[Claude usually prides himself on his quick mind, but even he's visibly struggling to grasp this.] Either I'm a lot less observant than I thought I was, or... I've never seen you do that.

[The teleporting thing, anyway. As for his combat prowess, Claude chalked it up to pure skill... but what if a lot of it really was interfering with time all along?]

Maybe because Sothis seems to have more power as you are now, that in turn gave you greater abilities. The Sword of the Creator is one thing, but altering time itself... That really is the power of a god.
