The beginning of the Empire and the rejected offers

"Let there be light," I said.

The reality between Materium and Immaterium in the throne room began to stir and twist.

With a thought I opened the Warp portal and found myself in the Warp.

The throne was connected to me as my energy filled the throne and then it just erupted in the color of gold and white psychic energy that flowed through the Materium and Immaterium.

Time really doesn't exist in the Warp, I saw that it took an eternity and an attosecond at the same time for the light to reach the edge of the galaxy.

It's like Warp is a dark room and Astromicon is a candle.

The 80,000-light-year in Milky Way was bathed in golden light.

Only the fiercest Warp-phenomena could survive the blast he summoned. He watched the Galaxy as the power of the Astronomicon expanded and solidified. Countless Warp Storms were violently extinguished like fire in a high wind.

Warp Rifts have shrunk as space/time has healed.

He watched as countless Daemon worlds were burned to ashes and reforged according to the laws of physics. Countless galactic wounds were cleansed and sealed.

He saw countless daemonic legions reduced to the dust . Numerous daemons that were struck by the light in either the Warp or the Materium were either permanently destroyed or seriously wounded. Vast numbers of Daemon Princes were reduced to nothing but dust.

The light gathered and in some places such as the Eye of Terror or the vortex was slightly reduced in its scope, and in the places where the purification energy merged with the corruption of chaos, explosions occurred as countless armies of newly created angels suddenly appeared and began to fight against their enemies.

Time for the second part of my plan.

A tree has spawned in my Warp Domain.

I just approached the tree and metaphorically began to feed the tree with my blood.

The tree grew until I removed my own entrails with my own bare hand and hung myself from the tree.

The domain only expanded in size until it split into countless small-domains like cracked glass.

Countless landscapes were created inside, from heavenly to hellish, from natural to artificial, from beautiful to ugly and so on.

Everything continued until the domains were aligned into three broad categories of High, Medium and Low domains.

Like all Warp domains they had no concept of width and length and were infinite like the domains of the Chaos Gods.

After the final creation, countless inhabitants appeared in the domain itself, many of which are creatures of human myth and belief.

Quadrillion angels stood as one in formation and marched to the very tree where the body of the creator, that is me, was in a diamond capsule or rather a cradle.

And then the cradle just broke and I went outside, the tree itself quickly disappeared and crumbled into dust.

A quadrillion angels, a large number in the minds of mortals, but small when compared even to the total number of daemons of the newborn Chaos God. The angels knelt as one before their master.

All the newly created inhabitants also knelt.

In a place where speech does not exist, they simultaneously spoke and mentally conveyed their oath of loyalty to their creator.

+++AllFather, you who created us, we swear eternal and unconditional loyalty to you until the end of our existence.+++

This and countless smaller oaths were passed down and spoken throughout the domain.

Although it should be remembered that Warp entities do not talk, this is only the closest the human mind can perceive to not going crazy because what is really happening cannot be defined by any mortal language or sight.

Another knife pointed at the four.

I think and look at my latest creations and I know that with my ascension I have taken on a part of the emotions that humanity releases.

+++ Stand up my children, your oath is accepted. +++ My word passing through my entire domain.

I suddenly feel a strong pressure attacking my domain with all its might and failing.

The fish noticed that it was frying.

I just smile and teleport out of the domain to the point of attack.

In a feat that took me an attosecond and an eternity at the same time, I find myself on the spot and see huge amounts of poisonous psychic energy hitting the very light of the Astronomicon and my domain.

Malignant energy is easily cleared, but I feel extreme pressure that threatens to bring me to my knees.

"Are you done yet? I ask in a voice that shatters entire star systems.

The Imaterium shook as the Four pulled out of their attacks and focused their gaze on me.

Soon (if such words can be used in the Warp) the Four came very close to me and the Four Storms of poisonous and incalculable power surrounded me.

I feel that they are very close to me but at the same time very far from me.

Any mortal would have gone crazy from their presence a long time ago, and now I understand very well why. I see their true forms and I finally understand with horror why people go crazy.

Their alien intellect along with their overall spiritual power was immense and terrible at the same time.

The energy storms stopped and the Four finally took a solid form but their forms were constantly changing, human, Xeno, beast, abomination, they were constantly changing without any order.

The four spoke in undivided chaos, 4 trillion voices were one. "What do you want, Anathema/Abomination" The first word was spat out, more like an insult than a name or title.

"I want you to submit and become my servants and concubines," i said.

