"Every race has their own take on the very beginning of the universe, though all those different theories have been continually altered and refined as they improve their thaumaturgical and/or technological methods which, in turn, allows them greater access into the inner workings of our reality.

"One common theme underlying all theories and myths is the existence of one or more great, primordial divine being who came into existence around the birth of our universe. For instance, the dwarves (who insist on calling it the "Great Big Kablooie") believe that some "great flaming rooster" heralded the creation of all things with a delighted crowing, whereupon it fried itself to provide a feast for the soon-to-be-awakened dwarven god. Meanwhile, elven legend talks of a similar creature, a glorious, beautiful firebird, which did battle against the avatar of stupidity and thus saved all sentient life from being dumber than a sack of bricks.

"While everyone has a general sense of the mythical god-being's classification- some sort of fiery, avian creature- no one knows exactly what its name is, due to the untranslatable nature of its great voice, echoes of which may still be heard in the depths of the universe today.

"However, in recent years, the humans have insisted (with rising panic) that they have translated its name, using the dialect of some uncivilized monster-class race. The scholars of the human kingdoms were summarily laughed out of the scientific community..."

>Halfway through a turn...
>[X] [SPHERE] Examine Oiwotsmilk's sphere. It's certainly a nice gift, innit?
>[X] [CALL] Try calling out to anyone else!

As the surrounding universe returns to its calmer, not-fiery ambiance, Gubbins glances down at the sphere in his hands, a parting gift from the great god-phoenix Oiwotsmilk.

Cracked and leathery, veins of pulsing-red lava visible all along its blackened surface, the sphere resembles nothing more than some big toasted marshmallow that had just finished catching on fire. By all rights, it should be burning a hole through the short ogre's leathery hands right now, but Gubbins doesn't feel much other than a pervading warmth- and the ever-present scent of magic from this thing, inert as it is.

... maybe he could eat it? That way, he'll know if it's edible or not. Or he could pump it full of magic to see what happens, which is ALWAYS a sensible idea that couldn't ever lead to anything bad happening.

Gubbins shoves that thought aside for now, because he's got more pressing matters to worry about! The ogre stows the egg into his inventory before taking a deep breath- and then belting out his question at the top of his lungs.

"OI! SO DOES ANYONE ELSE OUT HERE KNOW WOT MILK IS, OR NOT?"

(Cont.)
>>
>>30531075
His words barely have time to begin echoing through the cosmos before he senses a presence trundling up behind him. Gubbins blinks as another nondescript ogre approaches him, finding absolutely nothing strange about the presence of an ogre in the cold reaches of space, eons before the development of any sentient life. Because really, it stands to reason, don't it? Everytime you get an ogre, there's never another one far behind.

"Sorry, boss," the new arrival says apologetically, scratching his head in confusion. "Just got here myself."

Gubbins sighs. "Dang. No dice, huh?"

"Nope. Can I go now, boss? I'm hungry."

Gubbins shrugs and waves him away. The other ogre promptly starts walking through space, moving inexorably toward the nearest inhabitable planet in the galaxy, never to be seen again until some millions of years later. But that's a story for another time, and Gubbins doesn't have nearly enough patience to deal with that. He's an ogre on a mission!

Right. Well, it's certainly not time to muck around. Boss Bawss Fistboss needs to know the location of the dwarflands so he can put it on The Map, therefore saving the dwarves from the clutches of the kobolds!

Gubbins takes one last look at the breathtakingly young cosmos around him before channeling his magic, his eyes glowing a bright golden yellow as he wrassles with time and reality. It's not long before he's able to grab one edge of the universe and pull downward, revealing a portal full of the stuff of chaos. Once he steps in, everything simply ceases to adhere to any rule of logic and/or physics, but the ogre simply swims through the nothingness until his hands find something to hold onto.

Magic is an imprecise art. Doubly so, when it's being cast in the most freeform and confusing manner possible. Gubbins steps out of his portal and is immediately assaulted not by the freezing air of the dwarven mountains or the muffled ambiance of the underground world-

Rather, there's the scent of kobolds.

The master geomancer quickly hides behind a nearby stalagmite and extends his senses outward. As far as he can tell, he's in some sort of cave, fairly close to the surface; this particular cave stands alone, not connecting to any dwarven tunnels or anything of the sort. There's the sound of dozens of claws skittering around him, and he can hear the sibilant, hissing murmurs of many kobolds as they discuss something among themselves.

