Editing Hive

Ikora continues to have deep reservations about the plan and how it affects Eris, especially after learning of her newly forged bond with Ahsa. From her and Sloane, Ikora and the Guardian learn that Ahsa helps contain the energy of the tithes they collect for Eris but if the ritual goes on for too long then Eris will remain trapped as a Hive while Ahsa will become twisted into something horrible. With this knowledge, Ikora consults with Eris once more, who while remaining resolute, is troubled that her covenant with Ahsa has led her to suffer pain and Eris gains power from it. Nonetheless, Eris refuses to let the ritual change her into something she is not. Further, Eris states to Ikora that, however regrettable, when she first invoked the Worm Gods in her ritual, Ahsa was the one who answered. As such, Eris states that the risk of the ritual is theirs to make.

After handling more of Ikora's unease with the plan and conquering another trial of the Witch Queen's Imbaru Engine, the Guardian answers Eris Morn's summons, taking her Hive form once more. Proclaiming that this will be their final tithe, Eris Morn states that she has Ikora prepare something from the Vanguard vaults for transmat when the time is right, for when she will remind Savathûn and Xivu Arath were once "born as prey". Returning to the oubliette, Immaru voices his fears that Xivu Arath began to summon the Leviathan-Eater, proclaiming his intent to flee but Eris Morn forces the Hive Ghost to stay as the Guardian opens the way to the Altar of the Sword, where they challenge Xivu Arath's champion. Despite the Leviathan-Eater's power and streams of Hive support, the Guardian manages to hold their own against him, forcing Xivu Arath to prepare a bombardment of the area. Using her Hive Magic, Eris was able to create a barrier strong enough to withstand the bombardment, forcing the Leviathan-Eater to charge, breaching the barrier. In one last clash, the Guardian manages to slay the Leviathan-Eater, empowering Eris and preparing her for the last part of her plan. At the Altar's center, Eris has Ikora transmat the item she requested, Savathûn's body for Immaru to resurrect. Immaru protests, citing that Xivu Arath is still a threat but Eris Morn orders him to proceed as he will not get another chance. Agreeing, Immaru raises Savathûn back from death with the Witch Queen commenting on Eris's Hive form, claiming that she had "come out of her shell" but the Hive God of Vengeance merely replied that she would be the Witch Queen's ruin, slicing her throat, surprising all present. In that act, Eris gained power from Savathûn's death, gaining all the power she had accumulated since the last time she had died before being separated from her worm, which was over a millennia ago. Combining that with the tithes the Guardians had gathered, Eris had now become the most powerful Hive God, surpassing even Xivu Arath. Using her power, Eris Morn cast a spell that banished the Hive God of War from her own Throne World, rendering her mortal and unable to draw strength from tithes before fainting.
