Warhammer, about my years with the Wolfpack

The Emperor, on the other hand, had been slow to come up with a system, and hadn't established one. So the Order was a mess, and although Keele's Order was the strongest and most influential, and had Guilliman's support, she was chosen as the co-leader. But to say she had the final say was impossible.

"Our father is really something. He seemed to be playing cards yesterday." Guilliman complained.

"Playing cards? Really? Doesn't that count as slacking off? I need to talk to my father about this." Dorn frowned and then looked at Guilliman.

"Magnus said so. He also said that Ahriman was playing bridge with them." Guilliman looked at the Red Giant.

"I..." Magnus suddenly felt like a jester. But what could he do? The newly formed Psionic Court had finished its meeting, and the Emperor had drawn a deck of cards. Could Magnus refuse to play?

"Ahriman, Ahriman is also playing." Magnus decided to shift the firepower immediately.

"Where's Ahriman? Where's Ahriman?"

"I don't know. He just said he was out on business. I don't know now."

"Call him out, this guy is really going too far." A group of Primarchs were discussing, and Ahriman, who had just beaten Trazim, was about to come back when he heard the discussion coming from the house. After hesitating for a moment, he decisively ran away.

"It looks like a fight is about to break out outside?" Corax suddenly pointed in the direction of the square and said.

"There's no fighting. Those guys don't know their own weight?" Rus snorted coldly.

--------

By this time, the tension between the two sides in the square was truly intense. After all, neither wanted to give way, and this matter couldn't drag on. There had to be a final outcome. In fact, when Archsage Castin suggested that everyone could enter together, Qile had initially wanted to agree, but the Archbishop of the Ecclesiarchy in a certain sector flatly refused, believing it would undermine the Emperor's dignity... His idea garnered widespread support, even from many of Qile's own men.

With a click, accompanied by the knocking of mechanical limbs on the square floor, the great sage Castin moved his huge body like a lobster. He walked out of the formation and came to the opposite side of the state religion. He spoke.

"Bishop of the Gregos Star Region, did you just reject my proposal?" The great sage looked at a high-ranking official of the state religion who was dressed in luxurious clothes and standing next to Qile.

"This is blasphemy! You eavesdropped on my communications?" Gregory was stunned at first, then said angrily.

"Eavesdropping? Do you have proof? Your arrogance and presumption were evident to everyone. It's perfectly natural for me to make this judgment, yet you accuse me of eavesdropping? Do you think we're easy to bully?" Castin snorted coldly. He then pulled out a data pad. "I will report this matter to the Imperial Chamber, regarding the false accusations made by the Ecclesiarchy."

If the occasion wasn't wrong, Castin wouldn't mind using physics to reason with the other party.

"Emperor's Handmaids?!" A commotion erupted within the Ecclesiarchy at Castin's words. After all, the reputation of the Emperor's Handmaids spread throughout the Imperium. Rumor had it that each of them was blessed by the Emperor and the Traveler, their strength and skill surpassing those of ordinary Custodians, some even rivaling their Primarchs. Furthermore, they represented the will of the Emperor and the Traveler, their sanctity untouchable.

Others might be wary of the State Religion, but not the Emperor's attendants. After all, besides the Primarch, who could be closer to the Emperor than the Emperor's attendants? So, of all the people in this square, has anyone ever played cards with the Emperor?

"Does your Excellency know the Emperor's Chamberlain?" Qile asked in surprise. Qile had met the Emperor's Chamberlain before, but they hadn't been close friends. To be more precise, the only time they'd met was when Macragge's Grand Steward Ramon had interrogated Qile.

"Yes, we have fought side by side before. During the darkest hour of the Great Rebellion, I fought side by side with Lord Ohmzod. My fleet was incorporated into his command, and I delivered a large amount of materials and supplies to several legions." Castin said righteously.

"And the sacrifices and contributions of Huangquan No. 8 Forge World also won the friendship of Lord Ohmzod. I was granted permission to contact him. It's just that I have never used it. After all, such trivial matters are not worth wasting this lord's time." Castin's words echoed in the square, and for a moment, the people in the state religion camp fell silent.