>[X] [PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE MAGIC] Distract the kobolds with geomancy, then take a look and a listen!

Gubbins frowns. This is- yeah, this is totally important stuff, right here. The kobolds are most likely strategizing... stuff. Important stuff. World-conquering stuff! Stuff that Boss Bawss Fistboss needs to know, 'cause he's gonna help the dwarves not get krumped by the kobolds! And that means Gubbins can't hold back, not any longer.

About fifteen seconds later, one of the kobolds on guard duty pauses in his patrol, staring at one of the stalagmites near the cavern entrance. The reptilian humanoid immediately tenses up as he sees movement, his tailing lashing once, twice as he reaches for his combat knife. The unspoken signal alerts his squadmate, and they both sneak over to the disturbance.

Immediately, the stalagmite, age-old rock formed by mineral deposits over impossibly long periods of time, suddenly becomes as fluid as putty, morphing as if molded by some invisible artist's hands. It ignores the sudden hisses from the kobolds or their drawn weapons, gradually turning into-

There's a long, drawn-out moment of silence as the kobolds stare at the stalagmite's final, slightly jiggly form. And then they stare at each other. Eventually, one of the kobolds breaks the silence.

"... so... is this one of the things we're supposed to get the squadron leader for?"

The second kobold scratches his head. "Hell if I know. Still, THIS sure as hell can't be 'just as planned,' can it?"

"I know, I know. But-"

The reshaped stalagmite suddenly chuckles, startling both guards. "Hehehe. Hehehe, you said- you said 'butt.' Ehehehe-"

"Zz'gha," the second kobold growls. "It's a goddamn talking /butt/-"

"Eheheheh-"

"- shaped out of rock. If this doesn't require his attention, I don't know WHAT the fuck does. I'm gonna go get him, you stay here."

The first guard's eyes widen, and he shakes his head frantically. "What!? Hell no, you're not leaving me alone with this... this thing!"

"But-"

"EHEHEHE-"

A larger kobold stomps out toward the guards, his lips pulled back in a silent snarl. "ALRIGHT, what's all this racket about!? Zz'gha, Vv'awk, you'd better have one hell of an explanation for this! You're going to bring the mountain down around us in no time!"

"S-Sir!" Both guards squeak and salute. "It's this- this thing, it's- sir, it's a talking rock butt-"

"EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE YOU SAID BUUUUTT-"

"Goddamn, I don't care what your pet THING is, you're shutting it up right now, you hear me??"

"But sir-"

"BUUUUUUTTSSSSS-"

... back in the cave, Gubbins quietly fists-pumps to himself as most of the kobolds start looking over toward the entrance, some of them abandoning their posts to peer out at the magic phenomenon. Eyes still glowing yellow, he quickly tiptoes over toward those few groups that are still talking among themselves...

[A] [SERIOUS] Peek in on the group of robed kobolds clustered around a table, examining various documents. They look pretty smart, maybe they're planning something.

>[X] [DIG-DUG] Carve out tunnels underneath all three groups and listen in to all of them at once!
>75(+30) - ... WELL THEN

Gubbins doesn't even pause to THINK about which group he should listen to. Seriously, he is a master mage of the ground, time, and also gibbering images of butts that also happen to heal things! Why's he gotta be bound down by logic and rational decision-making, huh? He's got enough sparkly cool magics to get ALL the information, enough to make Boss Bawss Fistboss sit down with his chin on his hand and do that awesome thing where he thinks of things and the consequences of things! It'll be absolutely amazing!

Once again, his eyes begin glowing a brilliant golden shade as he quietly becomes one with the ground underneath his feet, sinking into the rocky cavern floor as if it were quicksand. Once he's cocooned within the earth's embrace, Gubbins focuses his magic and digs out small tunnels leading from his ears up into the cavern, fashioning them into hearing tubes- one near each of the three groups, close enough to hear them.

After a moment's thought, he adds earthen eyes to the tips of nearby stalagmites, allowing him full vision of the ongoing conversations above him. The heavily-armored group of kobolds, clad in metal that DOESN'T look like patchwork, is the easiest to hear, their voices gruffer and lower than those of their brethren.

"- don't know what's coming to 'em. Almost enough to make you feel sorry for 'em, huh?"

