Despite how enraged Leviathan was that he'd been captured and more or less defeated, and was now being spared by someone so pompous, like any serpent seeking to prolong his life just a bit longer, Leviathan would comply. Perhaps he would be able to escape if he did. "... Typical. You Would Abuse Your Power Over Anyone You Deem Beneath You..." His eyes still gleamed with fury, yet now the sea faring creature seemed docile in his container, swimming around in circles anxiously. "It Is People Like You Flaunting Such Power That Drives Me To Want To Destroy You. If You Destroy Me, Would You Not Be Just Like Me?" Leviathan's eyes narrowed. If a conversation was what Triton wanted, then that was what he would get, however in terms of how pleasant it would be, Leviathan would not be so compliant. "Tell Me! Why Should YOU Have Your Power? What Makes YOU More Deserving Than I Am, Or Anyone Else, For That Matter? Why Are YOU Crowned And Strutting About All High And Mighty, Looking Down On Everyone Around You?" Leviathan looked up to the clouds, unable to see Triton's face, yet hissed at him, "You Are So Haughty, You Dare Not Even Look Me In The Face!? Pompous! Arrogant! You Deserve Nothing If You Treat Others So Lowly! So Much Lesser Than You!"

Triton remained silent as a calm storm would as the Leviathan was allowed to plead his case before him. Though the ignorant words of the clearly envious creature were sharp and filled with much disdain, Triton was able to siphon and decipher from them the greater underlying issues that were within the Leviathan's jealous, power-hungry heart. It was important to hear out these types to the fullest of their extent, for in their tongues was the truth, even if they were prone to lie, embellish and distort said truth. Only those with eyes, ears and mind of clarity would be able to truly determine what the truth hidden behind the venomous words were.

"You Speak Of Abuse... Yet, You Were The One To Claim To Destroy Any That Opposed You And Did Not Bow To You As King." The great body of Triton would suddenly stoop down, kneeling upon one knee, the Left, and would gaze at Leviathan at his level, raising the bubble up to meet his eye, despite how Triton did not want to even look at this creature. "... Yet, Here I Am, Sparing Your Life And Bowing To You; Something You Would Not Have Done To Nor For Me." That much was clear from Leviathan's words and demeanor. Someone like him would not give anyone this sort of chance. "I Have Flaunted Nothing. I Have Barely Even Shown You A Fraction Of My True Strength, For I Know That Using Power Unnecessarily Or In Too Great A Quantity Is Wasteful And Irresponsible." At risk of bringing more envy to Leviathan, who not only had no power, but also had no control over whatever power he did have, Triton would not turn said finger of judgment over to him to cast Leviathan down for being impotent. That would make the situation worse, considering that when the envious saw what they were jealous of being used against them, it made their anger and wicked desires worse.

"To Destroy What Causes Greater Destruction And Nothing More Nor Less Is Control Of One's Power. I Would Not Be Like You In Destroying You Because You Would Destroy Everything That You Saw Fit, Yet I Would Destroy Only What Causes Destruction, And Leave Whatever Else There Was To Grow As Necessary, Even If Not Bowing To Me." There was a certain level of temperance one with control over power had to maintain, and a certain level of understanding and wisdom, as well. There would be those who would, in their own eyes, not recognize nor respect anyone, much like Leviathan, regardless of their power. In fact, there had been those who had crossed the Tensei family just like this already. They loved to show off what little power they had, yet despised when others did the same to them and sought to bring them down in order to build themselves back up. They had no respect for others' power, yet desired that power and also asked for respect of their own, much like this Leviathan did. It had happened all too many times, even just recently. "... From What I Have Shown You And How I Control My Power, It Has Chosen Me. Power Is Its Own Entity, And To It, You Are Either Strong Enough To Control It Or Weak Enough To Allow It To Control You. Much Like The Crown, You Do Not Choose It On Your Own; It Chooses You, As Well."

With both the power to kneel before someone who needed to feel better about themselves, as well as the power to rise back up to the same level he once was before, Triton would lift himself from the ground and place his head back into the clouds, having had enough of looking at Leviathan directly. He was still rather unsightly, even if Triton was doing his best to show and teach him a lesson about himself and the things he desired from others, yet would not seek the principles of within himself. "I Have Successfully Come Down To Your Level For Your Satisfaction, And To Show You That Even Though You Are At A Lower Level, This Does Not Determine That You Are Lesser. It Is Something Else Completely That Determines If You Are Greater Or Lesser, And It Would Behoove You To Find That For Yourself." With Triton now standing tall and straight again, he would speak to Leviathan, "Come Up Here." If he was truly as powerful and high as he wished himself to be, then he should have been able to easily meet Triton's eye at the level of his height just the same as Triton had matched Leviathan's on his height. "Meet My Eye And My Standards Now, And Perhaps You Will See Why I Have What I Have. If You Cannot Match My Level, Then You Will See Why You Are Where You Are And What It Is You Lack." This was the prime reason why one learns to 'Surrender' to others' will, in order to show them things like this and that whatever outlandish request or issue they may make, it is still able to be countered and resolved without falling from grace or losing what it is that they are trying to take from you, showing exactly why you have what you have.

