As Damien's respect disappeared, the Dark God became more manic.
And as he became more manic, he became more powerful.
Damien had the upper hand for a second there, but the Dark God took it back almost instantly.
He pushed him back and forced him into a corner. Damien's energy was special because it could be used very precisely, but it took time to make the necessary calculations.
That amount of time wasn't much at all, but the Dark God was able to prevent Damien from having even a single fraction of a fraction of a spark of a second to think. Using pure volume to overcome any and all obstacles, he created a situation where he held a great advantage.
Damien's memories made him feel endless envy, but he watched them all. He understood the core of Damien's existence extremely well. The problem was that it wasn't very easy to target.
