Since we don't know what Tartarus might do, it's better if we hurry in our objective and search for its Core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll do that tomorrow. For today, you should focus on stabilizing your internal energy. You need to do that as you just broke through.

Neo could tell she was meditating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was that necessary?\" he asked her, exasperated slightly. \"I know you are a God, but your injuries aren't light. It wouldn't do you good if you try to antagonize Elizabeth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't help it. She acts like a cutie when she gets jealous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo sensed Elizabeth's energy flaring when Zera called her 'cutie'.
