The Tiny World was actually beginning to feel like a Tribulation all the time lately.
The energy of a Tribulation took weeks or months to fade from a mountain range in the real world, and the Tiny World trapped the energy that was pulled into it. So now, with two advancing at once, Rue could actually taste the Divine Lightning in the air for the Tribulations.
The mortals hadn’t really realized it yet, and she didn’t think that the Immortals had either.
They could feel the lingering lightning energy in the air, but they weren’t far enough along the progression that they could feel the faintest traces of Divinity in the air.
Except maybe that Divine Lightning hatchling. She seemed far too happy to not be perfectly immersed in her element.
Technically, the Divine Lightning Dragons were actually a low Immortal species, and the Tribulation Dragons had a higher maximum potential than them, but when exposed to Divine energy, they had a faster growth rate through the Immortal Realms.
She had spent millennia studying the evolutionary pathways of dragons and the various adaptations that they had developed while she was trying to survive the first world she had landed on.
She also knew an immense amount about the vulnerabilities of other species, but she had put the most work into dragons. Not just because they were the core of many enemy forces, but because studying them helped her own growth.
Both in that world and this one, she was known as a brilliant strategist, and her experience was telling her that the little blue troublemaker was going to soar to the stars living here in the Tiny World with its nearly perfect growth environment.
She understood how the spell worked, though she didn’t know it herself.
But she had never seen one that was quite this well-adjusted to growth. It had to be a side effect of being made by a Beast Master, and then altered when he became a Pet Tamer. This was definitely Karl’s space, and she could feel the distinctive power of the Pet Sitter Class.
That class was not something that humans were supposed to get.
A fact that was confirmed when she saw the [Lesser Watchers]. They were a reduced version of the Divine Helpers that the World Dragon himself sent to oversee worlds. Normally, such a class and skill would only become available to one of the Ancients, a primordial species far older than humanity, or to the World Dragons themselves.
Though, she couldn’t guarantee that Karl was actually a human. He was using that form now, and that’s what people here saw him as. But what if he had done like she had, and evolved beyond his base species?
She accepted that she had been tricked by him as a child, and he wasn’t a Tengu. She could sense that it was a disguise when she saw it again. But his human form didn’t feel natural either.
More like it was a placeholder, designed to blend imperfectly with the population.
