5240 The Defeated

Ves rightfully feared what a Star Designer could do to him. It did not matter that the Survivalists claimed that they had her under control. It did not matter that the Polymath had sincerely conveyed her surrender and intention to stop any hostile actions.

Star Designers were True Gods. They were transcendent energy-based life forms that had completely shed their mortal roots. It was all too easy for these powerful beings to disregard the interests and sanctity of lesser organisms.

Though Ves considered himself to be a lot more special compared to an ordinary mortal, he was acutely aware that he was far from being able to negotiate with the Polymath as an equal.

Perhaps his mother could do so, but she was an entire galaxy away.

While Ves was most definitely wary of a Star Designer who had demonstrated the capacity to plan out exceptionally ambitious schemes, he did not allow his fears to dictate his behavior.
