As the enemy retreated, the wounded Energy Beings fought over the ability to absorb the lesser beings that had been created, somewhat healing themselves as the ones created from Max's power instinctively returned to him with a flare of absorbed power.
This power converted much more smoothly, and Max felt his body change a little bit more, but he didn't fully absorb the power this time. Some of it seemed to be held in a reserve, ready to be used again the way that he had directed it into his weapons during the fight.
That was the only effective way to fight a Greater Energy Being. If you coated yourself in their energy, you could turn it against them and cause much greater damage than any conventional weapon had managed so far. One Disintegrator and a sword had done as much damage as the entire team of Colony Ships had done during the battle, lending credence to the legends that the God Class Mecha were a terrifying sight to behold in a fight.
Max returned to Creeping Darkness, where Sylvie was proudly standing in the cargo bay, waiting for him.
"I've got atmospheric and gravity systems online in this bay. You can safely park anywhere you like and return to the Cutter." She announced.
"Excellent work Sylvie. Do you know who is working on the edits of the digital footage, or is Nico sending them to Rae 5 in their raw form?" Max asked. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on N0vel-B1n.
"She intends to send all the footage as it is so that it can be edited there, based on their needs. Any sensitive information has already been scrubbed from the records." Sylvie replied.
If Max and the others were going to be leaving the area, they didn't need to be here any longer, and there were dozens of potential battles for them to join.
"Do we even have any ideas where to start looking for information on the God Class Mecha?" Max asked.
Sylvie raised her hand like an excited student. "I have an idea now. There are energy signatures in the data that I got from the other AI minds that match with technology from the time of my construction. If we go to where those signatures are found, there might be something intact for us to recover, and possibly even surviving technology from related fields.
The God Class Mecha were the pinnacle of the technique, but the Energy Beings had a whole culture based on that branch of science, some of which humans managed to adapt."
"Well now, that is good news. Plot all the locations on the map of the region, and we will start planning to visit them all before we return to assist the Alliance. Also, prepare me an estimated trip duration so that I can send it back to the fleet. Once they have that, they can start sending out new propaganda messages foreshadowing our arrival."
"And what of Mary Tarith? The others reported that she has been quite insistent about having you found, and your presence reported to her immediately." Sylvie asked.
Nico smirked at the concerned AI. "She will have to make do with our updates and combat footage for now. We will stop in to see her as soon as we return home." "Understood Commanders."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
