Before the war had even reached the Necrotech World, before the armies had landed and the fleets had clashed, Little Red had been preparing.
Quietly. Meticulously. Over the course of weeks, she had used her royal access and her deep knowledge of Kaelzar tech to scatter thousands of tiny devices across multiple solar systems, those devices were small, nearly invisible machines made of living metal, each one installed directly on the surface of distant suns.
These devices, powered by warp tech, could siphon raw solar flares, redirecting the energy across space in real time.
So all this time, while Zanar had been draining his own reserves to fuel every blast, every beam, and every strike, Little Red had barely used any of her own power at all.
She had simply been acting as a conduit, channeling the fury of distant stars through her body.
