Despite Gomurr’s efforts, Cain believes her, and vanishes in a puff of smoke. She takes him to Cyttorak’s throne room, where she wakes the age-old deity, and informs him that his vessel has arrived. Cain realizes he’s been played. Spite only wants him to be Cyttorak’s earthly vessel so he can return to Earth, and he promised her he would take her with him. She has been imprisoned there by her brother for far too long. Cain is furious and throws Spite at the giant Cyttorak statue, which has come to life. It swallows her and proceeds to pound on Cain, who no longer has his Juggernaut powers. As they fight, Tar and Gomurr appear and Tar releases a neon scorpion, which imbues Cain with the power he lost. He then shatters Cyttorak into a thousand pieces. The arcane energy that is released proceeds to destroy the dimension, and so Tar and Gomurr take refuge in the Crimson Dawn.
