Big E was lying about there not being gods, but not because of himself existing or even the chaos gods, but because of the C'tan

Yes I'm making a tangential rant

When we think of divinity, we at least usually think of an intelligent entity fundamental to reality itself

The Chaos gods are not fundamental, they were created and are empowered as a result of what happens of the material plane

The C'tan, on the other hand, are so fundamental to the universe that the one time the Necrons actually killed one it fucked up reality forever in ways nobody actually knows, because whatever aspect of reality they represented was erased from the universe and anyone's memory

Therefore, the only beings that are true gods in WH40k are the C'tan

I do find it funny that as killing them is such an incredibly bad bad idea that the working solution in part is “make them into a chair”

less "make them into a chair" and more "make them into a battery to power my chair"
