64: Chapter 64 The Primarch Project, Erda's Betrayal.

The experience from the Thunder Warrior Project made the Emperor realize that he needed generals he could trust completely, and even more so, warriors who shared his vision and capabilities. Thus, the Emperor began the Primarch Project.

Using his own genes as a template and combining them with the genes of Eldar, a fellow Perpetual, he cultivated the embryos of 20 Primarchs. (Brothers, is 21 better or 20? After all, Alpharius and Omegon are twins.)

"So they weren't 'born' by those two."

"Looking at it from another perspective, they could be considered 'born' by them." (Smirk)

The Emperor intended for these "children" he created with his own hands to serve as his military Commanders, diplomats, and leaders of the great journey. A grand plan awaited the Primarchs as they grew—a beautiful future the Emperor had written for humanity, a bright path for mankind to return to the Golden Age, and the "Great Crusade" to make humanity great again.

But the Emperor never expected that a shameful betrayal would turn his efforts to ashes and drag the human race into endless flames of war.

"Brothers, that rebellion is coming!"

"Right, right, that most shameful rebellion is particularly mysterious. I, Brother Gao, don't want to reveal a single thing."

To better protect humanity and make it great again, the Emperor took the lead in launching the Primarch Project. Based on his own genetic template, he created 20 Primarch embryos and placed them in a secret laboratory beneath the Himalayas. Once these Primarchs grew, they would become demigods walking the earth, spreading the "Imperial Truth" to every corner of the Milky Way in the Emperor's name.

To enhance the Primarchs while they were still in the embryonic stage and to break the limits of genetic engineering, the Emperor also used power obtained from the Warp to strengthen them, granting them near-godlike abilities—but this also unintentionally increased the risk of the Primarchs being corrupted by Chaos. For this reason, the Emperor had inscribed protective psychic runes on the Primarchs' incubation tanks and constructed the most powerful Geller Field in history around the Himalayas.

The players watched everything the Emperor had arranged and couldn't help but ask, "Even with all this... an accident could still happen?"

"Oh, so this Geller Field is meant to defend against the Warp."

"But there is still a Slaanesh in the Warp; I wonder if there are other Evil Gods? If so, wouldn't the Emperor's scions be in danger?"

Unfortunately, such rigorous protection was still far from enough before the Chaos Gods. The Evil Gods feared the Emperor's plan and did not want to see humanity move toward reason and science under his leadership—such order would directly weaken their power within the Warp.

Thus, the Chaos Gods used some unknown means to bewitch Eldar, the Mother of Primarchs...

"You are right. I cannot let the children become his tools of war; I must save our children."

"Yes, I must save my children."

Eldar personally created a Warp rift in the Emperor's laboratory, scattering the Primarchs to every corner of the Milky Way. But unexpectedly, the Emperor never punished Eldar, allowing her to escape...

In this way, the Primarchs who should have become the Emperor's generals were scattered across the Milky Way by the Warp rift.
