Who Am I?
Who I am?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
After Third Company self-doubtful questions, Alvin regained his composure, and unsurprisingly, another problem arose.
Although the three of them entered the "Blackstone Citadel" that imprisoned the C'tan at the same time, it was both unexpected and reasonable that only he was directly teleported in front of them.
Wouldn't you call this a case of "a lamb being led to the slaughter"?
Alvin sighed. At this point, he was too tired to call it an accident anymore. With so many accidents combined, it could only be said that it was no accident at all!
"You wouldn't be asking me to help you escape from here, would you?" He raised his eyelids and looked at the "Magradros," the legendary "C'tan" Void Dragon, whose energy was being extracted by a soft-shelled arthropod creature inside the metal cube that resembled a "sea urchin."
"I can grant your wish."
The humanoid pure energy entity seemed to be in an extremely unstable state, sometimes turning into pixels and sometimes resembling a metallic form. Its voice was devoid of any emotion, sounding extremely cold and indifferent, as if one were talking to a machine.
"Whatever your wish, it's possible." His gaze seemed to encompass the universe, flowing with endless order and rules, "Do you want to stop the Tyranid Swarm? Or do you want to replace that pathetic, pitiful rotting flesh on that throne? I can grant you boundless power, allowing you to rule a great Imperium whose territory far exceeds that of the Milky Way, and even bestow upon you supreme strength!"
The Void Dragon's voice seemed to possess immense seductive power, weaving and painting a magnificent and glorious future that no one could refuse.
It must be said that Void Dragon 'Magradros proposal was indeed very tempting, but—unfortunately...
The person I met was Alvin.
"Really? Really?"
Alvin's face showed a "longing" expression, much like someone about to be bewitched.
"Of course it's true." The trapped Void Dragon couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy, continuing to tempt the human, "If you're willing to let me out, I swear in the name of Magradros that I will repay your kindness and grant your wish!"
"That's great!"
Alvin's face flushed crimson, his emotions running high, veins bulging on his forehead. As if out of control, he took two steps forward, stunned. "Great C'tan, Void Dragon Magradros, what—what can I do to free you from this damned cage?"
Anyone who saw Alvin like this would probably think that he had completely fallen for her.
He was panting heavily, veins bulging on his neck, his pupils bloodshot, his gaze fixed on the "C'tan" imprisoned in the cage.
"It's simple, my child." The Void Dragon Magradros was overjoyed. "As long as you come here and help me break free from the control over me, I can escape from here!"
"That's great." Alvin swallowed hard, took a few steps, and moved closer to the C'tan.
Watching the humans approach step by step, the Void Dragon Magradros smiled sarcastically to himself.
Little did they know, this cage was designed from the outset to eliminate the function of releasing the Star God Fragment within; even in death, he would never be allowed to escape!
But there is another way!
That is, to seize this human's physical body, to infiltrate this skin in the form of energy, only then would there be any chance of escaping.
Of course, Magradros didn't tell this human that it was an honor to be his temporary vessel!
With this physical body as a vessel, as long as one can escape this cage, it would be incredibly easy to use one's authority to create a new vessel for oneself!
The robe didn't mind using this human's face to complete his plan to conquer the world; in a way,
And indeed, he did not deceive Alvin.
Yes, that's right—that's exactly it!
Watching the humans approach step by step, the Void Dragon felt extremely excited, and a look of wild joy surged in its pupils. Closer, just a little closer!
However, just as Alvin was about to step into the area he could control, he suddenly stopped.
This stop brought him just half a step away from escaping and stealing the human's body!
"What's wrong? My child!"
The Void Dragon grew anxious, its tone unconsciously urging, "What are you still hesitating about? Don't you want to possess the power of C'tan and rule over territories surpassing even the Imperium of Man?"
"Oh, I don't want to."
Suddenly, Alvin changed his tone.
Gone was the previous fervor; his face was devoid of any excitement, replaced by a mocking expression. A slight upturn of his lips said, "How is it? Isn't it painful? Just a little bit more, and you'd be able to steal my body and escape this cage completely. Do you feel even a little bit of despair?"
"You want me in this play?!"
Magradros's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and upon seeing Alvin's mocking expression, he immediately realized that he had been tricked!
"Great C'tan, Void Dragon Magradros, do you feel like a clown right now?" Alvin stopped in his tracks, tilting his head and staring at him with a half-smile, "Oh, I forgot, you probably don't know what a clown is. It's a profession that makes people laugh. You're welcome."
"Humans--!!!"
Enraged, the Void Dragon Magradros materialized his emotions, unleashing a torrent of fury that directly disrupted the Materium!
Rumble!!!
A violent shockwave roared, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, as if it could engulf the place at any moment!
However, it only lasts for a very short moment!
That terrifying energy, powerful enough to disrupt the Materium and disrupt its order, was wrapped around the C'tan's body. The soft-shelled arthropods created by the Necrons absorbed it completely, leaving not a single trace!
The Void Dragon, which was furious just a moment ago, suddenly seemed to have been drained dry and fell silent.
Why did you stop?
Alvin remained motionless, gazing at the seemingly weakened Void Dragon, and grinned. "Oh, so you can't move. No wonder. This is your loyal servant, the eternal cage the Necron built specifically to imprison you. How could you possibly escape so easily?"
"Aaaaaah, humans!!!"
Upon hearing the word "servant," Magradros seemed to descend into rage, struggling wildly.
However, each violent movement was suppressed, accompanied by a surge of eerie green light.
In the end, after struggling several times, Magradros, who was only getting weaker, was panting heavily and could only stare at the damned human in front of her with resentment and venom in her eyes.
"Don't look at me like that, it's creepy," Alvin waved his hand, plopped down on the ground, and looked at the Void Dragon filled with hatred. He said calmly, "Now that you've finished your deal, it's my turn. How about we make a deal?"
"???"
This is outrageous! How dare a mere human mention the word "transaction" before the C'tan Void Dragon?
Just as the Void Dragon was about to refuse, it suddenly heard Alvin's next words. "If you agree, I don't mind releasing you from your cage, and even finding a 'vessel' specifically for you."
Okay, what kind of deal are you talking about?
The Void Dragon readily agreed.
Even if you don't know the exact meaning of the saying "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head," you can still understand the general idea.
