With the Empowered Godsbane Blade in your inventory, elect to fight the Dragon during the final Legacy quest. You will fly on the Dragon to the final fight arena after choosing this option, but you maintain control of your character while riding the Dragon. During your flight with the Dragon, pull out the Empowered Godsbane Blade, crawl towards its glowing red heart, and follow the prompt to use the blade, which will end up making you use the blade on yourself.
