The Destroyer of Worlds.
Anyone who went by this title was bound to hold a special identity!
If anyone dared to go by such a grand and domineering moniker, then he or she better have the strength and reputation to avoid ridicule!
No one dared to make fun of a god pilot in human society.
It was only fitting for such a powerful god in human form to assume the title of Destroyer of Worlds!
Though Ves did not have a clear idea of what god pilots were capable of, the rumors and sources that he had come in touch with were all over the place.
The more extreme ones claimed that god pilots held so much power that it was not out of the realm of possibility for them to be able to break entire planets!
Ves personally believed that these claims were exaggerations. Perhaps it may be possible for most god mechs to wipe out entire cities or land regions at once, he could scarcely imagine how much energy it took to negatively affect a whole planet.
However, it was not that difficult to imagine that certain mechs and mech types could unleash more firepower than others.
Of all of the god mechs that were known to exist during his presence of time, pretty much no one doubted which one possessed the record of possessing the greatest capacity for destruction!
"The Ragnarok."
Few details about the Ragnarok were known to the public. From what Ves recalled of the biography that he had read when he was just a student, The Destroyer of Worlds only acquired this firepower-heavy machine late in her career.
It may very well be the exceptional ace mech that helped Irene Mox complete the Mech Body Merger Process!
The Ragnarok was the main reason why Divine Irene Mox managed to become known as the Destroyer of Worlds.
As one of the top guardians of human civilization, she was regularly assigned to guard the most contentious borders between human space and the surviving alien empires of the Milky Way Galaxy.
When an alien race tried to test humanity's defenses and commit raids across the border, humanity issued an immediate response.
Divine Irene Mox intruded into alien space and visited seven strategic star systems in succession!
Each time her Ragnarok deployed into action, its incredible formidable artillery cannons unleashed incredibly destructive rounds that cracked entire landmasses and progressively destabilized the tectonic activity of an entire globe!
Seven planets turned from densely populated strongholds into ruinous volcanic planets where nothing on its surface was left intact!
Ever since she inflicted so much retribution that the neighboring aliens completely cowered from the might displayed by one of humanity's strongest champions, Irene Mox became known as the Destroyer of Worlds from that day onwards.
In fact, it happened to be an evolution of her previous title.
Her previous moniker was Destroyer of Cities, but it sounded a little too inadequate ever since she exposed her capacity to scour every life on a planet!
No god pilot was a normal individual. Their strength and capacity for killing was unmatched by anything. This included the CFA's largest battleships!
There was no way that Ves could remain calm at the possibility that he had become so 'lucky' that he actually landed in the mind of a future god pilot!
Nothing good would come if he was ever discovered by such a powerful warrior. Even if it looked as if he had gone far enough back in time that Irine Mox was 'only' an expert pilot at this point, Ves did not want to take any chances!
"My first priority is to keep my presence hidden. There is no telling what might happen if Irene discovers that she is hosting a spiritual parasite in her mind!"
So far, it did not seem as if the expert pilot had a clue what had happened. She attended a mission briefing while remaining quiet and thoughtful. Her attention was completely focused on the current predicament of the mech army that she was attached to. Her unit apparently landed on a hostile planet and encountered heavy resistance from the local garrison.
Seeing that Irene Mox was more preoccupied with thinking on how she could best leverage her firepower to support advancing friendly troops, Ves slightly relaxed and assumed that he had yet to disturb the powerful expert pilot.
His next priority was to figure out if he had visited the mind of THE Irene Mox.
Ves mentally frowned. "Irene is a common name for females. Mox is not as common, but since it only consists of three letters, there should still be a lot of people who go by this name."
The best way to confirm this dreadful suspicion was to see whether the details he recalled from the Destroyer of Worlds' biography matched the current circumstances.
He needed to jog his memories as it had been around 2 decades since he last read the biographies of every god pilot and Star Designer known to exist.
That easily amounted to 200 books in total!
There was no way that Ves could read so many biographies in his youth with an earnest learning attitude.
It was fairly common for people to buy the most popular versions of the life stories of these legendary figures.
Since these books were targeted towards the general public, they happened to be light on the details and heavy on the action. The biographies also tended to be fairly short and were known to skip a lot of sensitive and inconvenient information.
In any case, there was no need for typical space peasants to know so many messy secrets. They just had to gain a rough idea on every human hero!
"I should really go out of my way and read the complete versions of those biographies." He mentally grumbled to himself.
Of all of the god pilots he became familiar with due to his interest in mech design, he barely paid any attention to Divine Irene Mox. She didn't excite him as much as other god pilots.
"Let me see… Divine Irene Mox is over 230 years old in my present time. This expert pilot looks to be around 30 years old, so the current date should be 2 centuries in the past."
The location could also provide an obvious clue.
The legendary Irene Mox happened to be a rare god pilot who used to be a second-class mech pilot. She eventually received an invitation to join the New Rubarth Empire after she advanced to ace pilot, but that happened a lot later in her life.
"If I recall correctly, Divine Irene Mox should be fighting in the so-called Terrace War." Ves recalled. "The main sides are the Bontue Republic and the Quillim Principality." freewēbnoveℓ.com
