World Seed

The next two days passed in relative silence. Most of the time I spent perfecting my new lifeblood armor form, and integrating it into my battle form. While I can’t claim to be completely indestructible, there shouldn’t be anything at this point in time that can hurt me faster than I can heal. At least, not unless they do soul attacks. I have yet to find a foolproof method of defense against that.

Anyways, I stood alone in the vastness of space, the great ring of metal in front of me making up the warp gate. The fleet and everyone in it had already been moved into my grove, so it was time to begin the operation. Even with these new powers, I wasn’t quite arrogant enough to think that I could take on the entire enemy fleet by myself.

Before going into the grove, Celeste had installed an ‘auto-dial’ feature into the gate, which would cause it to open a path to their main base without an activation signal after a set amount of time. That way, I didn’t have to have someone out here with me in order to start the process. So I stood there, waiting as the blue light gradually filled the ring, steadily forming the portal.

No, I am not just stalling for time. I’m not nervous. This is just the biggest fight of my life, and I am walking into a firing squad composed of ships the size of small countries! Okay, maybe I am a little nervous. It doesn’t help that Malthan seems to have been paying extra attention to me lately.
