Something had gone very, very wrong. He had expected a great explosion, rending of the very ground and incineration of everything that fell into that dome of Ki that would shine like a terrible dark star. But instead, something akin to a black hole had swallowed the powerful blast in its entirety.
Lottus stares, eyes widened and hands still outstretched. His arms were shaking - and soon, so too was the rest of his body. When Sankishin Kamae walks towards Lottus, speaking with his arrogance, Lottus is quiet and unmoving, his arms still raised even as the demon stopped a few feet away from him. The demon mocked him, like a King mocks a pauper.
Lottus' arms slowly fall to his sides as Lottus still tried to comprehend how his attack could have just been consumed like that, but the words of his being unworthy, like trash to be tossed away, distracts him from that line of thought. As Kamae begins his second round of mockery, Lottus presses his hands to his face, as if hiding himself away behind them, and his body begins to shiver.
At first, the muffled sound coming from him would sound like sobs of terror - but when one of the hands drop, and Lottus leans his head back as his other hand presses on his forehead, it becomes clear that he was laughing. Eventually, the laughter stops, and he lowers the other hand. Lottus stares at the sky for a moment, and then brings his face down. Rather than manic amusement, Lottus' expression is flat - as though no emotion had ever been there. His eyes, however, burn with hatred.
"I kneel to no one. Not to Kings, not to Queens, Emperors or Empresses - and not for self proclaimed Gods. I do not kneel for any." Lottus tells Sankishin Kamae. "I would not lay my cheek to the ground, prostrate as you say, save for if my body lay broken and immobile. And then, it would not be willing."
A wicked smile stretches across his features.
"This dog is rabid - it bites and tears at anything that comes near enough." Lottus says, cackling madly. "You could never command me; just as the Kingdom does not - it cannot. I kill, I destroy, I act as I see fit to do. It just so happens that sometimes the things I want to fight line up to be the enemies of those who believe themselves to command me. And you - in all your eons of life, you never learned the most important thing."
Lottus' aura flares again, his manic glee returning to his eyes and expression.
"A Saiyan never surrenders their pride!!" he shouts. Even if it is useless, even if it is stupid, Lottus would never bow to words alone. Being shattered and cast along the ground would not break him. "Let me be filth! Let me be unworthy!! But I will never be ANYONE'S LAP DOG!!!"
With that, Lottus lunges forth, and attacks Kamae. Fruitless attack that simply collide seemingly with the air around Kamae. Brute force by Lottus' hands would never touch Kamae, he knew now. But to turn tail and run? Kneel and become this demon's foot stool? NEVER.
