After finishing his discussion with Morgan, Aaron sat in his chair with his brow furrowed.
He had far too much on his hands right now. He needed some time to sort it all out.
His struggle for supremacy against Be'lakor.
Investigating Balduran's secrets and finding Rogal Dorn's final destination.
Nurgle's test of boundless love.
The threat of the Great Horned Rat's Skaven Tide.
The plan to recover Bhaal's divinity.
Now he also had to rescue Waukeen, the goddess of wealth, from the Abyss. All these matters weighed on Aaron, making his scalp prickle. His troubles just kept piling up.
But the greater problem was Aaron himself.
As his adventures continued to escalate, Aaron could already feel that his current strength was no longer enough.
Aaron was currently an adventurer at the peak of Master rank. Transforming into the avatar of the Golden Law or unleashing the Chaos Gods' powers gave him enough strength to contend with Legendary opponents. With Drach'nyen in hand, he could even barely hold his own against some powerful divine enemies. But his enemies had now risen to Legendary or even Quasi-Deity rank. Be'lakor, Malkizid, and Malcanthet were all full-fledged Quasi-Deities.
Though Bhaal had already fallen, his lingering divine power and will could still influence his godspawn. Beyond those enemies, Lolth the Spider Queen, the archdevils of Hell, and Six-Fingers Graz'zt of the Abyss were all difficult opponents.
Cyric, the Dark Sun at the pinnacle of Greater Deity rank, had been inactive lately because he was engrossed in "a great invention." Given Cyric's nature, Aaron would have to fight him sooner or later.
In truth, Master-rank strength was already enough to do as one pleased in most parts of the Realms, but it still wasn't enough for Aaron.
He needed to advance to Legendary rank as soon
