They followed the forged blackstone corridor inward.
The soldiers of the Second Army Expeditionary Force, weapons in hand, could clearly see the difference between this world and Ozrax.
Ozrax was like an abandoned ancient ruin.
This place, meanwhile, resembled a newly built nest.
It was filled with vast open spaces and narrow circular corridors.
Everywhere stood unfinished structures forged by Canoptek Spyders.
Those Canoptek Spyders and Canoptek Scarabs had all gone to build armies, warriors, and soldiers.
As a result, Canoptek Spyders and Canoptek Scarabs were scarcely visible here.
After much difficulty, they avoided the low-ranking Necron soldiers crawling out of the "pools," then blew up their regeneration pools and officially entered the spacetime corridors deep within the tomb. They only needed to obtain the data inside and insert the universal key into their data center.
Now that those things had awakened, they needed to move quickly.
A soldier from the expeditionary army stepped onto the ground.
With a crunch.
Like something bursting.
A Canoptek Spyder was crushed to death.
Still.
Thankfully, it was only one Canoptek Spyder.
These spiders, about the size of a human fist, did not seem threatening at all. They merely crawled over the ground, repairing certain cracks and areas dissolved by Gauss disintegration beams.

There must have been a problem within their ranks.
Perhaps it had been caused by the hypercube
