Martin was completely correct.
Athena proposed terms to the Sky Alliance that were essentially all material-based, as that was precisely the area where the Alliance outperformed the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute.
Meanwhile, the technology she demanded from the Magic Energy Research Institute leveraged their strongest assets.
But when it came to the Kafka Empire, what terms should she propose?
In terms of technology, the Kafka Empire undoubtedly possessed advancements, though not to the level of the Magic Energy Research Institute. As for foundation, the Empire's background certainly wasn't inferior to the Sky Alliance, but Athena already had her sights set on the Alliance's resources, making it unnecessary to target the Empire's.
After careful consideration, Athena decided that some form of cooperation with the Empire would be most advantageous for Rocky.
