After his previous failure with the Ahslid, Rhulk instead sought the [[Worm]]s of [[Fundament]]; its progenitors had been previously uplifted by the Witness with the [[Sword Logic]] eons ago and the surviving [[Worm Gods]] now lived imprisoned far beneath the seas of the gas giant. Serving as its herald, Rhulk swam deep into the depths of the planet's ocean, where 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 rebuked the massive creature before proclaiming that he would "''rise''" instead of "drown" with the [[Darkness|Deep]].

As he fully knew of the Worms' plight and hunger from eons of their imprisonment, Rhulk offered the Worm mother a trade: the survival of her children in exchange for their eternal servitude to the Witness. He also promised 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. Holding the rib out for her to grasp with her jaws, they both swam upward from their underwater prison, Rhulk 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> | ||
Despite Rhulk's prior claim of the Worms' power for the Witness' behalf, Xita knew well enough that Rhulk sought the [[Sword Logic]] out of his own personal desire for domination as they offered to elevate himself as his master's equal despite its earlier objections. From her body, Rhulk created a parasitic strain of miniature Worms made of the Worm mother's living segments, small enough to be implanted into a host. He would set these so called "larvae" adrift on Fundament's ocean, knowing full well they would reach the shores of the [[Osmium Court]] to find their respective sustenance.<ref name="Resonant Fury Greaves">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Greaves|Resonant Fury Greaves]]''</ref> Soon as the Witness and Rhulk predicted, one of these larvae reached its intended target: the [[Osmium King|King]] of the [[Osmium Court]]. The dead white larvae spoke to the king of a cataclysm that would result from a Syzygy of Fundament's fifty-two moons (though no such danger actually existde). However, the King's mind would prove to be too feeble for the Witness' whispers, which drove him to insanity.<ref name="Syzygy">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#IV: Syzygy|IV: Syzygy]]''</ref> | Despite Rhulk's prior claim of the Worms' power for the Witness' behalf, Xita knew well enough that Rhulk sought the [[Sword Logic]] out of his own personal desire for domination as they offered to elevate himself as his master's equal despite its earlier objections.
