Chapter 312 The Terrifying Return of the Silent King

"Commander, our warships have achieved our objectives, and our weapons have been upgraded!"

"Now, we can conquer all the enemies that stand in our way."

"Commander, if we don't act now, the dark side of the galaxy will be reclaimed by those skeletons and those lackeys of the false emperor!"

While they were developing.

The space necromancers are expanding like madmen, with signs of their awakening constantly appearing in various regions. Once awakened, these chaotic territories will be quickly reclaimed, and the areas occupied by chaos will lose all information in a very short time.

They sent soldiers to those worlds to provide support.

Once they encounter a high-level necromancer dynasty, or a superior necromancer empire with hegemony, no matter how many fleets they send, they will not be able to gain any advantage in that world.

On the other hand, humans are even more despicable.

Those humans seemed to be confronting them.

Almost all the Chaos outposts they had set up around the Gamma World were ruthlessly wiped out by those guys.

Only a very small number of chaotic forces escaped from the heart of the Gamma world.

Those who escaped refused to return to the Gamma World afterward, as if the expeditionary force of the Gamma World were a monstrous flood.

The two sides' forces are located in the eastern part of the Extreme Starfield and the northern part of the Gothic Starfield, respectively, exactly at opposite ends of the Great Rift.

However, as both sides continue to expand their power, the territories of these chaotic forces will eventually become smaller and smaller, and in the end, they will probably be completely occupied by these two families.

They've expended so much effort and energy, yet they still can't get to the other side of the empire. They're truly destined to become clowns in this war.

"We need Vashtor to provide us with more and more powerful weapons!"

Abaddon, witnessing the awakening of the Necromancers in space, realized that his time had come.

If Vashtor wants to obtain the treasure, he will probably have to get past the space necromancers first.

Now that the Necromancers have awakened, their weapons are also deadly to Vashtor. Don't be fooled by the fact that Vashtor is a demigod of the warp, capable of destroying a starship with a casual gesture. But against the terrifying advanced dynasty of the Necromancers, their weapons are like shotguns.

"We will act!" Abaddon pressed down on the black legion warriors, who were full of fighting spirit. All he could do was to let these warriors play their most appropriate role at the most appropriate time.

Currently, his strength is still far too little compared to that of the Gamma World and the Space Necromancers.

He needs to squeeze something more out of Vashtor.

Vashtor wants to obtain the things of the Gamma World, and now he can only cooperate with himself. No one else will help him except himself, and only he has the power to help him.

Long Linxing.

Vashtor is using some chaotic sorcery to transfer some soldiers into newly researched Abomination-type demon engines. These powerful weapons, infused with the strength of Astartes, have a bloodlust and fighting spirit that allow them to unleash a hundred or even a thousand times more power than ordinary demon engines.

"Buzz!"

Deep within the planet Longlin, various items float atop a colossal black cube-shaped structure. A suit of armor exceeding seventy meters in height stands around its core—an Emperor-class psionic titan. No one knows how it was obtained from the Empire. These are spoils of war collected by Vashtor, and even the weakest of these spoils are relics worth several worlds to humanity.

Even some of the Four Gods' weapons are on it.

He had also collected a spear from Jiuquan, which had wounded Horus in several past battles, torn his soul into countless pieces, and then completely transformed Horus into a Chaos Demon.

The most crucial element is a key that is only partially assembled.

The patterns on this key are incomprehensible, and this key was not forged from ordinary ore, but rather using some kind of physical world rule for forging. This is because these things were scattered at every node of the timeline and were eventually retrieved by him in the past timeline.

And now.

The key vibrated again.

This means that another force has already obtained all the remaining parts of the key.

Both the other party and themselves only need one more key fragment from the other party's possession to completely complete the puzzle.

"Gamma World!"

There is no other possibility but the Gamma World.

If there were other keys besides the Gamma World, he would need to spend a lot of time searching for the other fragments. But now, all that's left is the fragment of the Gamma World key.

The goal is now clear.

