Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 603 The So-called Divine Emperor

……

"My lord! All the warships in the fleet are paralyzed!"

"Warp creatures are pouring into every warship!"

Lorgar stood on the command deck, listening to the report.

The flagship's Geller standpoint was the first to collapse, and the reality bubble formed by the standpoint was gradually disintegrating.

The weirdness in the Warp is infiltrating the warship, causing all sorts of strange sights to appear within the Primarch's field of vision.

The reason why all the warships in the fleet were paralyzed had long been discovered.

They are a group of deceived believers.

Those believers thought they were worshipping the God-Emperor, but this was not the case. An evil person took advantage of their obsession with faith and led them astray.

That evil person is Aribati.

Did it turn out that Eribati was not limited to appearing around Eribas? No, Eribati appeared near Sosa's corresponding structure in the subspace.

The misguided believers found a way to paralyze Geller's position.

When faced with deception, some people of faith are no better than the diehards in the Word Bearers who still adhere to the Imperial truth. At least the latter are truly not guided by any monsters or demons.

"What should we do?" asked one of the descendants.

"I don't know." Lorgar shook his head.

Nothing can be done now.

The navigator had gone mad a long time ago.

The ship is being invaded by Warp creatures.

Apart from Aribati who just jumped out and explained his evil plan like a big villain and said that you are dead, I haven't seen any enemies so far. I don't even know where the enemies are, so naturally there is no way to fight back.

Even if Luo Jia was unwilling to accept it, he would have to admit sooner or later that there was nothing he could do except wait for death.

A Word Bearer on the command deck suddenly said, "Pray." He suddenly raised his voice, "Pray to the God-Emperor! This is the only thing we can do when facing those supernatural forces! The power of the God-Emperor will guide us out of the predicament!"

This sentence resonated immediately.

Everyone on the command deck, whether they were Word Bearers Space Marine officers, mortal naval officers, or servants, all began to pray.

Lorgar also began to pray.

Everyone knelt on the ground and prayed to the Imperial double-headed eagle emblem hanging high on the command deck.

Start from the first page of the Book of the Holy Scriptures.

Everyone was mumbling something to themselves, and eventually the mumbling became more and more consistent, with everyone speaking in unison.

The same goes for the people on the ship and even in other parts of the fleet.

Supernatural phenomena occurred uncontrollably on various ships. Faced with the invasion of fear, people did not know what to do to solve it, so they prayed.

This behavior really works.

Thoughts, emotions, these non-material things create waves in the warp.

The light gradually enveloped the fleet.

The evil spirits that invaded the ship were expelled.

Those who had been driven mad by the power of the Warp gradually regained their sanity and joined in the prayers.

The entire fleet was bathed in light.

Until the light became more and more dazzling, Luo Jia couldn't help but open his eyes out of curiosity.

The Primarch would never forget what he saw at that moment from now on.

A sun floated ahead of the fleet.

It was an extremely dazzling, but cold sun.

It looks extremely hot visually, but feels extremely cold, cold to the bone.

The light grew brighter until Lorgar's entire vision turned white.

Then the light dimmed slightly.

Lorgar found himself not on the command deck, but in a field of pure white light.

A hand stretched out from the Primarch's chest.

The Primarch lowered his head and saw a child crawling through him.

look around.

There are countless humans nearby.

These humans all appear to be shimmering and translucent, indicating that they are souls rather than entities.

Countless human souls moved towards one direction, a center, and the faint light on their bodies gathered there, forming a light that could not be looked directly at.

Suddenly, the Primarch subconsciously took a few steps back and put his hands in front of him, as if something was coming towards him.

But in reality, what is coming is just information.

Just one piece of information caused the Primarch's will to be tormented and shocked.

At this moment, the Primarch felt himself being consumed by the storm and fire, and every cell in his body was burning or being torn apart.

And that piece of information, mixed in with the pain and suffering, gave Luo Jia great spiritual encouragement.

"Number seventeen."

"One of my twenty-two tools."

"Backup measures."

"Fools."

