The Emperor, is all of his power, is reborn when the clock strikes Midnight on 999 M41

The Astronomicon is brighter than it has even been before with the Emperors RAGE for what has befallen mankind, and Terra is no longer at risk of being swallowed by the Warp, and the Golden Throne has been repaired back to 100% functionality. The Imperial Web way is now being worked on again by a bunch of very confused Tech Priests who were to sacred to question a 12 foot tall Golden God who was yelling at them.

How any of this happened is any ones guess.

beyond that, shit is still fucked, Aliens, mutants, and heretics still assault the Imperium from all sides. The 13th Black Crusade has taken the worst possible turn as all of the Demon Primarchs are readying to fuck everything up as much as possible, all the Loyal Primarchs are still missing/dead, and Cadia has fallen, the only thing standing between Terra and the Forces of Chaos are is the Imperial Navy, CREED, and the Space Marines of over one hundred Chapters ready to lay down their lives in the defense of Terra.


What does the Emperor do first?

Puts out an psychic call to his sons still up and about to rally their respective chapters back into legions; wakes up the sleeping primarch by travelling to macragge and tellin the DA to get the rock there aswell.

Afterwards he the sends an emissary to the tau saying stay the fuck east or get curb stomped as I don't have time for your bullshit and there are nids who are hungry for your blue cameltoes. Followed by counter crusade towards cadia; crushing the uprisings of cultists as he goes

>seriously implying the tau would even register on his radar

The Imperium probably loses more worlds in a week to Chaos than there are in the entire Tau empire.
>>
>>43550953
IMO he woke up because the Eldar woke up Ynnead too early and she fled into the webway to escape slaanesh himself. Instead of wasting away or being consumed by the dark eldar, she poured through the golden throne, flaring off like a billion human psykers and catapulting EMPRH's warp presence into true godhood.

IMO wisely chaos retreats rather than try to face his full might, (except khorne dudes, they become speedbumps) and Emps just flies up and closes the eye of chaos with his fucking mind. Chaos is reduced to guerilla tactics in the physical world, as they are now fighting Imperial archangels and a realized Chaos God of Order across the immaterium.

Nids keep on chilling outside the galaxy, they are ready to wait a few hundred years to see how this all plays out but start getting ready to cut their losses and try another galaxy. Orks keep being orky. Dark Eldar are utterly routed out of the webway, Craftworld eldar are all dead to awaken Ynnead, only a handful of exodite worlds left = eldar now irrelevant, just like the tau.

Only real problem is the Necrons, this shite going down is pretty likely wake them all up and start War in Heaven 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Because Emps isn't BLOODS FOR THE SKULL BLOOD, he isn't wanton murder and genocide and spilled blood to appease malignant darkness. He's violent, but he's Ordered Violence and tactics and love and honour and compassion. Humanity LOVES him and he loves them and wants to protect them and make them strong. Khorne just wants blood and skulls, man.

They're kind of completely different.
>>
>>43551015

>>43553121
Why DOES Emps care so much about humanity anyway?
>>
>>43553418
Because he IS humanity. He the ultimate human, the result of a mass self-sacrifice of stone age shamans to prevent humanity falling to the ravages of Chaos. He exists to love us and us to love him. The guy is a saviour who has been around for millennia.
>>
>>43553509
But why should such an elevated and coldly logical being feel any real connection to humans?
>>
>>43553121
Remember Khorne is good shit in extreme. All the Chaos gods are.

Emps can do Honor, can do Bravery, can even do Survival of the fittest.

He could totally Take the good bits of Corn.

I would think the Emps would probably fuck Mars up since the Admech is fucking retarded.
>>
>>43553782
Not that anon, but

The Emperor loves humanity because he can see us for what we are and can be. He loves us out of relation - he is the result of a design to protect humanity. He is godlike in power, but he is also a human being. Not only can he see us for all we are, but what we're capable of and that's worth defending. He also knows of the terrible threat humanity faces from every single corner and he knows he can help us and protect us.

There is some distance between us and the Emperor, but he is our biological imperative to survive and thrive made manifest as a thinking being and a being who loves his charges. He could have been an oppressive tyrant from day one, but he wasn't, because he loved us and knew we needed he help.

