Four simultaneous expensive and exhausting strikes, delivered with extreme calculation, striking where not many gods can see, destroying four key pieces whose encrypted nature is that they are the true center of Zon-Kuthon, landing just as the vault door is almost sealed shut.

It is possible that this will kill Zon-Kuthon.

It is also possible that Dou-Bral is still in there somewhere, and will be able to free Himself at last.

Either way, the process will take a while.  Nobody is liable to notice, or reason through that it wasn't just a result of divine combat, if Zon-Kuthon's clerics lose only their ninth-circle spells at first.  It will be longer yet before His clerics lose their eight-circle spells as well.

It's going to hurt Zon-Kuthon the entire time He's dying, which isn't particularly desirable, but is also an acceptable price to pay.
