However Ferran, unwilling to allow what they have spent fifty years building go to ruin, understands the consciousness's true goal all too well and kills Taimat before the ritual can be completed.
  • Instead of going supernova, Tiamat's death causes her ritual to reverse and Ante consumes the light of the system.
