Interlude IV

(MC POV) (Kitchen in the Imperial Palace)

There is a cheerful atmosphere in the spacious kitchen as I prepare lunch for twenty of my children. The work tables are covered with ingredients, pans and baking trays, and the smells of food spread through the room.

The dough is rolled out into large, thin circles, giving me plenty of room to work.

I take boxes of tomatoes, then peppers, mushrooms and sausage and put them near the dough.

I take a large bowl of sauce and approach the pizzas. It's tomato sauce. It is really important to find the right ratio of tomatoes and spices to make the pizza juicy and aromatic.

I take the sauce and spread it evenly over the dough. I put a layer of sauce on each pizza. A little love and quick hands, that's the key ingredient for a delicious meal, that's what people say.

I take a knife and cut the vegetables and add the sliced vegetables to the dough. Peppers, mushrooms and sausages - a great combination. Distributed evenly on the surface and thus I ensure that each pizza contains a lot of different flavors.

After some thought, I decide to add cheese to the dough.

I sprinkle cheese on the dough. I add generous amounts of cheese to each pizza.

The pizzas are finished and ready to be baked. I take it and it takes a few minutes until I put all the pizzas in the oven.

[30 minutes later]

I take all the baked pizzas out of the oven. Over a hundred pizzas, each of them medium-sized.

A nice smell begins to spread throughout the kitchen. I didn't know cooking was so much fun. I didn't use my powers at all, I just used my hands and my knowledge.

Lunch is ready.

With one thought, I lift each pizza into the air and soon the kitchen is full of levitating pizzas that follow me.

I walk through the door into the dining room and see each of my sons eagerly awaiting me.

And Malcador was with us, his chair was on my right.

I see some of my wilder sons licking themselves in anticipation of a delicious meal.

I telekinetically drop hundreds of pizzas on a large table and soon the entire table is filled with the aroma of tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, herbs and the finest flavors of meat.

I sit down at the table and take a piece of pizza and immediately feel the warm, soft crust melt in my mouth. I grab another piece, this time with a rich mixture of sausages, ham and hot peppers. The first bite reveals a rich combination of flavors - sweet and sour tomato sauce enhances the taste of cheese and brings a lively note of fresh pepper.

With each bite, the flavors blend and play on my palate. The combination of perfectly baked crust, juicy tomatoes and melted cheese leaves me breathless. Each piece has its own special combination of ingredients - mushrooms, black olives, sweet onions - that complement each other perfectly.

While eating, I enjoy every moment. Everyone around me is busy with their pizzas, laughter and teasing fill the entire table. I feel happy and satisfied as the delicious pizza turns into an unforgettable experience. Each bite is a small explosion of flavor and a moment of pure joy.

My sense of taste is much stronger than a human's or even a Primarch's, and now I feel the full benefits of it.

My pizza is pure art, a combination of flavors and aromas that leaves untangled threads of happiness in my heart. I finish the meal with the last bite, happy and fulfilled, ready for new adventures in the culinary world. It's magic, it's food that warms you from the inside and brings a feeling of happiness.

I take a quick look at the Gamer stats and see that I've made a lot of progress.

A combination of all your knowledge and skills when it comes to cooking.]

When I first tried to test my skills such as hunting, riding, fishing, cooking, gardening, etc., I realized that although I am perfect in every aspect, there is still no change in the Gamer Statistics, and I quickly realized that the statistics in activities must be improved manually without massive use of my powers.

My cooking has gone down considerably since the day I started and my food caused my sons includes Mortarion to pass out from the bad taste when they tried it my cooking.

I finish a few more pizzas and the whole time I was talking to Malcador and the Primarchs because my coronation is in less than two hours.

Everything has to go in perfect order.

(MC POV)(Imperial Palace, Golden Throne)

The Great Hall of the Imperial Palace is filled with light, processions and colorless rows of people. The area around the throne room is beautifully decorated, and the golden throne is waiting for its ruler. The excitement is immense as people gather to witness the historic moment - the official coronation of the God-Emperor of Mankind.

With the sound of festive music, the doors slowly open and the bells are heard, signaling the arrival of the Lord of Humanity. He is followed by members of his Custody guard on the right and Sister Tisina on the left. The most loyal supporters such as Primarchs, Malcador, Uriah and others were behind the Emperor.

As I approach the throne, rustling and excitement spreads through the hall.

From the safe proximity of the throne, I look down at my subjects and see euphoria on every face.

"Dear people, with humility and honor I come here before you in honor of my coronation. I promise that with honesty, love and determination I will lead our Empire towards progress and prosperity for all of us. We are all one, and together we will build a world full of love, conquest and justice. Thank you for your presence," I reply to the crowd in front of me.

I reach for the very well decorated crown and place it on my head.

Fuck the Divine right of kings. I crown my self and no one controls me and my actions.

A glow of golden light emanates from the crown, illuminating the hall and revealing the beauty of this solemn act. Thunderous applause fills the room as I sit on the throne facing my subjects.

The hall began to echo with shouts of approval and the sounds of gifts, as my subjects expressed their happiness and hope for the future under my leadership. Across Terra and Mars, the coronation is broadcast via Vox, causing massive cheers and approval from the imperial citizens.

I hear a voice in my head and see a notification.
