Editing C'tan (section)

==Transcendent C'Tan Shard==
A '''Transcendent C'Tan Shard''', introduced in [[Apocalypse]], is a C'tan Shard that has eaten/merged with/subsumed a large number of other Shards (between twelve and several hundred), becoming scary powerful in the process. In fact, it's ''so'' powerful, it's an <s>Apocalypse-only Gargantuan creature as powerful as a [[Titan]]</s> a Monstrous Creature with a power equivalent to a 6th edition [[Wraithknight]] (he had that [[nerf]] coming), all in a package the size of a regular C'tan. Funny enough, the most damage it dealt back in the day was blowing up, and not shooting the surely-not-warp-mind-bullet-lightning.

One of the most terrifying things is that a Transcendent Shard "calls" other shards of the same C'tan, hoping to absorb them and increase its own power in the process. Eventually, a loose Transcendent C'tan will reunite all loose Shards, becoming the original, nigh-on unkillable, godlike C'tan, which will no doubt be very angry at the Necrons for double-crossing them. [[Grimdark|Grimdark enough for you?]] No? Well, what if we told you [[Not as planned|there are ALREADY C'tan Shards on the loose]]? Some of them can even think for themselves. Remember the [[Uriel Ventris|Nightbringer of Pavonis]] or the "golden-skinned" being who guided [[Abaddon]] to Drach'Nyen? Or maybe a [[Void_Dragon|Dragon]] sleeping on [[Mars]]?

Very few [[Necron Dynasty|Necron dynasties]] have one, because it's very hard to keep something that powerful in check. It requires a massive Tesseract Vault to keep it ''barely'' contained. Despite this, there have been reports of particularly powerful/desperate/fucking stupid dynasties using the Transcendent shards without a Vault when the need arises, but only if said Shard is not yet powerful enough (which is why they are "only" MC compared to the Vault, that is a [[Rape|Super-heavy Flyer vehicle with upgraded C'Tan powers]]). In this state, the risk of the Shard going rogue increases a thousandfold, so even [[Assholetep]] thinks twice about releasing such power, because if the Transcendent Shard escapes and reunites with the other Shards of itself, the full-fledged C'tan will return. [[Rape|Let's leave to the reader's imagination what would happen then...]] After all, the Silent King had to basically sucker-punch the C'tan with a reality breaking superweapon, while they were tired and distracted, to shatter them in the first place. Even if the Necrons still had that weapon, it probably wouldn't work again.
