(General POV)
Location the Warhammer 40k World-The Immaterium: The Neutral Zone of Chaos, Mount Olympus-The Palace of the Dark Gods; the Dinning Hall
Laharl has just having finish explain the to the Arkefine what terminators, the Mass Effect geth, the two XCOM2 creatures, the codex, and the gatekeepers, are as well as telling Vashtorr about Elder Daemons and the benefits of having them in his service.
For Elder Daemon candidates the Dark One suggested and explained about the Atomic Heart Twins, Megatron, and Sovereign, to say that the Arkefine was both surprised and intrigued by the offering that his rivals were offering to him, was something almost inconceivable, borderline illogical.
Vashtorr had to asked Laharl and the other how they were okay with offering, and permitting one another such leeway and opportunities to grow in power, and be...well peaceful with one another?
The elder Dark Gods, started to chuckle caused it was pure déjà vu for them all, they'd each asked the Dark One and each other the same question, the first time they'd had an actual conversation.
Then Tzeentch turned his ever-changing amount of eyed towards Laharl, and asked the Dark One, in a mocking tone, "How much will you wager that, the remaining Chaos Gods, are going to ask the same question?"
Laharl, he turned to the Changer, and responded, "Tzeentch. I don't make sucker bets, little brother." making the Lord of All Change laugh at the response.
Vashtorr, watched this interaction...honestly, he was unable to fully to process this witty and friendly banter, between Gods that should be tearing each other apart for power, and domination.
Nurgle, he saw Vashtorr was utterly confused, and after eating a slice of century egg and limburger cheese quiche, he caught Vashtorr's attention, telling the Arkefine to relax.
The Grandfather asked politely to Laharl, the responsibility to explain thing in further detail, the Dark One just shrugged and after having a wet coughing fit, the Decaying God starts to explain things to the Arkefine.
From the benefits of sharing their never ending realm of the Immaterium, but also the drawbacks of only having one force of Chaos dominating the others, including Vashtorr.
Without war, plague, change, and creation Vashtorr, he'll never have greater innovations of technology and worship, as machinery needs both life, discord, and demand to progress and develop to greater heights, and even the Great Deceiver, he added to Nurgle's words, encouraging the new changes of technology, and the alternating paths that ingenuity causes.
This caused Vashtorr to analyze all the data revealed to him by the other Chaos Gods, and their was no fault in anything the Rot Lord or the Changer of Ways have told him, that's when Laharl started to rejoin the conversation, after offering another cup of Ambrossia to Vashtorr, which the Arkefine gratefully accepted.
Laharl he started to tell Vashtorr of things that Machenicus, and Skiitari are going to create and would serve a great medium for innovation and recreation for the Master of the Soul Forge.
Then as he was catching Vashtorr's interest more and more, as Laharl moved onto the Adeptus Astartes, or Space Marines from the Dreadnoughts, to bionic replacement, plus he was quite interested in these Iron Hands that Laharl mentioned being one of 21 legions in the nearby future.
Then the Dark One started telling the Arkefine of Infernal Machines and Daemon Engines, which greatly interested the Master of the Soul Forges, exchange for making some of these Brass Scorpions, Foetid Bloat-drones, Sekhetar Robots, Helldrakes, Soul Grinders, and many more Chaos daemon engines of war and anarchy.
Laharl, he obviously knew that Vashtorr was fully enthralled by the offerings that Laharl and the other older Chaos Gods, are putting on the table.
Vashtorr, stayed quiet and is analyzing everything that was told to him, his metallic tubes sucking/drinking the Ambrossia, he was able to fully process, analyze, and comparing the data now withing his two minds, both organic and robotic brains.
And he saw that these negotiations were fully advantageous to his legion and power, along he'll have the protection of the Ochain Shield, access to the Infinity Fountain and summoning many entities worthy of his service, and also equal respect from the older members of the Chaos Pantheon.
Finishing his drink, Vashtorr spoke in his vox like voice, "This offer seems quite profitable. But I request something else, aside from myself no Chaos God is allowed into my Forge of Souls." Laharl shuke his head, it seems that regardless of the alternative world, the Chaos Gods are destined to be forbidden entrance of the Soul Forge.
The Carnage, Change, Plague and Blood Gods, accepted the Arkefine condition, and explained that the next sets of summoning, it was be the Arkefine alone the t-1000s, codex, gatekeepers, geth, as well as Megatron combiner, Sovereign, and the Left & Right Twins all as Elder Daemons.
The Dark One, telling Vashtorr to relax, and once they'd all satisfied with their food and drink they'll lead Vashtorr to the special chamber in Olympus and start the summoning of Vashtorr's latest robotic daemons.
While eating some steak and other dishes, the Dark One he thought that the acceptance of the Arkefine to the Chaos Pantheon, should have been registered by now.
Mentally contacting Aillia, which she'd responded quickly and in a excited voice, (Yes my Lord. What can I do for you today!!? 🫡 😄✨️) and like always Aillia knew how to make him happy, just like his family, he'd commanded Aillia to bring up the Pantheon List, and as a very long, blue transparent screen appeared, and Aillia said, (No problem 😊 Here it is my Lord, anything else?) Laharl mentally shuke his head and told her to rest for now, and he started to read the Pantheon List.

Just like he expected Vashtorr was apart of the Pantheon List, and he already in the 10% of progress...seems that next to Nurgle, Vashtorr would be someone easy to connect with.
Dismissing the floating transparent screen, Laharl returned to his meal, with Vashtorr getting another serving of Ambrossia, soo before work they'd decided to have some peace and summon Vashtorr's new daemons later.
