The hivemind is conquering for me?

After making it to the surface, I shuddered upon witnessing the devastation. Energy and momentum were no joke. As far as I could see, apart from bio-forms still pouring out of the ship in all directions en masse, it was just a desolate crater, rubble everywhere.

I did not linger on the sight for too long, as I ushered Three warriors to carry myself, Keyla and Orchid towards the battlefield, which I guessed was in every direction. Considering this system’s sun was at its zenith, I followed it and headed south.

It did not take five minutes before I heard the sound of gunfire becoming a prevalent thing. Another five minutes of my warrior going at full sprint, I saw it. A massive fortress line made of multiple fortresses stretching to each horizon.

I noticed my love had made it to the edge of the walls and had begun piling up her corpses as a ramp. As I dismounted my warrior, I manifested Zircon in my hand and gripped her tightly.

So much of her was dead already. Even if it was a speck. Seeing it made me seethe. ’These... Prey wish to harm my beloved? Not for long they won’t.’ As I began coordinating my battle plan, my guards covering my more than copious body in the sea of bio-forms, Keyla next to me began tweaking out.

With her hands clenched into fists against her chest, her entire body was spasming, as though she was trying to hold something back.

The blood. Oh the smell was divine! (GO! KILL! Devour! We must wait for Apollo to be ready! He might need us!) As her eyes returned from the back of her head, Keyla looked at Apollo and smiled lovingly. ”A-po-llo! I can’t ho-ld In~~~ GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

A blood curdling scream reverberated over the battlefield, over all the weapons, causing a sense of dread to all that heard it, even the lesser hive bio-forms were affected temporarily, but after reassurance from the upper-castes, got over it much quicker than the defenders.

After the blood mist revealed Keyla’s other form. It could not wait. It needed murder. IT craved these beings that were the enemy of her mate all over it! The Bloodfiend began charging, shoving droves of bio-forms that were too slow out of its way.

Naturally, The Bloodfiend, being as large as it was, began taking heavy fire. Bullets, lasers and explosives mincing though its flesh, but did it care? No. The pain was nothing, its regeneration healing its wounds as the hunks of metal were in the process of passing through it.

The absolute immense amount of Psionic energy on the planet currently, boosting its regenerative powers and strength more than usual. After reaching ten meters away from the wall, The Bloodfiend suddenly jumped into the air, reaching the top of the twenty meter wall.

It observed below its body for a moment as it allowed its victims to bask in its deadly presence. Some very heavy guns from the back of the fortress started to turn in its direction, but with an eerily smile, it would not allow them to begin shooting as it jumped down into the once fortress, now hunting ground, its prey having no way out. What a glorious bloodsport!

…

As I watched Keyla jump into the fortress, I decided to reposition to the next fortress over, since I had declared everything in the current one prematurely dead already. The next fortress over had mounted minigun emplacements littered all over the walls firing non stop as they were being belt fed from within the wall itself. The warriors of the hive were being mowed down in the thousands per second.

Not even sure if my specialty warriors could withstand all that firepower at once for an extended period of time, I decided to use my current trap card. Range. Having my warriors dome around me and begin to move forward, I stopped upon seeing we were coming up to the fire line.

As I stopped, I began expelling my Psionic vision out of my body as far as it could go. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I could view almost the entire fort except for the back wall. I felt like I could have seen further, but the area was so incredibly dense with Psionic energy that I became blinded after so far.

Taking to both knees, I began focusing on creating Psionic bullets. With Sol’s bondage, creating the bullets out of Pyrokinesis instead of neutral energy was actually much easier so I began to make them in mass.

With a single thought, very small gaps started to appear at the top of my warrior dome and my bullets began firing up into the air like fireworks. Only they did not explode at their apex. One by one, I began picking off gunners. Head after head being pierced by the bullet before the residual Pyrokinetic heat exploded from within, immolating the gunner’s heads.

After twenty rapid fire kills and more bullets continuously pouring out of me, the fort commander noticed the fire projectiles instantly and ordered fire towards the strange mass of bugs it was originating from. Thanks to my current hive link and my Psionic vision, I witnessed the positioning of the weapons and decided to turtle up just in time, closing all the holes as a deafening torrent began beaming down on my warriors.

It was like someone was beating a drum a thousand times a second as my warriors used their interconnected ability to mitigate the kinetic force. After a few seconds of unrelenting fire, the guns began to disperse from their target, as nothing as of yet had survived such munitions and they could not afford to focus on one location for too long.

A mistake on their part, as thanks to being able to see everything, I essentially pre fired the gunners that had turned to shoot at me, opening and closing the holes in an instant. With both the constant distraction from me and the ever increasing lack of gunners up on the walls with my turtling strategy, the agitators that were leering behind slightly began pushing forward, causing massive amounts of brain bursting now there was little that could harm them for now.

Like a snowball effect, the multiple prongs of meat shields, actual shields and Psionic prowess, we managed to overwhelm the fortress in quick time. The hive was not one to celebrate though. With the fort’s defenders quickly killed, the hive began pressing onto the next line of defense while also flanking the fortress’ next to the current one.

Speaking of, A large boom was heard to my right in the distance as a Bloodfiend had just thrown what appeared to be a tank of some sort through that fortification’s wall. It was then amidst the chaos and battle I just went through, I heard something mumbling next to me about kill count and not being fair and how she wanted the week reward.

Turning to Orchid, I said surprised. ”Love-bug, You are still here? I thought you would have ran off like Keyla did? Wait, did I seriously not pick you up with my vision... No that’s not important right now, we are in the middle of a battlefield after all. Go help Keyla cause mayhem. The two of you together will be unstoppable, I will continue the slog helping the sieges.”

Orchid gripped her swords tightly, she did wish to bite into some throats and watch her victims squirm for a while, but her Apollo needed protecting. Somehow flipping the card and reading her thoughts, I smiled and said.

”I will have an Agitator stay with me the entire time, how about that? I will be safe from Psionic attacks with one present and my warriors will protect me from everything else, won’t you?” I asked as I made them stomp their feet like a salute.

Orchid looked around before specifically looking over towards the now very distant Keyla. That large body of hers moved fast and could get a lot of kills quickly. Turning to me quickly, Orchid looked at me sternly and said.

”You better stay safe, I can see everything you are doing with the agitator nearby. YOU! DEFEND OUR MATE! She screamed towards an Agitator that was floating by, who was more than happy to take up the mantle.

”This one shall not fail in this endeavour designation Orchid.” The agitator relayed as it did its best to hunker down behind the wall of warriors. Orchid nodded her head at this before turning back to me.

She then moved with purpose, kissing the visor of my helmet passionately before saying. ”Jewel has told me to inform you that she can detect no Psionic beings on this part of the planet. They seem to be holding up towards the god-like entity. Still, be careful my love”

Orchid then sprinted away with a speed that shocked me. It was insane realising just how much she holds back when sparring with me. As I watched as her hair fluttered in the wind, I realised something and Shouted. ”Helmet! Put your helmet on! Cover the face!”

Although she could not hear me, my new Agitator relayed my request to her, which she obliged instantly. As when she wore her helmet, she could make it become a true part of her head, allowing her to use the Freethinker face upon it as an actual maw. This way, she would still be able to bite out her victims necks while obeying her mate’s request.
