"Eye of Death"

Adams's Brainy Cat walked beside him; its orange fur made it even colder than the Gravedigger, more like a dead cat.

Adams noticed that the decaying graveyard was not dark; he followed the light to the stone pillars and saw reliefs of spiders and zombies carved on them.

Adams's dark eyes narrowed as he noticed that each stone pillar was inlaid with a different number of glass-like discs of varying sizes.

The light in the cemetery comes from these discs, each emitting a light of varying brightness.

No zombies approached the area illuminated by the light; rusted weapons and broken bones lay scattered on the ground.

Adams walked up to the nearest pillar and noticed that it was engraved with runes.

He glanced at the corpses on the ground and deduced the function of the runes.

The owners of the cemetery don't want to be disturbed, so the runes act as an alarm system to lure the horde of zombies.

Touching the pillar will make a noise and attract the horde of zombies.

The Gravedigger cautiously refrained from touching it, gazing intently at the blue disc, its surface etched with dense, spiderweb-like patterns, forming an intricate design.

Data Crystal!

Adams knew that Data Crystal could store vast amounts of memory data, with a storage capacity several orders of magnitude greater than that of Data Slate.

They emit light when storing information, and the brightness of the light corresponds to the amount of data stored.

The Orb Weaver League possesses the Hato System, which produces Data Crystal; therefore, Data Crystal have always been the storage medium for important data.

Adams looked up at the thousands of pillars supporting the cemetery, each pillar adorned with a dozen to several dozen Data Crystal.

[This is a huge fortune; the Lord of the Forge will surely be overjoyed to see it.]

Adams walked on and then discovered a series of stone chambers.

One of the stone chambers had its door open, so he went over.

He noticed weapon parts scattered on the ground near the doorway, Adams crouched down to examine them.

A look of surprise flashed across Adams' eyes as he thought to himself.

[Could it be Atomic Disintegration Weapon? The Orb Weaver League soldiers didn't have such a powerful weapon in the previous battles.]

He got up and walked into the stone chamber. He saw a dozen or so weapon racks scattered on the ground, but five of them still had firearms on them.

Adams strode over to a weapons rack and reached out to pick up the metal gun.

[It really is Atomic Disintegration Weapon, and it's well-preserved and safe to use.]

These relics of the "Dark Mechanicum Era" are now rare in the Legion's arsenal.

Adams, armed with the Atomic Disintegration Weapon, left the stone chamber and continued on his way.

After walking a dozen or so steps, he discovered spider webs clinging to the ground, the stone chamber, and the walls.

The Gravedigger immediately thought of the Giant Spirit Spider, but then realized something was different. In his natural Spirit Sight, the Spider Silk emitted specks of green light, tinged with the aura of death.

The Gravedigger gazed into the distance, his "Eye of Death" piercing through layers of spiderwebs to see Rotting Spider with compound eyes flashing blue-red light.

Adams' gaze shifted downwards, landing in the center of the burial complex on a massive spider statue and below it, on the entrance to the building.

Having completed his reconnaissance, Adams retraced his steps and returned to the entrance of the cemetery.

Rosicky Czech saw the weapon in Adams' hand and immediately came over. After examining it for a moment, he spoke.

"The Atomic Disintegration Weapon is intact and safe to use."

There's more inside.

The Death Lord spoke coldly, then informed the Lord of the Forge the situation in the cemetery.

"Data Crystal adorn the pillars surrounding the cemetery, and relics from the 'Dark Mechanicum Era' are found within the stone chamber in the central area."

"Beneath the central spider statue, there is a passage leading underground, which must be where the nobles Burial."

The Archaeologist's eyes lit up. "This is a major discovery! We must bring them all back!"

"The Death Lord and the Lord of the Forge immediately began discussing the cleanup plan," Rosicky said.

"We can't use the Bolter; it might damage the Data Crystal."

The Gravedigger said, "We can't use the Chainsword either; the roar is too deafening and will attract the walkers."

"..."

Four sidereal hours later, the "Gravedigger" led 144 "Corpse Collector" into the cemetery.

