Upon arriving in Terra, the Archmagos of the Departmento Munitorum, Angrak, immediately went to see Lion El'Jonson.

"So you're the professional talent Curze was talking about?"

"Angrak Augustus, I salute you, great Primarch."

According to the known intelligence, Angrak belongs to the expelled faction of the Mars Adeptus Mechanicus.

The specific reason was a difference in ideology and an open blasphemy against the Machine God.

After arriving in Nostramo, he settled there and became the first person in all of Nostramo to learn Necrons.

"Tell me your thoughts on the Adeptus Mechanicus, and what should be done next?"

"I have a way, sir."

As he spoke, Angrak stepped aside, revealing a box about half a person's height behind him.

What's inside? Xenos technology?

"This is an STC Template, sir."

"STC Template, are you sure?"

"Of course, sir. These are the things we took with us before we left the Mars Adeptus Mechanicus. They were originally intended for the reconstruction of Nostramo, but as you know, Nostramo doesn't need them now."

Looking at the thing in front of him, Lion El'Jonson gained some understanding of the extent of the madness of this Sage Angrak.

In fact, he also had Investigation materials on Angrak.

They champion Imperial Truth and are extreme materialists, and they deeply resent the current theocratic model of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

At a Mars Adeptus Mechanicus' meeting, he was ultimately expelled from Mars for publicly humiliating and denying the Machine God.

Lion El'Jonson had initially thought that this Archmagos was at most a bit crazy and eccentric, but now it seemed that the Archmagos" crazy" couldn't describe him at all.

In the entire Adeptus Mechanicus, who dares to use the STC Template for trading?

Aren't you worried they'll put you on the stake?

"If you want to catch a big fish, you have to be prepared to fall into the water."

Tell me your plans.

"Just imagine that a fragment of an STC Template was found in some Space Hulk. Trust me, sir, those tech-savvy idiots would rush over to see it."

"Then what?"

"Then a squad of Necrons will appear there."

"Entrapment?"

"I am not Judge, Your Honor; I am merely a sage of Evolutionists."

"We'll do it your way."

Soon, a Space Hulk was discovered within the Iron Hands's operational territory.

After scanning, a very strong signal emitted by the STC was detected inside.

"Sir, according to our detection, there is an almost complete STC module inside."

A nearly complete STC module.

In other words, with just a little repair, it could be put into use immediately, which was undoubtedly an important discovery for the Imperium.

"Immediately dispatch troops for a thorough search; find him no matter what."

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, news of the Iron Hands, the organization most deeply bound to the Adeptus Mechanicus, quickly reached Mars.

Of course, recovering STC technology from the Dark Age of Technology is one of the responsibilities of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and contacting them is perfectly reasonable.

Moreover, their army is regularly staffed with Archmagos of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

After overcoming numerous difficulties, they finally found the source of the signal.

"Sir, it's confirmed, it's STC Template."

Be careful, bring the things back.

They only discovered that the complete STC Template had been abandoned after they unearthed it.

"Damn it, whoever left such a complete STC Template here deserves to be burned at the stake!"

"It's Augustus." One of the accompanying Adeptus Mechanicus Archmagos quickly recognized the origin of this STC Template.

Who is Augustus?

"Augustus was an Archmagos of the Adeptus Mechanicus who championed Imperial Truth and was an extreme materialist; his faction called itself the Evolutionists."

"Augustus? Evolutionists?"

"That's not..."

"Yes, it's Augustus from Nostramo."

"Then why did he leave the STC Template here?"

"According to that madman, if mechanical research cannot serve humanity, it's just toilet paper. Clearly, he's treating this STC Template like toilet paper."

"Arrogant!"

"Alright, let's retrieve them first. These Relic have been lost for too long; it's time for them to return to the Adeptus Mechanicus."

The accompanying Adeptus Mechanicus, looking at the nearly complete STC module, could not hide the fanaticism and Greed in their eyes.

This STC module was gained and lost, then regained, and now it has returned to the hands of the Adeptus Mechanicus. This must be Miracle of Omnissiah!

Praise be to Omnissiah!

Praise be to Omnissiah!

Praise be to Omnissiah!

After three devout prayers, the Adeptus Mechanicus personnel began collecting the STC Templates.

However, they soon discovered something was wrong after they lifted the external technological blockade.

"Sir, as of now, we are unable to lift the internal technological blockade."

"Useless! This is STC Template that was leaked from my Adeptus Mechanicus. You can't even solve the technical problems of our Adeptus Mechanicus? What use are you?!"

"Sir, this is clearly not a technique of the Adeptus Mechanicus, or rather, it's not a standard technique of the Adeptus Mechanicus."

Unconventional technology?

"This madman actually left behind even the Adeptus Mechanicus's unconventional technologies here!"

The Archmagos of the Adeptus Mechanicus arrived before the STC Template, and after a single glance, he immediately knew what it was.

Necrons.

In fact, they had discovered and studied many of the technological products of the Necrons, but when reporting to the Imperium, they reported the danger level of the Necrons as very low.

Because when these Xenos are usually discovered, they are in a state of dormancy.

I never expected that bastard Angrak would use Necrons technology to block the STC Template.

Leave it to me.

The moment this Archmagos took over, the entire technology blockade module underwent logical self-destruction.

"Look what I've found! A bunch of petty thieves."

Almost instantly upon hearing the sound, everyone in the group raised their guns.

Then they saw a group of Necrons.

The STC Template that Angrak took away, the relationship between Nostramo and the Necrons, plus the Necrons that has now appeared by sheer coincidence.

This is a trap!

"Angrak! I know you're here, come out!"

"Nonsense, kill them."

The Necrons launched the first attack, but they were quickly killed by the Iron Hands's Astartes and the Adeptus Mechanicus's Skitarii.

Take your things with you.

Ultimately, the STC Template was recycled by the Adeptus Mechanicus, and everything turned out alright.

In Nostramo, watching these figures emerge from his Time Corridor, Trazyn smiled slightly.

"It's my turn, Imperium of Man, prepare to face the wrath!"

Trazyn didn't care about the Imperium of Man's offense against the Necrons, because the Necrons Imperium was too large and the Silent King was merciful enough.

However, the nobles must pay the price for their persecution of Han Mingxuan!
