than that of most Phaerons, allowing his body to be reconstructed at high speed.

In almost the blink of an eye, Imotekh's body was more than half recovered, and his logical brain was also completely reconstructed, making his thinking swift, rigorous, and logical again.

Regarding his defeat, Imotekh did not feel much anger.

Too many accidents had occurred just now, too many illogical situations.

And Imotekh was actually not good at fighting; this had been the case as early as the Necrontyr period. He even had a problem with old cold legs that seriously affected combat back then.

He relied more on collecting information and logical analysis to predict the opponent's actions, induce the opponent's attacks, and manipulate the opponent's actions to defeat the opponent.

This led to a problem: when facing enemies he met for the first time without having collected enough information, illogical enemies, or situations where the battle situation was completely unreasonable, Imotekh was often hard to fend off.

One of the big reasons why Imotekh was satisfied with this mechanical body was that, relying on the self-healing ability of living metal, Imotekh could maneuver with the enemy almost infinitely, and in this process, constantly collect information, eventually defeating the enemy.

But the enemy encountered this time...

A series of data flashed rapidly before Imotekh's eyes, eventually confirming that the tall purple-gold figure was the human so-called gene-primarch Fulgrim.

But in human records, this gene-primarch had clearly betrayed and turned to the Void God in the Warp; why would he reappear in the human battle formation?

Imotekh repeatedly watched the images from that time, observing every move of "Fulgrim," and then compared them with the images of Guilliman, Sanguinius, and the mysterious hooded Primarch he had collected before, eventually noticing some differences.

"Some kind of cloning technology? In biotechnology, humans indeed have some attainments."

This point was something Imotekh had to admit. He had also studied the biotechnology of the human Empire out of the need to understand the enemy... How should he put it? The more Imotekh looked, the more he felt that their genetic technology was simply some kind of alchemy, some kind of feudal superstition, capable of achieving some completely unreasonable effects.

This was still within Imotekh's logical understanding.

What truly made Imotekh feel confused was that kind of inexplicable teleportation technology.

Imotekh did not know much about space-time technology and Warp technology, and could only be sure that it was definitely not teleportation through the Warp, nor was it teleportation through a pocket dimension similar to the Necrons. The technology within it made Imotekh feel completely lost, unable to grasp any principle at all.

Even after Imotekh passed these images to the tomb technicians serving him, the tomb technicians could not provide any valuable information.

Imotekh had a strange feeling.

He felt like a primitive man who had just learned to make stone tools, trying to understand the operating principle of a microchip.

Did humans actually master technology of this level?

Vigilance arose in the bottom of Imotekh's heart.

In his logical assessment, the danger of humans had risen by a tier.

Imotekh looked at the decree just sent by the Silent King in the name of the Triarch.

The Silent King, in the name of the Triarch, ordered Imotekh to crusade against Anrakyr.

This caused the eyes of Imotekh, which were flashing with pale green light, to flicker a few times.

He did not publicly oppose the Triarch now; in fact, Imotekh did not intend to do so either.

He only intended to target the Silent King and the two members of the Triarch he had selected, not the Triarch system itself, and strictly observed Necron war etiquette.

This was, of course, not because Imotekh was honest, but because Imotekh understood that his strength was not enough to defeat the Silent King in an unrestricted war.

He could only trap the Silent King in the framework of war etiquette, playing a war game between nobles with the Stormlord, and only then would the Stormlord have a certain chance of winning.

More importantly, doing so would help the Stormlord gain an advantage in politics and win over other Phaerons.

All the war actions taken by the Stormlord were essentially to support his political actions...

"Twenty-two Phaerons publicly expressed support for Anrakyr?"

The Stormlord was slightly surprised, not expecting that Anrakyr had gathered more than twenty Phaerons to support him so quickly, more than the number of Phaerons supporting the Stormlord.

This was also a force not to be underestimated within the Necrons, and these Phaerons had all once been loyal to the Silent King or the Silent King's allies.

How on earth did Anrakyr do it? It couldn't be that the Silent King had pushed these Phaerons to Anrakyr's side for nothing, right?

Even the Nihilakh Dynasty, which had always remained neutral and served only for wealth, had turned to Anrakyr.

Even with Trazyn there, Anrakyr's wealth could not possibly surpass the Silent King's, right?

It couldn't be that the Silent King had deducted the final payment of the Nihilakh Dynasty, right?

Imotekh soon realized the risk.

Anrakyr was different from the Silent King.

The Silent King could be said to be riddled with holes in politics; whether it was the sin of biotransference or the act of forcibly promoting Phaerons of his affiliated dynasties to become members of the Triarch after returning, these behaviors were extremely fatal in politics. Even the Phaerons most loyal to the Silent King could not refute Imotekh's accusations against the Silent King.

But Anrakyr was different. This Traveler could be said to be a perfect person in politics; he abandoned his world, gave up the status of Overlord, sailed between the stars, and had been committed to protecting the property and dignity of the Necron dynasties for a long time. Many dynasties had received Anrakyr's favor.
