The First Layer of the Hatcher had been repaired fully at least. There were a lot of portals in the lobby, leading to a series of exquisite resorts full of bizarrely intriguing and exciting atmospheres and creatures, most of which were powered by Ju'wtte.
Skullius and Suzate ca out of one of the portals and went straight into another.
Despite the unimaginable beauty in the new resort, however, what awaited them there was anything but thrilling. Even Skullius felt his spirits plumt sowhat. Suzate, on the other hand…
Skullius took a beat to respond. He'd considered all this after seeing his subordinates. They already had world-shattering powers despite being mortal. There was a cost to that. That was why Kenno had died from using his own powers. Skullius' Maximum Jaqquezjaqqz had already sensed hints of Eklhesh from him. He was tapping into abilities way beyond his current capacity.
"I'm not sure I want them to beco Divines by this Reality's standard," Skullius said softly. "At least not yet."
He didn't say it, but the fact that AKHASHA had sunk his fingers into the natural design of Divinity was another reason why Skullius wanted to distance his followers from it. According to Serenity, anomalies were unaffected by its restrictions, but Stars and Troops wouldn't.
Suzate narrowed her eyes.
"A horrifying idea," said Skullius, smiling. "I need to explore more of what's out there for my schematic to take concrete shape. Divinity isn't the solution to prevailing in Deadmanland, unfortunately. Those two Arch-Liches and their modest armies could have destroyed Aigas without breaking a sweat, and there are supposed to be unimaginable numbers of them in Deadmanland, not to ntion High Liches and whatever rank of Lich follows after that. Storming a domain with millions of monsters like that requires a special kind of crazy might."
Suzate gave a chuckle, the first she'd mustered in the last hour or so.
Skullius smirked, agreeing with the sentint.
Suzate said.
