“The Emperor does not know why the Men of Iron Rebelled.” Malcador admitted as he gestured widely, “He was working on this project even during those times. He saw this as a chance to capitalize on Humanity’s evolution. What he does know, from his view into the warp, is that they claimed so many souls during that rebellion that they quickly became what we know them as today.”
“And with their power they severed humanity from one another.”
“That is what they did.” Announced Malcador as he gestured back to the throne, “It has only been these last few decades that we were able to reverse the tide and take back the galaxy from their influence. By creating this light into the galaxy we light our way into the next age.”
“I ask, Malcador.” TalOS said as he made sure the man heard each of his words, “Of your words, why are they not gods?”
“Because they are creatures with needs and desires.” The Sigillite finally said, “Indeed they are powerful but it is known from where they got their power. They were complacent once, tame and weak, but after the deaths of trillions they became so much more than that. Now they reach forward not out of some benevolence but to increase their own power. Such that they retake their old mantle as Gods and have people worship them, for they quickly found that worship gave them so much power.”
To those words Malcador began to run one thing after another, “They realized that Rituals and Sacrifices give them power. That if they give mortal men strength that man will give them many more sacrifices that more than makes up for ascending him. Now, they fight amongst themselves, trying to claim as many souls for themselves from their fellow entities.”
TalOS only needed a moment to realize the implications, “Then to claim them to be Evil Gods, even though I am against them, I give them power.”
“Such are the rules of the Warp TalOS. They seek power, even from their enemies.” Malcador finished his argument, “These beings are not Gods, they are tumors that become cancerous. We must rid ourselves of them and the best way to start is to stop giving them even our thoughts. Name them whatever you wish, TalOS, but they are not Gods.”
>Agree with Malcador
>They are still gods though, but we will fight them as if they are.
