the chaos gods would offcourse say that the emperor got his powers as a gift from them, they are lies made manifest. in the horus heresy books, you can allso read that horus pretty much earned his powers when he entered the portal on molech. because he toke part in the constant battle between the chaos gods known as the great game(that's how the chaos gods enjoy themselfs thru out eternity) he concoured deamons etc. and then returned with godlike powers. the chaos gods call this a gift maybe because it was a gift to them(it broke the eternal boring battle between the four of them). so maybe the emp did the same before and ofcourse the gods wont say that the emp is as powerful as they are that would be to close to the truth(although calling him anathema pretty much gives that away). besides if the emps power is a gift from them why dont they take away that gift?
