Prologue 04: Ruins and Remains
World Crystals? Interesting...
The brief exchange did tell Thanacheir a great deal. First, this was a military-style organization. Second, they were active on multiple worlds, making them the likely cause of most, if not all, of the reported disturbances. And third, they were after the World Crystals, which meant they had a means of not only finding, but also affecting them. Equally enlightening was that they didn't know about her, and therefore were unaffiliated with Vi. She wondered which world they had originated on, but that was of later concern. First, there would be battle.
The slippery blackness caused IkaDevil to wring itself from her grasp, but even as her regenerative abilities were kicking in to fight the pain caused by its acidic effect, her mind was already working to use the darkness to her advantage. Calling her weapon and armor to her, for there was no longer a reason for secrecy, she jumped through the cloud to where she believed IkaDevil likely was. She was assuming that since she could not see through the cloud, then IkaDevil's vision would be similarly affected, which in turn meant he would not be expecting a fully armed and armored figure to come charging out at him.
Thanks to IkaDevil's unintentional revelation, she would have plenty of information to send back to her God, but it would be even better if she could send IkaDevil's soul itself to merge with the infinite collective consciousness under Vi's management and care, where its memories would be accessible to him directly. Jumping out of the cloud, her weapon was already moving in a wide, horizontal swing, intending to cover a wide area to maximize the chance to find IkaDevil within its deadly arc.
