The Genesis Sacrifice
Trust is the first thing that gets you killed in the apocalypse. But sometimes, survival requires a temporary gamble.I studied her, her advanced hazmat armor and the glowing plasma rifle in her hands. She was not afraid of me, so she was very stupid or very ferocious.You lead the way," I said smoothly, my blue eyes glowing in the toxic green fog. If you shoot at my back, I'll tear your arms off and beat you to death with them, though.Nova just smirked. Okay, King; follow me.The Dead Zone was a glowing yellow slush, and we moved through it quickly. After another 10 minutes we arrived at the foot of a broken-down military watchtower. Nova pushed away a huge mass of frozen debris and found a large circular vault door, embedded directly into the ground. It was made of thick, reinforced depleted uranium.Nova stole her black keycard. The heavy locks clattered and the huge uranium door slowly opened, showing a pitch black staircase leading deep underground.We went into the Genesis Lab.
The King and the Dust
The green nightmare swallowed the industrial district whole.The sky grew dark outside Shelter 04, and a huge, rolling cloud of rusted ash filled the air. It wasn't merely a drop in temperature; it was a rotting graveyard.The enormous doors of the titanium bunker stood before Jax and the Chimera Infantry. Maya was standing by them, her phantom ice blades extended and blazing brightly in the dark.From the thick green fog, a tall, thin figure slowly emerged.It was the Tier-6 Necrotic Overlord. It had the old-fashioned clothes of an ancient king, pitch-black skin, and glowing, milky white eyes. It didn't run. It didn't roar. It simply walked ahead, silent as a tomb."Open fire!" Jax roared.The big .50-caliber machine gun roared. 50 soldiers of the Chimera unloaded their assault rifles and rocket launchers directly at the ancient monster.But the Overlord just opened its mouth and let out a puff of air.The air above the battlefield was filled with the aroma of decaying breath. The bu
The Architects of the Apocalypse
A true king doesn't just build a house; he builds a fortress that the world fears.I was standing in the middle of the command room of Shelter 04 with the large glowing white Tier-6 Necrotic Core. Maya, Jax, and Nova, the other members of my team, were all silent. The bunker was already huge, but it wouldn't be enough for what was next.I went over to the main power console."System," I commanded. Eat the Tier-6 Core. Upgrade Territory: Shelter 04.I broke the glowing white crystal into the main generator hub.[Command acknowledged. Eating Tier-6 Necrotic Core.][Territory Evolution Initiated. The upgrade of Shelter 04 to 'Chimera Citadel.'The entire underground facility violently shook. The golden-blue Chimera energy surged through the power cables, infecting the walls of the bunker. The heavy titanium metal became pitch black and turned into the same indestructible obsidian alloy that my bone-plated skin was made from.The standard military auto-turrets on the roof were transformed
Harvesting the Gods
Aliens think they are gods because they fly in silver ships and play with the stars. I was about to show them what a real god looks like.The other four Architect Vanguards floated back, gazing at the broken chest of their deceased leader. Their high-tech tactical computers were in a panic. The earth was supposed to be a farm teeming with stupid animals. They weren't expecting a Tier-6 Chimera King.The Vanguards, their mechanical voices glitching, announced, "Threat Level: Maximum." Exterminate the anomaly!"All four of the giant biomechanical warriors attacked me at once. They wove their purple plasma staves into a whirling wall of super-heated energy that was capable of cutting through steel like butter.I didn't step back. I gripped the thick plasma staff I just stole from their dead captain.The first Vanguard was swinging his staff straight at my head. My Apex Speed made the alien appear to be swimming. I slipped under the glowing purple blade and swung my own stolen weapon in a
The God of Gravity
You don't wait for the storm to hit your house. You walk outside and kill the sky.I was at the foot of the stolen Vanguard ship's metal ramp. Jax was standing in the snow with his heavy machine gun on his shoulder.I told him to "lock the Chimera Citadel down. Do not let any other ship than this one come down from the sky; shoot it.Jax nodded in absolute respect. "Yes, King. "Give them hell."I turned and walked up the ramp. Nova was already seated at the blue glowing control console inside the sleek, silver ship. Her violet eyes scanned the holographic screens with quick translation of the alien code. Maya stood behind her with her arms crossed and was totally fearless.The ship is a reflection of the black cosmic energy from the core you had absorbed, Nova said, turning to look at me. Simply put your hand on the primary drive.I rested my obsidian black armored hand on the glowing central pillar.The Vanguard ship sprang to life in an instant. No fireworks show, such as a Roman ca
