Trazyn: The Silent King Has Issued an Order!

Alert Star, the Celerus Hive City.

Deep within the former No. 3 mine, the Necron Dynasty slumbers, more powerful than Alvin had anticipated.

The time to wake up needs to be even earlier!

The tomb lord Torzak was even fully aware of everything that was happening on Alert Star.

Whether it's the existence of the Imperium of Man, the traces of the Aeldari, the Tyranid Swarm, the Chaos, the Orks, and so on, it knows that the universe today is no longer what it was when they were asleep!

Many races are struggling in that galaxy, which is like Purgatory.

As an extremely intelligent Necron Lord, Torzak is different from other "madmen." He is extremely cautious by nature, which is why he managed to remain a corpse for "three years" even after the dynasty awoke!

If you ask it, why is it dressed as a corpse?

Torzak's answer was simple: anyone who wakes up from a deep sleep and finds an "Alpha" blocking their door would most likely make the same choice.

If I don't play dead, am I really going to court death?

That was an "Alpha"-level Psyker; in the blink of an eye, he could destroy its entire tomb dynasty. Torzak had no interest in testing the limits of Alpha, so he used mind control to lure the "old man" to the Blackstone Field.

Unlike most Necrons, Torzak is not particularly concerned with enemies, nor is it keen on war or similar activities. In its almost infinite lifespan, the only thing that brings a sliver of pleasure to its metallic body is the study of souls.

If it could, it would rather stay in one place for tens of thousands of years without moving, only venturing out of its tomb when it lacks research material.

Unfortunately, Torzak's wish was ultimately shattered by a single communication.

"Your Excellency Trazyn, ruler of Solenas, custodian of historical artifacts, and great the Infinite, I have fulfilled your request and protected the life of that human. Is there anything else you require?"

Torzak showed extreme respect, not only bowing his head but also performing the obeisance of the Necron Dynasty.

Among the Necron, hierarchy is a rule ingrained in their very being. According to the status of ancient dynasties, they are the lords who rule a Necrons tomb, above them are the overlords who rule a dynasty, and the most exalted "Phaeron".

Trazyn was a "dominant" level "Necrons".

However, due to its special status and the mission of protecting historical artifacts, its position among all the Necron is, at certain times, no less than that of a "Phaeron".

This is why it was so respectful.

"Torzak, for some reason, I am temporarily unable to travel to the Alert Star."

Trazyn's projection was extremely blurry, but from the background behind it, one could vaguely see a dazzling and bewitching light.

After a brief pause, the collector, with his peculiar tastes, stared at it with a burning gaze that sent chills down Torzak's spine and filled him with an ominous premonition. Then he heard it say, "So... I have a special 'mission' for you."

Torzak hesitated for a few seconds, but dared not refuse this "overlord": "Your Excellency Trazyn,"

It is my pleasure to serve you.

After all, if you offend a true "Phaeron," he will most likely ignore you.

But if you offend "Trazyn," then you'd better wait... This guy is notoriously vengeful, wandering all over the galaxy all day long, and nobody knows how many "terrifying" things he has collected over the long years.

"I heard you're quite knowledgeable about the Flayer Curse, is that right?" Trazyn didn't get straight to the point, instead starting to beat around the bush.

This made Torzak feel even more uneasy, and he forced himself to say, "It's like this, Your Excellency Trazyn, I have some research experience regarding the Flayer Curse... If you need, I'd be happy to let you browse my research records."

Despite his heartbreaking loss, Torzak had no choice but to donate this material so he could stay "at home" and focus on his research.

However, to its surprise, after hearing this, Trazyn asked a very strange question, "Then, can you learn from the Flayed Ones and disguise yourself as other creatures?"

"Yes, yes..." Torzak was completely confused, unable to figure out what Trazyn wanted it to do.

But it soon found out why.

Trazyn suddenly moved closer, clearly revealing its face. On its dark, metallic mask, the pupils flickered with a ghostly light, and its voice seemed unable to contain its excitement. "Very good, excellent..."

Only you can complete this task!

"Lord Trazyn, may I ask... what exactly is the mission?" Torzak finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly.

"It's simple, Torzak." Trazyn's lips curled into a smirk, a hint of fanaticism flashing across his metallic face. "I think you can imitate the Flayed Ones, disguise yourself as a human, and then infiltrate the banner of 'Alvin Valshius,' awaiting my orders!"

Torzak's pupils flickered with fire, and for a few seconds, he wondered if he had misheard.

Trazyn actually sent him, a dignified Necron Lord, disguised as Flayed Ones, to infiltrate a human spaceship?

It felt as if its thought array was about to be burned to a crisp.

"Torzak, this is for the great revival of the Necron, and also our chance to reclaim our 'souls'!" This overlord-level being, Trazyn, revealed an unwavering expression, his pupils flashing with green light, and said in a deep voice, "This matter... is also an order from the 'Silent King'!"

Torzak wore a "resentful" expression, his emotions leaving it no room to refuse!

Even the "Silent King" has been brought up. He is above the "Phaeron," the master of the Council of Three Saints, the owner of the Scepter of Eternal Glory, and undoubtedly the last ruler of the entire Necron. He once shattered the existence of the C'tan!

Could a mere Necron Lord dare to refuse the blind will of this lord?

To be honest, deep down, Torzak was very suspicious that this Trazyn the Infinite, was just trying to fool him with the title of "Silent King."

But... it dares not gamble.

What if it's true?

The Silent King has simply disappeared, not died. Who knows when he'll return?

In less than a second, the thought array in the Torzak program ran trillions of times, and finally concluded that it was on a sinking ship, and had no choice but to go!

"Yes, Your Excellency Trazyn."

Torzak was suffering inside; all it wanted was to stay quietly in the tomb, studying the soul and the Flayer Curse.

First, he woke up to find two Psyker blocking his door. After finally getting rid of the two "old men," he ended up being tricked into going to the human side.

The peaceful life I'd always dreamed of has finally been shattered!
