The Unborn Twins!
Is it just my imagination?
Alvin's premonition made his heart tighten, but even with the technology of the Necron, it should be impossible to completely avoid "Sky-Shaking Unicron's" scanning mode, let alone leave no trace.
Regardless of the circumstances, "Sky-Shaking Unicron" is ultimately the Primal Kong, the progenitor created by "Primus"!
Unless it's the "Phaeron" from the legends of the Necron, even the detection of the "Overlord" should not exceed the limits of the "Sky-Shaking Unicron".
Alvin was confident about this.
Surely it can't be that unlucky as to run into a "Phaeron" in some random mine on an Alert Star, right?
That probability is just too low!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Boom!
In the distance, from the location of that dark Obelisk, another violent explosion erupted, the chaotic sounds instantly pulling him back to reality from his thoughts.
"Maybe I was just too nervous..." In the end, unable to find any clues, Alvin could only attribute his earlier illusion to being too nervous.
Even so, he remained extremely vigilant, after all, this was the ruins of the former galactic overlord, the "Necron"... No one could predict what might happen here.
While pondering, Alvin shook his head, banishing the distracting thoughts from his mind, and quickened his pace. If he let these people continue their commotion and they actually woke up the "Necrons," no one would be in good shape!
He quickly reached the outer perimeter of the battle.
What came into view was the Inquisitor leading the Department of Justice special forces, and the Brass Claws Space Marine squad, engaged in a fierce battle with the forces of Chaos!
The two sides were roughly equal in strength. The Chaos side had only three squads, totaling about thirty Corruption Space Marine, attempting to seize control of the black Obelisk.
The forces led by the Inquisitor consisted mostly of Arbiter and special police, with only a ten-man Space Marine squad reliant on the black Obelisk as their stronghold to withstand the onslaught of Chaos.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this stalemate cannot last long.
Judging from the current situation, the Imperium is already at a disadvantage, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will soon be conquered by Chaos!
Upon seeing this, Alvin breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the Chaos faction didn't send many people, only three small teams, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to handle it.
Moreover, it seems that both sides have almost beaten each other senseless, yet the tomb, which is very likely to house a "dynasty," remains unresponsive, at least proving his conjecture that the lord is still asleep!
This is one of the few pieces of good news so far!
So, the only remaining question is... how to resolve the current situation!
If we let them keep making a scene, they might wake up the "lord" soon. His millions of years of morning grumpiness is terrifying to even think about.
As Alvin was pondering how to stab these Chaos scumbags in the back, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye!
That thin figure barged straight into the battle zone. Everyone initially thought he was a suicidal, mentally unstable scavenger, but soon... what they saw shocked them all!
Countless bombs and lasers rained down on the frail figure, but in an instant, they were all distorted by some invisible force!
Around that thin figure, there seemed to be an invisible domain, twisting anything that tried to threaten his life!
Moment!
The Imperium and Chaos, who just a second ago wanted nothing more than to smash each other's brains out, instantly fell into an eerie silence!
Yes, the Imperium and Chaos have stopped fighting!
A once-in-a-lifetime scene unfolded before Alvin's eyes; both groups ceased fire simultaneously, as if a pause button had been pressed.
What brought this scene to fruition was not some terrifying being, but merely a... frail figure, around fifteen or sixteen years old, covered in dirt, whose gender was indistinguishable!
The figure was so thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away, yet even so... his appearance still sent chills down the spines of everyone present!
Beads of cold sweat the size of soybeans instantly soaked Alvin's back. He felt as if he were Gravity Crush, and he could hardly straighten his back!
Despite being in such a highly radioactive environment, that thin figure was not wearing any equipment and was practically naked as he walked through the highly radioactive and hot underground world!
What's even more terrifying is that the space and time around that frail figure seemed to be "disconnected" from its surroundings, as if separated by some invisible force!
It's... it's appeared!
His pupils suddenly contracted sharply, becoming as small as needle tips!
The thin figure seemed completely oblivious to the fact that he had entered the battle zone. As if no one else was around, he mechanically and stiffly rummaged through the ruins and debris.
Neither the Imperium Inquisitor nor the Chaos Space Marine dared to make a move, simply watching as the small, thin figure picked up trash right under their noses!
What is a feeling of oppression?
That's it!
One person alone stopped the Imperium from collapsing into Chaos!
