Noah almost found it hilarious. The leaders of both armies had pushed the limits until they were almost about to fall apart.
Skully had traded her sanity, body, and dantian for more years of survival in which she could train new generations of rebels. Her efforts had been praiseworthy, but their execution ended up being relatively poor due to her flawed memory.
On the other hand, the Ape God had given up on its divine status to build a world for its species. Still, the origin of its divine power was flawed and imperfect, which eventually led to the fall of the Seventh Kesier rune.
The Ape then had tried to reach the divine ranks on its own, but it had failed, falling prey to a constant weakening process that made its power regress back into the heroic ranks.
That wasn't everything. The Kesier species' leader still had to restore the mental brands and perform the summoning, which were tasks that required a divine power.
