"It's so unfair that you're responsible for almost all new projects now."
Rebecca said indignantly, "I can barely remember the last time you slept. If this continues, it might harm your body…"
Clearly.
Rebecca was concerned about Samuel Sterns, protesting Karl's almost perverse extreme exploitation of his labor.
But before she could finish speaking, Samuel Sterns on the other side excitedly interrupted, "Oh, that… Don't you think this means the Master… no, the Boss values me greatly, which is why he trusts me with so many heavy responsibilities?"
"I feel like my brain is filled with inexhaustible wisdom and drive right now. How great would it be if each day had 24 more hours… No, 48 hours would be enough… Hmm, I feel like 96 hours would truly unleash my passion for work!"
"Oh, I must start working immediately, otherwise this inexhaustible knowledge will overflow from my mind… Yes, I must start quickly."
At this point, Samuel Sterns directly entered "self-forgetting mode" and quickly walked to his workbench to get busy.
"I… you…"
Rebecca was dumbfounded at the sight, thinking that it seemed she had truly misunderstood those ruthless capitalists all these years.
Some people are born to be exploited… No, it should be said they are born a "sacred ox-horse body."
Just like Dr. Stern, who was engrossed in his work at this moment.
"Ah, damn it, I was just spacing out and I think I forgot to record the crucial experimental data. Looks like I have to start all over again, how annoying…"
Rebecca then began a new round of busy work.
While defending others, she seemed to forget that she herself had been busy in the laboratory for a whole week without going home!
… … … …
… …
The next morning.
Karl, who was still sound asleep, was awakened by an urgent phone call.
The call connected, and the voice of the blonde secretary came through, "Boss, Miss Selena and Mr. Cassel are back."
This was a task Karl had specifically given her yesterday: to notify him immediately when Selena and the other person returned to the group.
"Got it. Let them wait for me in the office first."
Karl then hung up the phone, stretched luxuriously, and got up to wash.
A few minutes later.
"Tell me, what exactly happened that night?"
Karl sat in his boss chair, a relaxed smile on his face, observing Selena and Frank, whose expressions were slightly complex, across from him.
The two exchanged glances, and then Selena spoke first, "Let's start with me then…"
This conversation lasted for nearly an hour and a half.
During this time, Selena and Frank meticulously recounted everything that happened that day, as well as the abnormal power that suddenly erupted within them at the moment of crisis.
Karl also used his Mind Power to retrieve corresponding memory fragments, experiencing a 3D holographic immersive experience…
Finally.
The two of them, while trying hard to suppress the gradually burning fanaticism in their eyes, tentatively asked, "Um… Boss, are you really a Dimensional God?!"
Although they already had the answer in their hearts, they still couldn't help but want to hear Karl say it himself one more time.
After all, their state of mind was different now.
However.
At this moment, Karl had no time to pay attention to the two of them.
Upon hearing that Frank had died and resurrected, powerfully bursting forth to slay the Blood God, he already realized that something seemed to have gone wrong with his Warp…
And it was a big problem!!
Judging solely by their descriptions and the performance in the memory fragments.
At least Slaanesh and Khorne among the "Four Lackeys," as well as that golden big guy who shouldn't have appeared in the Warp, all contributed their power in this battle.
However, if Slaanesh and Khorne have been born, then Nurgle and Tzeentch must have appeared as well!
What puzzled Karl, however, was that he had clearly confirmed that there was nothing in the Warp before?
And the system had also initialized the Warp.
No matter how powerful the Four Lackeys of the warhammer 40k period were, they shouldn't be able to independently escape the scope of the Warp, right?
So, the question is…
How did they evade the system initialization?
Or, did they only come into being in the last two months, born from the accumulation of extreme human emotions?
This is clearly impossible!
Karl immediately rejected the second possibility.
Because even if he was a casual fan, he knew that among the Four Lackeys, except for Slaanesh, the "latecomer," the other three were all born after the Heavenly War.
And this Heavenly War, which blended the factions of the "Old Ones" and the "C'tan," "Necrontyr (Space Necrons)," and was an Apocalypse-level conflict, lasted for "five million years."
Afterward, it took nearly sixty-five million years of accumulation for Khorne, Nurgle, and Tzeentch to successfully emerge in the Warp.
So, two months would likely be far from enough to "incubate" them.
(This section adopts the description of the Heavenly War from the 3rd edition rulebook, where its impact led to a drastic deterioration of the Warp's environment, thereby providing a birthbed for the later emergence of Khorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle.)
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
Wait a minute…
Karl suddenly thought of a possibility that sounded slightly absurd.
Could the birth of these guys be influenced by that thought I had before leaving?
Karl thought back carefully and found that it was indeed highly possible.
First, he was a Dimension Master, so that strong thought of "needing the Four Lackeys plus the Emperor's help" likely stirred unimaginable ripples in the Warp.
Thereby accelerating their birth?
However, this also indirectly confirmed Karl's previous speculation…
That this currently initialized Warp is completely different from the evil and powerful Warp of the warhammer 40k period.
Perhaps without the influence of the Heavenly War, the Four Lackeys were not inherently evil upon birth?
This can be seen from the Emperor and Khorne jointly empowering Frank.
Under normal circumstances, even if the Four Lackeys wanted to put on a show to deceive Karl, the Emperor would never stoop to colluding with the four Evil God.
Otherwise, it would be utterly preposterous.
Yes, this possibility is very high… No, it should be said extremely high!
It's just…
Golden big guy, I didn't expect a seemingly upright fellow like you to also appear in the Warp?
(～￣▽￣)～
Has the World of warhammer 40k been destroyed?
