if she really that powerful and love her people so much, she can easy overwrite any order from lizzard man and even take control of his body consider how much he modified his with all of these machine part, or atleast explain how an outsider like him can get such power in technology advance civilization

nothing being explain, everything just happen like some goddamn disney movie
This point always bothered me about the narrative because, as far as I read, I have NO IDEA how he came into power. Even with time dilation in effect it still doesn't make sense. How does he help Sphene? What purpose does he actually have that allows him to benefit her in any capacity? Why the hell would she give control over her army to him? Sure, it was her idea to slaughter the people of the Source for their aether but Sphene and Zoraal Ja's motivations are not aligned. It's head scratching at best and downright infuriating at worst.

Not only that but the scene where Otis protects her because she's been damaged by lightning? She could have just...swapped robot bodies like she's done before. Not only that but the more you think about it, if she gave complete military control over all bodies then how was she even able to maintain control of the soldier unit in the first place?

This story has so many plot holes it makes the Marianas Trench look like a kiddie pool.
