There was a great murmur within the room at the declaration of Tyberos. The Primarch who sat upon the throne looked upon his Father with a smile which said that there was no one else within the Universe that could face him. Such pride was different from Fulgrims for this one was born of rulership instead of self performance.
The Emperor stood above his son, for even upon his greatly heightened throne the Emperor was currently larger than his son who sat upon an elevated throne. The Emperor did not move, for even shaking his head would have taken his eyes off of his son.
The response was simple, “No, I will not.”
At such words the Primarch seemed to change humors. His eyes, which was somewhat calm, became much more beastial as he raised a hand, “Then do you come here to usurp me?”
“I am here for what you were made for.” The Emperor said as he raised a hand towards the High King, “Do what you wish, you cannot deny me.”
Upon those words the Primarch seemed to grow a wicked smile as he struck a hand towards his Father, “Soldiers, apprehend the usurper.”
No one in the room made a movement or an action according to what the High King wanted. Those soldier who were likely loyal servants did not dare move against a being that might as well be a god to their existence. To that action neither Horus nor TalOS did anything for they knew the circumstances. The Emperor knew what he was doing and did not need their assistance.
To TalOS what was happening was obvious. To that, he had decided to record the event for the sake of his own entertainment. He had always wondered just what happened whenever his brothers met their Father, and what TalOS was seeing now was something to that affect.
There was another unspoken observer, Calibre, who seemed to be enjoying the scenario play out before him. The more and more TalOS was around the AI he gained a sense of the AI’s emotional effects that were within the Motive Force. While they did not have what one would call a soul the AI had an emotional effect upon the area around them in the form of the Motive Force.
It was an interesting aspect of the Motive Force. But to TalOS he wondered if it could be manipulated in some way. After all, as an AI does not have a soul there is no real foundation to them. Only what Calibre described as one’s Primal Pattern, which in itself was no substitute for a soul.
