The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Faced with Sotha Nul's precise request, Callidus couldn't answer. He really didn't have much confidence. The Necron's technological path and the Eldar's technological path were basically as different as water and fire. Faced with something like the Pharos Beacon, he didn't understand much more than the Mechanicus priests. More importantly, it wasn't a simple physical device. It was a dimensional pocket in itself, and the core imprisoning the star god was equivalent to a semi-open hyperdimensional space. This kind of space was very fragile, and once disturbed, its collapse would have catastrophic consequences.

Fortunately, at this time, the three Barasonilaash advisors who had been working on the Webway sorting in the Royal Court stepped forward. As an ancient race that assisted the Old Ones during the War in Heaven, they had extremely deep knowledge of spatial technology. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to build a miracle like the Hollow City. After learning about the problem Sotha Nul encountered, they gave guidance – in fact, they contributed greatly when transferring Geland, helping Callidus Tyche solve many problems.

The three Barasonilaash advisors worked together in a very short time to construct a Lumen Wide-Area Framework Model. Sotha Nul couldn't understand the principle of this thing. It wasn't a device or some kind of psychic witchcraft, but a model, a unique form of understanding space. Perhaps Callidus Tyche could understand it. He briefly summarized it for Sotha Nul, meaning that it was to temporarily suppress a three-dimensional entity into two dimensions, but this "temporary" was so short that it exceeded any existing unit of time measurement. Then, using the temporal constraints of the Warp, it was fixed at that moment and transferred to an independent dimension similar to a hyperdimensional cube. The whole process would not have any impact on Pharos, nor would it affect the dimensional pocket inside Pharos. It sounded like magic.

Well, maybe the process was actually very complicated, but it was simplified too much in order to make Sotha Nul understand. In short, since the Barasonilaash advisors had confidence and Callidus Tyche also thought it was feasible, Sotha Nul had nothing to worry about. Moreover, once this technology was practically verified, it would be much easier to handle many things in the future.

Of course, while the description was as simple as possible, the conditions required for the actual execution were actually very demanding. For example, it required master-level psykers to control – not in terms of strength, but in terms of precision. Callidus Tyche could do it, but it wasn't enough, so the three Barasonilaash advisors needed to go on stage together in person. In addition, it took time to build that unique suppression device, which was why Sotha Nul didn't arrive until more than three months later. And the energy required to operate this device was extremely exaggerated, basically at the stellar level – not that it needed stellar-level energy to maintain operation, but that the energy consumption required for a single operation was equal to the total energy of a star. Just the energy output device of this level was rare in the world.

Fortunately, the Royal Court did have it. The energy system of the Night Lantern Butterfly Tahr-Anliek could meet the basic requirements under full output, but this also meant that all its other functions would be temporarily disabled. Weapons, shields, engines, and even the internal anti-gravity platform would all be offline.

At this time, the Night Lantern Butterfly would be extremely vulnerable, so Sotha Nul had to mobilize a huge fleet to arrive, mainly to escort the Night Lantern Butterfly.

So, don't think the technology is very good, but the conditions are actually extremely harsh. Under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible to meet them. Only the Royal Court can mobilize such resources to do such a big thing.

In addition to providing spatial technology support, the Barasonilaash advisors also brought very excellent spiritbone construct technology. Now, many tasks in the Royal Court can be unmanned, and this time they will also become the main force in the relocation.

Following the instructions of the Bonesingers, a large number of spiritbone constructs pounced from the sky towards the Emperor's Scythe Chapter Monastery. They would start from the foundation, quickly separating the building and the mountain, and at the same time spray a special gel to bond the various parts of the building together, so that it would not collapse due to loss of support.

The whole work lasted for three days and three nights, until the Emperor's Watch Fortress was completely peeled off from the Pharos mountain. Then, several tractor ships came to the sky above the monastery, using the mode of psychic fixation + gravity traction to lift the huge fortress little by little into the air, and then transported it to the plain hundreds of miles away, where a large pit had already been dug.

However, before putting down the fortress, it was necessary to transfer a series of underground facilities such as the Chapter Tomb. During this period, Sotha Nul also checked the gene-seed vault of the Emperor's Scythe, and unsurprisingly it was already empty. He originally wanted to destroy it, but after thinking about it carefully, it was too cruel for those people. Perhaps they would choose to destroy the gene-seed themselves after realizing their situation. In short, he gave the choice to the Emperor's Scythe.

After placing the Emperor's Watch Fortress, Sotha Nul also asked the Custodes to place the armor of the Emperor's Scythe in the Foundation Hall and erect a stone tablet –

Salute to the Beacon Keepers of Pharos!

After removing the fortress, a part of the black main body of Pharos was exposed. The spiritbone constructs tirelessly peeled the rock from the Blackstone, and millions of constructs took a day to show this huge Blackstone device to Sotha Nul.

It was actually a large Necron obelisk, as if all their buildings were in this form.

Then it was a very delicate operation. Sotha Nul did not stay on the ground, but stayed on the Night Lantern Butterfly to prevent accidents. Callidus Tyche and the three Barasonilaash advisors began to deploy the plan. The Bonesingers would first establish six energy binders around Pharos. This was a safety procedure to prevent the violent energy from annihilating the entire Sotha. Then it was the stage of debugging the equipment on Tahr-Anliek. Sotha Nul knew that he was not good at these things, so he did not interfere, but confidently left everything to Callidus Tyche to arrange.

After working so hard for two days, news came from the ground that it could begin.

As one instruction after another was conveyed, tens of thousands of operations began to be executed simultaneously. For the first time, Sotha Nul felt the feeling of a "power outage" on Tahr-Anliek. The huge warship instantly extinguished all the lights, leaving only the faint light of the spiritbones. At the same time, all facilities stopped operating, the huge solar sails opened to the limit, and the device deployed in the abdomen of the Night Lantern Butterfly began to emit a strong light similar to a star.

The whole process lasted for ten seconds, followed by a colorful beam of light shooting towards Sotha, like an orbital strike.

This process also lasted for three seconds.

Callidus Tyche, covered in sweat, reported to Sotha Nul as soon as possible that everything was going well. When Tahr-Anliek started again, Sotha Nul tuned into the surface picture and saw that at the original location of Pharos, there was a bottomless pit. The entire earth was gouged out into a smooth semicircle, as if someone had scooped a spoonful of ice cream with a spoon.

Overjoyed, Sotha Nul praised Callidus Tyche and the three Barasonilaash advisors as soon as possible, and then immediately ordered to return, but not to the Royal Court, but back to Orpheus.
