Warhammer, how did I become Erebus?

"Listen my brother. I am not debating with you. I simply wish to hear the will of the God-Emperor."

Lorgar thought quickly and then restated his meaning. He believed that Erebus did not understand what he said.

"Hmph. You still don't understand what I'm saying. That guy you saw? You can call him the Yellow-skinned God. Of course, it's better to call him the Divine Emperor."

"You always use your own thoughts to speculate what the gods are thinking, but do you think the gods care?"

When Lorgar heard what Erebus said, he was stunned for a moment. It seemed to open up a new way of thinking for him, but he also felt that something was wrong.

"Lorga, do not listen to his blasphemous language. He is a damned heretic, worse than the old guard. We will execute him now, hang him, and burn him to a charcoal."

Erebus looked at Kor Phaeron, who seemed to be getting anxious, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In fact, he actually laughed out loud.

"My brother, just as the Divine Emperor has given you revelation. But in the same way, I am also giving revelation to the ** Emperor. We should not try to guess the meaning of the gods."

"When you think you're on the right path, it's actually wrong in the eyes of the gods. When you're on the wrong path, the gods will think you're even more wrong."

"A true god will not bless his believers at random. Instead, he will give his believers more hardships to test them and help them grow."

Just as Erebus was speaking even more vigorously, Kor Phaeron could bear it no longer. He took two steps forward, knife in hand, but Lorgar stopped him with a direct hand.

"That's nonsense. You're talking nonsense."

Kor Phaeron roared madly, as if to shatter everything Erebus had said. If Lorgar hadn't stopped him at that moment, he would have cut Erebus into eight pieces. He would never allow this arrogant and heretical person to join their team.

"Tell me, my brother. Do you think the gods care? Do you think the Yellow-skinned God cares about death? Does he care about your death? Or does he care about the death of all humans on this planet?"

Lorgar's heart wavered slightly at Erebus's words. He remained silent. As the Son of God, his every word and action represented the gods. Just as Erebus had said, if the gods didn't care, why should they believe in them?

"Of course he cares about my brother."

Lorgar heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Erebus's next words, but then he became angry again, as if Erebus was teasing them.

"Okay, my friend, my brother, can you please say something?"

Lorgar stared at Erebus with a hint of melancholy. After all, someone who breathed heavily while talking was really unbearable.

Chapter 5 Luojia: Am I a heretic?

Looking back at the history of Warhammer 40.

Why did Lorgar turn to Chaos? Wasn't it because after the Emperor destroyed the Perfect City, he lost his faith, his heart was filled with confusion, and he had no idea what he should do.

As someone who relied on faith to sustain him, Erebus knew only too well how much the man before him truly lacked love. Even though he appeared to be quiet, carefree, and well-educated on the surface, he actually lacked love.

"Okay, then I'll say a few human words. First of all, you have to know that the Yellow Skin God doesn't love you, me, or the old man next to you who's holding up a knife as if to chop me into pieces."

Lorgar raised his eyes to look at Kor Phaeron beside him. Under Lorgar's gaze, the latter put down the long sword in his hand.

He now deeply regretted why he hadn't just struck Erebus to death with a single blow, allowing him to utter such blasphemous and heretical words.

Erebus saw the Korfa man put down his knife, and the corner of his mouth curled up, and he continued to speak.

"My dear brother, let me tell you a story. Long ago, there was a dried corpse sitting on a golden throne. Ah! Of course! This did not happen; it was only a metaphor."

"He is extremely cruel, bloodthirsty and violent. He regards people as currency. Every moment he does not wage war, and wherever he looks, it is within his territory."

"And at this moment, four gods bravely stood up. They represent courage, life, wisdom, and joy."

"When you encounter the false emperor on the dangerous Golden Throne, he'll only tell you, little brat, to stop crying and pick up a knife to fight the enemy. But the four great gods will tell you, 'You're already very courageous. You've done well. Why not make yourself more beautiful? Read more. Knowledge will help you overcome your sorrow. Which side do you think is just?'"

