The god of fire tries to stop him, but ling is too strong for him. He calls him a "big dummy" and says he's not the one who's giving orders to the other gods around here. ling says that if he weren't such a powerful man, he'd take ling for himself. He says that he'll help ling get rid of the "old hag" who bullies the one ling's supposed to protect. He also says that chiro is the last god of creation, and that he should be called "earth" instead of "fire" because he inherited the powers of his dead mother. .
