Storming The Council 4

"The Supreme Council that Madam Portia revealed was established only 50 years ago, in response to the increasing number of combatants qualified to enter the First Gate.

"It was also necessary to filter the membership to those who actually had significant achievements as well as the power to be a bastion in times of need. Some of you here probably feel indignant about being left out of the loop of such a power circle, but what's the point of adding you if you're not even qualified to enter?"

Without entering the First Gate and seeing the true scope of the power of other universes as well as their tactics, you could never truly understand.
