After Rhulk's failure with the Ahslid, the Witness instead sought the [[Worm]]s | After Rhulk's failure with the Ahslid, the Witness instead sought the [[Worm]]s which it had previously uplifted its progenitors with [[Sword Logic]] eons ago, with the current [[Worm Gods]] now imprisoned far beneath the seas of [[Fundament]]. Serving as its herald, Rhulk swam deep into the depths of the planet's ocean, to which he was met with the [[Leviathan (creature)|Leviathan]] acting as the warden of their prison. Despite its repeated warnings to the disciple to turn from Darkness, Rhulk defiantly rebukes the massive creature before proclaiming that he "''rise''" instead of "drowns" with the [[Darkness|Deep]]. Rhulk then grievously injures it within a millisecond as he held the Leviathan's rib in one hand and pushed aside its maimed body with the other. <ref name="Leviathan">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Rhulk]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uy37eDdZdI "The Creature Known to Some as the Leviathan"]''</ref> The wounded Leviathan could only avert Rhulk's gaze as the disciple places the rib beneath the beast's skull and raises it's head to meet his eye level to address it directly: proclaiming that the Worms it kept beneath belonged to neither it nor the [[Traveler]], but to the Witness only. He drops the discarded rib into the Worm Gods' dwelling with force before announcing his presence, uplifting the sediment of the seabed into a dense cloud from which he emerged before his captive audience.<ref name="Resonant Fury Gauntlets">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Gauntlets|Resonant Fury Gauntlets]]''</ref> | ||
Upon finding the Worm Gods at the deepest trenches of the planet, [[Xita, the Nurturing Worm]] greets the Lubrean disciple only for him to callously scold her for taking him for a manipulatable fool by her psychic machinations. As he fully knew of the Worms' plight and hunger from eons of their imprisonment, Rhulk offers the Worm mother a trade: the survival of her children in exchange for their eternal servitude to the Witness. He also promises sustenance for them in the form of the primitive ancestors of the [[Hive|Krill]] on Fundament's surface, to be given new purpose as fodder for her spawn to feed upon. Rhulk could only snark as the Worm mother's submission for mercy; holding the rib out for her to grasp with her jaws as they both swam upward from their underwater prison, dragging Xita in tow towards the surface and into her new prison aboard his [[The Sunken Pyramid|Pyramid]]. Rhulk would therefore became respectfully known as the Subjugator to the Worms for his indomitable might and strength.<ref name="Resonant Fury Helm">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Helm|Resonant Fury Helm]]''</ref> | Upon finding the Worm Gods at the deepest trenches of the planet, [[Xita, the Nurturing Worm]] greets the Lubrean disciple only for him to callously scold her for taking him for a manipulatable fool by her psychic machinations.
