根据同一本小说的描述，火星龙仅凭自己的模糊记忆就创造出一个无维度空间，一切关于方位和时间的感觉都完完全全地消失了。同时，诸多的维度在这片黑暗中都是同样的滑稽可笑。火星龙的力量足以藐视时间和物质宇宙（值得注意的是，战锤世界观的一个物质宇宙有无限维度，战锤对于维度的定义是多一个维度就多一个向量：长、长宽、长宽高，以此类推）。观测者甚至都不确定“生物”这个术语有没有大到足以描述这存在之广大的的程度。
即使是这个相比于完整虚空龙而言极小的碎片也保留了这尊星神原有的部分性质，在它那里角度都是不可能的、几何都是疯狂的，距离无足轻重而视角也只会是个谎言。一切寻常的法则都被翻了个底朝天，宇宙的原本秩序也被推翻。它所在的整个地方，包括墙壁和地板、空气和其中的每个分子都似乎是一个广大智能的一部分，那存在带着古老的恶意以及惊人的原初力量。这存在没有名字，毕竟，对于这种仅仅一个念头就让整个整个的文明诞生又将其抹去的存在而言，名字没有任何意义。
在人类诞生几百万年以前，它就已然游荡在银河系（从时间上看，是天堂之战以后，所以意味着这一整段都是指虚空龙的这个碎片）。它渴饮着恒星的心脏，并且在一千个河系中被奉若神明。它不在任何一处同时又无所不在，它被束缚同时又有着无上之权能。就连观测者的存在在这无限的不可能之中也变得毫无意义。数十厘米直径的物体被拉扯到无限大，而一个山洞则被扩张到宇宙的大小，同一时刻也在被压缩，观测者的意识已经无法处理这些信息了。
以上描述都和帝皇下面这个表现出自同一本小说。这个是帝皇和火星龙战斗的过程描述，应该是通篇比喻，但是应该还是可以通过这个来大致理解一下战斗过程的。故事中的龙所指的自然就是火星龙，相应的，它眼中发出的闪电、挥舞的利爪自然就是它发动的各种攻击，而它左翼下方那个部位代表着它的弱点；骑士代表帝皇，剑和长矛代表帝皇携带的武器，盔甲应该就是帝皇在物质以及灵能层面的防护。
大概的过程就是：帝皇先手攻击，但是没能破防，第一把武器也随之粉碎；火星龙回击，直接破防并导致帝皇挂彩。帝皇用另一把武器继续进攻，依然没破开防御，自身反倒被火星龙困住，后者直接卸掉了帝皇头部的防御，开始玩弄帝皇。帝皇抓住一个机会，针对火星龙的弱点发动一次攻击，火星龙失去了战斗力，就此被制服了。帝皇随后表示自己无法摧毁它，只能将它带走并且送到一个暗无天日的地方。
原文：The warrior knight leapt to meet theDragon, striking the monster with his lance, but its scales were so hard thatthe weapon broke into a thousand pieces. From the back of his rearing horse,the warrior smote the dragon with his sword, but the beast struck at him withtalons like scythe blades. The warrior’s armour split open and Dalia saw bloodpouring down his leg in a bright stream.
The Dragon towered over its foe, dealing him fearful blows,but the knight caught them upon his shield and thrust his sword against theDragon’s belly. The scales of the beast were like steel plates, rippling likeliquid mercury as they withstood the knight’s every attack. Then the Dragon,infuriated by the thrust, lashed itself against the knight and his horse, andcast lightning upon him from its eyes. The knight’s helmet was torn from himand Dalia saw his face shine out from the battle, pale, lit by some radiancethat shone from within. As he thrust at the Dragon, that radiance grew inpower, so that at last it was like the light of a newborn sun.
The Dragon looped itself around the knight, clawing andbiting at his armour and roaring in triumph. Then, as though the thought hadcome from the warrior, Dalia saw that, no matter how the Dragon writhed, itsought always to protect one place in its body, a place beneath its left wing.
‘Strike, warrior, strike!’ she urged.
As if hearing her words, the knight bent downward and lungedforward, thrusting his sword with a mighty bellow into the Dragon’s body.
The creature gave out a deafening roar that shook stonesfrom the city walls and the burning radiance in its breast was extinguished.Its grasp upon the knight loosened and the lightning faded from its eyes as thegreat beast fell to the ground.
Perceiving that the Dragon was helpless, though not dead,the knight untied the long white banner from his shattered lance and bound itaround the neck of the monster.
With the Dragon subdued, the knight turned to the astoundedhandmaidens and the people of the city, who streamed from its gates in a riotof adulation. The knight raised a hand to quiet them, and such was his presenceand radiance that all who beheld him fell silent.
‘The Dragon is defeated!’ cried the warrior. ‘But it isbeyond even my power to destroy, so I shall drag it in fetters from this placeand bind it deep in the darkness, where it will remain until the end of allthings.’

