Draiss gave Bahamut a half glare, before leaning backwards. "Probably because my current issue is figuring out how to make my shadow stalkers more effective against Beyonder Shards. Those are the little bastards that are nearly impossible to sense once they get out of sensor range. And I can immediately think of two reasons why she would be doing that. First is to try and go back to make the first work, and second is to try and figure out how to counter my time stop, which is the most grossly abused spell on my list. We already are being pushed to our limits with the taints we already know about, and if the survey squads continue to discover more at a similar rate, then the ten billion shadow stalker units will likely rise again. I am also having to play a game of bluff and counter bluff against the previously mentioned marilith, as showing too much now will mean she has time to build counter units. I am already being pushed to my limits with barely five thousand planes explored, and my avatars are beyond theirs currently.<br/><br/>I am getting to the point where I can effectively deal with things, which is why I have already taken steps against that. One of them is this meeting. Another is destroying the planes with a total taint divine rating greater than my own. I would rather NOT use the second one mentioned, which is why I asked for the meeting."
