"Are you even worthy of making me violate the laws and personally bring down divine punishment?"
High above, Poseidon's towering phantom lowered his gaze, a cold sneer on his face.
His voice carried the contempt of someone gazing down at sludge from the highest heavens.
This was a god.
Lofty and supreme, he regarded all living beings as ants.
Yet when those undisguised words of truth reached Wue's ears, they became the most vicious, piercing provocation in the world.
"Creak! Creak!"
Wue's jaws ground together like mad, its sharp teeth scraping out a grating sound that made the scalp crawl.
In its scarlet beast eyes, rage almost solidified into molten lava, ready to erupt.
It was convinced that Poseidon was toying with it!

Underhanded!
Hypocritical to the extreme!
"Poseidon! You've gone too far!"
The furious roar tore through the Burial Sea's deathly silence.
Wue's enormous body thrashed violently, raising towering, dark-red waves.
"Since you broke the rules first and personally stepped in to cut off my escape, even if a true god descends today, I'll tear a piece of flesh from your body!"

Wue's reason collapsed.
It no longer cared whether offending a god would end in the annihilation
