Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 55: The Ancient Death Awakened
Tens of millions of years ago, the Warhammer warp was not the hopeless dunghill it is now.

In that era, in the physical universe, in the ancient galaxy, there existed a being that pushed physical technology to its limits.

They are called Necrontyr.

The Necrontyr predate humans by billions of years and are an intelligent and powerful race.

Unfortunately, the intense cosmic radiation released by their home star made the Necrontyr a short-lived and gloomy race.

For them, life was once just an unstable spark, and death was the eternal theme.

Necrontyr culture is centered around death and the grave.

They tried to develop technology to find ways to prolong their lives, but to no avail. They fled their home planet on a spaceship, but even though they had controlled most of the galaxy, they were still a short-lived species that lived and died in a day.

As their territory continued to expand, the Necrontyr split into different dynasties and fell into the bitter sea of ​​civil war.

In order to prevent the Necrontyr from being destroyed by civil war, the Triumvirate, the supreme ruler of the Necrontyr, decided to launch a war against the Old Ones.

The Old Ones are the oldest and most powerful intelligent beings in the galaxy, and possess an eternal lifespan that makes the Necrontyr jealous.

The great war between the Necrontyr and the Old Ones is called the War in Heaven. It is the most brutal war in the galaxy. In comparison, all the wars launched by the Human Empire in both the 30k and 40k eras are as gentle as a fight between children.

However, the Necrontyrs were unaware that their cruel fate actually came from the Star Gods. They were born from the Big Bang, fed on stars, and were happy to feast on the souls of intelligent life. The Star Gods were truly living gods, and it was the contact with the Star Gods that doomed the Necrontyrs to a short and sad life.

Later, as the War in Heaven intensified, even hundreds of generations of Necrontyrdom fought to defeat the Old Ones.

In the end, in order to win and survive, the Necrontyr made a deal with the Star God, and was doomed from then on.

The Necrontyr used living metal to give form to the Star God, and under the Star God's guidance, they also carried out mechanical transformation on their entire clan, replacing their weak flesh with living metal, and gained the immortal life that all Necrontyr had always dreamed of.

However, mechanical ascension is just a scam of the Star God. What came out of the mechanical transformation device are just robots that inherited the personality and memory of the Necrontyr. The real Necrontyr's body and soul have become food for the Star God.

Since that day, the Necrontyr have been extinct, and only the alien creatures known as the Necrons remain.

The Necrons and the C'tan joined forces to finally defeat the Old Ones, and the Necrons then took revenge on the C'tan who had deceived them.

After an extremely brutal war, most of the Star Gods were shattered into pieces and turned from masters of the Necrontyr into slaves of the Necrons.

At the same time, the Necrons suffered heavy losses after a series of wars. In order to recuperate, the Silent King, the supreme ruler of the Necrons, issued an order for a collective hibernation.

Now most of the Undead Dynasties are still dormant, with only a few individuals still active.

The impact of the War in Heaven was too much and too widespread.

The three great gods of the High Heaven were all born in the War in Heaven, namely Khorne, Tzeentch and Nurgle.

The Eldar and the Greenskin Orcs were also once biological weapons promoted or created by the Old Ones.

However, the Necrons that are still active now are obviously not interested in whether they are the main responsible party for this major Kia space accident.

For example, among the Necrons, a race that is full of paranoia and psychopaths, there is the Enlightened Xerath, who is the most insane one.

Xerath the Illuminator is one of the most powerful scientists among the Necrons and the direct implementer of the Necrons' bio-transformation program technology.

Unlike most Necrons who retained their memories and were furious when they discovered they had been deceived, Xerath was very satisfied with his metal body.

This meant that he didn't need to rest or eat, and he had endless life to devote himself to his research.

Among countless scientific researches, Zerath's favorite is the study of life.

In addition to being the Necrons' most outstanding technician, he is also the Necrons' most megalomaniac.

Zerath had always believed that he would become an immortal life of a higher dimension similar to the Star God, and mechanical transformation was only the first step. In order to prepare for the evolution that would come at an unknown time, Zerath believed that he needed to accumulate knowledge first, especially knowledge related to life.

For example, in his current hiding place, countless lives from different worlds are trapped in a stasis field.

Among them are humans, green-skinned orcs, dark elves and many more messy alien life forms.

Even though such experiments had been done countless times in the past, Zeratul still watched his own experiments with great interest.

For example, dissecting a living organism at the molecular level.

There are also various kinds of bizarre experiments.

Compared with Xerath's experiments, the torture in the Great Tomb cannot be called torture, it should be called the caress of love.

Zerath has just received a large number of new experimental subjects, and now he is constantly wandering around the laboratories on his four mechanical legs.

Although Zerath could directly observe all the laboratories, he also liked the sense of ritual of seeing directly with his own eyes.

Just then, he received a communication from a person identified as a dirty thief.

Trazyn the Infinite?

Why did that crazy guy who is keen on collecting all kinds of things suddenly contact me?
Xerath does not have a good relationship with Trazim the Endless, one of the overlords of the Necrons, or rather, he does not have a good relationship with any Necrons nobles, but Trazim the Endless's popularity is not much inferior to his.

But no matter what, there should be no need for Tarazin to contact Xerath.

Because of this, Zerath also judged that Taraxin's active contact must be about some important situation, so Zerath connected to Taraxin's communication.

"Tarasim, what do you want to say? I warn you not to have any unnecessary ideas."

"You should take a look at this first."

Taraxin sent over a series of data and videos.

As Zeratul watched, the temperature of his thought circuits began to soar.

"Interesting life forms, very interesting, incredible. Where were these found?"

"It's at this coordinate. Go through the portal above and you will arrive in this world."

Trazyn sent another coordinate, and Zeratul was silent for a while before continuing to ask.

"what do you want?"

"Haha, don't you think these will be crucial to our future?"

"I don't need anything special. Being able to directly witness the resurgence of my race and to collect that moment is enough."

"Hmph, madman."

"Xerath, that's the only thing I don't want you to say."

"You only told me such important information?"

"Of course it's impossible. I have already contacted the Storm King. Soon, my tribe will send our own army into this world."

"Hahaha, hahahaha, I will go, it's very interesting. Maybe my research on the soul can be solved in this world."

Then the ancient overlord began to awaken gradually, its army began to gather in a specific direction, and the Ancient Death was about to step into the battlefield.
