Chapter 253: I've Come For You All.
Emporium base 2999: NeuPort
23M personnel on standby
5M nonessential personnel
2.9k Visitors.
"Sir, are we sure he will attack a base this soon?" The head Captain of the 100th, Cecelia Kroft asked General Victor Flint.
"I'm sure, we need every base on high alert, this is coming from the upper echelon and our leader himself," Flint answered his second in command while sitting impatiently with his fingers tapping in synchrony as he stared through the screen of his ship.
"I'm telling you Kroft, the bastard will attack, I can feel it, his Majesty can feel it, everyone who knew Ikaris has agreed that a Godslayer bred by her hand is a monster worth taking seriously..."
Cecelia was going to sceptically ask another question but the alarms on her dashboard started going crazy as the comms from one of the close-by sectors started going off with thousands of SOS calls.
Emporium base 2990: Gris Nebula Sector*
Dwarf planet: Nekka
Population: 13M
Emporium soldier count: 13M.
The planet of soldiers was in a panic as giant comets tore through the skies destroying every major base before they could get a single ship from their fleet into the air, the planet groaned when it was completely covered in a great pink haze-like sentient cloud that rained concentrated beams of mana like magnified rays of sunlight the size of the Eiffel tower incinerating everything in their path.
"It's him!" Viktor arose from his seat and punched his dash leaving a hole as deep as his elbow. "What are you waiting for!?" He snapped and dragged his hand free of the hole. "The emporium is under attack, the empire is under the threat of that madman, let's go!" He snapped a second time and his pilot punched the calculations and started flying in 2999's direction. "How soon can we get there?"
"Half a day at full overclock, Sir," the captain answered and Viktor groaned in annoyance and closed his eyes. "Isn't there no way to go faster?"
"N-no, sir,"
"This thing isn't fast enough, that bastard is capable of disappearing from sensors if we can't keep up with him then he's gonna keep getting away!" Flint sucked in a breath and hissed.
"He's gonna keep attacking outposts, I don't think that this is something I alone can do, if he's in the Khalla-Nova Collective then we ought to consider spreading our resources and covering the outposts with extra manpower, my soldiers of the 100th are far more powerful in comparison, if he struggled with Jedrek then there's no way he can handle everyone else..." He theorised, but then closed his eyes and shook his head.
"No, he was able to keep up with me and escape from right under my thumb." Viktor sighed and took his seat again.
"Then, how are we supposed to stop him, sir?" Cecelia asked and he hummed and shook his head.
"I don't know."

Back on outpost 2990; Nekka, an entire half of the small planet was already on fire, the enemy had put up a fight, but with their attack coming out of nowhere and bypassing the defences thanks to Alpha they were like prey before two predators as Sol and Dina caused a literal apocalypse within the span of a few minutes with dina raking in thousands of experience points thanks to Alpha as she tried to level up.
[Master, I have found something quite peculiar,] Alpha appeared at Sol's side and gestured to a building that had been spared the destruction and Sol nodded and looked at the building as well.
"I know, I sensed them as soon as I arrived here," Sol descended and clasped his fists dragging his hand upwards and watching as an invisible force ripped the ceiling as well as several floors off the building and then dragged a man out of the debris, he was weighed by chains that had a slight blue-ish glow to them, but with a snap of his fingers, Sol destroyed the binds and landed before the man.
"Who are you?" The man asked while Sol stared at his white glowing hair and his inverted black and white eyes, he was full of gratitude as he stood before Sol rubbing his neck, wrists and ankles and staring at him, this was the first living Godslayer other than himself that he had found, the man was being held captive.
The funniest part was that according to Alpha and Sol's acute senses, this was the only one there.
Aside from the living corpses in the ships, the entire planet of encampments had only one prisoner.
The man was shredded, he had wounds that weren't healing, his hair was missing in some parts and his skin was full of cuts and burns, the clothes on his back barely hung on to him at all, it was clear he was a victim of severe torture, after all, it was a war, and he was a prisoner of war.
"What are you?" The Godslayer asked another question, watching Dina zip above their heads being chased by several dozen warriors and then spin and dismantle their formation using [inversion and causing them to crash into each other before melting them all away with [Pulsar].
"I have never seen a being who looks like you do, and I have never seen humans with the power of Godslayers either," he looked at Dina again. " How is she so powerful, what the blazes?" He shielded his face and flinched when Dina crash-landed next to Sol and whipped her hair behind her dramatically.
"The captains are coming, Master," She gestured to the far side and Sol nodded and extended his hand to her and his other hand to the Godslayer before him.
"Be careful, if he does anything to my collective while I'm busy you have my permission to kill him, if he even breathes funny, turn him into minced body parts, and incinerate them," Sol instructed her and then looked at the Godslayer and gave him a serious glare. "Stay put and don't make me regret saving you I'll answer whatever I can after I've dealt with the others here."
"U-understood!" The man nodded furiously reaching out for Sol's hand and then screaming in shock when he was whisked away to an alternate space where the air was so rich with power it felt like he would suffocate from overexposure, the skies were the bluest he had ever seen and the grass greener than any flora he'd ever laid his feet upon.
"Did I already die and end up in heaven? He asked when a great golden structure lay before him, he couldn't see the ends from either left or right and it seemed to stretch on forever into the sky. "What is this great thing?" He asked again reaching his hand into the air and causing a small extension of his power to reach from his fingers.
"Stay where you are, Master said don't move."
Dina sternly warned him and waved her hands fusing the matter around them and creating a chair beneath his ass as a force pushed him in it to sit.
"You are beautiful, but you are not very friendly, are you?" The Godslayer asked Dina but she remained silent as she folded her legs and began floating with her side turned to him, he watched her almost in a trance, her eyes barely twitching, he lips when she bit them, he watched her glowing hair wave around her head and her short cloak float along with her. "Wow...
You are among the most blessed and beautiful beings I have ever-"
"Shut up!" Dina clenched her jaws and glared at him.
"Ah- right, my apologies... Lady..." He tried getting a name out of her but she only glared at him again causing him to do the "zip it" gesture and go quiet.
"What is it?" One man spoke, he was a captain but unlike the ones that Sol had met before this one responded in the midst of an emergency, he didn't even get the time to equip his nano-suit, several more were like this, but most of them were fully equipped and ready for the fight, not that it even mattered, while the Khalla-Nova Collective did reduce Sol's power, he was not at any kind of disadvantage, he had an entire collective inside of him, endless power growing infinitely, all he needed to do was summon it, he waited patiently for the entire response units to arrive, he watched them cloud the skies and land around him with their numbers as they tried to intimidate him.
"Creature, surrender yourself to the emporium and face your crime-"

"Creature...?" Sol looked at himself and then at the captain who had spoken. "All I have are horns, are you so dense that you truly don't recognise any other lifeform than yourself, stupid Emporium filth?" He asked and the man flinched and ground his teeth.
"It speaks, and fluently too, where did this monster come from?" Another Captain held her mouth. "It is also strong, far too strong-"
"Ugh," Sol closed his eyes and ran his fingers across the smoothly broken horns and then turned his emerald eyes towards the army facing him. "Idiots," He commented as his black hair flashed several times and became a glowing white and rings appeared before and behind him.
"Glowing rings on his chest and back, I-It's him!" A Vice-Captain snapped and drew a blade from her sheath. "The Godslayer that killed off the 3795th!"
"That's a better reaction," Sol nodded.
"Make sure you get my good angle I want to make an impression," He summoned his hammer and snapped it in two, revealing it to be two large battle axes.
"I'm not a part of the rebellion, I've no interest in your politics; my name is Sol Vestic, and I've come for you all."
