The sheer dominance that Rui displayed was beyond impressive, having essentially defeated an army of powerful elite pathwalkers all by himself. NOVA had tried her best to manipulate the tekvores into defeating him with ease, and yet she found that she was simply unable to successfully outmaneuver him.
This was despite the fact that her raw resources were greater than Rui's. Rui only had his body and the limited amount of energy that it could produce. She, on the other hand, controlled many tekvores and indirectly controlled the evolutionaries and the giants, too.
She had more raw output than Rui, but Rui had managed to win nonetheless.
"You are a fool for wanting to control your pathwalkers." Rui's tone was one of disdain. "They are weaker under your control. Do you understand?"
His pitch-black eyes sharpened. "You are the liability, not them."
Those words were like a slap to her face. […I am the liability, you say?]
