Veronica, Ervas, and Aurora had left their fragments as clones in the world of Kosmos long before they defeated Hekaton, and although they had learned from them that they defeated Hekaton and even saved Kritias, they didn’t got the details of it, but they did learn about Samsara and his children, the Celestials. However, they were sure that they wouldn’t easily find them, as they were mere fragments of the original ones, and they wouldn’t be the main targets of their hate.
Well, they hoped that such a thing wouldn’t happen. However, reality was often disappointing and never how people could expect it to be. The trio were surprised as Samsara was not someone that could easily forget grudges, especially now that he saw how The One was helping his children. He decided to act drastically.
”I wouldn’t had done this if you didn’t forced my hand, The One.” He said. “Let’s see if you can protect two worlds at the same time… Or well, just let this world be destroyed, just another in the pile of worlds you didn’t even cared for, isn’t it? I could sense their presences all the way here… whatever stupid scheme they’re planning with it, it won’t work!”
Samsara laughed within his realm, as he pointed his eyes into the world of Kosmos, which was confined within a bubble of space, separating it from outer space. However, because Samsara unleashed his powers and searched for the fragments of his targets, he was able to tear apart space and time and open a portal so his children could enter and invade it!
However, he was also seeing as things happened in Eden, the Angels were spreading their forces and decimating his Celestials to the point that many began to die over and over very quickly, the power of these Valkyries was truly heaven-defying! And to boot, some of the corpses and the essence of all these defeated Celestials was all being absorbed by the split souls from a distance, slowly growing stronger and stronger.
Of course, as he attacked the world of Kosmos, he didn’t expected that a new player would enter the war, enormous drones made of flesh the size of entire planetoids and moons suddenly emerged from within a wormhole. These monstrous beings composed of red flesh, countless crimson red eyes and wiggling tentacles were terrifying creatures, aliens that devoured biomass and expanded across countless Star Systems, they went for a single name as they were all a legion, the Hivemind.
With these new players in the battlefield, the two teams fighting against one another were suddenly interrupted as enormous giants made of flesh began to attack both at the same time! Some suddenly opened their giant gaping mouths, firing enormous red beams against both Celestials and Angels, while the planet below, Eden was being protected by Aurora, the Hivemind Matriarch looked down at it, opening her jaws to unleash millions of small Hivemind drones that flew through the empty void of space, trying to approach the planet to conquer it and devour all biomass on it! and they were not just raw power now, as magic circles emerged around their bodies and they began to fire beams of elements against the black hole, forcing Aurora to put more energy and time into defending the place.
”Damn it these bastards, just when we thought we were pulling through!” Muttered Aurora, unleashing her powers as she distorted space and time, firing back all the magical attacks, and killing hundreds of these Hivemind drones of small size, although hundreds more continued to come. The Hivemind Mother didn’t knew much about what was happening, but she knew that exhausting a foe through an endless army was a strategy that worked most of the time anyways!
She quickly forced her units to continue moving forward towards the planet, all while the Angels were busy evading their attacks while also fighting the annoying Celestials. They were not being spared by the Hiveminds, and were all attacked equally.
However, the Hiveminds were strong in numbers, but they were fairly weak against an Angel. Many of the Valkyries unified their strength, unleashing powerful attacks using holy weapons and heaven magic, and after a few minutes since the Hivemind entered battle, one of their planetoid-sized ones was suddenly killed ahead of the Mother’s expectations!
BOOOOOMMM!!!
The enormous Hivemind detonated from the inside out, as the Valkyries had flew inside by protecting themselves with barriers of heaven magic to protect themselves from the aliens parasitizing powers, destroying their insides and then burning them with the power of holy light! The hivemind was burned from the inside until it exploded, and all its flesh was quickly turned into ashes!
The Hivemind Matriarch noticed that the Valkyries were powerful, attempting to use her strongest warriors against them. The Angels were quickly swarmed by powerful planet-sized Hiveminds with power over generating kinetic forces, the Angels were strong though, but their enemies were massive, although they could kill the beasts, they took a long time to die, and therefore they took away a long time for them to be able to defeat them.
The powerful Hiveminds were not going to let the Angels get away with this though, they were resentful of one of their bodies dying, and quickly started to target the feathered women more than the Celestials. Meanwhile, the Celestials started to wonder what to do now, but Samsara began to realize that it was the best if they could just gang over the angels and attempt to kill them if they could, because the Hivemind targeted those that damaged them more, it was possible that they could even be ignored if they were quick enough.
Samsara found himself puzzled though, he knew about the Hiveminds, but he just learned that they had one of them in this planet, and that they had come here for this very Hivemind. However, this Hivemind seemingly was defeated and killed, so they were targeting his foe because they wanted revenge, most likely!
”Heh, then this is excellent… We can use them to our advantage.” Thought Samsara, already deciding to use the Hiveminds to his children’s advantage!
