# Summary

> The Emperor and his companions are separated aboard the _Vengeful Spirit_, which has become infused with the growing power of the Warp. It soon transpires that the Dark King is not Horus, but the Emperor Himself, who has tapped into the Warp for the power to defeat Horus and his dark patrons. Persson and Loken appeal to the Emperor not to become Chaos in order to defeat it, and the Emperor ultimately relents, releasing the Warp power he had accumulated. Meanwhile, Sanguinius is met by the shade of his fallen brother Ferrus Manus, the Primarch of the Iron Hands, who guides the Angel to his final confrontation with the Warmaster. In a gruelling battle, Horus kills Sanguinius and crucifies his corpse in the Lupercal's Court. The death of their Primarch drives the Blood Angels into insanity, fighting friend and foe alike.
