The sadness and despair, anger and entanglement, roaring and tearing in the distance cannot be heard here.
Hades took a sip of Coke, and the ice cubes fell back to the bottom of the cup with a crisp sound as he put the cup down.
Hades looked down and saw that he had finished drinking.
"Can I have a refill?"
Trazyn rested his chin on one hand, stretched out the other, and snapped his fingers. In an instant, Hades' cup was full again.
Hades sighed for a moment, thinking that the necromancy technology was so shocking, and then continued to drink his Coke without any burden.
God knows if he will be able to drink something so heartwarming in the future.
Seeing that Hades is in no hurry, neither is Tarasim, for its time is endless.
Hades thought for a moment and spoke.
"So, you want to collect me in the future?"
"Correct answer,"
Trazyn slowly filled his own glass.
If you collect Hades now, there will probably be only two results.
The first result is that the Emperor has no time to take care of this, and Trazyn obtains a rare figurine of the Outsider; or the second result is that the Emperor decides to beat it up.
But the probability is two.
For Trazyn, this was not what it wanted.
Hades now is far from the moment when it has the highest collection value, but when Hades really grows to that level, it will not be something that Tarasim can interfere with.
Although Tarazin is the overlord of the Solemnas Dynasty, and his dynasty is not a bit wealthy, Tarazin is still positioned as a "powerful figure" among the undead.
Yes, they are not the “top guys”, their real master is the King of Silence.
Trazyn glanced absently at the teacup, where the leaves rose and fell in the water.
The Emperor was still too bold, too adventurous, and too radical.
He had no idea what he was doing. Perhaps Hades was just one of his thousands of backup plans, but this one plan was enough to destroy humans, the Eldar, the Warp, and all things with souls.
If Hades eventually grows to the point where the psychic energy of the Warp cannot be suppressed, then in the entire galaxy, only the soulless Necrons will be the final winners.
If other people like Trazyn saw soulless beings like Hades, they would probably be very happy.
But Trazyn knew that couldn't happen.
The Necrons have abandoned their souls in the lies of the Star God. In the long and deep history, they have existed meaninglessly, abandoning death and being abandoned by life.
Until now, a considerable number of Necrons are still trying to retrieve their souls.
Another part of Trazyn knew that the long years had worn away their rationality, and it was difficult to determine whether they were still the same as they once were.
If they encounter Hades, they will do their best to expand and tear the hole in the subspace.
With the technology of the Necrons, if they really did this, it would probably be enough to make all creatures with souls tremble.
Trazyn drummed her fingers unconsciously on the table.
This can't be done, the Necrons need souls, and a plan that destroys everything will also destroy their future.
They have already destroyed their own souls and races. This kind of thing cannot happen a second time.
But the subspace is also expanding, and in the foreseeable future, the barrier between the subspace and the real world will become thinner and thinner.
They need something that effectively isolates them from the Warp.
Although the Necrons' black stone creations can isolate the Warp, if operated properly, they will actually amplify the power of the Warp.
And we can eradicate the subspace from its source and eliminate the existence of the subspace's influence—
Trazyn looked at Hades, who was still guzzling his Coke.
"The brain I modified for you will prevent other undead spirits from recognizing you."
Hades' hand holding the cup suddenly stopped.
ah
Hades began to think about the physique that Trazyn had just told him. Hmm. It seemed that he really shouldn't be captured by the Necrons. He felt that he would be made into a weapon against the warp.
Hades thought about it.
"You don't want me to be discovered by the Necrons who wish to destroy the Warp?"
Trazyn nodded silently.
"It's my own selfish desire."
Trazyn hopes to preserve Hades in its heyday, so that no one can find Trazyn and its collection.
Whether it is the Necrons or humans, Trazyn still recognizes his hidden abilities.
But those creatures of the Warp knew that Trazyn would hold a weapon in his hands that could destroy them all.
If the Warp crosses the line Trazyn has drawn for them, then...
Trazyn took another slow sip of her tea.
This is what Trazyn is planning, but there is a high probability that Hades will become an important figure in the Empire by then. The Emperor and his follower Malcador will keep a close eye on Hades, and Trazyn will have no chance to take action.
So it came early.
As for how Trazyn discovered Hades
The Necrons are not like the Terrans or the Eldar, who have methods of detecting outsiders, so for Trazyn, finding an outsider is a matter of luck.
But this outsider took the initiative to contact the undead.
Don't blame Trazyn then.
