Shir stood shocked, watching the sea monster settle beside Eren.
Was this brat playing a game of chess with him? 'Cause it definitely felt like he did.
The way he countered Shir's every move before he even made them.
With the way things were going, he couldn't treat Eren as an upstart anymore.
If anything, this newbie Demigod was even more cunning than those old bastards who had clung to their statuses for thousands of years without making any actual progress.
Once you accept that something's actually a threat, it somehow feels a little less scary.
Shir's mind, though shocked a moment ago, was no longer frozen.
Instead, something darker started growing in his heart.
Eren… he was not only a threat to himself but his divine self as well. He really needed to be dealt with irrespective of the price.