"Almost." The other soldier flicks his tail. "Don't get cocky, though. We got lucky with the humans. Groundlings know tunnels and warrens like the back of their grubby hands, so they'll come out swinging and hollering."

"Hah! No wonder we're going all scorched earth on 'em. Trap elementals, dimension rifts, railroading- the works."

The soldier's eyes seem to sparkle. "And then we're gonna space 'em?"

There's a nod in response. "And then we're gonna space 'em."

Their conversation fades into silent muttering and weapons-sharpening, so Gubbins focuses on the next group. The whispers of the robed kobolds filter into his ears next...

"- this quadrant, then the next one," the speaker intones, jabbing a clawed finger at the parchment in the center of the table. "We'll pass over the ones we can't warp warrens into."

"An initial bombardment of spacing? Good call. What of quadrant 356's throne room? We can't just space THAT, that would remove the whole point."

A third robed kobold raises one hand. "Might I suggest Squad Dracolich for that?"

"I just said, we can't warp soldiers directly into those rooms."

"Just put them in the adjacent warrens." A claw is jabbed into the parchment again. "This squad, they're VERY good at shock and awe."

"Good. We need those tomes at all costs... Just As Planned, gentlemen."

The entire group pauses to murmur as one, "Just As Planned."

Down in his earthen cocoon, Gubbins frowns in confusion. He understood, like, maybe half of what they were saying. Still, he commits it to memory the best he can, before turning to the final group of kobolds dressed in patchy leather armor, huddled over what appear to be books of some kind...

"Gods above. Look at that... that! Are they really doing that!?"

"S-So lewd I'm gonna explode!"

Gubbins frowns and accesses the earthen eye closest to these kobolds. Their books seem to be filled with strange crude drawings of... extremely stylized kobolds, drawn so that their edges are rounded and adorable, with nary a scale or fanged tooth in sight.

"M-Moai!"

"Shhh! Squad leader's right outside, he'll take this away!"

"Why is Hs'sna-tan such the best girl?"

>"hs'sna-tan best girl"
>"not kz'zan"

"Say that to my snout, fucker-"

"Guys, calm down, you're both wrong, Gha'zgh is the best-"

Gubbins closes the ear-tube as the conversation quickly dissolves into angry bickering and tail-pulling. He crosses his arms and frowns, trying to figure out his next step- oh. Right.

Back outside, the kobold commander and his two guards stop trying to kick the animate rocky butt to death when it suddenly forms a mouth on one buttcheek and pipes up in a surprisingly deep voice.

"OI! WOT'S MILK???"

The three decidedly non-mammalian kobolds look at each other, blinking in confusion. One of the guards is the first to speak up.

"Um... isn't it, like, that horrible things humans do to feed-"

"Wrong, soldier!" The commander snarls. "It's the most dreaded torture tactic the elves have to date! They grab your snout, then they start peeling off each scale bit by bit, and-"

"But that's-"

"EHEHEHEHHEHHEHE-"

"Oh my GODS, will SOMEONE shut this thing up?!"

Gubbins sighs in disappointment as the kobolds finally succeed in destroying the talking butt statue. Looks like he wasn't able to get the information he needed, not this time. The ogre doesn't have THAT much magic juice left in him, he's not entirely sure how much more he can dawdle through time without, you know. Things happening to him. Or to the universe.

Now, what should he do with the other non-milk information...?

Despite being slaughtered by the hundreds, despite being exiled to a realm beyond space and time, the Kobolds have managed to progress their culture to involve cheap mass entertainment in the form of manga and inspire neckbearded soldiers.

Well, Boss Bawss needs this information. Like, REALLY needs this information. And Gubbins is completely uninhibited in many respects, but he knows enough to realize that his mind probably isn't the sharpest crayon in the lighthouse. Probably less so, given how much magic he pumps through it on a regular basis. So Gubbins isn't sure exactly how much of all these conversations he can remember, ESPECIALLY when he's already racking his brain meats to figure out this whole milk thing.

It's only a short while later that the shorter ogre's eyes brighten up as he comes up with the most PERFECT plan ever.

Each and every kobold currently working in the cavern- and those returning from their short-lived viewing of The Butt That Talked- nearly jump right out of their scales when an ogre pulls itself out of the ground like some sort of big, blue, horrifying mole. The finely-trained warrior kobolds quickly pull their weapons, and within moments, Gubbins is surrounded by a circle of gleaming metal and/or magic staves.

