Hancock didn't bother to rein in his anger any longer. He has tried to be reasonable but this world god is looking down on him too much. He is a realm lord after all. He deserves a modicum of respect. He has had enough of being disregarded and disrespected.
He yelled to the void for all to hear. "You shitty bully. If you were so great why didn't you come and attack me in my realm? I would have kicked your ass. Just you wait. I'll be back and I'll come with my father. We'll see what you can do then. I will spread this news to everyone once my father discovers who you are. I'll shame you. I'll drag your name through the mud."
He lost his fear of the world god because this is just his avatar and killing it will not mean much to him. Losing his continent will hurt though. So he vowed revenge. His father is a world god too and no matter what, the continent is going nowhere.
The continent can only be pushed around in the void. It cannot be taken away and it cannot disappear so it will always be found. He will come back with his father and then exact his revenge. He lied about being able to kick the world god's ass in his realm but his father will surely be able to help him get revenge.
Meanwhile, the realm lord is laughing. It is a full-body laugh of complete amusement. He is enjoying himself immensely.
He said to mother heaven. "See that? His confidence is in his father not in his own strength. What a weakling. And you compared him to me. It is an insult."
Mother high heaven isn't feeling good on the other hand. She asked him in shock. "His father is a world god?"
"Yes, his father is a world god. You didn't know about it?" He asked as if it doesn't matter. "You should go out more. It isn't good to be a closet person."
Of course, she doesn't know about the fact that the person they are stealing from is not only a realm lord but he also has a world god as a father. She doesn't have access to the upper realm because she can't leave the realm of high heaven. Her presence here is only because of the realm lord. This is not his main body and there are several of his avatars doing other things.
There is so much she doesn't know about the upper realm but her ignorance is irrelevant here. It is Monarch high heaven that should know better than to anger another realm lord who happens to have a world god for a father. And yet, he did it with full knowledge of who he is angering. He is also having a good time while doing it. What must be going through his mind?
"Are you serious?" She asked after reeling from the absurdity of the situation.
"Yes, I am. His father is a world god. What about it?" He asked nonchalantly.
She just shook her head and lamented. "Here I thought we were making a powerful enemy. I didn't know that we were making two powerful enemies. Silly me."
He said confidently. "Don't worry. I know what I am doing."
"Is this about your Authority? Shouldn't you test it first before you test fate? You shouldn't mess with something so serious unless you're sure."
He extolled her, "And what fun is it if I test it in safe conditions? The true test of power is in the thick of battle."
He shook his head at her naivety.
"I see." She said with resignation.
Then she asked hopefully, "Will you at least apologize to them if your test fails?"
She doesn't think an apology will suffice after they tried to steal a continent but she will take anything at this point.
The realm lord waved her concerns away. "Don't you worry about a thing. We won't fail."
She would like to say more but she knows it will be useless. You can't expect common sense from him just like you can't expect a hunchback to straighten their back. The back of a hunchback is stubbornly bent and Monarch high heaven is stubbornly mad. So she resigned herself to watch. That's all she can do at this point.
The continent was floating towards them. It began to shrink when it came close to them. Golden chains spang out of the continent and entered the realm lord's body. The golden chains pulled them together as the continent shrank. This development also revealed his position.
Hancock had been shocked again by the golden chains and the shrinking of the continent. Then he saw the high elf. He knows that particular high elf. If he had combustible eyes, they would have exploded in shock. His single eye which functioned as his core did a perfect imitation of the explosion. Hancock suddenly expanded. His fury turned his blue flames a shade of purple.
"It's you." He roared.
His voice is filled with the venom and wrath he is currently feeling. He would like nothing more than to strip the elf of its flesh bit by bit and eat those bits as he watches the elf scream in pain.
The realm lord whispered to mother high heaven. "We've been made. Don't worry. I've got this."
Then he waved at the balloon of purple flames. "Hi, Hancock. It's me. How have you been?"
Hancock shouted. "You madman."
This insane elf had the leisure to ask about his well-being. They aren't friends and the elf is stealing from him, yet he has the guts to wave cheerily at him. It is one insult after the other.
He would have preferred to have a world god here. Anything is better than trouble from the madman. He doesn't know exactly what the elf is up to but he knows it can't be good and it involves his wealth. So he will not let the elf succeed or his name is not Hancock Fledger Dsantun Jkallop Xanvirb Ultito Sendarizo... and 72 other names.
