Chapter 631: Vashtorr: It's a Good Thing Zhou Yun Doesn't Want to Become a God

Floating before Vashtorr at this moment was a profane planet. Everything on this planet was composed of roaring machinery, steel, pipes, and factories, looking every bit like a mechanical daemon world.

This planet had many names: Long Linxing, the Discordant Engine, the Old One Artifact, Caliban, the Key...

But Vashtorr knew the essence of this artifact. It was a tool used by the Old Ones to tear through the continuity of space-time and excavate the Webway between the Warp and reality. It was also the key to opening the Old One vaults and obtaining the "weapon," the necessary stepping stone for Vashtorr's ascension to godhood.

Vashtorr was busy assembling this artifact. To understand the wisdom of the Old Ones, He was frantically pushing His processing power to the limit.

But even while so busy, when Orikan vented His wisdom among the stars and displayed those miraculous concepts upon the universe, Vashtorr was still attracted.

After all, He was a demigod of inventors, engineers, scientists, and craftsmen, representing creativity stripped of morality, a thirst for knowledge pushed to the dark extreme. Curiosity was one of His innate instincts.

He thirsted for knowledge, thirsted for creation, thirsted to turn those insane concepts in His mind into true reality.

From this point of view, Orikan's actions were exactly to His liking.

He cast His gaze from the Soul Forge, passing through the endless, nested Xindu system, and saw the scene within through the power of the Warp and the Old One artifact.

The stars of the Xindu system had already extinguished, and the structure of the universe itself had been dissolved into pure energy. The bands of light entwined around Orikan absorbed the energy from the dissolution of the entire star system, transforming into blades that sliced through the Deceiver's body.

The living metal skin of the C'tan was torn apart with ease, and molten energy roared out, carrying the high temperatures from the beginning of creation, burning this current universe.

The Deceiver struggled, condensing a zero-dimensional point in His hand. The surrounding matter and energy collapsed toward Him, and He held this singularity and smashed it toward Orikan's body.

But Orikan just waved His hand gently. The zero-dimensional point instantly expanded into a two-dimensional plane and then expanded into a three-dimensional cube in the blink of an eye, which Orikan casually threw aside.

He used light as claws to tear open the Deceiver's metallic body. The living metal boiled into steam and vanished, exposing the Deceiver's original energy form.

The Deceiver seemed to be begging, trying to manipulate Orikan with words and lies, but this had no effect at all.

Orikan tore apart His energy-flowing body. The C'tan, which had only just partially aggregated, was instantly torn into shattered fragments.

He ground up every fragment with His fingers, extracting all the energy within like a vampire, and swallowed the energy-drained fragments into His own body.

Vashtorr watched this scene and let out a soft exclamation of praise.

He roughly discerned some of the principles of Orikan's ascension and marveled at Orikan's wisdom and talent.

It was just a pity that this path was completely different from His own and could not achieve what He thirsted for, so it could not serve as a reference.

At the same time, Vashtorr also felt a slight sense of fortune.

Such a genius Necron actually owed allegiance to Saint Doraemon, owed allegiance to Zhou Yun.

If Zhou Yun had any intention of competing for the throne of Malicious Artistry, Vashtorr's path to godhood would be extremely difficult.

But the good thing was that the person was very clear that becoming a god was not a good thing and was completely uninterested in becoming a god.

Becoming a true Chaos God meant that one would become the first sacrifice on that god's altar.

If it weren't for His own thirst, Vashtorr would not seek to ascend to godhood either.

Just at this moment, Vashtorr sensed that in the Duat system, not far from the Xindu system, a rift had been pierced in the reality dimension, and the things that constituted the world itself had been tampered with...

A powerful tearing sensation ran through Orikan's body. The moment He swallowed the Deceiver, Orikan felt hundreds, thousands, or even countless voices whispering and roaring within Orikan's will.

These were the residual wills of the C'tan once swallowed by the Deceiver, and the fragments of the souls swallowed by the Deceiver.

The two intertwined, constantly trying to tear apart Orikan's will.

The Deceiver's voice began to ring in Orikan's ears, whispering softly, trying to drown Orikan out.

This was the Deceiver's final deception, and also the only way to survive He could think of.

He wanted to trick Orikan, to make Orikan believe that He was the Deceiver, to accept the Deceiver's will, and to become the Deceiver.

In this way, the Deceiver could be reborn in an alternative way as a newly born, complete C'tan.

The Deceiver's will began to seep into Orikan's will bit by bit, trying to erode His will.

The residual wills of the C'tan and souls swallowed by the Deceiver also began to surge toward Orikan's will. Under the whispers of the Deceiver's will, they developed the same impulses as the Deceiver.

The Deceiver's whispers began to become more and more urgent. His will had already seeped into the area where Orikan managed His self. As long as He distorted this part, He could make Orikan believe that He was the Deceiver.

But this was also the most difficult step. This required answering the question of what "I" am...

"Two mass points m1 and m2, while sinking into a standard pocket dimension model at speed a, perform uniform motion, rotation, and vibration. Please solve for the dimensional momentum, Xie Mohe quantity, and Xie Mohe equation of these two mass points."

Orikan's will spoke calmly.

A question mark slowly appeared on the Deceiver's forehead.

"Introduce five Old One standard equivalents of Warp energy into the Blackstone Pylon, and push the Blackstone Pylon into the rift between reality and the Warp, passing through star system c at speed a. Solve for the change function of reality intensity and Warp intensity within star system c."

"This is a simple spiral system model, 22 trillion light-years in diameter, containing 689 billion stars. The spiral galaxy begins to merge with the Milky Way at speed a. Please calculate the motion trajectory of every star, planet, moon, and asteroid within it."

"Which bookshelf and which book behind it in the Necron Grand Archive is Trazyn's little imperial book hidden in when he was studying?" ===== CHAPTER 632 =====
