The Dumbfounded Necron Overlord

The Sautekh Dynasty was an extremely ancient dynasty.

Before the Necrontyr even began their war with the Old Ones, they had already roamed the Milky Way and were quite famous.

They are masters of the art of time and are obsessed with it.

When the Necrontyr and the Old Ones went to war, they actively responded to the call of the Triarch and participated in the War in Heaven.

However, this act of loyalty was not rewarded, but instead met with fear and suspicion.

After the Old Ones were defeated and the C'tan fell, the War in Heaven came to an end.

The Sautekh Dynasty was judged by a coalition of many Necron Dynasty.

The verdict is a permanent seal, a slow demise in despair, which is tantamount to another form of death penalty.

Silent King Szarekh, head of the Triarch, carried out the judgment and personally sealed away the Sautekh Dynasty.

In order to seek a glimmer of hope for their dynasty,

Phaerakh Setka of the dynasty had his most trusted advisor, the Chronomancer Osol Cohen, impersonate him.

In this way, Setka fooled the Overseer, using a deceptive tactic to escape.

Time flies, and sixty million years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Ahriman, who coveted time technology and wanted to use it to reverse the side effects of the Rubric Sorcery,

On a ship of a warship called the 'Iron Body'

They found the sleeping Setka and obtained the time-traveling artifact— the Infinity Key.

During this period, Setka misled Ahriman.

To unleash the full power of the Infinity Key,

Reverse time and save your brother who has become Rubric Marines.

We must then travel to the sleeping land of the Haksos Dynasty.

Ahriman believed what the other party said.

After obtaining information about the Ynnead in Commorragh, he set off for the Haksos Dynasty.

Setka was not fooling Ahriman.

At its peak, the Infinity Key possesses the power to reverse time.

It can bring things from the past back to life.

But he didn't tell him that what was being recreated was not the Thousand Sons, but the Haksos Dynasty.

The prolonged imprisonment without energy replenishment ultimately led to the demise of the Haksos Dynasty in the long river of time.

But the Infinity Key reversed time, bringing back the extinct Haksos Dynasty.

Ahriman then realized he had been tricked, but he still managed to steal the Infinity Key using his powerful psychic abilities.

Setka sent the Necron Overlord Kobuessa to hunt down Ahriman, intending to punish the mortal and reclaim the Infinity Key.

If he obtains the Infinity Key, he will be able to use the power of time to rule the entire Milky Way.

Incidentally, try to reverse their Necron and turn them back to their original forms.

Using advanced Necron Technology, Kobuessa tracked down Ahriman and eventually arrived in the Solomon System.

The human fleet blocked his way here.

At the bridge of the Eternal Overlord, the flagship of the Necron Overlord.

Kobuessa looked out the observation window at the Void battlefield.

The flashes of the explosion flickered in his soulless eyes.

"I was surprised by the stupidity and tenacity of these weak creatures."

Human warships are large and cumbersome, with no advantages other than firepower and shields.

They were no match for the dynasty's fleet.

Before long, the human fleet will be defeated and completely destroyed.

"According to calculations, our frigate will be subjected to a concentrated barrage of fire in 3 minutes and 30 seconds. The frigate's hull is simply unable to withstand such saturation damage."

The Necron commander beside him spoke up, "Overlord, should we change our strategy?"

Kobuessa shook his head. "No need. Be prepared for time reversal. We'll show these poor creatures what true power is."

"Understood." The Necron commander nodded.

Kobuessa turned her gaze to the other side of the Void.

They saw human fighter jets flying in from the other side, intending to attack the left flank of the Eternal Overlord.

The design of the Eternal Overlord is similar to that of the Tomb-class Battleship.

It is wider than it is long, and has a flat crescent shape.

The armor is thickest at the widest part of the hull.

The black hull was decorated with green Necron symbols that emitted a glow.

It was very bright and conspicuous in the Void.

The highest point of the building at the stern of the ship is the throne, the exclusive domain of the Necron Overlord.

