"Eh?"

A mock sort of surprise flitted across the homunculus's face at Ivy's question, which then shifted into amusement. "What sort of question is that? I call it a freak because it's a freak. It's like Father's always said, calling whatever it is a tree is off the mark. The Adventurer's Guild officially has it classified as a tree-class monster with a mutation that gives it abnormal spiritual strength, which makes its poisons and its control domain off the charts, on top of letting it control magical energy inside that domain. But, here's the snag, it doesn't matter how strong your spirit is, creating a domain that controls the world within a specific area like that is impossible with methods like that. Doing the impossible, what else do you call that but a freak?"

Shrugging haplessly, Two let out a chuckle under his breath, an unseemly look for one of his apparent age. "If you ask Father, though, then it's not that Yggdrasil has that spiritual strength because it's a mutation, it's that it has that spiritual strength because [i]it's the only one that's not mutated[/i]. As for what that means, only Yggdrasil and Father know. My Total Appraisal might be at the peak, but I don't have the insight needed to make perfect use of it, like owning a library but only knowing a handful of languages."

At Iris's other remark, though, he nodded slightly. "...hm, yeah, that probably has something to do with it. Injection by a foreign source, divine intervention maybe, who knows. It's probably nothing special though, so don't go getting a bloated ego; I said We've seen this before, after all, and the last person We saw who had that sort of information got full of himself, grabbed a sword, and went charging into that dungeon that not even Yggdrasil knows the contents of, despite it being in his forest. Don't be like that idiot. Also probably stay away from Father's tower. I'll be reporting this all to him, so if you decide to visit, odds are he'll make you an experiment in an attempt to work that information out of you."
