That's what it's called? I'd forgotten...I think I'll keep calling it what I have been in my head, lol: Mystery Science Theater Simulation

So you're saying that someone can just spontaneously create gunpowder without knowing how to refine, distill, purify and safely react the substances that go into its production? How about knowing which materials are not and cannot be strong enough to be used to contain and direct the pressure produced by a gunshot, and those materials which are or can be made so? Because that is chemical technology. Arguably, just knowing that baking soda and vinegar react to create carbon dioxide and a couple other substances(I think water and salt?) is chemistry, technically, and the activity of reacting the two is chemical engineering, but that knowledge is a technology. A technique based on an understanding of how the world works that has been tested and retested for accuracy. One does not need electronics for technology to be a thing. Before humans even discovered that electricity could be channeled and used and even produced without requiring a lightning bolt there was technology. A water wheel or windmill are perfect example of mechanical technologies. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that technology is only ever anything that uses batteries or plugs into a wall. It is FAR more expansive than that.

...underwater? or did he already surface?

I mean, you don't need to be an ornithologist to know you don't mess with chickens, so why would you need to be a marinologist-nope! that sounds like a scientist who studies marinades! - marine biologist to know that you don't mess with shark-jousting, gang-r***ng dolphins? They're not quite orca evil, but they're getting there.

Perhaps "He noticed a distinct/marked/substantial/statistically significant/major/particular/noteworthy..."?

Every time the author has used "Madness", even though I know it refers to "Insanity", or more like "Inspiration of the Insane" or "Crazy Genius", some part of my brain somewhere, without fail, whispers "he's an Angry Scientist! His name is Angora, the Angry Scientist!" and I have to spend a couple seconds to try and stop myself from giggling.

Did...he not just last chapter put the Basilisk King back into the hibernation zone? Did I miss Sylas pulling his massive snake out again?

a week? but the timer only goes up to hours...

Hmm...his gaze should be approaching Absolute Zero pretty soon, shouldn't it?
