The Devouring Menace - 031
🕑 Added 2023-11-06 16:00:06 +0000 UTCYou know what? I am fucked.
Humanity was fucked.
Everyone was fucked.
There was a larger threat beyond the boom tube or let's just call it dimensional gate to fit the Korean stereotypical dungeon setting.
I could sense them. There were many. So many.
More menacing. More terrifying.
My bestial instincts couldn't lie.
When had the Pacific Rim Universe ever been dangerous beyond the Kaiju and the masterminds behind it all - The Precursors, I thought with slight apprehension.
Don't tell me Lord Darkseid or Steppenwolf or some intergalactic conqueror is preparing to land on Earth?!
'I better not jinx it. Whatever will come will come. I can only wait for their arrival… wait for their arrival… no, I will definitely not wait for them to exit the warp gate!' It was better to be resolute and decisive.
I immediately charged up my energy breath attack and aimed it at the possible dimensional gate.
A super hot red beam, made up of power capable of devastating a planet, cut through the air and space before it destroyed the dimensional gate - destabilizing it and eventually collapsing it into oblivion.
A live feed from multiple news channels recorded everything that was happening and broadcast to almost all parts of the world.
It was hot news that was gonna take the world by storm.
Even in a dire crisis, you will be surprised by how most humans would try to seek fame and recognition on social media.
I couldn't decipher the messages but the rate at which I could sense the radio waves being transmitted was unusually high.
"Tsk."
Their response was also damn slow to world-threatening emergencies.
I had a feeling, no, I knew the dimensional gate definitely had something to do with me.
"I'd wager my money on that Overseer Bitch." Well, I could be wrong but she was my prime suspect.
My suspicions had to go somewhere, okay?
She was the only being I had communicated with and our conversation hadn't exactly gone smoothly.
She was a control freak and I had to break up with her, pfft. And the current situation made me think that I was still under her control…somehow.
Whelp, another dimensional gate formed in another place almost instantly.
Then another one.
Another one.
Then, another fucking addition.
The fuckers on the other side were probably playing with me. They were probably trying to irk me. Laughing their asses in front of my face.
And this time round, they seemed to have learned their lesson as whatever or whoever was on the other side began rolling out in droves, and boy, wasn't I taken by surprise.
"Those things… masaka!" My eyes widened involuntarily.
The extraterrestrial invaders looked like the Tao Tei from "The Great Wall" movie.
They were ugly, their features not derailing much from the original except for the wings on their sides.
They were small fries to the current me but the problem was… they were far too many that it seemed forced.
Millions?
Billions?
Trillions?
I couldn't do the math even with [Accelerated Thought Processing] and [Multi-mind]. The math just couldn't do itself.
"Millions are going to die," I sighed in pity. Yes, pity. Pity for the inevitable deaths of the not-so-innocent humans.
Heck, even those words felt like an understatement coming off my mouth.
The problem was: I didn't know if those gates were only limited to Sydney.
The four in Sydney were already despairing enough.
Some of those Tao Tei variants rushed toward the human populace with the intent of consuming blood and flesh.
I was an empath when it came to these types of matters.
Well, most of them rushed toward me since I was super large, and largeness equated to a lot of food. I probably looked like a walking meat factory in their eyes.
The whole protein industry, If that makes any sense.
"You all gonna get burned. Incinerated." I grinned as I opened my mouth wide and sent a big welcome via [Deep Star Plasma Beam] that turned millions into ashes instantly.
But that wasn't enough and I was forced to attack once again, eliminating billions with more firepower.
I was soon going to run out of juice if those little fuckers continued increasing in number.
Was this what they called infinity?
I could anticipate but couldn't stop them from nearing my large form.
"Now how are you lot supposed to reach me when a field exists between us?" I grinned mockingly at the billions of these abominable creatures trying to claw and bite through my Telekinetic field.
They surrounded me and with each passing second, their numbers continued to pile.
I couldn't see east or west, south or north - I was omnidirectionally being annoyed to death by some little twerps from whatever hellhole they originated from.
There was no light but the annoying screeching sounds from the Tao Tie still remained.
I had a plan in mind as I flew higher and higher intending to leave the Earth's atmosphere.
But before that, I copied the unique sound frequencies of these creatures and released a screech to attract all of their attention.
"Come to Papa all of you!" I howled before accessing the form that I had never had to use before.
Since I was currently in the sky, there was no need to hold back.
[Burning Lightning Hell Mode]
My whole body began to turn into a mini sun radiating heat that was beyond the temperatures of the sun's core.
Red lightning constantly crackled across my skin.
The activation of the [Burning Lightning Hell Mode] had its disadvantage as it inadvertently negated the Telekinetic field around me.
This made those bastards try to take a bite of my meat but they sadly got burned.
"Go to hell!" With those words, I immediately let go of the deep star thermonuclear pulse that burst forth like a existence erasing kaleidoscopic bubble.
BOOM!
BOOM!
Wherever the pulse passed, every Tao Tei was turned into nullity.
Zillions were erased and the despairing number seemed to dwindle.
I was low on 'MP' - basically I only had one chance, one pulse before I went into deficiency.
Those Tao Tie variants continued to overwhelm me and since I was without the Telekinetic field, several of them managed to bite me silly.
It was darn painful since they were nearly fucking endless!
"Come and get it!"
I released my last thermonuclear pulse with all of my energy that I basically became a supernova in a second.
All of them and their gates were terminated eternally and the resultant magnetic fields from my pulse affected the Earth's rotation - causing it to slowly go in reverse.
I didn't know of the consequences that meant.
I briefly caught a glimpse of a crumbling world as my debilitated form listlessly gravitated toward the ocean from space like a burning meteor.
