#1766 - Diplomacy (computer is too old to play Civilization 7)

Duanmu Huai admitted that when he was caught by Taraxin's stasis field, he really wanted to pretend that he hadn't noticed anything so that he could be taken back to Taraxin's museum.

After all, for the players, Trazyn's museum is the place with the most wealth in the entire game. Although there are the same defense systems there, and Trazyn, this despicable and shameless guy, always likes to plot against people, but for the players, this most notorious lord among the Necrons is like a dragon in a fantasy story. Princesses, treasures and legendary weapons are hidden in its lair. As long as they can defeat this dragon, they will gain countless wealth!

With Duanmu Huai's power as the God of Destruction, as long as he gives up this body, he can completely destroy Taraxin from the root - although this insidious, cunning, despicable guy never shows his true form, when he appears in front of others, it is always through methods such as possession or remote control. Even if this body is defeated, Taraxin will only transfer his consciousness to other bodies.

But the God of Destruction will not explain these things to you. As long as Duanmu Huai locks on the individual Taraxin, he can wipe him out.

Because everything will eventually be destroyed, and the Necrons who think they are eternal are no exception.

Once Trazyn is killed, his museum will belong to him. Considering Trazyn's hobby of collecting, it is very likely that everything from the birth of mankind to the present is preserved in his museum. As long as he can get these...

To be honest, Duanmu Huai was drooling just thinking about it.

But he finally held back.

Because this world needed him to save it, and a Star God was wandering in the gap between the Warp and the material world. He didn't have much time to waste on this. Considering that Trazyn's museum was still unknown how far away from this world, the Inquisitor's professional ethics finally overcame greed.

Since Trazyn was still alive, he would have a chance to meet her sooner or later.

It won’t be too late to take it then. Anyway, what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine.

“……………………”

Duanmu Huai knew what Trazyn was going to do. As a Necron Lord, a BOSS-level existence, Trazyn's melee skills were exactly the opposite of Duanmu Huai's. In fact, a swarm vanguard could easily kill this guy several times.

It can be said that in close combat, Duanmu Huai is invincible in front of Taraxin.

But Trazyn knew this himself, so he was best at using insidious, cunning, despicable and vulgar tactics.

The super-dimensional maze that Duanmu Huai mentioned is one of them.

Players jokingly call it "Dream Pokémon" for a simple reason. This thing is like a Poké Ball, which will seal the target in a four-dimensional cube maze. Then if Taraxin encounters a difficult enemy, it will open the maze and release the guy trapped inside.

This process is very similar to throwing a Poké Ball, except that those who can be locked in this "Poké Ball" are not ordinary people, including but not limited to the Imperial Guards, Wolf Guards, Inquisitors, War Sisters...

"I promise you, if you throw me in, you're going to regret it."

Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at the Necron Lord in front of him. As the God of Destruction, he could destroy everything, including a mere four-dimensional cube maze. If Trazyn was really stupid enough to lock himself in, then Duanmu Huai didn't mind blowing up that damn Poké Ball.

By that time, what the trapped things would do to Taraxin if they came out would not be a problem that Duanmu Huai needed to consider.

"You are threatening me."

Facing Duanmu Huai's warning, Taraxin's tone was cold and serious. This was normal. In its eyes, the creature in front of it was just a low-level creature.

Funny, but stupid.

"Of course, I am threatening you."

Duanmu Huai stared at Taraxin with an expressionless face. He admitted that he wanted to let this despicable and shameless alien go, but if the other party did not obey, Duanmu Huai did not mind completely eradicating this guy's existence here.

After all, the age of the Necrontyr is long over, and the Necrons are a thing of the past.

Human beings are the masters of the present. Antiques from tens of millions of years ago should just stay in the tombs and weather away. It is a bit unreasonable for them to come out and cause trouble.

Duanmu Huai looked at Taraxin with the same contempt and indifference as Taraxin looked at Duanmu Huai. The latter looked at a stupid, short-lived, ignorant and barbaric race that came after them, just like humans look at chimpanzees. No matter how smart they are, they can't reach the level of humans. Occasionally, a few chimpanzees can learn to use mobile phones like humans, which is enough to make them receive more attention.

The former is looking at an old and useless fossil that should have disappeared from history long ago. It is like the dinosaur bones in a museum. They once dominated the earth. But in the human era, their only role is to serve as decorations in the museum.

No matter how big and powerful they once were, no matter how domineering they were on this planet, that is now a thing of the past.

Just like the Necrons.

In the eyes of humans, ancient does not mean anything. The Old Saints are ancient, the Necrontyr are ancient, the Necrons are ancient, the Eldar are ancient, and the Greenskins are equally ancient.