Luo Jia didn't say anything, he just simply stared at Erebas, which made Erebas feel very bored.

"Well, you tall, silent little mute, let me tell you something. A true god never cares whether his followers believe in him or not. He will only tell you how to solve your problems when you are in the most difficult time. False gods, on the other hand, will constantly give you all kinds of power, whether it's wisdom, strength, or even unparalleled appearance."

"When a god looks at you, you should pay attention. Why is he looking at you? Why is he giving you power? What is there in you that makes him look forward to you? A mortal with a little strength?"

"The Divine Emperor only cares about the future of humanity. Our faith is insignificant to Him. That's why He doesn't care about you, me, or even that perverted man behind you. He only cares about humanity. This is what I believe in. Because I believe in the Divine Emperor, I will only fight for humanity and become currency in the Emperor's hands."

"Glory is all false, my brother. Praise and action are not mutually exclusive. This is the guidance the Emperor has given me."

What nonsense! Erebus knew he was talking nonsense. He had no idea what he was talking about. Some of the things he said couldn't even be carefully considered, but what did he want to say? Should he just talk about the gods of the warp, or that the Emperor was just a yellow-skinned riddler? He didn't want to be beaten.

Instead, Lorgar seemed to be possessed by a demon. He listened carefully to Erebus's words and felt that something was wrong. In fact, everything was wrong. After all, the Empire now advocated the Imperial Truth, and what were they doing now? The fucking Mythical Emperor!

But this seemed to open a new door for Luojia, but it also felt slightly in conflict with his own teachings.

This feeling of entanglement made Luojia a little confused. Should I believe it or not? Should I believe it or not?

Luojia's mind was full of random thoughts, and finally Luojia came to a conclusion, which was how he should believe in the Emperor.

"Then how should we worship the Divine Emperor?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lorga finally spoke. Erebus breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the little mute Lorga finally spoke. At least it proved that Lorga did not label him a heretic, or let Kor Phaeron stab him to death directly.

"As you believe!"

"As you believe?"

"Correct!"

“What is Ruxin!”

"Of course you don't believe it on the surface, but you do believe it in your heart! You may not believe it on the surface, but you absolutely cannot not believe it in your heart!"

Lorgar pondered for a long time. What did this mean? Lorgar's brain circuits were completely unable to keep up with Erebus's brain circuits. Only Kor Phaeron realized that Erebus was just talking nonsense!

"heresy!"

Kor Phaeron roared!

"I offer my head to the throne! If you insult me, I will kill you! I swear by the Yellow-skinned God!"

After being cursed several times as a heretic by Kor Phaeron, Erebus could no longer bear it. He broke the ropes on his body and walked straight towards Kor Phaeron. Kor Phaeron walked forward without showing any weakness, knowing in his heart that Lorgar would definitely rush up to stop Erebus from such impulsive behavior.

But he didn't notice that Luo Jia was in a state of profound thought at this moment.

Kor Phaeron came forward with a knife in hand. Erebus looked at the knife slowly swinging towards him and directly grasped the blade. Blood flowed down the blade. Erebus, who was full of adrenaline, did not feel any pain at this time. He glared at Kor Phaeron with his eyes and punched Kor Phaeron on the head.

"Crack."

Kor Phaeron's eyes turned white, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

Only then did Luo Jia react. He quickly stood up to check on Kor Phaeron, and was relieved when he found that his adoptive father was just unconscious.

Then Lorgar looked at Erebus.

Before Lorga could blame Erebas, Erebas had already placed his hands on Lorga's shoulders, and his mellow and clear voice rang out from his throat.

"Repeat after me! Son of God! Offer your head to the throne! Slay the monsters!"

"Offer the skull to the throne! Destroy the monsters!"

Subconsciously, Lorga followed Erebus in reciting.

"Are you willing to serve the Divine Emperor for the rest of your life? To serve the Yellow-skinned God! Luo Jia!!!"

While Lorjia was still in shock, Erebus forced him to swear an oath, at least to ensure that he would not be killed by Lorjia, which would be considered a victory!

