Chapter 218: 8.25

"YOU DARE TO HURT MY OMEGA! I WILL RIP YOUR WINGS OUT!"

General Vega was astonished by a sudden appearance from the alpha that he thought already left him for Prince Rigel. General Vega already accepted that his fated pair might have broken their connection together, and General Vega had accepted his death.

Who would've expected that the same alpha staying in the capital, supposedly having sex with Prince Rigel, actually showed up in Sweren? And Sweren was notably far away from the capital.

[Did he… come here with his mech only?]

[Pupa: Indeed. He hadn't slept for two days. He spent the whole two days travelling to Sweren with his SSS Boxer.]

[…] 

[Pupa: It seems that he is extremely worried about your safety, that his fated connection guided him to you. Because well, you two are fated pairs in every timeline anyway.]

General Vega watched Altair, whose eyes were red and had dark eye bags. He hadn't slept for two days and rushed to Sweren to protect him. Altair was obviously extremely tired, and if he was not an SSS alpha, he would've died out of exhaustion currently.

But he persevered because his omega needed him.

"Altair Roderick…" General Vega tried to wake up from the ground, but his wound wouldn't let him move. He was basically powerless right now. He made a low groan and tried his best to at least propped his body.

He said weakly, "Altair, don't…"

Altair heard the painful groan, and how General Vega tried to stand up, Altair reacted harshly by yelling at General Vega, "Stay right there! You are heavily wounded!"

"No, I need to help you!" General Vega insisted, "You are my cadet. I should be the one protecting you!" General Vega stubbornly tried to stand on his feet, but his feet wobbled, and he fell again.

"General! Listen to me not as your cadet, but as your alpha!" Altair yelled, "I will never leave you alone, and I will never let you get hurt! Because I love you!"

'Because I love you…' that words echoed inside General Vega's ear. He never expected Altair to have a love this deep for him. A man that would resist the devil temptation only to come and rescue him.

General Vega looked up towards Altair, his alpha that looked way more majestic than usual. Truthfully, the General hated this kind of weak feeling. He didn't want to be protected. He wanted to protect instead. 

But maybe just this once, he wanted to be protected… by his alpha.

[Ding! Yunyu's Fatemeter reached 100%. Yunyu is in love, kyaaah!]

[Pupa:… why are you making your imaginary number?]

[Oh my my, Pupa! Don't you see that I'm finally in love with Altair? He is such a stubborn and brash young man, but he is responsible and a gentleman!]

[Pupa: Yeah, yeah, I have to admit that. I also didn't expect him to actually waste his energy to save you. What a wasted opportunity.]

[What wasted opportunity? You really want to get me killed?!]

[Pupa: Yes.]

[… you can give me a white lie there, that would be helpful.]

General Vega bit his lips. Since he was not used to this, he was afraid to be seen as a weak omega. But knowing how hard it was for Altair right now, he felt evil if he didn't say this. Thus, General Vega collected as his bravery, and he shouted towards Altair;

"PLEASE PROTECT ME, MY FATED ALPHA!"

Altair was surprised when he heard that from General Vega. He never thought someone as prideful and powerful as General Vega would ask for protection from his alpha. He finally admitted that he was an omega… his omega.

Altair felt a sudden boost in his strength. All that exhaustion and pain he went through until he reached Sweren was worth it for him. Because General Vega finally accepted him.

Altair had a slight grin on his face. His eyes were focused on the buzzing Wasp with its deadly sting ready to attack Altair. 

Altair Roderick prepared himself and replied to General Vega, "Don't worry, General. I will never die without embracing you first."

Altair confidently dashed towards the Wasp while equipping a pair of sharp blades on the mech's elbows. Altair attacked first by kicking the Giant Wasp, but the Giant Wasp skilfully evaded and attacked with its sting.

Although the Wasp was fast, Altair was also as fast and noticeably even faster if not because of his exhaustion. Altair used the blade on his mech elbow to defend himself. 

Altair jabbed the Giant Wasp and hit its body. The Giant Wasp shrieked and retreated in response. It then attacked Altair again, with the same string attack. In which, Altair just dodged it and jabbed the Giant Wasp.

The Giant Wasp shrieked again. Altair chuckled, but his eyes were cold. He kept his steady glance at this Giant Wasp, ready to kill it anytime, "What's wrong? You hurt my omega and toyed with him. It is time for me to punish you.

Altair used the boxing gloves of the SSS boxer. He dashed in front of Giant Wasp and then punched it a few times. The Giant Wasp was about to retreat back to its Zergs soldiers for reinforcement after realizing this alpha it was facing right now was not the usual alpha."

Altair was eager to kill this monster for hurting his General. When the Giant Wasp tried to retreat, Altair dashed really fast. He looked like he just teleported out of nowhere.

Altair cold-heartedly sliced the Giant Wasp's wings with his blade.

The Giant Wasp shrieked, and it fell on the ground with a massive bang. Every soldier and Zergs finally looked towards the red mech, SSS boxer with the man inside. They saw how this alpha suddenly appeared and quickly cut the Giant Wasp's wings.

Altair landed on the ground, right near the Wasp's head. 

He looked down coldly towards the Zergs, "I will never die against a mindless bug like you. And this is for hurting my omega."

The Giant Wasp shrieked for the last time, and Altair punched its head until it exploded, leaving weird purple ooze splattered everywhere. The Giant Wasp's body twitched a few times before it was assumingly dead. 

The air of silence filled the battlefield. The previously coordinated Zergs suddenly lost their direction. Even two Giant Cockroaches with carapace had lost their direction immediately and started charging against each other and fought.

The smaller Zergs hastily retreated after the Giant Wasp was dead. And the soldiers tried to exterminate as many as possible, successfully eliminating at least 90% of the Zergs Invasion today.

The Lieutenants were finally able to take down both Giant Cockroaches since they didn't seem to have a goal, just fighting against each other mindlessly.

Altair walked towards General Vega. He was breathing heavily. After that adrenaline rush he got from General Vega, Altair basically had wasted almost all his energy. 

Altair left his mech and ejected wounded General Vega out of his mech. He carried General Vega to the Lieutenants who approached them. Altair sat on the ground with General Vega on his embrace, he said to the Lieutenants;

"Help… my omega first…" he said before he fell unconscious.
