Chapter 781 223. Hand over Pluto

【small theater】

"You mean, Trazyn the Infinite has taken over at least hundreds of small dynasties and at least dozens of medium-sized dynasties?"

"You mean, not only did the Endless Trazyn do this, but its allies are also human aliens?"

"You mean to say that Trazyn's alien ally is not only a human, but also a C'tan freak cobbled together from the remains of a C'tan?"

The Silent King made a sharp explosion.

Probably because he was angry.

【Terra】

"Right there—right there! Three turns and another 27.9 degrees!"

On the observatory of the imperial palace, Hades was anxiously fine-tuning the giant observatory telescope with his hands. This extremely sophisticated instrument was now controlled by Pluto. If the court sage in charge of this place saw it, he would probably scream out loud - but the one standing here now was Pluto.

[I'm looking for——I saw it! I saw it!]

Pluto's "naked eyes" could find the Eye of Silence that was flickering badly in the starry sky, but Robert Guilliman was slightly inferior in this regard, so the Primarch had to bend over, close one eye, and observe a corner of the starry sky through the starglass.

Guilliman finally found the flickering star field in his sight. The moment his consciousness was placed on that star field, Guilliman felt some kind of psychic induction.

The feeling was extremely uncomfortable, and what made Guilliman feel strange was that an eerie sense of familiarity crept up his spine like a maggot on the tarsal bone, as if there was a being with the same psychic energy as himself in those flashing giant eyes.

Thousands of possibilities flashed through the mind of the Lord of the Empire, but after a moment of silence, Guilliman chose the one he was most confident of. Based on the various intelligence in the past few years, he deduced that:
[Chaos... What is the Black Legion doing? Has Khorne or Nurgle finally started to act? ]

Guilliman blinked, his blue eyes showing obvious alarm and confusion.

But this feeling...

【Tzeentch? 】

Gazing once again at the star that made him uncomfortable, Guilliman then stood up heavily. He looked at Hades seriously, and Hades also looked at him expressionlessly.

I think that

Guilliman spoke slowly,

[In this case, it is necessary to consult the Emperor. ]

“It’s a must,”

Hades received it.
"The Dark Cult garrison and naval patrol near the Eye of Silence have received orders to go out. The dispatch order has been sent down through Nirvana. Several garrisons in the Misty Star Region are now mobilizing."

Haddish paused, and looked back at the star field where he had "fallen".

"Hopefully it's just a false alarm,"

Hades smiled bitterly and said, "It was just a joke.
"Maybe it's the Necrons' Blackstone Obelisk causing trouble—"

The word just paused in the air. For Hades, time suddenly slowed down. The part of him that was a star god suddenly became restless, as if some tragedy was about to happen.

Hades' pupils suddenly dilated.

Behind the space they were in at this moment, in the thousands of overlapping and intertwined super-dimensional spaces, a clue appeared in the intersection of time, and Hades caught a glimpse of the passing metallic luster.

There was no time to think, action had already preceded his will, and in a time that was so slow that it almost stagnated, an electric dragon rose in front of Hades. At the same time, a liquid metal shield that flashed with super-dimensional space condensed from the void in stars.

Time moved a little on the long river of scale.

Guilliman, with his psychic intuition, seemed to have realized something as well. The confusion in the eyes of the Lord of the Empire had not yet been completely replaced by astonishment, but he was already looking in the right direction.

Passing through layers of space-time disguises, violent particles screamed from the muzzle of the super-dimensional cannon. The function of this one-time special weapon was the super-dimensional cube cage that imprisoned the Star God Death.

And now, the super-dimensional cube cage is twisting in an incredible posture. The star god Death inside is screaming in pain, and is being twisted into an energy particle beam by the cage that imprisoned it.

This will not kill the Star God of Death, it will break into smaller pieces, but the energy of the Star God at the moment of shattering is enough to shatter another incomplete Star God - and this type of attack is more effective against Star Gods.

The dark power of the Star God was stained with the particle beam, and the next moment - the moment it was discovered, the assassin's expressionless metal face reflected the crazy energy beam -

Buzz - boom! ! !

The violent energy rushed forward like a dragon, piercing straight into Hades—BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

A huge light illuminated the observatory. Looking from the outside of the palace, all the walls of the observatory suddenly collapsed outwards at that moment. The ground was in a mess and smoke and dust rose up. The observatory built on the top floor of the palace completely shattered and collapsed. With the power of the first wave of shock waves, it directly smashed through the three floors below it, and it still had a tendency to smash through downwards.

In just a few seconds, the tallest corner of the palace collapsed into ruins. Palace servants and visiting officials screamed, but the Custodes and Space Marines had already rushed to the scene of the attack.

The red light came on and the warning light buzzed.

“Cough! Cough cough cough cough!!”

