...The enemy of my enemy is my friend...maybe, like SPAWN, he got alittle out of hand and any exchange of power was meant to be more of a short term thing to allow the Emperor to help over power a mutual rivial, the ensuring comflict weaken both and allow one or more remaining chaos gods to sweep the field.

I'm more of the feeling that it was likely more the case of inaction and the Emperor maybe just tapping some universal power whilst in the same realm of existance as the choas gods - aftyer he went through the portal that the prepetual lady was trying to close on Molech.

Maybe by defeating some entities power can be transferred, as in the 'Highlander' Films. Idon't know but as it has been hinted at a couple/few times, I expect there is more to the story.