当时曾被太空死灵用于喂食星神的众神之息装置能够在基本层面上扰乱时空，颠覆改写宇宙的基本法则。
原文：Yes, yes, of course,’ said Kotov, tryinghard to keep the excitement from his voice. ‘Space-time is being violated on afundamental level. Put bluntly, Sergeant Tanna, Telok’s machine is undoing thebasic laws of the universe in order to achieve miraculous results.’
- Gods of Mars

在正常使用的时候，众神之息装置能够同时从几十颗恒星的过去和未来中抽取能量。
原文：‘If I am understanding… Bielannacorrectly, the Breath of the Gods feeds its vast power demands by siphoning itfrom the future and the past, most likely from the hearts of dozens of starssimultaneously.
- Gods of Mars

众神之息装置能够将所有时间线归一，包括所有已有的过去和可能的未来。
原文：The farseer’s eyes shone with a fiercelight, and the burden of age Roboute had seen upon her was undone. The blacklines beneath her porcelain skin were now veins of gold in the palest marble.Every one of the eldar seemed invigorated by the light coming from the Breathof the Gods. A salutary reminder that their senses were not cut from the samecloth as humanity’s.
‘All times become one,’ she said. ‘Even as the threads ofthe past and present are cut, new threads are drawn from the future into theengine’s gyre.

众神之息的作用下，一切不仅仅是不复存在，而且还将会不曾存在。一切曾经以及将来之事物都将会被摸除干净。
原文：Tanna of the Black Templars turned toher, his armour buckled and clawed back to bare metal. She sensed hishostility, primitive drugs boosting his aggression levels to psychotic heights.She pre-empted his inevitable questions with a single imperative. ‘You have togo,’ she said. ‘You have to stop Telok.’ She sensed his confusion, but had notime to explain what she now knew in anything but the most basic concepts.‘Everything is ending,’ she said. ‘What Telok has set in motion will endeverything. Your Emperor, His domain, my kin and all we have fought topreserve. Everything will die. Worse, they will never have existed. All thatwas and all that might ever come to pass will be wiped away.’ Tanna nodded, ashis battle-brothers stood with him. ‘How long will that barrier hold?’ saidAnders through gritted teeth. His thread was shorter than all the others.

下面是星神在实体宇宙造出来的一道伤疤。巨大的重力扭曲了周围的时间和空间，在近距离用第三只眼凝视它的航行者都会当场死亡，星语者看了它则会陷入疯狂，即使是凡人看了它也会被拉入折磨的深渊中。三个天文单位（4.5亿公里）之外的希望号也被引力影响，朝着这道伤疤拉了过去。这道伤疤扭曲了光和时间，并且它可怕的重力场能够在一个心跳内将一整颗行星捏成分子大小的颗粒。
原文：The Halo Scar. No one knew how it hadcome into existence, a graveyard of stars aged beyond their time and a regionof gravitational hellstorms that bent the local spacetime by orders ofmagnitude. Navigators who strayed too close to the Scar with their third eyeexposed were killed instantly, their hearts stopped dead mid-beat. Astropathscaught in a nuncio trance went mad, screaming and clawing at their skulls as ifto expunge horrors they could never put into words.
Even those who looked with mortal eyes began to see thingsin its tortured depths. Gravitational crush pressures that would compressentire planets to a molecule-sized grain in a heartbeat twisted and distortedthe passage of light and time with a reckless and random disregard forcausality.
To approach the wound that lapped at the edge of theImperium a ship had to blind itself to the realities beyond those perceived bymortal senses, and even then it was dangerous to approach too closely. TheSperanza had halted three AU from the edge of the Halo Scar, and Saiixek wasalready having to increase engine output to maintain their position as questingtendrils of gravity sought to pull them into the Scar’s embrace.
A maddened froth of relativistically colliding light andtime painted a bleak picture across the far wall of the Speranza’s commanddeck. From one side to the other, an entoptic representation of the Halo Scar’simmense and impossibly tempestuous depths seemed to mock the gathered magi, asif daring them to explain it or venture a hypothesis as to how it might benavigated. Streams of hyper-dense gaseous matter flailed at the edges, hardenough to cut through a capital ship like a hot wire through thin plastek.Billowing clouds of flexing light reached out like the tendrils of some deepsea cephalopod hunting for prey.
Colours boiled and spontaneously altered theirelectromagnetic wavelengths with each passing second, and swirling eddies ofdistorting gravity threw up images of dying stars, cascading streams of debrisfrom the birth of those self-same stars. Light from the same star registeredover and over again as it was bent tortuously by the unimaginable gravitationalforces, juddering through spacetime in multiple waves. Digital hallucinationsof celestial madness flickered in and out of focus as the protesting imagingmachines struggled to represent the impossible region of space before them.

