2024-10-29 19:42:56Living underground and deprived of all communication, Croft was unaware of either the clash between Sobek and Wafner on the Moon or of Wafner's intent to transfer a small part of the imperial population to Ares to recapture Eden at a later time; and even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared. All he needed to know at the moment was that the world was about to be destroyed by a madman and the even madder people following him.
But Croft could avoid it. He just needed to be able to plug the USB stick into the base's main server. From there, Alycia could have made those hell bombs disappear forever.
Evidently the general took his brooding as hesitation, so he tried to reassure him: “When you're done, you'll have to get ready to leave. You have been selected"
Croft was surprised. “Selected for what?”
"To survive. You will leave for Davis and there you will be assigned the position of engineer in charge of the terraforming project and the es

On Davis, the few defenders were preparing for the attack they knew was coming. “So, do you understand everything?” Eema asked.The rest of the group nodded. “It's a risky plan” Jamie said. "But it's the only one we have available""I hate to admit it, but it is" Liam confirmed."Good" Blue said. “Remember, we have to make sure the colony isn't harmed. I don't know what is currently happening on Eden, but we have to assume that the worst-case scenario occurs. In that case, the colony will be the only hope for humans and animals to survive"The scientists and dinosaurs present nodded. As bad as it was to think so, they had to assume that all the countermeasures the dinosaurs were taking on Eden would fail and the planet would be destroyed. Had that happened, the colony would have been the lifeline for all of them. It couldn't house all of the human and animal population, but if it kept going some of them could escape there via

"The moment has come! Let's notify Norm!” Jamie exclaimed. Blue deactivated [Ambush] and once she was visible again the girl raised a torch and turned it on. Since they couldn't scream because of the ultrasound (and even if they did they wouldn't be heard) and because of the electromagnetic pulse they couldn't use telecommunication devices, the simplest choice for fast communication was light.As soon as she glimpsed the flashlight in the distance, Norm knew it was time. The scientist was inside the colony's air conditioner, which controlled that the air didn't become too cold. Even with the glass dome capturing the sun's heat, Davis was still too cold to be bearable by humans, so the base was dotted with pipes carrying hot water that released steam to keep the temperature stable.However, controlling the temperature of the base in this way also had tactical advantages. Norm cranked up the heat, warming the air a few degrees every second. And if there was one rul
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Battle in the sea
“Mosasaurus at left of the ship!”Off the coast of the Empire, in the middle of the North Sea, was a large fleet. Following Wafner's order, all of the Empire's navy had immediately ventured to sea to hold out as long as possible. And now they were engaging in a fierce battle against the creatures of the sea.Marine reptiles, whales, killer whales, sperm whales, fish: every vertebrate of the sea was hurling itself furiously at the ships. And at the head of that army, of course, was Mazu.As asked by Old Li, the mosasaurus had attacked the coasts of the Empire in order to occupy them and establish another front from which to bomb enemy military bases and eliminate as many atomic weapons as possible. An armada of notosaurs, seals, sea lions, crocodiles and other semi-aquatic animals had invaded the beaches and begun establishing a base camp. However, they had underestimated the Empire's resistance: all the warships already at sea and even some in the ha
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Nuclear explosions in the sea
The nuclear force of the Empire could be summed up in three parts: the first, the most numerous, were the military missile bases from which all types of nuclear missiles were launched. The second, and less numerous, were the tactical nuclear bombs available to the Air Force: weapons that were small and did not cause much damage (by the standards of atomic bombs), easy to transport and to throw.Finally, the third force was nuclear submarines. These submarines were designed to be equipped with the best cloaking technology the Empire had been able to produce. They could move silently in the depths of the ocean and be invisible to radars and the heightened senses of sea creatures. Since they were basically walking launch pads, they carried some pretty powerful weapons.Most of the Empire's nuclear submarines, as soon as they received orders from Wafner, had begun preparing to bomb strategic targets that had been ordered to them by the high command. However, in every army
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army The beginning of the final battle
Apache watched yet another plane explode in the sky under the power of [Devastating roar]. Or maybe it was because of the weapons provided by the [Weapons system]. Or maybe one of his subordinates had chosen to be a kamikaze and dive into the enemy aircraft. God, who cared. There were too many things happening around him for him to pay attention to them all.Following Old Li's plan, the final battle had begun. While Mazu was busy cleaning up the sea, Blue and Eema defended the colony of Ares, Monica searched for Sobek, Rambo and Snock searched for nuclear bases, Al juggled diplomacy and Pierce prepared a strong defense on the border, along the famous trench line Buck, Carnopo, and Apaches were leading their armies into battle.The strategy was as simple as it was effective: Buck and Carnopo attacked from below and completely destroyed the camp, while Apache annihilated the air force and, once this was concluded, he would launch himself against the army on the ground an
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Sobek's return
In a mountain at least a hundred kilometers away from the battlefield there was a huge military base, hidden by several tons of rock that made it seem nothing more than a natural freak. Military bases like this were very common throughout the Empire. Their construction had begun following the Three Hundred Years War, as previous emperors were convinced that a second war would be inevitable in time. Apparently this prediction had turned out to be correct, with the difference that the war was not being fought against another nation, but against the rest of the fauna of the planet.The Empire had used these bases for the most diverse military projects; their existence was so secret that only a small group of people knew about them. It was not marked on any map, there were no documents to appeal to, and any information that emerged was broadcast on a private radio channel accessible only to the emperor himself. They were virtually invisible to the eyes of any other nation, and ap
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army The end of the final battle
When Sobek entered the battlefield, it was as if a meteor had just crashed into the ground. His [Devastating roar] was even more powerful than usual, making every single living thing within a radius of kilometers tremble, regardless of whether he was an enemy, an ally or even just neutral.Sobek had [Ultimate Mutation], so he was a giant among giants. He used his last ounce of rationality to pass the mutation on to other dinosaurs, and then charged like a train into the opposing army. Missiles, bombs and all kinds of devices were fired at him and exploded, damaging his armor in several parts, but this did not even slow him down. As far as the privates' bullets were concerned, they were like grains of sand thrown against a wall.The gigantic dinosaur advanced at least twenty paces every minute and tore apart anything in its path. Clawed, kicked, tailed, bitten, even headbutted: dozens and dozens of soldiers were torn apart by them every second.Sobek could have u

