While Null infiltrated the facility.
Outside, what could only be described by the Earth's ancestors as a 'Alien Invasion' took place.
Explosions raged through the skies as the battle became more and more intense.
His shining eyes moved through the battlefield where he noticed, movements, formations, protocols taking place while he engaged an ever-increasing number of drones, ships and robots.
Morpheus hand, coated with Morphenus, impacted against the 'newer' version of the wisdom king's form.
*BOOOOOMMMMM!!*
But rather than be protected with a layer of plasma, this time it was some kind of highly compressed heat whose purpose wasn't to defend, rather, it was erasing his Morphenus!
"You're learning, huh!"
*BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!*
Still... it didn't serve it to anything, Morpheus still impacted his fist harshly against the robot's armour and transmutated it, this time, however, he grit his teeth in thrill.
Because the armour this one is made of, is way weaker than the original diamond allotropic customization.
*SLASH!!!*
Something flew at astonishing speeds behind him, aiming for his wings!
He evaded and drew the first machine, clashing it heavily against the second one!
*BAAANGG!!!*
*BOOMMMMMMM!!!*
An explosion took place right in front of him as he focused his senses in having the massive ball of Morphenus constantly destroy the newcomers that didn't stop flying and throwing missiles one after the other.
It was an unstoppable barrage of firepower!
'He's dragging me away from the facility, limiting my transmutation with weak materials... interesting, INTERESTING!'
*SLASHH!!*
*BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!*
His snicker and thrill didn't cease as he kept destroying machine after machine, the new material was way weaker against the very heath compression, this rendered him to have to take some Morphenus away from the ball that the machines were desperately trying to restrain.
He analysed the battlefield and regarded a particular direction to the North where the ships seemed to be coming from... there, in the distance, was the massive Mothership that seemed to try to have a fixed distance between the two of them.
*RUMBLE!!*
A shell-like holographic structure spread through from a formation of drones that flew above the facility.
As the fight continued, he noticed how the same forcefield from before, seemed to now envelop a wide margin of the factory.
'He's trying to protect the factory?' He furrowed his brows after destroying another one of the machines.
The Magic God didn't take long to realise what it's intentions were, because right at that moment, three bright lights were visible from the dark skies, as bright as the sun.
'Hahaha, are you serious?'
*BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!----------
Just like before,
He covered himself with his wings feeling the pain coursing through every fibre of his divine self as the majestic blast of energy managed to not only destroy several of his leaves but also... destroy the entire City of Brighton together with the inhabitants that had been too stubborn to leave the place despite the evacuation report.
In the end, only a cloud of smoke remained in this barren land, all of the Wisdom King's units were destroyed by the blast too, together with his sphere of Morphenus.
"That was... educative... I can definitely not underestimate this machine anymore..."
Still covered in his dark mantle, Morpheus' wings quivered at the damage, burned all over, but healing...
Hundreds of his divine feathers fell only to be replaced by shining new ones slowly.
*THUMP!*
*THUMP!*
Holy palpitations of energy were released by his sacred self as he cracked his neck.
[Enemy not eliminated... proceeding with the third countermeasure...]
Despite the current appearance of more than ten kilometres of barren land, the robot still didn't give up.
Only the factory remained but the robot was forced to double the layers of protection for what was to come.
'Those beams are powered by geo-kinetic energy... I can definitely feel the earth's vitality in them... disgusting fiends... using the earth's vitality to create such a wretched armament.' He thought as the mothership in the distance shot something gigantic, it was a missile... but not a common one.
It's a Void Nuke.
Morpheus saw the missile coming and rather than be arrogant and take it, he learned... without his magic core brimming with energy, this 'thing' is not likely something he can take on easily.
[Altering Void Spread Coordinates]
The missile flew through the skies, moved by its own anti-gravitational source.
"You committed a mistake, Wisdom King... you destroyed your own units, the ones that should have suppressed me and rendered me unable to flee to point of impact... do you think I'm arrogant enough to keep taking on your offensive? the joke..." With the speed of that missile, that's something Morpheus can easily evade, and he did...
He flashed in a gust of light and flew away from the direction the missile was heading to, as he expected... the missile started to follow him, but that would be something easy to solve.
A beam of holy light was released from his palm, heading to the incoming missile.
And upon contact, time stopped and his expression morphed right at that moment because he felt overbearing gravitational pull!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was silence as the world seemed to stop, space constricted, time slowed down at the sudden increase of proportional mass and the world turned greyish in the wake of oblivion.
It wasn't an earthshaking explosion or a spectacle of lights, it was just devastation.
"A singularity!?"
