The battlefield trembled.
Xel'Varyn's body surged with the power of a being no longer bound by mortal constraints. Her six arms pulsed with energy, each wrapped in the devouring force of an abyssal sun.
Sol'Rath recoiled. The divine flames surrounding the god flickered, reacting to the presence of something unnatural—something beyond even divinity.
For the first time in millennia, a god felt fear.

Xel'Varyn exhaled.
Her breath came out in wisps of shadow and light, two opposing forces swirling around her. Her new form felt limitless.
She clenched her six hands—each one brimming with a different aspect of her newfound might.
It was time to put it to the test.

The Duel That Shattered the Heavens
"This… This is heresy!" Sol'Rath roared, regaining composure.
The god thrust forward, unleashing a nova of divine flame. The explosion could have erased continents.
Xel'Varyn raised a single hand.
And snuffed it out.

The moment Sol'Rath's attack failed, the battlefield descended into chaos.
The soldiers of the Sun-Blade Dominion—the once unshakable warriors of divine will—froze in terror.
Their god had struck.
And their god had failed.

Breaking a God
Xel'Varyn did not hesitate.
She surged forward, appearing in front of Sol'Rath in an instant.
Her first hand drove through the god's burning chest. Holy ichor splashed against her skin, hissing as it tried to reject her existence.
Her second hand gripped his shoulder, forcing him to his knees.
Her third hand seized the divine crown upon his head.
And crushed it.
Sol'Rath screamed.
For the first time since its ascension, a god felt pain.
Xel'Varyn leaned in, whispering into his ear.
"You thought I was bound by fate."
Her fourth, fifth, and sixth hands all struck at once.
A single blow.
And Sol'Rath's celestial form shattered.

The battlefield fell silent.
The soldiers of the Sun-Blade Dominion dropped their weapons.
Some collapsed in despair. Others fell to their knees in worship.
For in that moment—
Xel'Varyn was no longer a mere ruler.
She was no longer a queen.
She had become the very thing she sought to defy.
A god.
---
The Birth of the Eclipse Sovereign
As the heavens reeled from the loss of one of their own, Xel'Varyn stood alone upon the battlefield.
Her six arms stretched outward, and the black sun behind her eclipsed the sky.
She turned to the kneeling soldiers, her voice echoing with power absolute.
"Your god is dead."
"I am your new Sovereign."
And as her words carried across the broken lands—
A new empire was born.
The Empire of the Eclipse.