The reason no one dared to move was simple: that thin figure was the "Psyker" who had caused the explosion but had not yet fully awakened!
Judging from the scale of the last explosion alone, he is at least a "Delta" level Psyker!
It's no exaggeration to say that in the blink of an eye, he could twist everyone present into a pretzel, whether you're an ordinary person or Space Marine!
The thin figure passed a Chaos Space Marine, looking down at his feet.
The Chaos Space Marine's gun trembled slightly, and the crimson vision of the Auspex inside his helmet seemed to vibrate, clearly indicating that he was on the verge of collapse!
But, at that very moment...
Snap!
The Space Marine was instantly crushed into a bloody pulp by a powerful force, without even having time to scream!
The Power Armor he was wearing offered him absolutely no protection; without any warning, he was suddenly crushed into a bloody pulp!
This extremely exciting scene undoubtedly gave everyone's nerves a real jolt!
Those are Space Marine!
Despite being clad in tough Power Armor, it still couldn't withstand the impact and was crushed in an instant!
The room fell silent; even breathing became almost inaudible. Everyone knew that the best course of action was to avoid provoking the other party.
No, it's not just about anger.
Even the slightest movement is unacceptable; otherwise, any action that makes that "Psyker" feel threatened will trigger unimaginable and terrifying consequences!
The thin Psyker crouched down where the Chaos Space Marine had been standing, and with his pale fingers rummaged through the rubble mixed with flesh and blood, finally pulling out a worn-out... Energy Battery!
Yes, it's because that Chaos Space Marine was standing on an Energy Battery!
As a result, it was crushed into a meat patty!
The Psyker found the Energy Battery seemed extremely happy, dancing around like a madman, a smile blooming on his mud-covered face.
Hehe, hehehe...
Then, the thin Psyker turned his gaze to the humans.
In an instant, the Arbiter who met his gaze seemed to see something terrifying, and couldn't help but scream, taking a few steps back and aiming their guns at him!
Upon witnessing this, the Inquisitor in the group was instantly horrified and growled, "No!"
However, he was ultimately a step too late!
The moment the gun was aimed, the Arbiter began to wither away, as if their flesh and blood were being drained by some invisible force. In just a few seconds, they turned into dried corpses!
But then, something even more terrifying happened!
Blood was drawn from the dried-up Arbiter's body, and then, little by little, water seeped out from the blood floating in mid-air!
That's right, it's water!
The human body contains more than 70% water, but Alvin could hardly imagine that one day he would witness... the scene of water being extracted from the human body!
The extracted water floated around him, a substance that should have been liquid but acted like a solid, which he could manipulate and shape.
"Gulp... gulp..."
He opened his mouth and greedily "chewed" the pure water extracted from his body, and soon a satisfied look appeared on his face.
Then, the thin figure wiped his mouth, pocketed the Energy Battery, and, seemingly satisfied, swayed as he prepared to leave.
What to do?
The human Arbiter turned to the Inquisitor, asking them what to do next.
The Space Marine on the Chaos side also seemed to be asking their commander what to do.
After a brief hesitation, the two groups tiptoed behind the Psyker like thieves.
"Damn Chaos scum!"
"Ha, the Corpse Emperor's lackey!"
"What did you say?!"
"I say what you believe in is nothing but a corpse and rotting flesh!"
"Bullshit, are your Four Gods any good?"
Then, a strange thing happened.
The Inquisitor and the Chaos Commander cursed at each other, wishing they could draw their swords and chop each other up, or give each other a mental breakthrough, but neither dared to make a move!
The two groups hurled insults at each other in hushed tones, yet they had no choice but to travel together, following behind the Psyker.
Even Alvin, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this scene.
Simply put, it's just too hilarious!
The Inquisitor was traveling with Chaos, and they were getting along perfectly well... He had lived two lifetimes and had never seen anything so bizarre!
Of course, this is not because the Inquisitor was cowardly, nor because Chaos was easy to talk to, that two sides who were like oil and water and would fight at the first sight could temporarily coexist peacefully. The reason lies with that "Psyker"!
Delta- level or higher Psyker are mostly born with mental disabilities or madness due to their close connection with the Warp, making it difficult for them to think like normal people.
Even their view of the world is very different from that of normal people!
In this situation, the best course of action, whether it's the Chaos side or the human side, is to avoid provoking the Psyker!
