Warhammer: I don't want to be a stinky can! ! !

Chapter 808 [250.] Jealousy

Lorgar Aulerion is the one who looks most like the Emperor among them.

He was originally bald, but after becoming Guilliman's minister, Guilliman specially asked Lorgar to grow long black hair.

The metaphor here... After Mortarion saw Lorgar with long hair for the first time, he almost vomited his previous meal - that was the closest he had ever come to having an expression of being unable to hold back.

They saw Robert Guilliman's psychic clone walking towards them, but he didn't even glance at them.

Several primarchs looked at each other and knelt down.

Mortal believers blew horns and military bands began to play, but Guilliman simply strolled on the carpet of his huge ship as if nothing had happened. To him, this was perhaps just the BGM at the beginning of another game.

He was still concentrating on giving instructions to [Luojia] who was recording his orders beside him on many matters.

Due to Robert Guilliman's bad taste, Lorgar's clothes were not as gorgeous as those of his other brothers. With thorn blue climbing on black linen, Lorgar looked quite simple, like a poor priest wandering on a marginal world.

At first glance, no one would associate this guy with simple clothes and a humble smile with the person in power in the Ministry of Faith and Truth.

But he is indeed a subordinate of Robert Guilliman, the controller of faith of this huge empire——

Countless churches of Chaos or Primarch faith were built by the Word Bearers, overthrowing the Imperial Truth originally established by the Lord of Mankind.

The Warp is huge because of human beliefs and emotions. For this empire that is deeply rooted in the Warp, beliefs that can be artificially manipulated and implanted are particularly important.

It was the prayers and faith of the entire human empire for thousands of years that cast the ambition and light in Robert Guilliman's eyes.

Therefore, Guilliman attached great importance to the faith of the Human Empire. Except for Lorgar and Fenus, he would not allow other powers and primarchs of the Empire to interfere.

The gentle footsteps of helmets and boots stopped.

Mortarion's eyelids trembled, and he lowered his head as much as possible to avoid looking at Guilliman.

[Arise, my brothers.]
Guilliman smiled as he watched his brothers slowly stand up. Lorgar beside him bowed humbly, as if he was greeting the Primarchs in front of Guilliman.

[Mortarion] didn't need to look to know that [Angron] beside him was in GC again.

Back then, Angron's power was used to corrupt Lorgar. Or, in other words, Angron's own corruption was the cause of Lorgar's corruption, and Angron gained great pleasure from it.

As of today, [Angron] still remembers the past events and still hopes to repeat the past events again.

But Guilliman would not let Angron harm his tools again.

This is why Angron is so obsessed with Dorn who disappeared that year. He originally had the opportunity to pull down the soul of another loyal Primarch and play some twisted play, but Dorn disappeared.

Mortarion keenly noticed that Lorgar was not looking at Angron, but was staring at Guilliman's back.

Perhaps the shadow of those years still lingers in this body with distorted cognition and has never dissipated.

What happened back then... [Motarion] recalled it, thought of [Guilliman's] actions at that time, and his current appearance... He couldn't help but sneer.

A guy without any bottom line...

Another fate line

【10,000 years ago】

[Lorgar Aurelion] was designed by the [Lord of Mankind], and his position and job were similar to the 13th [Robert Guilliman].

The only difference is that the Lord of Mankind believes that Lorgar's combat power is much lower than Guilliman's, but the sacrifice of combat power is exchanged for higher sympathy and obedience.

In short, [Lorgar] is more likely to perceive the inner thoughts of others, and he and his descendants are more likely to submit rather than rule.

The design of No. 13 [Guilliman] is more inclined towards domination.

In the Emperor's design, Lorgar will become his most powerful assistant in promoting the Imperial Truth. With the help of Lorgar and the Word Bearers, the Imperial Truth will spread to every corner of the Empire.

When the truth of no ghosts is spread, the source of power of the Warp will be cut off, thus achieving the goal of curbing the expansion of the Warp.

At least... in the early days, the Lord of Mankind thought so.

Therefore, on Terra, the Emperor attached great importance to Lorgar's ideological education, and he implanted the concept of the Imperial Truth deeply into the heart of Lorgar Aulerion.

