'Estea' couldn't, for the life of 'her', understand their lack of instinct for self-preservation. Even after witnessing the system nearly crash and their Race Ruler Authorities deactivate—an event that should have sent them fleeing for their lives—they had lingered.
Why weren't they afraid? Why didn't they grasp the gravity of an existence that could make something as fundamental as the Universe's Ruler Authority system malfunction?
With a shake of 'her' head, 'Estea' turned 'her' attention back to Jamie who was searching through Kumal's soul.
Kumal was a Deity Level 400, vastly stronger than Jamie in his current state. Searching his soul would have been nearly impossible for Jamie under normal circumstances—unless he shattered Kumal's mental defences first. To do that, he needed to deliver a blow so devastating it would leave the elf's mind in ruins.
