Sith did not react immediately.
It was only after quickly digesting the meaning of the God-Emperor's words that he suddenly looked toward the Golden Throne.
The God-Emperor remained withered and rigid, but the fatigue that had been pressing down on Sith's shoulders, making him unable to help but hunch over, had vanished.
The brilliant divine light on the Golden Throne also began to shine continuously; not only did it illuminate the surrounding dark void, but the faint, shrill wailing also vanished without a trace.
And then...
Sith, whose body had been nourished by the God-Emperor for a long time, suddenly widened his eyes!
Endless divine power, with almost no loss or interference, was bestowed upon Sith in its purest state.
A hundredfold amplification, a hundredfold psychic power, and divine nourishment.
With such foundations, what the God-Emperor gave was no longer a blessing, but in the true sense, the divine power that had pressed upon him for ten thousand years was shifted from his own shoulders to Sith's.
Then, accompanied by the God-Emperor's extremely relieved sigh, Sith's physical body immediately began to crack and disintegrate!
The divine power that was merely exhausting torture for the God-Emperor, once it reached Sith, was constantly trying to take his life.
"One day, just one day."
"Let me catch my breath, and you can experience what it feels like to be a god."
The God-Emperor even became more talkative at this moment, while Sith, with eyes wide and filled only with golden lightning, gritted his teeth to hold on while desperately mobilizing divine power to repair his damaged body.
Yet the more he mobilized it, the faster his body broke down. At this rate, Sith could indeed only maintain this for one day at most.
"Yellow Skin, you calculated the time quite accurately!"
Under the endless torture and excruciating pain, Sith's body hunched over in discomfort, and in his anxiety, he gritted his teeth and blurted out a 'nickname'.
But at this moment, the God-Emperor, who had finally gotten a day off, would no longer care about a small 'joke' from his most considerate junior?
Guilliman? Lion ElJonson?
Could those two things messing with the Second Imperium let him take a day off every once in a while?!
The God-Emperor remained silent and did not reply. It was not until Sith managed to barely control the divine power that he gritted his teeth, shot a speechless glance at the God-Emperor above, and turned to walk out the door.
Before turning, Sith, with a livid face and gritting his teeth against the intense pain, said:
"One day!"
"One day to take down the Tyranids!"
Sith said this while walking toward the gate, but the excruciating physical pain meant that even taking a step caused additional damage.
After taking a step, Sith watched his right leg disintegrate instantly upon landing; he had no choice but to mobilize divine power to repair it while taking a deep breath and letting his body fly into mid-air.
Without even pushing the door, as Sith flew to the gate, the door in front of him automatically opened to both sides.
Only after leaving the front of the Golden Throne did the God-Emperor finally have the courage to admonish Sith one more time.
"Although I don't know what an ancient artifact is, or what it's for."
"But at least when Abaddon arrives at Terra, what he will see is you in your divine form."
It was somewhat of a consolation.
Unable to go up and slap the God-Emperor twice, Sith could only curl his lips while thinking about the approaching Abaddon, amidst the torture of his body constantly breaking down and reforming.
The gate closed again.
The originally dark and towering hall was instantly illuminated as if it were daylight after Sith emerged.
Sith opened his eyes, which were filled only with golden lightning, and scanned the area, discovering that the Lorgar Aurelian who had been waiting bitterly was completely dumbfounded, his knees directly hitting the ground.
"God... God-Emperor?!"
How could Lorgar Aurelian know that the God-Emperor had finally found an existence to whom he could offload the divine power on his shoulders without needing to possess them.
He thought that this must be the God-Emperor possessing Sith, having finally left the Golden Throne!
At the thought of the God-Emperor finally standing up from the toilet, even Lorgar Aurelian could not care about any decorum.
Kneeling on both knees was not out of respect; it was because he was scared shitless!
Sith, hearing the words 'God-Emperor', shot a displeased glare at Lorgar Aurelian.
"It's me!"
"The Yellow Skin is on vacation today!"
Lorgar Aurelian's face, already stunned enough, instantly tensed up to the extreme.
Then, not knowing if his brain had short-circuited or if he just couldn't process it, he subconsciously looked at Sith.
"You are the God-Emperor?!"
Sith was even more annoyed upon hearing this. He glanced at Lorgar Aurelian, then drove his divine power to fly toward the outside of the palace, while grabbing Lorgar Aurelian as he passed by.
It was not until they were flying in mid-air that Lorgar Aurelian reacted, realizing that Sith was still Sith, just that he had obtained the God-Emperor's full power on Terra.
But then, Lorgar Aurelian suddenly remembered another word in Sith's sentence.
'Yellow Skin'?!!!
Lorgar Aurelian stared blankly at Sith, who was looking displeased above him. Although he didn't know what a 'Yellow Skin' was, seeing Sith gritting his teeth, and the God-Emperor behind them hurriedly closing the door, fearing to face Sith, Lorgar Aurelian also knew that this 'God-Emperor' before him had used a not-so-respectful or friendly 'nickname' to refer to the Emperor.
Of course, if it were just that, it would be fine; after all, with such power, complaining a couple of times was nothing.
But looking at the Emperor's reaction behind them, it really seemed like he had a guilty conscience!
After the Emperor offloaded the divine power, he was actually 'anthropomorphized' at this moment!
And Sith, possessing endless divine power, as his flesh constantly disintegrated and repaired, his expression became increasingly indifferent and violent!
Lorgar Aurelian saw this clearly and stared blankly, lowering his head with a dazed look.
For some reason, a path to human godhood that he had never imagined flashed across his mind like lightning.
Sith at this moment could not be bothered to consider Lorgar Aurelian's inexplicable thoughts.
He just wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, to end this painful torture.
So when Sith flew out of the palace at an extremely fast speed, the Tyranid Swarm, which had been aggressively besieging humanity, as well as all the humans, instantly looked toward that golden sun rising rapidly in the dark night.
First the Battle Sisters, then the Ecclesiarchy Priest, and finally a large number of Astartes and Imperial Guardsman.
Upon seeing this sun, these Imperial loyalists instantly all knelt on the ground, praying fervently to Sith in extreme excitement.
A large amount of fanatical faith power was transmitted to the God-Emperor, and then the God-Emperor threw it all to Sith without hesitation.
Feeling the torture increase another notch, Sith could only grit his teeth, speechless:
"Stop fucking praying!"
"I am not a god!"
Sith gritted his teeth and spoke. The Ecclesiarchy Priest and Battle Sisters below were stunned, but then, hearing these familiar lines, the Ecclesiarchy Priest nodded frantically in agreement while worshipping even more fanatically.
"Yes, yes, yes, you are not a god!"
Sith watched the priest who had even started setting up an incense altar, and he was so angry that he almost fell from the sky.
Then, what made Sith even more desperate was that his own Word Bearers, who had originally been hesitant and simply shocked, actually, upon discovering that it was not the False Emperor ascending, but Sith...
Their speed in kneeling and worshipping was even faster than the fucking Ecclesiarchy!
Especially that group of Word Bearers who loved faith; they stared blankly at Sith, who was truly ascending to godhood. After a brief silence, their eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins!
Then a group of Word Bearers all transformed into Sith missionaries, holding high the freshly minted Sith Bible, frantically spreading the doctrine to all existences around them.
Yes, all existences.
Including the Tyranid War Beasts, who stood dazed on the spot, looking at Sith in the distance for a moment, then at the Word Bearers in front of them, their eyes filled with 'is this right?'.
Wait... do I, the Tyranids, also have to believe in a religion?!
