93: Chapter 93 The Alliance with Mars, Primarch 17 Loga.

The Emperor thus set foot on Mars.

When the Emperor arrived on Mars, rain began to fall on the long-parched planet.

The Tech-Priests of Mars were astonished to find that the normally restless Machine Spirits had miraculously calmed down.

Consequently, some of the Priests who witnessed this knelt on the ground in excitement, loudly praising: "Praise the Omnissiah."

"Brothers, why does the more I look at the Emperor, the more he seems like a charlatan?"

"Charlatans know how to fool people, and so does the Emperor. You're not wrong, brother."

Subsequently, after some negotiations, the Emperor concluded the "Treaty of Olympus" with Mars, thereby establishing an alliance.

From then on, the symbol of the Imperium of Man changed from a single eagle to a double-headed eagle.

The Imperium then began its journey of conquering the star seas.

Mars was responsible for producing the weapons and ammunition needed for the Great Crusade.

The Imperium and the Cult Mechanicus of Mars entered into a cooperative relationship.

During this time, the Emperor simultaneously conducted the Great Crusade while searching for his progeny scattered across the galaxy.

Some Primarchs were found quickly and immediately threw themselves into the Great Crusade, but the search process for others was not very pleasant.

Although some Primarchs were very resistant, they were all more or less brought back by the Emperor using forceful means.

And this action by the Emperor laid the fuse that would eventually trigger the tragedy that would explode the entire Imperium.

"Independent partners versus sons forced to return. Emperor, no wonder you ended up with a rebellion."

"The Emperor is quite bold. He dares to use children he forcibly brought back. His emotional intelligence must be shockingly low."

Regardless, the Emperor's primary task was to make humanity great again.

Therefore, the Emperor began to promote the Imperial Truth of rational science, wanting to use rationality to divert humanity's spiritual needs for religious belief, thereby weakening the influence of the Warp on humanity.

And the gods within the Warp would never sit idly by while their power was weakened by the Emperor.

However, the opportunity soon came...

Lorgar Aurelian, the Primarch of the 17th Legion, the Word Bearers, had a clash of ideologies with the Emperor, which gave the dark gods an opportunity.

As a child, the Primarch landed on a religious planet named Colchis.

Due to Lorgar's psychic talent, he foresaw the Emperor's arrival early on and regarded the Emperor as the god of his faith.

Thus, after growing up, the Primarch launched a religious war and unified Colchis.

"Brothers, isn't this game over? First, the Primarch believes in the Emperor. But the Emperor promotes the Imperial Truth. It's over, it would be strange if something didn't go wrong."

"I seriously suspect this was a trap set by the Chaos Gods."

When the Emperor arrived, the Primarch Lorgar quickly accepted the Emperor and declared that he would spread the faith of the Emperor to every world in the Imperium.

He invited the Emperor to a grand banquet and proved the accuracy of his prophecy to all the people of Colchis.

Although the Emperor felt dissatisfied, he did not show it.

After the banquet ended, the Emperor handed the command of the 17th Legion to Lorgar and then hurriedly returned to the Great Crusade.

"It's over, brothers, the fuse is confirmed."

"The Emperor's explanation was too stiff; his emotional intelligence is really low."

"He's lived for so many years, yet he's not even as good as me."

However, Lorgar brought fanaticism to the 17th Legion.

They constantly propagated the divinity of the Emperor during the Great Crusade, causing him and his Legion to lag behind other Legions in the Great Crusade, which incurred the Emperor's dissatisfaction, and then a series of tragedies occurred.
