The Void Dragon: I Think I've Been Tricked Again!
Void Dragon never expected that, just when he thought his plan had failed and he would be trapped in this eternal cage, enduring endless pain, there would be a day when things would take a turn for the better and he would see a glimmer of hope!
What do you want?
Magradros was getting impatient, so she decided to lay her cards on the table. Since she couldn't fool him anyway, she had to resort to other methods, such as... bribery!
"Just tell me, and I can make it happen for you!" he said proudly.
In fact, the Void Dragon does indeed have the qualifications, but the "C'tan" who possesses the most advanced technology...
What can't you get if you want it?
Moreover, they're not those useless bunch of "Night Haunter" and "Fraudsters" who do nothing but kill and deceive.
The knowledge and technology he possessed could easily arm an Imperium and subdue a weak race.
From then on, they embarked on the road to prosperity!
What reason is there to reject knowledge?
Whether it's feasible or not, I'll agree first and think about it later. After we escape from here, I'll find a chance to kill this arrogant human in front of me!
"It's very simple."
Alvin, sitting cross-legged on the ground, looked at the anxious Void Dragon and a familiar smile appeared on his face, "If you help me find a way to repel the Hive Fleet, I'll let you out of here, how about it?"
That's it?!
The Void Dragon froze for a few seconds.
In his vision, the conditions Alvin proposed should have been even more difficult to fulfill, such as conquering the Milky Way.
They possess powerful weapons, etc., but after all that, this is all they've got?
Li once suspected that this kid was cheating!
"Don't worry, I'm not one of your C'tan." Alvin shrugged and cupped his hands in greeting. "My condition is simple: give me a way to repel the Hive Fleet, and I'll release you from here. Don't try to trick me; I swear on the name of the Emperor!"
It must be said that the title "Emperor" is indeed very useful in the Warhammer Universe; even the C'tan know of this human "Perpetual."
"Okay, no problem!"
The deal proposed by Alvin was hardly a difficult matter for a Void Dragon, who was once suspected to be the strongest C'tan (after the Night Haunter were destroyed) and possessed incredible technology.
The Tyran Hive Fleet might be a very troublesome, even catastrophic, problem for many races in the universe, but to them, it's just a trivial matter.
"But to defeat the Zergling fleet in a short time, it's difficult for me to do so with my current strength," the Void Dragon said. "Unless you can help me find a single fragment."
"Then just pretend we've never met."
Without hesitation, Alvin patted his behind and prepared to leave.
"Wait, wait, don't go!" Seeing that Alvin was about to leave, the Void Dragon couldn't sit still any longer.
I'm really scared. If I can't escape this time, once the Necron repair this cage, I'll never be able to escape again!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; don't miss it!
The Void Dragon called out to Alvin, who was about to leave, his tone even carrying a hint of pleading. "I was just joking. I have another way. Don't go!"
"Why bother?" Alvin sighed, looking at him with disdain. "I'm making a sincere deal with you, but you insist on playing tricks. If you talk nonsense again next time, don't call me. You can just stay here and wait for the next person who's meant to be."
"Yes, yes, let's not be cunning--"
The Void Dragon cursed inwardly, but said in a humble tone, "I can also help you create a special weapon that can channel the energy of the Materium. The downside is that it's relatively slow, but once completed, destroying the entire Hive Fleet shouldn't be a problem!"
"Real?"
"Truly, I swear on the name of 'Magradros,' on the honor of the C'tan!"
"... Do you C'tan even have concepts like honor, shame, or morality?" Alvin asked skeptically, looking him up and down. What honor could a ball of energy possibly have to offer?
The Void Dragon was frustrated, but couldn't argue his way out of it.
"Fine, I believe you." Alvin shook his head. This thing couldn't be bound by Warp oath, so he had no choice but to trust him. "Tell me how to make it, and then I'll let you out of here."
However, the Void Dragon became wary, staring at him. "How can I trust you to let me out of here after you know how to create it?"
"I swear in the name of the Emperor!"
Alvin, with a serious expression, raised three fingers and swore an oath to the Emperor far away in Terra.
"No, you must swear an oath to the Warp with your soul!" This time, the Void Dragon was Genestealer and clever, directly making Alvin swear an oath to the Warp with his own soul.
In this way, if Alvin breaks his oath, he will be punished by the Warp!
"Alright, no problem." Alvin sneered inwardly, then said matter-of-factly, "I, Alvin Valshius, swear by my soul to the Warp that if the Void Dragon reveals the method for creating the weapon, I will release him from his cage and provide him with a 'vessel.' Is that acceptable?"
The Void Dragon stared at him, and only after confirming that the oath was correct did it relax. "No problem, I'll tell you the manufacturing method now."
"How are you going to tell me?" Alvin glanced at him. "You're not planning to let me get close again before taking over my body, are you?"
Of course not!
The Void Dragon shifted its gaze, exerting all its strength to merge a wisp of its consciousness into a piece of Living Metal: "I have already inscribed the manufacturing method here."
Alvin was about to reach for it when he saw the Void Dragon warily pull it back. "Wait, what about what you promised me?"
"What's the rush?"
Alvin, exasperated, conjured a suit of metal armor covered in spikes out of thin air. "How about that?"
I went through a lot of trouble to get this armor; exchanging it for your skills is definitely a good deal!
With just one glance, the Void Dragon was captivated.
The metal used to forge that armor was even more suitable for him than Living Metal, not only perfectly accommodating his consciousness but also providing him with energy!
"That's great, that's great!"
He stared intently at the armor, his voice trembling with excitement. "What metal is this? Such a powerful affinity, it's as if it was made to be a vessel for the C'tan!"
"Oh, this thing is 'Uru'."
Looking at the Void Dragon that stirred his heart, Alvin smiled as if he "felt the same way," but his smile was mixed with some unclear emotions.
Give it to me!
"I can't wait to say it, "the Void Dragon said.
"Good.
Without saying a word, Alvin threw the "Destroyer" over.
As for the trap?
What a joke! He's Void Dragon!
C'tan who has mastered the most advanced technology and knowledge!
Magradros sneered inwardly. Apart from the Necron who knew the secrets of the C'tan, he didn't believe anyone else in this universe could imprison him!
With this in mind, Magradros' confidence grew even stronger. Without further hesitation, he used the only "loophole" in the cage to transfer his consciousness into the metal armor.
"Welcome to the 'container' I prepared for you, Void Dragon Magradros." Alvin's efforts to get the Void Dragon to willingly merge into this "container" were finally worthwhile!
Looking at Alvin's smug face, the Void Dragon's heart skipped a beat. "Oh no, have I been tricked again?"
Wait, why did you say "again"?
