The Impossible Conduit! (2)

Before Grim left the Permanent Haven…

The Unlimited Star kept nodding furiously with a thoughtful expression after Asthon had explained his reasoning – his theory for how all beasts could transcend their limits. During the explanation, he kept finding chances to scold Hauza and Azila who were still dumbfounded by some of the things the old bird said were possible.

But as excellent as the old bird's reasoning was, there was one snag. He explained it to Grim who couldn't find a way around it either.

There was indeed a problem. The Deities, as Grim now came to understand after being given dense insight, were actually hard on beasts not because they favoured humans more. Beasts had less restrictions over what they could achieve – at least in terms of raw power. Theoretically, they could get insanely powerful simply by increasing their Tiers. They didn't have limitations like Tasks and Trials, after all.
