The Emperor’s Angel of Death

“Do you think this is a public restroom? Coming and going as you please? Did I permit you to leave?”

Staring at the slightly uneasy Trazyn, Sotha Nul slowly stood up, walked in front of him, and looked down at this galaxy-class thief.

“Do you know Fabius?”

“Fabius? Oh, you mean that ridiculous fellow who is obsessed with flesh witchcraft but thinks he has escaped the control of the Warp? What about him?”

“Did he ever make a deal with you? What was the content of the deal? What did you steal from the Emperor's Children Legion?”

Faced with this series of questions, Trazyn showed some distress, even scratching his metallic head.

“Tsk tsk tsk, this is a matter of breaking the confidentiality agreement, but well”

Suddenly, he snapped his fingers, and Sotha Nul immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly stretched out his hand, but the other party had already turned into countless light spots and disappeared in place.

“Hiss this guy.”

Just as Trazyn left, the Flayed Shrine suddenly lit up with dazzling blood, and then doors on the walls opened, and many Flayers staggered out and knelt down after seeing Sotha Nul.

Seeing this scene, Sotha Nul suddenly had an idea.

“Could it be that he is reminding me that the Maynarkh Dynasty has a way to seal the Flayed Shrine?”

Sotha Nul was a little disturbed by this sudden accident, and sat back on the throne to think.

He had always thought that the Flayed Shrine was an absolutely safe space, and it might even be a virtual space existing in his mental world, but now a Necron Overlord swaggered in, which shows that this place is not as safe as he thought, so does it mean that some existences can also enter? At the same time, this is not a virtual space, but a real space.

He didn't say a word, and began to sort out the whole process of the incident

Forge World, Genestealer riots, a Tech-Priest of the anti-Silent King stole the Flayer Skull, the Reysan Dynasty awakened, Occam found the target, he obtained the Flayer Skull, and Trazyn the Infinite also appeared on the battlefield

Wait

Sotha Nul realized that he had overlooked something.

The Flayer Skull is a treasure that the Reysan Dynasty is responsible for guarding. How did the Tech-Priest Lana steal it? He hadn't asked about this in detail before. Lana said it was something from their organization.

Could it be that some force deliberately let Lana steal this thing, and deliberately stimulate the Genestealer riots, leading him over?

Thinking about it carefully, the Flayer's matter was indeed too "simple". The Silent King couldn't have failed to notice the existence of Valgul, but he just let Sotha Nul subdue him like that?

He thought he was not in the galaxy before, but judging from the Necron's series of actions, this bastard must be nesting in some corner of the galaxy, and even secretly monitoring Sotha Nul's every move.

Then Trazyn's behavior is very intriguing.

Is he here to warn him, or to do something, or has he tampered with the Flayer Skull before it was taken out of the Reysan Dynasty, or is it that he secretly assisted Lana in getting this thing? But he checked the Flayed Shrine and the things in his hand, but found nothing unusual.

Sotha Nul thought about it, and suddenly felt a little uneasy about this trip to the Orpheus Sector, but now is not the time to hesitate, he must act, at least to know what the Maynarkh Dynasty is like, and what kind of strength it has

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, he stood up and walked towards an open blood-colored door.

Arriving at the Bone Dynasty again, Valgul was still holding their terrifying banquet, apparently just finished a "hunt". The prey was naturally mostly humans, but Sotha Nul had no intention of managing these Flayers, and their twisted minds could hardly correctly understand any instructions - except for killing instructions. It was difficult to manage them even if he wanted to.

Of course, Sotha Nul's sudden appearance also startled Valgul, but it quickly turned into joy. After all, the Crimson God had not descended for a long time, even though he had performed several large-scale sacrifices.

“My loyal servant, do you know the Maynarkh Dynasty?”

In the Bone Palace, when Sotha Nul asked this question, Valgul showed some kind of strangeness. Although his metal face covered in flesh could not show "expression", Sotha Nul could feel a kind of hesitation, or concern.

Although Valgul's memory seemed to have lost a large part, he always remembered some key things, such as the Sautekh Dynasty, so he would naturally not forget the Maynarkh Dynasty, which was as famous as Sautekh.

“They have paid the price for their blasphemy, and the entire dynasty has disappeared into the darkness, my lord, they are not worth mentioning.”

Hearing the word blasphemy from Valgul's mouth, Sotha Nul knew what it meant - he, or the Flayer himself, destroyed the Maynarkh Dynasty. After a short thought, he said slowly:

“I was reborn from the brokenness, and heard the news of their resurrection. Bone Lord, they have not disappeared into the darkness.”

“My lord, then be careful.”

Valgul responded in a very serious tone:

“Although these blasphemers are disgusting and lack education, their barbarity is indeed a trouble to some extent.”

“Does the dynasty have any people from the Maynarkh side?”

“My lord, no.”

“Hmm?”

Sotha Nul noticed something was wrong. According to the Necron Codex, Maynarkh should be the first dynasty cursed by the Flayers. Logically speaking, the number of Flayers should be very large. How could there be no Flayers entering the Flayed Shrine?

Unless, they have some way to resist the call of the Flayed Shrine

But this raises a question. Without the Maynarkh Flayers, the Flayed Shrine would not have a passage to reach Orpheus, and the Bone Dynasty is far away in the Ultima Segmentum. It would take an unknown amount of time to get to such a distant location.

It seems that the situation has really become a double block. The Imperial Palace is not convenient, and the Bone Dynasty is not very useful.

“Valgul, do you know where the Maynarkh Dynasty is?”

Faced with this question, the Bone Lord could only shake his head.

“Sorry, my lord, your humble servant does not know the hiding place of the blasphemers.”

Originally, Sotha Nul pinned his hopes on the power of the Bone Dynasty, but now it seems that it is not feasible. After all, there is no Eldar Webway for such convenient movement, and the Bone Dynasty is not without enemies. If he rashly launches a large-scale long-distance expedition, the old nest may be taken by the Sautekh - in fact, Valgul also reported these things to Sotha Nul. With the expansion of the Sautekh Dynasty's power, they have begun to have fleets operating near the Bone Dynasty, which is obviously not for tourism.

Although Sotha Nul doesn't have any "feelings" for the Flayers, they are a useful knife after all. If they are easily worn or broken, it would be a pity. After all, this is a trump card, and many people, including Sol and others, don't know about it. Kayan only knows that he has the Flayer Skull, and doesn't know about the existence of the Bone Dynasty.
