POV: Primarch Jaghatai Khan
Perspective Matters in the Immaterium. It can change everything. Glop Vision changes the chaos of the Immaterial and that matters, heavily matters. Originally I had viewed the chaos as space, something that was hard to traverse, with random pathways we know as the web ways… but with Glop Vision? It's an ever-expanding world. You can walk from one area to the next with no problem at all. It was a massive game changer as it was nearly impossible for the Daemons to sneak attack, or hide. Because they didn't perceive the world the same way the Glops did. Perception changed how you traveled the chaos as well. There were areas that were unreachable in my original perception, yet now only a step away now.
It was fascinating, and given to me by these little green guys… "Whose my adorable murder slime! You, yes you are my adorable little murder slime!" I watch the small Glop jump in happiness. The behavioral difference between the 'prime' Glop and the younger Glops are massive. Where the 'prime' Glop does a large amount of thinking and work, the younger ones just know how to fight. These ones were apparently one of the Lamenter Legions Glop. They were going to be swapped out for Salamander Glops, but I convinced them to let me keep this squad.
While we are traveling I put my Glop Legion through training. Harsh Training. The Glops take to it like water, apparently, physical training does actually help them. They actually get physically stronger and they take to the mentality of the one training them quickly. The physical characteristics also change depending on who trains them. The Slimes following me were starting to turn whiter and started to grow horns. Attempting to replicate the appearance of my legion the White Scars. With a few differences.
Regardless, we are slowly approaching the Eye of Terror. Which looks like a massive hill through Glop Vision. It was covered in chaotic castles and mazes. The good thing was that I was targeting a tower that practically screamed NERD to the top of its lungs. If I look closely I can see the bookworm pouring over books through the window. A bit more bloody than usual, but still nerdy. So my brother hasn't changed too much. But with his soul taken by the Chaos, we will have to restrain him.
I glanced back at the army of Glops following me. They were constantly changing, trying to improve themselves constantly. Trying to follow my example. To become stronger, and more respectable. The Salamander Glops took the lead, melting down any Daemons that got in the way. The Glops that were instructed to follow me and learn from it? Hated it. I could tell, with Glop's vision you can feel the jealousy focused on the Salamander Glops. I focused on the Glop that bounded next to me. A link to the Prime Glop. "Glop, why are you so interested in helping humanity?"
The Glop shuddered for a second, as I felt the presence of the Prime Glop manifest. "Why? Hm, probably cause of a similar reason to the Emperor."
"That would be."
He shrugged. "Potential. Not all humans are terrible, and not all humans are good. They are each individually different. But when they try, they can do amazing things. For example, something everyone likes to forget, humanity was getting to the point where we could rival the Eldar Empire at its peak. That is insane, considering the Eldar were created by godlike beings to help fight an eternal war. The Eldar started with everything and had the ability to change reality itself, yet Humanity was going to match it."
I decided to point out something I noticed. "Despite all the bad you say about the Eldar… you don't seem to hate them?"
He shrugged. "The main thing I dislike about the Eldar aside from arrogance is their Farseerers."
"I sense there is a bigger reason than them seeing the future?"
He burst out, "THEY DON'T!" He said it with such force and certainty the ground almost cracked with his presence.
But… "What do you mean?"
"They don't actually see the future! They guess it! They are seeing the damned past! You don't see the future through the warp, the warp collects emotional information and historical events. You can use that information to predict the future. But you can't actually see the future. What's more, this information can be twisted by the entities of the warp. What an Eldar Farseer does is take a massive amount of information that their mind can't handle, and the mind filters that into a dream, which they call visions. It doesn't tell them the future, it just shows them possible events!" He spoke with vigor and certainty.
"You speak from experience?" I said, reading between the lines.
"I pour over information from the past constantly Primarch Khan. I've seen what the Eldar have seen. I've done the same Farseeing thing they do, with far greater accuracy. It does not work the way they think. They see a possibility and overreact massively. It's not entirely accurate when you don't have enough information as well. They never actually saw the creation of the Daemon God of Lust. They saw the possibility of them having to respect what they saw as a lower race and threw a hissy fit. Normal Eldar is fine in my eyes. But these Farseers? I'd execute them in a heartbeat."
"But I have heard of Farseers that have done well?" I asked, confused.
He focused on me. "When a Farseer has done well, has it ever positively benefited everyone else? Has it ever truly hurt the Chaos Gods?"
I grew silent. "No… it hasn't. Delayed them sometimes, but never truly doing lasting damage."
"There is my point. What is the point of interfering when you already know what they will do is pointless overall? That is the problem with Farseers. Chaos can predict them, manipulate them, and change them with ease. They rely on the Immaterium for their visions, and the Chaos can manipulate the Immaterium. That is why I dislike the Farseers so much." Glop replied his righteous anger was starting to melt the ground behind us… then he calmed down. Releasing a sigh, he spoke again.
"Regardless, even knowing that you can't do much against Farseer shenanigans. They get a full read on you through the immaterial. They can predict your every move depending on how good they are at it, and can legitimately force you to follow the timeline they predicted. It's near impossible to truly counter it beyond erasing your presence in the Immaterial Realm. But no one knows if that is even possible. If it was the Imperium might not have ever formed with the leadership of the Federation being completely unpredictable. Hmm? I got to go focus on the frontline Primarch Khan… this was a good talk."
Then he left, huh, it was more like he talked and I listened. Still, I got a lot of important information out of the Glop this time.
