There are some cores of this chapter that I need to explain. Although I know that some readers don't care much about such details, I still want to tell the audience who didn't pay attention. After all, I don't intend to treat everyone as children.

Before Azrael gave Lion a helmet, his title when he put it on was the Dark Angels War Chapter Master, and he only had this title. According to "Astartes", the appointment of the Templar Chapter Master can be decided by the Chapter itself, so Azrael can give Lion a helmet, but at that time he only had this title, and the power was the same.

Lion's real power is that the protagonist of this chapter wants to be crowned. According to the laws of the Empire, the highest appointment of the Legion must and can only be carried out by the Emperor, or someone appointed by the Emperor with relevant rights.

And the protagonist's title of Supreme Marshal happens to be the only one in the entire Empire with this power. That's right, Guilliman doesn't have it, because the Regent is the head of the administrative department, not the head of the army, and the protagonist is.

Moreover, the First Legion was disbanded. According to the requirements of "The Temple", it is now equivalent to reconstruction, so the protagonist needs to recognize it, so that it is legal. The Dark Angels can legitimately use the name of the First Legion to ask the Mechanicus for supplies or expand the recruitment planet.

This requires another title of the protagonist, the Guardian of the Empire. This is an administrative power and is the title of the Imperial government second only to Guilliman. Therefore, the protagonist can and needs him to announce the reconstruction of the First Legion and give it legitimacy.

Otherwise, it will be like Huron, who will be regarded as a traitor and hit hard immediately.

Finally, the third purpose is religious posthumous conferment. After all, the Empire is a kingdom of God. Although Lion is the heir of the Empire, who knows if you are fake? Chaos has fooled the Empire in this way.

So the protagonist's third title, the Sword Bearer of the Empire, is religious, and there is a civilization record in the state religion. Therefore, the protagonist can represent the Emperor to canonize Lion as the Son of the Empire and solve the problem of the rise of the state religion in the post-Imperial era at the religious level.
