Tyranus and Order’s branch gods defeated the first wave of chief gods, while many sacrificed themselves and banished their godheads to preserve clean inheritances for the future.

Kallen went to the 1st Knight Order’s garrison to deliver the final preparations for its awakening, but his attempt to summon the sleepers triggered a violent response. He discovered that the Pyramid held sleeping deities, including the God of Chaos and the God of War, and the chapter ended as the God of War asked how much longer he had to wait.

• The Flying Knights marked targets while Summoners and Spell Art Practitioners sacrificed themselves to unleash coordinated attacks that wounded and disoriented the gods.
• Dikno ordered the cavalry to charge continuously as Priests burned themselves to bless them, and polluted knights left formation to decay.
• Dikno ordered the battle formation to advance and the Formation Masters to activate the Human Formation, turning the Shield Bearers and War Machines into tools for crushing the weakened gods.

Puer, Dikalost, and Raniedal led the dwindling expedition through the polluted mire toward Heaven, while the clerics and their companions sacrificed themselves to carry them forward. Raniedal lost his godhood protecting Puer, and she woke at the foot of Heaven's gate, uncertain whether they had arrived or died.
