It wasn't that Zairha was useless. The enemy they faced simply exceeded the limits of ordinary people's imagination.
Against a "monster" like the Sky Peng Horizontal, all of Zairha's past experience and understanding had become useless.
So Zairha's loss of composure was entirely understandable.
In fact, look at the many crew members aboard the Zagramalish, some staring blankly, some hysterical, and others wailing. The fact that Zairha, their Captain, had managed to keep his wits about him and avoid breaking down was proof enough of his exceptional qualities, far beyond those of ordinary people.
"Scuttle the ships! Notify all three Death Starships to initiate scuttling procedures. We won't leave the enemy any spoils worth taking! Then activate the 'Black Box' and inform headquarters that the Purple River Guardian must be hiding a secret—and a very important one! We must capture the Purple River Guardian at all costs and uncover its secret! That will be the key to the Mechanical God Cult's resurgence!"
Geshut was also on the verge of breaking down.
The desperate situation they now faced left Geshut feeling hopeless and dejected as well.
He had never imagined that he would die in some remote star region like the Wuche River System on what seemed like a straightforward field assignment.
In Geshut's mind, he was supposed to uncover the ultimate secret of "Mechanical Ascension," become the savior of the Mechanical God Cult, and leave a lasting mark on history!
But those negative emotions couldn't control Geshut's mind.
His Level Five peak mechanical modification put him just one step away from "consciousness uploading," an elementary achievement of Mechanical Ascension!
Even with negative emotions weighing on him, Geshut could still think clearly.
That was why he easily understood the meaning behind Zairha's words: what else could they do in this situation?
