They had gained their strength through Aleks's own powers and hadn't earned it themselves. Because of this, there was still a disconnect between their mental growth and their physical growth. They had the power of Legendary beings, but not the composure and breadth of mind as one.
"I will display my might. No more games. The World shall eventually be mine and this is the beginning."