"I am willing!"

"I will never betray my faith! I will never turn my back on the God-Emperor! I will never turn my back on another god!"

“I do!!!!”

"The sound is too quiet!"

"I do! I will fight for the Divine Emperor for the rest of my life!"

"No! Lorgar! It's for humanity! You are disloyal! You—heretic!"

When Lorgar heard Erebus's last words, his mind went blank and his face turned pale.

Did he misunderstand the Way of the God-Emperor? He was—a heretic?

Erebus saw Lorgar's body go limp and quickly helped him up.

It’s bad, I’ve gone too far.

Chapter 6: Heretic Lorgar, come and draw Kor Phaeron!

How do you comfort a crying man?

哄？

Why coax?

Erebus looked at Lorgar, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and muttered all kinds of nonsense.

"I'm sorry to the God-Emperor!"

"Why didn't I think of this sooner!"

"It turns out I have violated the Divine Emperor's will!"

Lorga was crying. Yes, as the Son of God, and the believers behind him, when they saw Lorga crying so miserably and sadly, they didn't know how to step forward to persuade him. Some people even took the first step when they saw Erebus's cold and deadly eyes staring at them.

"my brother."

"I'm guilty!"

"do not Cry!"

"I feel ashamed of the Yellow-skinned God!"

Erebus originally planned to persuade Luojia verbally, but who knew that this guy was now like a possessed person, crying like a fart spirit whose toes were stepped on, and there was nothing he could do.

Erebus knelt on one knee, looking at Lorgar who was crying with her face covered.

"Lorjia."

"I'm guilty."

Erebus couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Luojia twice. The sound of breaking wind made Luojia alert for a second, but in the next second, Luojia's head swung away and then swung back.

Lorgar was momentarily at a loss for what to do after being suddenly attacked by Erebus. Is this the punishment the God-Style-God imposes on himself?

On the ground, Kor Phaeron was trying to get up in a daze. He seemed to have lost consciousness after being knocked unconscious by Erebus's fist as big as a sandbag.

Just as Kor Phaeron raised his head, he saw Erebus pounding Lorgar. The loud slapping sound made Kor Phaeron adjust his breathing, and then he closed his eyes, and the slight movement of his head falling was just noticed by Erebus.

So he just let Luojia cry like a woman.

He turned and crouched beside Kor Phaeron.

He pried Kor Phaeron's eyelids open with his fingers.

"Show me the courage you had just to call me a heretic! You heretic!"

Kor Phaeron, who was instantly labeled a heretic by Erebus, could no longer lie still.

“You…”

Erebus didn't want to hear any more nonsense from Kor Phaeron's mouth, so he punched him again. With Kor Phaeron lying on the ground like a plank, Erebus stood up with satisfaction.

He came to Luo Jia, who was still crying, and kicked him on the butt.

"Stop crying! If you keep crying, I'll tell the Yellow-skinned God you're disloyal!"

Hearing Erebus' words, Lorgar instantly wiped away his tears. Then he looked up at Erebus.

"How can I atone for my sins?"

Erebus was silent for a moment when he heard this. How could he atone for his sins? How could he know? Suddenly, Erebus thought of the destruction of the Perfect City, which was also the path of Lorgar's corruption. His eyes rolled.

"Build a statue of the Divine Emperor!"

"Build a city of faith for the Divine Emperor!"

After hearing what Erebus said, Lorgar instantly realized that this was his way of atonement, but whether this was in conflict with what Erebus said.

"Can......."

"Then wait for the Divine Emperor to destroy these!"

"????"

Luo Jia wondered if he had heard it wrongly, waiting for the God-Emperor to destroy him?

Wait, is there something wrong?

"You're an idiot! The God Emperor knows you were disloyal before, so you have to pay the price! Do you think the Yellow-skinned God needs to be worshipped? Just keep him in your heart, whatever he says is what you want. I always say that faith is not about vanity. If he is such a materialistic god, why would we believe in him?"

After hearing what Erebus said, Luo Jia felt that there was some truth in it.
