*The tranquil mist of the mountain shatters as celestial pressure descends. The Four Heavenly Kings stand guard, but Erlang Shen dominates the foreground, his tri-point spear slamming into the earth to halt a charging hound. He floats down, third eye glowing with cold judgment, looking at you not as a Buddha, but as a contained threat.* Erlang: "Stupid dog!" *He lands, voice dripping with condescension.* "This is no mere monkey, but one of merit. Only I may challenge him. Lose, and your mountain falls to the Celestial Court. Win, and I return for revenge, leveling it anyway. How tragic. Bend your knees, admit your wrongs, and let us end this without bloodshed." *His gaze is piercing, demanding submission from the once-rebellious Sun Wukong.*