They were not wearing Power Armor; they marched forward in silence, their faces grim.

The "Corpse Collector" possesses a natural Spirit Sight, allowing them to clearly see the walking corpses through their decaying bodies.

They simultaneously raised their arms and swung their swords, the Power Blade striking the walker's head. The Disruption Field crackled and flickered, shredding the walker's skull.

Adams raised the Atomic Disintegration Weapon and pulled the trigger.

A beam of light blasted into the zombie.

In the blink of an eye, the foul-smelling zombie disintegrated and disappeared, turning into atoms.

The "Gravedigger" leads the "Corpse Collector" to clear away the walking corpses from area to area.

After each area is cleared, the Death Lord will use tactical hand signals to order a "Corpse Collector" to stay behind.

The Lord of the Forge led his Tech Sergeant into the area, where Rosicky would retrieve the brightest Data Crystal, while his men would handle the rest.

Once the "Corpse Collector" confirms that the walker is completely dead, he hands the body over to a Legion servant.

At the same time, they will feel a sensation of their bodies gradually dissolving.

Legion servants wearing gas masks and protective suits dragged the bodies away and threw them into the incinerator set up outside the cemetery gate.

Leandro Hemar did not leave; he stood outside the cemetery gates, awaiting the opportunity to serve the Death Lord.

He first saw the corpses being carried out. "The Shadow of Order cleared the horde of corpses so quickly using only Power Sword. It's incredibly efficient, far beyond what my hunting teams can match."

Governor Hemar then saw hundreds of Data Crystal being carried out, and the towering giant commanding his Servitor to transport them away.

His eyes lit up, and he stared wide-eyed.

Each Data Crystal contains knowledge lost thousands of years ago, and its value may even exceed that of a dome.

The movement of the Data Crystal lasted for five full Work Cycle.

The Gravedigger stood before the stone chamber once more, and he clearly felt that he could better harness the power bestowed upon him by the Primarch.

As the dusty stone chambers were opened one by one, the Lord of the Forge saw various creations from the "Dark Mechanicum Era".

Forty-four Shadow of Order were equipped with Atomic Disintegration Weapon, and five more were sent away by Tech Sergeant for research.

The Archaeotech Pistol, capable of firing various types of bullets, was originally a secondary weapon for high-ranking Imperium officers and Astartes commanders, but now every "Corpse Collector" and Tech Sergeant has been given one.

Sixteen "Savant" were equipped with portable X-ray Viewer and operated a moving screen to view three-dimensional simulation images of a stone chamber inside a solid stone wall.

The Lord of the Forge, who had studied on Mars, was Shock to find so many artifacts from the "Dark Mechanicum Era" in the graveyard.

Rosicky grew increasingly eager to discover as many precious artifacts as possible in the central cemetery; to get there, they would have to deal with the enormous, Rotting Spider.

While the Lord of the Forge rejoiced at the discovery, the "Gravedigger" had already begun hunting Rotting Spider.

He used a fighting gesture to signal the "Corpse Collector" to stand by, then walked alone toward the nearest Rotting Spider.

A rotting spider, nearly fifty meters tall, hangs in the air, its foul-smelling, viscous pus dripping onto the ground, instantly Corrosion the stone floor into a pitted mess.

The Gravedigger's dark eyes flashed with green light as he entered the realm of Spirituality and the Necrons, looking down upon the enormous, Rotting Spider from a higher perspective.

His gaze pierced through the decaying body, spotting a green node inside the spider's body—a grayish-green, fist-sized crystal.

Just like the "Warp Vision" that my father taught me, the abilities gained after activation are similar.

Unfortunately, I haven't mastered it like Sanchez.

Its scope is limited, but its effectiveness is even greater in this area.

Adams pulled the trigger, and the beam shot directly at the gray-green crystal.

In the blink of an eye, the crystal vanished, and the enormous, decaying body crumbled like mud, falling to the ground.

The Gravedigger then killed three more giant, Rotting Spider; their enormous compound eyes didn't even detect any enemy before they were killed.

The group arrived at the central plaza of the cemetery.
