The words were plain, but they contained a cruelty that chilled one's heart.
The fate of a dynasty was decided by just a few words.
An ancient dynasty that had lasted for billions of years would be destroyed by a young civilization that had existed for less than a fraction of the dynasty's history.
The ancient king who had been sleeping for tens of millions of years probably never thought that his end would be like this.
The Infinite One - Trazyn stood beside Ryan, silent.
From a narrow racist standpoint, what he did was tantamount to betrayal.
Trazyn showed no remorse.
After waking up and seeing his companions who had lost their minds, Trazyn knew that the Necrontyr had been shattered and existed in name only.
The Necrons are merely a recollection of past memories.
Many dynasties only exist as memory data of the past, without a future.
The true self had already been devoured by the Star God during the transformation of the biological body.
As a scholar, he chose to do what he liked.
Even if it means paying some price in dignity, he doesn't care.
Continuing to improve the museum is far more valuable than that pitiful dignity.
A museum that records all the historical events of the galaxy has always been Trazyn's dream.
Regardless of their race, he would give them a place in the museum.
He has been busy with this matter during the ten thousand years since he was awake.
Run around and use the dimensional maze to capture creatures.
Capture those historical moments.
This was Trazyn's only hobby.
For this hobby, he stole treasures from other dynasties many times.
Wage war against those races that are unwilling to provide him with precious samples.
He stole, cheated, burned, killed and looted, just to get those things he thought were worth remembering in history and expand his museum.
Tarazin also enthusiastically joined the Empire's attack on the Sotec Dynasty.
None of this was motivated by loyalty to the empire, nor by hatred of the Sotec dynasty.
He was simply attracted by the countless collections of the Sotk dynasty.
Before the biological transformation, the Sotk Dynasty was already the third-ranked dynasty among the Necrontyr race.
This dynasty has many things that will be remembered by history.
Trazyn felt that this trip would definitely be a fruitful one.
For the sake of those precious collections, showing weakness to humans is not something unbearable.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Ryan looked at Taraxin beside him and asked casually.
"Yimotek lives in the past, trapped by his past glory and dignity. He will not surrender. He will even resist to the last moment. But I believe that under the leadership of your great commander, victory will not be difficult. The fall of the Sotek Dynasty is a foregone conclusion, even if they master time technology." Taraxin's metal face showed a smile, and the adjusted voice system said in a flattering tone, "Under the gaze of the omniscient and omnipotent Holy Emperor, the Sotek Dynasty is like an ant, completely unaware of the power of the empire..."
Lai En smiled, then turned his attention back to the information window in front of him.
It can be seen that the lion does not care about what the Endless said.
The other side's military forces have been hollowed out, and the control agreements have been taken away by the Empire.
The warriors and ships were reprogrammed and no longer under Trazyn's control.
Even if it still has an indestructible active metal body.
There is no way it can pose any major threat to the empire.
Lai En naturally wouldn't set a trap on purpose.
Just a question.
The order to war was issued, and the empire's army began to operate like a sophisticated machine.
Large-scale fleets of warships are located at different coordinates.
A huge encirclement was formed around the Mandela galaxy.
As the order to start the war came, the silent warship restarted its thrusters.
A gorgeous plasma stream gushed out, creating a huge thrust that pushed the huge ship towards the Mandela galaxy.
The war between the two sides broke out on the outskirts of the Mandela galaxy.
As an existence that can compete with the Silent King for the position of supreme ruler, the Sotek Dynasty possesses considerable military power.
When the outer systems fell, the defenders of the Sotek Dynasty had already begun to strengthen the defenses of the Mandrake system.
They have deployed a large number of Gaussian beam silos, Doomsday Obelisks, Matrix Annihilators and other defensive firepower turrets in the outer space of the galaxy.
In addition, there are satellite-level pyramid fortresses.
They have turned the entire Mandela system into a deadly turtle shell.
By harnessing the energy of the vacuum rifts surrounding the Crown World, the Sotek Dynasty possesses nearly unlimited energy. If they fight a protracted war, they can last until the end of time.
In order to resist the Empire, the military leaders of the Sotek Dynasty also used the deadly radiation released by those vacuum rifts to amplify and refract the deadly radiation, forming a powerful harmful radiation in the Mandela galaxy.
These radiations will make nearby life weak, sick, and eventually die.
The radiation is so intense that it can be observed from dozens of light years away.
The brilliant radiant light can be seen with the naked eye.
The Sotec Dynasty also deployed a large number of obelisks to exorcise the dead.
Suppressed the subspace activities within a dozen light years around.
