Anton dies beneath Ogun's foot after Carl's Black Nimbus removes the god's protection and unintentionally converts a permanent punishment into immediate execution.
Anton cowers and sobs while Ogun pronounces judgment. His health continues falling from the earlier divine affliction, and he tries to retreat across the temple floor.
Carl casts Black Nimbus on him, replacing the shunned marker with a black crown and briefly removing Ogun's worship effects. Anton meets Carl's eyes with a moment of hope.
Ogun says the attempt removed Anton from his mercy, not his wrath. The god had intended to impose Paz's same lasting sentence, but instead turns away from Anton, steps backward onto his head, and crushes him instantly.
His bright blood stains Yemaya's blue-and-white tiles. Paz mourns his cousin as Ogun deliberately watches Carl's reaction.
A terrified tattooed man crab-walking across temple tiles beneath a black crown of severed divine protection.
Anton becomes the immediate casualty of Ogun's punishment and Carl's well-intended but disastrous intervention.
