[[File:I am Unity.jpg|thumb|left|200px|<center><small>by [[Coppermind:Artists/Wanda Sonnemann|Wanda Sonnemann]]</small></center>"I am Unity."]]Odium and Dalinar meet along with several Fused including [[Venli]]. Odium explains that he had been grooming Dalinar for years and reveals that he himself is to be Odium's Champion. Dalinar falls to his knees as the Thrill and the pain of his past actions bombard him. He is broken and alone and Odium offers him an escape of that pain if he will just give in. {{book ref|sa3|118}} Dalinar instead manages to overcome the pressure and accept and bear his pain, refusing to become Odium's Champion. He rises to his feet and reaches his hands to either side. In one hand he grips the [[Cognitive Realm]], in the other the [[Spiritual Realm]]. Venli whispers to him asking "What are you?" He brings his hands together exclaiming, "I am Unity."{{book ref|sa3|119}} All three realms, physical, cognitive, and spiritual are united in an outpouring of [[gloryspren]] and [[Stormlight]], infusing every gem in the city and forming a [[Perpendicularity]] that [[Adolin]], [[Shallan]], and [[Kaladin]] use to return to the Physical Realm and join the fight.
Shallan, using [[Surgebinding#Illumination|Lightweaving]], creates an entire army to distract their assailants, even managing to give them substance.{{book ref|sa3|120}} Jasnah shows off her prowess with her [[Soulcasting]] abilities, and decides not to kill [[Renarin]], who is revealed to have bonded a corrupted spren, instead embracing him. Renarin, who had seen his death at Jasnah's hands as a vision, realizes that his visions are not set in stone and that there is hope for humanity.{{book ref|sa3|118}}
Amaram tries to attack Dalinar but is rebuffed by Kaladin.{{book ref|sa3|119}} He then chooses to bond [[Yelig-nar]] by swallowing a gem that the [[Unmade]] was contained in, growing grotesque carapace under his [[Shardplate]] and access to all ten [[Surge]]s.{{book ref|sa3|120}} While Kaladin handles Amaram and keeps the Fused too occupied to attack him, Dalinar makes his way into the center of the red mists that make up Nergaoul. In the sky, Szeth, with the help of Lift, has finally acquired the King's Drop, but is followed by a number of flying Fused. Unable to escape them, he and Lift devise a strategy to fool them. With the help of Shallan, they allow the Fused to recapture what they believe to be the gemstone; in reality it is merely a cut rock with one of Shallan's illusions over it.{{book ref|sa3|120}} Szeth sees Dalinar within the mists and knows he cannot withstand it. Lift takes the gemstone and enters the mists after Dalinar.
