Arc

Not a cleric: the beetle-headed figure in the screenshot is the god himself, God of Rebirth and the Sunrise, level 250, a retainer of Adrasteia since Khnum dropped dead, ignored by the big players 'because he's a goddamned weirdo', at an endless table of 433 kinds of bug (ch. 52, ch. 53). Vinata summoned him into his own temple as a trap (ch. 53); his temporary effect is ninety seconds of immortality, which holds Carl's atoms together through a thermobaric blast (ch. 52, ch. 54). Banished at the temple portal in Club Vanquisher, outside his own temple, by Hellik's voice (ch. 54).
