"Hohoho. You have nothing to worry about, my dear Hani." Ancient Gartod laughed with great satisfaction as the final bit of the trapped Ancient's soul entered his body.
A brilliant explosion of fireworks seemed to fill his entire soul as Ancient Gartod broke the captured soul into pieces and allowed it to nurture his own.
The power of the soul would always be strongest if it was near its body. The fact that the enemy Ancient dared to travel so far away from his body to attack Ancient Gartod in his battlecruiser was evidence of how powerful and how confident he was of defeating Ancient Gartod.
And during his brief fight with the enemy, Ancient Gartod knew for a fact that he was completely outclassed by his enemy as well.
He had immediately recognized the fact that he would be defeated within a few short minutes, and was preparing to self-destruct to bring his enemy with him.
