Outskirts of the DEC Forest
The catastrophe that had struck the Middle East and left the Dimensional Energy Crystal forest in its wake was one of the worst crises in human history, and its effects would be felt for decades to come. But while for humanity it was a tragedy for Ruina it was both a blessing and an unprecedented opportunity.
Anger. Terror. Sorrow. Despair. The entirety of Middle East was drowning in negative emotions.
Which equaled negative energy, something the Ruina sorely needed.
This particular area had been a city, but a large portion of the former city had been taken over by the DE Crystals. Most of the city - what was intact of it at least - was dark, only a few lights lighting up streets and the vacant buildings.
It was in this ruin where three pillars of smoke formed above the streets, and soon three Angeli were where the pillars had been: Two wasplike and one Angelus S. The Angeli immediately started to buzz around, vacuuming negative energy out of the air, but not entering the DEC forest for even a passing moment. Huvud had given very clear orders to the Miles captain.
They were not to enter the DEC forest.
Back in DARC, Huvud was focused on a screen that was showing a constant stream of what the Miles captain was seeing and hearing. Most of his attention was on the Dimensional Energy crystals, and the forest they formed.
There was something there, he was certain of it.