The bad news is that the opponent has a large number of key fragments, and his Dragon Forest Star is almost completely exposed to the opponent's sight. The opponent can locate the area where his remaining keys are located. If he were in the Gamma World, he would probably already be locating Dragon Forest Star by now.

Realizing that he had been locked onto by the Gamma World, Vashtor couldn't help but feel anxious.

Theoretically speaking, the more advanced the technology in the entire real universe, the more powerful its force.

The technology of those space necromancers could theoretically become nourishment for him.

However, the sad truth is that the Necromancers in space have no souls, and their technology also lacks a machine spirit. This means that those weapons cannot provide them with sustenance. Although the Gamma World has souls, they have also sealed off the machine spirits of their machines. The Tau Empire, while also lacking machine spirits, possesses artificial intelligence, which allows them to be supplied with sustenance.

The news that the space necromancers were resurrecting could not be kept from him.

However, he didn't have a good solution for the resurrection of the space necromancers.

He can only fight against the Necromancers by joining the great game of the subspace as soon as possible and becoming a mastermind. Otherwise, the Necromancers will be the 'Grim Reaper Yuna' who will bury him. Once the Necromancers have time, he will be the first one they want to eliminate.

Vashtor was also anxious. He needed to get Abaddon to launch the Great Expedition as soon as possible to obtain the key fragments he needed. Otherwise, he would have almost no action later on, because if the Four Gods really launched a full-scale invasion, he would only become a pawn of the Four Gods.

The current situation is that all parties are accumulating war, preparing for a major conflict.

Everyone is preparing.

And next, any outbreak of war anywhere could trigger the explosion of the entire galactic powder keg.

"My lord, we have wizards who have risked their lives to conduct calculations. Our current probability of defeating the enemy is extremely low. No, it's not just extremely low, but we have seen countless possibilities, but we have only seen one possibility: that we can obtain the key. This possibility is that in the past forty-eight hours, because the Silent King has returned, and the Silent King has also set his sights on our target."

Has the Silent King returned?

This news surprised even Vashtor.

It should be noted that in the entire galaxy, there is only one person who can truly travel across star systems, and that is the Silent King Slazark, the Necromancer of Space.

This is an absolutely terrifying guy.

His terror even instilled fear in Vashtor.

The other side definitely has a way to erase him from the warp.

Slazark is a terrifying being that existed during the War of Heaven.

He once led all the fearful dead in the hunt for those star gods after the war in Heaven.

Those Star Gods at that time were extremely powerful. Slazark personally destroyed the most powerful Star God called 'The Burner'. This was not a Star God fragment, but the most powerful Star God on the same level as the Void Dragon. The Emperor only shattered a Void Dragon Star God fragment when he was at 30k.

That's what makes Slazar so terrifying.

Moreover, Slazark possesses a portion of his soul that was not completely devoured.

In order to devour the souls of the entire Fearless race, the Star God deceived them by transferring their physical data to the 'Eternal' living metal. Afterward, the Star God greedily devoured all the souls of the Fearless, leaving behind a portion of them like remnants.

Slazark, along with some other Fearless Ones, may have retained a trace of their souls that had not been completely devoured by the enemy. This trace of soul ensured that Slazark did not lose his way for the time being. In order to save the entire race, Slazark put all the Fearless Ones into a deep sleep. In order to prevent the Fearless Ones from being enslaved and restricted, he also lifted the security agreement restrictions on all the Fearless Ones. He returned his power to the dynasty of all the Fearless Ones.

Then let them sleep for 60 million years.

He promised that over the next 60 million years, he would find everything that could save the undead race in space.

As long as it can save the race of space undead, even if he wanders outside for hundreds of millions or even billions of years.

However, even after traveling for countless years in the Milky Way and other extragalactic systems, searching for various methods, he still could not find a way to restore his soul. As the time of his slumber continued to pass, the dynasty of the space necromancers began to die. At first, it was the weakest, and then it became the powerful space necromancer dynasty.

In the end, they still received a message from the Milky Way.

In other extragalactic galaxies, he discovered many civilizations and made contact with many worlds. It is unimaginable what kind of technology and knowledge he acquired in other extragalactic galaxies.

"Soul. Return"