Was Castin telling the truth? How could this be explained? While Castin was roaming the galaxy with his fleet, he had indeed collaborated with Ohmzod's fleet and obtained Ohmzod's contact information. However, the authenticity of this information was somewhat lacking, as Ohmzod had given it to him partly out of respect for Trazyn. But outsiders were unaware of this. So, this was a very strong cover. After all, if Ohmzod really came, Gregors feared that it would be a mess, not to mention who would get there first and how.

"The Imperium was founded by the Emperor. He launched the Great Crusade, reuniting the shattered human civilization and defeating numerous terrifying entities, including the Randan xenos and evil gods. He made human territory wherever the Astronomican's light reached," said another sector archbishop, Darron. "As the Emperor's emissaries, shepherds tending his flock, we deserve respect."

Chapter 470 The Beginning of a New Era 4 (6K)

"As for the minor slip of the tongue, I believe the merciful Emperor should forgive Lord Gregos." Before Darlon finished his words, the great sage Castin had already put down the data panel in the distance.

"My request has been sent, and the Imperial Chamber has responded. A heavyweight will be dispatched to deal with Gregos's situation. Today, between him and me, only one of us will be able to escape unscathed." Castin's icy voice echoed throughout the square. He then pointed the scepter at Darron.

"You represent the Emperor? On what terms do you represent the Emperor? Have you ever seen the Emperor? Do you have the Emperor's approval? How was this so-called Archbishop of the Sector elected? Is the Emperor aware of your existence?"

"A bunch of pseudo-believers who raise the Emperor's banner! In the name of faith in the Emperor, you accumulate wealth, usurp power, oppress others, and treat the glorious citizens of the Empire as your slaves. Look at your extremely vulgar attire, and then look at your fat stomachs and brains, and your inaction all day long! Your appearance here is simply a blasphemy to the newborn Empire! Don't think I don't know how some of you guys started out. I originally planned to deal with these things afterwards, but now, I feel that this occasion is also very good!" Castin said angrily.

"As for what someone said just now, I need to correct two points. First, Lord Randan died at the hands of the Great Traveler, and second, the Astronomican used the Great Traveler's technology and abilities. So, although I still respect the Emperor, it's better to make some things clear," Kasdin added.

While Castin was firing on all cylinders, Qile remained surprisingly quiet. As the theoretical leader of the State Religion, Qile didn't express any opinions, remaining silent, his mind seemingly wandering. And indeed, this was indeed the case, for at this moment, Qile's mind had entered a special dimension. The Emperor had finally decided to address the State Religion.

"The great Lord of Humanity, the great Supreme, the first true God of mankind." Qile leaned over in front of a big golden guy and the blue ocean.

"Uh. Let me correct one thing. I am not the first true God of mankind. The one next to me is." The emperor coughed and said with a little embarrassment.

"?!" Qile was immediately bewildered. After all, there were some things she didn't understand. First, the Emperor wasn't human. Second, in a sense, he wasn't even a complete Warp God anymore. After all, his true form still roamed the stars. Unlike the Traveler, he had already "entered the Void." Of course, his power was already immense.

"Your first bishop's professionalism wasn't very good. She didn't understand God at all," the traveler said with some sarcasm. The traveler didn't have any opinion about Qile herself.

Honestly, judging purely by her original intentions and actions, Qile has certainly been a true believer. Originally a recorder for the Legion, after establishing the state religion, she led the charge, shedding blood and fighting for the Empire. She has aided civilians and punished criminals. She lives a simple life and is considered a noble person, with a pure faith. She is far superior to those who pursue fame and fortune. If there is a problem, it's probably her limited abilities. Partly because she can't control certain individuals within the sect, and partly because her own abilities are simply not up to par.

