"Strong enough to defeat the Dragon Emperor?" Lord Maruthi raised an eyebrow as his large primate eyes bore deep into Lord Gajanan's.
"Strong enough to be worth betting on," Lord Gajanan replied. "The top ten strongest beings in the world have something or the other that sets them apart from virtually every other pathwalker in the world. Mother Maeria has achieved what they now call the Enlightenment of Oneness. The Suneater consumes power from the Sun itself, while God's Hammer is the most powerful war artifact in existence. NOVA is the most intelligent entity in our world. Anthea was capable of limitless evolution. I sense that the Dawnbringer, too, is cut from the same cloth."
Lord Maruthi's expression grew serious. "…Fascinating. I would have loved to have met him myself in person once before this conflict began."