"You Only Kneel Out Of Pity! To Look Down On Me Further!!" Leviathan continued to swim about furiously, knowing Triton's true contempt for him. "You Hold Back From Me To Boast Superiority!! Yet, Without The Body Of Water As Your Own, You Are Nothing! You Cannot Even Harm Me Without This Precious Ocean! My Strong Body, My Glowing Eyes, My Fiery Breath, My Potent Venom; Each Of These Things Makes Me Strong! But What Do You Have That Is Your Own!?" Leviathan was very much aware that if Triton did not have his command over all the seas, and would face Leviathan in his normal form, then Leviathan would be victorious over Triton.

"What Determines My Place?! Is It You?! Are You Saying That Only You Can Decide What My Place Is!? You Have No Right To Tell Me About Myself, Nor Anyone! What Gives You That Authority To Speak Such Of Me?" Seeing Triton rise back up into the clouds brought forth great wrath in Leviathan, who would, upon being challenged to meet Triton's eye, immediately swim upward toward the sky. "I Will Not Only Meet Your Eye, I Will Gnaw Them Out Of Your Skull! Then You Will Be Able To See Who Is Truly Fit To Rule!!"

Triton closed his eyes and shook his head slowly, hearing Leviathan's great ignorance simply from his speech alone. It was all too clear to Triton how very uncouth this creature truly was, and how blind he was as well to his own shortcomings, though he sought to speak ill of others without a second thought. "... Just Like The Others..." Triton mumbled under his breath, having already seen this far too many times in a number of encounters against the Tensei simply for being as they were. "It Is Not I Who Determines Your Place, But You. And It Is Not Through Your Words Alone, Or Else, Would Not Everyone Be King Of Everything Just By Claiming The Title?" So many still had yet to understand that their words meant nothing if there were not a great deal of other things working in tandem to power them; the power of Truth. "You Must Also Be As You Say. Do As You Say. Look As You Say. Feel As You Say. Otherwise, They Are Naught But Empty Words Attempting To Fill A Gap Of Greater Emptiness In Your Soul. And, What Gap Can Emptiness Fill? Do Not Empty Words Make An Empty Heart That Much Larger? Add Emptiness To Emptiness, And Is There Not Just A Greater Void?" Hopefully, Leviathan was intelligent enough to understand this. There were many who lacked such wisdom, and with the eyes of clarity, Triton was able to determine immediately from the responses given to him.

"... You Claim To Be On My Level And Have Such Great Power, Yet You Cannot Even Tame Your Foul Tongue." The moment Leviathan, who was still inside of the bubble, reached the clouds, all of the water would part into the clouds, not allowing the creature to pass Triton's throat to see the rest of his face. "If You Cannot Even Do That Much, Then There Is No Way You Will Ever Meet My Eye. You Cannot Even Match My Mouth." From there, if Leviathan were unable to fly, which, if Triton knew his lore about the beast, he could not, then once all of the water was extracted from around him, Leviathan would fall straight back down to the earth and crash into the ground to slither upon his belly just as the rest of the serpents were cursed to do for nearly the exact same reason. "Speak To Me As A Civil, Understanding, Intelligent Being. Your Words Are A Reflection Of Your Mind. Your Mind Is Unclean, As Your Words Have Shown Me. I Did Not Place You Anywhere Except Where You Have Shown Me You Are, As What Any Piece Of Any Puzzle Would Fit In Exactly Where It Belongs. I Have Only Judged You Based On What You Have Shown Me, And Have Shown Me No Reason To Treat You Any Differently. If You Seek That From Me, It Must Be Earned. And If You Truly Care About It That Much, Then You Will Earn It Instead Of Attempt To Steal It Out Of Envy." Each of those afflicted by Envy sought not to earn what it is they desired with such intensity, yet to steal it from someone who did earn it because they believed they deserved it or were entitled to whatever it was. Yet, by even believing something like that and thinking up such lowly methods of acquiring it, they proved to everyone around them that they were in no such way entitled, prepared nor deserving of whatever they desired. "You Have Determined Your Own Place, Leviathan. I Simply Confirmed It. And, Just As You Can Confirm Your Spot In A Position Of Lowliness, You May Always Secure A Spot In A Higher Place. But, As You Determined Your Own Place There, You Must Find A Way To Earn The Higher Place And Show Others That You Deserve It Without Wishing To Destroy Or Slander Those That Are Opposed To It."

Leviathan was more than appalled now and it seemed as though the serpent's fury was to no end. "And Now You Lecture Me!? How You Still Look Down On Me! And Yet, You Expect Me To Give All Such Glory And Honor To You?" Leviathan was tired of being treated so lowly by someone who did not know how to even do the things he requested of others. Triton could not even practice what he was preaching, and though he masked it cleverly in his words and movements, Leviathan could still see that Triton still held contempt for him.

"Just The Same As I Have Not Earned Whatever You Claim I Do Not Deserve, You Have Not Earned My Respect Nor Acknowledgement, Either! Whatever You Claim I Do Not Deserve, You Deserve Even Less, Then!" Just as Leviathan reached the height of the clouds, the bubble was torn from him and he was allowed to be free... Yet, being a flightless serpent, would fall straight down to the ground with great speed, his body flailing about wildly in the air. "How You Insult Me! Humiliate Me! Disgrace Me!! And You Find These Qualities To Be Honored Or Revered?! LAUGHABLE!!" Even as Leviathan struck the ground with a heavy crash, that which left a deep impression of his own unscathed bod in the ground, something like a long trench for a river, he would rise up unharmed and look up to the clouds with scorn.

"See Now How You Run From Me! Your Power Is Not So!! You Cannot Even Remain On My Level For So Long, So How Can You Say You Are Greater Than It?!"
