What happens if I kill the Emperor in bg3?

The Emperor (or, at first, your Guardian) can be 'killed' at several points throughout Baldur's Gate 3, but the choice is an illusion. Killing them will end the game since you'll no longer have anyone protecting you from the Absolute's influence. The only way to truly kill them is to free Orpheus.
