With all this new insight, the Guardian continues on in their mission in gathering tithes for Eris, whether it be in Shaxx's Crucible or within the Altars of Summoning, growing stronger with each kill. In addition, Eris provides attunements for the Guardian in strengthening her powers and of their abilities in using Hive Magic. The Guardian would receive one more message from Immaru, again taunting them regarding his dislike of their alliance but goes through with the plan because his Lightbearer had ordered it, along with him to give the Guardians whatever they need, giving them another recording of Savathûn's as proof. Of course, Immaru does so in his usual brutal, matter-a-fact style, encouraging the Guardians to help Eris grow stronger with tithes, mocking them once again in being part of the Witch Queen's plan. | With all this new insight, the Guardian continues on in their mission in gathering tithes for Eris, whether it be in Shaxx's Crucible or within the Altars of Summoning, growing stronger with each kill.

In time, Eris calls upon the Guardian in her Hive form once more within her Athenaum. She informs them that ever since she assumed her new form, a whisper from the Deep called to her, goading her to give in to her vengeance but Eris refused and promises to destroy her Hive form along with the rest once Xivu Arath is dealt with. However, Eris warns the Guardians that the Hive God of War will not fall to might alone for she has feed off of conflict since the first war-song. Nonetheless, Eris states that each tithe strengthens her as well as thrills her but informs the Guardians that her cards speak of change, " great shadow rises from the sea of blood", as she explains. In essence, something is coming. | |||
That something turned out to be Xivu Arath herself, as her brood managed to breach into Savathûn's Spire, looking to turn her sister's court into her battlefield. After taking out [[Molok, Edge of Xivu Arath]], the Guardians work to clear out the rest of the spire of Xivu Arath's forces even as the War God taunted them and issued her challenge towards Eris Morn. As the Guardians ascended the Spire, slaying any Scorn before Xivu Arath's brood could, the War God continued to taunt Eris, goading her to accept the Sword Logic as truth and face her as Hive, but Eris Morn refuses to give into Xivu Arath's words before threatening her that once their clash is over, she will flee, leaving the Xivu Arath's Worm to gnaw at her before she starves. Ikora claims that they must rethink their plan but Eris Morn states that they can't for Xivu Arath's presence only proves its efficacy and that while they cannot directly fight the Hive God of War, they can still hold the line against her until a way forward is found. As such, Eris Morn instructs the Guardians to return to the oubliette to claim the tithes she needs before Xivu Arath claims them as spoils for her eternal war. Ikora once again voices her discomfort in their plan but Eris Morn merely states she doesn't have to. Immaru quickly makes contact with the Guardian to make haste in reaching his Lightbearer's oubliette, citing that Xivu Arath breaching into Savathûn's Throne World wasn't part of the plan. | |||
Returning to the Witch Queen's oubliette, entering into the Altars of Summoning, the Guardians already hear the voice of Xivu Arath herself, taunting them on how that even Warriors of the Light honor the Sword Logic, claiming that her sister's spire and the Altars as proof. At the Altar of Devotion, the Guardians managed to slay Ir Dollox and Ir Kaza, Talons of Xivu Arath before they could claim tithes for Xivu Arath. Fortunately, their deaths serve as more tithes for Eris just the same which only leaves Xivu Arath incensed. As the Guardians neared the next Altar, Xivu Arath summons her best general, [[Leviathan-Eater, Bane of the Ammonites]], to face them. However, before their battle could proceed any further, the Leviathan-Eater withdraws, leading Ikora to believe that he was testing the Guardians' capabilities but he be back with reinforcements once Xivu’s brood has been assembled. | |||
