Facing the current Luode, let alone the genetic primarch Roboute Guilliman, even if the Emperor arrived, it would be of no use; before Luode, even Roboute Guilliman, this primarch, is nothing more than a child.

How did the Emperor create the primarchs? He used his own immortal genes, plus the genes of another female immortal, Eldar, to create the flesh, and during the creation of the flesh, he also embedded some other genes.

Basically, he used the highest technology humanity could access; besides that, the most crucial step: the Emperor entered the Warp.

Perhaps he made a deal with the God of Death, or perhaps he hid from the Four Gods and stole twenty powerful lesser gods born in the Warp right under their noses.

Therefore, all genetic primarchs are essentially gods, and gods related to humanity; in this galactic stage, every race has its own deities, even the Tyranid swarm has an entity called the Great Devourer.

The Ork race has Gork and Mork, the Eldar have many Eldar gods, but now only the Laughing God remains, plus the Life Goddess imprisoned in the Garden of Nurgle.

Even the young Tau have their own goddess; thus, as the rulers of the galaxy for over ten thousand years, humanity in its golden age, a powerful race capable of arm-wrestling nations, has no reason not to give birth to its own god.

And these gods born of humanity certainly had a hard time in the Warp, so the Emperor's appearance was also a lifeline for them; thus they followed the Emperor into the real universe and into true human bodies.

The primarch of the Blood Angels, Sanguinius, is very likely a vampire and a great angel, because in the earliest Western Bible, vampires were actually formed from a fallen angel.

The genetic primarch of the Space Wolves' Wolf Pack might well be a wolf god; pledging allegiance to the cruel Angron is likely to be a war god.

And this Roboute Guilliman Luode before you can clearly see his inner self through his eyes; he too is a god, his soul is that of a true god.

His strength has reached the level of the Death God and Sleep God from the Saint Seiya world, but because he lacks the small cosmos and divine power, and a suitable divine body, he cannot unleash the power he originally should have.

"A god trapped in a human husk, although this husk is very powerful, but your essence is a god, you should have realized that yourself?" Luode looked at Roboute Guilliman and spoke.

Hearing this, Roboute Guilliman's face changed.

"I am human, not some god; there is no such thing as gods in this world." Roboute Guilliman shook his head and said.

During the Great Crusade, when the Emperor still walked among men, he once told them that all genetic primarchs have no such title as god.

Those so-called Warp Four Gods are merely negative emotions, positive emotions, combined with the primordial power in the Warp, forming monsters.

Take the youngest of the Chaos Gods, Slaanesh, for example; its birth was due to the collective self-destructive behavior of a race, because the Eldar collectively indulged in pleasure.

Even when I once returned to the Terra Imperial Palace, I saw my creator again.

The father of all genetic primarchs, the Emperor himself, has already become a pile of desiccated flesh.

His flesh has rotted to the extreme, but his spiritual energy and his soul have become so strong as to be unimaginable; even saying he is the fifth Chaos God is not an exaggeration.

"Actually, the Emperor, strictly speaking, as long as your human race is willing to sacrifice, he will become like Slaanesh, the fifth Warp Chaos God." Luode spoke.

"You damned xenos, you heretic, why do you dare say that?" An Imperial Ecclesiarchy judge could no longer bear it, glaring at Luode and speaking.

But the moment his words fell, his entire body instantly turned to ash, becoming powder drifting in the ship.

"I am merely speaking the truth, I never lie, and for you, I have no need to lie.

Even this matter, Roboute Guilliman, you should have already discovered; the Emperor's godhood is merely a matter of time.

I'll give you the most obvious example: those ever-active Living Saints in your Imperium possess ultimate power, even able to grow angel wings on their backs.

Their bodies radiate golden light; even if killed, they can reshape their bodies in the Warp and come back to life; don't you think they resemble some kind of life? I say I'm right, Cyrus Ding. You are actually a demon prince the Emperor ascended in disguise." Luode looked at the female angel radiating golden light beside him and spoke.

The Living Saints created by the Emperor are, frankly speaking, a kind of theoretical ascension to demonhood, only because the Emperor's power has not yet reached the realm of the Chaos Four Minor Dealers.

