When Han Dong stood face-to-face with the Supreme Being whom the Deep-Ones called "Father God,"
there was something he did not know.
At present, the entire Deep Sea had been affected in a bizarre and malignant way by his ascension to kingship, to the point that Cthulhu had to personally intervene and suppress it.
"Astronomical Phenomenon."
When an individual ascended to kingship, the initial emergence of their King Domain would inevitably trigger a series of changes in the Outside World.
Just as when Pop ascended to kingship within the Celaino Grand Library,
a brilliant pillar of starlight had shot straight into the heavens, even piercing through the Shattered Dimension to form a bright "signal beacon"... Stars revolved normally around the pillar, stabilizing the surrounding dimensional space and allowing the laws of a normal universe to function.
Han Dong had likewise triggered an astronomical phenomenon upon ascending to kingship.
It simply had not been as obvious as Pop's. There had been neither a pillar of light piercing the sky nor wildly spreading gray mist... Instead, it invisibly affected every corner of the area where he currently was.
The bizarre phenomenon directly affected Cthulhu's domain—the Deep Sea.
When Han Dong "ascended to kingship" in The Depths of the Dead Sea, a "balloon rain" descended upon the Deep Sea.

1. Black Balloons fell at extreme speed. Any Deep-One that touched one would immediately suffer death corrosion, an effect comparable to burying the individual in a Dead Sea graveyard.
Infected beings at the Ancestral Body level or below could instantly Transform Into a pile of Black Sand without sufficient protective measures.
2. Red Balloons fell at varying speeds, sometimes even tracing bizarre arcs through the water.
