We may not know what it is they're after, but whatever it is clearly has something to do with the Skyboulder!
[k]
@Limbo
Therefore, the answer is obvious! All you need do is focus your godly power on breaking it apart!
[k]
@Limbo
Even if the Skyboulder has endured your cataclysms up to this point, a being of your abilities should still be able to destroy it if you focus solely on[line 2]

I've started to get a little bored.
[k]
@
But, I'm still fine. Totally, totally fine.
[k]

I can easily use my god powers to make new games or summon existing ones. I've got everything I need here. I can do whatever I want.
Video games are the pinnacle of human civilization. If you get tired of one, you can always move on to another.
[k]
@
Man, this is so much fun. I love grinding and leveling up. I love looking for rare items.
[k]
@
And if I run out of things to do, there's no end of different challenge runs to try. The sense of achievement I get from beating those is all the sweeter since I'm just doing them for their own sake. I'm having the time of my life here.
No. Not yet. I can still. Keep going.[sr]After all...

What's wrong with helping a woman who can barely stand? Sita would never have a problem with that.

Besides, Alakshmi is Lakshmi's sister,[sr]which also makes you Sita's sister.

Surely there can't be anything wrong with a man caring for his sister-in-law.
