It wasn't like this, it really wasn't like this.
When he was about to engage in such worship and superstition, his father sent Guilliman to burn his perfect city. He even made him kneel in the perfect city and admit his mistake, but now?
Now his father has come forward and admitted that he is a god.
And he also introduced another god.
The Stellaris Lord, Omnissiah, the other head of the Imperium's double-headed eagle, the other Emperor of Mankind.
This made Lorgar feel extremely uncomfortable. All his efforts were ruthlessly denied by his father, and he ultimately turned to chaos. But ten thousand years after turning to chaos, he discovered that his father had adopted these very efforts.
This feeling was like being pressed into a cesspit and rubbed frantically, then pulled out again, but he couldn't go back.
He had already pledged allegiance to Tzeentch, and his father's actions also made him feel a burning rage.
Primarchs were generally lacking in education; they lacked parental love and schooling, and thus had various personality flaws.
Lorgar's genetic essence was etched with an extreme reverence for "higher beings."
Unlike other Primarchs, he was not conceived as a warrior or a ruler, but rather born as a "preacher of truth."
His homeworld, Colchis, was a land of religious strife. Lorgar grew up amidst battles of faith, eventually unifying the planet and establishing a cult centered on "one true god"—this foreshadowed his later deification of the Emperor.
He himself was a man of piety and idealism.
Lorgar firmly believed in the existence of ultimate truth in the universe and yearned to give meaning to humanity through faith.
However, his emotions were also very fragile; his craving for recognition far surpassed that of other Primarchs, and he was extremely dependent on spiritual support.
The Emperor's previous actions had undoubtedly deeply hurt Lorgar.
Yet, his personality still yearned for recognition, for his father's approval.
This remained true even after he had ascended to daemonhood under Tzeentch.
So, with so many strange emotions converging, Lorgar now felt like he was about to split apart. He looked at Zeke with a hint of jealousy.
Why? Why could he sit with his father?
Why were they both called the Emperor of Mankind? Was it simply because he had enough power for his father to acknowledge his status?
Zeke had unreservedly displayed his power during the galaxy-wide projection, so Lorgar didn't feel he could compare himself to Zeke, but the jealousy still lingered.
His emotions were very complex, but at this moment, no one had the leisure to pay attention to him, or rather, to his emotions.
The entire Imperium of Man was immersed in the shock of the appearance of the second Emperor of Mankind.
The Imperium of Man had two Emperors, what did that mean? Did it mean that humanity would launch another Great Crusade?
Such news was excellent for the devout citizens of the Imperium of Man, especially since they were also exempted from the tithe for a year.
However, to other civilizations and xenos civilizations across the galaxy, who were also watching the simultaneous broadcast, it was a different matter entirely.
So, originally there were five Chaos Gods in the galaxy, and now the fifth Chaos God could stand up. Yes. The fifth Chaos God could stand up, they saw it.
Just the fact that the fifth Chaos God could stand up was enough to make them despair.
What made them even more desperate was that another Chaos God had appeared on the human side. Should this fellow be called the sixth Chaos God?
So, what did this mean?
Did this mean that humanity was once again going to inflict sustainable, destructive blows upon their xenos civilizations, and implement extermination orders against them?
The citizens of the Imperium of Man began to cheer and revel, but all the alien and xenos civilizations looked as if their mothers had died, their faces terribly grim.
However, no matter how they reacted, humanity would simply ignore them.
Especially Zeke.
Zeke had no time to worry about what these xenos might be thinking.
This investiture of the Solar Lord was not just for the investiture of the Solar Lord.
More importantly, it was to declare his identity, to make the entire Imperium of Man understand who he was.
Now that the entire Imperium of Man knew his identity, it was time for the other most important matter of the day: the investiture of Karl Reiss as the Solar Lord Imperial Warmaster.
**Karl Reiss.**
The voices of the Emperor and Zeke sounded simultaneously.
It wasn't until the voices of the two Emperors rang out that the Lord General, who was to be invested as the Solar Lord today, pulled his consciousness back from the endless chaos and looked up at the two Emperors.
His eyes were not directed at the Emperor of the Imperium of Man; his eyes were fixed on Zeke.
Who understood his current feelings?
How did he used to speak to Zeke?
He used to consider himself Zeke's uncle, and now suddenly he was told that Zeke was actually the Omnissiah, the Stellaris Lord.
This feeling was like being in heaven one moment and on earth the next. His first feeling was not excitement at becoming the Emperor of Mankind's uncle, but rather unease and trepidation.
The Emperor and Zeke were equals, so if he called Zeke his nephew, did that mean the Emperor suddenly became his nephew?
The Emperor became his nephew?
What an utterly disrespectful thought! The moment this thought appeared in his mind, it startled him greatly.
He tried to shake this thought from his head, but after trying for a long time, he painfully realized that he couldn't shake it off at all.
Because no matter what he did, as long as he looked up, he could see Zeke sitting beside the Emperor.
He would recall his conversations with Zeke and those memories. With the weight of these memories, he simply couldn't calm down.
Tzeentch in the Warp naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to cause trouble for Zeke, so he acted.
So painful!
Karl Reiss felt like his head was about to explode.
However, when the Emperor and Zeke spoke together, they pulled him back from this chaotic feeling.
And a blessing from both Zeke and the Emperor descended upon him.
The influence caused by the Tzeentch daemon, which had been wrought by two Emperors acting simultaneously, was instantly dispelled without a trace.
And Zeke not only dispelled the machinations left by Tzeentch, but he also glared fiercely at Tzeentch in the Warp.
The meaning conveyed was already clear enough: "You scruffy old bird, once I've dealt with matters here, I'll go to the Warp and give you a beating!"
Tzeentch in the Warp naturally felt Zeke's gaze directed at him.
Upon realizing that Zeke and the Emperor had acted, he instantly vanished within his palace.
Can't afford to provoke them, can't afford to provoke them. The Warp is big enough; it's better to quickly find a place to hide.
Tzeentch had been beaten so much lately that Zeke merely looking at him made him already think of his miserable life.
