"So you figured it out," Rui remarked with a hint of respect. "As expected of the second Mother of Nature."
"It wasn't that impressive, either," she chuckled. "But yes, it would be hard to miss the ripples throughout reality. I'm sure the other powerhouses have also noticed. I fear what my older sister has unleashed upon the world. I would rather not have to partake in an arms race to a higher echelon of power."
Rui's expression grew serious at those words.
It was exactly what Mother Maeria had alluded to as well. It appeared that human civilization would have no choice but to deal with the consequences of Transcendence getting out.
