While Lucky remained utterly confused in a chamber full of dull white crystals, the battle outside of the cosmopolitan flagship was intensifying!
The cosmopolitan and native aliens fleet had already begun this battle on the backfoot, but now that the largest cosmopolitan sub-capital warship lost her Mentalist Crystal, her performance dropped by a noticeable margin!
Her responses became slower, her predictions became less accurate and she was able to provide less good directions to the surviving mechs and escort ships.
Although the cosmopolitans were far too radical to give in to despair, they nonetheless fought more urgently than before when they noticed that they were suffering losses at a faster rate than before.
"Our lives may be forfeit, but we shall ultimately prevail!"
"There is no way a single junior ace mech can defeat the lesser and greater gods of the alien community!"
"For a pluralistic society!"