Even demons cannot enter this realm.
Individuals with souls and flesh and blood who enter this area will also become visibly weakened.
The Necrons are different from the hodgepodge of human empires.
They are more inclined to use energy-based Gauss weapons.
Gauss weapons are far more powerful than pulse beams and burst beams.
Once it hits its target, the Gaussian beam creates a pulsed magnetic field at the subatomic level, which peels away the atoms that make up the target.
For this reason, it was common to see dead Imperial soldiers turning into steam or a cloud of dust on the battlefield.
It is because their molecular structure is reorganized by the Gaussian beam.
Gaussian beams can easily strip away anything, even highly compressed neutron star materials and the strong interaction materials currently commonly used by the Empire.
Emerald green light shone in the void, and the Sotk Dynasty's defense system fired at full force to prevent the empire's invasion.
The void shields of the Imperial ships flickered, and each time they turned from dark to bright, they would transfer those Gaussian beams into the subspace and annihilate them with the strange properties of the aether.
The Empire also launched a counterattack.
The projectile field propelled the Titan-sized shells to ninety-nine percent of the speed of light and fired them into the Sotek Dynasty's defenses.
The cores of the shells are filled with antimatter bound by a magnetic field, and when they are hit, the magnetic field fails.
Matter and antimatter would collide, releasing the power and light of a newborn star, enough to destroy any protective shield.
Those towering obelisks and Gauss weapon platforms suspended in space were reduced to nothing in the explosion, broken down into the most basic atoms.
The resistance of the Sotec dynasty was extremely fierce.
However, the technology displayed by the empire made many commanders of the Sotec Dynasty despair.
An Imperial ship was destroyed in the intensive bombardment, its energy reactor exploded, and the hull drifted around.
After just a few seconds, the burning flames disappeared, and the flying hulls also disappeared without a trace.
The destroyed ship was restored to its original state.
At Guilliman's request, the Mechanicus had already mastered some temporal technologies.
In a laboratory setting, time can be looked back as far as three days.
After being transferred to the battleship, the time can be turned back twelve or sixteen hours.
The battleship's retrospection is not aimed at the background of the universe, but only at the original anchor object.
Similar to the reset function of a computer.
Set a node.
When a problem occurs, the node status can be restored to the set state.
This is the power of the retrospective device.
Give the Empire's warships a chance to start over.
In the past, the Empire would watch with despair as the Undead showed off their technology.
When the Necrons' ships encountered a war, were besieged by the Empire and were at a disadvantage.
They often use pocket dimension technology to escape from the battlefield.
Entering an unknown space, after repairs are completed, it reappears on the battlefield.
In the eyes of the Empire, this approach is a very rogue tactic.
The Undead always tease the Empire with this, calling the technologically backward Empire monkeys.
Now the positions of both sides have changed dramatically.
Many generals of the Sotec Dynasty tasted the helplessness and despair of ancient humans.
With the help of time-lapse technology, human warships can return to their state before destruction after being destroyed.
This way, even if the Necrons pay a heavy price in battle, the Empire can use this technology to emerge again unscathed.
As the chief prophet of the Sotek Dynasty, Orikan does not like the rule of the Storm King.
The previous French emperor, Sotk, unfortunately died in his slumber and never woke up.
The awakened crowned general, the Storm King, took over the ruling power and became the new French emperor, preventing the Sotek dynasty from falling apart.
Out of consideration for maintaining the unity of the Sotek Dynasty, Orikan chose to serve the Storm King and continue to fulfill his duties as the chief prophet of the dynasty.
Witnessing the powerful human offensive, Orikan was surrounded by despair simulated by the processor in his skull.
The large-scale application of time technology gives humans an absolute advantage.
When those magnificent ships are about to be destroyed, time will turn them back to their original state.
Such technical means are simply cheating.
Orikan couldn't imagine what kind of power could destroy this human army.
Humans today already possess technological means that are even more terrifying than those of the ancient saints.
Unless the dynasties can restore their former unity and get help from the star gods,
Only in this way can they have a chance of defeating the human empire.
Orikan seemed to hear the death knell of the Sotek Dynasty, which had lasted for billions of years.
Failure is inevitable.
Orikan possesses advanced time technology that allows him to travel into the past and change his destiny.
But what’s the use even if he travels back to the past
The all-out war between humans and the Undead broke out over a range of tens of thousands of light years.
One person's efforts are too insignificant.
In the face of the rolling wheel of time, it seems extremely insignificant.
Storm King Yinmotek remained silent.
He has extensive battlefield experience.