As the Traveler understands it, as the Archbishop of the Ecclesiarchy, you should be able to command half a legion and manage a sub-sector. You should be able to fight Alpharius with a power sword, or even crush a Titan with a forging hammer. Well, after all, the reality of this galaxy is that nothing counts without a strong fist.

The standards for the Traveler may indeed be a bit harsh, so up to now, although the Traveler has recognized many shrine worlds, there is really no archbishop within the Traveler sect who can take charge of the overall situation.

"How about you help educate him?" The Emperor looked at the man before him, feeling a bit awkward. On the one hand, he could sense his devout faith. But on the other, he couldn't do anything about it! The Emperor was an extreme pragmatist. Sometimes, he didn't care much about loyalty. He judged actions over intentions. As long as you could get things done, and do them well, the Emperor would tolerate it very much. And he himself was truly disgusted with religion.

"She is the bishop you chose. What's the point of her following me? Let her follow the Seal Holder. In short, her strength and level must be improved, otherwise it will be embarrassing to take her out." The traveler thought for a while and said.

"Well, sure. We're all working overtime, so why should he get a break?" the Emperor said angrily. Damn it, he just played some cards yesterday, and Dorn actually wanted to talk to him. Ehmmmm.

"Qile, I am not satisfied with the current state religion." The emperor spoke, and his words made Qile below tremble.

"Can you tell me your purpose in establishing the State Religion?" asked the Emperor.

"I established the state religion out of admiration and respect. You revitalized human civilization, eliminated the hostile aliens, and brought humanity together again. The entire civilization was like being reborn from the ashes. I just want more people to enjoy the glory of the empire and to continue and carry forward your cause." Qi Le said with longing.

"The development and glory of human civilization, and a brighter future. Let everyone enjoy the development of civilization, and make human civilization full of rationality and hope. This is my goal." The emperor touched his chin and said.

"Then Qile, tell me now, do you think those two dirty guys who were full of rotten smell should appear here?" the emperor asked.

The Emperor favored those who got things done, even when it came to distributing power. Take the famous Council of Nikaea, for example. Those present were essentially all hands on deck: Primarchs, the Imperial Navy, the Imperial Mortal Auxiliary Corps, the heads of the Astronomican Office, and the Sigillites. Just one look at these speakers made it clear that ordinary bureaucrats held no regard for the Emperor. And in His eyes, the Ecclesiarchy Keele had created was too much of a theoretical enterprise.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of my incompetence. If possible, I am willing to pray for you as an ordinary nun." Qile said while lying on the ground.

"I don't need your prayers. Compared to the prayers and praises of believers, I hope you can practice my will. I want to make human society full of rationality, fraternity, and wisdom. I hope you can help the weak and punish criminals. Can you do it? Those who join the state religion for their own selfish interests are a cancer and they should be eliminated. But now, some people in the state religion are in cahoots with them!" said the emperor angrily.

"So, Qile, prove your ability. From now on, clean up the state religion and remove those termites from it. If your behavior satisfies me, I will recognize the state religion."

"As for my relationship with the Traveler, I can clearly tell you that we are equal partners, serving human civilization together. That's it! Anyone who stirs up conflict again will be severely punished!" The Emperor finished speaking, and a golden booklet appeared in Qile's hands. This was the "State Religion Code of Conduct Version 1.0," which the Emperor had just completed. Now, the State Religion finally had a doctrine recognized by the Emperor and its first holy relic! It wasn't easy, but this was the first step!

"Thank you for your reward." Qile said.

To be honest, the Emperor did not expect these fanatical religious people to play any role in the future blueprint of the empire. After all, this plane is not the plane where the Emperor sits on the Golden Throne in the background. The Emperor and the Traveler are still alive and well, and there is no need for the state religion to unite people through propaganda and brainwashing.

According to the Emperor, until the State Religion could fully prove itself, it was good enough to avoid doing harm. Based on this principle, the first edition of the State Religion's Code of Conduct, compiled by the two gods, emphasized the need for integrity among its members! All extravagance and waste were forbidden, and images of the Emperor were not to be inlaid with gold or silver, emphasizing a return to simplicity. The Traveler even added a special statement to the doctrine: using money and supplies to help civilians is a better way to gain closeness to the Emperor than building shrines.