In fact, it was Trazyn who activated the time weapon after receiving this information and anchored the fact that "the Wenmas undead must wake up."
And Trazyn waited patiently until the very last moment, the moment when Hades was on the verge of death.
All of this is to ensure that it can "collect" Hades in his heyday.
Humanity and the Eldar have invested, and it must follow suit.
Tarazim was filled with emotion, thinking that the emperor on the other side was really lucky that his son could bring a powerful outsider to the empire.
Now this outsider probably can't be pulled onto the Necrons' ship. It can't ask Hades to work two days a week, two hours a day, or some slave treaty or something like that.
Of course, Trazyn does not represent the Necrons, because it knows that if the Necrons know about the outsiders.
The good news is that these sleepy overlords are slow to react and are keen on infighting within the dynasty. Unlike it, they will not turn their attention to alien races such as humans.
Hades blinked, and he suddenly felt that the temperature on the opposite side of the Figure King had dropped, and an atmosphere similar to a conspiracy theory began to spread.
Well. It is currently known that Hades himself is very dangerous, but has no effect on the Necrons. At the same time, Trazyn does not want to come into contact with other Necrons, and the reason is most likely that Hades will be made into a weapon by other Necrons.
They are all undead, so how come you, Taraxin, are so untainted
Hades hesitated for a moment.
"You also wish to turn me into a weapon."
He went straight to the point, and Trazyn nodded approvingly.
"It is, but it is not."
"Do you know what you'll face in the end, Hades?"
"Death."
Hades shrugged.
Trazyn stared at him.
"Yes, death, and it is the death bestowed upon you by the Empire."
"If left alone, you will one day grow to a point where even the emperor will have trouble suppressing you."
"And when you grow to a certain point, you won't be able to suppress your own anti-psychic domain."
"Even the untouchables of humanity cannot touch you because they are too pure."
"You will devour everything and become the true king of the underworld, Hades."
Then Trazyn sipped his tea,
"Your human Emperor will not let this happen."
"He will kill you after he has used you."
"Either I'll stab you in the back or I'll send you to a battlefield where you'll die."
"As long as your body dies, the warp hole you created will automatically disappear."
Hades was not surprised to hear what Trazyn said. He scratched his chin.
Don’t you think this is cool? This fits the image of the emperor in his mind. If the emperor doesn’t make a fortune, he won’t be like the golden skeleton in later generations.
If he would not bring any benefit to mankind, the Emperor would have nothing better to do than to come looking for him.
"Then there's nothing I can do. If I really end up being an uncontrollable void, then I think there's really no point in continuing to live."
He will be alone by then, which would be no different from death.
Besides, pursuing immortality in this debate universe
Hades got goosebumps.
It would be better for him to volunteer to go to the battlefield where he will die.
Death was already common on Barbarus, and in war, death was even more commonplace, and Hades had long since accepted it.
From heading alone to the lord's territory to leading the charge, death is everywhere, perhaps a whistling bullet or a falling blade.
Death is just an inevitable process of life. If death can make life more valuable, why not
Moreover, with the intensity of the battlefield, Hades felt that he might not live to see the day when he became awesome.
“I don’t think I need to avoid death.”
Hades took another sip of his Coke.
"If my existence really threatens humanity, I will consciously find a place to die."
Hades suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right. Trazyn was staring at him blankly. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Well"
Hades shrugged.
"What else can I do then?"
Oh yeah, maybe he could quietly sail out of the galaxy and find a corner to paint a little man.
Yeah. But it seems that the machine soul also hates him.
However, Taraxin, who was opposite Hades, stopped talking. The Necron transformed from a Necron was in a daze.
It is because of their disgust with their own short lives and their pursuit of eternal life that they have reached such a point.
They have rejected death, and therefore life has rejected them.
But now, a flesh-and-blood creature casually said "you can die" in front of Trazyn.
Trazyn spoke slowly.
"I thought you were very sensitive to betrayal and death. But now I realize I was wrong."
"Your attitude towards life and death astonishes me."
Yes, eternal life, but what can you do
Aren’t the Necrons the best example
Trazyn thought,
Hades winked.
“Maybe sometimes, it’s better to die than to live.”
Bad memories came back to him, and he thought back to his previous full year as 007 on Death Watch.
Trazyn was silent for a long time. But it suddenly realized that it was wrong! It came to persuade Hades, not to be persuaded by Hades!
Trazyn took another gulp of tea and hurried on with what he had been about to say.
"But what if I have the technology to save you? As long as I have it, your anti-psychic field can be contained."
