Before Horus, Maloghurst conducts conducted the ritual and again finds found himself before Horus' fragmented soul, this time at [[Ullanor]] before the Triumph. He urges urged Horus to submit before the Gods and free his soul, saying it's was too late to turn back now. Proclaiming that Horus can could never be a slave as he chose this path, Maloghurst pulls pulled out a knife and stabs stabbed the wound at Horus' side. Maloghurst sacrifices sacrificed himself to free the fragment of Horus' soul trapped in the Warp, and the Warmaster woke up and resumed control of the Legion in time for the [[Siege of Terra]].
