Chapter 1172: Cap 1170: Army Of Bugs Part 1

Caitlyn was alone with the prisoner for 1 whole day, I have no idea what was going on and I didn't care, I'm sure in the end my sister will find out what we need from the prisoner. 

During that day I spent most of the time sleeping, the battle I had inside that woman's mind was one more attempt to survive that one-sided fight. 

I didn't know where the enemy was, the speed and strength of the blows was not the same with many variations, the energy beams were strange, and the damage it caused was not something that made any sense to me. 

Nothing seemed to follow any kind of logic, it was completely strange for me to fight in that place without using most of my powers, I was lucky I didn't have to win that fight since I don't know and I could win. 

"Master, it looks like we have problems." (Nix) 

"What would be the... damn..." (I) 

"I take offense at you calling me a problem." (Thalia) 

"Has the deadline already passed?" (I) 

"Yes and I would like to take the Souls to Act if possible." (Thalia) 

At the same time that Nix appeared beside me in the base's garden, a woman's figure appears walking from behind her, it was Thalia, Saint of Death. 

"I won't hand over all the Souls, but I can give up most." (I) 

"This is a start, but my Goddess still wants everyone, especially one of the leaders who is in charge of various matters" (Thalia) 

"I wonder how you know so many things?" (I) 

"There are no secrets in death and you are always surrounded by death." (Thalia) 

With the number of battles I've been a part of since I was born, I've lost count of the number of lives I've taken to the point where they become just numbers in my mind. 

"I'll let everyone's souls go after the interrogation, but I'll still be left with two counting Haku's." (I) 

I spent some time discussing this with the Saint of Death, her strong will to take all Souls was not simply a wish of the Goddess for her. 

I spent a few hours talking to Santa trying to convince her not to cause any more problems with me, I still needed some Souls for my plans. 

-------------- 

After the Saint of Death left, my face was sweating, that's why I didn't do anything for free now, I asked for her help with something in exchange for the thousands of Souls collected this time and even without liking it she accepted the deal. 

When she left she expected to get back to my physical training, but then Miriam rushed in. 

"We have a problem, a big problem." (Miriam) 

"Just explain." (I) 

"Remember the 5 large ships that commanded the insects we fought a few days ago?" (Miriam) 

"..." (I) 

"I see, they sent more this time... how many are on their way?" (I) 

"There are 170 Ships like that, they are 3 days away from arrival, maybe faster as they seem to be picking up speed." (Miriam) 

"How many bugs are around?" (I) 

"None, other than the last attack it seems they are hiding their troops." (Miriam) 

"With that arrival time, we can assume that they left wherever their base is after their defeat in the last battle, they must have sent a request for help or a report from our power, and that's why they sent more troops this time." (Miriam) 

"That was my point, but it could be more than that, because of the will echo we found we know something or someone was mentally connected with the prisoner." (I) 

"How did you find them?" (I) 

"With those colossal things traveling together towards us there's not much chance of hiding." (Miriam) .

"Even if our sensors didn't work due to the last battle, I have left some of our more stealth and speed oriented vehicles spread out on patrol." (Miriam) 

"You did the right thing, and thanks to that we have time to prepare." (I) 

"But are you sure it's them? I can't help thinking that something is wrong..." (I) 

"We can't get too close to them and my subordinates aren't versed in Aura manipulation, even teaching them it will still take years for them to understand how to manipulate their Auras correctly." (Miriam) 

"Okay, what matters now is not wasting our little time." (I) 

Miriam and I see that Astrid was already doing her job organizing everything in the base's command room, everyone around her doing their best to follow her orders at the same speed as she is speaking. 

I didn't stay there long leaving a few more instructions for her before leaving with Miriam, there were more people to be told about the situation and the meeting I was going to hold. 

--------------  <novelsnext> I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>

2 days later, in orbit around the planet. 

I was with my Families and children around me seeing the big black dots against the sunlight on the other side of them. 

"They really came faster than we expected." (I) 

"We were lucky that Rakan is a magical genius, he was able to create exactly what I asked for." (I) 

"You don't know anything, that old man created a lot of spells thinking about you, mainly defensive spells since your bad luck is beyond horrendous..." (Elsaris) 

"You forgot to say the last word." (I) 

"Don't mind her too much, Father." (Samira) 

"She's like that with everyone." (Samira) 

We could all look relaunched, but from everyone's posture I could tell that this was just to lighten the mood, everyone was nervous as each ship like this must contain thousands of insects, not to mention those with Summoning abilities. 

"Father, these creatures look different than the ones we've fought before." (Magnus) 

"..." (I) 

I focus my Aura on my vision, then use some spells and abilities to better see these enemies even far away. 

Thanks to that little effort I was able to see these large creatures up close, Magnus was right this time, these creatures are different, very different. 

The spaceship-shaped creatures from last time had their bodies covered in metal scales that when closed gave the impression of being a spaceship, but these creatures now look more like fish. 

They have a fish fin and tail, and they also have eyes, their scales this time looked natural as if it were some kind of raw metal, these creatures are clearly the unmodified versions that these "Apostles of Truth" used last time. 

"They are called Refgio das Estrelas, they are creatures that need others to survive, they have a high energy consumption and in the adult phase it is difficult to feed themselves, that is why these creatures harbor other forms of life inside them, from monsters to people, are intelligent and form a mental link with the most compatible person to know where to go." (Elizabeth) 

"They absorb the energies and Aura of those who live within them, but only the energy and Aura that leaks from their bodies naturally." (Elizabeth) 

"So they basically grow their own food?" (I) 

"It's more like a creature that lives symbolically with other creatures, they're even called abodes of the lost." (Silvia) 

As I listened to my sister and daughter talking about the large creatures, I kept looking at them until they were in better range for my Aura focused on my eyes being able to see their Aura. 

Just like before it was a network of Auras interconnecting each other, but this time it was different, I just couldn't see where the indifference was. 

"Start getting ready, on my signal we'll go all out." (I) 

As I say this, I turn my head to the Navar and Zadiris together from their respective tribes, they are also using special magic, but it is something they have created themselves over the generations. 

The first strike would be our best opportunity, but I didn't know where to aim my attacks, but I don't know which of these creatures is carrying the enemy leader. 

Last time there were several Death Locust Queens and 1 Empress, at least the ones I fought against, that's not counting the others, this time I don't even know how many there are among these enemies. 

"They are getting close but something is wrong, they are keeping a very defensive formation with less than 10 of them up front." (Natasha) 

"They are being cautious." (I) 

"Sir, I need to tell you something..." (Hades) 

Hades comes close to me and starts talking in a whisper, something, even as he speaks I keep paying attention to the enemies I'm waiting for them to get close enough to start our attacks, but what I just heard from Hades makes me think. 

"In front or behind?" (I) 

"I'm not absolutely sure without getting closer, but I believe it's further back." (Hades) 

"..." (I) 

"You have my permission, but remember your safety comes first." (I) 

"That servant will follow your instructions." (Hades) 

I see Hades leaving with a big smile on his face and I turn my eyes to Alice who was standing nearby, she just smiled as she nodded in confirmation. 

Sigh 

"Then they say I'm the one who can't stay focused." (I) 

When I saw the eyes again I realized that the large creatures were close enough, I even noticed that the Aura lines connecting them looked more like energy flows and Aura similar to the current of a river. 

"I think it's going to be a little harder than I thought." (I)
