For the last time, Geb summons his manta angel messenger, and sends it to visit Lazleth and Iwo.
"You were chosen as champion to save a continent. That task is now irrelevant; you must save the remaining people of the world, for the planet is coming to an end. This is purely a physical threat, your armour will allow you to avoid danger. You must give this protection to as many others as you can."
The angel then flies directly at Lazleth, and into him, merging with him in a blinding light. The light rises into the heights of the dragon's cave and grows, and when it fades once more Lazleth is vastly changed. He has become a kilometre-long angelic naga, the manta's wing-fins attached to his head like the hood of a cobra, with a faint glow of divine power coming from his eyes. The armour has grown too, and merged with him, forming a metallic expanse of scale, leaving it's powers intrinsic in him.
The last of the mind of the manta merges with him, delivering its final message as a thought in Lazleth's now giant head.
"Most Naga have escaped, you must save the remainder, by bringing them within you. Fly through the planet, seek survivors, and rescue them by swallowing them all."
Geb converts Lazleth into a second, living escape ship, and sends him to seek survivors.
