Vulkan eventually made it back into the Throneroom through the Webway Gate, only to be greeted with the news that the ''[[Vengeful Spirit]]'' had lowered its [[Void Shield]]s and the Emperor Himself was preparing to lead an assault on the vessel.{{Fn|22a}} However Vulkan was told by His father that he would not take part in this last-ditch effort, instead he would look after the [[Golden Throne]] as [[Malcador the Sigillite|Malcador]] took his place on it in the Emperor's stead. Should the traitors breach the palace, Vulkan was instructed to activate the [[Talisman of Seven Hammers]].{{Fn|22b}} Mere hours later, Vulkan met with [[Ollanius Persson]], [[John Grammaticus]], and [[Argonauts|their group]] finally reached the Palace. There, he learned from [[Actae]] of the prophecy that foretold Horus as The Dark King and the potential fifth [[Chaos God]].{{Fn|22c}}
As the Emperor battled Horus board the ''Vengeful Spirit'', the traitors advanced to within pounding on the door into the Throneroom. Thinking all hope was lost, Vulkan began to activate the Talisman of Seven Hammers as Malcador, dying upon the Golden Throne, could only watch helplessly as he knew that victory was not yet lost.{{Fn|23a}} However Vulkan is ultimately convinced to back down from activating the doomsday weapon after hearing the message being broadcast across Terra from [[Actae]] that the Emperor still lived and was fighting on against Horus.{{Fn|23b}} He is later present when Dorn, Valdor, and the others bring back the broken body of the Emperor and place Him upon the Golden Throne.{{Fn|23c}}
