Preparation For Battle.

He began speaking about the upcoming battle after explaining the divine ability of the Vipers.

"There are good news and bad news about the upcoming battle. First, the bad news. They have nine paragons. There could have been more, but that means the power of each one will be weakened. Nine of them is just perfect to put their power at the Sovereign level."

Paragons are stronger the more connections they have. The world fragment has limited their connections to a total of 3 million. The more paragons they have, the fewer connections each one of them can get and the weaker they will be overall. Instead, they chose quality over quantity. Everyone else is limited to the transcendent level while they are at the Sovereign level. 

"None of you can match them, so you will have to leave most of them to me. The second bad news is that the Vipers are stronger than us individually."
