Transcendent C'tan
Nimrod and Freddy followed the green, misty path toward the Pyramid.
On the way, Nimrod thought hopefully.
After stepping into the giant monument of the Yemenga star system, the power of the Transcendent C'tan was not manifested at all; it may have been forced into hibernation, or its power may have weakened.
Perhaps, we can control him by calling him a "Nation of Disorder."
The moment the man and the wolf entered the Pyramid, the surroundings trembled, and a voice suddenly rang out.
The sound neither rang in my ears nor echoed in my mind.
The "Baron of Corruption" saw that the Rule Line surrounding him were trembling.
That was everything around him, mainly from the Pyramid, and some even from his armor and Bolter.
Together they vibrate in a complex and subtle way, creating a symphony that forms sound.
Nimrod.
"I am Mag'Radros, the Void Dragon; I am the C'tan, belonging to the stars and the tides of time."
"I am the form and manifestation of this universe, I am God."
Nimrod's eyes narrowed. [It's actually a fragment of the Void Dragon's Exalted C'tan Shard?]
He knew that after the Nightbringer lost their scythes, the Void Dragon were the most powerful C'tan.
The Void Dragon, torn into only one hundred fragments, was also the most powerful of the C'tan Shard.
The Transcendent C'tan formed by the Void Dragon will be more powerful than the others.
[Yes, physically replicating thousands of warships falls under the mechanical field, which is the area where the Void Dragon excels.]
The Crypt Technomancer of Szarekhan create artifacts based on the Void Dragon.
The Transcendent C'tan's power is greater than I imagined; he was merely confined within the Pyramid by the techniques of the Szarekhan Crypt Technomancer.
Nimrod knew that the Tesseract Labyrinth used the C'tan's energy to create an energy field by surrounding the C'tan's tentacles, thus binding them.
Szarekhan's legendary artifact, the Energy Shackles, is more powerful than the technology of other Necrons, capable of binding the power of the Transcendent C'tan to prevent it from leaking out of the Pyramid.
The Transcendent C'tan was forced to become the energy source for the Jormungandr Star Monolith.
As I pondered, the "sound" continued to ring out.
This makes controlling the fragments of the Exalted C'tan Shard far too risky.
"You will liberate me, you will be rewarded."
"Your creator endowed you with power far exceeding that of ordinary people, but the power of the Warp is simply no match for the control over the physical realm."
Nimrod curled his lip, inwardly mocking him.
[If I didn't know that your biggest piece was beaten and bound by the Old Man in Yellow, I might actually believe it.]
Sensing Nimrod's suspicion, the voice suddenly rose, and the shout of "anger" was deafening, like a tidal wave crashing down.
"I am the true God, the living embodiment of this universe."
"Warp is nothing but a pale shadow."
"I am the light!"
The sound waves crashed against the Primarch, causing him to pause under the pressure, but without causing him any real harm.
The "Baron of Corruption" observed that the Rule Line trembled, but this did not trigger a dramatic change in reality.
[Szarekhan's Energy Shackles are indeed powerful, binding the fragments of the Void Dragon.]
Well, at least before the Great Rift unfolded, the Transcendent C'tan was not free.
We can continue forward, observe and gain a direct understanding of the Transcendent C'tan, which will also benefit me when I have the ability to control it in the future.
"You will liberate me, and I will travel the Milky Way and unite with my various parts."
"After that, I can give you anything you want."
Nimrod continued forward, and suddenly the space in front of him opened up. He looked up at the sky.
A star shone brightly in the night sky of a void, terrifying heat emanating from its luminous core.
The power of an extinct star shone brightly, causing the entire Pyramid to tremble.
The Black Wolf's paws gripped the ground tightly, its soft fur stood on end, and beads of sweat dripped down its body.
Freddy said uneasily, "He's dangerous; he's trying to escape."
The next instant, the spiderweb-like runes inside the Pyramid lit up, a terrifying green cloud of electricity enveloped the entire planet, and lightning crackled.
The shapes in the air gradually became clearer: head, torso, arms, legs.
The crown on his head gradually took shape, and like his body, it was made of silver metal.
Shining wings spread out behind him, and a metal tail longer than his body swayed on his back.
"The Baron of Corruption" could still see the Spirituality radiance shining from his body, he thought to himself.
[The main ingredient for potions obtained through the "Paragon" Pathway?]
Yes, Shard of the Void Dragon should at least be at the Sequence 1 "Enlightener" level.
The Void Dragon made a gesture, and its right hand shone brightly, causing a spear to appear out of Spear.
Just as he was about to make a move, a burst of green light erupted from inside the Pyramid and enveloped him.
A moment later, the light faded.
The Void Dragon roared, its shimmering silver skin glowing.
He looked down with an arrogant disdain, his face stern, his features more angular than those of an average human, and his head very long.
Its form is somewhere between the Aeldari and humans, but its expression is more ruthless than either of these species.
Nimrod keenly sensed that the C'tan was angry and cold, almost devoid of emotion, and that this manifested as violent vibrations of atomic energy rather than through cruder chemical reactions.
"I am the master of the material realm, the controller of annihilation and destruction."
"You must free me, and you will get everything you want."
"What I want, you can't give me," Nimrod said calmly, continuing to observe and analyze the Transcendent C'tan from multiple perspectives, including his own perception.
The Void Dragon looked down at Nimrod, who had defied him, and saw golden wings; its eyes gleamed.
He then saw the sword at Nimrod's waist, its body gleaming with light.
Nimrod also glanced at the Aeldari amulet encircling the Void Dragon's neck; he knew it was Vaul's Amulet.
The Vaul's Amulet exposed the Void Dragon's fatal weakness, leading to his defeat.
The Void Dragon's gaze finally settled on the Spear behind Nimrod.
After a twelve-second silence, he spoke again.
Nimrod, what do you want?
"I want you." After weighing his options, Nimrod decided to temporarily give up and deal with the Transcendent C'tan after his own Sequence had improved.
[Since the Void Dragon will not be able to escape its confinement for the next ten thousand years.]
Now that I control the Jormungandr Star Monolith, there's no need to take any risks.
"What?"
Thunder roar resounded, and the Void Dragon doubted what he had heard.
He thought he had a chance to break free from his constraints, but he didn't expect that Nimrod also coveted him.
Nimrod waited until the noise subsided, then spoke to Freddy beside him.
Let's go.
Black Wolf shook his body, and sweat fell to the ground, pooling into a puddle beneath him.
He turned around impatiently; he no longer wanted to stay where he was.
Freddy had already guessed that Nimrod intended to use that mysterious space to reclaim the Void Dragon.
Even if this Transcendent C'tan is powerful, he is not as strong as the Mysterious Space.
Is he not taking action now just to prepare?
Nimrod led Freddy out of the Pyramid, thinking to himself.
Could this be related to the erasure of all information about Hannibal and the Second Legion from official Imperium records?
Well, at least it wasn't related from the beginning. He clearly didn't release the Void Dragon, and he discovered the Jormungandr Star Monolith early in the Great Crusade; his records were erased later.
Nimrod returned to the control room and immediately gave the order, "The Transcendent C'tan inside the Pyramid is dangerous; no one is allowed to enter."
