So at the end of the Siege of Terra, the Emperor defeats Horus in single combat. Despite having serious injuries, it seems like once the Emperor decides to actually fight, he is able to dispatch Horus quite quickly. The question I have is, did the Chaos Gods think Horus could actually kill the Emperor, or did they not know/care that Horus wouldn't be much of a match for him?
