2024-10-29 19:42:56In the following days the size of the herd increased enormously.
As Sobek had predicted during the early days none of the dinosaurs had brought great results: most of them did not know how to move. But they quickly learned to cooperate and more and more packs submitted to them, consequently increasing the strength of Sobek's army more and more.
In nature, a herd could not become too large a force because it needed food supplies. But since Sobek had eliminated these problems and had turned to multi-ethnicity, then the herd could only grow. And with ever stronger dinosaurs joining it, the enemy packs that numbered fewer individuals could only yield to their advance.
During the first two days, his underlings had barely been able to recruit about fifty other dinosaurs. But since they learned quickly in a single week, the number of individuals in the pack had exceeded a thousand. Sobek had had to fill in [Contracts] all the time and probably the work would only get w

Sobek bit his tongue. "Let's go to a more secluded place" he whispered. The carnotaur didn't object.The two walked for a while in the forest, away from the rest of the pack. Neither of them said a word all the way. Without Carnopo being able to know, Sobek opened his [Contract] and always kept it under control: at the first hint of betrayal, he would have been able to react in advance.Eventually they came to an area not far from the lake, completely surrounded by trees that obscured the view from the outside. Sobek stopped and turned to look at Carnopo.To a human eye the carnotaur would have seemed calm, but Sobek's senses were much sharper. He could feel the fear in the air and the tension on the body of his interlocutor. "Do you want to kill me?" Carnopo asked seriously.Indeed, the area had all the appearence of a crime scene: secluded, inconspicuous, where no one could see or hear them. If Sobek had wanted to 'silence' Carnopo he could have easily

Sarah was in her office working on the latest data Alan had sent her when suddenly her cell phone rang. She looked at the name on the screen and was surprised to read 'Dr. Sidney Burke'."Who is at the phone, honey?" asked Ian, who was obviously there with her, who looking at her face was a little concerned. "Trouble?""No, no. She's just the person I sent the spinosaurus' scale to," Sarah replied. "I just didn't expect a call so soon..."After the emergency in Flagard City ended, Sarah followed Alan's advice and sent the spinosaurus skin samples to a chemistry expert, Dr. Burke. She was an old acquaintance of Alan and Ian and was considered quite good at both chemistry and biology, so perfect for her role. Sarah hoped she could help her solve the mystery of the spinosaurus' tough skin, but Dr. Burke still asked her for some time to run some tests.'Some time' in scientists' parlance meant between six months and three years, since they had to make measure

When the two dinosaurs returned to the lake, evening was already falling, but there was still time. Sobek led Carnopo along the mountainside where the Neanderthal village was located. Even though he had never followed them and had never seen their city, Sobek had memorized the smell of that girl who had knelt before him begging him to spare her and her companions' lives. From what she understood, she saw him as a deity. Following her scent he quickly tracked down the city surrounded by the wooden palisade. At 10.5 meters high, Sobek could easily look across the wall, but the same could not be said of Carnopo. So the two looked for an elevated place. Anyway, with [Ambush], no one could see them. Eventually they climbed a slightly higher hill. They both had good eyesight, so it was enough. Sobek discovered that the Neanderthal city was exactly as he had imagined it: simple, ancient, very similar to the Sumerian or pre-Columbian civilizations. He didn't mind the style at all. "Do you

"Pack leader!" Buck exclaimed as soon as he saw him. "I have completed the task entrusted to me""Well done, my friend. I am pleased" Sobek answered observing the tyrannosaurs. He was satisfied: of all dinosaurs, tyrannosaurs were some of the most dangerous ones, so having a group on his side was important.The newcomers looked intimidated. How to blame them: Sobek was almost three times their length and almost twice their height. A single paw from him would have been enough to kill one of them. Before their arrival mny of them had doubts about Sobek's legitimacy as pack leader, even if Buck say so. After all, it was hard for them to believe that there could be an animal stronger than a T-Rex. In their view, Sobek must have been a dinosaur only slightly more powerful than Buck: strong, but not so strong as to be considered invincible. But now they realized how wrong their thinking was. Sobek towered over them like a house, and every single inch of his body, from his ra
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Extinction
For a dinosaur, the basic rule was survival. So if a danger came knocking on its door there were only two options: fight or escape. Surrender wasn't even contemplated, because it would have meant being eaten.That is why Buck had no doubt that he needed to go to war. Sobek had shown him what was happening and assured him that the humans would never stop. Escaping was therefore not an option, which left only fighting.Buck trusted Sobek. If he had said to go to war, he would have done it. However, he was also afraid. Sobek had repeatedly warned him about humans and now he found that concern was well founded. Was it really possible to fight against such creatures? The instinct of self-preservation clashed strongly with the reason that instead reaffirmed the need to face them.Suddenly Sobek spoke. "You know, despite my powers and my strength, I will never have the greatest of treasures"Carnopo and Buck were quite confused by those words. They remained sile
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Preparations for the war
After that conversation, Sobek ordered his five companions to not say anything to the other dinosaurs, partly because he didn't want to create panic, partly because it was important that the image of the strong leader wasn't affected. None of the others had any objections: they all saw the importance of keeping silence until the preparations were completed.Now the relationship between the five was very different. Sobek hadn't just made them trust him; he had created a much stronger bond. It wasn't friendship: such a thing wasn't admissible in the hierarchy of the pack. But it was undoubtedly something strong, which united them in the common cause.From that day on, things changed a lot.Carnopo had taken control of the recruiting dinosaurs backed by Al. The two together had begun to coordinate the search for new members of the pack making it faster and more efficient. Now that they understood the challenge awaited them in the future, they both knew it was imper

The quetzalcoatlus, whom Sobek had chosen to name Apache in honor of the famous American military helicopter, maintained his word. From the first day of his departure countless pterosaurs began to arrive at the lake.Sobek had sent Apache to recruit mostly giant-sized flying reptiles, but the quetzalcoatlus hadn't disdained recruiting all the other pterosaurs it encountered as well. So every day Sobek saw pteranodon, dimorphodon, tropeognathus, ornitocheirus, tapejara, aerotitan, batrachognathus, anurognathus and countless other species arriving. And with so many pterosaurs came even more dinosaurs: by now Sobek could count more than thirty thousand creatures under him. The rate at which the herd increased in size accelerated every day, and Sobek couldn't help but be pleased with that.As for the giant flying reptiles, Sobek had to wait a while for that. However, some of them soon made their appearance. The first to arrive was an Arambourgiania, about three days after

"If you'll continue like that, you will consume it with your eyes"Neytiri turned her head and saw her teacher Mo'at enter the door. She jumped to her feet: as an apprentice she should have welcomed her teacher with honor. "Forgive me, master, I was...""... lost in your thoughts, I know. You are lost in your thoughts every day now". Mo'at smiled. "Far from me to criticize your devotion, but you shouldn't let you get distracted by material things. Honoring the entities that rule this world is important, but so are your obligations. You are my apprentice and as such you have homework. You can't stay all the day staring at that tapestry"Neytiri could not help but bow her head blushing like a child scolded by her mother. She glanced out of the corner of her eye at what Mo'at was pointing to: it was a canvas featuring the image of a giant reptile with a sail.After returning from her journey out of the city with the khel'valarts, Neytiri devoted her body and

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
