Magradros!
Deep within the narrow canyon.
Hilda led the way. She was Aeldari Battle Witch, but she also possessed prophetic abilities, and could still provide early warnings despite the Warp being suppressed here.
Just in case, Torzak also took out the Phase Great Axe from his treasury, looking quite like a fierce general, and walked behind to cover the rear.
As for Alvin, he was naturally protected in the middle of the group by an Aeldari and a Necrons.
To be honest, he couldn't understand how he had suddenly become "Xiang Rao Rao" in the eyes of the two ancient races.
If the Aeldari took a liking to him because of the Great Prophet's prophecy, that would be understandable. But why did the Trazyn the Infinite of the Necron, take a liking to him?
Is it the "AllSpark"?
No, it doesn't seem so... Alvin shook his head. He was still in Losel when Trazyn targeted him.
He didn't have AllSpark back then.
But if it wasn't the "AllSpark," then what was the reason?
This is what puzzled Alvin. When he was in Losel, he was at most a slightly conspicuous mortal, and shouldn't have been worthy of the "Trazyn the Infinite" collection.
"Arrive."
Suddenly, Hilda stopped in her tracks, deliberately lowering her voice, as if afraid of waking the sleeping being ahead.
Coming to his senses, Alvin looked up into the depths of the canyon fissure. The dark shale, seemingly accumulated over time, formed a bizarre landscape, and there stood an ancient metal structure in the shape of a Pyramid. It was mostly covered by the rocks, but through the exposed parts, it was still possible to recognize that it was the creation of Necron!
Aside from the Necron, almost no other race uses Living Metal extensively. Its unique eerie green color and lifeless, icy aura are considered symbols of the Necron!
"The Blackstone Citadel." Gazing at the metallic structure exposed in the black shale, its green parts barely visible, Torzak's voice was low, seemingly tinged with complex emotions, and tinged with a hint of sarcasm. "It was once Void Dragon..."
The conceived mechanical and technological masterpiece, created to counter the Old Ones and sever the source of Psykana Power, unfortunately—it probably never even imagined that it would become a solid cage imprisoning itself.
"Using Blackstone to imprison your former master, you really know how to play—" Sister Hill once again displayed her sharp tongue, saying something completely out of place.
Alvin spoke, representing his province, and Ren Bu Xiaoji said that this was something to be said afterward, and then Tuo Xiaotuo 2
V
It's black!
"Heh, what right do you have to talk about us, you servants created by the Old Ones?" Torzak gritted his teeth in anger, glaring fiercely at Hilda: "You should be glad that Alvin and I are 'friends,' otherwise—"
You should be in my Laboratory right now, not acting arrogantly in front of me!
They're arguing again.
Alvin rubbed his throbbing temples, a little regretful that he shouldn't have put these two nemesis together!
"Stop arguing, how are we supposed to get in?" He interrupted them in time, afraid that the two would start fighting.
"Snort."
Torzak snorted coldly, then picked up his Phase Great Axe and slowly walked towards the Blackstone Citadel.
Then, he paused for a moment, carefully observing the Blackstone Citadel and the exposed metal surface outside the rock strata, until he confirmed that the runes on it were intact. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, "Now I can confirm that the Shard of the Void Dragon imprisoned here have not completely escaped."
He pointed to the strange runes outside the Blackstone Citadel: "See? There are many of these runes, and they are still intact. Only a very few are damaged. This means that although much of the Void Dragon's power has been leaked, its true form is still imprisoned in the 'Hyperdimensional Cube'."
Torzak manipulated it for a while, but without any special action, he noticed the exposed metal.
Suddenly, a road appeared, allowing passage.
"It's right here, come in with me."
Torzak paused, then turned back and cautioned, "Remember to stay close to me and don't wander off. This place is full of deadly traps set by the Necron Dynasty, specifically to prevent escape or theft of the Star God Fragment."
"Okay, I understand."
Alvin nodded; he knew the seriousness of the matter—this was no laughing matter!
As for Hilda?
Torzak didn't care; he'd rather die here!
Even before he fell into slumber, he had never encountered Aeldari with such a foul mouth. They were still as annoying as ever!
The three of them stepped into the passage one after the other.
But—as soon as he stepped into the passage, Alvin was dumbfounded. Could someone tell him that this place looked like a giant "sea urchin," covered with twisted, sharp spikes, with four corner pillars that bloomed like flower petals?
In the middle of that "sea urchin" was a semi-transparent, humanoid life form that seemed to be pure energy, yet existed somewhere between quantum mechanics and reality.
However, a flat, carapace-like soft-limbed creature was wrapped around the humanoid life form's body, as if it were binding and restraining him.
Without needing to say a word, Alvin immediately recognized that the pure energy life form was none other than the Void Dragon, Magradros!
Its prototype is one of the ancient C'tan, also known as the dragon, who is said to be one of the greatest and most terrifying individuals among all the C'tan.
Even after being shattered into pieces by the Necron and enslaved by his former servants, many clues suggest that this great being was once imprisoned in the Noctis Labyrinth beneath the Martian surface, and had intricate connections with the "Dragon of Mars."
There are also legends that the Void Dragon possesses advanced technology and is able to harness the raw power of unrefined Blackstone.
This power was incorporated as energy into the Necrons's Living Metal shell, making its external form more like a constantly changing digital pixel module, existing in a magical state between reality and quantum mechanics.
Similarly, the Void Dragon were also recorded in the Black Library by the Aeldari.
Depicted as a terrifying figure of wanton destruction and annihilation, it is a top-tier existence in the material realm and has also armed Necron Warrior with technological power. In the War in Heaven, it was almost an invincible existence!
In order to fight against the Void Dragon, the ancestors of the Eldar were forced to create "Wraith Prophets," which were driven by the souls of the dead.
The ultimate fate of this great being remains unknown.
However, based on very few clues, Alvin strongly suspects that the "Dragon of Mars" who was once defeated by the Emperor is very likely one of the fragments of "Void Dragon Magradros", and the rise of the Martian Mechanicus is also related to this C'tan in an unspeakable secret.
Magradros's own light seemed to be watching him. "Human, I want to make a deal with you!"