Various disciplinary and penalty mechanisms have also been set up. After all, the empire is so large that there are bad apples everywhere. The relevant supervision mechanism not only comes from within the church, but also states that some imperial power departments have the right to supervise and investigate the state religion. Of course, the state religion also has the right to supervise and report certain institutions. The two sides can be said to be supervising each other.

As for what if a region reaches a tacit understanding? Isn't that simple? If a situation of official mutual protection arises somewhere, the Emperor's retainers, the Inquisition, the Legion, and the like can resolve the issue. For the sake of humanity's revival, neither the Emperor nor the Traveler will show mercy.

Yes, this plane also has an Inquisition. However, the power of the Inquisition itself is limited; it doesn't have unlimited power. The power of the Inquisition operates like this: before taking action, the relevant department will issue a document clearly outlining the scope of their authority. If they overstep their bounds, they will be held accountable. If a conflict breaks out, they will even be beaten to death.

For example, imagine a planetary battle against Chaos. The Chapter Master of a particular interstellar regiment is the overall commander, with the Inquisition supporting them. After the battle, the Chapter Master is responsible for the disposition of the combatants, as his supreme command authority overrides the Inquisition's. Therefore, if the Inquisition's actions contradict the Supreme Commander's orders, the Inquisition must obey.

So, is there a time when the power of the Inquisition is expanded? Yes, it is possible, but only when it is led by the Emperor's retainers or the Imperial Guards.

As for the Assassin's Court? Neither the Emperor nor the Traveler had established one. After all, there were many people and forces capable of doing this, so there was no need to single out a separate faction.

"Go back, Qile. If you can satisfy me in the future, you will be the first Sector Bishop I recognize," the Emperor said. He didn't plan to appoint a bishop spanning the entire Empire. In his view, the state religion was merely a minor detail, and its influence shouldn't affect Imperial decision-making. The Traveler shared this sentiment, and even the Traveler Cult itself was quite fragmented, with everyone working independently and offering favors when needed.

Of course, if a super-strong man emerged from the sect who could truly bring all the wealthy, gun-toting tech gurus to heel, the Traveler would be happy to see it happen. However, the probability seems slim. After all, among all the tech gurus, has any of the Martian tech gurus ever truly been able to "persuade" the Forge Worlds? Clearly, no! Tech gurus are generally quite hardcore.

Meanwhile, Castin continued his barrage in the square, his verbal attacks unwavering. A response had been received from the higher-ups: the Imperial Chamberlain supported his actions and said he could continue. This greatly encouraged Castin, but his only regret was that he could only speak, not physically...

Kasdin didn't dwell too much on the status of the Emperor and the Traveler, as the issue was a sensitive one. Simply put, the Terran bureaucrats were definitely leaning towards the Emperor, as the Traveler had little experience with them. The Navigators and the Astropaths were the Traveler's established factions. You could deny the Emperor, but you couldn't deny your founder. The Primarchs, on the other hand, maintained a neutral stance, as they were well aware of the relationship between the Emperor and the Traveler.

As for the other two major forces of the Imperium, the Imperial Fleet is definitely more heavily in favor of the Traveler, since you're always out and about. As for the Imperial mortal forces, the faith of the Emperor and the Traveler is about evenly split. As for the various worlds, the Emperor's faith still holds a significant advantage, as he led the Great Crusade.

The main issue Castin mentioned was the certification of these so-called Ecclesiarchs. That's right, certification. Simply put, who made you a bishop? Does the Emperor know about this? Does Terra know about it? Do the Primarchs know about it? Who gave you the right to do things in the Emperor's name?

You say you believe in the Emperor? Who can prove your faith? Do you have the Emperor's canonization documents? Do you have any of the Emperor's relics? Having said this, Castin took out the Traveler's Cup. The cup, emitting a blue glow, hovered in the air, emitting a faint sense of pressure.

