Chapter 138 The Spirits Of An Imprisoned Race

"You disrespectful little monster, Tiamat behold! I shall strike down this world and return your Astral body to you, Mother Tiamat!" Calishora, the red Impact Dragon, screamed as she rushed forward at Melody, but Gaia charged in.

Her Hydra heads snapped at the Dragon, but Calishora spun fast, her tail connecting with Gaia. An explosion blew the heads off, but the body kept moving forward, and vines burst forth to try and take the creature down.

Calishora ignored the roots, then burned off her body before they could get a good grip. Melody tried to slash at the Dragon's face, but Calishora slammed her head into Melody, and her massive body was blown back into the trees.

"You are children in the face of a God, blessed by the Astral Mother, Tiamat!" Calishora screamed and then whirled on Gaia, snapping onto her body and tossing the massive green form into the air; then she roared, "Cosmic Breath!"

Large tree hands grew up from the ground as Calishora raised her head and breathed deeply. The arms grabbed at her, trying to clamp down slowly on her mouth.

The Dragon cared not. These creatures would pay for their insolence!

"Glacial Ice Age!" Timala screamed as the hands clamped down on the Dragon's mouth.

Calishora started to try to break free, but she was instantly frozen and unable to move, but this wouldn't stop her. Calishora was the daughter of the Mightiest being ever to exist, Tiamat, and nothing could stop her.

The Dragon flexed and then released a massive amount of energy, and the hands and ice were blown off her, but Beltzer zipped by her head as Calishora broke free.

"Get the heart!" Beltzer yelled at Melody as his chain wrapped around the base of the Dragon's neck and tail.

Calishora was forced to release the Cosmic Breath into the air, completely missing the body she had tossed up. The Dragon was getting more than just frustrated at this point, but this weakling AI had her in a position she couldn't break.

Melody was glowing red with her armor looking like lava covering her gorilla body as she ran at the Dragon. She closed the distance and slashed at the chest, but her claws melted before she even cut a foot into the Dragon.

Slashing and regrowing claws, Melody attacked without abandon, but Calishora regenerated faster than Melody could affect.

"Hurry up! I am losing my grip!" Beltzer called, but Melody was giving it everything that she had.

"It's not working!" Melody roared and then tried to bite into the neck of the Dragon, but that was a bad idea.

Melody was blown back, and the explosion gave Calishora more power, and she released it on the chains.

Beltzer was tossed off the Dragon, and Calishora whirled on the creature making the ice, but she was on the other side of a growing ice wall.

"Everything you do means nothing; your destruction is as sure as my mother's position as the ruler of all!" Calishora screamed and tried to charge the wall.

Above the Dragon, Gaia had morphed the Hydra body into a giant version of a fabled God-killing weapon. Her body became the Longinus Spear from Neon Genesis Evangelion that Sofia had shown her, and she was aimed into the back of the Dragon.

[Fun fact: the Longinus Spear was said to be the weapon used to stab and kill God's son, Jesus. Others say it was a spear created from one of the spikes that nail him to the cross.]

"Faster!" Timala screamed at Diamo, who was coating the outside of her ice dome with crystal, as Gaia hurtled at Calishora.

"I am going as fast as I can! Creating crystals is not something fast!" Diamo yelled as he forced his Diamond System to work faster.

"Cinti, support Diamo!" Timala shouted, and a tanned-skinned woman stepped from behind her and placed her hand on Diamo's back.

Name: Cinti

Height: 5'6

Hair: Black, shoulder length

Race: AI/Human

System: Hands-On System (Assistant System)

Abilities: Increase the power of any other System the Host has their hands on.

"There we go!" Diamo cheered as the crystal shot up.

That was the moment of impact, but the spear couldn't pierce the Impact shield. The Longinus Spear was annihilated as the energy was forced straight up because even the ground was crystal.

The crystal wall held, but Gaia was forced back into her body that was far away underground.

