The Dark Apostle and Ketis grew more comfortable with each other as they continued to talk with each other by remote.
The Ascended Giant was no longer as impulsive and obsessed in his own superiority as before.
Unlike many of his underlings, he understood much better how scary red humanity remained.
Sure, the puny humans were not doing so well at the moment, but that may be a temporary setback due to their lack of preparation at the start of the Red War.
In any case, the Dark Apostle heavily depended on superdimensional matter to maintain his leadership of the Phase Lord Department.
The better his gear, the more dramatic his victories and the greater his deterrence. Not only would he be able to stave off leadership challenges, but he would also earn enough prestige to convince red humanity to recognize the right for the Ascended Giants to become an independent race.
Nothing could be done while the Dark Apostle lacked the strength to pursue his ambitions.