I would imagin Abaddon and the 'now actually God' God - Emperor would have a might duel in orbit over Cadia. The kind of duel where its so violent that entire planets and stars are destroyed in the process, and at the end The Emperor crushes Abaddons soul so hard the Gods of Chaos all go 'OH SHIT'
>>
>>43553551
What gave you the impression that the Emperor feels any great compassion for humans? He certainly never displayed much empathy or connection with his own sons.
Obviously the Emperor wanted humans to rule the galaxy, and he preferred humans to any other form of life, but why couldn't have that been an entirely pragmatic and 'coldly logical' decision?

>>43554386
Actually the Emperor and Horus had a pretty violent duel where Horus kicked his ass

One, the Emperor didn't want to believe how far his son had fallen, and was holding back hoping to take him alive. From what I have read Horus broke the Emperors eye out of socket, gave him a back breaker, dislocated his shoulder, and of corse unleashed all sorts of horrible Chaos powers unto him mentally

Two, the Emperor was mentally drained from having to hold shut the jaws of the Warp on Terra (thanks for that Magnus) and of course keep the Astronomicon lit.

It was only when Ollanius Pius stepped in did the Emperor use the last of his power to more or less crush Horus out of existence, after which he fell into a coma, and only awoke for a very brief time thanks to the small amount of energy given to him by Malcador before he turned to dust from powering the Astronomicon and holding the jaws of the Warp shut on Terra .

So, no, the Emperor was far from his best when he faced down Horus

Also, if the Emperor were a literally God when fighting Abaddon, I am certain that all of the Gods would pour as much power into Adaddon as they could to stop the Emperor before he could un-fuck everything they had done in the last 10,000 years
>>
>>43554563
Yeah but if the chaos gods gave Abaddon a fuck ton of power he still wouldn't be as stronk as Horus was. Horus was a fucking primarch and Abaddon is still only a Marine.
>>
>>43552032
If Emps is smart and read up on intelligence reports, he'd see pretty quick that calming down the eastern fringe via some fast and dirty diplomacy would settle the region, and allow him to divert forces to more important zones with little cause for worry.

The Tau are at least willing to talk, and that makes them easier to deal with. It wouldn't be the Emperor's first thing, but it'd at least be on the to-do list somewhere.
>>
>>43554563
>It was only when Ollanius Pius
No. Not until they retcon that fight a third time at least.

Pius was never present during the duel on the vengeful spirit.
>>

Also it the legend about the HH, the Emperor couldn't harm Horus without the chink Sangy left on Horus's armor

Abaddon is as close to being a Primarch as one can get.
I cant remember if he is a clone of Horus, or just his protege. Either way, the two are about as close to being the same person as one can get, both being able to command the Forces of Chaos.

Dude, Abaddon has personally defeated four daemon primarchs in single combat to force them all to serve him, he's a huge badass that makes primarchs look like pussies.

Look mate, even in the most current, revised-for-the-HH-series version of the duel, it's a custodes who steps in.

Oll'Crowbar-some-more-historical-earth-references-in Persson misses what's cool about the original Pius myth by a fucking mile, to boot.

I know no one is good in the setting, but why do humans hate the very thought of xenos? Surely, in the vast galaxy, there might be a few races that'd help the Imperium of Man.

>>43554740
The rampant xenophobia is derived from that incompatibility of humanity and the other dominant alien races in the galaxy.

It isn't that we don't get along, it's that we CAN'T get along. Interactions with the other major races in the galaxy have left humanity bitter and paranoid. Even if the Imperium did encounter a race of aliens that they could get along with, they likely wouldn't take that chance.

All I'm seeing is Abaddon got the blessing of the demon primarchs in exchange for various services and gifts. Nothing about him beating them.

You missed a bit:

The Imperial Civil War
With the awakening of the emperor comes a schism within the imperium between those who see him as the true emperor and those who take him to be an imposter.

The Ecclesiarchy, fully aware that the emperor never claimed he was a god and hated religion, knowing they will be stripped of the power and influence they currently hold, declare him a trick of chaos, a demon disguised as him and an imposter that must be slain. A call goes out to the faithful to deny his right to rule the imperium and oppose him, demanding they continue to worship the "true emperor" whom chaos has hidden from them but nonetheless is still the god of humanity.

Whole worlds, regiments and chapters are divided, some clinging to the old order and faith, others embracing the new. The Empire is once again on the verge of collapse.

