[It's hard to leave him like this...curled up in the corner of this cave, covered in injuries and surrounded by the remnants of something precious to him. But Poseidon has work to do, and it could take him a while to complete. So after lingering as long as he can, he picks up his trident and gets back up to his feet, forcing himself not to look back as he exits the cave.
Once his feet hit the sand, he starts to run towards a rocky outcropping on the edge of the island. He uses that to leap from and dive headfirst back into the ocean, his trident splitting the sea ahead of him to quicken his descent. In the same instance, he grows in size and shifts back into his mer form, blue bolts of energy swirling and crackling around his body as he grows bigger....and bigger...and yet bigger still.
And Poseidon doesn't stop growing until he towers over the tallest point of the very island itself, having become larger than the mountain. The amount of energy coursing through him is astronomical, so much so that his eyes glow so bright that they're pinpricks of light looking out from his face down at the island below him. He will need that level of energy to actually do this, not only manipulating the course of Megami's lake, but also reshaping the land while keeping it intact at the same time.
Megami will be able to see- and feel- when it starts. The entire world seems to light up blue, like a flash of lightning that never stops. It fills the little cave that Megami hides in as a spear of energy shoots from Poseidon's trident, lined up to strike the edge of one of the far sides of Megami's lake. Luckily, all the frogs left with Poseidon and stayed in the grass near where Megami had ended up, sparing them from being unintentionally fried in the process. Because the energy coming from his trident is molten hot, strong enough to split the earth and rocks and send the water rushing into the trough he creates, widening it and making it deeper as he goes.
He has a long way to traverse, and the lake itself only has so much water it can fill. But if it was always meant to be a river, and has remained the lake it is for this long...then Poseidon is confident that it will survive the shift.]
