The fight between the Divine Arsonist and the Ekstrom Goliath kicked off without exchanging any banter first.
This was not too unusual during the Red War, but it was also not unheard of for particularly martial phase gods to taunt and engage human ace pilots as worthy adversaries.
Even if they did not exchange any words, their strikes and their defensive maneuvers already conveyed their mutual respect towards each other.
Yet when the Ekstrom Goliath launched its opening strike by letting loose an enormous barrage of organic missiles, it did so with the sole determination of executing its orders.
The alien creature possessed an ugly face that was characterized by a disproportionately large mouth.
It was not designed to smile or convey any particular emotions. Its pitch-black eyes gazed at the Ascended Giant as if the latter was no different the high-ranking mechs that the Goliath Hive had previously fought against.
