However it soon became apparent that The Beast had somehow survived his encounter with Vulkan. He announced his presence on the [[Attack Moon]] over [[Terra]].{{Fn|7}} Koorland then launched a new plan to try and slay the Beast using a captured Ork Psyker and [[Sisters of Silence]] to create a devastating "reverse-Waaagh!" effect. In the second invasion of Ullanor, The Beast was seemingly killed by the ritual after an execution force led by Koorland again reached his palace. However shortly after his death, another, even larger Ork Warboss appeared and it became apparent that there were in fact six "Beasts", each a Prime-Ork commanding his own "Legion". This newly appeared Warboss was identified as the same that had fought Vulkan before killing Koorland.{{Fn|8}}
After the death of Koorland [[Maximus Thane]], [[Chapter Master]] of the [[Fists Exemplar]], rebuilt the [[Imperial Fists]] using portions of [[Battle-Brother]]s from each [[Chapter]] of the [[Last Wall]]. This force led a third push on Ullanor. In the third battle for the planet, Thane and his entourage again attempted to use a captured Ork Psyker in conjunction with a ritual by the [[Sisters of Silence]] to slay the Beast. During the battle, the assassination team encountered one of the Prime Orks, which was speculated to be the "Beast of Beasts". As it was about to wipe out the Imperial invaders, the Beast's head exploded due to the psychic ritual.{{Fn|9}}