Even so, Living Saint Cyrus Ding can still cleave Chaos Greater Daemons, punch Chaos Warlord Abaddon, you say she's not a demon prince—ghosts wouldn't believe it.

Hearing this, as a Living Saint who has operated for thousands of years in the Imperial domain, saving the suffering on countless battlefields, Cyrus Ding's face changed wildly.

And the genetic primarch Roboute Guilliman also gritted his teeth, for during the Wars of the King's Way, the Emperor had secretly dispatched a day-hiding legion, even resurrecting a deceased primarch brother.

This is a power to transmute demons, but humanity simply refuses to acknowledge it! "No! I, I am the Emperor's angel! I am no demon prince!" Cyrus Ding gritted her teeth, looked at Luode and spoke.

Even knowing all the truth, she cannot accept this, for it has utterly shattered her faith, shattered all her faith in the Emperor, master of the human Imperium.

"Tch! What you are, I have no interest in knowing; now you are all my captives, or if anyone among you wishes or plans to resist, you may try." Luode arrogantly lifted his head and spoke.

"You wish! Even if we all die here, you shall never dream of ruling us humans." The utterly loyal to the Imperial Ecclesiarchy, the Battle Sisters and some priests spoke.

"Heh heh!" Luode continued to release his small cosmos pressure, forcing everyone to kneel on the ground, unable to rise, then he came before the genetic primarch in Roboute Guilliman's.

Seeing Luode approach, Roboute Guilliman felt a bad premonition, his body wanted to struggle backward, but Luode gave him no chance, extended a finger, flashing with a strange light, then touched it to Roboute Guilliman's forehead.

"Come! Feel this power, feel the power of a true god, unleash your talent, unleash everything you have." The words of Bode seemed to have a kind of magic, Roboute Guilliman's eyes fell into a daze.

His whole body unconsciously trembled, his body slowly floated in midair.

The fate armor originally used to protect him and even sustain his life suddenly left his body, then Roboute Guilliman's body began to shine with golden light.

From a three-and-a-half-meter-tall small giant, he gradually began to shrink, becoming about two meters tall, his body nearly presenting a perfect man.

Slowly descending to the ground, a glint of golden light flashed in Roboute Guilliman's eyes.

The divinity within him, stimulated by Luode's divine small cosmos and divine power, made a complete and thorough resolution, and Luode also kindly used divine power to baptize his body, letting his body completely metamorphose from a mortal husk into a divine body.

From a mortal formally becoming a god, able to freely enter and exit the Warp. Flesh and soul truly achieved union.

Rather than before, when an immensely powerful soul was hard-stuffed into a genetically modified husk.

"The Emperor created our bodies! But this body is a cage, now this cage has been broken.

I have finally awakened my true power and my true face; I am the god of humanity, I am the god in charge of wisdom, military strategy, and stratagems." Roboute Guilliman spoke.

"Now this is somewhat interesting; your current power within this cosmic space, unless the Chaos Temple Gods come out, otherwise there will absolutely be no one who exists as your opponent.

Continue the Great Crusade! But this time your goal is to completely unify the entire galaxy."

"How should I address you? You have bestowed upon me new life, let my divinity fully awaken, and forged for me a divine body; should I call you my new father?" Roboute Guilliman looked at Luode with some complexity and spoke.

The Emperor merely regarded himself as a tool, regarded him as an executioner, even sometimes scolded himself as a failed work; he does not know whether his father the Emperor now counts as a complete person; the Emperor from beginning to end loved only humanity as a species, not any individual; these genetic primarchs are all tools the Emperor created to achieve some mission.

"I have no interest in managing so many things; actually I rule countless worlds. Your world, I merely want to save humanity.

Because you should also be clear, if I do nothing, or if no one does anything, then ultimately humanity's end is very simple.

There is only one: to die completely. All human souls will be sacrificed, when the last human falls.

Your father, as father of the genetic primarchs, the Emperor will rise from the Golden Throne, then thoroughly complete his metamorphosis.

Become the fifth Chaos God in the Warp, and with endless wrath and the four Warp Chaos Gods, launch an endless eternal war." Luode spoke.

