"Now, give me the news, Apexis?" said Skullius nervously. "How much Focused Null Life Ota did you collect?"
"Precious little, my Liege," said the Apostle with a vaporous face. "At least, when accounting for just how much we need."
Skullius shuddered almost as much as the [Avant Atelier]. It seemed to grow even more violent as it attempted to process, calibrate, and harmonise everything it had devoured before – the sludge left after the Stellar members were struck by the Ichor and their Treasures.
"I thought hunting Deities of a high caliber would afford us a lot of Primordial Mass. Are we that far off from 250,000 units?" he said, wincing, bracing.
Apexis hesitated. "I collected only 77 units, my Liege. I apologize."
Skullius melted and face-palmed.
"It's no fault of yours. I should have known better than to overstate my expectations. The lesser Deities barely add to the Ota count." The Hybrid clicked his tongue.