"I don't know where you came from or why you're here, ogre, but you'd best stand down before you find yourself full of new breathing holes," the kobold commander snarls. "Now stand down!"

Gubbins frowns as he takes this in. "... nah. No thanks, I got 'nuff breathin' holes as it is." He taps his nose for emphasis, showing off his two big nostrils. "So anyway, you know all dat stuff you said 'bout plans an' spacin' and killin' and cute koboldy things? You think you could repeat 'em if asked?"

The commander's eye ridge twitches. "Not to the likes of you, ogre!"

"You will?? Great!" Gubbins claps his hands together cheerfully. "I got a LOTTA friends back home who'd be totally happy to hear dat! Shazam!"

"Wait, wha-"

As usual for these sorts of mornings, Celicia crawls up to a sitting position and stares blearily into nothingness, waiting for her brain to finish booting up. After a few minutes of spacing out, she swings herself up out of bed to stand at her window, peering out from Daphnaia's boughs into the desert below.

The most coherent thought in her mind right now is basically "thank fucking god the ogres pulled Ogir Place to a standing position (and by extension, Daphnaia)." It had been absolute murder to try sleeping in a bed perpendicular to the ground, and-

Celicia blinks as, a few feet from Ogir Place's big stone feet, a giant round rock falls screaming right out of the sky, the chorus of LITERAL screams cutting off as they land right on the desert sands. She leans against the windowsill and watches with a detached sort of interest as dozens of kobolds shakily leave the rock, some falling to their knees to empty out their meals, others catching sight of the huge oasis-golem and screaming back into their upended cave.

A few moments after THAT, she watches as dozens of ogres pour out of Ogir Place, all of them running right toward the kobolds while bellowing "HURRAH! NEW FRIENDS!" at the top of their lungs, eliciting another round of horrified screams from the unfortunate kobolds.

Celicia goes to pour herself her usual morning alcohol mixture, fully intent on watching the outcome of this little incident. Nowadays, there's ALWAYS something interesting to watch on Saturday mornings.

Back in a slightly more theoretical plane of existence, Gubbins grasps the unfortunate kobold commander in a friendly chokehold as they float through the reality rift opened up by the geomancer. "... an' I'll call you George an' you're gonna be a real good friend!"

"eeeee," the kobold commander manages as his face turns purple.

"But first... we're gonna map out da dwarflands! This'll be our first mission together!"

"eeeeee!?"

"Ahaha, yeah, we're gonna be da BEST of pals. And we're here!"

The kobold's eyes bug out even further as Gubbins deposits them right in the midst of the dwarven capital, standing in front of a small shop stall (the owner of which promptly drops his freshly-hewn dwarven bread, which falls with enough mass and speed to shatter the stone floor).

"I would like one map of da entire dorflands, please," Gubbins says cheerfully.

The dwarf gulps. Slowly, he reaches out and hands a rolled up parchment over, making no sudden moves. "Er... 'kay, lad. Here ya go. Now don't-"

"Aw, yeah! Thanks a bunch!" Gubbins sniffs the parchment and nods, looking pleased. "Yup, dat's a map, alright. Here's yer payment!"

Moments later, the unfortunate dwarf merchant stands alone in his stall, turning an unfortunate shade of green due to the large bag of steaming fresh ogre currency clutched in his hands.

Moments after THAT, Celicia nearly spittakes her drink when Gubbins appears right in her room, though she lowers her rifle once she realizes that it's just him. "Gubbins? Where have you BEEN, it's-"

"Map!" the geomancer crows triumphantly, thrusting it into Celicia's hands.

"E-Er, okay, but-"

"Important kobold guy!" he continues doggedly, thrusting the half-conscious commander into Celicia's hands.

"W-What!? Gubbins, where-"

"Sleep!" Gubbins finishes, going from upright and lucid to prone and snoring in the blink of an eye.

Celicia stands amidst the debris of Gubbins' chaotic return, though the silence is quickly broken by the kobold commander's whimpering.

"... yeah, I feel you," she grumps, shoving her morning alcohol over to the commander (who accepts it gratefully, chugs it all down, and then collapses in a weeping heap of almost-terminally-confused kobold).

Meanwhile, back in the dwarflands of the past, the dwarf merchant nearly retches when he FINALLY saw the contents of the ogre's payment to him, and is very nearly about to go and dispose of it in some form when he realizes that he is, once again, NOT alone in his shop.

