Onboard the seed (Governor's room)
"You gotta be fucking kidding me." The governors stared at Carter's massive force, chanting through the screen projection in their quarters.
"It seems we weren't wrong about overestimating the star-eating being. To think it would have such a massive following of powerful entities." Governor Trak clenched his fist. "What makes it worse is that they're all most likely high-output Aether users. Damn it... it's the Paladins all over again. Only these bastards also have celestial energy users."
"Makes me wonder if we should have messed with them. Even though the odds are on our side, we're going to lose a lot of our forces." Governor Shroon, of Universe 296, trembled as he watched the screen.
Trak walked over to him, grabbing him by his shirt.
BAM!
Trak throw Shroon into the screen. The governor dropped, struggling to get back up, his hands shaking.
"Shameless bastard," Trak growled. "Not only did we loan Fury to you and you get him killed, but your 30% of your forces were killed including your right hand Jzon. And you have the nerve to act like a bitch right now to the people who did all this do you?" Trak's forehead bulged with a vein. "We're going to kill every last one of these bastards." Trak walked back to his seat, sitting down. "Someone tell Ashira that he has full control of our fleets."
Back in Outer Space
The Primordial Knights stood behind Ralak and the other Sentinels. Ashira and the other stars were floating silently above the X3X ships looking down with rage on ralak and there force. Lorna flew toward Ralak from the Primordial knights, joining the fray.
"Quite the entrance you made for us, big brother Ralak," Lorna said with a smile.
"Always the best when it comes to my lord, little sister. Now, how about we stop all this talking and starring and do what our lord expects of us?" Ralak responded, his tone dark and resolute.
Lorna nodded steading herself for what's to come.
Meanwhile, One of the stars was whispering into Ashira's ear, his smile widening. "Alright, you bastards. Struggle all you want, but you're all going to die. And with things now going my way, I say we stop all this talking and... bring me their heads."
Soldiers clad in high-tech armor began charging out of the ships, the X3X ships distancing themselves to prepare for ranged attacks. But the Seed just stood there, motionless.
Ralak stared coldly at the approaching force, then pointed forward. The Primordial Knights charged, roaring as they advanced.
"HELL YEAH, LET'S GOO–" Rorak shouted, about to charge forward. But Jirak grabbed his shoulder, stopping him.
"Not here, Rorak. Us grown-ups are going to play somewhere else." Ralak said, nodding toward the X3X champions flying off in another direction, clearly targeting them.
"Let's go," Ralak commanded.
The Sentinels followed, their figures disappearing into the void.
The battle was brutal. Ships blasted beams of energy, while armored soldiers fought using high tech weapons instead of Aether power. The X3X vastly outnumbered Carter's knights, but the knights were far stronger.
Percy advanced through the X3X forces with his squad, cutting a path toward the Seed. His thunderous wings beat with a deafening roar as he moved with incredible speed, his spear flashing through the air.
VZZZZZTTT!!
"AHHHHH!" Percy screamed, his body tearing through the enemy lines as he cut down X3X soldiers in his wake. The "air" crackled with the sound of battle, each movement a blur.
He plowed through the hordes until he reached the center of the battlefield, where the other vice leaders had gathered, surrounded by thousands of Primordial soldiers.
"WHAT'S THE PLAN?!" Percy shouted, his voice barely audible over the blasts and the clash of weapons.
The vice leader of the High Heaven faction, Eerie, raised her hand, creating a pocket of silence around them with her ability.
"You were saying?" she asked calmly, her eyes narrowing.
"What's the plan?" Percy repeated, his tone more urgent. "The faction leaders left to deal with their most powerful forces. They must've left us with a strategy."
Eerie nodded, her expression serious. "Yes, the second commander has already given us our orders. We need to destroy their biggest ship. She suspects their leaders are inside, but considering that it's just sitting there without moving, it's highly confident in its defense—and its offense."
"The plan was already clear for me," Percy said, gripping his spear tightly. "My boss told me to crush that big ship. Now that everyone's on the same page…"
He punched his palm, lightning sparking from his fingertips. "What are we waiting for?"
Eerie sighed, her eyes narrowing as she looked at him. "For starters, we need a plan that guarantees success. We can't afford to just charge in without thinking."
Percy's grin widened, confidence radiating from him. "Don't worry. The boss already told me what we need to do. Listen closely. We're gonna—"
Meanwhile. Carter was still in his deep hibernating state, though his conciousness was asleep he was still somewhat conscious, just enough to dream.
Where–Where am i?... I feel like im.. Floating.. Am i floating.
Carter slowly opened his eyes, He was slowly falling in a darkish blue sea, seemingly laying on his back. He lifted his hands and to his suprise it was something so familiar yet felt sureal.
He was looking at his hands of when he was a human. he was still wearing he's school uniform from the day he supposedly died. when he looked up he could see himself falling in the depths, He's tall messy purple hair which he had dyed from his leave me alone mom phase, his light yellow eyes and his slender average height body.
Carter started to touch his face.
It's been so long since I've seen this body… this face… I feel so.. mortal.
"It's nice to feel normal once in a while, isn't it my child."
Carter flung himself and looked to where he heard the noise, this was not the voice of the system, no it was something far different. A figure made out of white light, shaped like a human stood before him, his arms low and wide.
"Fear not my child for i am not hear to hurt you, but to let you know of your purpose… your divine purpose.
