Since Zaria had come into contact with him, even if briefly, he was now able to pretty much track her at all times.
Obviously, he had no weird intentions. However, the fact of the matter was, he didn't want her accidentally getting herself killed.
After all, new timeline, new possibilities. For all he knew, she would run into some invader trying to kill him.
And of course, they would just so happen to swat her away.
Zaria, much like in the past, seemed pretty strong. Definitely stronger than Kael, but much, much weaker than Neraxis.
If he had to estimate, she was around S- or A+ ranked, which, for her age, was actually incredibly good.
Then again... I wonder if I could somehow jog either of our memories... Neraxis thought.
Alice and the others were able to do it, so why couldn't he?
While he was affected by the mind override, he had clearly seen himself nearly break free of it several times.
