Karl began the work of deactivating the tower, so it was no longer considered an Immortal Rank magical item, and then began layering the extra runes that he wanted onto the stones of the tower, adding the extra functions to study and create mental puzzles.
Those were all fairly simple additions, as they were just changes to the options for the existing trials within the towers, and the change was as much about intent as it was about the actual runes.
But that was where things could get tricky.
If Rue didn’t fully understand what Karl was trying to do with the tower, then there was a good chance that her upgrade attempt would fail, or she would only manage to upgrade a portion of the trial.
Though, even if she just upgraded the combat trials, that would likely be enough, as they were the only ones that involved dealing damage.
Rue watched as Karl upgraded the tower, and then read the System message that he sent her, detailing the changes that he was making so that he didn’t have to explain it out loud for everyone to hear.
Keeping some things to themselves was better.
If the Avatar was going to watch everything so that he could pass it on to his own people, they would make him guess about some of the aspects. It might actually be better, as it would lead to innovation, and the Demigods of his Clan would certainly have at least a few unique ideas about how a trial tower should work.
And if they had new ideas about how it should work, then Karl could use those ideas the next time that he made a tower after seeing them.
He knew his own limitations in the realms of creativity. He wouldn’t presume that he had more unique and effective ideas than everyone else combined. Far from it.
In fact, it appeared that he wasn’t even going to be considered the most innovative in this branch of the Guild, as Cara and Rue were conferring about changes to make to the Tower as it was improved to the Supreme Rank.
They were trying to hide their conversations, but Cara wasn’t that good at hiding her thoughts when she was talking to other people, and Karl suspected that she was keeping them open so that she could get additional input from Rae on the topic of trial alterations.
They had both helped with the original building of the tower, but now they had more ideas about what could be added to it, and little things that could be changed to make the trials more exciting, since they were rebuilding it anyhow.
Karl had made the basic changes to the runes, as he had done the first set, and understood them best.
But Rue would be the one that made the finalized version, as she was the one at Supreme Rank, so her vision would be the one that created the finalized trial.
And while Karl had many great ideas about trials, Rue had spent thousands of years at war in the Immortal Realms, and her knowledge of battle tactics was far superior to what anyone else in the group possessed.
With that extra experience, she could make trials that would test the group in all new ways, forcing them to think in new ways, and making the upper levels difficult on a level that was completely unrelated to the actual targets.