"You have proclaimed yourselves bishops and cardinals without the Emperor's certification. This is the greatest crime. But I am different. I have fought alongside the gods and have been favored by our Lord." Castin said finally.

"Respected Great Sage Castin, the words of the two fellow believers just now were indeed a bit presumptuous, but this is an internal issue of the state religion, or even if it is dealt with, it has been handed over to the department that truly has the authority to handle it." At this time, Qile spoke, holding high in her hand the book bestowed by the Emperor.

As the current leader of the state religion, Qile also needs to first safeguard the interests and dignity of the state religion.

"As for the relationship between our two sects, I think that the Emperor and the Traveler are equal allies, so we should also be friends rather than enemies. Some arguments are meaningless." Qile said, and her words caused an uproar within the Ecclesiarchy. After all, in the hearts of most Ecclesiarchs, the Emperor should be the highest.

"Lord Qile, your actions bring shame upon the Emperor."

"We act in obedience to the Emperor's will. No one is above us except the Emperor." As the square gradually became chaotic, even Qile's repeated attempts to suppress the situation proved ineffective. Worse still, she went from being a pioneer of the state religion to being denounced as a traitor.

"She's still not able to do it. Let's go." The seal holder said as he looked at the square that had become chaotic.

"Okay." Endless Journey said, and then the two disappeared from where they were. When they appeared in the square, an unimaginable powerful force froze everyone in place!

"I come on behalf of the Emperor." The Seal Bearer spoke first.

"I come on behalf of the Traveler." Then the Endless Journey came, and golden and blue light illuminated the entire square. Everyone, whether they were sect leaders, or the surrounding legion soldiers, mortal officials, and even the Imperial Guards, bowed in salute.

"The Emperor and the Traveler are equal allies. They are both human gods who have collaborated over the ages, and together they have accomplished the revival of human civilization and the fight against the evil gods."

"Their greatness is beyond your imagination. Any mortal who tries to rank the gods according to his own ideas is committing an unforgivable crime!" The Seal Bearer first set the tone of the matter, that is, the status of the Emperor and the Traveler is equal, and from now on, no one can use this as an excuse.

"The Emperor and the Traveler serve the civilization and well-being of mankind. What they value is that you carry out their wishes, not turning faith into a business or a means of profit. This is a blasphemy against the gods and a betrayal of human civilization." Then the Endless Journey spoke.

"In order to regulate the state religion and the Traveler Sect, the two Supremes have formulated corresponding laws. You must abide by them, and violators will be severely punished." The Seal Holder waved his hand, and relevant content appeared in the minds of all the state religion believers. At the same time, the Endless Journey also entered the transactions and systems of the Traveler Sect into the storage unit of each believer.

"Alright, the perpetrators will be punished, and the disloyal will be identified! Now, representatives of both parties shall enter the palace together," the seal bearer said. Then, several imperial guards arrived and took away the troublemakers. The matter was finally resolved. Regardless, the status of the state religion and the Traveler Cult was resolved.

With the conflict in the square coming to an end, the two sects entered the palace side by side. At this time, the Primarch and representatives of various Imperial institutions were already in place. With a golden and blue beam of light falling, the Emperor and the Traveler appeared on the Golden Throne. Of course, there were two seats on the throne of this plane, the Emperor on the left and the Traveler on the right.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we sit here today to commemorate our compatriots who sacrificed their lives in the Great Crusade and in suppressing the rebellion. We sit here to review the achievements of the past and to envision a glorious future. Today marks the end of an old era and the beginning of a new one."

"The Heresy was a tragedy. Many problems were exposed during this rebellion. The arrogance, fragile will, and evil ambitions of some of my descendants caused human civilization to suffer a major setback. The evil gods of the Warp plotted their schemes in the dark corners, constantly seeking to devour our souls and bodies. They are our eternal enemies. Their deception and conspiracy are pervasive, making it impossible to defend against them. Many people have been bewitched and corrupted."

