Alongside [[Zabriel]], his growing loyalist force of Risen, and the emerging [[Lion Guard]] auxilia, Lion El'Jonson worked to save his [[Lion's Protectorate|newly claimed region]] of [[Imperium Nihilus]] from the [[Ten Thousand Eyes]] [[Chaos Warband|Warband]]{{Fn|32e}}. Battling the Ten Thousand Eyes on Camarth and [[Avalus]], on the world of [[Sable]] Lion El'Jonson was briefly captured by the [[Fallen]] [[Sorcerer Lord]] [[Seraphax]]. The Fallen Sorcerer revealed he intended to remove The Lion's soul from his body and use it as a puppet to gain audience with the [[Emperor]]. Seraphax would then use The Lion's slaved form to kill The Emperor, which Seraphax believed would elevate the Master of Mankind to a new Warp deity to destroy both Chaos and [[Xenos]]. However thanks to the intervention of The Risen, the Lion was able to escape and defeat Seraphax.{{Fn|32i}}{{Fn|32j}}

After defeating Seraphax, The Lion continued to master his Forestwalk and attempted to unravel the mystery of Mirror-Caliban. The mysterious realm also once held the [[power sword]]{{Fn|32d}} [[Fealty]]{{Fn|32e}} and the [[Emperor's Shield (Relic)|Emperor's Shield]]{{Fn|32j}}, until both were discovered by Lion El'Jonson{{Fn|32e}}{{Fn|32j}}. The latter was contained in the domed building the [[Watcher in the Dark|Watcher]] had warned him against entering and upon doing so anyways, The Lion fought a [[Daemon]] that could shape-shift into the forms of his brother [[Primarchs]]. This ability caused him to be overwhelmed by the creature, until the Lion found the Emperor's Shield within the building and used its powers to destroy the Daemon.{{Fn|32j}}
Shortly after claiming the Emperor's Shield, The Lion rendezvoused with a group of [[Blood Angels]] that had arrived to investigate rumors of the Lion's return. Lion El'Jonson convenes with [[Dante]], who shocks the Primarch by revealing that [[Roboute Guilliman]] lived.{{Fn|32k}}