The command bridge is located at the front, where Chronomancer and commanders discuss how to fight.

The Eternal Overlord is equipped with astonishing firepower:

Tombstone —a perceptible mental fluctuation that can plunge enemies into fear and drive them to madness.

Star Pulse Generator – capable of unleashing terrifying pulse energy that can destroy all enemy ships within its force field.

Arc Generator – Once activated, it uses stored solar energy to release an arc of destructive power.

This weapon can cover all attack surfaces except the rear, making it a weapon of mass destruction.

Particle Whip – a common Necron weapon that operates by projecting magnetic fields through electric arcs, like a bright whip lashing out at hostile targets.

Portal – Allows the deployment of Necrons and Canoptek Scarab Swarm into enemy warships.

In addition to these, the Eternal Overlord is also equipped with a mysterious time weapon.

This weapon, capable of reversing time, is key to the invincibility of the Necron fleet led by Kobuessa.

"Trying to launch a sneak attack? What an incredibly foolish tactic!"

A human-like, mocking smile appeared on Kobuessa's metallic face.

"Release our killers, and let those humans know what despair is."

Under the will of the space superpower,

Six Night Scythe were released.

They teleported out of thin air to the back and above human fighter jets and launched an attack.

A dazzling, Lightning Whip lashed through the Void, striking the fuselage of the human fighter jet.

They were turned into burning Void remnants.

Several human fighter jets quickly adjusted their direction, turned around and engaged in dogfight with the scythe-shaped flying machines, buying time for their allies.

The remaining fighter jets continued flying towards the Eternal Overlord.

Kobuessa watched this scene calmly, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

Under his gaze, the human fighter jets had just approached the Eternal Overlord.

Dense Lightning Arc Pylon spread out from the concave area like flowers.

Then a barrage of thunder was unleashed.

In a mere instant, all those human-made warplanes were destroyed.

The lightning dissipated, and the wreckage burned in the Void, illuminating the dark sky.

"Vulnerable." Kobuessa commented coldly and casually.

"Damn it."

Commander Tarken sat on the command throne.

Through holographic projection and optical sensors

He also paid attention to the flight squadron's failure.

This infuriated him, and he began pounding on his chair to vent his anger.

He was a member of the Calixis Fleet, holding the rank of vice admiral.

Leading the Imperial Fleet, spearheaded by the Glory of Terra Strike Cruiser.

Ordered to come to the Solomon System to resist the Necrons fleet.

Upon discovering the Necron fleet's invasion, he immediately organized a counterattack.

However, the gap in strength between the two sides is simply too great.

Despite giving it our all, we see no hope of victory.

"Share the status of the firing units and artillery on the battlefield with me, immediately."

Suppressing his anger, Tarken gave orders to the officer beside him.

After the deputy beside him finished relaying the order,

The people on the bridge immediately got to work.

A large amount of data was updated, and the charts floated in front of Tarken.

"Fifty-six percent of the Melta Torpedo are ready for preheating, Commander!" the artillery chief shouted.

"Very good, even if we die, we'll take as many people down with us."

"Lock onto the enemy ship and let them experience the power of Melta Torpedo."

Tarken grinned maniacally.

Sacrifice may not bring victory, but it can weaken the enemy's advantage and create opportunities for follow-up troops.

The artillery commander relayed the commander's orders to the gun deck.

Soon, the swarm of torpedoes, trailing plumes of flame, flew toward the nearest target.

"Torpedoes have been launched, commander," the artillery chief reported.

"Upload the image."

The imaging device in front of the arc-shaped command platform started working, displaying the vast Void and the warships of both sides.

The torpedoes hurtling towards the enemy ship displayed bright trails on the screen.

Ultimately, they successfully hit their targets.

First Company of explosions engulfed the Necron warship, causing it to slowly disintegrate in the Void.

However,

A scene that Tarken and the other Imperium commanders never expected unfolded.

The largest Necron warship emitted a beam of light.