Imperial truth, this has become the key word for [Luojia] in the early stage.

After the psychic storm that tore through the Terran Palace, Lorgar was thrown by the psychic storm to Colchis, a planet filled with Chaos beliefs.

When Lorgar arrived on this planet, he realized that this was a test. For him, no planet was more suitable than Colchis. He would personally eradicate the belief in Chaos and implant the light of the Empire's truth into the soul of every Colchisian.

He will tell the Colchians that there are no gods!

When the Emperor found Lorgar, the Lord of Mankind was pleased to see a thriving planet where the Chaos beliefs had been completely eradicated, people worked hard, and were ecstatic about the ships from the Imperium.

Colchis's belief in the Imperial Truth even spread to several surrounding planets. Due to the similar beliefs and ideas, the Empire took over this star region with almost no effort.

During that time, [Lorgar] was the favorite of the [Lord of Mankind], second only to [Robert Guilliman].

And [Lorgar] did not disappoint the [Emperor]'s trust. He took the initiative to pursue further studies and studied the other end of the Imperial Double-Headed Eagle - the Mechanicus - for a year.

In fact, [Lorgar] knew about the past of [Lord of Mankind] pretending to be [Om Messiah].

The Primarch showed a rare confusion in this regard. He did not understand why the Emperor allowed a fanatical religion to serve as the Empire's right-hand man while promoting the Imperial Truth.

So, late one night, [Lorgar] visited the [Emperor] who was resting in the Terra Palace alone.

This was the second change of thought in Luojia's life.

The [Emperor] showed him a certain truth and helplessness. Perhaps compared to the imperial truth, [Lorgar] originally submitted to the [Emperor], and the sword that the [Emperor] picked up was the imperial truth.

The essence of [Luojia] is obedience. He is more likely to be loyal to a concrete person than to obey an abstract concept.

After that, [Luojia] began to study the effect of group worship on individuals——

There is still no God in the world, but humans need a "God".

And God is just one aspect of a person.

Gods are aspects of the Emperor, inferior to the Emperor - perfect humans are the masters of the world.

Afterwards, the Word Bearers set off. The Emperor was pleased with the speed of their conquest and transformation. At one point, the Word Bearers' legion expansion speed even surpassed that of the Ultramarines.

No one knows how Lorgar did it, even Guilliman who was able to surpass absolute numbers and operations - the Primarchs at that time had not yet realized that faith had power, real power, but with Lorgar, these beliefs were transformed into productivity.

Guilliman was annoyed by this.

Any Primarch could sense that Guilliman's goal was to be the best among them, the first in line, the "eldest son".

The appearance of Lorgar obviously annoyed Guilliman, even though Lorgar had clearly stated that he would not participate in these fights. He only wanted to follow the footsteps of the Lord of Mankind wholeheartedly and build a huge empire.

Just like the mask of Mortarion, Guilliman did not show any dissatisfaction with Lorgar. This blue man once walked freely in the political arena of Macragge and had long become a perfect politician.

On the contrary, in the name of learning, Guilliman and Lorgar became good "friends"——

Maybe it's just for [Luojia].

It was during this time when Guilliman came into contact with Lorgar that he learned about the connection between faith and the warp.

For the first time, Guilliman's gaze stared so deeply into the Warp.

This situation would have continued, but no one knew why. Since Barbaros returned, the Lord of Mankind's temperament changed drastically. He neglected some Primarchs and favored others.

Guilliman truly became the Emperor's favorite, while Lorgar was treated coldly.

[Lorgar] was confused by this situation, so he went to [Guilliman] to confide in him. [Guilliman] suggested that [Lorgar] go to see the Lord of Mankind in person.

So, [Lorgar] visited Terra again.

He knelt in front of the office of the Lord of Mankind for thirteen days and thirteen nights, and talked for thirteen days and thirteen nights. Finally, the Emperor was moved by Luo Jia's loyalty and decided to give his youngest son a chance.

After all, in the mouths of outsiders...

Among those Primarchs, only Lorgar was the most pleasing to the Emperor, and Lorgar's submissive and loyal nature also gave him an alternative label of "safety".

In fact, before this, [Lorgar] often discussed faith and the truth of the empire with [the Emperor]——

It's like Magnus discussing psychic powers with the Emperor.