原文："The angles were impossible, thegeometry insane. Distance was irrelevant and perspective was a lie. Every ruleof normality was turned upside down in an instant and the natural order of theuniverse was overthrown in this new, terrifying vision of distorted reality.The cavern seemed to pulse in every direction at once, compressing andcontracting in unfeasible ways, moving as rock was never meant to move.
This was no cavern. Was this entire space, the walls and floor,the air and every molecule within it, part of some vast intelligence, a beingor construct of ancient malice and phenomenal, primeval power? Such a thing hadno name; for what use would a being that had brought entire civilisations intoexistence and then snuffed them out on a whim have of a name? It had beenabroad in the galaxy for millions of years before humanity had been a breath inthe creator’s mouth, had drunk the hearts of stars and been worshipped as a godin a thousand
galaxies.
It was everywhere and nowhere at once. All powerful and trapped atthe same time.
The monstrous horror of its very existence threatened toshatter the walls of her mind, and in desperation, Dalia looked down at her ownfeet in an attempt to convince herself that the laws of perspective still heldtrue in relation to her own body. Her existence in the face of this infiniteimpossibility was meaningless, but she recognised that only by small victoriesmight she hold onto her fracturing reason.
'No,' she whispered, feeling her grip on thethree-dimensionality of her surroundings slipping as the distance to her feetseemed to stretch out to infinity. Her vertigo suddenly swamped her and shedropped to her knees as her vision stretched and swelled, the interior of thecavern suddenly seeming to be as vast as the universe and as compressed as asingularity within the same instant. She felt the threads of her sanityunravelling in the face of this distorted reality, her brain unable to copewith the sensory overload it was failing to process."

星神碎片能够放出能量攻击，控制弱小者的思想，操控时间的流动，或者将敌人流放到另一个现实中。
原文：They can manifest energy blasts, controlthe minds of lesser beings, manipulate the flow of time and banish foes toalternate realities.
- Codex: Necrons, 5th Edition
星神碎片能够改变因果，重塑时间流，将它的敌人从时间和空间之中删除或者将敌人送到时间这个概念成形之前的那片黑暗之中。
原文：Mutating the flow of causality andremoulding the temporal stream, the C’tan erases its foe’s very existence fromspace and time, or send his foe into the darkness from before time was time.
- Codex: Necrons, 7th Edition
下面就是一个例子。一位名为猩红之神的星神碎片将不止一个兽人老大的存在从时空中删除，导致后者手下的小子们都想不起自己刚刚是在跟着谁打打杀杀。这意味着这种抹除不仅让对手不复存在，而且是让对手不曾存在。
原文：More than one Warboss has been utterlyerased from existence by the Crimson God, leaving the Orks utterly baffled asthey try to recall who it was they were following into battle mere moments ago.
- Codex: Necrons, 8th Edition

星神中的最强者——虚空龙屠杀着全盛的灵族，它即是湮灭本身，也是无节制的破坏与放纵的毁灭。
原文：One of these, the most powerful of itskind, was exterminating the Eldar. They named it the Void-Dragon, oblivionitself, a figure of wanton destruction and devastation.
- Eldar Mythology
这里再次表示虚空龙是最强大、最可怕的星神，它是不朽和永生的代名词，是物质的锻造之炉。
原文：Greatest and most terrible of all theC'tan was Mag' ladroth - the font of immortality, the forge of substance, thatwhich was known as the Dragon.
- Codex: Necrons, 9th Edition