The enemy ship, which was breaking apart, seemed to have been subjected to a magical spell.

It quickly returned to its original state.

What's going on?

Tarken stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"The enemy seems to have used some kind of special time technology to reset the warship to its state before it was destroyed."

The Magos accompanying the ship was also extremely shocked.

If he hadn't detected the unusual fluctuations, he wouldn't have believed that the other party was using time technology.

How could these Xenos possess such advanced technology?

The Magos's words plunged the officers on the bridge into despair.

The enemy's technology was beyond their comprehension.

"We have no chance of victory," Tarken said with a resolute look of despair. "It seems that today, we must face our deaths."

"In the name of the Emperor, gentlemen, we will uphold our duties and..."

Before Tarken could finish his vow to fight to the death, the Auspex interrupted him.

"Commander, the Auspex have increased significantly. A ship is currently navigating in Warp and is about to enter the Realspace."

"Warp?" Tarken, who was prepared to die to fulfill his oath of loyalty, showed surprise. "Can you determine which faction it belongs to?"

Before the Auspex manager could speak,

Like a sharp blade cutting through, a gap suddenly appeared in the physical universe.

A loud hymn rang out over the communication channel.

Songs praising the Emperor resounded on every ship.

The Light of Paradox burst forth from the crack, brighter and more dazzling than a hundred suns.

Under the watchful eyes of both sides in the conflict,

A magnificent, colossal ship burst forth from the crack.

Its bow is a huge golden Double-Headed Eagle, and its hull is inlaid with a huge city composed of statues and temples.

Behind it followed a large number of ships.

As soon as they entered the battlefield, before the flames on their shields had even died down, they launched an attack without hesitation.

One after another, scorching Lance pierced through the Void.

Countless shells, torpedoes, and missiles traced deadly trajectories in space.

The first few Necrons ships to be hit were blasted into pieces.

"The wrath of the God-Emperor has arrived; let those bastards pay the price."

"With our faith, the Emperor's Light will surely shine upon our loyal soldiers."

"In our duty, Milky Way galaxy will eventually submit to humanity."

A holy and majestic voice rang out.

It gave courage to the Imperial Navy, which was mired in despair.

"He is Living Saint."

The Ecclesiarchy Priests who accompanied the army were the first to recognize the owner of the voice.

Cheers erupted inside the ship.

"Praise be to the God-Emperor," Tarken said sincerely.

Looking at the massive support fleet, he felt a great sense of relief.

I didn't expect the support to arrive so quickly.

He was prepared to fight to the death and die for his country.

Given the Imperium's past track record, it would be considered incredibly fast for reinforcements to arrive within a month.

Their fleet simply couldn't hold out for a month.

By the time reinforcements arrive, they'll probably have been completely wiped out by the Necrons necromancers.

With the arrival of reinforcements, the Necron fleet, which had initially held the advantage, was instantly put at a disadvantage.

The roles of hunter and prey are instantly reversed.

"Prioritize locking onto the nearest target and unleash a barrage of Macro-cannon fire."

Big Blue, commander of the Exemplar Fist, shouted out orders.

He wants to send these Xenos back to their homeland and turn them into true Necron.

The Exemplar Fist locked onto a passing Necron warship.

As the ship shuddered, all the Macro-cannon on one side fired.

Most of the Necrons's warships do not have shields.

They typically rely on powerful armor and terrifying self-repair capabilities to withstand battlefield damage.

The massive cannonball landed precisely on the Necrons warship.

The continuous explosions resembled bright stars with short lifespans that vanished in an instant.

The Necron warship was torn apart, broken in the middle, and bursting forth with raging flames.

"Kill count +1".

"For the glory of the Gothic Fleet."

"This is the Calixis Sector, why are you calling me Goth?"

"For the glory of the Calixis Fleet."

"..."

The players cheered when they saw the Necrons.

"Wow, bro, you got a kill right away," the Commodore chuckled. "Keep going, keep going."

