Chapter 147: Most Valuable Thing In The Universe
"Speaking of the stalker, it seems you mentioning her has finally brought her out of hiding." Agitator Jewel said as she pointed all her left tentacles on all her bodies in one direction.
Following the direction of the pointing, Onyx was walking down the street with a Starforged impaled on her sword arm and two, what I believed to be, Qen in her claws.
I removed the tentacle Jewel had possessively placed around my waist and walked over to meet Onyx. Upon getting close to her, She dropped the two beings and the dead body to the warriors next to her.
The sound of two feminine screams were ignored by me as I feinted hugging Onyx and instead reach around and pulled on her tail hard, making her lose her balance, which she let happen, and holding her up in the air by the tail.
"Where the fuck have you been! Do you know how pent up I am? Kathrine is fun, but she is only human and can only take so much before it becomes detrimental to her health." I said before allowing her to kneel on the floor and I proceeded to hug her tightly.
"Do you know how hard it is to be away from you all? I can barely stand it, but I have to for the sake of you." I said while Onyx took the opportunity to switch forms and began to cares me softly.
"I am sorry my universe, I had to follow my vision to the point, unless I want to create a new future again where my vision becomes useless. Onyx will never leave you in the dark again though and will tell you if she needs to leave for a while." she said as she planted my head between her bosom, causing the agitators that currently made up Jewel to grow irritated.
'I knew I should have put breasts on everything. He is a mammal after all and is drawn to them like I am to biomass.' Jewel huffed and crossed her tentacles.
Thankfully, I was saved the view of a floating pile of tentacles with a set of heavy breasts and then removed my head from the caramel ones in front of me. I then turned to Jewel with a solemn look.
"What's wrong my Apollo?" Jewel said reading my body language and face. "You are going to die here today aren't you?" I said just really hating the idea of this splinter, not even a percentage of her full self, dying.
One of the agitators hovered over and stoked my face with her tentacle. "Oh my Apollo, Your care for me hinders the hunger I constantly feel as it is so sweet. But don't you worry about me. It will take another week at minimum for the prey to drive me off the planet, and I will consume all the biomass I can in the meantime."
I nodded to myself, knowing that she was ok with the loss. It still pained me she was losing parts of herself, but I also know she is losing trillions of parts of herself in other parts of the universe daily and this little splinter on this planet truly is nothing.
"Ok then my love, in that case, can I give you some advice on how to proceed forward with your destruction." I asked. Jewel did not show it, on account of the agitators having no facial features, but she was delighted her mate was taking an interest in her 'work' so to speak.
"Of course my everything. Your last idea of using my gift as a wall worked out splendidly so I am open to your suggestions." She paused a moment and decided to be truthful with her mate. "In fact, if the idea is a bad one, I still dont mind doing it and it will be your love that has guided me."
Before Jewel could say anything else and make me vomit sugar I began. "Well, since you know Onyx is here, I can assume you did not make any drones right? We don't want another catastrophe like when she first mutated." "Yes my Apollo, only a small amount of drones were alive to make planet fall and when I lost contact I knew not to make anymore." Jewel said, looking over at Onyx.
"Good. Now you may need to convert some warriors to be able to create eggs instead of moving back and forth to nests." Jewel saw no reason why not, she has done this before. "Next I want you to only focus on creating more warriors and keep your elite castes in reserve in case of emergencies.
With this strategy, you are going to avoid the militaries on this planet as much as possible, only sending light swarms to keep them occupied and focus on decimating the civilian population. With this you will have more and more biomass piling up and will have longer to enact your revenge.
Oh, you may as well Consume your crashed ships as well as they can probably jumpstart the warriors you need by at least a million or five."
Jewel thought over Apollo's plan in less than a second. She liked his idea, she would usually just consume everything she sees first, as it is feeding the hive. But she knew she would not survive this one, so cause damages instead of feeding. Weakening this preys world for a future invasion.
As she began to tap the tip of my nose with a tentacle, she responded. "I like your plan my love, my usual hunger would blind me to such a thing. With this I can survive as an annoyance on this world for a couple of weeks before I run out of steam."
"My Universe, I wish not to trouble you, but we don't have long until your mercenaries leave the planet. We should leave in the next 10 minutes if you wish to catch up." Onyx said souring the reunion.
I looked back at Jewel who relayed her love and understanding of the situation. "What is a few more months my Apollo, we have eternity together after all." She said as she assures me. I simply smiled as I looked at her and proceeded to don my armour.
Turning around, I looked at the nearest Warrior and smiled as I leant down. "HI sweetie, can you do me a favour and drive your scythe sharply across my torso. It doesn't have to be deep, just enough to cause some damage.
The warrior stepped back in confusion and cocked its head like an Orchid. "I told those prey that looked like me I was holding you sweeties off in a big fight. I need to look the part with how long I have been gone. If you do It I will give you a head pat and a kiss?"
HEADPAT AND A KISS!!!
It was safe to say that although the hive does not use money, that was the best offer in the universe!
The warrior wasted no time hesitating now and slashed a deep cut across my armour. "Good girl, here." Head pat and kiss was distributed and the warrior began to do a tappy dance with its legs while shrieking in delight.
"Whose next my lovely ladies? First come first served." I Said as one of the biggest mistakes of this life. The hive sort of lost it for a moment as every one of the thousands of bio forms rushed towards me. Even Onyx made a large gash across my back as she too wanted head pats.
8 minutes later and I would have looked better if I actually did fight off a horde of bug monsters on my own. "O-Onyx." I said after the trauma had passed. "Carry me back most of the way, You are faster than Sapphire and I'll use her for the last leg.
A wicked smile appeared on Onyx's face before she transformed back into he stalker form once more. She offered to princess carry me, but I decided for a piggy back instead. "Oh one more thing!" I said before I got onto Onyx. I walked over to a freethinker and looked up at her. "G-Greeting Apollo-mate. How may this one serve?" She relayed.
"Can I have your right scythe gorgeous I need it for-" The Freethinker needed no extra motivation as she brought it up to her maw and bit it clean off before leaning down and placing it in my hands. "Oh, well, thank you gorgeous." I said and leaned up and kissed her on her teeth. The Freethinker short-circuited her brain at the kiss and just stood there not moving.
Looking over to Jewel's bodies, I just shrugged before walking over to Onyx and mounting her back. "This is not the type of mounting I had in mind after our two weeks apart my universe, but I still like it." Feeling Onyx's mood I responded. "Oh I bet, you naughty girl, how about once we are back in space, I make you my slave concubine again." I whispered to her while gently caressing her thorax.
Onyx was about to respond naughtily, but her sensitivity to Psionic energy picked up one of the agitators ready to fire a Blast of powerful Psionic energy towards her and she decided to sprint off and finish the conversation later.
