"""DOOMGRAD! DOOMGRAD! DOOMGRAD!""" an ocean of Xraxx maniacally shouted in uncharacteristic unison as they roared the words "Doomgrad" which is another title Zaldros had. If Zaldros meant Overlord for the Xerclodian, then Doomgrad means The Will Breaker or simply The Breaker for the Xraxx, a title they gave Zaldros when he was dubbed "Breaker of the Xraxx"
Although the name Zaldros became holy and sanct overtime which eventually led to its prohibition of being said out loud, his nickname as Doomgrad was always shouted by every Xraxx he met so it was fairly common for the Xraxx to call him this. It was Zaldros' name when they were at war, where the Xraxx specialized in.
The sight in front of Zaldros would've made anyone tremble in fear and piss themselves, maybe even The Great Tynon would have reserves in seeing this many Xraxx, and the reason for that is simple... The Xraxx were incredibly violent and CRAZY! But not Zaldros, oh no no no, for Zaldros wasn't afraid of the Xraxx, no... He was utterly and without a doubt terrified of them! Piss himself? He already did before the journey even started!
I mean who wouldn't be afraid of the Xraxx? They were in the words of a wise philosopher "Bat shit Cray Cray" Some were even killing the Xraxxi next to them out of sheer excitement while some were biting their limbs off in and spewing blood and gore everywhere.
But... [At least they were loyal] Zaldros heaved a sigh of relief.
"OH GREAT DOOMGRAD! STEP ON ME! PLEASE! PLEASE!" A Xraxxi pleaded, tearing his eyes out in the process.
"Ughhh... ok" Zadros' voice whelped as he didn't even have the energy to keep his deep voice here in Xraxxi Land... And yes, the Xraxx called their home planet Xraxxi Land... Xraxxi Land.
Xraxxi Land...
Even Zaldros cringed every time he had to call it out. It was like calling Earth, Human Town.
"Oh hello, there stranger! Welcome to Human Town!"
Zaldros stepped on the Xraxx as the Xraxx was torn to pieces by the other Xraxx as they thought he was now blessed with "The Doomgrad's Step"
Apparently they thought getting a piece of the ones who were blessed will get a portion of- the blessing too. This was the reason why the Xraxxi that Zaldros stepped on was happily laughing as they cut up pieces of him... Yes, right now he was "sharing" his blessings.
"Come, come! Take a piece! But no elbows!" The Xraxxi shouted.
Indeed the Xraxx was an impossibly illogical race, it was impossible they survived to this day you might think. But the secret of the Xraxx was, although they looked incredibly wild and stupid when it came to war... they were still incredibly wild and stupid!
Except for one exception.
Zaldros head towards a tall Spire, the Xraxx called "The Brutal Spire" where he went inside a sophisticated cave filled with technology even the Xerclodian couldn't copy, and it was all Xraxxi-tech.
No one would've believed it if you told them the Xraxx could actually put together tools and machinery this incredibly complex as most of the denizens of space knew or at least thought the Xraxx only salvaged technology they had pirated or stole from other races. This was why many would be surprised to find out that the inner-sanctums of the Xraxx holy temple, The Brutal Spire wasn't just a place where the Xraxx did their archaic and outdated rituals and ceremonies but also where the Xraxxi Queens and the Princesses lived.
Well... currently there was only one person living here.
"Zaldros! You came!" A young-looking girl enthusiastically greeted Zaldros with a cute and girly voice that soothed the soul. She was incredibly pretty as her minute Xraxxian features were almost completely invisible! Hazel silky hair tied in a ponytail that cutely bounced back and forth, an adequately petite body that was dressed in a lab coat, and a smile that could melt even the coldest icebergs instantly. There were no scales on her cute beautiful face and the sharp and scary fangs that symbolized the Xraxx weren't present on the girl.
Although she still had sharp teeth, her sharp teeth were incredibly cute as if they were the teeth of a harmless herbivore, unlike the average carnivorous Xraxx.
"H-hi Tina!" Zaldros stuttered as if he was a pubescent boy who was nervously talking to his first love. Which he was by the way as Tina was Zaldros' first-love!
Tina, or Tianara was the only Xraxxi Princess around due to the Xraxx Monarch's bloodline having too many male children, hence Ginara was the only daughter of the current Chief Brutalizer.
Daughters were favored by the Xraxxi as they tended to be incredibly intelligent caring, hence the gravest sin a Xraxxi could commit was rape.
Torture, genocide, patricide, and all that evil stuff were somewhat ok to the Xraxx, just not rape or any form of hurting females really. If another Xraxxi found out you did something to their little girl, every other Xraxxi in the area would come to brutalize you, then your corpse after they're done killing you in the worst way possible that death itself might have been a form of been mercy at that point. In truth, maybe if the Xraxxi weren't so crazy and bloodthirsty they would've been dubbed the greatest gentlemen of the universe.
