# Summary

> The Warp has caused all time on Terra to stop, and victory is in the Warmaster's grasp. But Guilliman's reinforcements are mere hours away, so Horus orders the shields of his flagship, the _Vengeful Spirit_, to be lowered in order to lure the Emperor into a direct confrontation. At the same time, Ollanius Persson and his "Argonauts" reach the Palace, hoping to warn the Emperor that Horus' power has grown to the point where he will sacrifice humanity to become a new God of Chaos, "the Dark King". When he arrives, he is met by Vulkan, who tells him he is too late: The Emperor, accompanied by Dorn, Sanguinius, Valdor, and their best warriors, has already teleported aboard the _Vengeful Spirit_ to confront the Warmaster. Garviel Loken, who seeks to confront his father Horus, also manages to make his own way aboard.