"MILK!" Gubbins barks out, still half-asleep.

"H-Here you go!" The dwarf merchant all but throws the bottle of milk at the ogre, trying to hide behind himself and failing. "Please, lad, just don't give me no more of that-"

Moments later, the ogre is nowhere to be seen, and the dwarf merchant is kneeling on the floor, weeping into his hands as he's sandwiched between two rather large bags of ogre poop.

>STATUS REPORT:
On the plus side, it's not going to take very long to repair Ogir Place at all, not with the new methods that the ogres have ingeniously discovered! The oasis golem's legs are already repaired, and the arms and everything else should come along shortly.

Gubbins' mission was also a success- he found valuable information on the dwarflands' geographical stats, which will totally be used to save maliciously-destroyed dwarflands. He even went into the past and brought back an entire cabal of evil kobolds who were dead set on... maliciously destroying the dwarflands.

Needless to say, the aftereffects of Gubbins' little jaunt into time may be a little more far-reaching than anyone could predict.

Now, onto more news: Boss Bawss Fistboss should be waking up shortly! He no longer looks so pallid and kinda-deadish, but now there's credence to the ogres' insistence that he was just sleeping it off!

And almost as if to celebrate this fact, the mountains to the far west of the Scaratone Hives appear to be moving to farther westward, as if they just happened to grow legs and start walking! Also, the sun appears to be turning an angry shade of purple.

That's... that's all totally normal, right...?

The ogres have gotten a bit more used to working without the guidance of Boss Bawss Fistboss, who would normally prevent them from doing utterly stupid things (or, perhaps more accurately, funnel those utterly stupid things into works of pure and unintentional genius). The repairs to Ogir Place continue unabated, and its non-ogre inhabitants quickly got used to the constant, all-pervading sound of "ONE, TWO, LOTS" followed by dozens of stones cracking against each other.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the structural integrity of Ogir Place gets fixed VERY quickly. After all, it's just a matter of making stone grow back to its normal, unbroken state and size, right? Because that's totally how stone works. Utterly confident in their logical view of how (they think) the world works, the ogres soon make Ogir Place as whole and pristine(?) as it used to be.

Then, of course, comes the hard part.

Today, the ogre in charge of repairs stares up at Ogir Place, which stands as tall and proud as it ever did. The only catch? The deactivated weapons aren't working. Like, at all. And the oasis-golem can't even manage to hover more than a few feet off the ground; it's as if the Flightstone veins within are broken, somehow.

The ogre shakes his head, dismissing his worries and turning his frown upside-down as he faces the assembled ogre repair crews. "A-Alright, boys," he rumbles. "We're gonna start fixin' da place again, like we always do. Okay? Okay. So onna count of 'lots', we're all gonna hit our rocks together, okay? Okay. Here we go-"

"WAAAAAAAIT!"

Every ogre's head turns to watch as Gubbins jogs down from Ogir Place. "I GOT IT," the geomancer crows. "I know wot's wrong with Ogir Place's flyin' stuff! It's not Ogir Place dat's broken!"

The repair crew leader blinks, scrunching his face up in confused thought. "It... it ain't? But if Ogir Place's flyin' stuff ain't broken-"

"Yeah! Dat's exactly it!" Gubbins cracks his knuckles. "It's not Ogir Place dat's broken..."

* * *

"... Lockstock?"

The dwarven prince pulls himself out of the bowels of his team's giant drill machine, wiping the sweat off his brow before replying to Celicia. "Aye, lass?"

"I need a second opinion." Celicia points over to Ogir Place's feet. "What the hell are they doing?"

Lockstock squints out into the desert, watching as literally every ogre living in Ogir Place roars and yells as they run helter-skelter, slamming any weapon they can find at something close to the ground. "Well, if you asked ME, lass, it kinda looks like the lads are chasin' after some manner of intangible concept that shouldn't actually be able to be beaten to death."

"And?"

"And they're winnin'. Pretty handily, at that."

Celicia pinches the bridge of her nose. "... thank you, Lockstock. I think I'll- oh gods," she shrieks as she suddenly begins floating up into the air, unable to find any purchase in the ground.

"Looks like they won," Lockstock grunts, hanging onto his machine as the entire thing begins floating up into the air. "How 'bout that?"

"GODDAMMIT!" Celicia bellows out at the ogres, shaking her fist into the air. "WE NEEDED THAT GRAVITY, YOU GUYS!"