"Seriously? How did you do?"“In this century, you can't hide from technology. Wafner needs a way to keep in touch with his generals. His communications are heavily encrypted, but we managed to identify them”“Do you have the coordinates?”"No not yet. The communication scheme uses mnemonic files that modify the user's position through a morping program that…”“Speak less difficult”“Sigh. We will trace him in the next few minutes, but we need the line to remain constantly active”Jocelyne frowned. “Okay, I understand. Stay on the line,” she said, and then ran to the other heads of state. "To the! Hey Al!”Everyone turned to her, including the allosaurus in question. "What happens?"“RE/SYST has traced Wafner's communications” Jocelyne replied, and everyone let out a surprised and hopeful 'oooh'. Finding Wafner meant ending the threat of

Epilogue
It took Sobek a few moments before he realized he was back in the room where it all began. That room where time and space ceased to exist, and where everything and nothing seemed to have changed at the same time. He already knew where he had to go; walking through the infinitely large (or perhaps infinitely small) room, in a few minutes (or perhaps a few centuries, who knows) he reached the familiar armchair on which was seated a woman with white skin and light hair.God didn't even seem to move since she sent him to Eden. Even her expression didn't seem to have changed at all. She was still the same, beautiful and terrible at the same time, whose gaze was both magnetic and loving on him. “Welcome back, son,” she greeted him in her crystal clear voice.Sobek advanced on her. This time there wasn't an armchair waiting for him, but a large mattress wide enough to allow him to lie down. She lay back on it and gazed intently at God. Even now, after he'd grown i

Death of a legend
On the continent of Maakanar, near a river that was once a typical spinosaurus nesting place, something immense could be seen. A huge creature was lying on its belly, but nevertheless it was so tall that its dorsal sail towered over the surrounding masts.Sobek was now thirty-three years old. To say he had grown into a behemoth was an understatement: he now measured 150 meters from head to tail and reached 45.6 meters in height. Even without activating the mutation he was now larger than Godzilla: the gigantic atomic reptile was a tiny lizard compared to him. All kaiju would be small compared to him. Even King Ghidorah would have been forced to acknowledge its superiority.In the last five years he had hardly moved. After the death of his last loyalist he returned to his birthplace and settled there. He ate what was provided to him from the [Personal Manger] and drank the water from the river. Otherwise, he remained calm, warming himself in the sun or admiring the star

The last fight
After a few days Nefertiti settled at the lake together with her father and her last remaining uncle. With the help and indications of Sobek she built a comfortable nest and there she laid her egg.Thus began the brood. The female spinosaurus never moved from above her little egg, keeping it constantly warm. Sobek and Buck brought her food and water. When Nefertiti was hot, Sobek used her huge wing as a parasol and Buck fanned her with his tail. In the rare moments when it was cold, the two of her huddled to help her warm up.That routine went on for three months. Finally, at the end of the third month, a familiar clicking sound came from under Nefertiti's paws.The female spinosaurus reared up and looked down. A small crack was opening on the egg. With a smile she moved from above it. The crack widened more and more and finally a large piece of egg broke off, showing a lively green eye that stared intently at Nefertiti.“Hello, baby. I'm your mothe

