This is the most ignorant thing I have ever read on these boards. And that's saying a lot, because Brother Coa posts regularly.

I do hope it was sarcasm.

Incorrect! China is the largest economy but that's neither here nor there, money does not make right.

Incorrect! America is still by far the worlds largest economy.

That's in GDP nominal. PPP per capita it's USA 15trillion China 11trillion.
nominal GDP is basically GDP when you simply convert it into US dollers.
GDP PPP is GDP that takes into account the whacky things that currancy does and is basically a much more realistic measure of economic strength.

First: The Horus Heresy was a massive assault upon Holy Terra, utilizing not only the resources of the Traitor Legions and their associated Titan Legions and other troops, but also demonic incursions from the Warp. This assault was an opportunity for the Ruinous Powers to remove the Emperor once and for all, and so they sent Demons to assist their assault. It is reasonable to assume that the Emperor's psychic might was occupied Interdicting the bulk of the demonic forces and preventing them from entering the Materium.

Second: Horus was a powerful being in his own right, and was enhanced by the Ruinous Powers. The fight with Horus was a close one, which the Emperor barely survived. Likely they sparred, not mearely with Storm Shield and Power Sword, but with psychic powers the fury of which could not be withstood by onlookers. I imagine those sacred few who accompanied the Emperor on His last assault were torn apart in the psychic tumult that parked that final battle as lances of psychic power flew haphazardly.

Third: The Astronomicon is a psychic beacon of such incomprehensible power that it can be seen in the immaterium across the vastness of the galaxy. This is no mean feat, and should the Emperor's attention falter, even for a moment, those countless vessels that tread the Void keeping the Empire's vast engines of war and commerce would be lost. For that reason, the Emperor remains focused on projecting His Holy Light, even unto the bitterest end for the Empire He has sacrificed so much for.
