The room was quiet as Aksai stared at the formation map floating in front of him.
His mind was still turning over the pieces he had gathered so far.
Nuri spoke after a brief pause.
[Master, may I ask something?]
"Go ahead," Aksai replied without looking away.
[If the Mroot Yaksha Lord truly survived the 3rd Order One Thousand Deaths Poison,] Nuri said, [would he even be capable of targeting all the other Lords?]
Aksai stopped moving. He raised his hand and slowly rubbed his chin.
"You're right," he said after thinking for a moment. "If he is still alive, he wouldn't be in good shape."
He let out a slow breath.
"The One Thousand Deaths Poison doesn't just kill," Aksai continued. "Even if it failed, the aftereffects would still be there. His body, his Spirit core, even his mind would be damaged."
He shook his head slightly.
"On his own, he wouldn't be able to plan and carry out attacks on so many Lords," Aksai said. "Not in that condition."
Nuri listened in silence.
