Savulo has always been good at hiding, and its nature allows it to move freely in dark and damp places.
Many, many years ago, it was an excellent hunter, just...
Hissing in annoyance, it shook its somewhat short-circuited head vigorously. After becoming the Destroyer for countless years, its logical circuits had gradually been worn away.
Over the long years, not all Necrons awakened safely as expected.
Over millions of years, some Necron will suffer physical damage. The defective body will cause the Necron's epidermis to slowly decay, eroding memory pathways and synapses. Others will be infected by the Skinner virus and become endless pursuit of blood and flesh. monster.
There are also some Necrons whose physical forms are intact, but their spirits cannot be recovered after waking up from their long sleep - anger and despair fill the holes in their souls, turning these Necrons to nihilism.
They no longer seek redemption or return to their long-lost bodies, only wishing to push all other living things into the arms of death.
This is the Ouster, the self-appointed messenger of death.
It's not just his violence and madness that makes the Necron Exorcist so different from the other Necron of the Tomb World. Many sleeping Necron are also insane, but this usually only enhances their natural quirks.
But even the humblest of the Necromancers yearns to return to the bodies of the Necrontyr, and their current mechanical bodies are all remnants of the living, breathing, soulful beings they once were. No further modification or damage to this body will be tolerated. For the Ousters, everything is exactly the opposite. Everything for them is wrapped up in the vital goal of annihilation.
therefore
They will ruthlessly modify, add, or remove any part of their bodies that would benefit their mission of slaughter: legs removed to accommodate an anti-gravity platform, or arms transformed into more flexible tripods. Also completely transformed into phase blades or gauss cannons, even the senses are reconfigured to better serve targeting and prediction abilities, neural circuits modified to improve reaction times - at the expense of any remaining emotion from the past.
That’s not to say that the evictions don’t feel fear, and while they may interpret their retreat as conserving resources, it’s actually motivated by an unquenchable sense of self-preservation.
What’s truly disturbing is that Ousters can be found on nearly every tomb world, from the remotest limbo worlds to the noblest necron worlds, suggesting that this particular madness is driven by the dictates of a deep program— This may be an order implanted by the C'tan during the transformation process millions of years ago.
But this does not mean that the Ousters come from all strata of Necron society. Embracing nihilism with such cold-blooded determination requires a certain freedom of personality, a level of personality that lower-level Necrons cannot possess.
As a result, Banishers almost invariably appear in Immortals, Lich Guards, and even Deathmarks.
So most Ousters are simply exiled to the fringes of their tomb world, living in isolated fortresses ruled by Ouster Lords.
Savullo is a Destroyer Lord. He was once Apophas' right-hand man, but after joining the Destroyer Cult, Apophas banished him to the edge of the tomb.
Perhaps the Expeller has lost most of his emotions, but the most basic logical circuit of hatred is still active in Savullo's mind, so when the mysterious guy appeared in front of him and claimed that he could rule the tomb world , Saulo agreed without hesitation.
So he led the Cult of Destroyers into battle against Apophas's guards.
Now that Apophas is dead, naturally, he, Saulo, will become the only master of this world.
As for that sneaky guy, Savulo doesn't take it seriously. His most important goal now is to eliminate those organisms that pollute his sacred world!
He was almost going crazy.
Not even the Necron Lords can escape the nihilistic madness of the Ouster, and when a Necron Lord succumbs to this madness, a great threat to all life is born.
While many Necron Lords are afflicted with various forms of madness, the madness of the Banisher Lords is something else entirely.
Like other Destroyers, Destroyer Lords modify their bodies and minds so that they are better suited to accomplish their primary goal of eradicating all life.
While Ouster Lords often use various means to replace their legs, they tend to forego the ranged weapons typically used by other Ousters in favor of melee weapons.
The Phase Scythe is favored by the Ouster Lords, allowing them to take full advantage of this melee weapon's huge range as they hover around their enemies.
Savulo has been quietly hovering around the two of them for a long time, but he can't find an opportunity.
As they continued to drag, they were getting closer and closer to the most important area of the tomb. Savulo knew very well what Apopas's responsibilities were.
In the darkness, green eyes stared closely at the intruders, assessing their strength.
It can feel the consciousness of other Destroyers hiding in the shadows around it, and it will sacrifice them all for victory, although it does cherish them.
But it would not hesitate to send hundreds of Ousters to their deaths if only to bring down a single organism.
The unknown anger that Saulo suddenly had was transmitted to the minds of the surrounding undead through the link of consciousness, and there was a series of metal collisions in response.
Then he forced himself to stay calm, and a string of words floated through his consciousness, spread out through the voices of the deceased.
He once again focused his attention on the intruder, considering his next move.
No, it can't take this risk.
The thing being guarded cannot be discovered.
It leaned forward, letting itself feel the bright, fiery consciousness of the invaders through the senses of the other Expulsors.
Although it was willing to sacrifice any warrior for its own goals, it had no reason not to take advantage of every possible advantage, so it summoned the thing-
"Target found, 2 o'clock direction."
Soshyan looked at his augur and saw the danger signal approaching them.
"They finally decided not to hide anymore."
Talos whispered, his eyepieces constantly searching for figures moving through the shadows.
The action patterns of these undead are obviously more cautious than before. They always hide themselves through various obstacles when moving.
Once he saw a smooth head and shiny metal, but other than that he never saw the alien form with his own eyes.
