A messiah complex is the mental state of those who believe they are, or will become, saviors. Symptoms of this started appearing alongside his worsening narcissism and increase in maladpative coping mechanisms. In other words, Chris's case of the messiah complex is a symptom of his god complex clashing with his maladaptive coping mechanisms.
In the latter half of the 2010s Chris increasingly started resorting to his fantasy world as a way of coping with the pressures of reality and, after being influenced by the Idea Guys' cult-like grip,(along with the help of a mediocre anime series) he gradually built up a perception on the existence of gods in real life, he later bestoved the powers of these gods on himself thus creating CPU Blue Heart. Chris also attempted without success to orchestrate a Dimensional Merge to unite himself with said counterpart to gain an array of godlike powers, all as a maladaptive coping mechanism against his bleak life.
Preexisting Conditions
The messiah complex grew ou of two already existing problems Chris had, namely his God complex and his Maladaptive coping.
God Complex
Main article - Chris and his ego#Narcissistic personality disorder
Chris's messiah complex arose from his worsening god complex or narcissism. He felt he is a great being that is loved and admired by all, almost like a god.
Maladaptive Coping
Main article - Chris and coping
His God complex along with his worsening addiction to using maladaptive coping due to being manipulated by the idea guys led to the birth of his messiah complex.
Origin of the Messiah complex
Chris always believed he had certain magic powers; he used to curse people he didn't like (men) and bless people he liked (women). Due to trolls acting like these curses actually caused them misfortune, Chris got the confirmation that some of his powers were real. He also thought God and Jesus had a special intrest in his life and were appearing in his dreams to help him.
In his comics Chris gave himself god like powers to beat up the people he didn't like and change IRL situations where he was punished by authorities to a situation where he won against the authorities i.e, a Mary sue. For a long time comic Chris and real Chris were separate individuals in Chris's mind, but with the coming of the idea guys and teen troon squad the line between reality and fiction got blurred and he mixed himself and his self insert up.
As he had to prove to the fans that his newfound magic powers were real, he came up with the most rational solution he could think of; the dimensional merge. This helped blow his messiah complex out of proportion.
Dimensional merge
The dimensional merge is a concept where two dimensions, one where Chris is a loser and another where he is a god are merging where the end result is a single Chris with godlike powers. He created the concept of the merge to make people believe he has real life powers and answer why his powers are being activated after 38 years of his miserable existence. A paradox arises when one realises that Chris started the merge using his powers but the merge granted him those powers in the first place.
This was most likely created as a means of coping from his life where he was the man of the house and had to take care of his mother, pay bills and do tasks he considers to be stressful. He also used the merhe to justify why he does nothing daily and to give himself hope that things might get better in the future.
To stroke his ego and get confirmation that the merge is happening he made his fictional characters worship him, for him these characters are living and their worship is equivalent to worship by actual people. Seeing this, many enablers also started worshipping him to get on his good side. Due to all this reaffirmation in his believes he started thinking he is a god.
Examples of the Messiah complex
