[ It’s interesting, and that’s why Tezcatlipoca had asked. There was some amount where humanity could better themselves and become stronger, but it was still a hard, concrete limit at some point. Even those who were gifted with the power to wield magecraft did so at considerable cost to themselves. Humanity was just kind of meant to be weak, in a way. Wasn’t anything personal, but it was the set of cards they were dealt. So, here, where they were able to suddenly ascend…
It's a bit strange. But it’s not something he dislikes, exactly. Some other gods might take offense to it and want to put humans back in their “place”, but that’s just not the kind of god he is. He may not be a pure ally of humanity like Quetzalcoatl was… But he wasn’t their enemy either. He just tended to take on people of a particular character, which is why he nods in understanding. ]
So, huge change. You’ve got the world at your disposal all of the sudden. Pretty literally, if you go with Zenith’s side of things.
[ His phrasing is neutral, implying that he hasn’t picked a side yet, and it’s true. He hasn’t. But he’s also sure that so long as the Quetzalcoatl is here, obviously he’d have to be opposed to her. They might have been on the same side if things were different back on Earth, but… Doesn’t seem like a bad bet to look ahead, in his opinion. Fuck all the Alien God shit. Let’s start anew for the sixth time around. He gets it. ]
Ain’t a bad gig, all things considered. So, you should hold onto it. Not that you need to hear it from a stranger, most likely, but that kinda power is all that matters in war. Weapons are a tool to survive, whether it’s powers or something as crude and simple as a gun. [ He shrugs ] That’s how I see it, at least.