The Big Blue also smiled, and was about to order the warships to continue the hunt,

But they received an unexpected report.

"Captain, the ship we destroyed has been restored!" the Auspex shouted.

Big Blue was startled and switched to the visual interface.

The Necron warship, destroyed by a volley of fire, was found to have mysteriously reassembled after being struck by a beam of light.

Immediately afterwards, the propulsion engine installed at the rear started.

It escaped the attack range before the new wave of attacks from the Exemplar Fist arrived.

The same was true for the few Necron warships that were destroyed on the battlefield.

They were strangely reassembled and restored, and once again entered the battlefield to fight against the Imperium warships.

"This is possible?" Big Blue's eyes widened.

"Damn it! Time Tech, these Necrons are cheating because they can't outmaneuver them."

The Commodore immediately saw through the trick and shouted.

The Regional Chat Channel was buzzing with activity, with chat messages refreshing rapidly.

The fleet contains many players who have switched to the Tech-Priest.

They immediately detected the unusual time fluctuation data.

Based on his knowledge of the Necrons, he guessed the result directly.

The Necrons possess a far greater understanding and application of time technology than humans.

It is said that Trazyn the Infinite was responding to accusations from the Astromancer Orikan.

Time was repeatedly rewound in the court presided over by the Phaerakh Necron.

Until you get a result that satisfies you.

They just hadn't expected that this Necrons fleet would be even more outrageous than the Trazyn the Infinite.

Use time rewind directly on the battlefield.

To restore the destroyed warships to their original state before they were destroyed.

How is this any different from cheating?!

Bald Monk: "These Necrons are shameless! Playing time travel! I'm furious! They have no sense of fairness whatsoever!!"

Little Fatty: "Everyone, human or ghost, is cheating, and only the Imperium is getting beaten up, right?"

Little Alpaca: "They're just bullying the Imperium because it doesn't have the backing of the FLiNG Trainer Sect!!"

Brother Zhong: "What kind of monsters and demons are the Imperium's opponents?! Every single one of them has the words 'cheating' written all over their foreheads."

Director Qi: "The Imperium condemns this behavior, as it undermines the fairness of the battlefield."

Pighead Strong: "They're blatantly cheating, what are you condemning them for?"

"..."

Eternal Overlord

Kobuessa, the Necron Overlord, smiled, revealing an expression of complete control.

He could perfectly guess what the expressions on those people's faces would look like.

First, they showed excited joy at the arrival of reinforcements.

Then, he was overcome with despair after witnessing the power of Necron Technology.

"This is the great power of our race, which you inferior races cannot match or reach."

"Recognize your place in the Milky Way, you lowly, inferior race."

Kobuessa stared into the Void, his tone cold.

"Lock onto the enemy's flagship and destroy it."

With the command issued by the Necron Overlord,

The scattered Necron warships used warp to instantly reach the Imperial Glory and unleash their attacks, intending to destroy the human fleet's flagship.

Strands of light and Operation Lightning illuminated the Void, pouring down upon the Glory of the Imperium.

However, Kobuessa underestimated the firepower and defense of the Imperial Glory.

The attacks unleashed by the Necron warship were completely blocked by the Void Shield, only causing ripples.

The next second, the Imperial Glory began its counterattack, all weapons opening fire simultaneously.

Several Necron warships were destroyed, reduced to burning wreckage.

"No matter how many times you destroy them, it won't work."

Kobuessa glanced at the Chronomancer beside her.

"Immediately rewind those warships and let these foolish, inferior creatures experience despair."

"As you wish, Overlord." The Chronomancer began operating the console.

However, this time, the destroyed warships were not restored.

It was still just burning debris in the Void.

What's going on?

"Are you challenging my authority? Why not execute the backtracking?"

Kobuessa's smile froze, and she turned to ask the Chronomancer, her tone somewhat unfriendly.

P. S.: I'll try to release the second chapter before 10 PM. Thanks for your support, everyone.
