"There are other System Lords," he replied, still not rejecting the Godhood notion but wondering how Joker had figured it out.. "But I am the strongest among them, and am thus the leader of the Empire." Looking around, he saw that either more Challengers had arrived or there were more locals that had somehow made it through the barrier that seemed to surround this place. "Hello newcomers," he said with a slight bow. "I am Ba'al, one of the people who will be partaking in the Challenges that have been arranged for us in the coming month."
