You're not wrong. Khorne should be BloodForTheME or BURNMAIMKILL, depending on how comic you want to go
//The Chaos gods' usernames were lifted from the warpchat segments of TTS (which also serves as the inspiration for how the 40k deities are depicted in this). Which is why Khorne's username is as it is.
//Anyway, apologies for the delay. Momentum sorta stalled while writing this chapter but I was able to get past it thanks to my beta reader. So without further ado, here's the next installment of this abomination:

{Welcome to the chat! You are viewing [General]}
…
MasterOfPlans: That being said...
MasterOfPlans: #ManEmperor Anathema.
BugInTheSystem has entered the chat.
BugInTheSystem: Hey.
PrettyInPink: Hi Taylor!
PrettyInPink: Doing more testing today?
BugInTheSystem: Yeah. Need to take more notes on what kind of powers I have access to.
ManEmperor: #MasterOfPlans What do you want?
BugInTheSystem: A part of me wishes I can just start being a hero now.
BugInTheSystem: But I'd need time to get a costume. Not to mention a cape name.
BugInTheSystem: So in the meantime I might as well get some more data.
MasterOfPlans: Are we still on for Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth-Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker tomorrow?
PrettyInPink: Ah, I see.
MegaUltraChicken has entered the chat.
MegaUltraChicken: Every time you call it by that name, a baby Kuriboh dies.
MegaUltraChicken: Please stop.
MegaUltraChicken has disconnected.
ManEmperor: Of course I am.
BugInTheSystem: …….
MasterOfPlans: Ah, splendid~
MasterOfPlans: In that case, would it be too much trouble to say…
MasterOfPlans: Up the ante?
ManEmperor: ?
BugInTheSystem: I'm afraid to ask.
BugInTheSystem: But what exactly is paradox billiards… something something strip poker?
MasterOfPlans: How about we make it so that whoever loses has to vote for the other the next time Taylor needs a power?
ManEmperor: I accept this challenge.
ManEmperor: Because you will most assuredly lose.
PrettyInPink: It's something they do sometimes I think?
MasterOfPlans: Will I? What even is losing anyway?
Grandpapa_Nurgz: #BugInTheSystem Some kind of children's card game.
Grandpapa_Nurgz: I never really saw the appeal.
420BlazeMy3601337Vagick: I watched them play once.
420BlazeMy3601337Vagick: I was thoroughly disappointed by the lack of stripping...
MasterOfPlans: #BugInTheSystem That's because Nurgle here is an UNCULTURED SWINE who does not know how to appreciate art!
BugInTheSystem: ...Gods play children's card games?
BugInTheSystem: what
PuddingHeroine: I mean we sometimes play video games in my world.
PuddingHeroine: I guess some pantheons have to entertain themselves somehow.
MasterOfPlans: By the way, #Grandpapa_Nurgz have you checked your doorstep recently?
Grandpapa_Nurgz: ...no?
MasterOfPlans: Well maybe you perhaps kinda sorta probably definitely certainly should…?
Grandpapa_Nurgz: er...
Grandpapa_Nurgz: ...okay?
Grandpapa_Nurgz has disconnected.
BugInTheSystem: what was that about?
MasterOfPlans: Wait for it.
MasterOfPlans: Also #ManEmperor, Deceiver's bringing the snacks again.
ManEmperor: Oh.
ManEmperor: #TrustworthyFellow you had better bring the right fucking ones this time!
TrustworthyFellow has entered the chat.
TrustworthyFellow: Oh, of course.
MasterOfPlans: 3…
TrustworthyFellow: I will most certainly not let you down in any way, shape, or form.
MasterOfPlans: 2…
MasterOfPlans: 1…
MasterOfPlans: aaaaaaaaaand...
Grandpapa_Nurgz has entered the chat.
Grandpapa_Nurgz: #MasterOfPlans OH COME ON!
Grandpapa_Nurgz: WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE MY POOR GARDEN ALONE
Grandpapa_Nurgz: I JUST REPLANTED THOSE CORPSE FLOWERS
Grandpapa_Nurgz has disconnected.
