The cosmic phantom beast transformed from the ultra-ancient dragon Melba has fire attributes. Although it's only a minor cosmic phantom beast, the power it contains is extremely terrifying, and it had previously absorbed a portion of the fragments from the C'tan Void Dragon.
It turned into a streak of crimson light and directly merged into AsanethAyu's body. The female Necrontyr opened her arms, her body enveloped in fiery red energy. Since she had already undergone the super beast transformation, fusing with the cosmic phantom beast wasn't particularly difficult.
In terms of combat power enhancement, it only added the cosmic phantom beast's attributes and cosmic phantom beast fist techniques. The super beast's own aptitude was not inferior to the cosmic phantom beast's, and its combat power was even stronger.
"My lord! Thank you for your grace!" AsanethAyu knelt on the ground and said to Rhodes.
"Hmm! Rise! I need you to offer me your loyalty and do what you must. I will give you the greatest support; whatever you need, just tell me." Rhodes spoke.
The cosmic phantom beast was also an insurance policy. If this female space necron betrayed him, Rhodes could kill her instantly.
However, the possibility was low; this female Necrontyr worshipped him greatly, even to the point of fanaticism.
"Yes, my lord!" AsanethAyu bowed to Rhodes.
"You go and rest for a bit first! Later, I'll assign you a few Zettons; you can fully control them. I hope you won't disappoint me.
Once Tartarus and Zog return, I'll have Tartarus send you to your dynasty. At that time, I'll also send a special helper to assist you." Rhodes said.
AsanethAyu bowed to Rhodes and slowly exited the command room.
After AsanethAyu left, Rhodes summoned a subordinate he had forgotten about for a long time.
He must send her a powerful enforcer, and he also needed someone to act as his eyes and ears, reporting the situation on the Necron side to Rhodes at any time.
After thinking for a while, Rhodes decided to summon a subordinate.
A few days later, Mefilas brought a guy with yellow stripes on his body and a face full of yellow fur to appear before Rhodes.
"Master, I have brought him," Mefilas said.
"Master! You called for me."
The newcomer was Babarue. When Babarue was first summoned, Rhodes had originally planned to have him impersonate a Primarch to integrate the Imperium's military forces, but now that was completely unnecessary!
So Rhodes planned to continue utilizing Babarue's value by sending him to the Necron side to help AsanethAyu complete her power seizure plan.
Babarue had been following Mefilas all along, training. All his enhanced attributes had been strengthened to the extreme by Rhodes. Now, his transformation ability, to put it bluntly...
If he transformed into Rhodes's appearance and went out, none of Rhodes's gene descendants would notice any abnormality, including Titus and the others.
Unless one could perceive souls, it would be absolutely undetectable. Babarue could even simulate the genetic level perfectly. If simulating a Primarch, he could replicate it flawlessly.
However, it would be replicating an old version of the Primarch, like the recently discovered Rogal Dorn. Having him impersonate a Necron or Necrontyr would be no problem at all.
"Hmm! Babarue, this time I have an important mission for you," Rhodes said.
"Master! Have you finally remembered me? I've been waiting for so long." Babarue knelt before Rhodes, speaking with tears and snot running down his face.
When he was first summoned, he had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility by his master and had been training hard, even serving as a sparring partner for that guy named Horus.
But later, his mission inexplicably disappeared, and he was assigned to Mefilas to help manage the star system. But he wasn't suited for internal affairs; his power could only be minimally utilized, so he could only stay on the planet training his strength.
He thought he was about to be forgotten by his master and become completely useless, but unexpectedly, one day his master remembered him and summoned him again.
"Rise, Babarue. I won't forget you. Your abilities are very special and need to be used as a trump card assassin.
So you can't be used lightly. I had you train before to increase your strength and play your role at critical moments." Rhodes smiled and said.
How could I forget you, the top imitation master from the Ultra series universe? Your imitation ability is even better than the Alien Zarab's.
Naturally, it must be used on the cutting edge. Rhodes had previously planned to have Babarue act as his body double.
The other party also had the ability to gigantify. Imitating himself could appear on some battlefields to share some burdens for Rhodes.
He could even serve as bait to lure enemies. These were all things Babarue could do, so Rhodes had strengthened all his attributes to the peak, especially his imitation abilities.
"Great Master, what mission do you have for me this time? No matter what it is, I'll complete it and won't disappoint you." Babarue patted his chest and said.
"Hmm! I have a very important mission for you. You need to follow AsanethAyu to the Necron territory and help her subdue the entire Necron group.
At critical moments, you can transform into a Necron Overlord, or a Necron Phaeron, or even a Necrontyr to help her quickly seize the dynasty's power." Rhodes explained his plan to Babarue.
"Master, if it's transforming into other life forms, I guarantee I won't show any flaws. I can even imitate you perfectly!
And ensure no one discovers it. But the problem is, those Necrons aren't living beings. I'm sorry, Master.
I don't have the ability to imitate them. They aren't normal life forms; they're mechanical units. I can simulate organic life and some special life, but pure mechanical bodies are not within my capabilities." Babarue looked at Rhodes with a troubled expression.