This is the final end of the human Imperium; theoretically, the four Warp Chaos Gods cannot be eliminated, unless there is no intelligent life in the universe, otherwise these fellows cannot disappear; even these fellows, born from the Warp's primordial power, even if all intelligent life disappears.

But the Warp and the real universe still existing will nurture countless intelligent lives; these fellows can be said to be eternal and undying; finally, humanity's end is thus.

Actually, the Emperor's best course would be to let himself thoroughly become a Warp Chaos God, become the fifth Chaos God in the Warp, exclusive to humanity.

Under the protection of the Emperor, humanity will surely dominate the Warp, and in that case, there would naturally be no need to worry about other problems.

However, the Emperor himself is a human supremacist, even proclaiming that all non-human races are inferior lifeforms that should be eradicated.

After becoming the fifth Chaos God, his greatest likelihood is being besieged by the four Chaos Gods and then devoured by these four entities, with a fate no better than that.

Wode did not mean to speak alarmingly, for after all, the time of becoming a god came relatively late, and Luode even felt that the four Chaos Gods of the Warp were intentionally cultivating the Emperor, subjecting humanity to various forms of oppression and corruption.

But these things are actually all nutrients for the Emperor, allowing him to grow strong and become nourishment for this fifth Warp Chaos God.

"I understand. My current strength can indeed achieve this. I will rule the entire human race." Roboute Guilliman stood up and spoke.

At this moment, all the Machine Cult Archmagos within the battle barge, the Imperial Inquisitors, the Battle Sisters, and a large contingent of Space Marines stared at the Primarch in utter disbelief.

Some even believed that the Primarch Roboute Guilliman at this moment had become no different from the traitorous Primarchs, transforming into a Daemon Prince.

"I will give you some advanced scientific knowledge. Among them is a technique for folding space in the universe, which does not require the power of the Warp and allows rapid travel through cosmic space." Luode said, then transmitted a small portion of mortal technology obtained from the Xel'naga—specifically, the spatial jump technology of the human Terran Empire—to Roboute Guilliman.

Then his eyes transformed entirely into blood-red. Using his immense spiritual energy, he completely controlled all external spacecraft and every human in the entire fleet.

Whether Astartes star warriors or ordinary mortal auxiliaries, even some Battle Sisters, were forcibly brainwashed by Luode using psychic power.

"I have already altered everyone's memories. Next, I will give you a special eye and a special ancient poem, enabling you to wield a power called Chakra.

With this eye, you can also modify people's memories at any time and place, even altering an entire planet's memories at once." Luode produced a fruit of the Ten-Tails; this initial Chakra fruit, he has as much as he wants, and he replaced Roboute Guiliman's eyes with a pair of Sharingan.

Under the stimulation of divine power and the Chakra fruit, these eyes will quickly evolve into Rinnegan Sharingan, and even Roboute Guilliman will awaken the Rinnegan.

With these eyes and the power of Chakra, subsequent actions will become much easier, and even Chakra power can be disseminated throughout the human empire, becoming a safer, more reliable, controllable, and cultivable force compared to psychic power.

"The rest is up to you. I will continue searching this planet for those bugs or other space undead races to play with." Luode said, then turned and vanished directly, leaving Roboute Guilliman's flagship.

After Luode's departure, the immense pressure within the ship's hold vanished instantly, and the humans aboard had no idea what had happened.

In an instant, the entire expedition fleet was brainwashed by Luode in some manner, and the Primarch Roboute Guilliman became a blade in Luode's hand.

After receiving the folding technique taught by Luode, Roboute Guilliman quickly summoned the Mechanicus personnel, then had these members produce engines capable of spatial folding, which were subsequently installed on all spacecraft.

With engines capable of folding in the vacuum of space, the human fleet's navigation speed even surpassed the superluminal flight of the space undead swarms.

The speed of this great crusade will also increase rapidly, and simultaneously, the various technologies provided by Luode will cause the human army's combat power to shift swiftly.

At this moment, the Chaos Gods of the Warp discovered that Roboute Guilliman seemed to have truly become a god, capable of existing simultaneously in the physical real universe and the illusory Warp realm.

