Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse-Chapter 160 Unicorns Are Badasses
"Wah?! Not good? What kind of answer is that?!" I complained as I walked over to Octavia.
"The answer that I am giving you. The Restriction System is a robot, not an Annokale like me. There is one in there, but it is restricted by the System. I have no way to track it because I don't know what I am looking for," Octavia explained, and I groaned, but I got it.
"Okay, what about searching for systeminium?" I asked.
"Nope, it doesn't work. It is cloaked, and it shouldn't have any unless it is put offline, aka, destroyed," Octavia replied.
"Tricky thing! Fine, what do we know about it? Does it have a shape that it's likely to take?" I asked, and Octavia gestured to the table between us, and a small square appeared an inch cubed. "Really? This is what we are looking for?!"
"Most likely."
"How does it move?"
"Gravity locked on the planet. It locks itself at a certain orbit," Octavia explained, and I nodded.
"Scan for things that fit this profile, moving at a constant orbit. That should be easy enough; there shouldn't be anything that can hold a single orbit. Even if there is, there can't be that many," I said, and Octavia nodded.
"I will try; give me a moment," Octavia said, and she gestured to the table that grew a copy of earth.
Slowly, lines started to appear around the globe, but most of them disappeared right away when they deviated. We were looking for something that kept what should be a static obit, even if it moved like other debris.
It took about an hour of eye fucking the shit out of the globe while Octavia did all the work, but I really didn't know anything about scanning. We could have called Sofia up, but Octavia said there was nothing to do to speed up the process.
"So, this little tiny thing is what is cutting off the power? How do you suggest we deal with it?" I asked, and Octavia gave me a pointed look.
"Shoot it from a distance. But from space, so it doesn't come down here and start terrorizing everyone. Burn it with fire, as the saying goes," Octavia said, crossing her arms, and I lifted my eyebrows.
"Really? Is it that dangerous?" I asked.
"It is a robot that has been absorbing all the planet's electricity. That is an almost infinite resource on this planet for the nanobot, so it will put up a fight if you don't kill it in one shot," Octavia explained, and I nodded.
"I might want to wait then. I feel like I am getting close to another growth spurt, so I might as well take a day or two to get ready. I would hate to get taken out by the last System that has been hiding," I said with a sigh, and Octavia nodded. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎
"Yes, I agree with that idea. It is better to go into something like this prepared and with a plan. The System will try to impose restrictions, but you should be able to override them. They will temporarily affect you, so you have to take that into consideration," Octavia explained, and I nodded.
"Yeah, sounds like it is going to be one hell of a fight. The chances of me finishing it off in one shot are going to be pretty slim," I groaned. "Like I really needed something else right now. There are already a million other things that I need to take care of."
"Well, this will create more options if we can solve this. There is also nothing saying that you need to deal with this problem right now. It is a dangerous task, and I am sure there are many other things that you can do to get stronger for now," Octavia said, and I nodded.
At least we know where it is now, and we can deal with it when I am ready," I said and then asked, "Any trace of the Darkar or Gideons yet?"
"Nothing so far, but I will let you know when they enter the solar system. So far, there are only the Cleaners that we can track, and they are set to a thirteen-month course to reach us. As for the other two, they are historically five and six months behind each other, and it looked like the Darkar lost, so they would have a month's head start, making them about five months behind us, maybe six," Octavia explained.
"Let's hope they all stay about the same. I really don't need any more surprises right now," I complained and walked over to a bare spot on the wall that opened up for me. "If you need anything, you know how to get a hold of me. Let me know if anything happens!"
"I will!" Octavia called as I jumped out of the massive Great Tree.
I started to fall to the ground, looking out at the green forest as far as the eye could see. I wanted to protect this and keep it this way, but I was struggling to find a way to do that.
Large metallic dragon wings burst from my back as I arched up to smoothly glide far above the forest.
Now I knew where the final System was hiding, but it turned out that it was going to be more than I bargained for. Still, it was something that I was going to have to deal with at some point.
The sun was starting to go down, but it was really a different sight from far up in the sky. It would be dark on the ground already, but for me, the tops of all the trees were bathed in golden light.
I started to descend, heading back home to my Great Tree. Chelsea was still staying at the opposite end of the tree from Amy, but neither of them seemed to mind.
I swooped down and dropped into my pool, retracting my wings and letting out a sigh at the hot fluid. Finally, at home, I can relax for a bit.
"Daniel! You are here! I want to talk to you about some ideas that I have for my new system!" Chelsea said as she came running up the stairs with Kitsune coming with her.
Well, I was going to relax, but this was still good.
"Hey, come get in the pool with me, and we can talk about all you want, but I need a soak," I said with a smile, and both Chelsea and Kitsune came in the water.
Both waded over and came over to either side of me.
"So, I was thinking that you could make me into a unicorn," Chelsea said, and I gave her a look.
"Why?" Was all I could ask.
"Because it's a unicorn, and they are badasses!" Chelsea declared, splashing regeneration fluid.
"No, they aren't. Cool, maybe. Majestical, yes, but serious, what are you going to do as a unicorn?" I asked skeptically.
"Well, I mean, I would be a unicorn! What about a butterfly? Dragonfly! That's the one!" Chelsea declared, and I groaned.
"Can you take this seriously? I want you to pick what you want, but I am also not going to make your system useless! Pick something that is good and that you can use that would be useful," I said, and Chelsea tossed her hands up in the air.
"I don't know what to pick then! I told you all my ideas, smarty pants! You give me some suggestions if you think mine are no good!" Chelsea complained.
"Water mage, Storm elemental, Lightning elemental, storm creator, or speedster. There are tons of cool things to pick from," I suggested.
"Speedster? Like the Flash? Hmmm, maybe not; I would just end up getting hurt! What about a Water Mage? I could help water the forest! And wash away the foes with a Tsunami!" Chelsea cheered.
"Water mage? I think I could work something out with that; I still want to recharge before we do that. How are things going with you and Kitsune?" I asked.
"Great! That is right! Sorry, Kitsune, I almost forgot to ask for you!" Chelsea said, striking a finger in the air, turning to me. "Can you make Kitsune into a girl? With like... two... four... six tails! Yeah, that will look really cool!"
"Oh? Kitsune? You want a more human form?" I asked, turning to the large red wet fox, and she nodded.
"If that is within your powers, and you don't mind doing it. I would like to know what it is like to be like the girls. I feel like we spend a lot of time together, and it would be easier if I was the same," Kitsune explained, and I nodded.
"Sure, that sounds like a fun idea, and this was something I was curious about. I am glad that you offered yourself up to be the first test subject," I smiled, and Chelsea pinched me. "Ow! What!?"
"Don't talk like she is some guinea pig!" Chelsea growled, and I laughed.
"When have I messed up? I am just saying, now, I don't have to ask anyone to volunteer! Don't be so violent with me. I is fragile!" I teased.
"You is a pain in the butt!" Chelsea said, sticking out her tongue at me.