Gubbins briefly stops punching an invisible law-of-physics-that-may-or-may-not-be-punchable-right-now. "Don't worry! We're just comin' to an agreement! It'll come around soon enough!"

Five minutes later, gravity skulks away with its tail between its legs, thankful that it managed to retain its hold over most everything else in the universe; behind it, Ogir Place hovers serenely above the sands, finally free from the oppressive tyranny of physics and logic. "Great!" Gubbins rubs his hands together, his eyes gleaming only slightly sanely. "Wot's next?"

"Er... weapons an' stuff, boss," the repair crew leader replies calmly.

"Alright, done an' done! Let's just fix da Sandstorm Drill an' da Magmastorm Drill!"

All ogres in earshot have to pause for a moment to consider that. "... 'ere, I thought we only had one drill, did you just say-"

Gubbins' eyes are already golden. "CAN'T TALK, BUSY MAGICKING!" he howls, ridiculous amounts of magical energy coursing through his shorter body. Immediately, the winds pick up as the entire force of the Scouring Wastes' storms are once again lashed down to Ogir Place's right hand. And a towering inferno bursts out from the bowels of the earth to wrap itself around the oasis-golem's other hand, defying the laws of convection as it bubbles and boils mere inches away from the living areas on top of Ogir Place.

The repair crew leader grins uncertainly. "Gee, boss, dat looks really-"

"RUOUMOKO!" Gubbins stomps one foot against the ground, summoning one of the many demigods of earth and/or lava. Another minor eruption shakes the immediate area as a humanoid shaped from magma oozes out of the ground, nursing a divine icepack to his head as he groans.

[Goddammit, it's you guys again,] Ruoumoko groans, squinting blearily at the ogres assembled around him. [C'mon, man, piss off, it's only been like a day or so, I still got the biggest fucking hangover. You won't BELIEVE the party the other demigods threw for me-]

"You're moving in!" Gubbins says cheerfully.

There's a beat. [... where?]

The shorter ogre points to the empty chest cavity of Ogir Place, where an angry and rather unfortunate demon lord was once imprisoned. "In there!"

Ruoumoko shoots Gubbins a look. [Really? You want me to- what the hell's in it for me?]

Gubbins crosses his arms. And then he gives the demigod a huge shit-eating grin, waggling his eyebrows.

Later that day, a truly titanic stone spider stomps over the horizon, its body shining a baleful yellow as it catches the (purple?) sun. "Foolish brute-warriors!" the crackling, mildly-insane voice within bellows. "Did you honestly think you could rid yourself of me so easily? It is I, the Yellow Ant! I have come for a rematch against you, vile allies of those mewling Scaratones!"

The golem's eight legs slam into the ground with enough force to split the very earth itself; the Yellow Ant skillfully pilots the massive construction to stand in front of Ogir Place, preparing to unleash hell upon the defenseless, comparatively tiny ogres within. "Which of you dares to fight the Prophet of the Formichroma, and pave the path to our rightful destiny as rulers of-"

The Yellow Ant's soliloquy is rudely interrupted by a lightning-fast punch to the face, despite the fact that Ogir Place has not moved one inch. The spider golem staggers back, looking around in fury for its phantom attacker. "What!? Where are you, coward? Show your... self..."

A gigantic red shadow looms above and behind Ogir Place, which leans back and places one massive hand on its hip. Completely relaxed, the oasis-golem lazily raises its other arm and snaps its gigantic fingers together, with the sound of boulder cracking against boulder.

Ruoumoko, larger than any demigod has any right to be, incorporeal and yet violently corporeal at once, immediately launches himself into an amazingly fast flurry of punches, bellowing one continuous warcry at the top of his lungs as he smashes the golem to pieces before the Yellow Ant can so much as blink.

"ORAORAORAORAORA- ORAAA!"

The demigod ends it with an uppercut, the golem flying apart into its component parts with a thunderous CRACK. As the essence of the Yellow Ant once again evaporates into thin air, Ruoumoko crosses his arms, savoring the inexplicable power flowing through his body.

[... yeah. That'll do.]

You know, I feel like, as a lava demigod, Ruoumoko would be very interested in any snatches of lore related to Oiwatsmilk. You know. Being the primordial fire diety, Ruoumoko would just be a derivative of the former. Seems like, if we wanna deal in divine politics, he'll be our main guy to go to.
