Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 487 The Road of Faith
"Leave it here for now."

Erebus stood between the Primarch and Varis.

"None of us will take this creature away. We'll leave it here for now!"

When the hero who bound the demon proposed a compromise solution, both Varis and Lorgar thought the proposal was good.

The Think Tanks put the demon down.

Varis begins contacting Angron and the Lord of the White Knights.

Lorgar put away his warhammer and waited silently for his brothers to arrive.

Erebus looked at the Primarch, lost in thought.

He could understand why the Primarch wanted to take this monster away, because this monster had just admitted that he was a demon.

Finding evidence that proves the existence of a belief and then promoting it is itself a means of missionary work.

Now that the perfect city has been destroyed, the existence of demons can indirectly prove the existence of God in faith.

As for whether this demon could be taken away... considering the Primarch's character, Erebus thought that it was highly likely that he could not be taken away. However, at this moment, the Primarch might just want to cause some trouble for the World Eaters, even if he would eventually compromise with Angron.

Lorgar did not know what was going on in the scion's head. If he had known, he would have discovered that Erebus saw through him.

While waiting in silence, the Librarians communicated using psychic powers to decide whether or not to exile the demon on the spot.

But in the religious world of Kull, where the structure of reality has been greatly weakened, exiling the demon cannot be done with psychic magic and requires a ritual.

"listen to me……"

Luo Jia suddenly heard a voice ringing in his ears.

The Primarch subconsciously looked around but didn't see anyone talking. Finally, he realized something and set his sights on the demon.

"Exile me," the demon said. "Let me leave here, and I will reward you."

These words hit Luo Jia hard in the heart.

The Primarch was so eager to know more that he even forgot to reflect on why the demon's will could break through his mental defenses.

"What are you?" Lorgar asked.

"Devil, that's what you real creatures will call me in the future."

The devil answered frankly, just as he had answered the mortal's question without hesitation before, saying bluntly that he was not an angel at all, but a devil.

"You seem unable to lie." Lorgar recalled the words he had just heard from a long distance - the words in which the demon directly admitted his identity to mortals.

The demon replied: "Because I am restricted by some concepts. The advanced beings among us demons are born because of concepts, become powerful because of concepts, and are also restricted by concepts."

"I just said that you seem unable to lie, but I don't think so completely. In religious stories, demons are often full of lies. Maybe your so-called honesty is also a lie." Lorgar said, "Save your energy. I don't know what you mean by exile. Don't try to deceive me. Just wait here honestly."

"cheat?"

The devil is laughing.

"Deception and lies are the lowest level of tricks. One lie requires countless lies to cover it up, but the truth does not need to be covered up. Just telling a few fragmented truths is enough to deceive a person to death."

"Take a step back and say, why don't you try to ask me some questions? Even if I am just lying, then just treat it as if you are listening to a lie. If you choose not to believe it, what will you lose in the end?"

Hearing this, Lorgar pondered for a moment, and then tried to ask: "Are there gods in the warp?"

"There are gods even in the real universe, let alone the Supreme Heaven?" the devil said bluntly.

"Who is it?" Lorgar asked again.

"Your creator," the demon replied, "the leader of mankind."

Lorgar was silent.

"The Emperor is God!"

The demon continued.

"He concealed this fact."

"There is nothing wrong with your faith. He is God."

"It's just that he is still in the state of not being born yet, otherwise he would not appear in the real universe, but in the highest heaven."

"He is a god, but he doesn't want to be a god, so he particularly resists being worshipped as a god."

"But even so, he is still a being that is about to be promoted. His god-like power has already been revealed at this time."

Lorgar couldn't help but think of why he firmly believed that the Emperor was a god.

Because the emperor's performance is that of God.

When a man speaks like God, acts like God, and possesses God-like powers, then he is naturally a god, no matter how he sees himself.

Believe in the scientific and enlightened truth of the Empire, not in the ignorant and dark religions. The human race should create a better future with their own hands, rather than waiting for charity from the gods - the Emperor once warned Lorgar this, but this made Lorgar more determined that the Emperor was a God.

An individual with great power, yet loves mortals so much that he even wants to use the lie of the Imperial Truth to downplay his own merits and existence. Such selfless love... The God-Emperor loves the world! Praise the God-Emperor!
"What kind of god is he? The god of the human race?" Lorgar continued to ask after thinking.