The first imperial guard who was closest to the scene stepped onto the old site of the observatory. He stood on the only one foot of the original floor left and looked towards the collapsed hole.

Billowing smoke and dust rose from between those sophisticated instruments, and the azure arc of spiritual energy rose up, forming a perfectly fitting circle like a protective shield. The smoke and dust cleverly bypassed those spiritual energies.
Robert Guilliman, eyes wide open, gasping in shock, stood within the protective circle, one hand stretched out to form the protective layer, the other hand holding the sword, alert.

He kept turning his head to look around, still on guard against possible enemy attacks. The initial smoke from the explosion burned Guilliman's face, making the Lord of the Empire look quite embarrassed.

"..."

Behind Guilliman, the black liquid metal was "dying" after being pierced layer by layer. It slowly hung down from the air and turned into waste that could never be revived again.

"...fuck."

Hades cursed expressionlessly, holding the main attacker in one hand. The Necromancer was already "dead" and the active formatting program was activated the first moment it was discovered. There was a creaking sound between Hades' hands, and the remains of the Necromancer twisted in his hands.

Hades stretched out his other hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Hades took a deep breath and patted Guilliman.

"It's all right—they—"

He paused for a moment, as if to confirm, even though the thunder rising beside Hades had not stopped.

"They're gone."

【But we'd better not take any risks. 】

Guilliman said warily, his azure eyes moving around and finally looking in a certain direction.

Then, amid the gathering of guards, Roboute Guilliman took a few breaths, and then the Imperial Master spoke in his most authoritative tone:
[In the name of the King of the Human Empire, I request to speak with the Necrontyr Commander who initiated this attack, no matter what means -

I strongly protest to you. To assassinate any citizen of the human empire in this way is not in line with martial arts and morality. If there are still moral kings among the necrophiles, they should prohibit such behavior.

so--

Hades was about to persuade Guilliman to give up this matter, but the next moment, Hades' eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at a corner of the space - something came there.

Guilliman also felt the unusual spatial fluctuations. The Primarch looked up and saw the Necrons emerging from the void in the mysterious emerald green light.
"I am the Grand Justice."

Like a skinny monster, the Necron's ribs protruded and his eyes shone with a dazzling white light.

Guilliman heard the arcing around Hades behind him intensify.

"Noble Szalak, last and greatest of the Silent Lords, sent me as an extension of his noble will and sublime wisdom to answer your inquiries, Lord of the Empire Robouti Guilliman."

Then, the Grand Inquisitor of the Necrons glanced at Hades with a look of contempt, followed by an expression of extreme disgust.

The Necromancer covered his eyes anthropomorphically.

"You are not allowed to have civilized conversations with the Necrontyr, the Broken and Man-Made Monsters."

Hey, he has such a bad temper. A sneer climbed onto Pluto's face. He had already defended against the previous move - the current situation was obvious. The Necrons and the Human Empire had torn their faces apart. They were going to fight anyway, so why not do it now -

Guilliman turned his head to the side and showed a rational expression to Hades, who was surrounded by darkness.

Hades took a deep breath.

Anyway, this guy was summoned by Guilliman, so at least let Guilliman deal with him first.

Hades thought, and then he seemed to understand what Guilliman was thinking and worrying about.

[Hades is a citizen certified by the Human Empire.]

Guilliman said calmly,
[I don't understand why the Necrontyr would use such a sinister and unwarlike method.]

"The noble Szalak, the last and greatest of the Silent Kings, after observing the monster's life, decided that the moral constraints on weapons should be relaxed when dealing with such monsters."

[Can I simply understand that the Necrontyr intends to be the enemy of the Human Empire——in an immoral way. 】

The Necrontyr have extremely strict moral constraints on destructive weapons, which may be one of the reasons why the Necrontyr's strength has been greatly reduced.

Hades saw the Necron Grand Inquisitor pause for a moment, and then the Grand Inquisitor's voice became more majestic and unquestionable.

"No,"

The Necron said, it looked towards Guilliman.

"My next words will be broadcast to all citizens of the Empire of Man -

If the Human Empire does not want to be the enemy of the noble Szalak and finally the greatest Silent King, it should immediately hand over Pluto and stop conducting similar experiments. The great Silent King will forgive the past. Otherwise, the Necrontyr will launch an attack on the Human Empire. "

This is the will of the Silent King - the Necrontyr can destroy humans, but fighting the human empire will confuse it, especially with the Storm King watching covetously and Trazyn betraying him.

As long as humans hand over Pluto, an artificial star god, a creation that the Necrontyr would never tolerate, and the evil existence of the star god would never appear on the stage of the galaxy again, then the King of Silence would forgive humans.

After hearing these words, Hades first confirmed that he was not dreaming.

Then he almost laughed out loud.

At this moment, Hades completely understood the arrogance of a higher civilization and what it meant to laugh in anger. He had never seen anyone play like this before.