They conquered the universe and the stars before humans even existed.

But so what?

In war, it is not the winner who takes all, but the survivors who survive.

Only humans have the last laugh and become the overlord of the Milky Way.

The Old Ones, the Necrontyr, the Necrons, and the Eldar have long since become the dust of history, insignificant grains of sand, disappearing into the depths of the eternal and boundless darkness of the universe.

We can fail countless times, but we can still start over.

The Golden Age, the Dark Age, the Great Crusade, the Schism, the Primaris Age, the history of mankind is long and painful, but they are still here. Unlike other races, they did not fall into despair and ended early. Even at the end, they started the Black Hole Project and reset everything to zero. It was not a desperate abandonment, but a firm belief that mankind could still make a comeback.

Humans will not cowardly choose to sleep like the Necrons, nor will they be in a panic and just run for their lives like the Eldar. They will continue and move forward, over and over again until they achieve their goal.

And you are not.

Duanmu Huai stared at Taraxin with a mocking look.

Lifeless steel creations, without life, have no goals. Eternity also represents nothingness. The dynasty of the dead still exists, but it is no different from extinction.

They can no longer create anything, nor possess anything.

Taraxin's eyes shook twice. Maybe the light bulb that glowed wouldn't shake, or maybe it would. But it didn't matter. It was silent for a long time before looking at Duanmu Huai again.

"You said a deal, so what can you give me?"

"I can promise not to kill you now."

Duanmu Huai's answer was calm and composed.

"I believe this should be a good deal for you. What you need to do is turn around, take these junks and leave this world, get lost as far as you can, and it's best if you never come back."

"I think from what you know about me, you should understand that this is not a funny joke."

Taraxin's voice sounded a little frivolous, and Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"Maybe I'm not kidding you."

"……………………"

Trazyn fell silent again, then he spoke.

"Your little band is very interesting. It would be very troublesome for you if they just disappeared like this."

"Solemnas is a great place too, it would be a shame if it was blown to pieces."

Duanmu Huai also blocked Taraxin's implicit threat with one sentence - I know where your home is and which class you are in. If you dare to do anything that makes me unhappy, I will make you unhappy.

You don't want to see your museum destroyed.

"I'm a very superstitious person. If a friend of mine were to go missing or get struck by lightning, I would blame someone for not keeping their end of the bargain with me. At that point, I wouldn't be polite."

Duanmu Huai was very confident. The monk could run away, but you cannot run away from the temple. Unless you, Taraxin, want to throw away all your collections that have been collected for tens of millions of years, I don’t believe that you won’t feel bad!

“……………………”

Taraxin did not answer immediately. Instead, he stared at Duanmu Huai and looked him up and down carefully.

"interesting."

Finally, it spoke.

"It seems like we are both hiding something from each other."

"Then you should also understand that you can't do anything to me."

Duanmu Huai knew that Tarasim saw through him, but he didn't care. In fact, Duanmu Huai's current state is indeed very similar to Tarasim, both of them can be regarded as possessed remote control flow. The only difference is that Duanmu Huai's account is maintained by himself, while Tarasim's account is 100% stolen.

Duanmu Huai was able to kill Trazyn because he was the God of Destruction, which was within the scope of his duties. But it was obviously impossible for Trazyn to kill Duanmu Huai—the Necrons did not have any particularly commendable skills in terms of souls, and the Eldar were better at this.

Manipulating space and time is their specialty.

"It looks like we have reached a consensus."

Trazyn chose to give in. He was actually very curious about Duanmu Huai. At first, Trazyn just thought that this girl was an interesting human in the world. But what he didn't expect was that the other party was very familiar with him. Not only did she call out his name, but she also knew a lot about his actions and had the special ability to move in the stasis field.

And he even threatened to kill himself... Well, Trazyn said that he was becoming more and more interested in this human.

But there is no need to rush. Interesting human beings like these will not die easily.

Although I can't attack her, I can keep an eye on her. Maybe if I get the chance someday, I can take her away.

Of course, by that time, in order to prevent her collection from getting lonely, Trazyn decided to take her little band away as well.

Well, I'll put it in the Mechanicus exhibition area of ​​my collection when the time comes. It seems quite interesting.

While Taraxin was thinking, Duanmu Huai was also thinking.

He didn't believe that Trazyn would let him go so easily, but it didn't matter, the Necrons had no affinity with the Warp, and it was impossible for it to follow him forever. But it was fine, when Duanmu Huai returned to his own world, he might be able to find a chance to kill Trazyn and take over its museum completely.

Duanmu Huai and Taraxin looked at each other and had the same thought.

Let's do it next time.
