Chapter 1260 Cap 1258: My will is stronger! Part 1  Pov Nicole's:

"Group 23, 3 more Tentacles have appeared in zone C-53, keep them busy before the antibodies start coming out." (I)

"Group 15, hundreds of mutated Bugs are heading your way, eliminate them with your last Magic Crystal." (I)

"Group 02, the crack is showing signs of another explosion, immediately leave your position following the indicated path." (I)

"Group 10, you must…" (I)

The Dragons' help was less effective than we expected, it has been 4 days since the beginning of our attack on the surface of the world.

The information obtained by Silvia and Freya from the World Tree Spirit or the Will of the World was of great help but proved to be only superficial general understandings of the enemy forces.

The Insect Empresses have ways of creating endless troops of Insects and the Apostles of Truth have a large number of mutant Creatures that are very difficult to eliminate, the Dragons are powerful, but in terms of numbers, we are inferior.

If it were a frontal attack like we are making it out to be these days, it would just be a waste of time before we start suffering losses from which we are not able to recover as the enemies do.

The Golems I placed around the planet provide me with useful information, but they also prevent me from taking direct action since someone needs to coordinate this mess, I can't even use all the toys I built or fully test the enhancements I made to my body using the emergence of that one Starfire.

We were lucky that Elizabeth and Natasha had their subordinates find us by joining the battle since yesterday or casualties would have already started appearing.

The frontal offensive from space was to force the enemies' passive troops away from the planet's surface, giving more freedom to the groups spread there to distract the Apostles of Truth.

Thanks to this they don't seem to be paying due attention to Alice's group at the bottom of the ocean, from the reports it seems that Lyra has already made almost all the preparations.

The appearance of the tentacles around the Planet was a major inconvenience in our plans, issues of pure power can cause problems even for the Elder Dragons to eliminate, but the worst are the creatures that come out of these Tentacles, they are creatures with absurd regeneration capabilities and no they have vital points or Cores to aim at to finish them off, the entire body needs to be eliminated or the vitality needs to be reduced to zero to finish off these creatures.

The appearance of the tentacles were only useful to provide information about the state of the Planet, but this shows that more than 90% of the planet was taken, honestly I still think it's better to eliminate the entire Planet, but I don't know how to contact the Saint of Life who is the only with the power to do so on our side, so we are continuing with the plan.

Another thing that happened causing slowness in our incursion were the spatial cracks that appeared throughout the solar system where we are, one of the Planets was even broken into pieces by one of these cracks emitting a wave of energy.

I can't say how the place where we are hasn't suffered anything serious yet, but I suppose the Saint of Life must be fighting and these cracks are due to this fight, all of this I don't see any other explanation for this event and we are still at a point so conveniently calm of them.

After so many days we had to intensify with everyone giving their all in combat, the attack from space went from being just another extra cover and became a necessary bait to keep these tentacles distracted with the Planet's orbit instead of attacking the forces in the surface of the Planet.----------------

Pov Haku:

"You know, I wish I had more time, it's not often we get the chance to find a version of ourselves." (I)

"I didn't expect Yntra to have come this far with her cloning, much less that she would be so sentimental about me." (I)

"But unfortunately I don't have enough time to waste on all of this, I've already ripped everything I needed out of your mind, you're no longer useful." (I)

I was sitting on a chair stepping on my old face, this for some reason feels so strange and cool, I can feel a Soul inside this body after the deep investigation I did.

I look at the traces that my deep questioning left in the room, the amount of blood and flesh scattered would be enough to make 5 more of me, yet her body continues to recover completely.

It took me a while to notice the reason for this ridiculous regeneration, this was because I could feel the vitality within her that kept recovering and didn't match the level of regeneration being shown.

Her body was being fed with vitality by external measures, the creature taking over the planet that makes up the entire base of the Apostles of Truth on this Planet is automatically injecting vitality into her body, when I noticed this I realized that the air itself seemed to have particles of highly nutritious blood that is certainly the reason for the disgusting stench I smell all these days.

"Don't worry, I'm not suitable for torture, I have nothing against you particularly." (I)

Finishing speaking I open my mouth letting my tongue come out to completely wrap around her body before pulling it in, I couldn't help but grimace at the disgusting taste.

"I hate eating anything here, I don't know how I spent so many years eating this kind of thing before being reborn, it really was a precarious life before Master Zenos took me in." (I)

"If it's over we have to go, our work is done." (Caitlyn)

"Is it over yet? So Lyra is already a part of it and we can get out of this hole?" (I)

"No, I mean that I can no longer interfere with this thing's mind, its consciousness is too big and it seems to have another consciousness that has started to interfere, I am no longer of help in that way and soon it will try to crush us when it notices that we are inside your body." (Caitlyn)

"Another consciousness? You mean Yntra..." (I)

"He hasn't noticed her yet, I don't think he's even capable of doing that fundamentally, but she has already reached him mentally, it must have something to do with her Authority, let's go." (Caitlyn)

"(I could be in his place, an absolute belief in such a senseless cause, she truly fulfilled the promise of those laboratory days, I still remember what she said in our universe.)" (I)

"(Just keep following me, you are intelligent but your vision is very narrow, I will show you paths that you don't even know exist and how far we can go, limits only exist in the minds of fools who are incapable of going further.)" (Yntra)She really took me down surprising and increasingly distorted paths to the point where I lost myself in a distorted and false "Truth" of what I once sought.

"Flesh is just Yntra moldable pottery, your truth is wrong and incomplete, your path leads to a precipice without curves from the beginning." (I)

"Haku, let's go now!" (Caitlyn)

Caitlyn shattered a crystal in her hands creating a teleportation door that seems unstable before pulling me inside, I notice the reason for her haste just before we pass through the portal, her presence is unmistakable as it locks onto me and I feel her eyes almost looking right through me as I passed through the portal.

Pov Athena's:

"HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE!?" (I)

"LOKI!!!" (Veronica)

"< He Who Takes Rules >" (Loki)

I see Loki commanding with his Authority using together his own vitality to take control of the Ocean for hundreds of kilometers when he creates a storm with flows of ocean currents taking all the creatures from here away while making attacks on the large tentacles to miss his attacks against us through the intervention of the ocean water flow, diverting the trajectory of the attacks.

I was already covered in blood, that's because the entire ocean around us was soaked in the San of all the abominations we killed, these things were disgusting and difficult to kill, and my energy has been exhausted for a long time while I was surrounded and Veronica was in an even worse situation after the 6 Eclipse Titans that fell, it was their shields blocking 2 tentacle attacks that bought time for Loki to take over the ocean.

"How long can he last." (I)

"Hopefully, a few hours." (Veronica)

We both looked at him, his body shaking and an invisible pressure making his whole body crack, he had his eyes closed and was motionless, I don't know if he could even hear us.

"Lyra, I think it's a good thing you're done, we clearly don't have any more time?" (I)

After days of intense fights we realized that avoiding going all out on the first day bought us time as we managed to prevent the enemy from adapting quickly enough against us, but now even keeping up the fight is difficult.

"The poison has been ready for hours, I'm just preparing how to dilute it throughout the ocean as quickly as possible before using the ritual." (Lyra)

"How is Karina?" (I)

"Her arm has grown back, but she hasn't woken up yet." (Alice)

"Rest as much as you can, I'll let Nicole know about the progress of the plans." (Alice)

"(Finally this is almost over, I don't know if I'm sad that Zenos isn't here leading us or if I'm happy that his luck is no longer an obstacle in this already bad enough situation.)" (I)

Sigh

"I hope he's okay..." (I)
