It doesn't help that he always succeeds in the stunts that he pulls off. He hasn't learned to restrain his impulses because he always gets away with his stunts. So the realm lord's confidence is true the roof. One might say it is supreme. Mother high heaven can only try to reason with him. In other words, she can only try and fail to reason with him.
He ignored her pessimistic attitude and grinned with anticipation. "This is going to be so cool."
He can't wait to create history and steal a continent. His excitement will not be dampened by mother high heaven's sour attitude.
The realm lord produced a golden orb in his hand with a dramatic flourish. Mother high heaven signed and refused to comment. She would like to ask why he is behaving like so but that will be encouraging him. If she is to discourage him from doing risky things then she must refuse to play along with his games.
The realm lord moved on with his act. He said dramatically with his arms spread wide. "Let there be light."
Then he tossed the orb onto the continent. The golden orb fell onto the land and sank into it. The entire continent suddenly began to glow with golden light. The golden light spread from the point where the golden orb landed to cover the entire continent. The immortal continent became a bright source of light in the void.
The light pushed away the darkness and illuminated the void. It was a beautiful sight. But someone else didn't appreciate the so-called beauty. The person also wasn't any about voicing their opinion.
A loud voice roared angrily, "Who is messing with my property?"
The inhabitants of the continent were startled and rose to the sky searching for the source of the disturbance. The owner of the continent shouted in fury before appearing. His loud voice heralded his coming and informed everyone of how angry he is about the recent development of the immortal continent.
A humanoid flame appeared above the continent. The humanoid flame asked the question that is in everyone's mind. "Who is the mad person that wants to face the wrath of Hancock?"
This entity, made of blue fire, is scanning the large continent trying to find the person messing with his property. The entire continent is his and has been his for millions of years. He has managed to defend it all this while. No one has been able to dislodge him from the continent so whoever is messing with him must be mad. No one in their right mind will mess with him.
The realm lord snickered. He said to mother high heaven, "Look at him. He is like a fool. He can't even find me and you dare to call him my equal."
The realm lord chose to make fun of the other guy without showing himself. It's not that he is afraid of the other realm lord, he just wants to watch the guy make a fool of himself. His fun only increased when the continent shook and began moving.
Hancock's flaming body shook with immense anger and indignation when he noticed the continent glowing. His body threatened to explode into an inferno there and then. He came out to determine who the offender is to flay them.
Nothing short of torture and dismemberment will pacify him. That all changed when the continent began moving. The flames on his body died down to reveal a white core which is Hancock's single eye. It is an involuntary act of shock that members of the race of Sparkon exhibit.
'Am I seeing things? Or is a world god around?' He asked himself.
He looked around warily. His courage has disappeared. The thoughts of the punishment he will inflict on the culprit disappeared and were replaced with a sense of dread. His survival instincts kicked in despite him being immortal and being a clone.
The continent moved. That's why he is so shocked and scared. It is not the gentle floating that it does but a quake caused by a sudden acceleration. The only entities that can shake and move an immortal continent are world gods. A world god spells some trouble even for him. So he called his father immediately.
His flames returned after calling for help and so did some of his confidence. He is still afraid but he has acquired some assurance. It is not a lot of confidence but it is enough to engage in a conversation with the unknown world god.
He shouted camly, "Which world god is it? You should maintain the dignity that your power deserves. Make yourself and your intentions known."
A powerful voice replied, "SCRAM. I'M TAKING THIS CONTINENT."
Hancock became angry immediately. The blue flames on his body burned brighter and he threatened to consume himself with them. He felt like screaming and swearing but he forced himself to speak calmly.
He asked slowly, "When does a world god steal? What will others think about this? Please don't embarrass yourself."
He is not scared for his life but he doesn't want his things on the continent to be taken. He worked really hard to get them and it took a long amount of time to accumulate. This continent contains at least a million years' worth of accumulation. It will hurt him a lot to lose his wealth and the continent.
Losing the continent is bad enough. He will have to wage a war to get another one. That will be very costly and may not be successful for a long time. Continents aren't just lying around waiting for owners anymore. The wealth he has on this continent will help him in funding the war to acquire another continent. So yes, he would very much appreciate it if this world god decides not to embarrass themselves by stealing from him.
"WHO CARES WHAT YOU THINK? SCRAM BEFORE I KILL YOU." Unfortunately, this world is filled with condescending pride. The unknown world god has no intention of being reasonable at all.
