Chapter 421 Execution
Chapter 421 Execution
An army of tens of millions of Radiation Space Bugs moved through Space.
At the very front as they moved floated the Alpha Space Bug. Covering such an enormous space that it seemed like a mini planet floating through space, its body had its own gravitational pull, it was a real cosmic horror.
It's gigantic metal tail flicked left and right as it floated through space.
CHIRP! CHIRP! CHIRP!
The horde of Space Bugs spread menace everywhere that they went, devouring asteroids and other space junks floating in space as they moved.
The most exciting fact to these Space Bugs was the fact that most of these space junks contained residual radiation from the Radioactive pulse centuries ago. As they moved, they were able to devour more radiation.
This not only made them stronger; it also made them increase their numbers as some Space Bugs reproduced on this war journey.
Leading at the front of the horde, the gigantic Bug eyes of the Alpha gleamed as it's biological ultra long range senses finally detected familiar signs.
"PLANETS!" His voice boomed with excitement.
The next moment, after activating a special ability, 2 special apparitions looking like itself separated from its body.
One of them went to Planet Deart, while the other to Planet Darvis.
…
Headquarters of the Nightmare Army…
3 females stood outside the door leading to the office of one of the most high-ranking warriors and higher-ups of the Nightmare Army.
>VICE ARMY COMMANDER CHRISTENSEN<
2 of these females had complicated looks on their faces as they looked at the writing on the door indicating the authority of the individual that was inside.
'Things surely change fast'. One of them thought.
Ariel stood before the door and was about to knock.
"Wait outside". She indicated before knocking once, then she casually opened the door and entered, she knew he was too lazy to answer her.
On entering inside the office, like she expected, Christensen was lazing about, ignoring the bunch of documents on his table as he played and chilled with all 4 of his beasts who were currently in his office.
Flying around in the office, Neo sang a song.
"Love is like a bullet".
"Once it leaves the muzzle of the gun, there's no coming back".
"Love is rigid and unreasonable, love is foolish!"
"Oh love, foolish love!"
The butterfly hummed a long beat after this as he flew happily in the air like he was mesmerized after getting drunk from drinking rum.
Ariel cringed hard at the sight but she was used to it.
At the very front of the office, laying lazily before the see-through glass, Brutus and Leo accompanied each other as they watched the thousands of warriors and recruits that were walking around and training below.
"So weak". Brutus commented.
"Hehe…" Leo chuckled. "Christensen was also once like that, I still remember our first combo ability then, we were just like these bumpkins then".
"I also even remember back further, hehe, when Chris was just a good for nothing Prince. Uncle Legolas really saved him or his life would have been doomed, I remember doing nothing then than eating all day".
"He also did nothing else than petting me all day like a f*cking pet".
Brutus snickered before directing a disdainful look at Christensen.
"Stop judging me you 2". Christensen complained.
Even as he complained, this did not stop him from rubbing Frigga's thick fur, he asked the Snow Fenrir. "How do you feel?"
"I feel amazing, I also feel tense". Frigga gave off a vibe like he was grinning.
"My instincts scream danger and I'm loving it".
"I don't know how close I am to full recovery yet but I believe the coming Cataclysm is my chance. It's been long since I sparred with cosmic beasts, I believe that familiar feeling will be a great stimulus to push me further".
"Well, if you don't die quickly, I may fully recover in the Cataclysm".
Christensen was excited. "What do you think is the success percentage?"
"2.5%". Frigga answered seriously.
"…" Christensen looked at his contracted beast speechlessly.
"Ugh…, forget it".
Christensen and his contracted beasts did all these nonchalantly while fully knowing that someone entered the office.
Ariel's face briefly flushed. "This is so irresponsible of the Vice Army Commander! What if I was an Assassin?"
"You won't even know till you're dead".
Christensen looked at her. "You're too weak to kill me".
Ariel fumed. "Damn, you're seriously sullying the incredible reputation of the Nightmare Army, I should have a good talk with the Army Commander about revoking your authority as the Vice Army Commander".
