The cloaked man scowled at Solomon, his words as empty as the stars around them. Solomon's mention of the Pantheon only served to further exacerbate the deity's anger. To speak their names so freely was a complete departure of tradition and how the first humans Marduk created addressed the God of Justice. There was no reverence, no respect given - not even a bow at the mention. The scowled deepened at the lack of respect shown, more proof of what he had just mentioned.
Further it? Look around you, the opposite has occurred. When Marduk created Man, they were created to watch this planet and honor his creation - the very opposite has happened. Life is no longer sacred, you kill for sport in this Witchwood arena of yours. Chakra has stained this land, it's potent stench has corrupted even the animals of this world. Bent to these "ninja" wills, they're forced to battle and kill and maim one another instead of living amongst people how it was intended.
Irkalla, the very home of souls, has been raided on your orders - a raid with lasting consequences. I have seen what happens after this, the dangers that follow. The evils that lay watching. If it were not for your hand, all of this would be of little consequence. I ask you again, you seek to further it? The lies care not who tell them, Solomon.
The natural order Marduk wished for is not the way this world is. You've had a chance to guide this world, better it as hoped. Prevent decades and centuries of evil - to save both Irkalla and Eanna, but what have you done? In your 800 years of life, what did you do to prevent Imeroth and his growing army of allies? Even now, Imeroth's own champions seek to return the Mother to this realm and your resolve is to sit idly?"
The man lowered his cloak, the familiar purple eyes Solomon had witnessed so many times before piercing into his own eyes. The pale white face glared at the Mage King as he spoke.
"Why should I believe you now?"
As he spoke, the being's presence continued to weigh on Solomon, feeling as if gravity had increased tremendously in seconds. His cloak was lowered and the very same cyan sand that spiraled with him continued to spiral around his outstretched hand, appearing similar in nature to a Rasengan but composed of thousands fragments of sand. Raising his hand high, the spiraling sand grew in size and power, easily eclipsing the two of them as it rose high above the two.
"Why shouldn't I smite you where you stand now?"
