Seeing how his moves were being constantly neutralised by Max, Angakok decided to take a very drastic step and cut his losses short.
Max's ascended tier6 soul was way too strong within his own body and was exerting a soul drain that was getting increasingly difficult for Angakok to bear.
Taking over a god's body was never an easy task, however, with the betrayal of Khnum and Max showing unexpected resilience, Angakok knew his plan was a bust.
If he did not wish to perish now and be absorbed in full by the young boy, he needed to smartly acknowledge his defeat here today and retreat.
Gathering the last bit of tier7 divine essence he had left in his body, Angakok began retreating away from Max's soul vessel as the repelling force of the soul vessel helped him in accelerating his retreat.
