This list of things I hate is quite long.
The first is that I hate to be tested the most.
The second is that I hate to be tested the most.
The third also happens to be that I hate to be tested the most.
The ocean's depths are too shallow, the sun's light too dim, the ground too mundane and the skies too small. For those born of this colorless world to deem themselves worthy of casting judgement on me... I can only say that it's laughable.
I am the Nameless Immortal God because even the Heavens themselves are unworthy to name me. Even while I am unaware of my own identity, I will dry the oceans until cracked land is all that is left, I will cast the sun into endless darkness, I will shatter the ground with my feet and sunder the skies with my blade.
Am I too arrogant? What right do you have to think that?