'No, it's not completely a singularity... if it was... with this size... this planet would be gone...' It's not a singularity like the ones produced with magic... a 'natural' one.
This is an artificial void vacuum.
He marvelled the moment a gargantuan black sphere started to expand and swallow everything in its wake... a singularity, one that requires an indescribable amount of energy to be produced with the use of magic, even a small singularity the size of a grain of rice, it's something that can spend more energy than a third rank spell.
And just a 'true' singularity... the size of a small ball, is enough to swallow this entire planet... therefore, this can't be an authentic one.
But the power is undeniable, and definitely not something he can take on without magic.
The horizon of the black sphere ultimately reached about a kilometre in diameter, evading the factory but also not managing to hit him.
The world remained stagnant for the next ten minutes until the sphere started to recede.
[Enemy not eliminated... out of countermeasures, recalculating...]
"It's truly magnificent, the things that this technology is capable of achieving... but I'm afraid... you underestimated a God." He sighed and lifted up his palm.
The machines that now flew around him heard his words clearly.
[We never underestimate our enemies... singularity...]
The robot's voice that couldn't be less humanoid, spoke with neutrality, still considering, recalculating... how to defeat this foe that seemed to be invincible... he had already gotten enough data for a future encounter, but in the current circumstances with his 'limited' technology, he couldn't calculate anyway.
A retreat is needed, but the mission is to 'erase'.
"You did... let me show you, you're not the only one that has been learning, Wisdom King...!"
*RUMBLEE!!!*
His hand extended with majestic white lightning enveloping it as he 'grasped' air!
!!!!
"It's everywhere, I can sense it as I can sense all the metals... with your arrogance, you have created the perfect weapon for me to wield... it might be limited due to the current state of the matter, but it will work anyway~"
[What are you saying...?]
"How is it that you call it? Carbon Monoxide? Carbon Dioxide?~ I only need to purify it." Morpheus' eyes shone with graceful white lightning.
Those are the eyes of a God.
!!!!
[Impossible...]
It can't be... they're gasses... there is no way.
And at that moment, a spectacle of white lighting coursed through the entire world as Morpheus took the gasses out of the environment, purified the carbon and transformed it into a solid-state... changed the allotropic figure... and produced Morphenus...
At that moment
Because what's in front of it, just doesn't make sense.
After having enough to create a gargantuan spear... Morpheus pointed it to the North, where the mothership is.
[WE WON'T LET YOU!!]
"Oh? you seem to have grown a little exalted... uncharacteristic for an unfeeling machine such as yourself... it's too late!~"
*FIIIUSSSHH!!!!*
*BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!-----------
Leaving a sonic boom as the wake, the Magic God flew together with the spear of glory, intending to finish this fight once and for all with a massive grim in his face, it had been so long since he felt this good... this complete!
Ignoring the hordes of ships and machines that barraged him with missiles and beams he reached the front of the mothership!
It's gigantic, but still!
*WOOOSSHHH!!!*
"HAAAAAAA!!!!"
The 'missile' flew towards the mothership, encountering the first obstruction, a plasma forcefield!
"HHAHAAAAAAAAAA!"
*CLACK!!*
*BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!*
The infantry units started to engage him.
[SINGULARITY!!!]
*SLASSH!!*
*BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!*
Right now, the wisdom king had gone from the offensive to the defensive!
Morpheus engaged at least ten of them at the same time while the black spear continued to penetrate the forcefield!
"Stop calling me that, I'm the Magic God!"
[NEGATIVE, 'GOD' DOESN'T EXIST!]
"YOU'RE ALSO ABOUT TO STOP EXISTING! MACHINE!!"
The black spear finally penetrated the forcefield, and headed straight to the mothership!
*BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!------------
Explosions racked the world as Morpheus kept fighting the robots while his morphenus' spear wantonly destroyed, transmutated and erased everything inside, destroying hundreds of ships, hundreds of robots, updating facilities... everything... there wasn't a single living being in that ship and everything got destroyed!
[M-MAGIC... G-GODD...]
With the destruction of the mothership's main server...
The robots deactivated and started to fall from the skies together with the blazing mothership.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!-------
The Magic God regarded everything from the skies as he extended his hand and the gigantic mass of Morpheus transformed into a nimble staff with regal embroidery.
A copy of his original Majestic Grace Staff.
He knows this isn't the end... since it's a robot... an AI... its existence won't be limited to a single instance... there are surely way more from where that one came from... and with its learning capacity, he's certain the next one won't be any easier to defeat.
Thankfully, there seemed to not be any more of those void bombs in the mothership, but there were several other kinds.
'It's time to go back... I wonder how Null is doing.'
