"A troublesome one has appeared."
The moment the Dragon of Death heard those words from their allies, their brows scrunched up.
Nothing was going as smoothly as planned.
To begin with, the Pinecone Galaxy's response to the crisis had been too fast.
They had expected the chain of command to have some issues functioning in Lapis' absence, but although they couldn't sense Lapis' presence, orders were still smoothly flowing from the top.
That, they could attribute to the competence of Lapis' subordinates, but that didn't explain how much faster than anticipated Pinecone's mobilisation against the attacking space beasts and monsters was.
Granted, hundreds of planets had already been annihilated, and this wasn't even counting the initial devastation caused by the ASB's first roar, which Jamie had only partially blocked.
But even so, the current level of destruction was far less than projected.
