As the Silent King, Szarekh felt rather helpless in the face of this situation.
The power of Chaos that Vashtorr had displayed had proven the Pariah Nexus project, and even the Blackstone Artifacts themselves, utterly worthless.

His pride as a Necron Overlord would not allow him to tolerate those fragile creatures destroying the Necrons' precious property. Even property proven to serve no purpose was no exception.

After leaving the Milky Way, the Silent King had waged campaigns throughout the universe with the domineering might unique to the Necron Dynasty, bringing countless deaths in his wake.
