Simon kept thinking about the Guardian Court as they walked.
He wasn't surprised that The Abyss had powerful members who rarely appeared. An organisation that had survived through seven Sovereigns would hardly reveal everyone it could call upon.
What mattered was whether those hidden Daemons were enough to make its enemies hesitate.
An attack on The Abyss might succeed. But if the attackers expected to lose several gods, perhaps even someone stronger, they would have to consider whether the result was worth it.
The problem was that Simon couldn't judge either side.
Enigma didn't know how many members the Guardian Court had, and the previous Sovereigns might all be dead. Simon couldn't count on six ancient rulers appearing whenever the current one needed help.
He glanced at Enigma, then returned his attention to the road.
Even with those uncertainties, joining was probably his best option.