>>43555158
You'd be right if it were not for the brightening of the Astronomicon being a sign that the Emperor is very much active and those in the leader ship of the Ecclesiarchy who are actually faithful. Seeing as how most of its leadership is on Terra, or close to it, The Emperor could order the have the Adeptus Custodes PURGE anyone who defies him, and since the only means of galactic communication is Astropaths, who are bound to the Emperor, they would all know that he is the one true Emperor returned, because all he has to do is send the message 'I AM YOUR EMPEROR. AND YOU SHALL SUBMIT'
So, while all the unfaithful scramble to organize against him, while being murdered AND having no means of communication, since all the Astorpaths would refuse to defy the Emperor out of loyalty and fear The Emperor has already won. Without the heretical leader ship to lead the mindless masses against him, he is set to retake his place as master of Mankind.

Why are so many utterly obsessed with this idea that the religion set up to venerate the Emperor would turn traitor the moment their lord and saviour showed up?
It's like thinking that Christianity would turn against Jesus the moment he showed back up. If he ever does

Further more, their Chamber Militant, the Adepta Sororitas WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO!

Which, by the way, leads me to-
>>43551279
The Emperor gave them the OK, the Custodes gave them the OK, Defended them against the Imperium wanting them disbabded and are friends with them.
Let me just repeat, the Emperor himself, in his semi-dead state, gave them the OK.

Regardless, the Ecclesiarchy didn't come into existence till M33, Three Thousand Years since Big E sat down.
That's a long time to expect people to uphold wishes that they refused to even follow when he was alive.
>>
>>43557381
>disbabded
Disbanded. What the fuck was that autocorrect?
>>
>>43557381
Look at it this way.

The Emperor was borderline autistic and for some reason he focused a huge portion of his sperg rage at religion.

His attitude towards people doing shit he don't like is to shout "Stop it" at increasing volume and refusing to answer any questions on the subject or volunteer further information as to why Stop it.

You have quadrillions of the fanatically faithful in a state of hurt confusion and an unsympathetic and, lets be honest here, assholeish fedora tipping god.

Shit isn't going to end well.

You have those who see him as a god but one that doesn't like religion and they will fight to extinguish religion in the name of their god.

Those who see him as a god who has betrayed them and they are wide open to finding other, truer gods who will accept them.

Those who believe he is not their god because their god loves and protects them and doesn't drop rocks on them for their devotion to him.

and then you have the Mechanicus.

One bunch who see the Emperor and Omnissiah as two names for one entity divided between those who accept this guy as him or an imposter

Those who see this as a sign that the Emperor and Machine-God were never one and the same and that old Terran warlord can go suck a dick now. Time to stop paying lip service to foreign barbarians at long last.

And the Dark Mechanicus, Innovators, Dragonites and Courtswainians all seeing this as their best chance to seize power.

Meanwhile all the Emperor can do is jump up and down yelling "STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT!!" and hitting things with is power-rattle.

Emperor had no leadership abilities beyond Brain Rape and I'm Bigger Than You.

You can run a single world like that, maybe even a few systems if you are willing to do a lot of traveling.

Beyond that you better learn to administrate fast and actually lead by something other than intimidation because Rebellions, Rebellions Everywhere.

And this time he doesn't have the devoted loyalty and competance Malcador to prop his regime up.

Emperor returning would destroy the Imperium.

>It's like thinking that Christianity would turn against Jesus the moment he showed back up
Yes, and it's called the fucking Antichrist.

The in-setting stance held by the people who spend literally all of their lives thinking about scenarios like this is that any (assumed) revival of the Emperor will see the imperium tear itself apart as everyone decides whether to support this new savior as the actual master of mankind, or decry him as a false prophet out to ruin them all.

DUDE STAR TREK MODERN RACIAL EGALITARIANISM MORALITY LMAO

See, in my mind, the Emperor has seen everything that has happened in the last thousand years, and upon his rebirth, it all weighs down on him.

Thousands of souls every day just to keep him alive.
Millions every hour just to buy another day for the Imperium.
Trillions lost to the maw of chaos.

He saw how he failed, how his methods didn't work. Unable to do anything but reflect for the last 10k years can really lead to some enlightenment, especially when you're forced to watch your beloved species turn on itself and become the very monster you fought against.

When he is reborn, he is not flaming with rage. His passion is calm, careful. He finds himself more human for his failings, and wants to better himself for it.

A caring Emperor, filled with a subtle, raging passion that is guided by his love for his kind, and a humbled opinion of himself, having had to speak with every single soul that has joined the astronomicon.
>>
>>43560097
Assuming he has any capability at all for introspection. From what we have seen in the HH series all he has probably been doing for the last ten millennium is stamping his spectral feet and internally screaming about how everything is everyone but his fault. I have no mount but no must whine.
