Chapter 808 [250.] Jealousy of Fire

[Lorgar Aurelion], the one who looks most like the Emperor among them——

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

The metaphor... After [Mortarion] saw [Lorgar] with long hair for the first time, he almost vomited out his last meal - that was the closest he had ever come to losing his expression.

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.

The mortal believers blew the horns and the military band began to play music, but [Guilliman] just strolled on the carpet of his huge ship without any surprise. To him, this might just be the BGM at the beginning of another game. .

He was still concentrating on many things with [Luojia] beside him who was recording his orders.

Due to [Robert Guilliman]'s bad taste, [Lorgar]'s clothing is not very flashy compared to his other brothers. With thorny blue and black linen, [Lorgar] looks quite simple, just like Like a poor priest living on the edge of the world.

At first glance, no one would associate this simple-dressed guy with a humble smile with the powerful man in the Ministry of Faith and Truth.

But he is indeed [Robert Guilliman]’s subordinate, the faith controller of this huge empire——

Countless churches of Chaos faith or Primarch faith were erected by the Word Bearers, overturning the Imperial truth originally established by the Lord of Mankind.

The subspace is huge based on human beliefs and emotions. For this empire that is deeply rooted in the subspace, beliefs that can be artificially controlled and artificially implanted are particularly important.

It is also the prayers and faith of the entire human empire for thousands of years that have molded the ambition and light in [Robert Guilliman]'s eyes.

Therefore, [Guilliman] attaches great importance to the faith of the Human Empire. Except for [Lorgar] and [Fernus], he does not allow other powers and original bodies of the empire to get involved.

The gentle tapping of helmets and boots stopped.

[Mortarion]'s eyelids trembled, and he lowered his head as much as possible, not looking at [Guilliman].

[Please rise, my brothers. ]

[Guilliman] smiled as he watched his brothers slowly stand up. [Lorgar] beside him bowed humbly, as if he had greeted the primarchs in front of [Guilliman].

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

The corruption of [Luojia] was aided by the ability of [Angron]. Perhaps in other words, the corruption of [Luojia] was forged by [Angron] himself, and [Angron] gained a lot of power during it. Great pleasure.

As of today, [Angron] still can't forget the past events of that year, and still hopes to repeat the past events of those years——

But [Guilliman] will not let [Angron] mess around with his tools anymore.

This is why [Angron] is so obsessed with [Dorne] who disappeared that year. He had the opportunity to pull down the soul of another loyal primarch and play a twist game, but [Dorne] disappeared.

[Mortarion] keenly noticed that [Lorgar] did not look at [Angron], but lowered his eyes and stared at [Guilliman]'s back.

Maybe the haze of that year is still in this body with distorted cognition and has never dissipated.

What happened back then... [Mortarion] recalled, remembering [Guilliman]'s actions at that time, and his appearance now... he couldn't help but sneer.

A guy with no bottom line...

【Another fate line】

【Ten thousand years ago】

[Lorgar Aurelion] is a primarch designed by the [Lord of Mankind] and has a similar position and position to No. 13 [Robert Guilliman].

The only difference is that [Lord of Humanity] believes that [Lorgar]'s combat power will be much lower than [Guilliman], but what he sacrifices in combat power is higher compassion and obedience.

In short, [Luojia] is more likely to perceive the hearts of others, and he and his heirs are more likely to surrender rather than rule.

The design of No. 13 [Guilliman] is more oriented toward domination.

In [Emperor's] design, [Lorgar] will become his most powerful assistant in promoting the truth of the empire. With the help of [Lorgar] and the Word Bearers, the truth of the empire will spread throughout every corner of the empire.

When the truth that there are no ghosts is spread, the source of power in the subspace will be cut off, thus achieving the purpose of curbing the expansion of the subspace.

At least...that's what the [Lord of Humanity] thought in the early stages.

Therefore, on Terra, the [Emperor] paid special attention to [Lorgar]'s ideological education, and he deeply implanted the concept of Imperial Truth into the heart of [Lorgar Aurelion].

