Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

"Mother! I am sorry for not mentioning you every time I spoke!" Calishora apologized, but Tiamat was not interested in her spawn sniveling.

The Astral Goddess had called her daughter here to set plans in place. It was clear that even with her immense power, it was going to be a close fight. This Daniel was able to easily defeat the mockeries, but they were still controlled by high-level generals that had fought many battles.

Tiamat was not a stranger to Beta. He and Calishora had clashed many times, but Beta was the better of the two, but that was because she was controlled by Alpha and ran ragged until death. The Beta that was with the other fleet now was the seven thousand five hundred sixty-ninth Beta clone.

She had always given her daughter credit because, unlike her opponent, she had never died and knew when it was time to pull back. That was before she met Daniel. That creature was infectious, and he had made it clear that his plan was to capture her.

Tiamat would kill her child before she let that happen. Each of her children represented a large part of her body. If she killed them herself, that part would be returning to her in the form of energy.

Whether the children lived or died, they never existed, to begin with. Each of them was living on borrowed time until Tiamat was complete. If she was able to get her Astral Heart back, she would finally be able to remove Alpha, and no one would ever challenge her.

"Be quiet. You should have thought about that before you decided that conversation with this creature was more important than I, Tiamat, mother of all Drakar! Now, you are here for me to check to make sure that you are using the proper System. Since you made your point clear, I am going to use you as a way to make sure I get what I want!" Tiamat snapped.

"Yes, mother! Blessed be Tia-"

"Shut up and keep my name out of your mouth, or I will completely subvert you over into one of my puppets like Alpha likes doing!" Tiamat snapped, and Calishora flinched back.

She had known that her life would end one day. All the Children of Tiamat were destined to be absorbed back into the True Body. Whatever her mother was planning, she deserved it for the failure she had committed.

Seven million years ago, Tiamat gave her the honorable job of chasing down her Astral Heart. The task was not simple, and Calishora had come close to death many times. Dragoness had always prevailed or was able to pull back.

For the first time, she had made a mistake and forgot to honor her mother. It was true that she only existed because of Tiamat, but that person had caught her off-guard.

Calishora had always secretly wondered what it might be like to not always be in constant war. Daniel had said that he was going to capture her, and that infuriated the dragoness. Then, Calishora wondered if he could…

That thought had been in the back of her mind since she had been forced out of that body. Calishora knew that her mother would just kill her if she tried to give up, but maybe there was a way to get through to him.

She didn't want to disappear. Calishora was more than just a piece of her mother. She had real memories, even if none of them were particularly good.

"The changes are done. I will send you back to your body. Since you are so interested in this child, I would like you to learn more about him and try to contact him. He might be smart, but he is not a God. He must have a weakness besides the girls. I will be monitoring all your conversations and studies so I can learn as you do," Tiamat explained, making Calishora look up in confusion.

"How am I supposed to be able to get a hold of him? We are one month from the Blackhole still. He doesn't even exist yet, from what we can see," Calishora said, and her mother nodded.

"I have made adjustments to your System that will help you contact him since he had already been inside of your mind. You will reach out across the cosmos and invite him in again," Tiamat explained.

"Is this not dangerous?" Calishora asked, unsure if this was a good or a bad thing.

"I have prepared measures for him this time. If he thinks that he will just be able to do what he likes, then I might even be able to trap him in your mind. Then I can kill you both while taking control of the body that holds my heart," Tiamat explained, and Calishora felt all hope to slip away as she was returned to her body.

The dragoness opened her eyes and sat up in her bed. Calishora was in her humanoid form. Her natural form was too large for the ship, so a more petite body was required.

Calishora looked down at her hands, and she opened up her System Menu. She browsed the sections until she found the skill she wanted. Since her mother wanted her to talk to Daniel as soon as possible, Calishora would waste no time.

I was sitting in the pool with Sofia waiting at the top of the roof when it happened. Binder was with us, but we were still waiting on Jack.

'I, Calishora, Daughter of… The Astral Goddess is inviting you to my mind.'

I paused in the middle of talking about the jet we would be using, and I looked at Sofia with a raised eyebrow.

"What is it?" Sofia asked.

"Calishora just invited me to her mind again. Well, again isn't right. Tiamat invited me the first time," I said.

"That is interesting. Are you sure that is a good idea?" Sofia asked, and I shrugged.

"Are you speaking of Astral Projecting yourself into someone else's mind?" Binder asked, and I nodded.

"Yes, I am being invited in, but the last two times were by the Gods themselves. This time it is her daughter, so I am leery. There is more than likely a trap waiting for me by Tiamat," I said, and Binder nodded.

"Sofia and I will meditate and link with you. This will ground you and prevent you from being locked in. if you were entering on your own, we would need more, but an invitation is different. I am sure you are aware of that much," Binder explained, and I lifted both eyebrows.

"You talk like you have had your own experiences with this?" I questioned.

"I have a sneaking suspicion that I have seen Allah. From the reports that were given before you arrived, that is the same golden God you call, Alpha," Binder said, and my eyes went wide.

"Now that is some food for thought! It is quite possible. That makes me wonder if we are going to find any Gideons or Drakar when we visit the base?" I pondered.

'Hello?!' Calishora echoed in my mind.

'One moment, please, I am taking a poo,' I replied.

'What?! Why would you tell me of such a disgusting habit?!' Calishora snapped, making me wince.

"What is wrong now?!" Sofia asked, grabbing my arm.

"Nothing, I am just pissing her off. If you can do this linking thing, I should get going. I will literally be gone for a blink," I said, and Binder nodded, standing from the water in his shorts.

"Sofia, you will just have to meditate, but center your thoughts on Daniel. I will be doing the same thing, and we just have to place a hand on his back while we do," Binder explained, and Sofia nodded.

"I hope you know what you are talking about," Sofia said as I sat up on the ledge of the pool.

"Well, this is just from my own personal practice and studies. It is more of a hobby," Binder explained.

"That does not make me feel better," Sofia said flatly.

"This is better than just going in with nothing. Considering that is all we had before, this is a step in the right direction. I also have some practice with this, and what Binder is talking about makes sense," I explained.

"Well, just be careful. We need you," Sofia said, and I nodded as I closed my eyes.

'Are you ready yet?!'

'What is your rush? I am trying to get comfortable!' I snapped back at the dragoness.

I was making sure that I was entirely centered. I had to make sure that I was fully in control of everything the moment that I entered this dream world.

I was the one that controlled the worlds that I was invited to, and I would treat this like a dream that I could control. In a place like this, anything should be possible. No, anything was possible.

I was a god being invited to control the mind of this creature. I could do anything I wanted, and there was nothing that could stop me.

"I am going in," I said out loud, and in my head, I said, 'I accept your invitation as the holder of your heart and the true ruler.'

Calishora had no chance to stop me as I was ripped from my body and pulled trillions of miles across the cosmos. I was going to a reality that was created just for me.

I had been invited, after all.
