save his own life, instead insisting that he was summoned by Avery's need. Avery accepts this, concluding that he had a hidden ally somewhere that clearly wanted him to survive.
Yet as the two set off to return to Avery's camp and to retrieve Viola, Hamil is revealed to be the New Order God, Ankor, God of Mischief. Avery has indeed attracted a hidden ally, but the self-proclaimed God of Vengeance is oblivious to how close that ally actually is.
As Avery seeks to retreat with his disguised divine aid, Brea is asked to summon Imery to answer for the murder and abduction of Nathaniel's family. Compelled by her own doubts, Brea agrees and calls upon her Goddess to answer her questions while Nathaniel stands by, hidden from view with One 's power .
Imery responds but is infuriated that her priestess would challenge her and lashes out at Brea irrationally. Bracken steps forward to defend the priestess, but Imery's rage is not quelled. Seeing no other alternative, Nathaniel strikes out with One , skewering the Goddess from behind.
Imery is inexplicably caught on the blade, unable to escape the power of the sword. As the mortals look on, the Goddess suddenly becomes the center of a storm of duplicate selves. The Goddess' infinite manifestations are drawn back into a singular form, as the Goddess herself is powerless to break free. In the end, the Goddess' form bursts into countless white energy spheres that drift to the earth.
Brea rushes forward to try to capture the essence of her Goddess, but the energy passes through her hands, disappearing into the ground below.
Finally, as the last of the substance that had been her Goddess fades from sight, Brea looks up at Nathaniel and calls him, “Godslayer.” She then faints.

In Scollhaven, the Witness is trapped in a miasma of conflicting visions - between what has always been destined to be and what is now. While trying to reason out these contradicting destinies, he is visited by another demi-God, Dart - who has the power to transport herself anywhere. After the Witness reveals his capacity to share knowledge, Dart decides he needs to be protected and teleports him away.
Nathaniel and Brea wake to find themselves in love, sharing each others' bodies while Avery is tied to a nearby tree. But it turns out to all be an illusion created by one of the Nine godslayer swords - one that has not even woken yet! “Avery” is revealed to be a disguised stranger who once discovered disappears, leaving Nathaniel and Brea with the lingering effects of the sword's magic.
The real Avery - dejected and seemingly powerless - encounters a stranger from the future named Martin. Martin has Three , a sword able to send its user through time, and claims to have come to this point to forewarn Avery of things to come. Martin insists that Avery must travel to a town called Levitz to keep the next sword, Two , from the Godslayer - then vanishes.
In the Celestial Realm, the Gods have felt the death of Imery, and members of the Pantheon begin to fight for advantage. But the real champion of the day is Malik, who had created the swords, though few know that he has an additional sword, First , and none know of his actual plans for it. Meanwhile, within the ranks of the New Order, Kelvor and Galentine call upon Ankor (secretly Avery's companion, Hamil) to assist them in looking into their sister's death - promising him Imery's seat of power for his assistance.
Meanwhile, a great storm falls upon the world, scattering mysterious dark stones to all corners of the world - Carland included. [1] The Pantheon provides an explanation - that there was a rift in reality through which dark matter was falling - but assures Nathaniel and his companions that the incident was not related to the death of the Goddess.
As the storm begins, chance has it that a mutineer named Gravin was being cast overboard into the ocean for his crimes. But none could
