Vritra and Diana face a barren desert populated by giant centipedes, while Fiona and Teresa struggle across a perilous canyon bridge. During their crossing, a horde of zombies attacks, causing the bridge to collapse and Teresa to fall into the darkness below. Meanwhile, the gods' meeting is interrupted by the arrival of Divine, who quickly dispatches the oldest god.

BOOM

With a swipe of his hand, Divine conjured a spatial blade that zipped through the air with blinding speed, causing a head to erupt.

"Haa, you've all learned to curb your arrogance better than before. Good boys, staying silent when I asked."

Divine let out a laugh.

"How dare you-"

"You're going to die-"

"Never disrespect the Gods-"

The biggest, smallest, and eyeless gods all spoke in unison.

"Haha, got you!" Divine exhaled a breath that swept past the three gods simultaneously, their heads exploding.

Despite the current forms of their bodies, they still possessed a true essence.

Divine swiftly collected several items from the brain matter, then turned his gaze to the remaining deities.

"My dear goddess, won't you speak for me?" Divine addressed one of the two female gods.

"OF course I will-" the instrument goddess instantly responded, showing no aversion to being harmed by him.

She reveled in pain, and no one had inflicted as much upon her as Divine. He had slain her kin and battered her to the brink of death.

He had plunged her into utter despair, and she cherished him for it.

She yearned for him to inflict more suffering, to make her cry and beg; the mere thought caused the strings of her guitar to loosen.

"Thank you, here is your reward." Divine flicked a finger, and her head exploded instantaneously, filling her with immense joy.

"Hmm, now, only you remain." Divine stated, looking at the four remaining gods, then added:

"This is getting boring, let's change the rules."

The four surviving gods clenched their fists, feeling utterly humiliated by his actions.

Yet, they understood their powerlessness against him, knowing he could banish them to eternal slumber if he so desired.

A tremor of fear ran through them as they desperately invoked aid from higher beings, the only ones capable of dealing with this monstrous entity.

Divine's aura was so ferocious that the *Qi* within the gods' bodies retreated, refusing to stir no matter what.

What was even more alarming was that this was not Divine's true form, but merely an avatar, and not even one at its full power.

"The new condition is this: any god who does not dance when I count to three will have their head explode." Divine declared after a moment's thought.

Surrounded by the ten gods, he closed his eyes, completely unguarded—a profound act of disrespect towards the divine.

The four remaining gods exchanged glances, unsure of how to proceed.

"One... two... three!!" Divine counted and then opened his eyes.

"..." He first observed the rope god, who remained utterly motionless.

"Out!" Divine snapped his fingers, and the god's head detonated.

His attention then shifted to the book god, who had also failed to move.

"Out!" Another head exploded. Though their forms were unnatural, it appeared as if a random part of their bodies had burst.

The ten gods were exceptionally proud beings. Despite their frequent disregard for principles in favor of greed, none could bring themselves to dance.

Divine looked towards the colossal, eyeless god, whose form radiated fury but whose body refused to obey.

"You are out too!" Another head exploded, leaving only a single god remaining.

The tenth god was a shadow woman, her presence so faint that she had gone unnoticed by everyone.

She had been present from the start, yet had uttered no sound, nor had any god acknowledged her or even glanced her way.

It was only when Divine looked at her that the other gods recalled the tenth deity among them.

Yet, witnessing the scene, even Divine was taken aback.

The shadow goddess possessed a feminine form, entirely enshrouded in darkness.

And at this moment, she was dancing?!!

Her waist swayed rhythmically from side to side, her arms lifted and moved through the air as she danced to an eerie, unknown beat.

Divine: "..."

He rolled his eyes but acknowledged he couldn't break his own game's rules.

"You passed... sigh." he conceded.

"Than-"

BOOM!

"Got you, heh." And with that, all ten seated gods had their heads obliterated.

Divine gathered the final object and spoke, "Farewell. Remember not to stress too much; it can truly lead to a headache."

BUZZZZ...

Then, reverting to the form of an insect, he vanished, leaving ten headless gods in his wake.

His formidable presence had suppressed the gods' healing abilities; only after his departure did their heads begin to regenerate.

The ten gods exchanged grim glances.

"No one is to speak of this matter to anyone ever again!" the eldest god commanded.

"B- But he took those items! Without them, how are we to create the players-" the book god stammered.

"We will manage. However, this brings not only immense shame but also severe repercussions for us." The oldest god interrupted.

A heavy silence descended upon the realm as the ten gods stared blankly at the table, only to be further stunned by what they saw next.

In that suspended moment of distraction, it seemed as if everything underwent a profound alteration.

The outcome left even the celestial beings utterly perplexed.

Having just vanquished the centipedes, Vritra found himself journeying alongside Diana, yet an exit remained elusive.

Suddenly, a portal shimmered into existence before them.

"Could this be another ruse?" he mused, hesitating at the portal's edge.

"Enter," a voice, unmistakably Divine, resonated within his mind.

Vritra, initially taken aback, then stepped through. Upon entering, he witnessed Shitless, Onest, and Asmodeus emerging from a separate portal.

"Whoa, pitiful one!!" Shitless exclaimed, finding themselves transported to an unfamiliar locale teeming with peculiar, monstrous beings.

These mutants relentlessly pursued them.

The trio found themselves unable to even contemplate their predicament.

From yet another portal, Vanessa, Yennefer, Maeve, and Yasmine materialized.

Vritra's gaze shifted, and he noticed Fiona kneeling not far away, her attention fixed upon the encroaching darkness.

"Where is Tess?" Vritra inquired, scanning the surroundings in search of her.

Fiona flinched at his voice, her eyes welling with tears as she turned. A profound sense of guilt washed over her.

"S- She fell… I attempted to- It's my fault…" she stammered, causing Vritra's expression to harden.

"She fell down there?!!" he demanded, hastening towards her and peering into the abyss below.

"Y- Yes, we were crossing the bridge, but then-" Fiona's explanation was cut short as Vritra, no longer listening, leaped into the darkness.

However, just as gravity began to claim him, a faint sound echoed from above.

Vritra looked up to see a portal had opened overhead, and from it descended Teresa, appearing somewhat frightened.

"Ahhhhh…" she could only emit a piercing scream, attempting to summon her ability, which proved futile.

Taking a few steps back, Vritra positioned himself to catch her safely in his arms.

Still disoriented, Teresa, even after being secured in his embrace, remained unaware and continued to cry out.

"Tess, are you alright?" Vritra's own heart pounded erratically, a surge of fear coursing through him.

Only upon hearing his voice did she finally open her eyes. Her hands formed tight fists as she clung to him, resembling a startled kitten.

"Mmm," Teresa simply hugged him, having truly believed she was doomed moments before.
