Kraken could tell Orion was being sincere, not just joking around. But the way he said it… it sounded like the biggest flex he'd ever heard.
Orion didn't say another word. He let his Curse Avatar phase out from his body. An overwhelming wave of demigod pressure slammed into Kraken, nearly buckling his knees and forcing him to the ground.
"I… I… holy shit. You… you… you hit demigod?" Kraken stuttered, pointing a trembling finger at Orion, struggling to form a coherent sentence.
Orion just smiled and retracted the Curse Avatar.
As the oppressive aura vanished, Kraken felt the world right itself. He took a deep, shuddering breath. "Hulk, what the hell is going on? Did you really rank up to demigod?" The disbelief in his voice was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
