Hearing Soshyan's answer, Talos smiled slightly.
"The word fraud is a good and appropriate one. Otherwise, how could Xerxes use a power of unknown origin so recklessly? How could he continue to develop it and get out of control later? "
"Then who has such motivation and ability, and what kind of intention does it have?"
"It's hard to say, destroy the gods? Asuryan? Or... the Necrons."
Talos straightened up and looked at Soshyan.
"Remember what you told me about the poisonous thorns and the heart-locking beetle?"
"Of course, you also have such a guess?"
"Tell me about yours."
"When I talked to Veronica about this, she mentioned that in the Necron era, that is, in the era of Necrontyr, there was a leadership called the Council of the Three Saints. After the ancient war in heaven, there were only three Saints left. It disbanded the Council and left its race to find a way to redemption, and the Necrontyr was transformed from the body into metal, so the only way to redemption is to transform back into the body again. Our analysis believes that the Necrontyr will not be stupid enough. The physical bodies that have been restored after so much hard work will choose the weak ones in the past. They will first look for a sample that is powerful enough, such as one that is powerful enough to isolate the subspace and control the power of the subspace, and then use this sample as a prototype to reshape their race. , and the only one that meets this series of standards is gray marrow."
Talos nodded.
"It's similar to what I thought. Although I don't know that they have such a story, but from the perspective of a group of soulless machines, if you want to restore the vitality and development potential of the race, the best way is to regain body and soul. You can see that many of the things created by Xerxes have a very distinct Necron style, which shows that at least for a certain period of time, there must have been a Necron who was 'teaching' him knowledge or technology, and it was never It would be an ordinary high-ranking member of the Necrons, otherwise it would not impress a primarch like Xerxes. It might even have a distinctive personality, incredible wisdom and knowledge, and the ability to speak and speak to Xerxes. Necron, I don’t think there are too many.”
Soshyan frowned.
"The Dreaded Dead and Ada are mortal enemies. The war between the two has lasted for countless years. How could they put their hope of resurrection in the methods of Lord Ada?"
"This is hard to say, but why do you think the Necrontyr and Ada are mortal enemies?"
"because."
When Talos said this, Soshyan did realize that things may not be so "reasonable". As a servant race fighting for the Old Saints, Ada's first motivation for the war with the Necrontyr must come from the Old Saints, and in the Old Saints After the destruction, the main conflicts between the two sides are only the past hatred and the struggle for galactic hegemony. And the Necrontyr's falling into sleep obviously means that the other party has temporarily given up the pursuit of galactic hegemony. From this point of view, the Battle of Heaven After it was over, there seemed to be no fundamental conflict of interest between the two.
And if it is placed in the era of Xerxes, Ada has experienced a great fall, and is obviously not qualified to pursue galactic hegemony for the time being, and the person who occupies galactic hegemony becomes a third party, that is, human beings, then Ada and Fear The deceased has lost even the last bit of conflict of interest.
Maybe racial hatred and prejudice still exist, but that only occurs when both sides have no top leader and the races are fighting on their own. Because of past hatred and prejudice battles, once both sides have a top leader, then they The premise of decision-making must be interests.
It's still unclear what Asuryan wants to do, but it should be related to reviving the Ada race.
What the three remaining saints of the Necrontyr want to do, at least according to Veronica, is to revive their own race.
Because both have lost their galactic hegemony, there does not seem to be a direct conflict in the revival of the two races, at least not for a long time. Instead, they may have to face the same obstacle——
The Empire of Man.
Or, can you add one more?
Like destroying the gods.
There are similar goals, the same obstacles, and no major conflicts of interest in a short period of time——
"Hiss, Talos, you gave me a terrible vision of the future."
Talos just shrugged.
"I simply said what I just thought."
"You are right. Ada and the Necrontyr may not be mortal enemies now. But this worries me even more. If Ashmarrow is a joint effort between Asuryan and the Necrontyr, why do I feel like I have become an accomplice? ?”
"What does it have to do with you? And this is just a guess. Even if it is true that these two families have united before, can they trust each other without reservation? It is impossible, let alone two races, they are two People who do business will also be wary of their partners, and make their own back-ups and arrangements. If the Necrontyr really trusted Gray Marrow that much, they would not have done anything like the Poisonous Thorns, let alone our humans. Lord, you don’t really just sit on the chair and can’t do anything, right? In this big game, what you have to do is to stabilize yourself and keep yourself on the active side, and let the rest Let them fight."
"Then do you think the Alexei family was involved in this big game very early on?"
"Is that what you think?"
"Otherwise it would be too coincidental. The Alexei family is the descendant of Ullanor, and the ancestors of Ullanor happened to have adjusted their genes in order to break the reproductive isolation from Ada. Then Xerxes was I had no choice but to rely on the power of gray marrow, but the gray marrow itself must be completely controlled by a hybrid of Ada blood. It happened that at this time, my ancestor Kailo met Xerxes by chance, and the two became acquainted. Later, Kailo's son Du Nan Geng successfully gave birth to a mixed-race son, Orode, with an Ada woman, and this Orode is the ancestor of my bloodline. This one is even more important. As I said just now, He racked his brains to overthrow the empire, and the seven hatreds were engraved on the monument for future generations to see. But before he took over the Ashes, Xerxes died, and then he died soon after. And everything he prepared didn't even have time to take effect. Do you think this is also a coincidence? Even the Alexey family, which has gradually become thinner over the past ten thousand years, can continue, which is quite incredible, until I Become a Space Marine and be implanted with gray marrow. A coincidence may be a coincidence, but if there are countless coincidences, then there must be some inevitability."
"Then do you think there is any power that can control the fate of your family from the time of the ancestors of Ullanor?"
"I don't know, but the only one with this ability is the Emperor, Asuryan, the Necrontyr. The Gods of Destruction, but the Emperor has no motive for doing this."
"If I'm not mistaken, the biggest suspect in your mind is Asuryan, the main god of Ada."