The Warp was quiet for an age/moment before the Laughter/Screams rang through it in a psychotic display of sense that drove billions of random mortals across the galaxy into utter madness. "Subdue? You're a bigger fool than we ever thought Anathema/Grozoto. You have done nothing, NOTHING! Besides delaying/accelerating the inevitable. "You may have protected your kingdom and polluted ours with your fire, but you will fall"

"I offer only an alternative to your complete destruction, you will be bound by seals that will ensure your complete loyalty to me, as I grow in strength, so will you, you will get a beatiful form like all the members of my harem", he answered in a voice as if to say simple fact.

Warp fell silent again before the laughter erupted again, louder and more horribly mocking than before.

"We offer you a counter offer" Each of the four voices said before the energy split into four entities.

Visions raged and he saw offers, if he would agree to be their champion and create physical bodies for them to walk through countless realities.

+++Khorne offered, society focused on fighting and honor, he saw hordes of warriors waging bloody wars and conquering everything. Planets, entire star systems, sectors, galaxies and at the end universes are being conquered in the name of the Bloody God. He saw mountains of skulls bigger than entire universes being offered to the bloody god, he saw countless duels being fought, about created honor and prestige.+++

"I refuse the offer, courage and cowardice are meaningless to me because at the end of the day only profit matters and nothing more," he replied.

New visions raged.

+++Nurgle offered to create a society without pain, without fear of disease and death, where the smallest parasites achieved symbiosis and equality with mortals. A society stuck in greater stagnation and a cycle of decay and rework.+++

"I refuse,worm, I'm not interested in becoming a bloated corpse and despair itself is meaningless as an emotion. The very idea that I'm interested in symbiosis with parasites proves how miserable a coward and weakling you are." he replied.

New visions raged.

+++Tzeentch showed him visions of technological progress, countless new branches of wizardry created, countless amounts of knowledge discovered, countless grandiose plans and schemes realized, a society in a constant sense of hope and constant change.+++

"I refuse, I can discover that knowledge on my own and not share it with anyone, hope is a senseless emotion like despair, I am not interested in making plots and plans for their own sake," he answered violently.

New visions raged.

+++Slaanesh, vision of me whick lead humanity on a path of perfection and pleasure, of countless unspeakable pleasures and excesses that could be felt, showing him visions of a civilization that surpassed the heights of depravity and progress of the Aeldar. And he was at the head of everything with countless subjects and member of harem who shout his name and flatter him.

"I reject, the ugly creature, flattery means nothing to me, and I am not interested in reaching perfection or feeling forbidden pleasures," he replied with contempt. What madman enjoys tearing his own skin and the use of human blood and entrails in painting pictures?

He felt pure contempt and hatred from these semi-sentient storms of energy.

And then came new visions, unlike the others they showed what he would get if he joined the foursome as the new god of chaos.

+++He was shown countless armies of angels fighting demons. Countless empires are shown worshiping him as their supreme god, building giant cathedrals and monuments in his name. He saw entire planets and even universes united by humanity in his name bowing. The realm of order freed from the threat of xenos, heretics and mutants. Eternal game with five gods how to play, countless pleasure to feel from playing the game.

"That's what you really want, We all know you want it, to be like us. Omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. To control everything as you see fit, to dominate everything, you want to bring "Order" into everything. Each of voices he hummed.

He felt a strong desire to agree, but at the last moment he suppressed the thought.

"I refuse your offer, I am not God, I am something more than you," he replied angrily.

"You claim to be omnipotent, let any of you create a universe from nothing, create a life that is not tainted by chaos, do something beyond the emotions and actions that any of you feed on, you cannot because you are just a tumor created by the madness of the inhabitants of Matter". .. "You claim to be omnipresent, come cast your influence on the void between galaxies, on newborn universes. Prove your omniscience, tell what is really in the Well of Eternity, who I really am and how I was born?"

"I know the truth, you need me more than I need you, you fear a being that can create and destroy countless omniverses and timelines with a single thought, you want a physical body so you can expand into countless realities beyond your reach." I finished i tirade.

Mocking and angry at the same time, They replied "Your origin is irrelevant and there is no need for us to prove our power to you, there were countless Anathems before you in countless universes, you and this universe will disappear like countless universes before this."

"You will be enslaved and forced to serve me for all eternity, weaklings and cowards the lowest". i replied with a smile and a sneer.

The four of them didn't flinch at me threat, only retreating back to their respective areas even though he could feel the pure hatred radiating from them.

He just teleported back to the imperial palace where he saw his subjects on their knees and looking forward to his return with fanaticism in their eyes.
