Kukulus's words revealed two pieces of information.
First, Kukulus knew that Luigi was a Time Doppelgänger and even knew that there was a great existence behind Luigi. That was also why Kukulus was willing to "accommodate" Luigi and take the initiative to shrink himself.
However, Kukulus seemingly did not know Laplace's identity.
When his gaze swept over Laplace, it showed no reverence whatsoever.
The second piece of information revealed by those words was that Kukulus had "grown."
Earlier, Angel had been somewhat puzzled about the riddle Luigi and Kukulus were speaking in, but after hearing Kukulus's explanation, he understood.
The central figure was still that miniature dragon... Babaregon.
According to Kukulus, as Babaregon's childhood companion, he had still clung to the pride of a "cave dragon" back then. He had shown no respect and never accommodated Babaregon, leaving Babaregon's young heart to suffer grievance.
Now, Kukulus declared that he had already "grown."

That was roughly what it meant.

"Wait." Kukulus interrupted Luigi, glancing around. At some point, faint outlines in all kinds of colors had appeared
