"So you mean they want to build a statue of me, no, *the* statue of me? They want to build a statue of me in every People's Square?"
"You mean they also want to pray at my statue every day?"
Zeke, who was happily playing, looked at the Department of Affairs official in front of him, who was holding official documents and asking him to make a decision, with a bewildered expression.
"Why are they building my statue? Are they going to worship me? Am I not still alive?"
"I'm still alive, what are they praying at my statue for when there's nothing wrong!"
"These people don't think I can be like the Emperor, giving them blessings or protection whenever there's trouble, do they?"
"Well, I certainly can, but I really don't have time to give them blessings and protection!"
Zeke completely failed to understand what these new Dominion citizens under him were thinking. They don't still want to pray every day, do they?
How terrifying are the days of daily prayer? Zeke's mind recalled the daily prayers and epic chants he had to perform within his knight house and he shook his head vigorously.
How could anyone be so perverse as to want to pray every day?
The Department of Affairs official also spoke with a helpless expression: "Who's to say it isn't so?
Emperor, we also tried to persuade them to abandon this idea, but in the end, it even escalated into a large-scale protest march."
"They directly jumped up and protested, and we had no way to resolve it, so we had to bring this matter to trouble you, and ask the Emperor to provide a solution. After all, if statues are to be built, building them in People's Square still requires the Emperor's authorization."
...Zeke was speechless. As someone who was troubled by daily prayers within the knight house, he simply couldn't understand why anyone would insist on praying every day.
Isn't this just asking for trouble when there's none? It's too terrifying, too terrifying!
And the most terrifying thing is that if they really prayed to him, some of those prayers would indeed reach his mind. Although he could allocate a portion of his psionic thoughts to deal with them directly, it would still be a hassle, wouldn't it?
Unreasonable, unreasonable. Zeke didn't really want them to pray. He was already tired enough; why would they pray when there was nothing wrong?
"No, absolutely not. In any case, I cannot let them pray. I do not allow this request to erect divine statues. I have been working for so many years, can't I rest?
These people still want to pull me back to work, don't even think about it!"
Zeke expressed his strong protest. He would never allow himself to be pulled back to work!
Even if it was only a psionic thought of his that needed to work, that psionic thought would eventually return to his brain, and then all memories of working would come back.
This life is truly too terrifying. No, no, absolutely not!
"But Emperor, the Department of the Interior can't refuse them anymore. They've already started protesting. We can't possibly deploy the army to forcibly escort them home, can we?"
"And our army has already been deployed, but it was useless.
Large numbers of mechanical legions have tried once to forcibly drive them home, but whenever our mechanical legions leave, they come back."
"To be honest, we have never seen Dominion citizens with such firm will and faith, they are simply insane, too terrifying!"
As he spoke, the Department of Affairs official shivered.
To be honest, although he had not governed in the Terran Dominion, he had received various experiences, memories, and abilities from his ancestors.
It was precisely because of these experiences, memories, and abilities that he possessed super strong governing capabilities, but among these experiences and abilities, there was not a single one that told him how to deal with these fanatical believers.
These fanatical believers were almost unheard of in the Terran Dominion; it was simply too terrifying.
Zeke was also speechless. He sat blankly in his seat. He didn't want to work!
After listening to the prayers of his followers, he would more or less have to solve some of their troubles, wouldn't he? Then wouldn't he have to go to work? Too tired, too tired.
Is this acceptable? This kind of life was not one he could live.
Zeke recalled his past life in his mind, the life of praying to the Emperor every day.
A less-than-ideal solution appeared in his mind.
For now, he didn't want to fall out with the Imperium of Man, but the Imperium of Man's madness was a memory in Zeke's mind, so he needed to do some superficial work.
Anyway, they want to worship the Emperor, and they didn't specify which Emperor to worship.
Isn't both he and Neoth the Emperor?
They didn't say they had to worship him; worshipping the Emperor was also acceptable.
This could just confuse the Imperium of Man and buy him time to continue developing steadily.
As a top noble of the Imperium of Man, Zeke didn't need to fall out with the Imperium of Man at all; instead, by leveraging the power of the Imperium of Man, he could develop faster.
What's more, the most important thing is that if he fell out with them, and then when the Emperor could speak personally after being pulled off the throne, wouldn't he still have to use war to oppress the entire Imperium of Man?
That's too much trouble. Anyway, what he gives to the Imperium now will eventually be his development, and the Imperium of Man is also helping him develop the Terran Dominion.
Zeke made up his mind. After instructing the Department of the Interior officials below to build statues of the Emperor, he immediately dispatched his consciousness body to appear in the Warp. The enormous psionic consciousness body walked within the Warp.
The four Chaos Gods, Gork and Mork, and other powerful Warp entities naturally sensed Zeke's arrival.
The first time this guy appeared, he and that this Emperor pinned Nurgle to the ground and beat him up. Who knows what he's here for this time?
Khorne in the Warp was somewhat excited; he thought Zeke must have come to fight him.
It was great to have a fight. He certainly could only passively take a beating against the Emperor and Zeke together, but against Zeke alone, he felt he could put up a fight.
Slaanesh still stared blankly at Zeke's almost perfectly exquisite face, still looking like an infatuated woman.
However, Zeke was too lazy to bother him. As long as this guy didn't come to him, he wouldn't waste Warp energy to beat him up.
As for Nurgle, after seeing Zeke appear, he quickly covered his head with both hands, fearing that this guy was here to beat him up again.
And Tzeentch glanced at Zeke's psionic entity and then muttered, "Everything is according to plan."
This somewhat annoyed Zeke. All day long, he just knew how to talk big here.
Therefore, on his way to find the Emperor, Zeke casually swung a sword at Tzeentch.
The massive psionic slash pierced straight through Tzeentch, who was completely unprepared.
Tzeentch: "I just talked big, and you hit me!?"
