"There's no point keeping it," said Aldrich "It isn't my property in the first place And if it stays intact, the Panopticon e data from it Better to scrap it"

"Understood," said Volantis "Shall I stitch so to allow for easier destruction of this vessel?"

"No need I have h firepower to deal with this," said Aldrich

Aldrich knelt down and channeled his [Mist Phase] Greenhis body as his body becaly transparent and obscured He phased out of the plane, floating in the air using Volantis's stitched wings

"Ah" Chiros looked at the artwork he had created, realized it would soon be broken down, and slumped his shoulders "It is of no matter, my lord There is also a certain beauty in art that is meant to fade