The truth of the empire has therefore become the key word for [Luojia] in the early stage.

After the psychic storm that tore apart the Royal Palace of Terra occurred, [Loujia] was thrown by the psychic storm to Colchis, a planet full of chaotic beliefs.

When [Luojia] arrived on this planet, he realized that this was a test. For him, there was no planet more suitable than Colchis. He would personally destroy the Chaos Faith and let the empire The light of truth was implanted in the soul of every Colchian.

He will tell the Colchians that there is no god!

When the [Emperor] found [Lorgar], the [Lord of Mankind] was pleased to see a thriving planet. The Chaos faith rooted in it was completely eradicated. People worked hard and were delighted with the ships from the Empire. mad.

Colchis' belief in the truth of the Empire even spread to several surrounding planets. Due to similar beliefs and ideas, the Empire took over this sector almost effortlessly.

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

And [Luojia] did not live up to the [Emperor]'s trust. He took the initiative to further his studies and conducted a year-long study and research on the other end of the Empire's double-headed eagle - the Mechanicus.

In fact, [Luojia] knew the past of [Lord of Mankind] pretending to be [Ohm Messiah].

The Primarch rarely showed confusion in this regard. He did not understand why the [Emperor] allowed a fanatical religion to serve as the right-hand man of the Empire while promoting the truth of the Empire.

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

This is [Luojia]'s second thought change in her life.

[Emperor] showed him a certain kind of truth and helplessness. Perhaps compared to the Imperial Truth, [Luojia] originally surrendered to the [Emperor], and the sword [Emperor] picked up was the Imperial Truth. .

The essence of [Luojia] is obedience. It is easier for him to be loyal to a concrete person than to obey some 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 gods are just the side of someone.

Gods are the side of the Emperor, and are inferior to the Emperor - perfect humans are the rulers of the world.

Afterwards, the Word Bearers set off, and the [Emperor] was satisfied with their speed of conquest and transformation. The Word Bearers' legion expanded even faster than the Ultramarines at one time.

No one knows how [Lorgar] does it, even [Guilliman] who can surpass the absolute numerical value and operation——

At that time, the Primarchs had not realized that faith had power, real power, but here at [Lorgar], these beliefs were transformed into productivity.

[Guilliman] was annoyed by this.

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

The appearance of [Lorgar] obviously made [Guilliman] annoyed. Even though [Lorgar] had made it clear that he would not participate in these battles, he only hoped to follow the footsteps of the [Lord of Mankind] wholeheartedly and build a A huge empire.

Just like the mask of [Mortarion], [Guilliman] did not reveal the slightest dissatisfaction with [Lorgar]. This blue man once walked comfortably in Macragge's political arena and has long since Became a perfect politician.

On the contrary, in the name of studying, [Guilliman] and [Lorja] became very good "friends"——

Maybe it's just for [Luojia].

And [Guilliman] also learned about the connection between faith and subspace during the period of contact with [Lorgar]——

[Guilliman]'s eyes stared so deeply into the subspace for the first time.

This situation would have continued, but no one knew why. After Barbarus came back, the [Lord of Humanity]'s temperament changed drastically. He ignored some Primarchs and favored others.

[Guilliman] truly became the favorite in the eyes of the [Emperor], while [Lorgar] was treated coldly.

[Lorgar] was confused about this situation, so he talked to [Guilliman], and [Guilliman] suggested that [Lorgar] go to the Lord of Humanity himself.

So, [Luojia] visited Terra again.

He knelt in front of the office of the [Lord of Mankind] for thirteen days and thirteen nights, confiding for thirteen days and thirteen nights. Finally, the [Emperor] was moved by [Luojia]'s loyalty and decided to give him his youngest son. A chance.

After all, in the mouths of outsiders...

Among those Primarchs, only [Lorgar] satisfied the [Emperor] the most, and [Lorgar]'s nature of surrender and loyalty also gave him an alternative "safety" label.

