After I gave the Dragon King a visit, it seemed apparent that he didn't want to cooperate.
That was fine because I don't think he was capable of helping me in the first place, but anyway, his arrogance got on my nerves when he wasn't even all that, so I let him perish a little earlier than perhaps he had planned.
That was one Transcendent down.
Following that, both the Northern Star and Lord of the East were also incapable of giving me what I needed―though, judging by their attitude, I'm sure the former would want nothing to do with me even if they could.
I didn't necessarily expect them to be able to do much, but it was worth a shot.
That makes three Transcendents.
Then, I decided to visit some of the other inhuman Transcendents―the Necrotic Overlord, Nameless Flood, and Sojourn Storm of Slumber. Some of them were chaotic, but none of their behaviours warranted death like the initial Dragon King, so I spared them.