"Because, seriously, what…"
"What happened?" Christensen interrupted her in a calm collected tone.
Ariel fumed but her business mood kicked in. "Ahem…, reporting to the Vice Army Commander, 2 ladies came asking for you".
Christensen remained rubbing and caressing Frigga's thick fur.
"They came directly from the prison; they were throwing up a big fuss about seeing you. One of them is called Hestia, the other Bianca".
Christensen's hand paused; Frigga directed a complaining look at him.
"Sorry". He apologized to the Snow Fenrir before sitting upright.
Instantly, Christensen's mood experienced a change. "Let them in".
At this moment, Leo also looked back after hearing those 2 names. The next moment, Ariel opened the door as both ladies entered inside the office.
Even after more than 6 years, both ladies didn't look much different. Bianca was still the pale-skin beautiful lady with light blue hair, light blue eyebrows, and light blue lips. Also, Hestia still looked like the opposite of her.
Christensen felt that familiar feeling of facing fire and ice on seeing them.
"Hestia, Bianca". He spoke.
"Vice Army Commander Christensen". Both ladies bowed respectfully.
Christensen had a poker look on his face as they did this. "It's been years since I last saw both of you, what brought you here?"
Hestia forced a smile. "We're siblings you know".
"Yeah, I know". Christensen looked directly at her. "I know you, I lived with you for a significant part of my life, tell me to me face, what do you want?"
Ariel's lips twitched; Christensen was still as straightforward as ever.
Hestia sighed. "You've changed".
"I know". Christensen nodded. "Without changing, I would have never become Vice Army Commander Christensen".
"My time is limited, tell me what you want".
Thud! Thud!
Both ladies fell on their knees the next moment. "We know that we've wronged you but we're still siblings. From heaven, I believe our parents would not be happy to see us living in this estranged manner".
"We've come to apologize, please forgive us as your only siblings".
"Let's return to how we were as kids".
Christensen silently looked at them for over 2 dozen minutes without saying a word, a sentence rang in his mind. 'This is always how we have been'.
He finally spoke. "Over the years, even as I grew stronger as a warrior, I also grew and matured as a human being".
"The more I grow, the more I understand a lot of things".
"Bianca apologizing when pushed to the wall is feasible from what I've observed, but you…" He looked at his eldest sister. "You're a porcupine, an unbreakable wall, that's what you are, you never yield nor surrender".
"I believe this is a tactic to escape your penalties before the jury".
"Let me just make it straight before you". His eyes turned sharp. "In case you don't know before, I am one of the higher-ups of Planet Darvis".
"I can't turn a blind eye to your sins just because you're my siblings. No body is above the law, you must stand before the jury and pay the price for your sins".
Tears were already flowing down Bianca's eyes but with a fiery gaze, Hestia looked at her younger brother. "Hehe…, you won".
Without hesitation, she stood up and left, Bianca soon followed.
As soon as they left, Christensen muttered to himself. "I miss when we were still innocent kids who knew nothing, it was sweet and memorable then".
"What I don't miss is our teenage years which shaped most of what I ended up becoming". He sighed. "No body is above the law".
A few hours later, all the survivors of the Clown Society stood before the jury that was created by President Shanks over the years of his service.
The Judge gave his verdict.
"For the mass murders and destruction that was inflicted on the Planet by the Clown Society, aided and abetted by all of you, I hereby sentence you all…" Silence descended. "To death".
A few minutes later, all the survivors of the Clown Society stood on the execution platform before their Executioner, the Berserker.
This Grade D Pugilist was one of the stand-out warriors of the Pugilist Academy in the Nightmare Army, he was given the privilege to be the Executioner.
Holding the Executioner's axe, he got prepared to do the deed.
As soon as he raised the Axe, no one noticed but this warrior's eyes briefly turned white as in invisible apparition invaded into his body.
When his eyes regained their shine, it was like nothing happened.
He swung the Axe down with one swing.
Whoosh!
A warrior lost his head.
A few minutes later, there was no longer any survivor of the Clown Society.
