150: Obtain Necromancer Technology

Fourteen days later, The Other Shore-1 Closed Testing Grounds.

"adjudicator Core, integration complete. Preliminary functional testing beginning," the Chief Technologist announced over an absolutely encrypted channel.

In the center of the containment facility, the gods bottle had been connected to a massive new array composed of void crystals and Extragalactic alloys. At the core of the array floated a fist-sized, ever-shifting hybrid of liquid metal and data streams, glowing with dark gold and iron-gray light. This was the new form of the custodian's logic core fused with the concept processor—the adjudicator.

Test data began to be injected: first, a complex model of an Extragalactic environment, followed by the biological information map of the Edilus Biomass Body. The adjudicator's light flowed slightly, and almost instantly, the test terminal refreshed with a massive volume of analysis results, optimization suggestions, and dozens of new simulation plans for controlling the Biomass Body. Its speed and depth far exceeded the results of providence or the custodian operating independently!

Next, the test content was upgraded to simulate the energy information signatures of the Szarekh Necron phase shields and Gauss weaponry. The light of the adjudicator Core became sharp as it began to deconstruct the Necron technological logic behind these signatures, searching for non-standard variables in their protocols and resonant weak points in their energy circuits. Minutes later, a series of targeted phase interference frequencies and Gauss energy deflection field parameters were generated, with theoretical results that were exhilarating.

"Test passed! The adjudicator's performance meets and even exceeds expectations!" The Chief Technologist could not hide his excitement. "Its processing capability feels as if it were born to deconstruct and analyze the laws of the universe!"

"Very good." Han Zhe's image nodded. "adjudicator, authorized to access the Silent Harvest combat command network. Alpha, the operation can begin."

The Galaxy, the border of the Sotek Dynasty, the Tomb World: Ossified Bone Ring.

This was a planet completely terraformed by Necron technology. Its surface was covered in geometric metallic structures, with massive energy conduits extending from the core to the orbit, siphoning energy from the star. Several pyramid-shaped tomb ships and defense platforms floated in orbit.

"Task Force 'Silent Blade' (consisting of three Infiltrator-IV command ships, six arbiter-class iii vessels, and a large number of special assault craft) has arrived at attack positions and activated maximum-level stealth." Alpha-01's voice rang out over the encrypted channel. "adjudicator, begin information suppression and protocol interference."

In the distant 'The Other Shore-1', the adjudicator, maintaining an ultra-long-range connection with Keystone-1, began its work. An invisible torrent of conceptual information, carrying exploits for Necron Phase Protocols and underlying logic vulnerabilities, was precisely projected toward the Ossified Bone Ring and its orbital facilities.

The effect was immediate!

The ghostly green runes on the surface of the Necron tomb ships in orbit flickered in brief disorder, and the stability readings of their phase shields dropped by 15%. The aiming systems of several automated defense platforms showed subtle deviations. Inside the planet, the movements of some low-level Necron constructs became slightly sluggish.

"Interference effective! Enemy sensor efficiency is dropping, and phase shifts are showing predictable delay windows!" the technical officer reported.

"Assault forces, move out! Target: Planet North Pole region, Data Spire and Energy Node Alpha!" Alpha-01 ordered.

Special assault craft, carrying the elite Purifier units and heavy engineering modules, shot out like arrows from a bow. Utilizing the interference window created by the adjudicator, they silently broke through the orbital defenses and dove straight for the planet's surface!

Intense combat erupted in the cold, metallic Necron city. Purifier marines, relying on Concept Stabilization power armor and real-time weakness analysis provided by the adjudicator, engaged in fierce battles with swarming Necron Warriors and Destroyers. Engineering units braved the hail of fire to forcibly breach the Data Spire, beginning physical linking and data plundering.

"The adjudicator Core is attempting to directly crack the encryption protocols of the Necron database! Encountering strong resistance—there is a high-level Lord's consciousness stationed there!" the technical team exclaimed.

"adjudicator Core, concentrate computing power to suppress the Lord's consciousness! Inject logical paradoxes and order-pollution data streams!" Han Zhe ordered.

The adjudicator Core's light surged in the distance. A silent battle occurring at the data level unfolded deep within the Data Spire. Ultimately, under the adjudicator's logic-defying data processing capabilities, the Necron Lord's consciousness was temporarily overridden or dispersed, and the database encryption was forcibly torn open!

"Data downloading! Progress at 10%... 30%... 70%! It contains a vast amount of phase technology, Gauss weapon principles, Living Metal synthesis formulas, and partial structural diagrams of a World Engine!" The technical officer's voice carried wild joy.

Meanwhile, another assault team successfully detonated the energy node, cutting off nearly 40% of the energy supply to the Necron facilities in that region, triggering a chain-reaction paralysis.

"Mission completion at 85%! Enemy reinforcement phase signals approaching! adjudicator, create false signals and spatial distortions to cover the extraction!" Alpha-01 ordered decisively.

The adjudicator exerted its power again, creating multiple false energy signal sources and distorted spatial mirrors around the battlefield, confusing the arriving Necron reinforcements. The assault troops took the opportunity to quickly evacuate the Ossified Bone Ring with the plundered data cores and several Necron technology samples (including a relatively complete Destroyer wreck and several pieces of Living Metal), vanishing into the interference mist maintained by the adjudicator.

"The first round of Operation Silent Harvest is a success," Alpha-01 reported after the fleet had safely withdrawn. "The estimated value of the acquired Necron technological data is immense. The enemy has lost a key border node and a large amount of data. Our losses are minimal."

"Very good." Han Zhe looked at the massive, cold, logic-filled Necron database being transmitted back, a cold light flashing in his eyes. "The adjudicator's performance has proven its value. Immediately begin analysis and reverse engineering of the acquired data. Simultaneously, Operation Silent Harvest enters its second phase. Use the intelligence gathered to expand our gains. Target: Paralyze the Sotek Dynasty's stellar siphoning network and force their core Tomb Worlds into an energy shortage!"

"Furthermore," he added, "cross-research the preliminary results of the Pastoral Plan regarding efficient biomass conversion and control with the Necron Living Metal technology. See if we can create a living alloy that combines biological adaptability, self-repair, and metallic strength."

"As you command!"

The eerie blue and dark gold light of the adjudicator Core flowed quietly deep within Keystone-1, like a cold and greedy brain that had just tasted the flavors of divinity and Necron technology. It processed the plundered Necron data, optimized the next round of strike plans, and silently analyzed the remaining deeper mysteries of the Taotie Prototype regarding devouring and transformation.

The power of the Human Federation, after devouring the brain of an Extragalactic god and beginning to digest the marrow of a Necron dynasty, was surging forward at an unprecedented speed toward a direction that was more bizarre, more powerful, and more inhuman.