This really wasn't because he didn't want to serve his master; he had long wanted to do something for Rhodes and utilize his strengths.
But the issue was, impersonating a Necron was something he truly couldn't do. Those guys were just a bunch of space metal skeletons, nothing more than electronic programs. He was a living being and couldn't transform from organic to inorganic.
Rhodes was a bit stunned upon hearing this, but thinking carefully, Babarue made sense. He could perfectly simulate the opponent's DNA, but he couldn't turn into a mechanical body!
Otherwise, why wouldn't Babarue transform into some powerful mechanical monsters for battle? He's never transformed into a mechanical monster.
So, could this special helper not be sent?
"Master! I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm so useless; I can't even transform into a lifeless mechanical body." Babarue knelt on the ground, speaking with regret.
He couldn't help his master, and this was the first time his master had given him a clear order!
"Master! Babarue really can't do this. His transformation ability simulates from the DNA level. If it's organic life, he has a way, but for mechanical life, he truly can't." Mefilas standing nearby said.
The Zarab Alien couldn't do it either.
"I overthought it. Forget it! Take him back and continue training. I'll arrange someone else to help AsanethAyu." Rhodes said.
Upon hearing this, Babarue immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant. He had been looking forward to serving his master, but now he had to go back? Was his transformation ability really that useless?
"Master! If you need a good monitor, actually, I can handle it." Mefilas said.
His intellect was absolutely no problem; he was one of the most suitable candidates.
Moreover, ever since that golden-glowing guy named Tartarus arrived, his position as the first advisor had been shaken, so Mefilas really wanted to perform in front of Rhodes.
When his master hadn't fully risen yet, he had once provided strategies for a while, and some of his plans were executed by the master, though some weren't.
"No! Mefilas, you still need to manage the territory. You need to use your psychic powers to relocate suitable planets to my territory. The development of the entire territory still needs you." Rhodes said.
The expedition was about to launch, and this time the Plague War would be 100 times more brutal than in the original timeline.
There must be a master to guard his territory. Huron and Ahriman might not be able to fully protect it.
And the newly summoned Angel Zog was a very special combat force, a secret weapon against Nurgle, and couldn't be exposed lightly.
"Master! Although I can't transform into those Necrons' appearances, I can perfectly imitate that female Necrontyr. I can even transform into an identical Necrontyr race member; I just need to slightly change my gender." Babarue said.
He wasn't that useless!
Although he couldn't imitate mechanical bodies, he could do Necrontyr!
"Master, I think Babarue is right. Instead of having him impersonate a Necron, why not have him play the role of a Phaeron revived by you? We secretly eliminate the Phaeron of AsanethAyu's dynasty.
Then have Babarue go and impersonate him, announce that the dynasty's Phaeron has been revived by you, and then subdue the other Necron Overlords. Isn't that perfect?"
"Hmm! That makes sense. Then let's do it that way. You first secretly eliminate that Necron Phaeron, then you transform into his Necrontyr form.
Afterward, convene a Phaeron conference, gather all the Overlords in the dynasty, and bring them the news of the revival." Rhodes nodded and said.
"Yes, Master. I'll definitely handle this for you." Babarue said excitedly, finally not having to go back to doing nothing every day.
After confirming the mission, Rhodes summoned AsanethAyu again and introduced Babarue to this female Necrontyr, explaining the plan in detail.
"I'm sorry! AsanethAyu, your Phaeron identity might have to wait a while. Having Babarue impersonate the Phaeron can control your dynasty faster.
But I promise you, once we conquer the second Necron dynasty, you will serve as the female Phaeron, and legitimately so." Rhodes said.
"My lord! You don't need to apologize to me. Everything I have is granted by you, including my soul and life. You have the right to do anything to me.
Moreover, as a female Phaeron, I'd rather use my cloned subjects to build a new home. I can first serve as an Overlord position.
This matter requires Babarue to ascend to the Phaeron position and then appoint me as an Overlord, then approve me to establish my own dynasty.
That's the Necrontyr process, and the most formal way for a new Phaeron." AsanethAyu said.
Using force to ascend to the Phaeron throne isn't stable. The master's method is more secure. Once I'm appointed as a Necron Overlord, I'll have the qualification to establish a small dynasty.
"Hmm! Over the next few days, you and Babarue communicate well. Tell him about your race's rules, customs, especially the Phaeron's behavior and mannerisms. Make sure he imitates them perfectly." Rhodes said.
"Yes, my lord. I'll tell him all about our dynasty's Phaeron's behaviors, mannerisms, and habits." AsanethAyu said.
Rhodes nodded, signaling the two to leave. Next, they just needed to wait for Tartarus and the others to return.
In another desolate, icy expanse of space, all the awakened Necron dynasty Phaerons and Necron Overlords received a video message.
It was a dialogue between Necron Overlord Trazyn the Infinite and himself in Necrontyr form.
This video dialogue completely shocked all the Phaerons and Necron Overlords. None of the Necrons expected that, after sleeping for 60 million years, a living clansman would appear.
However, some raised doubts, believing it was just Trazyn the Infinite's trick.
He wanted to fool all the dynasty Phaerons and Necron Overlords again, after all, this wasn't his first time doing so.
