After the [[First Siege of Hydra Cordatus]] Perturabo was approached by [[Fulgrim]], Primarch of the [[Emperor's Children]], who promised the Lord of Iron near unlimited power. The two embarked on a quest to tip the balance of the rebellion in Horus' favor by journeying into the [[Eye of Terror]] and retrieve a weapon known as the '''Angel Exterminatus'''. After a brief boarding action with the ''[[Sisypheum]]'' (which Perturabo allowed to escape due to his disgust of Fulgrim's Legion), the duo arrived in the Eye and quickly landed on the [[Crone World]] of [[Iydris]]. Entering an ancient [[Eldar]] citadel known as the ''Amon ny'shak Kaelis'', the Emperor's Children and Iron Warriors [[Battle of Iydris|had to contend]] with an army of [[Wraithguard]] and [[Wraithlord]]s that had awoken from their slumber. At the height of the vicious battle Fulgrim attempted to betray his brother and slip away, but was pursued by Perturabo. Both soon arrived in a massive spherical chamber, and Fulgrim revealed to his brother that there was no Angel Exterminatus, but he rather was destined to become such a weapon on this world. Furious, Perturabo attempted to attack Fulgrim but was drained of his power when Fulgrim activated the ''Maugetar'' stone that Perturabo had previously received under the guise of a gift. Now with the Iron Warriors Primarchs' power in hand, Fulgrim revealed the purpose of his plan: to achieve ''Apotheosis'', better known as [[Daemon Prince|Daemonhood]].{{Fn|7}}
However just as Fulgrim was about to complete his ritual and achieve Daemonhood, Perturabo gathered enough strength to charge at his brother but were interrupted by an ambush of [[Salamanders]], [[Iron Hands]], and [[Raven Guard]] who had been stalking the traitor fleet in search of vengeance since the [[Drop Site Massacre]]. One of the loyalist Astartes during the battle shattered the ''Maugetar stone'', freeing some of Perturabo's energy and giving him the ability to strike down Fulgrim with his [[Thunder Hammer]]. However Perturabo only managed to destroy the Primarchs mortal skin and was reborn as a Daemon Prince. Now a massive but elegant serpentine creature, Fulgrim told his brother that they would meet again then vanished in a burst of [[Warp]] energy along with his Emperor's Children. Exhausted and betrayed by his brother he knew had now lost any trace of honorhonour, Perturabo allowed the loyalist Astartes to withdraw and led his own forces off the Crone World. Looking to settle the score with Fulgrim and better understand the cosmic power he had witnessed, Perturabo ordered his fleet sail deep into the Eye of Terror.{{Fn|7}}
