Chapter 481 - The Aftermath ( 1 ) (1/2)
Almost half an hour had passed before Wallace decided to check the previous battlefield which is now a huge crater.
The aliens, the spaceships, the corpses, almost everything that was left behind had vanished.
He extended his Divine Sense as much as he can to find the Celestial and Imperial Prince but…
”I can't find them…”
Wallace muttered as he looked around. He wasn't surprised if the prince had actually perished but for the Celestial to die with him?
Wallace feels like that shouldn't happen.
As he was planning to continue with his search, he suddenly received Avalon's report regarding the capsules that has managed to leave the planet.
[ One of the Escape Capsules was captured. One was destroyed and last one has managed to escape. ]
”How did the last one escape?”
Wallace asked in confusion.
Before the Third Great Offensive had even started, he ordered Avalon to send the three Mid-Size Battleships and 20 Chronos to orbit the planet. This is why he wasn't too worried that the capsules would be able to fully escape.*
It was only a small capsule! Even if it wanted to escape, it wouldn't be able to! The small vessel would need massive energy to outmaneuver the spaceships in outer space after all.
However, Avalon's answer cleared his doubts.
[ It was reported by the magicians that they've seen a wormhole appear in front of the capsule before they both vanished. ]
”Tsk… So they still have that final trick, huh…” Wallace sighed.
There was nothing that he could do about that so he can only accept the reality.
”Alright… That's fine… But just in case, have some of the Chronos to search at least a hundred A.U… That wormhole's other end may not be that far from here.”
[ Affirmative. The twenty Chronos will be operated by a total of 40 Automatons and will handle the task. ]
Wallace was not hoping to find it but he wanted to at least try before giving up.
”Also, carefully investigate the content of that capsule you captured. Make sure to do it somewhere safe. It might be a trap so keep it in mind. Right, if the crews on Moon Base wanted to return here. Just let them be.”
[ Affirmative. The order will be sent to Manager Escanor. The investigation will proceed after a completely safe environment was established. ]
”Mhmm.” Wallace nodded as he was satisfied with Avalon's arrangement.
”By the way, did you manage to download everything from the Flagship?” Wallace then recalled how the spiderbot tried to crack the database of the Flagship.
[ Negative. I only managed to copy 65% data before the explosion occurred. ]
”Sixty-five? That's already impressive. I'll look into it later--Wait, is there anything related to Zymeth Spaceship?”
Wallace suddenly tensed up after recalling this. He immediately asked Avalon with hopes of hearing some good news.
[ Yes. Collecting information now… ]