This is the arrogance of higher civilizations towards lower civilizations. They don't even bother to give their all and don't bother to show equal respect.

Now he didn't know what to say. Hades had never encountered anything that left him speechless.

And in front of him, the motionless Guilliman spoke,

【Then there is nothing to talk about,】

Guilliman said calmly that Hades admired Guilliman very much for being able to hold his ground in the face of such speechless words.

Then, Guilliman spoke in a casual tone.

[In the name of the Lord of the Empire, since both sides have decided to go to war, I hope that the battle will take place at the Eye of Silence—then Pluto will also go there.]

The Grand Justice stared at Roboute Guilliman, impressed by this human's understanding of Necrontyrdom's martial arts - the request was obviously acceptable.

Necrontyr fights in specific arenas.

At the same time, this is also what the Lord of Silence meant. The territory of the human empire is too large. If a war is started with it, unless weapons of mass extinction are used, it will be a bit troublesome even for the Lord of Silence, considering the size of the dynasties that are currently awake and obedient.

On the other hand, there is only one chance to assassinate a very high-level unit - the one that is most likely to succeed. An assassin who is proficient in this will go back in time infinitely with the cooperation of a time technician until he finds the opportunity that is most likely to succeed.

If this fails, then assassinations at other times will naturally fail as well, and there is no need to waste energy again.

"Noble Szahrak, the last and greatest of the Silent Lords grants your request, Guilliman of the Imperium."

【Then everything will be fine.】

Guilliman casually put away his sword and retracted his psychic shield, but his eyes were still fixed on the Grand Justice, the extension of the Silent King's will.

【But in the end I want to return the same courtesy. 】

The Primarch said calmly. Hades behind him blinked and saw that the Grand Judicial Officer floating in the air was cut in half in mid-air. The Primarch's sword was fast and sharp enough.

The psychic light extended along the crack to both ends, and the Primarch ensured that the Necromancer was "dead" and could not "die" again.

Guilliman smiled.

[Now I think there is one more person on the Silent King's list, which is just what I want. ]

He turned his head and looked at Hades. In fact, Guilliman was very nervous about Hades's move -

Just as Guilliman had chosen, the Human Empire cannot do without Pluto. The entire Mechanicus and most of the Empire's systems were built by the man in front of him.

The order given by the Silent King was almost a joke - Guilliman found it difficult to understand this behavior. Perhaps the Silent King had never had a deep understanding of the Human Empire at all.

But judging by its act of forcibly transforming an entire Necrontyr civilization into Necrons tens of millions of years ago, the Silent King was probably something they could not understand.

[Are you okay? The assassination just now...]

"I am fine."

Hades waved his hands and smiled bitterly, but the curve of his mouth was slightly happy.
"How should we prepare for the war next——"

He said, and the next moment, Hades' words were interrupted again. They both looked to the side in shock, and a huge, unstable warp rift opened, and then a Mortarion jumped out from it.

[Hades?! Where is that Necron?!]

The Grim Reaper, who was tightly grasping the scythe, was extremely furious and was almost shaking with anger. Mortarion, who had just been teleported by forceful psychic energy, ignored the dizziness and immediately began to search for nearby enemies after seeing that Hades was unharmed, using his scythe to uncover every corner where things might be hidden.

Finally, Mortarion, who failed to find the enemy, turned his head suddenly and stared at Guilliman, who was confused by his appearance.

[You... Robert Guilliman——]

Mortarion questioned in a low voice, looking Guilliman in the eye.

[Is this how you build the palace security system? ]

Hades coughed awkwardly, and then he received a text message from Trazyn -

Tara laughed and told Hades that she wanted to warn him, but Orikan stopped Tarasim and said it was unnecessary, because the Lord of Time and Fate already knew that Hades would not be hurt.

Of course, Orikan’s reasoning was that if they couldn’t even avoid assassination attempts, then they should not be allies of the two.

At the same time, Trazyn told Hades that the assassination had passed, and that there would only be one assassination of this high standard - because it was the only result of infinite time reversal.

Seeing that Mortarion started to argue with Guilliman, Hades simply replied to Trazyn.

Mortarion had not wanted to argue with Guilliman—

After questioning, he was going to ask about Hades's current situation, but Guilliman's words "I've never seen you so proactive and quick in reviewing documents" and "So you can reach Terra so quickly" controlled Mortarion.

This was a question, a distrust, and a provocation. The already angry Mortarion immediately started a debate with Guilliman about the security of Terra.

Soon after, Hades received other communications, including from the Primarch, the Mechanicus, Hades, and the Death Guard. Most of them contained words of comfort and inquiries, but among them, there was one message that stood out.

"Oh,"

Hades said, causing Guilliman and Mortarion to look at Hades at the same time.

"Nyos was also attacked because he was the 'initiator of the evil experiment' - but he is fine now, hugging Malcador and crying bitterly."
