Adolphus' death was a massive blow to the remaining three Great Perfection deities. Given their Great Perfection statuses, even Chief Gods would treat them courteously.
It was a different story for Meng Lei, who wanted them to surrender to him. Objections? Immediate death!
That was brutality at its peak!
Still, to be fair, this cruel treatment's effects were well received as Marshall, Burnside, and Roald were petrified.
As Great Perfection deities, they stood above most deities and enjoyed a lofty status, possessing eternal life. Who would want to die?
No one!
Yet, forcing them to hand over their divine spirit origin energy to become Meng Lei's slaves was more unacceptable than killing them.
Even if I die, get smashed into pieces, or perish in this Boundless Plane, I won't lower myself to become his slave!
