"Entire peoples, entire civilisations, ours to hunt and despoil, then return to unreality so that we can do it all again tomorrow! I almost wish we'd never bothered raiding the past, but alas, I didn't know this was possible. Such a glorious pleasure it will be!"
I sigh, and look at Artemis who is in turn looking at me expectantly.
"Yeah. Okay."
I raise my left hand, orange power ring shining brilliantly, and brand him.
Oh Melmoth, you were doing so well.
If you'd just kept your murderboner in your pants until they'd left...
Alas.
Edit: i would expect that Grayven could generate a single spark of orange to at least open his subspace pocket, via his own Godhead.
He's standing atop he planet that he conquered. He should have enough of a connection to his desires and his divine portfolio to do something.
Greed and possessiveness over the world that he conquered granting just that tiny spark of power to pull his lantern out and get a proper recharge.
It just never worked before because the vampire sun would eat it as soon as it was generated.
And it has to happen off-screen so that the branding can come as a surprise at the end of this chapter.
The problem with this explanation is that the line at the end of the last chapter makes it clear that Grayven doesn't have any way to generate orange juice on his own, and because he suggested going to another city to begin the project to maybe eventually recharge one of his rings.
Which brings up the time issues.
Remove that portion of last chapter and slot in something three or so chapters ago where he mentions trying and failing to generate Orange Light on his own. (or rather, tries and succeeds but it's drained before he can use it)
And suddenly him regaining use of his rings as soon as the vampire sun is gone is well foreshadowed and makes sense.
