Many Dominators were fleeing in their spaceships as they were driven off course towards the planet that they had planned to dominate. The Artisan flew through the air in his suit while also controlling his spaceship remotely as he rained hell on the aliens.
He had left the planet Tamaran 23 earth hours ago and that was when he managed to pick up on the aliens that were making their way to the planet as he managed to realise that they are the Dominators and that they are a species of aliens that seeks to dominate other races and is more or less like the Citadelians.
And he knew that letting them to their own devices isn't a good decision if he didn't want them to play God with the planet that they are going to. So he immediately analysed them and then went towards the planet that they were going for.
And when they Dominators had reached the outskirts of the planet, he launched an offensive on them and while the Dominators have good technology, his own knowledge and the equipment that he has on his hands helped him to drive them back as he destroyed many of their weapons and also damaged their ships.
There were a total of 10 spaceships that were coming towards the planet and he literally lit the sky with flames due to destroying three spaceships which was like pandemonium to him as he wondered what the species on the planet is doing while he is doing that.
But he didn't dwell on it as he shot concentrated energy beams from his hands which hit and damaged the rest of the ships while his own spaceship did a barrage on them as they were peppered by attacks as he calculated what he would be doing as he watched them retreat from the space as he smiled to himself as he kept up his guard.
He noticed some attempts at attacking him as he immediately dealt with them quite quickly as he made sure that they wouldn't get the chance to do anything to him and the planet behind him.
'It hasn't even been a full day since I left Tamaran.' Artisan thought to himself as he watched the aliens fly away as he narrowed his eyes.
He used his ability to view different timelines simultaneously to see if they would try to attack him and also made sure to look up how they would retaliate if the ones here would do so. Thankfully the Dominators didn't do anything like that and seemed to just cut their loses and flew away.
Artisan watched from his place as his spaceship hovered beside him as he watched them go as he stayed there as he kept his eyes on the Dominators as they fled the scene. After he was sure that the threat to the planet is gone, he turned to the planet and looked at it curiously as he can see that it has good technology.
Not enough to fight and repel the Dominators, but it's quite good, but he knew that he has to make sure that they are fine as he entered his spaceship and flew into the atmosphere of the planet as he saw some ships in the sky.
But they didn't attack him as they seemed to be making a path for him as he flew his ship down onto the platform as he exited in full armor as his face was covered in faceplate as he saw a lot of soldiers and an armored woman in front of him as she regarded him with narrowed eyes as he noticed how the guards were watching him.
"Hmm, a bit too cold of a reception for someone who had repelled your invaders, don't you agree?" The Artisan said as he looked at them all.
"We have to be cautious. And even if you had repelled those invaders, what makes you think that we wouldn't have been able to take care of them?" The woman said as she glared at him.
Artisan hummed to himself as he also noticed the offended looks on the soldiers. And he can understand since it would be an insult to their military might.
"That ship belonged to the Dominators. Do you believe yourself to be capable of taking on such a species?" Artisan asked her as her eyes widened at that.
"The Dominators, why would that race come to our planet?" The woman said in surprise at his words.
"The question I want to ask is why they had only decided to take over your world now. I see that you are people that the Dominators would become interested in considering your capabilities." Artisan said as he looked at her.
"Our goddess has been protecting our world for centuries. She had gone outside the world and they might've thought it to be the time to attack." The woman said as she looked at him.
"I see. And who are you? I believe that you are the ruler of this planet considering the fact that you are the one conversing with me." Artisan said as he looked at her.
"I am Hyathis, the high plana of the planet of Alstair." Hyathis said to him as she looked at him.
"High plana? Is that the word used for your rulers?" Artisan asked her curiously.
"Indeed. But I do wish to know the name of the man who had repelled the Dominators." Hyathis said to him as he hummed to himself.
"I am called the Artisan. I am a traveller who roams this vast universe and learn more about it. Though I believe that you have some things to ask of me." Artisan said as he looked at her.
"You have sharp eyes. I wish to know the technology you have used on your ship, as we do not have such advanced technology. With its help we will be more equipped to fight against invaders." Hyathis said to him pretty straightforwardly.
"I am quite happy that you are so forthcoming with your desire. But I will have to disappoint you, for I am not going to share my knowledge with you. I am aware of the fact that you are in a war with the other worlds in the Antares system and if I were to help you then you will be able to gain an advantage over them." Artisan said as he looked at her.
"We are at war with the other three worlds and we need to increase our power lest they overpower us and defeat us. For that we need your technological knowledge. If you do that then you will have the favour of our planet." Hyathis said to him in a strong voice.
"That might be so. But I am not going to interfere in the matter of your war. I had only given my help because the Dominators are not a species that can be left to their own devices and I didn't want them to gain control over this world. But I will not be assisting you in increasing your power and technology. You will have to do so naturally with your own people as I believe that you are a steady pace to do so." Artisan said to her as he smiled under his armor.
"Then it would seem that I will have to force you. We cannot let such an opportunity to further our strength go, you realise this don't you?" Hyathis said as he drew her sword.
The ships in the air aimed at him and so did the guards as he also saw roots forming around him as the Artisan smirked and then snapped his left hand's fingers, sending a wave of energy which short circuited the weapons of the guards and also affected the spaceships as they lost altitude and started to hover down.
Hyathis and her brethren were surprised at that as the became more nervous as laser lights fell on them from the Artisan's armor and his spaceship as they became more nervous as he also shot down the roots that had formed.
"You might've believed that you would've been able to handle me with numbers. But I must disappoint you, as at this moment, quality outweighs quantity in this situation. If you do not stand down, I will invalidate your technology which will grant your enemies the opportunity to attack and seize your planet." The Artisan said with a smile as if he was talking about the weather.
That shook the people as many took a step back and he also saw the hesitation and fear in the demeanor of Hyathis as she became hesitant at his threat. Not that she was aware of the fact that he would've only done something like that as a last resort, he wasn't going to purposefully weaken them during a time of war.
"So, what will it be, High Plana of Alstair. Will you show me hospitality or do you wish me to be your enemy?" Artisan asked her with a smile on his face.