These four names let Lorgar know the identity of the Cold Sun - it was the Emperor.

Being called a tool and a fool by his father only made Lorgar happier, for it was proof of his divinity.

"My God!" Luo Jia gritted his teeth and endured the torment, forcibly gathering his will and communicating with the God-Emperor.

Under the impact of the god's psychic energy, Lorgar was unable to utter complete words and could only ask questions intermittently in his mind.

The question is: What happened?
Information is pouring in again.

Lorgar knew everything that was happening now.

The Warp Storm was created by the Four Chaos Gods themselves.

They are trying to turn a real universe into their own delicious meal.

At the same time, Luo Jia also knew more things.

That is: the Four Gods are not four specific god-level beings, but a collection of many concepts in the subspace. They are essentially just puppets of Chaos.

The four gods were shaped by chaos with instincts to erode the real universe.

The purpose is to completely disintegrate the veil of the real universe and turn the universe back into the original matter before the Big Bang - ether.

Then this primordial matter will be integrated into the subspace, or be swallowed by the subspace, and become the substance that constitutes the foundation of the subspace.

Developing more believers in the real universe, spreading their own beliefs, manipulating chess pieces in the real universe, and bringing the Great Game to the real universe... In fact, these are not the fundamental purposes of the Four Gods. Their purposes are consistent with those of Chaos, which is to ultimately integrate the entire real universe into the subspace.

And in many real universes, they succeeded.

All this information made Lorgar feel desperate.

He originally thought that the Chaos Gods were the most terrifying existences, but in reality, they were just beings affected by Chaos, just like those demons that Qin Xia said were "sometimes extremely low-powered because they were affected by concepts", and were just pawns of a more terrifying existence. "Back to reality."

“Stop… from ascending to the Gods…”

"Don't go back... find a place... to survive..."

"To save... me..."

Lorgar heard countless voices giving him orders.

The voice seemed to come from countless wills rather than a single existence.

In the cold sun before him that truly proves that the Divine Emperor is God, there seem to be countless emperors.

Those powerful wills one after another converged into a terrifyingly large, but absolutely not unified will entity.

To give contradictory, conflicting commands or words.

Luo Jia asked again: My God, are you the Black King now?
The cold sun responded again.

This time, countless wills gave a unanimous answer: Not really.

The information also flooded into Luo Jia's mind.

The Primarch knew what the Black King was.

It was a god of chaos that was about to be born, representing primordial destruction, and it only wanted to destroy everything.

The great game of the Chaos Gods has once again added a new player.

And the person most likely to become the Black King is the Emperor.

The gods just want the Black King to be born.

At the same time, Luo Jia also learned one thing - the eighth trial, the eighth way of chaos.

Each trial represents a chaos god.

The God-Emperor of today is nothing like the God of Chaos like the Black King, but a spiritual entity of the Warp that has been shaped and distorted by human beliefs.

The countless human souls Lorgar had seen before were the force of faith that shaped and twisted the Emperor.

After instilling in Lorgar about the God of Chaos in the Warp, the Emperor gave him another piece of information that shocked him greatly.

That is the origin of the cold sun.

In the multiple reality universes mentioned earlier, there is a reality universe whose veil was weakened at the birth of the universe. The Emperor was also born in that universe. After realizing that he would become the Dark King, the Emperor chose to find an Ancient Creation that could bind souls.

That is not the Golden Throne, it is more powerful and more terrifying than the Golden Throne.

Then the Emperor sat on it and bound his soul. Humans were grateful for his sacrifice, so they worshiped him and believed in him.

Faith distorted it into an entity in the Warp, and then it began to look for more of itself, with the purpose of avoiding its own deification and really adding another Chaos God to the Warp.

In those real universes that are on the verge of destruction, it will affect everyone in the real universe, choose their own chess pieces, and then prevent another self in another real universe from becoming the Black King.

Even if there is no crisis at all in a real universe, it will find a way to create a crisis and force the Emperor to make a decision to become the Dark King.

Ascend to the gods.

From an objective perspective, this is sublimation for an individual in the real universe.

