Warhammer Inquisitor

This article is to explain where the differences between the Emperor and Vito are in the Emperor's "Wait for my resurrection" plan so far. I believe some readers may not understand it. In the absence of space, explain it here.

First of all, it is about the difference between the positioning of Emperor and Vito. Have you noticed a word used repeatedly in the article? "Guardian of mankind" or "Guardian of mankind" and "Protector of civilization" in the emperor's text seem to be not very different, right? But actually there is a big difference.

The biggest difference is that the emperor wants to "continue" human civilization, not the tens of thousands of individuals in this civilization at all. What he wants to do is to continue human beings as a civilization and an existence, and to continue the concept of human beings Rather than all individuals in this collective, this is the contradiction between civilization and people mentioned in philosophy.

In human terms, to the emperor, he is like a player of Paradise, playing a game, in which his camp is human beings, what he has to do is to let his camp continue to fight, then He would only consider this question when he clicked on various options, and he didn't care about all the people in it. Even if everyone on the chessboard was deleted, it would be fine to recreate humans. After all, "human beings" still exist as civilizations.

So this is the point of contradiction. The Emperor's resurrection and anti-killing plan finally fell to the ground and waited for him to be resurrected. If the emperor ascends, will he kill all human beings like Slaanesh and become the evil god of the sixth heaven.

Or the simplest, God knows when the emperor will be resurrected, a week? a month? One year or one hundred years? Whether there are still living people in the empire after his resurrection is a problem, but the emperor actually doesn't care, because he doesn't care whether there are still human beings alive in this "universe". After the Alien and Chaos died, cloning technology was used to create a new generation of human beings, a generation of new human beings who had no memory of the past empire and did not know what happened in the past to continue civilization.

So for the emperor, his purpose is now so crazy, in other words he can blow up the entire galaxy, kill all the life in the galaxy just like the forerunner in the halo, restart the galaxy, and start the life cycle all over again Yes, because what he wants to continue is civilization, not a society composed of people.

This is the point of contradiction between him and Vito. As the guardian of human beings, Vito’s experience has led Vito to protect the society of the empire, or the human beings who are still alive. For Vito These people are human civilization.

Every collective is composed of countless individuals. If the individual is gone, the collective will disappear, and the "new humans" created by the Emperor are those who have no memory of the past humans, or even know the past. Whether a generation of human beings is considered as the descendants of the current human beings in the empire is a question. After all, it was cloned by artificial humans like Krieger, and besides, they don't remember the current human beings.

So for Vito, the Emperor's plan is completely unacceptable. His behavior of simply restarting the game is what Vito hates the most. He is purely treating the whole world and the universe as a game, playing with the four gods Therefore, Vito has always hated the concept of "great game" in the text, and the part where he got mad with Tzeentch is also the reason.

I don't know if you have discovered it? From the past to the present, Vito text will only get angry because of two "people", Tzeentch and the Emperor. In a sense, these two are quite similar on this issue. Tzeentch also doesn't care about believers at all, only cares about the last "" The kind of god who wants to continue the "conspiracy", the rest of Slaanesh, Khorne and Nurgle will care about the believers to some extent, and Tzeentch is the kind who doesn't care at all.

For Vito, if we are all dead now, if everyone dies, the "beautiful future" created by the emperor will be meaningless to human beings now, and no one will be happy because of the greatness after death, Because you are already dead, everything after that has nothing to do with you, besides, this is 40K, even if you die, you may not be able to die well.

What he wants to protect is the people he cares about, loves and becomes friends with. What Vito loves is the human society. Pay attention to the difference. It is society rather than civilization. Society is made up of people in it, while civilization is different. Civilization is a cultural concept, ideology, what the emperor wants is Vito to give up everyone, give up Cole, give up Celestine, Lilith (well, well, I know she may not count) and Bell, Ragnar them, let them die in order to continue human civilization.

In other words, give up Vito's humanity as a "man" and become a real god like him.

(That's why Vito called the Emperor a philosophic geek who likes to talk about philosophy. His concept has always been such a broad thing, a typical philosopher's way of thinking.)

So here lies the difference between Vito and the Emperor. One is to protect the people around him, and the other is to continue human civilization and let the current people die. As long as human civilization can be reborn in the new world, it will be fine. .

Although the Emperor seems to have made it clear that in this new world he will invite Vito to create new humans together, the possible positioning is that the Emperor is the God of Creation, and Vito is the God of War, and the Emperor will teach the new humans Civilization and development, society, etc., and Vito came to teach the new humans how to protect themselves, create armies and force, etc. Simply put, they are the gods of civilization similar to the Eldar, although there are only these two here.

(By the way, would it be better if Vito was a woman? You see, the God-Emperor and Queen, isn't it a good fit? No, no, Mr. Inquisitor, I mean, BOMM! Heresy!)

But obviously, Vito’s reaction to the emperor’s method is as in the text, “You are the most bastard bastard ever born in human history.” (Are you interested in learning about Erebus? He will let you I think everyone is like a white lotus)

This is where the current differences between the Emperor and Vito lie. Do you understand? In fact, there is no standard answer to this question, and there is no right or wrong. Whether to sacrifice all individuals to continue civilization, or resolutely defend the living people now, but who is willing to be those "majority victims"? Or, would you like to?

The answer to this question can be explained in any way, but in fact there is no solution. This is also the biggest problem that has troubled the protagonist for so many years. He knows that human beings have been bleeding slowly, but although this universe is cruel, at least people are still alive, and the Emperor's Although that set can be reversed, everyone will die.

Who is more reasonable depends on everyone's position. Again, there is no right or wrong, and everyone is welcome to actively discuss this.
