The massive stone guardian of the Shrine of Evil got down on one knee, saluted Val and declared, "I welcome this era's Devil God!"
Val's heart pounded in his chest as he observed this scene. He was a little overwhelmed to see a being as powerful as Gruul kneel before him. Still, he managed to maintain his composed exterior while internally his mind swirled with various thoughts about his newfound status and the responsibilities and troubles that it entailed.
"Rise," Val commanded, his voice echoing in the vastness of the Shrine of Evil.
At his words, Gruul swiftly rose to its feet, the sheer power emanating from it making the air in the shrine even more oppressive, and now, that power was at Val's disposal!
Despite his Emotional Impairment Trait, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"So, what's the next step for me to officially assume the title of Devil God?" Val asked, his eyes scanning Gruul's massive form.
