"Since I can't devour you, I'll make your value count for the most!" Art Student said indifferently, then returned The Burning One shard to the dimensional cube.
He began seriously considering how to make full use of this shard of The Burning One and maximize its effectiveness. However, to get the most out of it, Art Student felt that he needed some inspiration and innovative thinking.
Art Student thought of the strategy once employed by the Necrons—imprisoning C'tan shards as an inexhaustible source of energy. But he felt that method was somewhat wasteful.
After all, Art Student possessed only a small shard of The Burning One, far from enough to meet the demands of such large-scale applications. Even if he wanted to use a C'tan shard to power a high-powered weapon, one shard could only support a single weapon. Faced with such limitations, Art Student did not consider this plan practical.
Furthermore, using the shard of The Burning One as the power source for a battle star would be little more than a drop in the bucket. Although the shard contained enormous energy, it was too small, and the energy it could release had its limits. It simply could not meet the energy demands of an entire battle star system.
Art Student's personal battle star had over a thousand controlled nuclear fusion energy towers, each a thousand meters tall. Only by supplying power to all its energy weapons could it barely sustain Art Student's casual control of those weapons to attack the Void Dragon shard and the shard of The Burning One.
Art Student knew well that broader applications would require another approach.
As he sank into thought, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. He recalled the Emperor's personal sword—the Emperor's Sword. This sword possessed a unique ability: it
