"...A dream that cannot be realized." Blokan spoke steadily before pointing toward Robin. "I don't mean any disrespect, because I'm far too weak for that, but if an Executioner appeared right now, it WILL kill you... and then the entire universe."
His tone was calm, yet there was not the slightest trace of doubt within it.
This was not pessimism.
Nor was it criticism.
Simply a statement of reality as he saw it.
"I understand your point." Robin nodded. "There is certainly a risk, but Executioners aren't so numerous that one appears every day." Then he pointed at Blokan twice. "Do you remember the events of the First Wave? Athena breaking off a piece of the Shell the size of a galaxy?"
Blokan nodded.
The incident had long since become one of the most famous events in the history of B-14.
No one who knew of it could easily forget it.
