there is no way to convince you otherwise and not even an attempt to see the other side.
... from the "side" that shows no attempt to understand the other side either, lol.

Can you guys really not understand how random/arbitrary/meaningless the whole scene is?

- hero party wanders around
- powerful entity appears
- "kills" hero without listening to anything but "man-god"
- screen fades to black
- hero is alive
- explanation: powerful entity healed him
- why: because powerful entity LISTENED.
- the end

Whether or not you liked the scene, is it that hard to see why others didn't like it? For me, it's a stereotypical shounen scene (Ryll's Bleach comparison is perfect) where something significant happens, but then it actually didn't happen, because the author knows that he'd have to rewrite the whole story. It's just a boring ass "cool, strong guy strikes down hero with much violence!" scene that has no consequence afterwards (spare me your "Eris has a trauma now and Rudy will be more careful from now" excuses).

Again, outcomes that would have made the scene much better imo:
- someone else appearing and healing Rudy (Roxy, his mom, Sylphie, a new character, maybe Eris exhausting herself and healing him, anyone)
- Rudy actually dying, man-god giving him another body (someone who's already 12 yo or so) and going back. Having to prove to Eris and Ruijierd that it's really him. Would have been fun and interesting. And it would have given actual significance to Orsted's attack: Now it'd truly appear as if Rudy is some freakish man-god apostle.
- the worst option, but still better than what we got: Rudy getting his shit together and showing what his magic is really capable of.

What we got, however, was random whatever.
