Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

I was no longer using my booster; I was going more than fast enough as I drifted through space. The Hiveship was seven hundred kilometers from the surface now, but I was only five minutes from contact now.

"Remember, we will lose all contact with you, so you will have no way of asking us anything. I wish we could have sent someone with you, but no one but you can do this," Sofia said, and I nodded.

"Just concentrate on what you have to do. I will be as fast as I can, so you all just stay safe and only defend. I don't want anyone going out alone, that is an order, and you will make sure of you, right, Hermosa?" I asked, and Sofia giggled.

"That is cute, but I would have listened without the order. I agree that everyone needs to stay within the city limit. Mr. Tree will handle the outer area. Katie is setting up traps with Marley right now. Melody is a forty-foot-tall grizzly that is being fitted with armor by Firaga. The Paw Patrol is starting to look pretty deadly as well,' Sofia said and then looked at the time. "One minute, Papi! Go get them, and I love you so much!"

The screen disappeared, and I smiled.

I wanted the girls to be safe, but I also wanted to see Melody tear it up as a giant armored bear. The girl should be fine, and I need to concentrate on what I was doing.

[40 seconds]

I popped my shell, and my boots kicked back in gear, pointing myself at the giant ship that looked more like a mini planet. My System told me it was three hundred feet tall and the same width.

I focused on Superman and pulled my fist back as my heat blasted out of my body to fight off the cold. I activate Word Incarnate, feeling the sun supercharging me, and I punch forward.

The action ripped me forward faster than I could have imagined, and I activated my scan, trying to get everything I could in the last few seconds. Then I crashed into the side of the ship, and I only went through two walls, and then was almost sucked back out.

Luckily, the walls were repairing themselves, but that wasn't good. That would mean it would be easy to break through the walls now that I had lost all my speed.

I still had my Saitama Power if needed, but I wanted to hold off. There was also the fact that there wasn't a single light anywhere, but there was gravity.

I went on to see the room I was in, but it was just an empty room. There was a door, and I walked over to it, opening it out as my map slowly came online.

I had hit the side, but I had a good jog to get to the area where the Queen was hiding. I was surprised that there were no alarms, but then there weren't any lights. If there were only the Guards and the Hive Queen, they wouldn't need anything like food, light, or anything.

I looked through my scans quickly and noticed that the ship was made of systeminium, which was interesting. I was more than curious to see how this place would affect my next Growth Spurt, but I needed to survive till then and scan everything.

The problem was that they were all empty as I moved through the first almost thirty rooms. In the thirtieth room, there was a chair, but then it was back to nothing.

I stopped and sat down in the center of a small room that I found. I had expected there to be Nanobots attacking me already, but the place was deadly quiet.

I stretched out my roots, tapping into the walls with Sofia's power, learning more about the systeminium. The Metal could be controlled, and its shape changed at will, but the controller was changing the layout on me.

My map just became useless as I scanned over the small area around the room I was in, and there shouldn't be any rooms here, just halls. I would have to do this another way, pushing three Great Tree seeds out of my palms.

I dropped them down, the ship trembled, and the seeds burst, proliferating. I gave them a bit of an adjustment beforehand, and they contain some systeminium to make them stronger here.

The trees grew in different directions, smashing the walls that tried to reform, and I started running to the one heading to the center. Then the Tree burst into a massive football stadium, and I tossed out five more great tree seeds.

The first went into the middle, and the other four were spread among the corners, but I was starting to get confused. There hadn't been a single sign of defense; even with the trees growing here, no Nanobots showed up, but then I heard something.

"Why are you here?"

The voice came from everywhere, like a halo of sounds coming from every angle at once.

"Do you really have to ask? I need to bring this ship back to earth."

"Where is Orphus? I do not sense an AI with you."

"Orphus is in his own body, and he is living a normal life, for the most part. He was the one that helped us track you," I called out, walking over to the tree in the center that opened up for me with a regeneration pool that I walked into with a long sigh.

I had been dying for this before I got launched into the air, but now I was in the water. It was a bit different than usual, and according to my System, I was absorbing Systeminium slowly.

"How is that possible?! You can not take an AI out of the host!"

"Have you not been paying any attention to what has been happening? I have already killed or disabled over forty of your kind. I also have taken many of them hostage, or something like that. I haven't really decided what to do, but if they died in these bodies, that would be it," I explained, and there was a long pause, so I scanned the area I was in, but I still needed more information, it seemed.

No bar told me how close I was to my next Growth Spurt, so I just had to keep scanning, but this bath came first. I needed a good soak to be ready for when the Hive Queen decided I was no longer interesting to talk to.

"I do not concern myself with the fools and their games. I am the one that controls the ship. That is what I was created for. Why would you want to bring the ships to your planet? This has never happened before, so I would like to understand how you are aboard my ship after four days."

"Well, I didn't plan on getting here this fast, but we just happened to find your ship the first time we tried to look. I was flung up here, and now I want to bring you down to my planet, so I can keep you from destroying any more planets," I said, but I was starting to feel weird.

[Warning, System Adaptation Active, Host has reached Level 2 and must undergo drastic evolution. The host will now enter sleep mode.]

Before I could even react to the message, I was pushed out of my body. I hung suspended over my body, but I was nothing, with no form.

Then my body started twitching, and I was pulled into another place.

"Since you are out of your body, I can not touch you as you are now. Let us talk here since you are connecting with me."

I was so confused about what was going on. I was in a room with an amorphous form that changed from liquid to spikes.

Something was cold about it, but I couldn't put my finger on what made me think that.

"What do you mean I am connecting with you? Why have you not attacked me yet?" I asked in confusion.

"You would be dead already. I know the System that you are using, and it is the strongest, next to my own, but I am ancient, and you are but a twinkle. I have never received a challenger in seven million years, so forgive me if I am curious. I am not like the others; I was created after in their image, but meant to control this ship and defend it only."

"So then you are giving me a chance to get stronger, so I have a chance to fight you?" I asked.

"Yes, I am intrigued by you. I can sense that you have already bonded with the planet, and now you are here and trying to take control of the ship from me. You will stop seven million years of death and destruction without purpose if you succeed. I cannot let you take my ship without a fight because that will show me what manner of creature you are and if you are worthy. I will give you the power to rid your world, but this trial will be like nothing you have ever faced."

"I am fighting for my planet, and if I die, it's all over for everyone I love and care about, so I will be holding nothing back. Nothing will stop me from getting this ship back to help my family, that is being descended on as we speak! I will charge now, but I will not waste time when I get out." I declared.

"Don't run before you walk."
