"If you insist," the Valeyard replies, somewhat testily. "Though I will warn you that any evidence you provide from an unverified source will not hold as much weight as the Tome does."<br/><br/>The gods in attendance watch, some with horror, some with fascination; Sune's lips are tightly pressed, especially at the image of her finding him, like a feral animal. There is<em>definitely</em>some consternation at the images of him 'adjusting' the demon's souls, so freely, and some murmurings of other problems, with that scene alone. unfortunately, for most present, the final explanations don't seem to carry much weight; while most gods are wiling to acknowledge that the Beyonders are a threat, they are unaware of, and likely can't even sense, the tainted and corrupted, across the planes, and, as such, don't see the much less obvious, but no less dangerous, threat that they pose, and still see him personally leading a slaughter.<br/><br/>"This is hardly a 'kangaroo court'. These are serious charges, and the punishment can be up to indefinite imprisonment, as a threat to the stability of our reality," the judge snaps, clearly irritated, but presses on with the second set of charges, the willful violation of the Pact of Creation. "As I am certain most of you are fully aware, the Pact of Creation was established in the millenia following the creation of the mortal races, to prevent infinite overpopulation, and states that no divine shall create a large-scale, self-propagating, sentient race. Not to mention the numerous other pacts banning creation of such a being beholden, specifically, to them. As you've seen in the evidence that Draiss, himself, has presented, he has not only created these sentient constructs, but they serve his purposes exclusively. And, I have evidence of other instances, though I certainly believe that should be enough on that account. What say you, Draiss?"
