The moment the three evil gods appeared, the pressure around the throne changed instantly and completely.
Kael did not move from his seat.
He remained on the throne with his body still and his eyes half open but the crimson lines across him pulsed violently in a way that made the air around the throne feel unstable.
Streams of faith continued to pour into him from below and the power around him surged and destabilized at the same time, pulling in opposite directions like a rope being stretched from both ends.
He was not complete.
He was in the middle of ascension and that made him vulnerable in a way that all three of them clearly understood and had timed themselves around.
Peru moved first.
"Kekekekeke!"
His distorted body stretched forward and tore through space as he lunged toward the throne. His arm warped into a jagged mass of something that didn't follow normal physical rules and struck down toward Kael with crushing force that bent the space around it as it came.