MasterOfPlans: Ah, I love it when a plan comes together.
PrettyInPink: Tzeentch, that was mean!
MasterOfPlans: Eh, he's been through worse.
TrustworthyFellow: #BugInTheSystem So, you must be this "Taylor" I've heard about.
TrustworthyFellow: I must say I am VERY delighted to meet you.
TrustworthyFellow: You may refer to me as The Trustworthy
TrustworthyFellow: AKA The Reliable
TrustworthyFellow: AKA The Undeceiving
TrustworthyFellow: AKA The Very Nice Guy Who Wants to Be Friends With You
:)
BugInTheSystem: …..okay then?
WisdomCubed: Well that doesn't sound suspicious at all…
:/
ManEmperor: #BugInTheSystem he is known as The Deceiver.
ManEmperor: Yes, that name is literal.
ManEmperor: I would highly recommend not listening to him.
TrustworthyFellow: Oh, ruin my fun, why don't you?
TrustworthyFellow: #BugInTheSystem still, a pleasure to make your acquaintance regardless.
TrustworthyFellow: So anyway, it's been a while since I've been to {General}.
TrustworthyFellow: Any recent developments I should know about?
[MOD] YoggySoffles: Well, there was the whole thing about Taylor showing up and how her powers work.
[MOD] YoggySoffles: I'll give you the summary in DMs.
[MOD] YoggySoffles: Hmm… Maybe I should pin a message so we don't have to explain it to everyone who comes here…
[MOD] CrawlingChaos: I mean, we could also just let the rumor mill do the work for us.
[MOD] YoggySoffles: We could, but that would also mean relying on rumors…
[MOD] YoggySoffles: Anyway, #BugInTheSystem I assume more testing today?
BugInTheSystem: Yeah, just got to my testing spot.
[MOD] YoggySoffles: I see.
[MOD] YoggySoffles: Fire away then.
PowerCubed: #Here POWER TESTING LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO
PuddingHeroine: #GameGear quick! Get in here Nep Jr!
CourageCubed: Din, was the ping really necessary?
XxTimelessArsenalxX: No, it was not.
[MOD] YoggySoffles: #PowerCubed need I remind you about our policy regarding Here pings?
PowerCubed: oh shit
PowerCubed: sorry!
PrettyInPink: Homura-chan, be nice...
WisdomCubed: Din…
[MOD] YoggySoffles: It's fine, just try not to do it again.
RIPANDTEAR: WTF?
420BlazeMy3601337Vagick: About time.
420BlazeMy3601337Vagick: It was such an utter shame that I missed the first one.
[MOD] Cthulhu: Really...?
[MOD] CrawlingChaos: Whelp, Shub's not going to be happy.
[MOD] ProlificMother: …….
[MOD] ProlificMother: GFDI
PowerCubed has been kicked. (Reason: Wasting my time - Shub)
GameGear has entered the chat.
MasterOfPlans: Wow, I almost didn't see that coming.
GameGear: huh? What's going on?
PowerCubed has entered the chat.
PowerCubed: I said I was sorry!
PSP4Ever has entered the chat.
PuddingHeroine: #GameGear Taylor doing her thing again.
GameGear: Oh.
PSP4Ever: #PuddingHeroine Hey, what's the big idea!?
PSP4Ever: Nepgear and I were in the middle of something, you know...
PuddingHeroine: Oh hey Uni, glad you could join us!
PuddingHeroine: You know, that gives me an idea.
PuddingHeroine: #NotTsundere Oh Noire~!
PSP4Ever: Huh!? Why are you dragging my sister into this?
PSP4Ever: What's even going on, anyway?
[MOD] YoggySoffles: #PSP4Ever I'll DM you the summary.
PSP4Ever: The summary of what?
NotTsundere has entered the chat.
NotTsundere: #PuddingHeroine What is it?
PuddingHeroine: Scroll up! Taylor's about to do that thing I was talking about.
NotTsundere: And you felt it necessary to drag me into it?
