A relic containing the bound soul of the Corrupted Deity Nunax.
This was an item that Skullius had managed to acquire from Aurolio as a generous addition to the information the pale man offered to give the Hybrid Luman in exchange for his services at acquiring the souls of Null creatures.
Skullius vividly rembered VOW showing up out of nowhere, and even forcibly using his to advise him not to take the relic lightly.
Well, Skullius would have never dread of it, honestly.
The word Deity was deterrent enough.
Well, it had been enough back then.
Right now, he was casually facing a Deity in an odd world of their making while holding another Deity in his hand, a curious smile on his face.
Luserus couldn't seem to find what was so amusing about this ordeal, this last wish.
His tone was eerily cold, urgent and suspiciously careful.
"That's not really any of your business, is it?" Skullius said, much to the unsubtle rumbling in the sky; a sign of ruffled, divine feathers.
"I wonder, are you capable of subjugating other Deities? If you are, that would be very handy."
There was a nasty bit of silence.
What?
What now?
"You're underestimating what you're holding," Serenity was the one to answer first with a strict tone. "I can tell that you don't have the slightest idea what a Corrupted Deity is. After comnding your forethought before, I'm surprised to find that you have enough stupidity to skim over sothing so important!"
Hearing Serenity's voice rise with blatant warning was a first for Skullius. Her fla body even flared lightly, temporarily turning burly with her outrage before fizzling back into a pitiable wisp with limbs.
Skullius gave her a sharp glance.
"What does it matter if its Corrupted or not? The fact of the matter is that it is trapped under effective conditions, with quite the tedious way to subjugate it that I'm not quite ready to trust yet. Even if the thod is tried and true, I'd rather opt for a safer alternative," he said before turning back to Luserus. "Thus, I ask again, Luserus, are you capable of subjugating another Deity. One that's already sealed."
There was continued silence from the horizon.
The Deity diluted into the very world he had made only answered after Serenity had emitted an audible grumble of frustration.
