Thud! Thud!
A pair of eyes blinked open in the darkness of the prison room.
Sitting cross-legged in meditation, his breath was as smooth as a gentle breeze moving across a plane as electricity and magnetism cackled around his body.
His eyes fully opened when over a dozen eyes focused on his back.
Champion Onana took a deep breath.
"You are back?" He smiled. "You surely took your time".
He finally stood up to look at the door of his prison room as the tension instantly increased. With a slight smile on his face, Champion Onana ignored everyone else as he walked closer with his sight only on Legolas.
At this moment, all the Grade C Superhumans and protectors in Planet Darvis were gathered at this secret prison and as the prisoner came closer, the atmosphere instantly turned tense.
They felt like they were standing before a weapon of mass destruction.
It was only last week that they were giving their all, fighting to the death.
Champion Onana's show in the just concluded war was forever etched in their minds. A single warrior taking on all the strongest combatants of Planet Darvis was not an everyday sight, the means they went to just to subdue him told a lot.
Without Legolas, perhaps, they would have all been rotting in their graves by today, the fear was still etched in their brains.
It was perfectly normal for them to feel endangered.
After walking close enough, Champion Onana held the Arcanite metal bars as his eyes remained trained on only Legolas.
"So, what was the verdict?"
His smile turned interesting. "Did you guys decide to execute me?"
"Am I dying today?"
Legolas had a poker look on his face as he looked at this Grade B Super. After becoming 21 years old, he was no longer that small boy who was far older than his age mentally, at least he no longer had to use the Ultimate Man Potion.
Legolas looked Champion Onana straight in the eyes.
"We need to know the full composition of the enemy we're facing".
Champion Onana's smile widened. "I guess that means I'm free".
…
The Desert, Ella's secret mechanic workshop…
For a long time since the war, a question had lingered in Onana's mind. 'How were these backwater dwellers able to get a hold of Destroyers?'
It was only after seeing the secret mechanic workshop that his eyes widened in understanding, but in exchange, more questions arose.
'How were they able to set up a mechanic workshop?'
'How did they get access to a mechanic?'
'Or where they somehow able to create Battleships without a Mechanic? Definitely no, that's crazy!'
Despite his many questions, it was not yet time to have them answered as like he demanded, they took him to where his Roman Rider was kept.
The Frigate was damaged from the war but was still operational.
Leading the way forward, Champion Onana soon arrived in his personal work chamber in the Frigate accompanied by the Grade C Superhumans of Planet Darvis.
There, he was easily able to take back control over the Battleship.
A few minutes later, a virtual projection appeared.
[RESEARCH SUBJECT: SPACE BUGS!]
[Specie: Radiation Space Bug!]
[Types: Common Space Bug; Special Space Bug; Unique Space Bug]
…
[COMMON SPACE BUG!]
[Grade: E to D]
[Body Configuration: 98% Mechanical; 2% Organic!]
[Biological Organs: Brain and Heart!]
[Attack Types: Short range and long range!]
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ [Short Range: They mostly attack relying on their sturdy metal skin for ramming attacks, their deadly metal legs for kicking, and their even more deadly teeth for cutting.]
[Long Range: Blood Combination Attacks!]
>After years of basking in the energy and radiation from the Giant Star, the Radiation Space Bugs mutated their last surviving biological organs into radioactive weapons of mass destruction. Their blood contain radiation<
>Their Blood Combination Attacks work by channeling this radioactive blood through their heart. Then their brain connect them to each other, forming such an incredible synergy where they unleash their attacks at the same time<
[Weakness: Intelligence!]
[The Common Space Bugs are mindless canon fodder, careful maneuvering can enable a normal warrior to dodge their combination attacks. Killing them is much easier since they are simple-minded Bugs.]
Champion Onana turned around to face his audience. "These are the weakest of the enemies that are coming for us all".
"In galactic terms, they are not too strong but in Planet Darvis terms, they are. This is because they have an army of tens of millions of these Space Bugs".
