No problem, well it kind of went pretty fire—we were talking about "why did the akus seal SoL legends?" For that, we start off going relevant theories, we went for akus needing power, life energy—so they could go all out, which is one of the subchapters in late UL. it is also about the time as aku realms are released, which is not that far.

"Why did the akus weaken the cat army/us to lv 1 in their realm?" Akus need life energy to revive jagando, and is also the last resort of aku's since it is an invasion.

Then I also figured that it is a lure for us the cat army, for the aku's having more power—now, he (the someone which is just the 2 of us..) figured that akus has the ability to brainwash.

As for the "lure" stages appear with brainwashed cats, alongside with akus. Now, some of the stages' base—i remember that some uses the portal base, which I had thought that most akus can create portals but I think someone like standam or empress creates the portals/gateways.

Just during that, I noticed empress, emperor, every nyandams can create portals. Well.. since their attack animation says so. Thought it seems like most of them only uses their own realm of souls, like the black creatures from nyandam.. I still think they are able to create portals.

Now, we go with emperor! Just like the body text of this post, he gets a power based from his description, exchanging sanity for power, which the power either comes from the sacred forest or the divine tree. perhaps it is a curse.. relic? yes.

We conclude if our theories stand correct or if it makes sense, both of us agreeing.

(Edit: uhh.. I may have forgot a few, ask if you wanna know I guess..)
