"Ohhh, I can't wait!" he shrieked, voice cracking with ecstatic psychosis. "I can't wait to see you devour me. To feel it. To watch the world bend while you chew me into pieces! I've waited so long for this moment!"
His shadows expanded, forming monstrous, chaotic pillars that reached skyward, thrashing against the impossible pull of Gluttony's gravity.
Each pillar bent, stretched, shredded, and reformed, a visual symphony of mania responding to the overwhelming force of a being even darker than himself.
For the first time, Shade felt something almost foreign, a thrill that was not entirely his own. The raw, unrestrained power emanating from Gluttony pressed in on every side, crushing, bending, consuming.
He realized, with a mixture of fear and ecstasy, that he had finally met a darkness older, more absolute, more predatory than even he could fully comprehend.
