"Yes, it got me killed and into godhood, and you got to survive and have a bundle of joy that then became a paladin. So perhaps you are right..."<br/><br/>He stuck his tongue out at her, before shaking his head and looking at Nadriina a bit disappointed. "As a wizard, you, out of everyone here except for Serena, should know how damn hard it is to find something in the Astral that you do not have a link to. And even with the link, sometimes it is still damned hard. And that is not taking into account that the Astral plane is a natural magic sink, so anything that does happen doesn't spread far. So the odds of someone noticing my testings is so remote that I don't believe even Fate working with Lady Luck and every magic sensing god ever could find evidence of the testings. And since most of the tests that don't destroy a plane are done on my personal training world, which is actually located on the very edge of the outer planes..."<br/><br/>He let her fill in the rest, but she would find the answers in his head if she didn't want to think. That close to the outer planes, planarly speaking, was something of a very dangerous gamble on his part. Right now it was fine, nothing... to dangerous was likely to stumble on a plane that small, and once it got to a certain size, he and his avatars were going to disappear for a month or so and 'move' it 'away' from outer planes, so he didn't have to worry about a pure essence of chaos champion or godling suddenly stumbling in. He then took a deep breath, before dropping one of his mental walls, and showing them his collection of contingency plans. "And these are what I do when I am not completely focused on something, which is almost always. Contingency plans for everything up to and including one of my personalities getting corrupted by Chaos. I can't got any higher with active plans, so I have built a passive one, which were those artifacts that everyone got and are still being improved and made. The lack of planning is something I do to keep everyone from guessing that I actually do plan things out, I just like to give myself some flexibility to allow for unforeseen circumstances to happen. So a little trust? Please?"
