The world god is impressed with his act of stealing a continent but the voice of the world god is not pleasant to listen to. It feels like volcanoes exploding in the mind or like thunderclaps in the ear with each syllable. Weak Origin gods will cower just by hearing it. The voice of the world god will push their minds towards madness.
Monarch high heaven is clearly not weak. He might also be too mad to get madder. He adjusted his attire before he spoke.
He said smugly, "I must say that you are a world god with taste. My partner here doesn't appreciate my genius."
Mother high heaven scoffed. The fact that the world god found his actions to be impressive doesn't mean that they are safe.
The world god watched their interaction with mild interest. He can see mother heaven but most of his attention is on the small object in the realm lord's hands. It is what the continent has become.
He made his interest known. "Let me see what you have there."
The realm lord politely declined. "I'm sorry I can't do that. I have always had problems with sharing. It is a bad habit that I have not been able to overcome."
The world god chuckled with amusement. "Interesting. You should do something about your sharing problem. But that's for another time. As for now, I wasn't asking for it. I was demanding it. So hand it over."
He could kill the realm lord outright but he has to respect someone that is about to become a world god too especially since this is just an avatar of the realm lord. So he demanded for the shrunken continent nicely. If it were the main body of the realm lord, he will imprison it for life. Since he can't deal lasting damage to the elf, he might as well be courteous about it.
The elf shook his head apologetically. "I'm sorry but I can't give it to you even for a moment to check it out. My inability to share is truly a sickness. I can't share for the sake of my life. You will have to take it yourself."
Hancock said excitedly. "You're mad."
He thought the elf would be reasonable and that his fun will be cut short but it seems he overestimated the self-preservation instincts of the elf. The elf's refusal delighted him very well. He could hardly wait for monarch high heaven to be taught a lesson.
The world god's voice rumbled as it said, "So be it." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
It stretched forth its large plane size hand to grab the realm lord. The hand covered the realm lord like an artificial sky and then it came smashing downward. The realm lord responded to the threat. He threw the small landmass at the hand.
The world god was surprised by the action. He doesn't expect the elf to give up his prize so easily which means something must be up. But he isn't worried. Strength reigns supreme. Nothing else matters. He doubts that anything significant can come out of the elf's actions but if the elf is strong enough to escape him then so be it.
There was a loud crash as the hand collided with the small almost insignificant object. The large hand was knocked back. The small object hit it with enough force to shatter a plane so the hand was rebuffed. But the hand succeeded in grabbing the small object too.
The world god pulled his hand back. It considered the situation and was intrigued. "This is interesting." It said as it examined the small continent.
The continent tried to return to the elf but it can't escape the grip of the world god. The massive hand of the world god has encompassed it and is not letting go despite the incessant tugging of the continent. So the realm lord instructed it to increase in size.
The small object began to enlarge, trying to reach its former size. It grew from a small rock into a continent in almost an instant. The expansion is almost like an explosion. The world god had to let go of it after it grew too big to hold.
The world god clapped with two of his four hands. "Wonderful. You have gained total control of the immortal continent. Now I see how you were able to steal it."
He clapped to express how impressed he is with the realm lord. The clap also created an immense force that pushed the expanding continent far away from their position.
The world god watched the continent as it was blown away before he said to the realm lord. "What now? I hope you have more up your sleeve or I'll kill you now."
The realm lord can recall the continent but it is going to take time before it gets here. He will be able to crush the elf before then. Even if it gets here, the world god has four hands. It can use one hand to keep the continent busy while it uses the others to deal with the elf and he hasn't even gotten serious yet. Brute force is the weakest thing that he can use against an Origin god.
The realm lord remained composed. He asked his captor, "Aren't you impressed?"
"I am." The world god admitted. "I said that already. Now I want the continent."
The realm lord continued. "No one has ever been able to control an immortal continent but I gained control of the continent through Authority. You must have heard rumors of my project."
"Hmm. I have but I thought it to be far-fetched."
The world god has indeed heard of the madman's project. It was supposed to be foolishness. No one has been able to do it. Only the elusive rank above that of world gods have kept the ability to themselves but an origin god claimed he could do the same and he is saying he can give others too. It seems there is some truth to the matter.
