The Phase King and its subjects had gone completely mad!
Ves had accomplished an unprecedented feat.
He had utterly provoked and attracted the undying hatred of not just one, but two powerful king fishes in a single day!
It was as if Ves possessed a talent for infuriating aliens.
The reason why he managed to piss off both kings was because he touched both of their bottom lines.
The Hive King's greatest source of power was its ability to control millions of Swarmer fish-whales.
The Everchanger's earlier stunt with the Titania's glow had caused this unseen king fish to feel an unprecedented threat to the foundation of its rule, so it was not a surprise that it reacted so poorly!
