Warp Essence!

Good question!

He absolutely wasn't mocking them, Alvin thought that from the bottom of his heart. But—how was he supposed to explain it?

Should he just tell the two Primarchs that their adoptive father had evolved into a "Yellow Skin" and had even deliberately asked Alvin to "grant him a title" the last time they met?

No.

He couldn't say that.

It wasn't that Alvin was afraid of getting beaten up. He thought he had a pretty good relationship with these two Primarchs. Even if he really did say something so "blasphemous," he'd probably just get a beating, not be dragged before the Inquisition.

What he was truly worried about was these two!

Why?

Simple. The Dark Angels, Ultramarines, and Blood Angels all had a real black mark in their history: they had once established the "Second Empire"!

If the two of them learned that the "Emperor" was now more divine than human, they might very well start secretly plotting over what they had done with the "Second Empire."

Alvin saw the situation clearly.

Even if the "Emperor" really was more divine than human now, and was close to losing control, the Imperium of Man still couldn't afford to lose him.

Otherwise, the existing order of humanity would collapse even faster. The Second Empire alone couldn't save it.

But from another perspective, the Emperor's current state meant they needed a contingency plan in advance, just in case.

Alvin couldn't provide that plan.

He wasn't powerful enough to influence the "Emperor," and it was even less likely that he could interfere in the Imperium of Man's highest-level decisions. The only two people with any hope of preventing the Emperor's apotheosis in advance were the Lion King and Guilliman.

So.

Silence was the only right answer. Seeing Alvin remain silent, without saying
