"To answer the most important first...<br/><br/>Because on the Divine Ranking scales, I am a rank thirteen, a mid power intermediate god, who should have several hundred million followers on a half dozen planes and been established for a millennium. Instead, I have the following of a rank one, with a few hundred after a half year. Therefore, since I am an ascended god, there are a number of gods that hate that concept, as well as several that don't love my sense of humor, no idea why, well, it is better to have a nice trump card or seven. Which I do. I just showed you to ones that are easiest and least messy, on a planar scale, to play. I guess I COULD rely on my allies, but that really doesn't seem, if you will forgive the word choice, fair to them. I am an ally, not someone being sponsored, no offense meant, Serena.<br/><br/>As for how everything else works..."<br/><br/>He gave a half hour dissertation on the various points of the tank, not going into details in this setting about the power cores, before smiling at everyone. "And that was the technobabble. The simple explanation is that I am using ambient magic to power the constructs, with the power cores to shoulder the heavier work loads. The tanks are meant to counter dragons, demons, devils, tarrasques, and other things that would be able to fillet my construct ground troops with little trouble, and the air troops with only a few more. Sheer survivability and whatnot.<br/><br/>Also, I review in tandem everything that the avatars do, so I would like to mention that I resent the fact that you seem to think I lack a brain.<br/><br/>Also, Serena, I accept the apology, and admit that I was somewhat out of line being as curt as I was, since everyone was mentioned, in passing, to not figure out where we were. Also, if you are interested, here is a recording of what four of the chaos scorpions can do in the middle of a demon compound."<br/><br/>She was handed a small screen similar to the ones that were used at the party for small groups to review actions during the various war games. "Now, what else was there? I had a question, but that half hour lecture made me forget. Uh, give me a minute, it will come back..."<br/><br/>After a moment though, he shook his head, and turned back to the group. "Anything else?"