In reality, the Xraxxi's disdain for hurting women wasn't because of their superior moral code... if they had one (They don't). It was actually from an evolutionary trait they gained, which was, to protect their women, as only women could produce Xraxxi Princesses, or Xraxxi Queens when they get married.
The Xraxxi Princesses were incredibly vital to the continuation of the Xraxx as the Princesses mostly had 99% of the total IQ pool the race had. Yes, the Princesses made logistics, war tactics, scientific research, AND Engineering at the same time. They were basically the lifeblood of the Xraxx.
Was this the reason Tina could call Zaldros by his name?... Eh, no.
It was actually Zaldros who told her to call him by his name cause he had a crush of Tina... Because she looked like the actress who played Geneva in Tynon Balls Z... Yes, Zaldros liked the Anime version of Geneva more than the real actual Geneva... If Geneva were to know of this she would've probably already committed seppuku out of shame!
[Geneva~Chan~! Wait! No no! I'm no pedo! I'm already 199 years old this year... 149 years older than Tina! She's still only at the immature young age of 50! How could I look at her that way?! What would her father think!] Zaldros shuddered as he thought of the big and scary Chief Brutalizer, who was Tina's father, not knowing that in Star Boy standards he too was just as young as her.
*Clears throat* "Why hath thee called for me? TIIINA?" Zaldros said in his usual majestic manner. Bop only stuttered at first because he was staggered from the scene of a legion of Xraxx greeting his arrival, but now that he had regained his composure he was once again The Great Zaldros! The Mighty One! He Who Slays!!!
But Tina just ignored his great display of Awesomeness that would've awed anyone as she innocently pulled Zaldros' arms.
[Kehehe... so cute] Zaldros thought as he looked at her innocent actions as she pulled him to another room.
"Can you kill him for me?" Tina's cute and innocent voice resounded as she pointed to a large gigantic battle mech.
"Eh- what?" Zaldros couldn't connect the horrific words that were said to his cute and innocent angel, Tina!
"But don't kill 'kill' him just... Ah! Attack but don't kill! Wait..." Tina cutely fussed over her words as she had a hard time saying "subdue" or "spar" as the people or Xraxx around her never say those words as it wasn't in the Xraxxian vocabulary.
Zaldros looked at Tina with a troubled face.
"No?" Tina shyly asked as she realized what she was saying was probably too impudent, even if the Mighty Zaldros favored her.
"I-I made the Battle Mech to see if... If it was good... enough... my dad was too weak to check if it had any, any results" Tina started to stutter as she looked at the silent Zaldros, thinking he was angry.
But right now the only thing on Zaldros' mind was [CUTTEEE~!!!]
"Where is this Battle Mech that I shall test?!" Zaldros fiercely said with a confident smile... Although inside he wasn't that confident. [Was that cool enough? Did I overdo it?!]
"Uhm!" Tina nodded brightly as she started the Battle Mech.
"Xraxx Mechanized Battle Infantry version 99.24 codename: Ultra Zeus initializing" The Mechanized Infantry or Mech for short started as fierce engines roared strongly enough that if a normal human from Earth was within 3km from it their ears would burst from the air pressure being emitted by the Mech's Quantum Nuclear Furnace, this was an enhanced version of the engines Exploration Ships use.
"So you're my opponent" Zaldros majestically said as he gestured with his hands "Come at me bro"
*VROOMMM!* The Mech's legs roared and rotated at an impossible speed as if they were wheels as the giant mass of metal collided with Zaldros in less than half a millisecond.
*GRRGGRRGGR* The sounds of the ground where the Mech leaped from crumbled only came another second later than the Mech's collision with Zaldros due to its speed trouncing over the speed of sound.
But Zaldros' confident smug smile was unfazed as he stopped the Mech with his index finger and said: "Quantum Acceleration"
*Voosh!* Zaldros immediately disappeared in front of the Mech, as a large gust of wind exploded due to the speed Zaldros exhibited. The sheer air pressure alone staggered the highly advanced Mech.
"Meteoric Chain!" Zaldros suddenly appeared behind the Mech as he calmly invoked his power and began to slightly punch the Robot in different areas with the Power and Mass of a Star!
*Dang Dang Dang* Large clanks resounded over the arena they were fighting at as large dents broke the robot in different areas.
*Kabam* The Mech, unable to recover from Zaldros' might helplessly collapsed on the ground. The Mech that crushed the Xraxx Chief Brutalizer in less than a second, and could trample over armies couldn't even last 3 seconds in front of The Mighty Zaldros.
