Vol. 5The Death Overlord’s Rise
Dunn ascended from Death Overlord to elder divine power amid wars among gods, Ancient Gods, and the Cleanser. After learning the World Will and Kaelsas had influenced his rise, he returned to the Astral Plane and chose to preserve their stalemate while seeking control of the world.
- Dunn chose Yala as his heir, defeated the factions that interfered with Atlantis, and ascended as the Death Overlord before withdrawing into the Astral Plane Depths.
- Yala expanded Atlantis through war while Dunn gained the death portfolio and watched the gods organize a nascent pantheon.
- Dunn navigated the divine war and the return of the Ancient Gods while Lolth rose in the Underdark and he discovered the Devil Fruit Tree could cleanse poisoned Faith Power.
- At the Pantheon council, the gods discussed advancement and divine offspring, and Tiamat offered Lolth troops for her Underdark campaign.
- Dunn helped shape the gods’ alliance as Divine Abominations emerged and the first Council targeted the Elf Empress and Wizard Speaker.
- The Fate Overlord’s plan drew the gods into battle against the Elf Empress, the Natural Ancient God, and the Wizard Speaker, while the Mother of Sea Monsters turned on Lolth.
- The Cleanser’s arrival drove the gods and Ancient Gods into a brutal struggle, and Dunn used the war and the Pale Disaster to rise to elder divine power.
- After the World Will and Kaelsas revealed their roles in his rise and asked him to choose between them, Dunn returned to the Astral Plane and decided to preserve their stalemate while seeking control of the world.
