أَشَدُّ more intense

وَأَشَدُّ and more severe
Two pieces fuse: wa- ('and') tying this to the prior maxim, and a comparative-superlative adjective 'more severe', which bundles 'more' into its shape. Used as the predicate, it ranks the next idea above the punishment just described. The wa- sets up the escalation.
