Sobek stared in shock at the robotic monstrosity in front of him. In his old world, that could have been considered nothing more than science fiction. Instead, in that world they had come to build it. He tried to yell, 'What does this mean!?', but no sound came out of his mouth.
The huge robot seemed to laugh. "You forgot? There is no air here. You can't use your voice” he said. “In case you haven't noticed, we are communicating using the same psychic waves you use to communicate with your subordinates”
Evidently he was referring to the [Contract's] mind-sharing ability. Sobek decided to follow his advice. “Why can't I communicate with my companions? And why can't I teleport?”
"A simple block" the robot replied, then pointed to a point in the distance where the structure that Sobek had seen earlier was located. “About ten kilometers away from us right now there are eight special devices that form a perfect circle within which
The two monsters clashed in a perfect dance of strikes, claws, tails, bites and even headbutts. Clouds of lunar dust rose with their every movement and if an atmosphere had been present probably every time the two touched each other they would have generated shock waves so powerful as to destroy everything in the surroundings.The robot was bigger, but it was slower. Sobek was smaller, but he was faster. This allowed the spinosaurus to overcome the mechanical monster's defense and strike it with its claws. In response, the blow left not a single scratch on the robot's body."Stupid! Did you think it would be that easy?” Wafner exclaimed as the robot kicked Sobek away. “This is the ultimate weapon, created to defeat you!”Sobek looked at his paw. His claws were shaking slightly from the force of the blow. “What is that robot made of?” he growled.“Of ordinary plastic. My scientists would have preferred to use titanium, b
Sobek's body shrunk as he deactivated [Ultimate Mutation]; thanks to this, his head slipped off the robot's foot and the dinosaur was free again. Within seconds, a new arm replaced the severed one, the dorsal sail repaired itself, and all wounds vanished. The spinosaurus picked up his [Personal weapon] again.Wafner watched as he tried unsuccessfully to restart the robot, which still didn't move an inch. "What have you done?""Easy. You said this was a video game for you, right?” Sobek said. “Well, it was for me too. With the difference that I played two games instead of one"“What… what are you saying?”"Very simple. You must know that I can use up to three mutations at the same time… but so far, to face you, I have only used two. Why?"Wafner froze as he was struck by the revelation. “Did you do something to the robot!?”"Of course yes! I could never have won in a one-on-one battle against
For a second, a mere instant, nothing happened; then, in the lunar sky, space warped and time seemed to stand still. A great dark sphere appeared, an immense void that devoured even the light of the Sun.A black hole had just appeared in the lunar sky.In an instant, the Moon's gravity disappeared. Sobek felt himself being pulled towards the dark sphere as everything around him began to rise and fall towards the black hole. The spinosaurus knew he had to act quickly, or he would be sucked up.[Selected Mutation: Gamma Mutation][Selected Mutation: Atomic Mutation][Selected Mutation: Supreme Mutation]His body swelled again, his muscles swelled and his veins glowed green. Using all of his strength to keep himself on the ground, he began to run. As he ran, he spat an atomic beam at the black hole.The only way to overcome a black hole's gravity was to counter it with speed. By running parallel to it using the more powerful muscles prov
Wafner ripped the control interface from his head. The signal had been lost after the robot had been devoured by the black hole, but the emperor was more than sure that Sobek had gotten away with it. "Damn!" he roared. "How? How is it possible!?"He couldn't believe it. He had calculated everything, examined every logical alternative. He had made his scientists build the supreme weapon of destruction, created and studied specifically to kill that bastard dinosaur. How could it have ended like this?A black hole! A disgusting black hole! How could he imagine that? How could anyone guess that? The son of a bitch had kept his best attack under wraps so far!He was furious to say the least. In anger, he punched the console. The delicate hardware broke, but so did his knuckles.“Your Imperial Majesty!” one of his guards exclaimed. “Please calm down! You can't get hurt!"“Shut up, idiot!” Wafner roared. “That bastard i
"Nero! We have a problem!"Alycia was busy decrypting a database when another RE/SYST member called her. "What happens?"“The Empire just started an absolute anti-hack program! They are denying us access!” that person exclaimed.Alycia looked at the various computers turned on in front of her. There were hundreds and hundreds of pieces of data constantly scrolling across the screens, and new ones were appearing every second. Alycia knew this was a veritable computer block being built around the Empire's server like armor.“If they've activated it now, something must be happening” she murmured. “Try to overcome the computer blockage! Use all the precautions we have taken to date! Immediately lock all nuclear launch codes!”RE/SYST had prepared for a defense by the Empire's computer network: during those months, they had established numerous backdoors that allowed them to access the main server of the military base
As soon as General Dorn received the all clear message from the emperor, he immediately knew what to do. He immediately rang the muster and within minutes all the soldiers of that underground base gathered in the same room.These soldiers were the elite of the elite. They were warriors trained and indoctrinated in the harshest and most brutal ways. Fierce, ruthless, intelligent and with an absolute loyalty to the Empire. If the emperor had asked them to kill themselves, they would have done so without hesitation.These soldiers were like diamonds. Extremely rare and difficult to make and above all to maintain. Therefore, there were no more than ten thousand in the entire imperial army. Of these ten thousand, however, only five hundred had been selected for the task ahead, as they had demonstrated quicker adaptability and speed of thought.These soldiers were in fact the ones who were supposed to go to Davis and conquer the colony. Since this colony was not parti
Living 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
