He nodded, and dismissed the balefire blade. "Sorry, I am paranoid to the point of sanity. Sorry about your husband, didn't have much of a choice. I already am fighting another Beyonder tainted god intent on destroying everything. Last thing I needed was a second front with the same idea."<br/><br/>He glanced at the bone arm, before shrugging and casting stasis on it, and then removing it. He sealed both sides of the tear, before tossing the arm into the bag on his hip, and then reforming his arm, having to use several wishes amplifying rewriting to get it back, instead of a thought like it normally would. That done, he rolled his shoulder, before giving both the former queen and the new Emperor a nod. "If you will excuse me your majesty?"<br/><br/>He turned back to the obelisk, intent on leaving, though he paused just before he touched it. He turned back, and gave Zero a slightly malicious smile, before raising his voice. "The Emperor is dead, LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR!"<br/><br/>The last bit of chaos sown for the moment, just to make sure everyone knew about it, though he knew no one else had had the gumption to issue the traditional cry of an emperor dying and a new one taking his place, he touched the portal heading back to withdraw the death squaders, leaving the shadow stalkers and Oversoul to finish the battle, and insert themselves or not as they saw fit.