He naturally saw clearly the decline of the Sotk Dynasty.
Barring a miracle, his reign will soon be over.
Yin Motke's face was calm, without any ripples.
He had long since become indifferent to death.
He sat calmly on his throne, welcoming his final death.
If humans wanted him, the overlord, to kneel down to them like other dynasties, they were wishful thinking.
The Storm King will never kneel.
... ... ... .
Several huge black pyramid fortresses are suspended next to Sotk's crown world.
They orbit the Crown World like satellites.
Those pyramids are extremely old.
Judging from the traces of meteorite impact and freezing on them, the history of these pyramids is as old as the Sotec dynasty.
The pyramid is as big as a satellite, suspended in the void.
Like a loyal guard, protecting the crown world.
When the empire approaches, the pyramid releases a large number of fighter planes like a beehive to defend the crown world.
In order to achieve final victory, the Astral Knights and several other chapters launched a boarding battle against these pyramid fortresses.
A salvo of fire paralyzed the outer defenses of those majestic pyramids.
The powerful Primaris warriors used space teleportation to enter the fortress of the Sotek Dynasty.
Accompanied by flashes of teleportation, warriors wearing power armor etched with a golden double-headed eagle rushed towards the enemy with battle roars.
"For the great Emperor of the Empire." Lothar let out a deafening roar, and the other warriors did the same.
There is tremendous power contained in the roar.
Numerous warriors formed an unstoppable torrent, destroying all enemies along the way.
The team formed by Lothar and others cleared out the outer areas one by one and swept away the defensive forces composed of metal undead of the Sotk Dynasty.
Through the transparent outer tunnels, the warriors could see that the battle in the void was still raging.
The continuous explosions illuminated the dark and cold vacuum world.
Burning ships, blinding gas clouds, artillery shells and light beams firing back and forth.
The lights illuminated the battle between the boarding troops and the pyramid defense forces.
No matter where they are, the battle is equally fierce.
Necrons attacked the Imperial forces from all directions. Gauss beams continued to light up in the dim corridor, and emerald green light shone on the energy patterns.
The fighting in the confined space was bloody and cruel.
The team continued to disperse and rush towards different targets.
The rumbling explosions from the new bombs shook the metal corridors covered with electromagnetic patterns.
Considering that the enemies the empire faces are becoming increasingly powerful, the weapons used by the empire have been constantly upgraded.
The same is true for the bolters used by the Primaris.
Today's explosive bombs are not just made of high explosives.
There are different types for different enemies.
There are many types of bombs, including antimatter bombs, gravity field bombs, highly concentrated nuclear bombs, and holy bombs blessed by the state religion.
The Primaris warriors continue to maintain the image of extreme violence.
Antimatter bombs were used in the attack on the Sotek Dynasty.
In addition to the original propellant powder part, this type of bomb uses a completely new warhead.
The casing of the bullet is made of brass as always.
There is no gunpowder inside, and the bullet is completely vacuum.
The warhead has a small but powerful magnetic confinement field.
This force field holds the nearly invisible milligrams of antimatter particles in the center of the vacuum warhead, preventing it from coming into contact with the outer shell.
Once the antimatter particles come into contact with the outer shell, an annihilation explosion of matter and antimatter will occur.
Such an annihilation explosion is enough to tear apart the solid active metal body of the Undead, and is very effective against the Undead.
The pyramid was soon filled with sounds of destruction and death.
The active metal shell was shattered, and scarabs were everywhere, emitting electric sparks. The undead warriors turned into fragments, and huge metal structures were paralyzed in the corridor, making a crackling sound of electricity.
The fallen metal bodies and the dead were piled together.
The Undead generals in charge of the defense soon fell into despair.
The Empire's warriors rushed into every important hub and shut it down.
With the help of star gods and traitors, humans have mastered the weaknesses of various military facilities of the dynasty.
Try as they might, they could not hold on to the pyramid.
They could only watch as one area after another fell, until humans eventually took control of the entire pyramid.
The high-ranking officials of the Sotek Dynasty watched all this.
They fell into despair, destruction was approaching little by little, but they could do nothing.
They witnessed the pyramid fortresses in the void fall one after another.
It's like a crab's legs being peeled off one by one, leaving only a bare body, ready to be slaughtered.
The symbol representing the fleet continued to dim.
The data processor's alarm never stopped.
It took some time to completely destroy the Sotek Dynasty's void defenses.
Mainly because it is too large.
A pyramid fortress is as huge as a satellite, and it takes a lot of time just to travel there.