PuddingHeroine: I'm just trying to socialize you.
NotTsundere: I don't need any socializing!
NotTsundere: I can do that perfectly fine on my own tyvm!
PuddingHeroine: Oh, really? Care to list how many friends you have, then?

UsefulWater: SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER ME!
ManEmperor: You are all making a mistake in voting for her.
ManEmperor: This is why I have more faith in humanity than I do for gods.
UsefulWater: Also wow lots of people are voting for me in… whatever this is…
UsefulWater: Am I finally getting respect and recognition?
TrustworthyFellow: #UsefulWater Oh, yes. Of course. Congratulations, Aqua.
UsefulWater: Wow, really!?
UsefulWater: It's about time!
[BOT] QueenAdministrator: Poll closed.
[BOT] QueenAdministrator: Congratulations: #UsefulWater. You get to HALP!
UsefulWater: ????????????????????????
UsefulWater: Help with what???????
PowerCubed: inb4 it does absolutely nothing.
[MOD] CrawlingChaos: #BugInTheSystem So… what did that do?
BugInTheSystem: I have no idea.
BugInTheSystem: I mean it feels like my power did SOMETHING at least.
BugInTheSystem: But I haven't seen any obvious effects yet.
UsefulWater: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT'S HAPPENING!?
PrettyInPink: #UsefulWater Basically Taylor is channeling a portion of your powers.
UsefulWater: ...Who's Taylor?
UsefulWater: also what?! Don't I get a say in who gets to use my power?
UsefulWater: She's not a member of the Axis Cult is she?
UsefulWater: Wait, since when are the other users here able to use each other's powers? How long has that been a thing!?
[MOD] YoggySoffles: #UsefulWater just check your DMs.
[MOD] YoggySoffles: ...
[MOD] YoggySoffles: I really should get around to making that pinned message…
MasterOfPlans: #UsefulWater I mean we voted on it, if you weren't here then that's a shame.
MasterOfPlans: As for your second question: Maybe, Maybe not. Time will tell.
MasterOfPlans: Or will it?
BugInTheSystem: So whatever power I have is telling me the water in the Boat Graveyard is dirty apparently…
BugInTheSystem: Okay, I have this instinctive feeling that I can purify it… and do other things with it?
BugInTheSystem: Oh, wow, now that I concentrate, it feels like I have some kind of large power reserve at my disposal that wasn't there before. Huh...
WisdomCubed: Nothing happened to your mind, did it?
BugInTheSystem: Um… no? Was something supposed to?
WisdomCubed: Oh, good.
BugInTheSystem: ?
UsefulWater: Okay I read the thingy and I think I understand now.
UsefulWater: #BugInTheSystem So, Taylor, was it? From what I understand you're channeling my power, correct?
BugInTheSystem: Yeah, I guess so.
BugInTheSystem: Who are you?
UsefulWater: !?
UsefulWater: WDYM who am I!?
UsefulWater: How can you call yourself my worshiper and not know who I am!?
WisdomCubed: Well, she's not your worshiper for one…
UsefulWater: Eh? But she's obviously calling on my power, so she has to be worshiping me in some capacity, right?
PowerCubed: I don't think she worships anyone here, Aqua.
WisdomCubed: ^
BugInTheSystem: You know that actually brings up a good point.
BugInTheSystem: You're all gods, right? Am I supposed to be worshiping you or anything?
[MOD] YoggySoffles: Not really. You're the first "normal person" to connect to here, so I'd say doing so is strictly voluntary.
[MOD] YoggySoffles: Besides, even if some of us depend on faith either to exist or to draw power from, faith from outside our local universes or multiversal clusters doesn't tend to reach them.
MasterOfPlans: Though if you do start a cult to one of us, then depending on how the laws of your universe operate it might allow an aspect of ourselves to manifest locally depending on how much belief they get.
MasterOfPlans: So if you want to go nuts with the worshiping, go ahead!
;)
ManEmperor: There is also the fact that some of us are not gods at all but godlike beings.
