As they watched it Orikan raised his hand and moved it. With a simple motion of his will Orikan moved forward the reality TalOS and himself were seeing. What they were seeing was not a divination, but the state of the world at the time when Chaos Reigned.
Entire reaches of space were covered in the maelstrom of chaos. Entire fleets were being lost as they were sent colliding into planets or deposited into hostile fields of matter. The cries of trillions could be heard as several knives made of the Warp sank themselves towards Terra.
This was it. This was the endgame of the Imperium. TalOS could <span class="mu-i">feel</span> the laws of reality being changed as there were no longer any Gods capable enough to fight against it. Now the Universe was a realm where the Gods of the Warp, let them be the Emperor of Mankind or those of Chaos, fought against one another in contest for whose authority shall be set over the Universe.
“They are letting us see this.” TalOS spoke as he looked upon a Galaxy in ruin, “We should not be able to see this because of their obfuscation. For this moment they are giving us a view of terror to dishearten our actions.”
“You are correct.” Orikan informed TalOS as he placed a finger upon the small stretch of ground where the Machine God blessed reality with order, “A play for the fate of the Universe that only they will be victors within. That is what they wish for us both to believe but we see that the work of the Necrons and C’Tan still hold firm. It is Mankind who must hold firm now.”
“Reality after this point has not been set.” TalOS said as he used the same technique to try and pass them into the future, “I cannot see myself nor any of my brothers either. Everyone’s faces are obscured by the Warp. The gods are laughing, for I can see what are my brothers upon those very scars rushing themselves towards Terra.”
“A Civil War it seems then.” Orikan said as he shook his head, “But such words do not do it justice. For a Civil War does not threaten the Universe itself.”
“It is Heresy,” TalOS declared, “Heresy against the Laws of Reality.”