Beltzer and Melody came around the partial dome to meet Timala, Diamo, and Cinti.

"What are we going to do?!" Timala shouted up at the glowing gorilla, but Melody just shrugged.

"I can't do any damage, and even with your freezing, we have no effect on this creature!" Melody complained.

[We have to keep fighting! I am on my way with every super clone I can find and Kartos. We don't have to defeat her; we just have to hold out until Daniel gets here!]

"Sorry, Gaia! Looks like these guys are a little stronger than I had thought! Everyone fall back!" Daniel said after slamming down on the ground behind the group.

----

I had been scanning the situation, but the energy output coming off that Dragon was out of this world. With still thirty minutes left before I would come in contact with the planet, but it was to long.

"Are you going to help them?" Octavia asked, and I nodded.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"I wanted to let them do this alone to work together, but this creature is far too strong, and so is the other one. I will have no problem taking them down when I get here, but I don't think that anyone will survive that long, I said, and then called out to Brad Pitt, who I knew was still in my head. "Omega, it's time to stop hiding and avoiding me."

[How long have you known?]

'Don't play dumb with me; you know just as well as I do that I knew you never left my head, but I also knew that you could no longer affect me.'

[How?! Not even I knew that! I had assumed that I could take control of you if needed!]

'No, but we don't have time for this. You and I are going down to take that Astral Bitch!'

I closed my eyes, and Mr. Tree ripped my consciousness out of my body and slammed me into Kratos, who was in a room alone. I opened my eyes, and there was a clear path out.

I didn't waste any time and started to run up the angled path.

[Do you think you can defeat Calishora with a level two body?!]

"Level two? I guess that is a bit lacking," I said, stopping for a moment.

[What are you stopping for?!]

"Zip it for a minute," I growled and put my hand on the tree tunnel wall, connecting with it. "Sorry, friend, but I need you to give me some power. I will return it when I am finished."

Mr. Tree didn't hesitate, and a surge of power hit me like a million volts, but my body didn't flinch. I let the power fill me, and System messages started to fly by as the Max Power System leveled up.

Each one of the AI was not AI; they were the Spirit of planets that had been harvested of all their systeminium. Each of the systems created was the result of Spirit being connected to a system, which was why they couldn't be destroyed.

The moment that Start Child touched me, I knew things.

The Ataria were the race that Omega was delivered to. They did the same as Omega and the others had been doing, but they used the Spirits as weapons.

They constantly fought among each other until Star Child delivered them Omega. He commandeer the Spirits that had been locked into the weapons they designed with systeminium and then changed how the Ataria fought.

Spirits were the same race as Star Child and once were the rulers of all universes. The Star Child was the one to blame for all of this, but he had spent the last fifty-two billion years trying to fix his mistake.

[Level 5 Reached!]

[Max Power System gains Sub Class]

[1. Direction Power| 2. Orbital Power| 3. Reactive Power]

"I never got this choice with my System," I said with a frown.

[You System isn't like The other Systems. All systems go through Sub Class switches, allowing for more versatility than just the standard System abilities. The systems give different choices every time you reach level five, even if you were using the same system. This is because they adapt to their environment and display choices that would be beneficial.]

I selected the third choice, and another message popped up.

[Max Reactive Power System Activated!]

"That makes sense, but I am still trying to wrap my head around you being like Gaia," I said, taking my hand off the wall.

[Like you said, that is a story for another time, but I can't tell you where I am from. I have no memory of that.]

"I know where you are from, but I am not allowed to tell you. There is a... reason for that, albeit not a very good one, but I somewhat understand why he is attached to you," I explained as I started to run out of the tree.

[Wait, you know where I come from?! Tell me! I have been looking for that answer for the last seven million years!]

"Couldn't even if I wanted to, which I don't. Get your head in the game, and get ready to help me out. I am not in my normal body, so I can split my mind, but I am giving you the power he took from you. Don't make me regret this!" I growled, and Mr. Tree picked me up and hucked me.