The fall of the fortress created a gap in the Undead's space defense system.
This gap was quickly enlarged by the Empire until it tore through the entire defense system.
The defending ships were either disabled or destroyed.
The sky was filled with burning debris, shining like stars.
The Empire gained air supremacy from the Sotec Dynasty.
When the flames of war died down into silence, all that remained fell into darkness.
Densely packed warships were suspended in the planet's low-Earth orbit.
The Storm King sees everything in the sky through an observation matrix set up around the world.
Many high-ranking officials of the dynasty stood beside him, waiting for the final judgment of fate.
"They won." A high-ranking official of the dynasty said, "The void defense system has been declared completely destroyed. My suggestion is to give up resistance. At least for the continuation of the Sotek Dynasty, even if you lose everything, at least you can leave seeds for the future."
"Seeds?" Crowned General Zandrick said in a slightly ridiculous and sarcastic tone: "Are you kidding me?"
"We have failed." The high-ranking official of the dynasty said, "Do you think we can stop those humans with our surface defenses? We are isolated and helpless. If we continue, we will die. Save your useful bodies and try again in the future."
Zandrek laughed. "Do you think humans will give us this opportunity? Do you think surrendering means we will be sent back to the tomb world? Humans are not the ancient saints, and they are not so kind. We are no longer the fear of death in the past. After the transformation of our bodies, we no longer have the ability to reproduce."
Orikan stood aside and said nothing.
Zandrick, who usually looks like he has dementia, is right.
How could humans give them a chance to make a comeback
Once you surrender, the empire will definitely take various restrictive measures.
Necrons can no longer reproduce.
Even if I survived, what would it matter
Just lingering on in humiliation.
A group of top leaders wanted to resist to the last moment and calmly face the death of the dynasty and themselves.
The other group believes that as long as you survive, there are other possibilities.
It is not unacceptable to bow down to humans.
Orikan couldn't tell who was right or wrong.
Both have their own considerations.
Some things cannot be simply attributed to fear of death.
Sometimes, it takes more courage to live than to choose death.
He looked at the Storm King on the throne, waiting for his final decision.
"We have no chance." Looking at the dispute between the two factions, Yin Motke said: "Humans are far more cunning and cruel than the ancient saints. Even if we choose to surrender, they will guard us tightly and use us as expendable troops."
"I understand what some of you think. You think that since we turned to the Star Gods in exchange for victory in the battle against the Old Ones, why can't we turn to humans now and betray the Empire again when the time is right."
"But do you think that's realistic? The human empire has the help of the Star Gods. I don't know what kind of agreement the two have reached, but I know that the Star Gods will never let us grow stronger again. I don't want to deprive you of your right to choose. If you are willing to defend the honor of the Sotek Dynasty, you can choose to stay. If you choose to surrender, you can leave now."
Yin Motke's words silenced the surrender faction.
However, after a moment, the two senior executives turned around and walked out.
The other senior executives hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.
The fear of death is not unique to humans. Creatures of every race have an instinctive fear of complete extinction.
These high-ups have lived for a long time, from the distant War in Heaven to the present.
The long life makes them feel boring and uninteresting.
But when faced with real death, they still feel fear.
Yin Motek had a blank expression on his face and didn't care about those guys leaving.
Under other circumstances, he would have executed those guys without hesitation to let them know the consequences of betrayal.
This time is different.
Humanity's victory is already determined.
Even if the Silent King brought other dynasties to the rescue, the Sotec Dynasty was doomed to fall.
Choosing to live or to die is a personal choice.
Orikan hesitated for a moment, but chose to turn around and leave.
He still has his own things to do.
It would be somewhat unwilling to die here.
He has been conducting research on reversing biological transformation.
There are already some signs of progress now.
If he died here, there would really be no hope for the Undead.
... ... ... ... ... ..
Yin Motke and a group of generals eager to defend the Sotke Dynasty chose to resist to the end.
They launched their final defense, fighting one last desperate battle.
Millions of metal undead were activated.
They walked out from underground in neat steps, dim green ghost lights flickering in their eyes.
Countless turrets, doomsday obelisks, and giant war vehicles were all activated.
When humans tried to land, dense beams of light filled the entire sky, interweaving into a deadly trap.
But even so, the Sotec Dynasty was defeated and fell to its knees.
The empire's commanders patiently peeled off the shell of the Sotec dynasty, revealing the fragility within.
Then, there was a simple and powerful attack.
A Primaris squad, led by Ryan, penetrated the heart of the Sotek Dynasty.
