The appearance of the giant crow of light astonished everyone.
Junior ace pilots and ace mechs rarely if ever produced such manifestations!
Rare and special resonating exotics such as the recently developed URI-2461-V6 may be capable of shaping power in such a sophisticated form, but the Amaranto Mark III did not integrate these materials!
What made all of the difference in this instance was the accumulation of Ascension Runes.
Ves still possessed a deep understanding of one of his own masterwork mechs. He knew for certain that neither he nor his wife had applied any major upgrades or alterations on the mech frame. He could definitely rule out these possibilities to explain why Saint Stark had gained a brand-new ability.
As for Davia Stark herself, it was highly unlikely that she could rely on her extraordinary willpower and her companion spirit to distort reality to such a massive extent.
Within the range of her Saint Kingdom, she was capable of distorting reality in ways that other mortals could never imagine.
Yet Ves did not believe that she could completely change the characteristics of an energy beam to this degree by exerting her spirit and willpower alone!
What about the design spirit?
Ves had already ruled out this possible explanation. The Illustrious One may be able to replicate this phenomenon, but only if he was able to pierce through the dark miasma that dampened every external spiritual connection, which was impossible!
Now that Ves thought about it, it made sense for the deathborn to go through all of this trouble of creating this hostile and isolating environment.
In a high-energy environment like the interior of Messier 87, True Gods must be extremely prevalent.
Many of them likely developed the ability to project their power remotely across many light-years.
If the deathborn wanted to defeat any alien force, then it seemed prudent and maybe even necessary to cut off any chance for the latter to call for immediate assistance!