"Imagine a scenario of tens of millions of Grade C Cosmic Beasts invading Planet Darvis, they will be too much for you all to handle".
"…" Instantly, the faces of the Grade C Superhumans turned grave.
"Their sheer number makes them a great threat but this is not the main threat of the coming cataclysm. Like I classified them as indicated above, there are 2 more classes of these Space Bugs".
He swiped his hand, causing the Roman Rider's A.I to make another projection, this time it was of a bigger type of Space Bug, the exact types that Legolas and Enoch saw a week ago.
[SPECIAL SPACE BUG!]
[Grade: C]
[Body Configuration: 95% Mechanical; 5% Organic!]
[Biological Organs: Brain; Heart; Organic Power Reactor; Organic Mana Core!]
[Attack Types: Short range and long range!]
[Special Space Bug Types: Psychic; Laser; Pugilist; Commanders!]
[The Psychics through their organic mana core learn the basics of psychic energy which they finetune over years of hibernation and development!]
[The Lasers through their organic mana core convert universal mana into pure aggressive laser energy which they blast at enemies!]
[The Pugilists channel all their mana into developing their metal bodies into the sturdiest and strongest vessel of destruction!]
[The Commanders direct most of their development towards their brain. But unlike the Psychics, they focus on learning how to command Common Space Bugs in battle. In the right circumstances, they are the most dangerous!]
[Confirmed Special Space Bugs: 81]
"Compared to the Common Space Bugs, they are far lesser in number but…" He looked at them. "Like I said, imagine a scenario of 81 Grade C Supers invading Planet Darvis, I doubt you have what it takes to defend against them".
Another virtual projection lit up.
[UNIQUE SPACE BUG!]
[Grade: B]
[Body Configuration: 90% Mechanical; 10% Organic!]
[Attack Types: Short range and Long range!]
[Dangerous Capabilities: Ability to command more than 1 energy!]
[Threat Assessment: Extremely Dangerous!]
[Confirmed Unique Space Bugs: 3]
This time, Champion Onana smirked. "During my escape battle from Planet Titania, I lost my main war weapon, my strongest mechanic suit".
"With my weaker suit, I gave you lot a run for your money".
"Imagine me in my strongest form, then imagine 3 me in my strongest form invading Planet Darvis, you'll be extinct in an hour". Onana was ruthlessly direct with his words.
"As for the last species, there is only one of them, him".
Another virtual projection lit up, this time of a gigantic version of the Space Bugs that was so big that it seemed like a mini planet in itself.
[BUG CONQUEROR!]
[Grade: A]
[Body Configuration: 60% Mechanical; 40% Organic!]
[Body Classification: A true Cyborg!]
[Attack Types: Short range, Long range, and Extreme range!]
[Dangerous Capabilities: Numerous!]
[Threat Assessment: Exceedingly Dangerous!]
[Status in Bug Hierarchy: Leader!]
The sight of this gigantic Cosmic Horror already chilled the Grade C Superhumans who were present watching, some of them gulped.
This time, Champion Onana's face was also grave.
"This is our main enemy, the Bug Conqueror".
"He is the envoy of the coming Cataclysm!"
Champion Onana looked at all the Grade C Superhumans present. "He is our Common Enemy that we should do everything to take down".
"…"
"…"
"….."
Silence descended and reigned for a few seconds.
"Hehe…" One of the Superhumans suddenly chuckled, all eyes in this Battleship turned to look at him, his eyes were like he was going crazy.
"A Grade A Beast…" He body shook as he laughed. "We're dead! Do we even stand a chance?!"
"Alone, no". Champion Onana interrupted. "But I think with luck, we might stand a chance if we unite against this common enemy".
All eyes focused on him again, this was when Legolas spoke.
"Before deciding, tell me…" His eyes gleamed. "How were you and your fleet able to escape the grasp of a Grade A Cosmic Beast?"
He glared at him. "You may be powerful, but you stand no chance against a bonavide Grade A Monster".
His eyes narrowed. "Tell me the truth".
"…" Champion Onana froze.
