"You want to become a *demon god*?" Mike's voice was thick with disbelief.
Poseidon retorted. "Can't I be a demon god? Don't I look the part?"
Mike was speechless. From a moral standpoint, Poseidon was certainly no benevolent deity, his actions often leaning towards chaotic evil. Still, Mike couldn't grasp what Poseidon stood to gain.
Poseidon realized he needed to explain himself to get past this hurdle. He had prepared extensively for this conversation, even going to great lengths to acquire, at exorbitant cost through the Mystic Market, a personality analysis report on Thor. Of course, the sale of such reports was authorized by Thor himself. Through this report, Poseidon had gained insight into Thor's character and formulated his persuasion strategy.
"As I mentioned, the Tower of Truth was created by 'Truth,' with the Nine Races responding, and eventually, all races participating."