During this conversation, the Emperor revealed another concept.

"Becoming a God"

There is no doubt that Lorgar expressed his own condemnation of this concept, believing that gods could not be compared to the Emperor - perfect humans are far greater than gods bound by concepts.

During this conversation, the Lord of Mankind did not reveal any of his worries - the word "Dark Lord" remained deep in his mind and would not be mentioned to any Primarch.

But for some reason, since that day and that moment, when the word "Lord of Darkness" was called out by Hades, this word has become clearer and clearer.

The Emperor could clearly feel that he was growing stronger - some kind of violent power of unknown origin was filling him, and it grew more and more fierce as the Great Crusade progressed.

But where does this power come from?
Could it be...himself after he became the King of Darkness?
No, never.

Although the Emperor is cruel and cold-blooded, he never wants to become a god. Gods are slaves bound by concepts, and he is a human being, even if he sometimes needs to use the name of a god.

The Emperor will never become the Dark Lord.

[Lord of Mankind] is extremely aware that if the Dark Lord is finally born, then mankind will no longer have a future, and the price of becoming a god is all of humanity - this is the bottom line that he cannot accept.

And [Luojia]'s words hit the nail on the head about some concerns in [Emperor's] heart, and coincided with [Emperor's] views.

Therefore, the [Emperor] chose to believe [Luojia] once, and this belief made [Luojia] even more fanatical.

After this, the Primarch changed the Imperial Truth spread by the Legion. After showing it to the Emperor, Lorgar appropriately added a section on personal worship.

Guide mankind to firmly believe that humans are the most intelligent creatures and the managers of the universe.

At the same time, under the earnest persuasion of [Luojia], [Emperor] gave up some expedition efficiency and instead paid more attention to the construction of the conquered planets.

Luojia, who has been rooted in the grassroots for a long time, believes that the foundation of ideological construction is the improvement of the quality of life. Beliefs built on unbearable reality, like castles in the air, will eventually collapse.

The revision of the Imperial Truth and the adjustment of the direction of the Great Crusade also made the Emperor feel the decline of that power.

He was sure that there was no Chaos interference in this phenomenon, it was just because he did the right thing, as the progress of the Great Crusade slowed down, or something else, those forces did recede.

until--

Robert Guilliman decided to replace the Emperor, this hesitant, duplicitous tyrant.

Guilliman was genuinely puzzled and angry at the fact that the Emperor had begun to focus on the people's livelihood in the Empire.

He regarded it as the greatest evidence of Lorgar's lies about the Lord of Mankind, and after contacting Mortarion and the Lord of Change, Guilliman decided not to tolerate it any longer.

He first set his sights on [Luojia].

But Lorgar's loyalty to the Lord of Mankind is no empty talk. Everyone knows his fanaticism for the Emperor. Even if the Emperor ordered him to burn Colchis immediately, Lorgar would do so without hesitation and would not waver in the slightest.

The Word Bearers' primarch's admiration and submission to the Emperor surpassed reason and logic, and surpassed the words and Imperial truths he wrote.

This is why Guilliman was so puzzled, he could not understand the fanatics.

It is also impossible to understand why the Lord of Mankind would choose to abandon efficiency just because of the other party's loyalty and submission.

Even if he rebuked him, Guilliman could not directly confront Lorgar. At that time, apart from the Ultramarines, the Word Bearers had the largest number of soldiers in the Empire.

This was even after the Emperor later intentionally limited the size of the Word Bearers.

Guilliman knew that he could not be an enemy of Lorgar, but how could he corrupt Lorgar? How could he make Lorgar turn against the Emperor?

Just when Guilliman was in trouble, Mortarion, who had already been deeply involved in the way of Chaos, knocked on the door of Lord Macragge late one night.

He came with a suggestion and a suitable person.

[Angron].

Among all the Primarchs, Angron is the only one who can directly change the thoughts and emotions of the other party.

But he never performed this outside the Legion until Herrera fell into the hands of Lady Psyche and witnessed Angron's near-insane pleasure parties.

A bold and evil idea took shape in Guilliman's mind.

He will take the Emperor's place and be the first to realize this in Luojia's mind.
