Samus would appear again during the [[Battle of Calth]] as part of the demonic army summoned by [[Erebus]]. This time he possessed the body of [[Word Bearers]] [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Morpal Cxir]], who deliberately provoked [[Ultramarines]] Captain [[Teus Sullus]] into killing him, in order to "summon" Samus into realspace.{{Fn|2a}} Samus ran amok inside the Ultramarines' stronghold, but was finally banished after being stabbed by Captain [[Remus Ventanus]], using Cxir's own [[athame]] knife.{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|2c}}

{{spoiler|source=Fear to Tread (Novel)}}
While [[Horus]] was planning the [[Battle of Signus Prime|extermination]] of the [[Blood Angels]] on [[Signus Prime]], [[Ka'Bandha]] remarked to the [[Warmaster]] that ''"Samus sends his regards"'', indicating the daemon is still "alive" and well within the warp.{{Fn|3}}
Samus later possessed the headless corpse of [[Serghar Targost]] after [[Rama Karayan]] shot Targost through the head before he could invest [[Proximo Tarchon]] with a [[daemon]] in the bowels of the ''[[Vengeful Spirit]]''. He managed to kill [[Tubal Cayne]] before Tarchon destroyed Targost/Samus with his gladius.{{Fn|5}}
Samus' next manifestation took place during the final phase of the [[Solar War]]. He first took on the persona of [[Euphratii Euphrati Keeler]] in the dreams of the [[Remembrancer]] [[Mersadie Oliton]], urging her to go to [[Terra]] and meet [[Rogal Dorn]] to deliver urgent news about [[Horus]]' plan. As Keeler escaped her captivity and journeyed to Terra, he took the form of the [[Navigator]] [[NilusYeshar]] and appeared exclusively to Oliton, aiding her throughout her journey. Finally after being rescued by [[Garviel Loken]], Oliton was brought aboard the ''[[Phalanx]]'' to meet with Dorn at the height of fighting in the [[Sol System]]. Samus' plan was complete, and he manifested into the ''Phalanx'' directly through a [[Warp]]-eye implanted on Oliton years earlier by [[Maloghurst]]. Leading Daemonic hordes across Dorn's battlestation, Samus engaged the [[Primarch]] directly in combat. Though slain by Dorn, Samus was able to simply reincarnate himself into a new corpse and begin his rampage anew. He battled Loken once more, causing the [[Knights-Errant]] to go mad and revert to his "Cerberus" persona. In order to stop Samus, Oliton committed suicide in order to close the portal from which he had manifested. With her death, Samus vanished.{{Fn|7}}
