Achilles and Rose floated before THE Watcher after the platinum singularity had shown them what Lamashtu was doing.
The ritual. The Hearts of Civilization burning in that obsidian circle. The calling upon forces that should not be called upon.
Achilles's expression was grave as he processed everything he had witnessed.
"Even knowing all of this, we don't really have the power to stop Lamashtu right now."
His voice emerged heavy with practical assessment rather than despair.
"What can we do when he is so much more powerful? On another Scale entirely? I have grown tremendously since entering The Existential Lattice. I have consumed Absolutes and treasures and formed the Heart of a Primordial Architect. But THE Second Scale is not something that can be bridged through that easily. The gap between us...remains insurmountable."
The golden lotus petals around THE Watcher contracted slightly before expanding again.
"There is no magic solution to cross the Scales."
