During her meditation in the water crystals, Bel hears a drumming noise and follows a chain to the glowing orb of Xyius, the dead water god. Determined to break the curse, she grabs the entire orb and pushes it into her own chest. A torrent of divine power floods her and she feels like her entire being is on fire. In the cosmic realms, distant entities witness a pillar of blue light erupt from Orth as she forcibly assimilates Xyius’s essence; even The Nameless One’s father chuckles at his son’s scheme. Bel wakes back in her bed on day one with energy buzzing in her veins, but the loop resets immediately.
