There's been two whole chapters to a cult leader called Julatta and her cult's experience in the aftermath. They've been running nonstop on Terra trying to get away from Ultramarines.
At one point they are going down from the mountain the palace is on and find that a waterfall of blood has been formed from the billions of bodies.
Next they find hundreds of thousands if not millions of bodies stuck in the ground from the torso/shoulders up.
Dorn wants to immediately counterattack all traitors and chase them all down before any can escape.
Guilliman wants to do it step by step as he doesn't beleive they have the resources for what Dorn wants. He wants to retake Luna first and then Mars before going out further.
Terra is being kept alive by Guilliman, he had planned so far in advance that he had sent fleets of ships full of medicine and food a year in advance so they would all arrive at Terra when needed.
Many of the chaos aligned can't feel the warp or anything chaotic anymore so the most tied to it feel completely lost. Poessessed had the daemons pulled right out of them.
Kyril Sindermann is already a big proponent that the Emperor was right about chaos and any knowledge of it only leads to it gaining control of you. Xanthus approches him with the idea of forming an alliance.
The triitor gang encounter a DG and SoH cruisers trying to also escape through the Elysian gate but many Ultramarine hunter-killer ships are waiting amongst the 1000s of bits of debris. The gang have to abandon ship and jump into an old floating fortress.
Mouhausen pays a visit to the (astronomican?) and the high lord Zhi-Meng. She tells him that all the high lords should begin organising things for themselves while he had been of the mind that the primarchs and legions would get things running again. He agrees with her way of thinking. The seeds for the high lords actually having authority are laid.
They also discuss how the astronomican lit up when psykers died near it.
