A single sweep of his Cave Heaven would crush everything and everyone in the city, and a single bite with Fenrir would devour the city whole. It would all be so easy to do.
But he didn't take the easy route. This is because his goal is not to destroy the city. Destroying the city will come later when he wants to see how much the city will taste and how much he will gain from eating a city.
For now, though, his goal is to draw a certain golden divine being out. In order to achieve this goal, he can't appear himself or the target will be too wary and will run away.
As a divine being himself, he knows the value of lifespan and can imagine just how cautious someone with 10 years' worth of lifespan left will be. A divine being like that will only be capable of one attack, so they won't want to get into a fight with another divine being.
