They were right. There was indeed more to come. This much was true and could not be avoided.
The reason for this was because when manu had been imprisoned ten thousand years ago, he had been a demi god, but his imprisonment had done. Lot of damage to him.
It had striped him of a lot of his power. Then again, that had been the plan, to slowly wither him away until he became nothing of significance.
In fact, if it had been a human that had found him, his situation would have been worse than it had been at just falling to the gold rank.
It was Chiron's robust foundation that allowed him preserve that much power.
Meaning that he would have to first face the lightning strikes for climbing into the gold rank with this body and then he would face the legendary Seven lightning strikes that severed one from their mortality, each strike representing one of the seven cardinal sins.
