Chapter 1161 Damn Copycats
-----
Without wasting more time, we flew outside with Eleanora, Hendrick, and Saphira all piloting their own Machine Warriors from the VR Game. At the end, all that time in that damned game wasn't for nothing!
"Let's go! As for the other pilots, follow my lead! We'll begin with Defensive Formation A!"
"OOOOHHHH!"
I had briefly taught these pilots several things in the time we spent together, making it easier to quickly set up how we would fight with many different formations. It was completely vital for our survival to learn the positions and formations to quickly be able to change our battle performance and react in time.
However, as we all flew into outer space to confront the Xenoids, we were greeted with a surprise…
"W-Wha…?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"We're surrounded already?!"
"How is this…!"
Hundreds of Xenoids were already flying around us and even part of the gigantic mothership. They either flew incredibly fast towards us to not even give us time to group into a formation or they were now going for pre-emptive strikes.
However that's not where everything that was strange ended though! Many of them were strangely shaped too. Aside from the normal Xenoids and the Brutes and the Mimics, there was a new type.
"You're completely surrounded, Blake and the rest of the pilots. Surrender this instant and your life will not be purged. Instead, you will have the privilege of meeting our queen."
We all heard a voice echoing inside of our minds, as I glanced into the distance, noticing the group of these weirdly shaped Xenoids.
They resembled humanoids of tremendous sizes of over fifty meters each. With lanky arms covered on black steel and huge blue colored crystals glowing over their heads and chest.
Their faces were black masks shaped into creatures, alien beasts, and they held large weapons as well.
Impressive, did they have such units before?!
"You don't want to kill us now?! What sort of joke is this?" I asked. "And out of nowhere you've become incredibly talkative! What gives?"
I confronted them.
"Thanks to the specimens of your race that we've assimilated we have learned your language and also about you and your troops, about humanity," said the leader of this group of strange Xenoids, they were five, but seemed to be behemoths amongst behemoths. "Our Queen in her magnanimity wants to learn more about your race. She has said she will painlessly assimilate all of humanity into becoming one with her if you cooperate. It will be a swift process; she even promises to keep your consciousness individual. How about it? Isn't she very benevolent?"
"A-Ah, this is hopeless!"
"What kind of deal is that?!"
"That queen or whatever is just a monstrous alien anyways!"
"Nothing has changed, they're simply acting as if they're like us, speaking words to deceive us!"
The pilots panicked, as they were completely against the idea of joining with the Xenoids, even less to let this colony of humanity join them either.
"Benevolent, huh?" I laughed. "Oh yes! You're truly a benevolent queen! Thank you for your offer! I accept it!"
The five Titan Xenoids, as I'll call them, glanced at one another with surprise.
"It seems that we've reached a deal then, Blake," the leader said. "Please come with us. We shall guide you to our home world."
"Very well." I flew towards them, as they extended their gigantic hands towards me.
As I glanced into their countless of monstrous eyes beneath those masks, perhaps to hide their ugliness to see more approachable to us.
"Wait, Blake, what are you doing?!"
"He really… No!"
"Wait, please! You can't just abandon us!"
The other pilots screamed as they were surrounded by Xenoids, the Titans were about to reach into me, their eyes greedily glancing at my robot.
Yeah from the very beginning that I knew they wanted this.
My robot, and the core within me.
These greedy, emotionless alien bastards.
Not for a second did I trust their words.
And I never will.
[Divine Spear God Arts]: {One Hundred Lightning Blows Echo}!
I swung my three spears, two from the VR game, another that came included with the machine warrior, and unleashed a mighty barrage of attacks.
My Electromagnetic Demonic Aura surged, exploding at full force as my giant, modified Machine Warrior attacked the Xenoid dozens of times at once.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"GRYYYYAAAAGGGHHH!"
Giving out an agonizing scream as the spear pierced through his long and fleshy arm and rushed all the way down his massive fleshy torso, my spear continued piercing through and burning his body.
"T-The general is killing the giant one!"
"What?!"
"So he was pretending! He tricked them into lowering their guard!"
"S-STOP! STOP YOU DAMN HUMAN! SHYAAAHH!"
The Xenoid Titan counterattacked as I pierced through his torso with his other hand, hyper charging it with electromagnetic energy of the same kind I used and unleashing a charged blow.
CLAAASH!
"UNGH?!"
I was sent flying away before I could even evade or retaliate, floating in the space. The armor covering my body resisted the attack just well enough, no cracks for now.
"My arm…!" the Xenoid Titan groaned. "My Arm it's not regenerating…! Ahhh…! Tricked! TRICKED BY THESE INFERIOR MONKEYS…! GRAAAHHH! KILL THEM ALL! NO MORE MERCY!"
The four other Titans quickly rushed down while the one I attacked quickly flew towards me to finish me off. I glanced at the pilots down below seeing the titans come down.
They can't handle those things on their own! The other Xenoids might be possible but those things… they'll die!
"Eleanora, Hendrick, Saphira! Protect them! Sentinels and Abyssal Vampiric Undead! Formation C! Allow the pilots to attack from a distance! Don't let them be harmed! Or they'll get eaten and give more info to the enemy!"
"VERY WELL!"
The trio of Vampire Spirits roared in unison as their wills unified towards my commands, they flew like flashes of red, purple, and blue light, moving through space and quickly attacking smaller Xenoids and then pushing away the Brutes.
At the same time, the Titans reached them, only for my Sentinels and the Undead I've raised to put a stop to them, using their resilient bodies.
"Where do you think you're looking at?! You shouldn't be worried about their lives. Yours is about to end!"
The one-armed Xenoid swung his giant arm against me, as a massive shockwave of electromagnetic energy reached me.
"Hah…"
BOOOM!
Damn copycats.