"The corruption of some of my descendants is merely a plot by the evil gods, and it will definitely not be their final one. Some of you may fall into the abyss in the future. But I believe that human civilization will continue to forge ahead in the darkness, and that more people will follow in our footsteps, pushing human civilization to new heights. May we stand together in the future."

"This great rebellion has exposed many problems, and we are constantly resolving them. For example, regarding the Primarchs, the Legions, the Mechanicus, and the Ecclesiarchy. Relevant measures have been proposed. Everyone should have reached a general consensus. So I don't want certain things to be brought up again after today. The past is over, and that's it." said the Emperor.

"Now, my partner, the first human to complete the Path of Transcendence, will be in charge of the next steps." The Emperor looked at the Traveler. Indeed, to this day, the Emperor still refuses to acknowledge himself as a god... Therefore, the teachings of the State Religion can only refer to him as the Holy Emperor, not the Divine Emperor... It's not others who disagree, it's the Emperor!

The Traveler then began his work schedule. The first item was to strengthen the Empire's grassroots organizations! Simply put, Terra's authority couldn't just rely on the fleet, the Astra Militarum, and taxation! Terra's administrative reach would gradually extend to the planets. The power to appoint and dismiss most planetary governors would be vested in Terra, while administrative authority would also be delegated to the grassroots.

The second point concerns the division of the Legions and their future priorities, as well as the arrangement of new expeditionary plans and the appointment and dismissal of key personnel. Essentially, this round of expansion aims to gradually reduce the role of the Primarchs, who, after all, have other responsibilities. This will give the Navy, the Mechanicum, and the Astra Militarum a fighting chance.

After the Emperor and the Traveler finished their speeches, representatives from various factions within the Empire also spoke. Warmaster Jonson outlined the direction and plans for the Empire's next phase of expansion. Guilliman, the Chancellor-in-Chief, addressed several issues concerning the Empire's construction and management in the next phase.

Ferrus was in charge of the technical aspects, and he proposed the technical problems that the Empire needed to focus on solving in the next 50 years. The Sigillite was mainly responsible for the work of Terra's bureaucracy and put forward several suggestions.

Just like other meetings in human history, when the bigwigs attended and sat down to talk, many problems had actually been resolved. The entire meeting was more of a ceremony than a meeting.

Finally, as the Emperor and the Traveler had said, with the end of the Heresy, a completely different era had finally begun. Humanity still had to fight against evil gods, various aliens, and the impending Zerg, but this time, human civilization was filled with light!

Chapter 471 The Death of Typhons 1

"Have all the people been delivered?" Typhons asked, standing on the bridge of the Terminus Est, looking at the fleet transporting personnel in the distance.

"It's done, my lord." Beside him, a plague warrior surrounded by flies and emitting a foul odor all over his body bowed and saluted.

"You didn't let them enjoy the blessing of the great Nurgle now, did you?" Typhon said with a gloomy face.

"No, ever since Rhodes and his men were punished for acting on their own, no one dares to do this." The Plague Warrior shuddered in fear.

Chaos is like a cockroach: if you can't kill it, it's always going to cause trouble. And on this plane, the Chaos forces, especially the Chaos Space Marine Legions, are even more prone to causing trouble. The reason is simple: the Warp is empty except for energy, demons, and a bunch of other crap! How can the Legion rebuild and develop without supplies?

The Chaos Gods are not omnipotent. First of all, these four bosses are not good at forging, so they cannot create a large number of war machines that can exist in the physical universe for a long time.

What if they need war machines? Chaos, in the background, has only two options. One is to rely on plunder and corruption, and to have the Chaos Legion and the Black Mechanics teach them how to build these machines. The Chaos Legion also needs to engage in industrialization. The other option is to see if they can import some from the Wa Banxian.

But in this plane, Wa Banxian has already surrendered to the enemy. Furthermore, the Eye of Terror has been razed. While some of the planets within the Eye of Terror in the background can provide some resources, it's not entirely clear that the former Eye of Terror has fallen into the hands of the Empire. However, Chaos would have to risk their lives to obtain even a single resource, like a pound of blood for a pound of iron.

