In spite of your true form being the height of power- or, indeed, perhaps because of it- you have reached a plateau that your natural power simply can no longer surpass. You must finally awaken new strength and overcome your limitations, such as they are. It’s not enough to simply be strong; those who oppose you can grow stronger, so why can’t you? It’s time to show them all the fearsome might of your evolution.
