Draiss nodded, pulling the cigar from his mouth as he nodded. "Yes, I tried that, but the results were... substandard to the need. Those combat constructs need a power source similar to the magic one, but working off technology, and ideally in the same conduits to save space. That was less like a power source for combat, and more like something that would be used to keep a steady but low power source."<br/><br/>He rolled the cigar in his hand, staring at it for a minute, before shaking his head. "The other thing about that signal you should know about, since it IS technically part of your problem as well, is that it is causing mutations in the organics above. Not harmful ones, at least not lethal, but uncomfortable."<br/><br/>He used an illusion to show a normal centaur and centauress, and then what he had observed, grinning at the other god's reaction. "And the problem, other than the obvious, is that the supporting muscles and tendons aren't developing as fast as the organs. And those are just the ones I observed personally before investigating the other instillation, though my survey crews have noted that all the races above ground have a similar problem. Over exaggerated characteristics, based on whatever the individual finds 'most desirable' which usually translate into being oversexed."<br/><br/>He shrugged, and took another pull from the cigar, before continuing. "I have no issues about that, though the lack of supporting structures means most of the beings are in a state of constant low level agony. I helped a couple of the centaur females before entering the facility, and they were practically fawning over me afterwards in gratitude."<br/><br/>He mentally added to himself that that only lasted until they realized he had gotten them trapped in the facility with him. "But yeah, back to the real issue, why I need a compatible tech and magic power source. I am not the only god to get their initial boost from beyonders, there were seven, now five after I killed two in self defense, who also did, and four of them are working at least at semi-parallel purposes together. The other one is unable to do anything to assist me due to the Beyonders attempting to control her and have her join those four the moment she leaves my protections."
