More than a year come full circle after the [[Pyramids]]' first communications with the [[Guardian]]s of the [[Last City]], the Hive across the system would find themselves fractured and broken apart by infighting and internal power struggles. Savathûn's ploy with the exiled Nokris to interfere with the Pyramid's communications would not go unanswered, as the Witch Queen found herself banished, excommunicated, and set to burn by the Black Fleet as punishment. The arrival of the Pyramids had also forced the Witch Queen into hiding as the same broods who once served her (and her brother prior) defected and attempted to strike out on their own. | More than a year come full circle after the [[Pyramids]]' first communications with the [[Guardian]]s of the [[Last City]], the Hive across the system would find themselves fractured and broken apart by infighting and internal power struggles.

After killing Guardians Cas and Maeve, Navôta would attempt to finish their remaining member [[Shaw Han]] only to be driven off by a newly-Risen Guardian. With her position threatened by brood [[Ak-Baral, Rival of Navôta|rival]]s suspicious of her weakness, the disgraced Navôta was forced to make a final confrontation with the Guardians at the [[Terrestrial Complex|Terrestrial]] and [[Jovian Complex]]es.

Gods like Oryx and Crota are capable of being killed in physical reality without truly dying; even under certain circumstances, Ascendant Hive gods can be reborn even if killed in the Ascendant Plane. So long as their souls are preserved, they can reemerge in corporeal form at a later time. If they are killed in their respective throne world, however, their death will be permanent.<ref name="Carved in Ruin"/> According to [[the Spider]], two other methods of permanently killing Hive gods exist but remain currently unknown. One of them possibly is to sever their connection to their throne world with enough strength from blood tithes, rendering them mortal. Another is for their Worm to fully consume their whole being if they are left starving of blood tithes | Gods like Oryx and Crota are capable of being killed in physical reality without truly dying; even under certain circumstances, Ascendant Hive gods can be reborn even if killed in the Ascendant Plane.
