The hivemind is conquering for me?

Aeletha felt omnipresent. The Power her Galaxy had granted her, coursing through her being was a feeling like no other. In her domain, a third of the planet, she knew every movement, every word spoken, every shriek of the enemy as it died by her power or the weaponry of her subjects.

Still, there were reports of mass casualties on the other side of the planet. Strange, undocumented forms, powerful and capable of taking on as much damage as they were receiving.

If it were possible, Aeletha would leave her domain to squish the pathetic forms beneath her might, but her newest vision remained true. If she left her domain, she would die. Looking up into the sky, the largest ship of the hunger, She felt a presence. One that rivalled her current form. She knew it and that fact made what was once her stomach knot up.

Still, the being had not made its move, seemingly focusing almost all of its attention now towards the other side of the planet. A snowball effect taking place as her subjects began facing more and more of the enemy.

Still, the Coalition defenders were valiant for the most part. One trooper would kill hundreds before the enemy took them and considering the vast majority of her forces on the planet were Thurx, those numbers were incredible

Of course, the hunger devoured their prey and their own dead to create more of themselves to rejuvenate their numbers. The fact that the newer forces would also sometimes come with a slightly different body composition or a sturdier armour would encompass their disgusting forms meant they were also adapting at a rapid pace.

Aeletha would still destroy them all the same once they reached her domain. Anything living that was not of this galaxy would be known to her, and would be purged by her indomitable power.

...

A predatory smile grew on Jewel’s face. Her prey was aware of her. She knew it. Jewel knew that even though she could not harness 100% of her full might in this form, her prey was aware that it was no match for her outside of that expanse of power.

Apart from abusing her link to check on her mate every thirty seconds to make sure he was as safe as you could get during a hunt, Jewel had been studying the Psionic energy of the god below.

She had never seen anything like it Considering how much she knew about psionic energy, The fact she had very little idea at how the energy below worked, left her salivating as she marinated her meal with her non existent eyeballs.

The Psionic energy below, the small amount of samples she had managed to acquire ,as she had been sacrificing pieces of herself for the last day, seemed to be made mostly out of cosmic Psionic energy. Not something she usually see’s in living beings.

Cosmic Psionic energy is something like the form Apollo’s new toy, Sol used to be made of before taking a form. It is also what created things like Psionic planets as they formed together after getting too dense in a localised region.

Jewel, in her regal brilliance, was completely stumped on how to manipulate such energy. She had zero clue as usually by the time Cosmic energy reaches a state of a Psionic planet, they begin to take on other Psionic elements, the previous Cosmic energy no longer present there.

It was also one of the reasons she was not just going down onto the planet herself. This body of hers was a ’throwaway’ after all. If this body was to somehow perish, she would instantly awaken in her other form.

Jewel wanted to observe for as long as possible, learn everything she could about how it was being manipulated by a god that she knew, thanks to her knowledge, did not exist until the start of this hunt.

The very main thing Jewel was trying to figure out though was where the god was channeling the energy from. It seemed endless and the planet was only getting more potent with Psionic energy. It was as though it was being pulled from literally everywhere...

...

”Grahahahaha!” A low guttural laugh came from the Bloodfiends mouth as it lifted up a Starforged male into the air. The male was still fighting, stabbing and biting with everything it could as the large creature brought it above its head.

Suddenly the male was ripped in half by the powerful creature, his blood and entrails dropping directly into the beings awaiting open maw. Keyla moaned in ecstasy and dropped the body in her hands as she felt the blood running down her neck, though to everything else, it was a terrible roar.

The Bloodfiend had repeated this process countless times in the never-ending battle. It had been making a display of consuming what it knew to be leadership slowly, causing terror amongst the lesser foes, the fear it made them emanate, brought the Bloodfiend nothing but delight.

Nearby, Orchid had just bisected a prey, before reaching her hand into its torso, pulling out a rib and throwing it at a being running towards her as she petrified the being with her eye mutation. Taking a moment to survey her surroundings, Orchid placed her swords into a reverse grip and held them up close to her Thorax-chest.

She had been having Phantom symptoms of her old body as her combat state took over her being. She had found herself disorientated a few times in the heat of all the killing due to her lack of height and her missing back legs.

Training with her Apollo and actual hunting were two different things. Tapping into her old instincts were having unexpected side effects she would have to rectify later. Still, with her new body, that was more durable and quicker than her old Freethinker form, and she had already slain beyond thousands of prey single handedly.

She was not sure as of yet, due to Keyla’s link being just screams of wanting more murder, but she believed she had racked up more kills than her rival as the big brute slowed down from time to time to inflict torture.

After returning to a peak mental state, Orchid returned to a better defensive stance and decided this fortress she was standing in could be finished off by the other bio forms. Orchid was about to sprint towards the next fortification when all of a sudden, the Agitator that was watching Apollo suddenly had its link severed.

Orchid scrambled to a simple warrior nearby to see what had happened, but where Apollo was just moments ago, a large crater billowing with smoke was present.

Rage!

A thousand miles around the circumference of Apollo, a rage inflicted the bioforms present. Being able to tap into the stored energies of their body with more efficiency, a bloodbath began taking place.

Orchid beelined immediately. She needed to know her Apollo was safe. She would destroy whatever attacked him. She would torture them for thousands of years! No one hurts her beloved! NO ONE!

…

”Ugh... Did something just smite me?” I groaned as I felt the effects of the electrocution still twitching my muscles. Sitting upright in the crater around me, I mourned slightly for the agitator and my warriors had perished from the sudden attack.

My warriors had been set up in a curved wall. They were malleable this way and could easily dome up in a moment’s notice to protect us from a threat. Only, whatever attack attacked us had been quicker than a moment.

It seemed my spear attack, piercing a large hole through the enemies defences, had finally caught wind of someone with Psionic capabilities, or so I am guessing. After recovering, I noticed my armour had taken a serious beating and worst of all, my minigun had been wrecked.

”Aw man. Rest in pieces buddy, you were a good gun.” I said as I pulled it off my arm, allowing it to rest with my other fallen.

Still, I could not dilly dally for long. If the thing that attacked me realised I was still alive, I needed to be at top form again. Looking over towards the Agitator, I smiled as I crawled over to its deceased form.

Stroking its head I smiled as I whispered. ”Here. Let my armour devour you. Become my strength and we shall have our vengeance. I brought the Agitators tentacle to my Power Armours chest and the energy began to immediately consume the Agitators flesh.

My suit was a lot stronger after it had taken on the properties of the Phobos I had scrapped on Alexandria and I had to wait and consume the entire Agitator before I was fully battle-ready once more.

I dreaded the fact that it took my suit two minutes to devour the entire being. That was two minutes my enemy had to recover from its powerful attack. But I did not care. Standing up, I walked over to one of my fallen warriors and began pulling extremely hard, tearing its head from its neck.

With a shield now in my left hand, I extended my right arm and in my hand materialised A sword with a beautiful blue Psionic energy running down her fuller. Zircon was tingling in my hand, causing me to smile with steely determination as I said to her.

”Come my partner, we have revenge to enact.”
