Chapter 965: Mood
Khan heaved a helpless sigh. At his feet, a gory puddle expanded, dragging mangled organs and chunks of flesh with it. Occasionally, strands of white fur would pop out, only to immerse themselves into the spreading blood.
The white alpha obviously didn't surrender. It couldn't understand that simple concept, let alone Khan's words. The creature had kept trying to absorb the pack's energy to heal itself, but the damage had been too great, and the lingering sense of destruction that had invaded it eventually made it fall apart.
The mighty, unique specimen had crumbled into a disgusting puddle of blood, organs, flesh, and bones. Senerth's strongest son had such an unsightly end, and Khan knew it didn't deserve it. Its place was on the planet's throne, striving to surpass its species' limits. Sadly, the alpha was on Khan's path.
'How much more blood?' Khan wondered, recalling alien words. 'How many more rivers?' Khan didn't want to think about the answer. He had it already but was too tired to delve into the same problems. Khan simply stood still, letting the pool submerge his bare feet while some positive aspects made their way into his mind.
The white alpha's attempts to survive had spread death faster than Khan could. Countless monsters had died during the leader's last breaths, and only a shadow of the mighty pack remained.
The Scalqa and turrets would have no problem finishing off the remaining specimens and clearing the battlefield. Some monsters were bound to escape, but the war was virtually over. The army would spend a few weeks extirpating Senerth's remaining life, but the process would be swift and harmless. Khan even had the vague intention of letting the military equipment handle that part.
That meant finally going home and returning to the reason why Khan fought so hard. The mission was over so he could reunite with Monica and the type of life her existence created. The nobles and Nognes Excellencies were also taken care of so Khan could rest, enjoying the stability he had enforced.
A total of two trips couldn't make the Scalqa used to those flying metal prisons, but their tribal structure provided much entertainment. The soldiers had countless war stories to share, and the abundant supplies kept them busy and appeased, almost making them forget that they were in space.
Garret and his scientists barely had any room to breathe. The quick departure left them with countless samples to process, study, and experiment with. The Leviathan didn't lack high- tier equipment, so Garret decided to keep working to have fewer tasks by the time he returned to Baoway.
Moses, Roger, and Prince Richard had spent most of those months fighting with the Scalqa army, so they often joined the aliens in their seemingly endless banquets. Prince Richard obviously had reservations about that loud, messy, and dirty environment. Still, Senerth seemed to have softened his noble arrogance, allowing him to enjoy those celebrations with his newfound companions.
Bruno was obviously with them, mainly to comply with his duties as the Nognes family's servant. Prince Richard had Nognes blood, so Bruno couldn't leave him alone among those muscular brutes.
Lieutenant Dyester also made occasional appearances among the army during his duties on the Leviathan's bridge. The gigantic ship could fly itself, but handling the crew was part of his duties, and he didn't shy away from them.
Basically, everyone managed to keep themselves busy. Everyone but Khan. The Leviathan's peaceful, happy environment didn't match the feral vibes Senerth had given him. His mood was also strange, switching from excited and eager to lonely and hesitant.
Things would have been easier for Khan if he could train, but the Leviathan's artificial symphony couldn't work with his [Blood Vortex]. Also, he had reached the point where he risked smashing the reinforced halls and the ship with them, so venting on target dummies was unwise and risky.
That left Khan with nothing to do. He could find some things but didn't. He mostly remained in his vast quarters, waiting for the Leviathan to reach his destination with only booze and the secret folder on his phone to keep him company.