In fact, before this, [Luojia] often discussed faith and imperial truth with [Emperor]——

Just like [Magnus] and [Emperor] talking about psychic powers.

In this conversation, [Emperor] revealed another concept.

"Becoming a God"

There is no doubt that [Loujia] expressed his rebuke of this concept. He believed that gods cannot compare with [Emperor] - perfect people are far greater than gods who are bound by concepts.

In this conversation, the [Lord of Humanity] did not reveal any of his worries - the word "Lord of Darkness" stayed in the depths of his mind and would not be mentioned to any original body.

But for some reason, since that day and that moment, after the word "Lord of Darkness" was shouted out by [Hades], the word became clearer and clearer.

The [Emperor] could clearly feel that he was becoming stronger - some violent force of unknown origin was filling him, and it was igniting more and more fiercely as the Great Crusade progressed.

But where does this power come from?

Could it be...himself who became the Queen 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. He is a human being, even if he sometimes needs to pretend to be a god.

The [Emperor] will never become the Lord of Darkness.

[The Lord of Humanity] realizes extremely clearly that if the King of Darkness is completely born, then humanity will have no future, and the price of becoming a god will be all humanity - this is a bottom line that he can never accept.

And [Luojia]'s words hit a certain worry in [Emperor]'s heart and coincided with [Emperor's] views.

Therefore, [Emperor] chose to believe in [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 the part of personal worship——

Guide mankind to firmly believe that man is the primate of all things and the manager of the universe.

At the same time, under [Luojia]'s earnest persuasion, [Emperor] gave up part of the expedition efficiency and instead focused more on 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, which is based on unbearable reality. Beliefs like castles in the air will eventually collapse.

And this revision of the Imperial Truth and the adjustment of the direction of the Great Crusade also made the [Emperor] feel the fading of that power——

He was convinced that there was no Chaos interference in this phenomenon, that it was simply because he had done the right thing, and that the power had indeed receded as the progress of the Great Crusade slowed down, or something else.

until--

[Robert Guilliman] decided to replace the [Emperor] and replace this hesitant and duplicitous emperor.

[Guilliman] felt sincerely puzzled and angry about the fact that the [Emperor] began to focus on the people's livelihood in the empire——

He regarded it as the greatest evidence of [Lorgar]'s evil words [Lord of Mankind], and [Guilliman], who contacted [Mortarion] and the Lord of Change, decided not to endure it anymore.

He first focused on [Luo Jia].

But [Lorgar]'s loyalty to [Lord of Mankind] is no empty talk. Everyone knows his fanaticism towards [Emperor]. Even if [Emperor] ordered him to burn Colchis immediately, [Lorgar] 】 will do it without hesitation and without any wavering.

The Primarch of the Word Bearers' pursuit and surrender to the Emperor has surpassed reason and logic, surpassed the words and imperial truths he wrote.

This is why [Guilliman] is so puzzled, he cannot understand the fanatics.

It is also impossible to understand that the [Lord of Humanity] would choose to abandon efficiency because of the other party's loyalty and surrender.

Even if he rebuked, [Guilliman] could not directly confront [Lorgar]. In the empire at that time, apart from the Ultramarines, the Word Bearers had the largest number of soldiers——

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

[Guilliman] knows that he cannot be an enemy of [Lorgar], but how can he make [Lorgar] corrupt? How can we make [Luojia] turn against the [Emperor]?

Just when [Guilliman] was troubled, [Mortarion], who had long been trapped in the path of chaos, knocked on the door of the Lord of Macragge late one night.

He brought a suggestion, and a suitable candidate.

【Angron】.

Among the many primarchs, [Angron] is the only one who can directly change the thoughts and emotions of the opponent——

But he never performed this outside the Legion until Herrera fell into Lady Psyche and witnessed Angron's near-mad hedonism.

A bold and evil idea took shape in [Guilliman]'s mind——

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