"That way you can avoid dying."
Compared to the Emperor's strong flying bricks and direct use of psychic energy to plug the holes in the warp, Trazyn has extremely advanced necromancy technology.
Hades stared at Trazyn.
"Then I will be trapped in a stasis field, which is no different from death, right?"
Trazyn spoke.
"But your presence will intimidate creatures from other subspaces."
Sure enough, Hades thought,
The nuclear bomb turned out to be me.
"Then why don't I just let the humans take care of me?"
"Because the Empire doesn't have the technology, they can't do it."
Trazyn said firmly,
"Then if you keep me, what if you use me against humans someday?"
"If you promise you'll come to me, I'll promise I won't."
"In the name of the House of Solemnness."
Trazyn said solemnly.
Hades was thinking. He stared at the rising and falling ice cubes in the cup and fell into deep thought.
After chatting for so long, Trazyn finally told him his intention. It was very likely that this was the ultimate purpose of the Figure King coming to find him.
But this is really not right, to hand yourself over to aliens
No, no, no, even for Trazyn, this just doesn't feel right.
But as it stands now, if Hades doesn't agree, he will be boxed now.
Hades pondered for a moment. So for him, the best solution at the moment is to pretend to bargain with the King of Figures to dispel his doubts, and then wait for the other party to let him go, and then ask the Emperor? Or wait until the information is sufficient, and then unilaterally tear up the deal with Trazyn.
By the way, will the half brain that Trazyn gave him monitor his thoughts
Hades tried to curse Trazyn and the Necrons in his mind, and greeted the four vendors.
He looked across and saw that Trazyn didn't react. Oh, probably he was fine.
"So what do you give me?"
Hades spoke,
Trazyn was happy and had something to talk about.
"I can give you some technology about the Necrons' Black Stone creations, but these are also fragmentary. However, you can piece them together with your own knowledge."
Hades tilted his head and said, "Just like that, are you sending away beggars?"
"not enough."
"I will also protect you from other Necrons and make sure you are not discovered."
Hades took a sip of Coke.
"That's what you should do."
"You won't give us some other technology, weapons, resources or something?"
Trazyn stared at the damned, greedy guy.
"Never mind that your Adeptus Mechanicus will interrogate you if you use too much Necron technology."
"The Necron dynasties will take notice of you, and I won't be able to protect you then."
Hades thought about it and said, fuck, that’s true.
So what can you give me
Hades stood up, and after realizing that Trazyn needed his help and couldn't do anything to him, Hades said righteously,
"You gave too little. You are trying to get something for nothing. I condemn your behavior."
Trazyn also began to rebuke Hades,
"If it weren't for me, you would have died on Wenmars. Don't forget that I was the one who repaired half of your head."
"I even pushed those undead spirits back for you!"
Hades thought, ah, yes
No, at a time like this, even if it’s not right, you still have to be angry!
"I can even shock the warp by then, and you only give me this little thing? I remember your dynasty was quite rich, wasn't it?"
"If I don't give you this chance, you will be killed by your emperor sooner or later. I provide you with high-quality accommodation, but you are still picky?"
"Are you offering me accommodation? You are just taking advantage of me!"
"If I could get another outsider, would I care about you? You still smell like a Star God. Do you think the Necrons like this?"
"This is added value, added value! What do you know?"
“Where is the added value?”
After a fierce argument and bargaining, both sides finally took a step back. Trazyn provided Hades with some Black Stone technology and two Necrons engines, and "allowed" Hades to collect Necrons weapons on Wenmas, but on the premise that these weapons could not be used on a large scale unless necessary.
By the way, Hades can steal a weapon from the King of Figures’ arsenal later.
And Trazyn promised that if Hades was on the verge of death next time and the intensity of his desire to be untouchable was satisfied, he would "collect" Hades.
Hades curled his lips. Such a big Undead Dynasty was really stingy.
But it doesn't matter, he will run away.
The worst that could happen is that he would break the contract when the King of Figures came to him at the last moment. The worst outcome would be death.
Hades thought about his own plans and took another sip of Coke.
Trazyn stared at Hades. This guy was probably thinking about how to break the contract. Indeed, for Trazyn, the final reward of this deal was not easy to get.
So it doesn't give Hades anything good. Rather than a reward, this is more like a deposit that Trazyn gave to Hades.
When Hades is finally caught, it would not be impossible to give more things to humans.
We’ll talk about it later.
There will be another update in the evening, but it will probably be late, so wait for me to code it.
Happy reading ('ω')
