      Tzeentch has been challenged before on his own turf. Yssarile the deamon king actually presented himself as a threat and was almost equal to Tzeentch to match him for a billion Warp years before Tzeentch shattered his Warp staff. So even Tzeentch in his prime has a limitation that can be overcome.

      Not really, because it wouldn't be a living thing tied to the materium. Warp gods don't count, and if we _are_ counting them, Tzeentch almost certainly wins. Big E perhaps is equal or greater, but the Dark King would only be a fraction of his power

    I always liked the retconned story of Malice/Malal as the 5 th chaos god, but I like this new idea as well. To me this is describing what Malal was supposed to be, a pure chaos god who was about destruction to the point that it will destroy itself eventually. My head cannon is Malal was a powerful opponent to the other Gods. so when the Emperor communed with them on Molich, apart of the bargain was he had to destroy/weaken Malal. I do like the idea that the Dark King is like humanity’s Slaanesh, and as others have pointed out could be a reason the Emperor didn’t want to be worshipped as this was a possibility.

      Nope, the Chaos God of Control will be the Tau one. Their Ethereals basically lobotomize their followers for ultimate control for "the greater good" so the Tau are the ones with the insatiable thirst for control. The Tyranids will probably wind up making the one of gluttony/hunger. And my head canon has the Eldar God (not Slaanesh) as the eighth one to fill out the eight pointed star of Chaos.
      Humanity's is just going to be destruction, ruin and cataclysm.

    In Immortal Hulk, it's shown that the One Above All has two faces. The One Below All is its destructive side. It is the essence of unmaking and annihilation. It has only dark desires and impulses with no true mind. It acts as the One Above All's own version of a hulk.
    All positive and negative emotions go to the chaos gods. But what would happen if people started to believe that the chaos gods had another face? Another side? Believing in or rather using belief against the chaos gods might be the only way to truly thwart them. Forcing into them different persona's to embody different aspects and essentially fracturing them while they technically remain whole.

    The Dark King will never rise, it is a shade of what will never be and could only exist when the Emperor was not mentally prepared for it in the 30k era. It is ironic that the machinations of the Chaos Gods ensured the very creation of the Anathema they sought to prevent by the 40k period.

    It does make sense the chaos god of humanity would be a god of ruin, given how sad humanity has screwed itself over, from the Dark age of technology, to the age of strife, to the imperium of man, to the Horus heresy. That path can only be described as "ruin".

      Hmm , i dont see it like that.
      If you would split human history to 3 "epochs" , the words best used to describe them would be , progress = dark age of technology, strife = age of strife and stagnation = imperium (reclamation for the crusade , but that didnt last long). Overall one word to best describe them all would imo be survival. And a chaos god of survival might be quite interesting and could actually finally represent chaos as it should be, a force capable of good but also evil. But for the sake of grimdark we get khorne 2.0
