LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 1279: The Strongests Xenoids
-----
A massive planet made of flesh, with rivers of blood and fatty acids, with mountains and forests made of blood vessels and bones and filled with billions of alien eggs constantly hatching and being incubated by the planet itself, moved across the stars, rapidly piercing through the sound barrier and even beginning to move at almost light years of speed.
It exuded a tremendous psychic and electromagnetic power, almost equal to magic itself, which it used to pierce through space and skip large parts of the cosmos, moving through literal "spacetime jumps" the power that their strongest kind possessed.
And this planet was a living being of its own, the mother of them all, reigning supreme over every single Xenoid throughout the universe.
"Not only did Agonitias perish… But now, even Psychomind! This cannot be. My children are perfect in every way, the ultimate lifeforms of this planet!"
And from within the planet itself, the furious voice of their Mother screamed in fury and regret, frustration and sorrow as she learned of the death of her two named sons.
She only had a few named children, four of them and no more. The rest were all nameless, and her children would only earn her complete love and affection after attaining their power.
Becoming "Ultimate Xenoid" or "Ascended Xenoid" their power was unrivaled, only surpassed by hers. They were planet busters capable of destroying entire planets and solar systems, getting rid of life with ease, and also absorbing it.
They were all destined to begin their own Swarms eventually, to spread even further through the endless cosmos, and yet now, two were dead.
"HUMANS!"
RUMBLE!
With a furious scream, her entire world, and her entire body, trembled, the entities living within them, billions of them, panicked, glancing everywhere.
She was filled with anger against all humans. Never in her life had she battled such a stubborn series of lifeforms, so capable of fighting against her own kind, they had survived all the way to the present.
"There must be a reason behind their power… And it must be behind their outrageous technology, and the power they harness…!"
The knowledge she had acquired from the humans that had been assimilated by her children quickly allowed her to understand how they worked, and also about their technology.
"Neutonium Cores?"
Her eyes widened, finally realizing that this strangely named mineral was in fact something she was actually very familiar with.
"So the humans also discovered them?! The Crystal Lifeforms we couldn't assimilate?!"
She grew shocked and yet, everything made sense to her… After all, these lifeforms were also what granted her strongest children and her their powers.
Although they were unable to assimilate them at the beginning, the Crystal Lifeforms that humans call Neutonium Core, most likely after the man that discovered and named them, Doctor Neutonium Flintlock, the Mother of Xenoids found another way.
When Xenoids grew strong enough by consuming a lot of living matter, be it their own siblings or aliens, and became big and strong enough, they would then go through a ritual of ascension, being given a large Neutonium Core fragment which they would need to absorb.
Once they fully absorb it through their greater power, the Xenoid then evolves into a Titan Xenoid. Her four named children were also born like this, but through battle and years, they absorbed dozens of other Titans Xenoids, and billions of lifeforms into their own bodies.
Agonitias devoured and assimilated billions of muscular and powerful aliens across a dozen different planets, all of them had tough skin and giant muscles, battle maniacs and warmongers. His personality was born from the fusion of their personalities and desires.
Psychomind was similar, having feasted on over seven planets, half of them populated by races of aliens with powerful psychic abilities, gaining tremendous psychic power and a gigantic brain to amplify them even further. His personality was also born out of these cunning aliens' emotions and personalities.
And lastly, her two other children…
FLUOSH!
A massive projection of electricity manifested in front of her many eyes, as she saw her two children, who were traveling across space while bringing with them their armies of Xenoids.
"Mother, I will soon reach the destination," spoke one of them, seemingly with the voice of a gallant young man, his figure couldn't be quite seen, but he was tall, slender, and elegant looking. "The humans will be eradicated by my blade. I shall avenge Agonitias and Psychomind for you."
"Ah, my son… Yes, you will."
"Not if I get there first though~!" the voice of a young woman echoed from the other projection, the origin of this silhouette being that of something resembling a beautiful humanoid woman with wide hips and chest, and long, tentacle-like hair with six enormous pairs of wings. "I call dibs on them all if I get there first okay?"
"My dear daughter… Very well."
Their Mother smiled, as she was also on the move anyway, her eyes glancing into the vast cosmos and towards her greatest enemy so far.
"Whoever gets there first can destroy them as they desire… And the one that manages to do so will be rewarded for their efforts."
"Then there is little excuse to slack off anymore, very well mother."
"I'll do it! We don't need your help brother! I can do it all on my own~!"
"Hmph, we'll see about that."
"Hohoh, we'll surely see!"
Their Mother looked at them discussing and fighting between one another, they sure didn't have the best relationship, which made her slightly irritated.
"You two should get along better, we are fighting against a terrifying opponent…! Don't you dare fight between one another, did you hear me?! Being competitive is fine, but don't overdo it."
Her son and her daughter quickly panicked, nodding without saying another word after their apology.
"Y-Yes, mother."
"S-Sorry!"
Their projections dissipated, as the Mother of All Xenoids glanced into the cosmos, the gigantic spaceship where the humans were, and also…
The planet they were aiming for.
"A world full of life that they will terraform, hm? How interesting… And I happen to be so hungry right now."
