Lex looked down at the open mouth shooting towards him like a rocket. He still did not move, but instead summoned a lightning bolt beside him - a golden colored one. Changing the color of the bolt was merely an aesthetic choice since he had somewhat become fond of the golden color.
What did have an impact on the lightning bolt, though, was that Lex kept strengthening it even as he changed its shape into that of a trident. All this, he did without moving a muscle.
When the worm finally reached close enough that it needed only slam its mouth shut and Lex would be trapped inside its mouth, he spoke.
"You need a breathmint, but you'll have to suffice for this."