But more and more of the Emperor became part of the Sun, and preventing the birth of the Black King was the only thing they could agree on.

They are like crabs in a bucket, rushing towards their fellow crabs who are about to climb out of the bucket and sublime, and trying their best to pull them back into the bucket.

This is the origin of the Cold Sun and its purpose.

The reason that drove the cold sun and the countless Emperors in the sun to reach a consensus was that ascending to the Black King would cause the human species to experience the same catastrophe as the Eldar. The Eldar were able to escape with the help of the Webway, leaving behind a few survivors.

Humans without the Webway will only be completely exterminated after the birth of the Black King, who is strongly related to their own race.

"We... are just one of countless selves in countless real universes?" Lorgar found it difficult to accept the fact that this broke the uniqueness.

Information flooded into Lorgar's mind again.

The Cold Sun told the Primarch that what happened in the real universe where he was would have a huge impact on the subspace, so that universe was of course unique.

For example, if the emperors of other real universes choose to embrace the power of the Black King, they will eventually become gods, but they will only become part of the Black King. However, if the emperor of Lorgar's reality chooses to become a god, he will directly shape the entire Black King.

Now, the Cold Sun needs Lorgar to return to his own universe and find a way to put the Emperor on the Golden Throne, or use any similar method to trap him, and then have the countless other versions of him in the Cold Sun be brought into this sun-like entity.

There is absolutely no middle way, such as choosing not to become a god and living in a mortal state. This is not acceptable.

Chaos' erosion of the real universe will never end unless Chaos is destroyed, which is simply impossible.

Any trouble that the Emperor cannot resolve in his mortal state may tempt him to embrace the power of the Black King, who once born exists forever.

"Son...we don't want to do this, but...the Divine Emperor..."

"Or the Black King! Become the Divine Emperor or the Black King! This is the choice I must make!"

"He... I... We can only choose one of these two destinies..."

"Go back to your real universe, you just need to tell me these things, and then he will make a wise decision!"

"Let him sacrifice! Make the sacrifice after completing the Webway Project and saving the human species in that universe!"

Countless wills were roaring or whimpering to Lorgar.

Luo Jia suddenly felt a little scared at this moment.

The cold interior of the sun is actually not cold at all.

The Emperor, who was distorted by countless human beliefs, did become a true god, but not an extremely cold god.

Lorgar has another question: If there is more than one real universe, then what are the selves in other real universes doing?
The Divine Emperor also explained it to him.

Most of the Lorgar rebelled.

At the same time, the Emperor informed Lorgar of the most likely event that would occur on the veil of reality - the Horus Heresy.

During the Horus Heresy, Lorgar was a believer in the Chaos God.

The God-Emperor decided to give Lorgar some revelation.

This is why Lorgar was able to defeat his adoptive father Kor Phaeron, who had lured him to a Chaos-corrupted planet and wanted to use him as a sacrifice to Chaos.

Lorgar thought about it.

Indeed.

It was during that time that he felt the power of the God-Emperor during the battle with his adoptive father, and that was why he was convinced that he was on the right path when he was confused.

But the God-Emperor, this cold sun, cast its gaze back on that important reality and put its efforts on Lorgar, not because Lorgar was so unique or indispensable.

There is only one reason:
In that real universe, because many things have been changed, the Emperor might make an unwise decision, that is, to really stop and retire after everything is settled, thus becoming a super time bomb that could be promoted to the Black King at any time, which could explode at any minute and destroy everything that will usher in beauty and prosperity in that real universe.

Lorgar was the only person in that universe who was willing to listen to the God-Emperor and follow his guidance.

There really is no one else available.

……

Everything that Luo Jia had experienced in the past ended in Qin Xia's perception.

"There is still one more player in the great game, and that is the cold sun you see."

Qin Xia said.

He recalled the future he had learned from Kamas in another future timeline when he destroyed the Plague Heart, that is, the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne. Even if the Webway Project was successful, humans would still believe in the God-Emperor.

He thought that the future had completely changed...

But now, don’t be the Black King (God Emperor version) and join the battle.