没有任何逻辑以及不合逻辑的东西能够束缚住星神（这种超越逻辑和反逻辑的描述没太大意义，一般讨论中不会取用，但可以用来压制强行包含者）。有用的地方在于，这里表示了星神们是秩序的终极形式，它们是这个宇宙的形式以及存在的化身，它们是时间和空间的主人，它们是现实的化身。
原文：We are the ultimate manifestation oforder. No logic or illogic can bind me.
It spoke now with a mouth that blazed with stolen sunlight.
We are Zarhulash, the Potentate. We are C’tan, of the starsand the tides of time and light. We are the manifestation of this universe’sform and being. We are a god, and you will serve me.
(…)
We are a lord of space and time. We are a manifestation ofreality’s living soul.

星神将人类称为自己的叛逆孩子，并且它们之前见过其他和帝皇一样伪装出神的样子的存在，但是那些存在都消亡了，而帝皇自己也会消亡。帝皇能够欺骗和愚弄时间，但是星神已经超越了时间，它们自己就是时间和空间，也是连接着这两个概念的纽带。
原文：We have seen your god. The wakingnetworks of our treacherous children sing of him from one dynasty to the other.He is no god. He is nothing. There were other beings who had pretensions todivinity. They died. He will die. A being like he can cheat time. We transcendit! We are time, and space, and the bonds between. He is no god. We are.

星神是现实的基本构造质料，所以几乎不可能被摧毁。

星神欺诈者的碎片仅仅几句话就能够释放出模因病毒，导致大量部队倒戈；而仅仅是看向它长达一微秒的时间都有陷入疯狂的风险。看向它的人，就会看到一条通往红色维度的道路，长着利爪的怪物蛰伏着，黄色的眼睛在血雾后面窥探着。这血雾正是时间和空间的结构被撕裂之后放出的鲜血。
原文：Do you wish to taste flesh, my bravesoldiers? The voice reverberated in Trazyn’s organs. Fire from the tombguardians continued whickering at the Deceiver, reflecting off whatever uncleanward it had conjured. You have been made soulless, but take the flesh of othersand you may once again be whole.
The immobile troops began turning their heads, trackingsomething that was not there. Orikan looked for a microsecond, then cast hiseyes away, not wishing to go mad.
What he had seen, what the enthralled Immortals saw, was arent in space. A passage to a red dimension where bent, taloned things lurked.Yellow eyes peering through a curtain of misting blood.
(…)
A fog, the blood of the torn fabric of space-time, began tobillow and collect around the ankles of the struggling androids.
Orikan’s fingers danced over phos-glyph panels as he triedto counteract the corruption. Form a herd immunity to the meme-virus. Keepcontrol of their forces.

上面那个欺诈者碎片一伸手打出了一次攻击，这次攻击并不像是光束或者爆炸，而像是一道维度裂缝，直接飞向了敌人。这次攻击所释放出的，其实就是一个对于空气和金属有着敌意的维度的横向切片。
原文：You bore me, children.
The Deceiver reached out a hand and splayed its fingers.From its palm flashed a sickly-coloured bolt that travelled not like a beam orblast, but like the dimensional rift it was. It came into existence and blinkedout again, a horizontal slice of a dimension anathema to the one of air andmetal.
- The Infinite and the Divine
上述的欺诈者碎片一挥手臂，该手臂就从时间和空间的构造中掠过并且攒出一个黑洞，随后一拳将这束被压缩的物质打飞出去。这道被压缩的物质流包含着多个被吞噬的河系的涡旋。当对方接下这次攻击时，带来的效果也直接抹除了六颗行星的存在。当这个碎片和对手近战的时候，双方身上的伤口都喷涌着创世的炉火。
原文：The blazing one leapt backward and swepta hand through the air, and in the transcendent being’s new vision, he saw thatthe enemy passed its forearm through the fabric of space-time and gathered ablack hole around its wrist like a vambrace. A shining fist, radiating so muchpower that the transcendent being nearly doubled over in a craving, blasted astream of compressed matter that contained the whirl of galaxies longswallowed.
(…)
Compressed matter tore through the rent in space, wiping sixplanets out of existence.
Inhabited worlds? It did not matter.
(…)
Each wound bled the furnace of creation into the physicalplane, each shot of star-stuff gobbled by the famished vampire that had oncebeen Orikan the Diviner.