"How should I put it... maybe because he is a human, so in a way, he can indeed be called the God of Humanity."

The devil still answered honestly.

The information he then spoke was in no way different from what the Emperor had spoken to Angron.

“The Dark Lord. This is his godhood after being promoted. He represents hatred and destruction without a source. However, after being promoted to god, he will not bring a bright future to mankind, but will directly lead to the extinction of the human species.”

"Faith will distort a creature's reality, and he has no way to resist this distortion, so he will order you not to worship him as a god." "He wants to save the human race, not destroy it."

Hearing the devil say this, Lorgar's eyes turned red.

Tears welled up in the Primarch's eyes.

Although he is a god, he refuses to be promoted to a more powerful being for the sake of his race, and is willing to endure the hardships of flesh and blood, pursuing obscurity more than seeking to be worshipped.

Perhaps the Emperor would go into hiding once his mission was accomplished, allowing Malcador to erase all evidence of his existence.

It makes humans really believe that in those ancient dark ages, it was ordinary people who turned the tide and changed the world with their own hands and firm and enlightened thinking.

This is a supreme love, a perfect embodiment of God’s love for the world.

As Luo Jia thought about this, tears rolled down his cheeks.

"You ask me the truth and I will tell you the truth. Exile me and don't let them take me away." The devil said again.

"Lies." Lorgar scolded, "As a believer in God, how can I believe the devil's lies?"

The demon rolled his eyes and said, "You ask me a question and I will tell you. It's that simple. The desire for answers from those who seek knowledge is the reason for my birth."

"Get out of my head!" Lorgar concentrated his attention and "expelled" the demon's voice.

The two of them were conversing on a spiritual level, so even if they talked a lot, only a few seconds had passed in reality.

Erebus could only see the Father of Genes crying for no apparent reason, but he didn't know why.

"Let's go." Lorgar turned around.

After a brief trance, Erebus left with the Primarch.

No one knew why Lorgar suddenly changed his mind, but no one could stop him from leaving.

Soon Qin Xia teleported down with Angron and prepared the ceremony on the spot.

……

Lorgar walked for a distance and suddenly stopped, motioning Erebus to wait a moment.

After Erebus stood still, Lorgar sat on the street and fell into deep thought.

What the devil says may be lies and may not be credible.

But it may also be true that the Emperor is about to ascend to godhood.

only……

There is no point in worrying about whether what the demon said is the truth.

Lorgar realized this.

You have to argue and find the truth yourself.

After thinking about it, Lorgar began to think about the next thing, which is what to do if the Emperor is really the god of the future?
Instead of spreading religious beliefs, they would spread the Imperial Truth, just like other Legions did, and implement the Emperor's will?
But that's not fair.

The Emperor loves humanity so much that he gives unconditionally to humanity and asks for nothing in return. He even hopes that humanity will think that he is just an ordinary and powerful psychic.

This is simply not fair.

How can humans enjoy this kind of love without giving anything in return?

The ridiculous native primitive religions in Colchis all knew to kill some livestock and offer some fresh water when worshiping the gods.

It would not be fair at all if it was always the Emperor who thought about humanity, and humanity, who was protected and loved by him, did not think about the Emperor.

Besides, what the devil said might be half true and half false.

Why did the birth of the gods of the human race lead to the extinction of humanity?
Thinking of this, Lorgar pondered, and then thought that perhaps the Emperor's love was precisely because he had a conceptual connection with the human race.

Otherwise, why would such a powerful psychic stand up to face the mess in the galaxy instead of considering his own interests?
Perhaps that extinction is only physical extinction, and humans will be elevated along with the Emperor.

"Father."

Erebus's sudden call interrupted Lorgar's thoughts.

Luo Jia raised his head and stared at his offspring with dissatisfaction.

Erebus believed that the Primarch was thinking about religious matters, and might even be questioning whether his own religious beliefs were true.

So he spoke at this time.

"If this is the will of God."

"Father."

"If this is the will of God, we should obey unconditionally. I even think we should take the initiative to destroy the Perfect City."

Having said this, Erebas swallowed and felt that his words were too harsh.

But he continued talking anyway.

"I think this is a glorious test. We, the Word Bearers, should bear such a glorious test instead of giving this honor to other legions."

Hearing this, Lorgar stood up and left, leaving a word for Erebus.

"You don't care about our God at all. You just passively enjoy his gifts. You are greedy and stupid."