The first true hunt
Time had passed again. Sobek couldn't even figure out how much time had actually passed now. One year? Two? Maybe three? He didn't know.After his retirement, Sobek had gone deep into the forest of Maakanar. It was hard for him to move his huge body through the trees and very often ended up destroying them: his passage was evident as a trail of uprooted trunks was always behind him. He had moved permanently to the lake where he had met Buck and where he had established his first army. And he hadn't gone there alone.Carnopo and Buck had joined him just a month after his departure. They, too, had decided they'd had enough and abandoned their roles entirely. After all, in the new world there was no longer a need for either an army commander or one of the shock legion. Now there was peace, and the old war veterans had no reason to try to find their place in their world. So they had decided to do what they had always done: follow their pack leader.The trio spent th

Passing to the next generation
Another year had passed. In Sobek's eyes, time seemed to have begun to flow more rapidly. The months and weeks all passed almost the same and in a flash the morning turned into evening.Humanity had continued its advance. By now, Aphrodites had been fully colonized. Whole cities had sprung up on it and millions of settlers had begun to live there. Davis had now reached more than a billion inhabitants and Hermes now owned thousands of mining establishments.Thanks to teleportation technology it was so advanced that traveling between planets was even easier than going from one city to another. Since energy and material consumption were now no longer a concern thanks to solar panels on Hermes and mining plants on asteroids, everyone had a portable teleportation device. By now, being hired to work a mine on an asteroid was no different than being hired to work at the local convenience store.Colonies on the moons of Leviathan and Behemoth had multiplied, providing e

More time, more changes. In just one year, many things had changed.Nefertiti had assumed control of the entire astrophysics division of the dinosaur pack, effectively acting as acting pack leader for them. After the first shared mission, she had begun to promote more policies of integration and union between humans and animals. She had facilitated interspecies interspace operations, sending animals and humans to work together in the new worlds to be colonized. Furthermore, there was still much to colonize, as human attention was slowly shifting beyond the outer Solar System to the dwarf planets and comets of the Oort Cloud.The work was not cheap and with it the possibilities of working together. With the Dyson Sphere nearing completion, energy was no longer an issue. After determining which moons to colonize, the Eden Union had begun an intensive mining program in the asteroids of the main belt in order to be able to build huge lenses to capture the sunlight and also

Path of the giant
One more year, more innovations. The more time passed, the more progress seemed to accelerate. It was like a speeding train that multiplied its speed every second: first slow, then faster and faster, until it turned into a giant projectile.Sobek knew that progress was bound to accelerate more and more, after all it was his nature. For each new discovery, countless doors open. And every door leads to other doors. This was the nature of progress. It was no coincidence that it took humanity less than two hundred years to go from horses to aircraft capable of leaving the orbit of their home planet.He recalled that on Earth, where he came from, progress had become so fast in the 21st century that it was enough to be born even a generation later or further back to find oneself in a completely different world. While in 1990 the main communication system was the satellite phone, in 2020 people used social networks for the most disparate things. While in 1990 movies were watc

Science is eternal
More time had passed. This time it was a year… or maybe a year and a half? I don't know. Not that it mattered much, actually.The world's attention to the inner solar system was gradually waning. Now that three planets had been terraformed, even if one of them still wasn't enough, and Hermes had become a stable colony that was continuously producing large panels of glass that joined in the orbit of the Sun to form the Dyson Sphere, the humanity was beginning to anticipate new challenges. From the inner solar system it was time to move to the outer solar system.Although some colony outposts were already present on some moons of Behemoth, they could not be defined as true colonies. However, now that energy consumption was no longer a problem thanks to the Dyson Sphere, which although not completed already released enormous amounts of energy, the Eden Union decided to start an exploration program of the entire outer solar system, or at least of the space between B

Giant of the skies
Two more years had passed. The advance of humanity towards the stars continued inexorably.The hypotheses of the scientists had proved to be correct: using a combination of gravity control technology and energy obtained from the Dyson sphere, although still incomplete, they had managed to accelerate the rotation of Aphrodites. The planet was slowly accelerating, though not too fast. There was generally talk of an hour each week. At this speed there was no risk of destroying the infrastructure already present on the planet. Yes two years, the rotation period had gone from 2082 hours to 1978 hours. Continuing at this rate, it was expected to reach 24 hours in 'just' another 38 years.Once this process was completed, the huge orbiting mirrors could finally be taken off. The day/night cycle would no longer be artificially determined and there would no longer be the risk that something would go wrong due to the impact of a micrometeorite. In addition, the accelerated rotati