Or has your physical body on the Golden Throne rotted away, and you can no longer be contained?
Thinking of this.
Karl's previously fluctuating emotions finally calmed down again.
Actually, even if the Four Lackeys were as evil and powerful as in the 40k period, he wouldn't have to fear at all.
Because in the Warp, he is the absolute master, possessing not only an immortal and indestructible body but also the Authority of Destruction that can erase everything.
So, if he truly detects anything amiss with the Four Lackeys, Karl can erase them completely at any time.
It's just that there's one thing he still can't figure out?
That is, in just over two months, the Four Lackeys accumulated enough power to influence reality. Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
Could it be because of the mind stone?
At present, only this explanation seems to have a bit of rationality.
However, the specifics of what happened, and all the various questions, all await Karl to personally enter the Warp to find the answers.
"It seems it's time to enter the Warp for a second time to check the situation."
Having made up his mind, Karl instructed Selena and Frank to guard outside the office, not allowing anyone to disturb him without his command.
After the two exited, he directly called out to the system in his mind, "System, enter the Warp as a Visitor…"
Boom…!!!
In an instant.
Karl's consciousness traversed countless light-years, breaking through the barrier between reality and illusion, and entered the basketball-sized Hyperspace Dimension.
"Oh, this?"
Karl was immediately stunned by the bizarre sight before him.
Because as soon as he entered, he saw Chang Wei beating Lai Fu… No, it should be said that a human big guy in golden armor was violently pummeling another guy with a dog head and human body, wearing heavy red armor.
Needless to say, this was definitely Emperor beating Khorne.
The scene of those powerful punches gave one a sense of comedic joy, like a Golden Saint beating a Bronze Saint…
Besides the two of them.
Not far away stood a curvy, exceptionally beautiful purple figure, and a green Fat Man covered in verdant green, looking much like a "Max version Shrek the Ogre"???
And in mid-air floated a strange cloud entwined with lightning, constantly changing shape and color.
However.
Aside from the dog-headed warrior who remained defiant no matter how much he was beaten, the other three figures showed no intention of attacking the Emperor.
Instead, they were watching the show with relish, like spectators eating melon seeds.
Very good!
Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle, Tzeentch…
The "Chaos Gods" were indeed all gathered in the Warp!
And that golden big guy.
Who would have thought that the dignified Lord of Man would actually become the "Fifth Evil God" in the Warp?
It looks like he got tired of sitting on the toilet and finally decided to collectively ascend with the unpromising humans…
Karl suddenly recalled a less mainstream theory about the Horus Heresy event that he had read on a certain forum in his "previous life."
That is, the reason why the Chaos Gods went to such great lengths to tempt and corrupt the Warmaster Horus.
It wasn't just because he was the "most powerful" Primarch, the Emperor's most beloved son, the most revered brother by the other Primarchs, and regarded by the Imperium of Man as the Emperor's sole successor…
Their deeper, true purpose was actually to use Horus's hand to forcibly "ascend" the Emperor.
To make him the fifth Evil God in the Warp!!
Thereby completely removing this most powerful being who had protected humanity in the real Universe for tens of thousands of years.
Because once the Emperor's protection was lost.
Then the Imperium of Man in the real Universe, with its colossal population base of tens of trillions, would instantly collapse.
All Planets and life would fall into an inescapable purgatory.
As for why the Chaos Gods would go to such great lengths to scheme, instead of directly confronting the Emperor.
That was entirely because their special attribute as Concept Gods prevented them from directly entering the real Universe.
So, they could only influence the real World from the Warp, using their vast and boundless power.
Commonly known as — "Screen-peeking monsters"!!
For this reason, no matter how much power the four of them bestowed upon their loyal followers in the real Universe, no one was a match for the Emperor.
However, fortunately this time, Horus, with "Four Gods' joint sponsorship," lived up to expectations.
In the father-son duel with the Emperor, relying on the continuous energy infusion from the Chaos Gods, he ultimately succeeded in severely wounding the Emperor at the cost of his own complete destruction of body and soul…
He truly was a filial son!
However.
Just as the Chaos Gods triumphantly believed their wicked scheme would finally succeed.
The Emperor used the Stasis Field on the Golden Throne to perpetually halt himself at the very moment of his impending death.
And with his unparalleled psychic power, he continued to protect all of humanity within the galaxy!!
Then, as time passed, and with the continuous "faith" bestowed by trillions of Imperial human subjects for over ten millennia.
The Emperor on the "Golden Throne" had truly become a very special existence.
Although his body still existed in the real Universe.
His fragmented consciousness and soul projection, however, formed a pale and cold Sun in the Warp.
Even the Chaos Gods could not directly gaze upon the shining light he emitted…
While Karl observed the "Five Little Ones," the battle between the Emperor and Khorne below continued.
Bang bang bang…!!!
The Emperor's Claw, imbued with immense psychic power, rained down like a furious storm, pushing Khorne back.
However, the vast majority of these attacks were blocked by the heavy red armor on Khorne's body, which was covered in mysterious runes and distorted faces, leaving not a single mark on it.
"Hey, I say, did you not eat? Your fists are so light, like a woman's. I don't feel even a tiny bit of pain when you hit me. Can't you use more force?"
"Come on, if you have the guts, kill me?!"
Even though Khorne was currently at a disadvantage, being passively beaten.
But on his ferocious dog-like face, there was not the slightest hint of fear; instead, he began to loudly clamor with extreme excitement.
"…"
The Emperor, maintaining a poker face, remained silent, but his right arm suddenly erupted with scorching psychic Fire.
He brought it down heavily towards Khorne's dog head.
Seeing this, Khorne quickly swung his blood-red heavy sword to meet the blow.