ManEmperor: I, for one, would prefer it if you didn't worship me at all.
UsefulWater: I don't understand what sane person would want to worship a corpse anyway…
ManEmperor: You would be surprised...
ManEmperor: I would also strongly advise against worshiping the Chaos Gods. They do not need equivalents in your universe.
BugInTheSystem: I see…
BugInTheSystem: Wait you're a corpse!?
ManEmperor: Technically.
UsefulWater: Speaking of…
UsefulWater: #BugInTheSystem You're not undead or a worshiper of undead or demons, are you?
BugInTheSystem: What? No. Of course not.
UsefulWater: Okay, then despite the fact that you're not actively worshiping me, I'm fine with you using my powers as an honorary member of the Axis Order.
UsefulWater: Unless you use it to help either of the above.
UsefulWater: Don't do that.
BugInTheSystem: I'll keep that in mind…
BugInTheSystem: Also wait what
BugInTheSystem: I'm suddenly a member of whatnow?
UsefulWater: Oh, don't worry. It's just a cult that all of my followers belong to. I'll be sure to DM you all the commandments, terms, and agreements.
BugInTheSystem: ?????
BugInTheSystem: ...Okay then?
BugInTheSystem: Back to the topic of worshiping, what if one of you guys is in my local universe or cluster of whatever?
BugInTheSystem: Actually are any of you from Earth Bet for that matter?
PrettyInPink: I don't think so? You might be the first person we've had from there.
PrettyInPink: Unless someone wants to make a claim?
WisdomCubed: I mean there are a few individuals here who haven't told us much about their home universes either because it was never brought up or they just chose not to speak about it other than the bare minimum.
WisdomCubed: We could ask them when they're online and give you an answer whenever they get back to us.
BugInTheSystem: Alright then.
BugInTheSystem: Anyway #UsefulWater got any tips about what your power does?
BugInTheSystem: Uh
BugInTheSystem: I still don't know your name by the way.
UsefulWater: It's Aqua. And with my power you should be able to purify and control water.
BugInTheSystem: Is that it?
UsefulWater: Of course not! You should also have powerful anti-undead magic at your disposal.
BugInTheSystem: That seems rather situational… I don't think there's anything that counts here in my universe. Outside of maybe some Bio-Tinker monstrosities.
UsefulWater: Well, you should also have access to my Arch-Priest abilities. Ideally. Like high level healing and resurrection.
BugInTheSystem: Huh, that's neat.
BugInTheSystem: No, that's actually amazing.
BugInTheSystem: Wait a minute
BugInTheSystem: did you say RESURRECTION!?!?
UsefulWater: Yep!
UsefulWater: Though there are some restrictions.
UsefulWater: Like how it needs to be someone who's died recently, the corpse can't be too damaged, yadda yadda yadda…
UsefulWater: Plus you'd need to have enough mana reserves to actually cast it.
BugInTheSystem: I'm guessing that must be the reservoir of power I feel right now…
UsefulWater: Yeah, that would be it.
BugInTheSystem: It seems like this power could be really valuable…
UsefulWater: Glad you think so!
CourageCubed: Wait for it.
UsefulWater: You know, speaking of mana, I noticed my own reserves shrank slightly a bit ago.
UsefulWater: Not sure what happened but the loss was minimal. Wasn't even enough to cast basic healing more than a couple of times before feeling exhausted.
CourageCubed: Aaaand there it is...
PowerCubed: lol
BugInTheSystem: Oh…
BugInTheSystem: Is there anything else you can do?
UsefulWater: Well I'm also a god of the arts and know a lot of neat tricks, maybe you can do those too?
BugInTheSystem: I don't think that would be much help for my career as a cape…
BugInTheSystem: Anyway I'll write down what you said in my notes before moving on to the next power.
420BlazeMy3601337Vagick: Hey everyone~
420BlazeMy3601337Vagick: Want to see something mesmerizing~?
BugInTheSystem: ?
WisdomCubed: Oh no...
PowerCubed: YOG QUICK BAN NOW