The Orbital Execution
If you kill the king, you get to keep his castle. And my new castle just happened to be a moon-sized warship floating in outer space.I crossed over the scattered debris of the supreme commander and opened the massive glowing double doors wide. As we walked onto the Mothership's main command bridge, Maya and Nova trailed me.It was a stunning room, with large glass windows that gave us a great view of the frozen Earth spinning below. The bridge was totally deserted. The cowards had sent the whole army to the hangar, leaving the control center unguarded.A huge, floating command throne was placed in the middle of the room, attached to a glowing purple console.“Nova, hurry up,” I commanded.Nova ran quickly to the console and inserted her hard drive into the alien mainframe. Her fingers flew across the holographic keys. The main systems are secured with a biometric cosmic seal, and the computer does not respond to humans.I told him that I was not human anymore, I replied.I approached
The Boiling Abyss
A god does not hide in the stars while his enemies breathe.The silver Vanguard ship fell from its orbit like a meteor, racing through the earth's atmosphere. Nova held the controls, her violet eyes fixed on the huge holographic radar. Maya stood next to her, holding onto the pilot's seat to steady herself.I was at the rear of the vessel, and it was in no way a bother to me. In the flashing red emergency lights, my obsidian-black bone-plated skin glistened.“It is now time to go to the Pacific sector!” The roar of the engines was heard by Nova. "The orbital strike completely shattered the ice cap. “It's really boiling out there in the sea!”“Take us down to the surface,” I commanded.The grey, thick clouds of steam parted, and the ship emerged. What was below us was apocalyptic. The ice that had frozen just hours before was now a roiling sea of churning water and jagged icebergs in the Pacific Ocean. The big waves roared and crashed into one another and made a deafening noise.Then,
The Iron Blood Delusion
Greed makes people blind. It makes them forget that if a man is holding a stolen alien spaceship, you probably shouldn’t try to rob him.The silver Vanguard Ship sliced through the dark clouds, descending rapidly toward the industrial district. But as the Chimera Citadel came into view on the holographic radar, Nova’s fingers flew across the console. “There is a problem!” Nova said, her violet eyes narrowing. It's not monsters surrounding the bunker.I peeked through the thick glass window. Ten thousand heavily armed human soldiers were spread across the snow-covered streets. They were equipped with battle tanks, heavy artillery trucks shiptrucks,and mounted laser cannons. They were dressed in winter armor, a greytrucks,gray and red uniform.They were the banners she knew, Thegraythe Iron Blood Coalition sneered thesneered,Maya. They are a huge warlord group from the eastern ruins,sneered,ruins; they must have witnessed the orbital plasma and followed our ship.The Iron Blood soldier
The Planet-Cracker Failsafe
When you conquer a world, the universe either bows down to you or tries to kill you.I strode back into the black obsidian halls of the Chimera Citadel. Maya, Nova, and Jax trailed shortly behind. There was no sign of the Iron Blood Coalition anywhere outside, but for the frozen puddles. The human warlords had been completely washed away by my tsunami strike.But there was no time to celebrate our victory over the earth. There was a storm brewing.As soon as we walked into the main command room, the golden-blue console screens flashed a violent purple, pulsing. An emergency automated frequency was being broadcast directly from orbit by Vanguard Ship, which was parked outside.Nova ran off to the terminal, her violet eyes translating the alien text as it quickly began to appear in English. Her facial expression changed to deathly pale, and her hands trembled.Nova gritted her teeth with utter terror, her voice tight with it. A computer-controlled network around the mothership suddenly
The Celestial Executioner
A throne is just a chair until a king sits in it and makes the universe tremble.I was seated in the floating command throne of the architect mothership. The pulsing, golden-blue Chimera energy had completely assimilated the alien bridge. The frozen ground whirled silently outside the great glass doors; it was now a conquered stepping stone.Although the bone-plated skin is black as pitch on my body and the massive tier-7 cosmic energy swirls through my veins, the very essence of my face has not changed at all. I still looked just like Kaelen Vance, though. There was one thing that was different: the shocking, golden blue light that glinted in my eyes—the undisputedly godly.I spoke with a commanding tone across the silent bridge, the word "nova." The infantry did their job well today, but fifty-two tier-1s can't fight a galactic war. Open the ship's biological manufacturing bays; we are going to start a mass evolution.Nova's eyes turned violet as she tapped the holographic console.
