Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 235: Sharokin's New Equipment

The Space Marines who had followed Roche the longest were undoubtedly the veterans who had escaped from the underground of Istvaan V, and the one who had the best relationship with Roche was Nikona Sharokin.

The Iron Hands veterans led by Ironfather Wayland were always obsessed with the shadow of the Primarch's death. Roche knew very well that they followed him only because it would enable them to better fight against the traitors and wait for the day when they could avenge the Primarch.

Moreover, these Iron Hands never spared their lives in battle, and fought the enemy with the attitude of dying together. Perhaps death was a better outcome for them.

As for the Salamander Pharmacist Tassa, he followed Roche for the same purpose of fighting against the traitors, but he had more love for the people of the empire. Roche's indirect help enabled tens of billions, even hundreds of billions of humans to survive the traitors' butcher knives. He respected Roche.

Nikonna Sharokin was slightly different from them. Luo Xi could feel that in the eyes of the Raven Sons, they were both comrades and friends. The son of Corax yearned for freedom, and he did not burden himself with too heavy a burden.

Therefore, after getting away from the tedious affairs of Macragge and returning to Sosa, Roxi also thought about what to give to his best friend.

"For a warrior, the best gift is a blade and a weapon. Fortunately, the technological creations of the Necrons that we seized on Sosa came in handy. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

Luo Xi touched his chin, where hard stubble had begun to grow. He walked towards the warehouse of the Red Alert and ordered the intelligent computer to take out the gifts specially customized for Sharokin.

When the silver-white metal door opened, a one-meter-high platform slowly rose from the ground, and placed on it was a weapon completely different from the power sword widely circulated in the Human Empire.

It was a mysterious weapon that radiated a faint green glow and exuded an invisible aura. Even someone like Luo Xi, who knew nothing about swords, could feel its dangerous aura.

Its blade was not forged from any metal known to the human empire, but came from an even older civilization. After Roche recovered some of the wreckage and relics of the Necrons, he finally found only a little of this unknown metal.

The green light it emitted seemed to carry a hint of ominous aura, and to the naked eye, the blade appeared and disappeared from time to time, as if constantly appearing and disappearing in this universe.

"Star God Phase Sword. The information obtained from the Necrons' database revealed the name of this weapon. The Necrons seem to have taken some power from a being called Star God and melted it into a melee weapon similar to a sword."

Luo Xi didn’t know what the so-called star gods were like, but judging from the literal meaning, these guys might really have incredible powers.

Not everything is qualified to be called a god, especially an ancient civilization like the Necrons that has successfully accomplished the feat of killing gods.

Of course, the prototype of the Star God Phase Sword seized from the Necrons was not suitable for human use. Roche used the processing and reshaping capabilities of the Red Alert to modify and recast it.

The phase weapon characteristics of the Star God Phase Sword have been retained. Even if the phase stance is not activated, it is still the most terrifying melee weapon. The Star God Phase Sword in the phase state has been tested and can penetrate the protection of any material and cut any object.

Even adamantium, one of the hardest metals in the real universe, is no different from ordinary ceramic steel in front of the blade of the Star God Phase Sword. Even armor made of strong interaction force materials is only slightly better than adamantium armor.

Not only physical defense, but even non-material defense such as energy shield cannot stop the attack of the Star God Phase Sword.

According to the test results, only the think tanks' psychic power can slightly block the edge of the Star God Phase Sword. The effect of this weapon on psychic power is not particularly good, but it is far better than most power swords and chainsaw swords.

"I'm here, this is..."

Luo Xi sent a message to Nikona. Although the Raven Guards were like his shadow in other places, he still tried to give both sides some distance and space in the safe environment of Red Alert.

For a few days each month, the Raven King's sons would sink into a deep depression, often choosing to sleep to overcome their extreme lows. Sharokin walked with complete silence, so silent that even the most sophisticated sensors couldn't detect a single footstep. This veteran of the Raven Guard had already mastered the Gene Father's Shadow Step, developing a technique and experience all his own.

Luo Xi was already accustomed to the sudden appearance of old friends. He just waved his hand and signaled Sharokin to try the Star God Phase Sword that had just been recast.

With the intuition of a swordsman, Sharokin's dark eyes were fixed on the ancient green sword. He could sense an aura that was far more dangerous than the power sword, as well as the stories and experiences that the sword had experienced.

This is an unruly ancient weapon. It contains an extremely violent mechanical soul that cannot be controlled by ordinary people.

But Sharokin did not hesitate at all. He did not like meaningless courtesy. Since Luo Xi had given it to him, what he should do was to make the best use of the power of the sword.

His right hand, wearing a power glove, grasped the handle tailored for him. The length, weight and center of gravity perfectly matched Nikonna's combat habits.

He did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort. He slightly turned the green sword in his hand and made a beautiful sword flower.

In Luo Xi's eyes, it seemed as if a faint green aurora was flickering and floating. Nikonna's swordsmanship was more like an elegant art form. The flickering sword light not only did not bring a cold murderous aura, but instead made people feel pleasing to the eye.

I don't know who will win or lose in the duel with the sword master of the Emperor's Son.

Sharokin placed one of his two power swords on the surface of the platform and held the Star God Phase Sword in his right hand.

"It's a pity that these precious Star God metals are too scarce, otherwise I can make another one to replace your old power sword."

Luo Xi lamented that he could not copy and study that kind of metal material, which belonged to the deeper secrets of the Necrons.

"That's enough. I like your gift very much, my friend."

Sharokin was as frugal with words as ever, but one could see the joy flowing on his relaxed face and pale skin.

"One more thing. I know your sniping ability is also invincible. You need a sniper rifle that matches you."

Luo Xi clapped his hands, and another metal baffle popped out from the wall, inside which lay another sniper rifle derived from Necron technology.

It is about two meters long and is made entirely of the living metal of the Necrons. Also because of this, it does not fire conventional bombs or lasers, but the Gauss energy most commonly used by the Necrons.

This Gauss weapon with extremely terrifying destructive power left a deep impression on Luo Xi. If weapons such as bombs and plasma can be blocked by superimposed defense, then Gauss weapons are almost unstoppable.

Even if it is a piece of adamantium armor, it can only last for a while in front of it. It will strip off the atomic structure of the armor and directly turn the flesh inside into ashes.

The sword and the gun, these were the best gifts that Roxi gave to Nikona, and the latter took a few steps forward and carried this heretical gun that used Necron technology on his back.

Luo Xi was looking forward to the scene when Nikonna appeared on the battlefield. This warrior lurking in the shadows would harvest the enemy's heads more ruthlessly, like a real crow of mourning.
