Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Chapter 174 The Originals

"If this is what you need, then I give you permission to use my old body as you choose. You had better not do anything that is perverted!" Calishora had told me before I took over her body.

Now my eyes were opening, and I was filled with new senses and feelings of things either missing. Some were also bigger and softer than what I was used to.

To be clearly honest, I did want to do perverted things to myself, but I had told Calishora I wouldn't. Still, I made sure to give my tits a good squeeze before getting out of bed. It was much better than squeezing someone else's!

I got out of my fancy bed and looked around the room, but the place was bare and metallic.

"This place isn't very homey," I said, in Calishora's voice, surprising myself. This was my first time trying to take over an actual person's body.

I had done this with the bulky Kratos clone, but this was different. I was a Space Dragon now, and I had a job to do.

"Let's see what this body can do!" I laughed, and I summoned my menu.

I started to look through it, but there were parts of the System that were sealed off. Well, they were sealed off to Calishora.

Even though I was not in my body, I still controlled the heart of all these Systems. There was no such thing as off-limits to me.

[Systems Menu]

[1. Astral abilities]

[2. Transformation]

[3. Consume]

[4. Dream Walking]

[5. Restricted]

I selected the last option, and I was talking to a screen that showed me a separate function of the Cosmic Dreamer System.

[Final Rampage: Attack with everything you have in a blind rage. While doing this, your body will collect energy. When you reach critical health, your body will explode inwards for three seconds and then affect everything within 1 lightyear. Damage is dependent on the distance from the epicenter.]

So, this was what she had planned for us. This Tiamat was a real piece of work, but in hindsight, it was a good way to make sure that she got what she wanted. I just found it hard to believe that she would use her child for this.

Child.

I kept calling Calishora that, but the truth of it was that the Dragon was just a part of Tiamat. In the Astral Goddess's mind, she was only killing a small part of herself that would be returned in time.

I needed to remember this going forward. There would be no limit to what kind of dastardly plans these two Astral Gods would try. Neither of them needed my people or me alive to get what they wanted, and this was proof they were willing to kill us all without a care.

That just made what I was about to do that much easier.

I had been a bit apprehensive before about this plan, but after seeing this option in Calishora's System, there was none. I was only striking before they could.

"System, activate Final Rampage!" I called out, and then I forced myself out of Calishora's body.

I had to leave the body, or I would have been caught up in the System's forced berserk mode. No part of me wanted to have my entire body blown to bits. There was no way that the ship would be able to survive the attack.

As I left the body, strings of memories flew by me, but none of them were my own. They were all of Calishora and the hundreds of thousands of fights she had been in.

I was subjected to all of her memories at once, and I was able to see the slow degressions of Calishora. She had been so bright and happy before, but seven million years of chasing the heart across the galaxy and being at the end of Tiamat's constant rage had slowly stripped her down.

I watched as Calishora's proud face slowly became more and more tired as the years flew by. The last million years seemed to be the worst.

This was the point that Calishora had caught up with Omega, but that was also the same time that Beta and the Gideons did. The two had been at war, but neither could ever gain the upper hand.

There was a problem with everything that I saw, though. Each time that they fought, Tiamat focused on Calishora killing Beta.

That didn't make sense. From what I understood so far, the heart was the most important thing. If that was the case, then why not focus on it?

What I saw was that they were more concerned about having the upper hand in the fight. Each time, Omega would escape with the Annokale while the other two were still fighting.

Even if Calishora made it there first and could be attacking the Spirits, Tiamat forced her to prepare to intercept Beta. If I had a head right now, I would be scratching it.

Then there were the six million years that they spent fighting in space before ever even catching up to Omega. I just couldn't understand what was going on here.

It would have made sense if it was only the Gideons attacking the Drakar, but that was not what happened. Both races constantly attacked each other and then would put both ships out of commission for sometimes up to fifty years.

The entire thing just looked like one big mess. I had a hard time believing that These two Astral Gods were the driving force behind this. Yet, I could clearly see Tiamat ordering Calishora to make the attacks but never giving a reason for it.

I was going to have to make sure that I talked to Calishora and Omega about it right away. There was something important to be learned about this, but I need more information.

The rest of the memories flew by, and I watched the same thing repeat itself.

Then I opened my eyes, and I was back in my body, still feeling the hands on my back.

"I am back, and things are good," I said as I stood up, the hands falling off me.

I turned around, and both of them looked shocked.

"Really? That was barely a breath since you said you were going in!" Sofia exclaimed, and I smiled.

"Most of that time would have been spent closing and opening my eyes. Tiamat was waiting for me, but I gave her a taste of her own medicine," I explained.

"How did things go with this child of hers?" Binder asked as he slid back into the water.

"Good, I took her from her body, and now I have her story in my Memory, Crystal. I am hoping that we find some Darkar alive at Area Fifty-One so I can edit one of them. I learned a great deal more about the Drakar race, but also some things that make no sense. The sooner we can get Calishora in a body and talk, the better," I explained.

"How did things with her go in there? You were gone for such a short time, but time must move differently, right?" Sofia asked, and I nodded.

"I took her fishing, got her drunk, and then she fell out of the boat. It was a great time!" I laughed, and Sofia gave me a look.

"Is that all you did?"

"Yes, Hermosa. I have more than enough with all of you," I laughed, but Sofia gave me a more serious look.

"This is something that needs to be put to the Wife Council. When we return from our trip, I will be calling all the women together to talk about this," Sofia said, putting her chin into the crook of her hand between her thumb and index.

"Huh? Why? What do you all need to talk about?" I asked. "I mean, I had something that I needed to bring up about Chelsea. Let me know when you all want to meet."

"Hmmm? Who invited you? What part of the Wife Council didn't you hear? This is when we all get together and talk about our issues," Sofia said, narrowing her eyes at me.

"What? You don't want me to be there?" I asked. This was news to me.

"We have not needed you there any other time, so we will be fine."

"Wait just a minute here! Just how many times have you all met? Why is this the first time I am hearing about this?" I asked in confusion.

"How do you think we all can handle sharing you? Not all of us are like your Queen or the other two Originals," Sofia explained, and I made a surprised face.

"Do you actually call Anya and Katie the Originals? And Melody Queen?"

"They are the ones that had you first, and they are sharing with all of us. It is the least we can do, even if Melody grates on me sometimes. We all need this time to be able to talk about our personal problems that we don't want to bother you with. You should be thankful that we do this, or your life would be a lot more hectic," Sofia explained, and I nodded.

"I never really thought about it like that. I guess that I have been so busy with everything else," I said with a sigh as I looked out over the forest's tree tops.

"That is why we talk. Some of us aren't as patient as others, and this helps us direct you to the ones that need you more than others. Like Melody said, you really don't have much choice at this point. Still, we all know what you are trying to do, so we are trying to help make things as painless as possible for you," Sofia said, getting up and coming to give me a kiss as I heard Jack coming up the stairs.
