“The Highbreed will still come,” Vilgax rasped, his voice small.
He was the one who had finally learned to think like a villain.
“You see,” Ben coughed, “the Ultimate function simulates a million years of combat. You don’t just get the weapons. You get the entropy . You’re evolving into dust, Vilgax.”
