Chapter 857 The Destroyer Lord
Saulo has always been good at concealment, and its nature allows it to move freely in dark and damp places.
Many, many years ago, it was an excellent hunter, and just...
Hissing in annoyance, it shook its somewhat short-circuited head vigorously, and became the countless Destroyer. Over the years, its logical circuits have gradually been worn away.
In the long years, not all Necrons woke up 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 have been unable to recover after waking up from their long sleep - anger and despair filled the holes in their souls, causing these Necrons to turn Nihilism.
They no longer seek redemption or return to long-lost bodies, but only wish to push all other living things into the arms of death.
This is the Ouster, the self-appointed messenger of death.
It is not just his violence and madness that makes the Necron Expulser so different from the other Necron in the Tomb World. Many sleeping Necron are also insane, but this usually only enhances their strength. Natural quirks.
But even the humblest Necromancer longs 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.
Thus they will ruthlessly modify, add or remove any part of their bodies that would benefit their mission of slaughter: for example legs being removed to accommodate anti-gravity platforms, or becoming more flexible The three-legged prosthetics, the arms have been completely transformed into phase blades or gauss cannons, even the senses have been reconfigured to better serve targeting and prediction capabilities, and neural circuits have been modified to improve reaction times - at the expense of Any remaining emotions from the past.
But this is not to say that the expulsors do not feel fear. Although they may interpret the retreat as conserving resources, it is actually inspired by an unquenchable sense of self-preservation.
What’s truly disturbing is that Ousters can be found on nearly every tomb world, from the most remote limbo worlds to the noblest necron worlds, suggesting that this particular madness is driven by deep programming Driven by commands - possibly commands implanted by the C'tan during the transformation of millions of prebiotics.
But this does not mean that the expellers come from all walks of life in Necron society. Embracing nihilism with such cold-blooded determination requires a certain degree of freedom of personality, a level of personality that low-level Necrons cannot possess.
As such, Banishers almost without exception 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.
Saullo 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 make people When he ruled 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 to heart. His most important goal now is how to eliminate those organisms that pollute his sacred world!
He was almost going crazy.
Even the Necron Lords cannot escape the nihilistic madness of the Ouster. 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.
Although Ouster Lords often use various means to replace their legs, they tend to abandon the ranged weapons commonly used by other Ousters in favor of melee weapons,
Phase Scythes Favored by the Ouster Lords, they can take advantage of this melee weapon's huge range as they hover around their enemies.
Saulo has been quietly hovering around the two of them for a long time, but he can never find an opportunity.
As they continued to drag, they were getting closer and closer to the most important area of the tomb. Savullo 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 will not hesitate to send hundreds of Ousters to their deaths if only to bring down a single organism.
Saulo's sudden unknown anger was transmitted to the minds of the surrounding undead through the link of consciousness, and there was immediately a series of metal collisions in response.
Then he forced himself to stay calm, and a string of words floated through his consciousness, spreading outward 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, allowing itself to 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 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 auspicious device and found a danger signal approaching them.
"They finally decided not to hide anymore."
Talos whispered, his eyepieces constantly looking 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.