They knocked down the Emperor's Guards, which were more sophisticated than ordinary metal undead, and walked into the metal hall where the Storm King Yinmotek and many high-ranking officials of the Sotek Dynasty were.
With the fall of the last guard, the resistance of the Sotk dynasty was declared over.
The Sotek dynasty holds several fragments of the Star God.
But these fragments cannot change the situation of the battle.
The French emperor of the Norwalk dynasty once did that, but was eventually easily taken away by the empire.
Yin Motek watched as the human warriors slaughtered his men.
The commander of mankind, one of the most honorable Primarch-level figures in the Empire, Ryan walked towards him step by step along the stairs.
The heavy armored boots collided with the metal steps, making a crisp sound.
"I have brought the final judgment. As you wish, I will step over your dead body." Ryan did not deliberately speak loudly, but his voice was still full of majesty, rumbling in the air.
Yin Motke's expression did not change as he stared at the other person.
The other person possessed the surging vitality that he had given up in the Battle of Heaven.
This made him a little jealous, because everything humans had was something the Necrontyr never had.
The Sotk Dynasty is just the cold metal that carries the past.
Human beings have an infinite future.
"Yes, you succeeded." Yin Motek said calmly: "The galaxy belongs to you, and humans will be the new overlords of the galaxy."
"You are wrong." Ryan patiently pointed out the mistake in the other party's words, "Humans will be the overlords of the universe."
This correction caused Yin Motek to fall into even longer silence.
But Ryan was very patient and he was not in a hurry to deal with the other party.
"Your arrogance is truly astonishing. A race that has only been in the starry sky for tens of thousands of years is trying to control the entire universe." Yin Motek said, staring at Lai En.
"Arrogance is also supported by enough power. You could have survived, but unfortunately you made the wrong choice." Lai En drew out his sword, and the leaping arc of electricity flashed in the air, crackling.
"I have lived long enough, and I am not interested in witnessing the arrogance of a race. You may succeed, or you may fail, but what's the point? Maybe your future will be the same as ours, lasting for a long time before being destroyed by a more powerful civilization with more potential."
"We once thought that we could survive forever after defeating the Old Saints and the Star Gods, but then the Eldar rose up again, and then you. This universe will never lack challengers. The old and the new will always be replaced. It will always be like this."
Lai En waited for him to finish before speaking.
"Your words are very philosophical, but it's a pity that you are destined not to see the day when human civilization is replaced and destroyed. Now, you have a choice, to be killed by me directly, or to take out your weapons and choose the final battle."
Yin Motek chose the latter and activated the phase weapon he was using.
The final outcome did not change at all.
After the sound of weapons colliding, Yin Motek's head rolled from the platform and rolled down the steps one by one.
The headless metal body fell to the ground, and some coolant flowed out.
"There is one last one." The lion retracted his weapon and stood on the high platform overlooking the hall controlled by humans.
The Sotec Dynasty was destroyed.
Now, only the Silent King remains among the Necrons.
After getting rid of them, the threat of the Undead can be said to have been largely resolved.
This was not a difficult task after such a long period of frontal attrition and raids.
The military force controlled by the Silent King was also greatly weakened. Many high-ranking military officers were killed by raiding teams, and a large number of troops were dispersed by the Empire.
Only after weakening the Undead to a certain extent did Ryan choose to take action against the Storm King.
Even if the Silent King unified the many dynasties of the Space Undead without any competitors, it would be of no avail.
The Undeads were weakened too much, and a large number of them surrendered and were controlled by King Sotai.
Even if the Silent King unified the country, he would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot when facing the army of the empire and would be easily crushed to death.
Lai En was thinking about how to completely resolve this long-lasting war.
... ... ... .
... ... ... ... ... ...
Mordor Galaxy.
This is the Empire’s military restricted area, and its defense level is second only to Terra.
Only with permission from Terra can one enter.
The Men in Black organization has been active on various planets, choosing various identities to become the eyes and ears of the emperor of the empire, assisting him in ruling the vast territory.
As the empire expands into the alien universe, some evil-minded beings want to use the alien universe to develop their careers.
They infiltrated the Empire's alien universe projects, and took advantage of the fact that the roads connecting the alien universes were located deep in the subspace. They stuffed those corrupted individuals into exploration teams without anyone knowing, and sent them to different universes to spread those heresies.
With the vigorous development of alien universe development projects, the work of counter-infiltration and anti-cult espionage against humans in other universes has become imminent and has been put on the agenda by many high-ranking officials of the empire.
Quinbis walked down from the transport ship and followed the crowd towards the huge tunnel entrance.
