The Working Man Shouldn't Make Things Difficult for Another Working Man
After reviewing the flight log, Alvin finally understood the whole story and realized that he had indeed misunderstood the Necron.
According to the Machine Spirit's logbook, "Sword of Redemption" encountered a rare Warp Storm after entering Warp, probably about half a day after it left.
A terrifying Warp Storm raged, the power of the Chaos Gods engulfing the entire ship, as if it were trapped in a vortex.
Soon, the Gellar Field generator, which was protecting the ship from the influence of the Warp, was destroyed by the violent Psychic Power Stormfront. Without the protection of the Gellar Field, everyone on board was essentially exposed to the Warp!
This means that a person could enter Chernobyl without any protective measures!
In just a few minutes, the most ordinary slave laborers and sailors in the lowest level of the ship's cabin were affected by the Warp and twisted into mindless, blasphemous monsters!
But the impact went far beyond that; sharp iron spikes sprouted from the entire metal hull of the ship, breeding nauseating flesh and blood!
Crew members and sailors are being swallowed up by the "ship"!
Humans and steel were forcibly fused together, creating a scene that is indescribably bizarre and terrifying!
Immediately afterwards, Carroll, the Grand Sage of Biology who held the highest command authority at the time, ordered the isolated, Chaos- infected compartments to have their oxygen supply, electrical circuits, and other systems cut off.
Then, the Grand Sage decisively moved all the important members and supplies to the "prayer room" to establish a defensive position in an attempt to resist the infection of Chaos, and sent Tucker and the Silver Templars to repair and control the Gellar Field Generator.
However, Grand Sage Carroll the impact of this Chaos Warp Storm.
This is the "Great Rift," where the power of the Chaos Gods is far beyond what other star systems can match. Not only did the entire ship experience gravity anomalies, but many people even witnessed terrifying illusions!
If Penny's prayer hadn't triggered the golden miracle at the most crucial moment, the entire ship would likely have been infected, distorted, and Corruption the Chaos before Torzak arrived.
"Thank you so much for saving my crew at that critical moment, great Necron Lord, Mr. Torzak." Alvin was also a little shaken. He took a deep breath and then thanked the Necron.
"You're wrong, human," Torzak sneered, his tone sarcastic. "I should be thanking you for not killing me."
Alvin was speechless and could only give an awkward laugh. In that situation, anyone would probably have immediately assumed it was the work of the Necron, right?
But ultimately, it was thanks to the Emperor's protection that, despite the heavy casualties on the ships, the Sword of Redemption was only slightly infected, and the important crew members were all saved by Torzak using Stasis Field to envelop them and throw them into the Pocket Dimension.
However, the problem is... Alvin paused for a few seconds, then looked at Torzak with a meaningful gaze.
A lord-level Necron would actually abandon his position as a lord and deliberately disguise himself as a "Flayed Ones" to infiltrate his spaceship. There must be some unknown scheme behind this!
Aside from the Necropolis on Alert Star, the only other Necron Necrons he remembered was the "Necrotech Scarab" he encountered in the hidden Necrons in Losel Hive.
Thinking of this, Alvin's lips twitched. Could it be that he had really been targeted by that damned "collector"?
Aside from that damned "collecting obsession," he couldn't imagine who else among the Necron could command a Necron Lord to abandon his own tomb, give up being a perfectly good "homebody," and come to his ship to disguise himself as a lowly slave!
As Alvin pondered this in his mind, he looked at Torzak and said with a smile, "Then,
"Great Lord Torzak, do you have any means to send your ships out of the Warp?"
As for now, Torzak is still useful to him, so he can't be thrown away so quickly. Once the ship leaves the Warp and the crew is rescued, he can be abandoned and the ship can be driven off!
"Yes." Torzak glanced at Alvin, clearly understanding his ulterior motives, and said calmly, "I know what you're thinking. Once we leave the Warp, you'll expel me, right?"
Seeing that his plan had been exposed, Alvin's smile faded, and he looked directly at Torzak: "At least we parted amicably. If you need, I can give you a ship so you can return to your Alert Star. After all, nobody wants to have a 'time bomb' on their ship, right?"
Several emotions seemed to be clashing in Torzak's dark green eyes, but in the end he sighed regretfully, "From your tone, you should already know who sent me to keep an eye on you. Now that you know, you should understand even more clearly—I cannot leave."
That's true. Don't let the Necron Lord's apparent power fool you; he's no match for the name "Trazyn the Infinite."
This old man really dares to turn you into a "specimen"!
"Besides, even if I leave, you won't be able to shake him off," Torzak said meaningfully. "Believe me, once someone is targeted by him, you can't escape even if you run to the Black Zone."
This is a bit disgusting; isn't this just pure chewing gum?
Alvin frowned, but then Torzak slowly said, "How about this, we can cooperate."
"Cooperation?" Alvin, somewhat surprised.
"That's right, it's cooperation." Torzak said calmly, "You let me stay on the ship to complete the task that person gave me, and in return—I can help you resolve some issues that are inconvenient for you to handle personally, how about it?"
"Are you sure?" Alvin was tempted and had to admit that Torzak's proposal was indeed very beneficial to him.
These are the Necron, the former rulers of the galaxy, a race that even killed and imprisoned the C'tan, turning them into power generators. What can't they do?
With such a promise from the Necron Lord, Alvin can say that in the future, if there are any situations where he is "inconvenient to appear," he can simply throw the Necron out and then use the excuse of "purging the court of corrupt officials"—or rather, eliminating heretics—to do it. It's like killing two birds with one stone!
Torzak saw through his thoughts and said slowly, "In fact, I have absolutely no interest in you. If it weren't for 'that person's' orders, I would rather stay on Alert Star and continue my research on souls. So as long as you don't hinder my mission, I don't mind helping you within my capabilities. Understand?"
Of course I understand! How could I not understand?
Isn't this just like the modern working class? As long as it doesn't interfere with work, they try to slack off as much as possible within their capabilities, basically just getting by!
He never expected that he would encounter a lazy Necron in the Warhammer Universe for the first time, which really reminded Alvin of the past.
"Okay, it's settled then!"
Alvin immediately beamed with joy.
In any case, as Torzak said, even if he were thrown out, Trazyn would send a second, third, or even more unseen means to monitor his location.
Rather than doing it that way, it's better to be straightforward.
"Very good, I'm growing to appreciate you more and more, human." Torzak was also quite satisfied; at least he wouldn't have to live in that damned, stinking cabin with more than a dozen people sharing it anymore!
As for what Trazyn thinks, what does it matter to him? Anyway, the mission is to keep an eye on Alvin, and there's no rule against revealing his identity, so he doesn't care!
And so—the man and the Necrons reached a pleasant agreement, laughing heartily with their arms around each other's shoulders!
If Inquisitor were here and witnessed this scene, he might just let out a sharp bang and, without hesitation, apply to the Vought for Extermination Order!
