*{{Main|Great Scouring}}
Shortly after Dorn, Valdor, and a small Custodes escort arrived in Lupercal's court to find Loken and the two corpses. Leetu had also lived through the ordeal, and directed Dorn as to where to find Sanguinius' body and Ferrus Manus' skull. Both alongside the Emperor's body were taken by Dorn and the others as they teleported back into the Imperial Palace. Loken insisted he stay behind to watch over his fathers body, something that later caused him to be killed by [[Erebus]].{{Fn|27g}} Back inside the Throneroom, Leetu pointed out a ''Throne'' Tarot Card had been discovered by the Emperor's body. Dorn and even Valdor both agreed this was a sign directing them to place the Emperor upon the Golden Throne much once more. Malcador's form upon the Throne had since disintegrated into nothingness.{{Fn|27j}} The Emperor has spent the last 10,000 years upon the Golden Throne, eternally silent.{{Fn|1e}}
Immediately upon the death of Horus, the situation on Terra reversed completely. Every Daemon across Terra was sent back into the Warp as the Chaos Gods recoiled. Guilliman's fleet arrived in the Sol System, bringing massive amounts of reinforcements and beginning a vicious counterattack alongside Admiral [[Niora Su-Kassen]] and ''[[The Phalanx]]'', which emerges with its escorts from hiding within the rings of [[Saturn]] to attack the traitors. With their Primarch dead, the Sons of Horus fell into complete disarray and immediately broke, with Abaddon gaining some groups of survivors and fleeing aboard the ''Vengeful Spirit''. Many of the more corrupted traitor Space Marines died where they stood, while others fell into a fugue state. Panic broke out amongst the lesser followers of Chaos.{{Fn|27h}} Most either met swift end to the Imperial counterattacks or attempted to flee the world in whatever ships they could find.{{Fn|31a}}