After all, this was once the heart of the Eldar Empire. Even if humans didn't care, whether they were Black Bean Sprouts, White Bean Sprouts, Flower Bean Sprouts (Harlequins), or Wild Bean Sprouts (Eldar from the Savage World), they all wanted to reclaim the old capital. They were truly desperate! Don't think Bean Sprouts are weak. Not to mention the Eldar as a whole, even during the Great Crusade, an Eldar Craftworld held the Blood Angels hostage. What's Typhon's current rank? Would he dare challenge the Eldar?

(As an aside, even in the background, Chaos Space Marines are generally not doing very well. It is common for them to wear a set of power armor covered with patches and made up of several sets of parts of different specifications. The ownership of a set of Terminator armor may cause an internal conflict.

So what about those famous figures? Look at Typhons in the background. Typhons' Plague Fleet during the 3th Black Crusade consisted of only three battleships, three heavy cruisers, five cruiser flotillas, and 3 frigate flotillas. That's a lot more than a Chapter Fleet, but the Imperium has around 5 Chapters, not counting the Imperial Navy and the Mechanicus Fleet.

On this plane, Chaos' situation is even worse. The Banxian no longer trades with Chaos, but has instead joined the Empire. The Eye of Terror is gone, making it difficult for Typhon to seize his opponent's power. After all, even if he tries, he must be able to defeat or even encounter them. On this plane, many of the Empire's warp voyages have begun using the Webway. With over 280 million Space Marines and the vast Imperial Navy, Chaos is unsure who will be the prey.

Indeed, centuries after the Heresy, Chaos Space Marines are now a rare commodity. According to the latest pricing, killing 100 Chaos Space Marines can earn you Planetary Governorship or other rewards. Many Imperial heroes have achieved their rank advancement by using the brains of Chaos Space Marines.

Typhons was an ambitious man, willing to sacrifice his life for Nurgle. So he wanted to rebuild the Death Guard. There were two key points to rebuilding the legion: the first was to have people, and the second was to have equipment. However, these two points were not available in the Warp. So Typhons brought his fleet to the real universe.

He found a place, far from the Astronomican range, and seemingly devoid of any Webway nearby, at least Typhon hadn't found one. Typhon decided to build an industrial world there, producing their own food and clothing. The planet's infrastructure was decent, but it lacked people, so Typhon decided to recruit populations from the outer worlds of the Empire.

Typhon needed healthy people, so he absolutely put an end to the contamination of these people. After all, if they turned into Nurgle zombies, how could they work? There was a guy who spread the plague on a transport ship before being torn apart by Typhon in anger. His soul was then fed to the demons, and the remaining flesh turned into Chaos Spawn.

Furthermore, since this plane's boss didn't cast Chaos, and the demonic womb didn't appear, expanding the Chaos Space Marines was also problematic. To ensure viable gene-seed, the various evil gods didn't completely corrupt their legions. For example, Typhon's army consisted of only a small number of Plague Marines, their intestines exposed and bile leaking. The majority remained normal, simply to allow them to produce gene-seed.

"Sir, the Lord Harvester has returned and brought a large amount of supplies." A servant reported to Typhon.

"This guy? Hmm..." Typhus frowned, feeling very unhappy. The Reapers are a relatively independent Nurgle war gang, which means that Typhus has limited influence on them. It's not that Typhus doesn't have the ability to control the Reapers, but because although everyone is a Nurgle believer, their compatibility is somewhat incompatible.

Typhons and his ilk worship Nurgle's twisted vitality and disease. The Reapers and their warband, on the other hand, worship Nurgle's other side, that of death. If the Plague Marines are a twisted mass of rotten flesh, the Reapers and their warband are much cleaner. With a new coat of paint and the absence of certain anti-Chaos checks, they could easily pass themselves off as Space Marine loyalists. They worship death and the end.
