500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"So, if you look around, all of your people are lying on the ground twitching. What do you think? Can I help your people, or would you rather everyone die?" I asked her seriously, and Gaara went silent for a moment.

Then she slowly put her hands up in surrender and let out a long sigh.

"You win," She said, and I nodded.

"Of course I do. I am using magic, and you don't use it, nor do you know how to defend against it. I could get a big iron bar and kill you all because you don't know how to use weapons or don armor. What good is being strong if you get beat by everyone else's abilities?" I asked as all the Amazons slowly got up, and Gaara stood up, rubbing her head.

"We don't understand magic," Gaara admitted, and I nodded.

"That is why I am here!" I said cheerfully. "I want to help your people with the knowledge they need to survive, so not just in fighting with weapons, but also learning how to use their minds and create better lives for themselves."

Gaara eyed me for a long moment before nodding slowly. "You can help if you can make us stronger than our enemies," She said finally, and I smiled widely.

"Lady Gaara, you will be surprised by what I can do! We will start training tomorrow morning at dawn! Be there, ready to learn!" I exclaimed, but Gaara narrowed her eyes.

"Our enemy is the Catfolk! You!" Gaara said.

"Is that really what you would do if I gave you the power, you spineless coward? You would still go and attack the weakest race?" I asked, starting to feel like I was going to give this witch another jolt of inspiration. "What have they done to you? The way I see it, this comment paints you as a clear problem that can't move forward if that is all you can think about."

This time Gaara went silent for a few moments and seemed to finally be considering my words.

"Think about it; there are stronger adversaries out there than the Catfolk. Islands full of them that you were too weak to face before," I said in a softer tone. "If you truly want to become powerful, you had the best start thinking about what you plan to use that for. If not, I can do something much worse than kills you all. I will make you all into human-sized women with the same level of strength. At least this way, I know that you wouldn't be able to bother my kittens anymore."

Gaara thought about this for a long moment before nodding slowly. "We will think more on your words," the Amazon said, and I nodded before lifting off into the air.

On my way out, I couldn't help but think that maybe Giantessa was right; these Amazons were going to be more trouble than they were worth. Even after all that, all I got was an I'll think about it. I had half a mind to go black and hit them all with another lightning bolt!

But I kept flying, and eventually, my Cat-Robin met back up with me and showed me what she had seen about the other parts of the islands. The other two tribes seemed a bit more organized, but they seemed to be fighting or something like that. It was hard to tell from the images that the Cat-Robin sent me with the mappings, so I opened a portal and flew through into a more temperate region of the island.

As I flew over, I could see the two other tribes of Amazons. One tribe was made up mostly of women in their twenties to thirties, and the other seemed to have more older women than young ones. It looked like both tribes were ready for a fight, but when they saw me flying in from the sky, they stopped short and just watched me with wide eyes.

"I thought Catfolk couldn't fly?" One of them yelled out, and I chuckled before landing between the two tribes.

"You are looking at the Cat God; I can do anything," I said with a smirk, my wings unfolding behind me as the amazons inspected me carefully.

"So you are offering us help? What do you want in return?" The elder Amazon asked fiercely, and I lifted an eyebrow. She looked to be close to 7'6, and she was in a mesh robe that was closed, but it was clear from the large nipples sticking through that she wore nothing under it.

"Oh, come on, you don't even know what I am offering yet," I said playfully, and she smiled softly before nodding.

"Our Tribe is on the verge of fighting with the Ares Tribe. They think like the Lancer, but they are smarter than the other tribe making up for their shorter height. They know why you are here and don't want to lose their way," The elder Amazon explained, and I looked around at the women that seemed on edge, but I could see actual thoughts going on inside their heads. This was good, and it made me think there might be some silver lining after all.

"Interesting. What is it that you and the other Sila want? Are you willing to learn a new way?" I asked, but then added. "I really had lost hope talking with Gaara, but you seem to be more reasonable. My name is Galio if you don't already know it."

"My name is Gilesh, and Ares' leader is Bobby Sue. Honestly, I want things to change, but I feel like my mother in this regard. It feels like no matter how hard we try, each group is filled with those who refuse to change, and the few that do can't gain any ground with the ones that don't. It feels like an endless cycle of nothing ever getting down and then taking it out on other races that are weak enough for us to fight," the elder explained, and I sighed.
