The mood among the Ascended Giants assigned to the Bluejay Fleet remained glum during the return journey.
As soon as the Dark Apostle reluctantly shrunk his true body and relinquished control back to Ves, the former also foisted this mess onto his other self.
"I am not good with this stuff. You deal with this problem."
Ves grimaced but did not reject this responsibility.
As a leading figure and a former patriarch, he was no stranger to sacrifice. He had driven the lives of many Larkinsons to their deaths due to his decisions and mistakes.
This time was no different except for the fact that this was the first time that two Ascended Giants fell as a consequence of his orders and decisions.
He could not escape culpability for the losses suffered during the reconnaissance mission.
Suffice to say, the surviving giants did not feel happy about this. They had been thrown into an adverse situation and had been forced to confront a completely unfamiliar alien super enemy.