However, Roboute Guilliman's power at this moment is fundamentally beyond what Chaos Daemons or Chaos lifeforms can oppose.

Even the impostor spokesperson Chaos Warmaster Abaddon, propped up by the Four Little Chaos Traders, is no match for the Primarch in single combat.

Having fully awakened his divine power, possessing his own divine body, and having obtained the Chakra fruit bestowed by Luode.

He rapidly transmitted this Chakra power first to the Adeptus Astartes Monastic Extreme Warriors Battle Company, then disseminated it outward.

Any Space Marine battle company that disobeys Roboute Guilliman's command is purged, though this purification is not slaughter but direct mental control via the Sharingan's illusion.

For example, a certain Space Wolf squad, with a single Infinite Tsukuyomi, controls the entire planet, then undergoes brainwashing—simple and efficient to the extreme.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred years passed; Luode continuously brought his war planet to attack the Tyranid swarms, then pursued various necromancy overlords across the universe.

Besides enjoying the pleasure brought by combat, he also researched the Ork species' Dakka power, even sneaking into the Warp to completely absorb the Ork gods Gork and Mork.

Anyway, you two idiots, forever fighting, forever ignoring things, possessing immense divine power is useless—just hand it over! After fully mastering this Dakka power, this power to distort reality from nothing, Luode's true form awakened from slumber.

After over a hundred years, Luode successfully absorbed all the divine power of the Absolute God Ghups, formally entering the ranks of the multiversal level.

Luode's avatar also swiftly returned to the main body, bringing a portion of divine power, as well as a special reality-altering power, the Ork race's Dakka power.

"I didn't expect an unexpected gain. This power to alter reality and make thoughts manifest is indeed special—indeed, a mortal race has nurtured such immense power, but now this power is mine." Luode spoke.

After recalling his avatar, Luode naturally gained all the avatar's memories and understood what had occurred during his years of slumber while absorbing absolute divine power.

Simply put, the avatar joyfully waged various wars across the cosmic galaxy, fully demonstrating the genes of the Ork race.

By infinitely amplifying the joy of war, it was precisely this infinite amplification that allowed Luode's true form to successfully obtain the power to alter cosmic reality.

After absorbing the Absolute God's power, Luode instantly appeared in the Warp and then snapped his fingers.

With the snap, all existing beings in the Warp collectively turned to ash—those terrifyingly immense Chaos Daemons, endless Chaos Demons.

Those fallen mortal races, those fallen believers, even the four most powerful Chaos Gods in the Warp, were all enveloped by an invisible force. Then, no matter how they struggled or resisted,

they could not oppose this Absolute God's power, this multiversal-level power.

Having absorbed the Absolute God's power and fortuitously gained control over reality alteration, Luode's divine power stands at the pinnacle among Absolute Gods in the multiverse.

After accomplishing all this, Luode extended his divine sense infinitely, completely subsuming this Warhammer universe into his own cosmic space.

As for Roboute Guilliman and the galaxy-spanning empire he founded, even the Emperor seated upon a certain Golden Throne, they completely lack the will to intervene. Roboute Guilliman is the nominal father who saved himself, to let him descend from the Golden Throne to enjoy his twilight years, or to kill this human Emperor.

To Luode, it is irrelevant; Luode opened a spatial gate and returned to the world of Azeroth.

Having spent a hundred years in the Warhammer universe, but in the Azeroth world, it was merely a fleeting moment; now Luode also possesses immense temporal power.

"You've returned!"

"Dear, your presence feels completely different now."

"Lord Luode, you're so strong! Now looking at you feels like gazing upon a true god."

Athena, Yamato, Sylvanas, Tyrande, Helya, even the moon goddess Elune, all stared at Luode in astonishment.

"Congratulations, Luode, you have finally reached the highest realm, becoming that supreme Absolute God, second only to the transcendent Cronus in power." Athena looked at Luode and spoke.

My man has finally grown; I too must strive harder, hurry to become a primordial god and wield ultimate power.

"Hahaha! I could achieve today's success thanks to you all, especially you, Athena. Come, let us welcome the birth of your other sister—Azeroth is due to be born." Luode spoke. (End of chapter)
