Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Chapter 203 Those That Resist

"Yeah, I bet that is what you want!" The voice shouted back.

"Don't waste your time; nothing is going to be able to break through that door!" Another voice said, and I sighed.

I had tried the peaceful route, honest effort. Now was for the other route, the less friendly one.

"Fine, but don't say that I didn't warn you all," I said as I walked up to the door, placing my hand on it. The thing was almost a foot thick and probably took two people to move, but that meant nothing to me.

My body melted into the door and flowed through the cracks to the other side, staying a liquid.

"He disappeared!" The man that had been yelling at me called out as I spread out all over the room.

I was hoping that I could change some people's minds, but I was already sensing that was not going to be possible. The men in this room had stalwart minds that seemed to be brainwashed. These must be the elite soldiers that they trained to follow all orders without fail.

"What is this stuff?! Watch out! There is silver spreading every wear!" One of the men yelled, but it was too late.

Silver roots burst from all over the room, grabbing the people one at a time as the gunfire started to go off. I dragged each of them into the thick metal walls and then left them. Once they were all gone, there was one fat General left shaking behind the turret.

I had been scanning the cannon, and it appeared to fire a barrier of some sort that could be released remotely. That remote was on this general, and I wanted to get it off him before I stuck in with the rest.

"Show yourself!" The General screamed, and I emerged from the floor directly beside him, and the man froze.

"I would have let you all live and have great lives, but in the end, you just couldn't let go of the scrap of control you gained. What was the price? Everyone lives that you used to get here, right? I can feel that you are the type to push another into oncoming danger to save yourself, right?" I asked, and the General gritted his teeth.

"You will learn one day, you son of a bitch. Sometimes, a man has to stand up for what he believes in," The General growled, and I rolled my eyes.

"Even when you know that you are about to die, you still hold that you made the right choice? Isn't there a scrap of you that thinks you could have handled this differently?" I asked.

"That's the difference between you and me, freak. I am a man of my word, and I stick to my guns. Can you say the same?" The General snapped, and I sighed.

"Some people will resist change, some will fight it, but change is inevitable. Your problem is that you have built a castle, and now it is the only thing you can see," I said, and then the man was ripped down to the ground to join the rest of his team, pulling the switch from his pocket as I did.

Then I walked over to a chair and sat down.

This was not what I wanted to do, but the task was done now, and there was nothing more to be done about it. I had hoped that I could have saved some of them, but once I had touched them all, I knew that wasn't possible. The things that humans did to each other made me sick, but I couldn't save everyone.

I scanned around and found the door to the next level and got out of my chair. Once I got over to the door, it seemed that there was no way to open it without power. This door was much thicker than the other door, but thickness meant nothing to a person that could melt any metal.

I placed my hand and slowly turned the door to liquid metal, making a few papers and books nearby catch fire. After putting them out, I moved the melted metal from the floor and shaped it into a cube to cool in a place where nothing would spontaneously catch fire.

Scans of the floor below were hard, but that was because everything was covered with sheets, so I headed down the stairs. What really surprised me was that when I got to the bottom floor, where there was another door, there was light.

I scanned the bright white light, and it turned out to be a crystal that had pure energy stored in it. They were made by an unknown race, according to my System, and there wasn't much info on them.

I had briefly gotten excited. I thought that something down here might have been blocking the Annokale above the earth that was blocking electricity. Turns out that it was just alien tech, but they did make for pretty lights.

I placed my hand on the door and melted it, forcing the metal to just crawl up and around the frame of the door to get out of my way. This made the entrance hot, but it would be cooled down enough by the time Sofia got down here.

The place was filled with more lights, but everything was covered in sheets. The place gave me the feeling of finding a secret Nazi bunker, and I guess that this was the equivalent. Considering that we were in one of the most talked about places in history, it should have some goodies. If this place wasn't filled with untold treasures, I was going to be pissed.

"First things first, I need to get all these damn sheets off," I said and started to walk down the line, collecting sheets as I went.

When I was done, I let out a long sigh, but this wasn't my normal sigh. This was the sign of a teenager that just said the most beautiful thing in the world. There was only one thing in the whole place that I knew what it was, and that meant we hit the jackpot!
