After [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]] loses her connection to her [[Black Terrace|throne world]] and the Guardian discovers a solution to bypass the portal inside the Traveler, the Witness sends the Sol Divisive to invade the [[Dreaming City]] as it continues its pursuit of the [[Final Shape]].

The Guardian would destroy the Aspirational Construct at Mara's command, but as they recover more of Riven's clutch, the Sol Divisive would respond by deploying [[Oracle]]s from the [[Vault of Glass (location)|Vault of Glass]] into Riven's lair.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Polysemy]]''</ref> The Oracles deployed by the Sol Divisive were attempting to mimic resonance, an aspect of Darkness predominantly used by the Witness and its [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciples]].<ref name="Apophasis/> They would create a [[Vex Mind]] with the ability to simulate the Techeuns, allowing them to go one step ahead of the Guardian.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Wishing All the Best#Step 28|Wishing All the Best: Step 28]]''</ref> After the Guardian defeats the [[Deceptor Mind]], the Sol Divisive would steal one of Riven's eggs and slow down the Guardian by sending in the [[Centroidal Mind]] and placing the egg in the Black Garden near [[Taranis]]'s remains.

Eventually, the Guardian successfully retrieved the rest of Riven's eggs. Riven held up her end of the bargain and opened a portal into the [[Pale Heart]]. Crow would venture through the portal and was on his way to his final destination.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Final Words]]''</ref> However, as everyone waited for Crow to arrive, the Sol Divisive received new orders from the Witness. With its guidance, they were able to create a second [[Black Heart]] that they would use to disrupt and weaken the Veil in a final attempt to stop [[the Coalition]] from following The Witness. However, Osiris caught on to this and tasked the Guardian with another infiltration into the Black Garden. After fighting through many of the Sol Divisive's defenses, including the [[Withdrawn Mind]], the Guardian reached the same spot where they destroyed the original Black Heart. History repeated itself as the Guardian annihilated the Vex forces worshipping the Black Heart, as well as the three vessel Minotaurs of the [[Established Mind|Temp]][[Inevitable Mind|oral]] [[Synchronal Mind|Progeny]] summoned to defend the heart. Eventually, the remade Black Heart would be destroyed with the last of the summoned Minds, ending the Sol Divisive's attempts to prevent anyone from following the Witness into the Pale Heart.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Closer to the Heart]]''</ref> | Eventually, the Guardian successfully retrieved the rest of Riven's eggs.