Otherwise... even if the number of people increased tenfold, it would be almost impossible to control a highly dangerous Psyker!
Clearly, Chaos wants to bring back the Psyker, corrupt and Corruption them. Psyker of this level, once fallen into Chaos, is guaranteed to be at least an SSR!
"The Unborn Ones"... this is the title given to these Psyker before they fall into Chaos and are elevated to the status of Daemon Prince. This shows just how valuable a high-level Psyker is!
If he falls into the Imperium of Man, the Psyker will most likely face life imprisonment; killing him is unlikely... at least not in the short term!
There is no foolproof method. No one can withstand the potential dangers when killing a Psyker of this caliber, given the sheer number of Legions, Titans, and Sisters of Silence!
Even the slightest mistake could lead to the entire Alert Star being Warp —a massive loss that the Imperium cannot afford!
But there was one thing that Alvin found very strange.
If the main plan of the Chaos faction is to completely destroy "Alert Star" through this Psyker, then there is absolutely no need to be so cautious.
Or rather, provoking this Psyker to the point of losing control and detonating this massive bomb would be more in line with Chaos's goals.
Unless... Chaos has a bigger scheme in mind!
With this suspicion in mind, Alvin, like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, concealed himself and quietly followed behind the two groups of people.
Soon, the thin Psyker arrived at a relatively well-preserved ruin amidst the desolate Necron. He crouched down and crawled through a broken crack into the ruin.
The rift was so small that it would be difficult for even a normal person to pass through, let alone Space Marine of such height. It was clearly impossible for him to squeeze through, but they couldn't make too much noise, so the two sides were once again locked in a stalemate!
In the tense atmosphere, Chaos did not want the Imperium of Man to make contact with the Psyker first, while humanity was also wary of Chaos.
The Chaos Space Marine commander ordered his men to search for other entrances, and the Inquisitor immediately made the same decision as Chaos.
Whoever can make contact with Psyker first and gain their trust has a greater chance of controlling that Psyker!
While both sides were searching for other entrances, Alvin, who was following behind, had already created a three-dimensional model of the ruins using the scanning mode of the Sky-Shaking Unicron Armor.
They found the entrance to the ruins before the other two groups!
Alvin avoided everyone's gaze and followed the entrance he had found, venturing deep into the ruins.
He had his own reasons for doing so.
Psyker of Delta level or higher are too dangerous and completely uncontrollable. Rather than leaving them on Alert Star and facing the constant danger of explosion, it would be better to just throw them into another universe!
He simply refused to believe that a Psyker could blast out a "Warp."
With this in mind, Alvin followed the trail left by the Psyker in the ruins, tracing it all the way to its depths.
Deep within the ruins of the Necron lies a vast and empty circular plaza, with four pitch-black spires standing around the Inner Circle ring!
The thin Psyker poured the water he had brought from outside into a rusty iron kettle, and then placed the Energy Battery somewhere outside the Inner Circle ring spire area.
Finally, he handed the iron kettle full of water to a thin, small child who looked to be less than ten years old, who was inside the Inner Circle ring spire.
"Hehe, drink... drink..."
The thin but older Psyker, with a silly grin on his face, looked at the child in the Inner Circle.
The children in the Inner Circle also seemed mentally unstable. When they saw the thin Psyker, they opened their arms and staggered toward him.
Just as the child's foot stepped out of the Inner Circle surrounded by the four spires, an unprecedented pressure, like a tsunami, engulfed the entire square!
At this moment, Alvin could clearly feel the entire space trembling, as if it could not bear the weight and was emitting a wailing sound of collapse!
"Holy crap?!"
His eyes widened instantly, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
But the next second, the thin Psyker clutched his head and screamed, seemingly in fear as he moved away from the child who was about to step out of the Inner Circle.
The child seemed to realize something, and reluctantly withdrew his half-step. The pressure that had permeated the entire square vanished instantly, as if it had never existed!
Gazing at the four black spires, Alvin broke out in a cold sweat. "Blackstone Creation capable of suppressing Psychic Power, so the real danger... is that child!"
The child only took half a step, yet it caused such a terrifying commotion... Could that child be an "Alpha" level Psyker?!
Twins? That's not a good omen!
I will resume normal update times tomorrow. I am truly sorry for everything during this time. I apologize to everyone. I repent, I... I will personally go and collect a bomb as an apology!
