The chaos inside Fort Vigilance was absolute. Neraxis, Zareth, and Nyxara relentlessly pressed their assault, and Captain Solari, alongside her Science Mages, fought valiantly to defend the west wing of the base. Thousands of demons summoned by Neraxis swarmed through the halls, tearing at the walls of the fortress. Yet, despite the overwhelming numbers, the Science Mages managed to hold their ground, shielding the public from harm.
But then Zareth Morghul stepped forward, his aura dark and commanding. With a flick of his wrist, he summoned the Void Legion. Shadowed warriors and creatures poured forth like an endless tide, their forms imbued with void energy that shimmered ominously in the dim light. The legion surged forward, their mere presence suffocating the air around them.
Captain Solari’s voice rang out over the din of battle. “Fall back! Everyone, regroup now!”
The Science Mages obeyed without hesitation, retreating as the void-bound horde pressed closer. Solari stood her ground, her technology glowing with an intense light as she activated Celestial Nanoforge. A massive wave of nanobots emerged, shimmering like a silver tide. They swarmed the battlefield, dismantling demons and Void Legion warriors alike, breaking them down into harmless components.
But Nyxara Tenebris had been waiting for her moment. Her crimson eyes gleamed, and she unleashed Black Sun Gaze. Two searing beams of dark energy shot forth from her eyes, tearing through the nanobots with terrifying precision. The beams obliterated everything in their path, leaving behind an eerie, corrupted terrain that pulsed with dark energy.
Before Solari could recover, Neraxis, Lord of the Abyss, raised his arms and invoked Abyssal Empowerment. The demonic horde surged with newfound strength, their claws sharper, their speed unmatched, and their resilience nearly impenetrable. Solari’s face hardened as she realized the tide of battle was shifting rapidly out of her favor.
But then a familiar voice boomed through the chaos. “Giving up already, Peanut? That’s not what I taught you.”
Zeraxis Prime descended from the high ceiling, landing with a shockwave that scattered the lesser demons around him. His mechanical frame gleamed, and his presence radiated raw power. Without hesitation, he activated Hypercore Overload. An enormous wave of energy erupted from his reactor, vaporizing scores of demons and pushing back the Void Legion. The battlefield fell momentarily silent as the sheer force of the attack left both ally and foe stunned.
Zeraxis strode forward toward Neraxis, Zareth, and Nyxara. His voice was calm but laced with menace. “You’ve caused quite the ruckus. How about we settle this now?”
Zareth didn’t respond with words. Instead, he opened three portals, their edges crackling with unstable energy. From the first emerged the Eldritch Colossus, a being so massive that its mere presence warped reality. The second portal revealed the Spiritbound Phalanx, spectral warriors armed with weapons of ethereal energy, their forms shimmering like ghosts. The final portal unleashed the Shadow Leviathan, a monstrous entity of pure darkness, its eyes glowing with malevolent hunger.
The sight of these three titanic forces was enough to make even Solari falter. “What... are those?” she murmured.
Zeraxis’s eyes narrowed as he assessed the threat. “Stay focused, Peanut. Follow those three and don’t let them reach Kaelus.”
“But—” Solari began, glancing at the overwhelming foes before them.
“Do as I say,” Zeraxis interrupted. “You think I’d have been your teacher if I couldn’t back it up?”
Reluctantly, Solari nodded and pursued Neraxis, Zareth, and Nyxara, who had already started moving toward Kaelus’s location. Zeraxis turned his full attention to the monstrous trio before him.
The Eldritch Colossus was the first to attack, raising its massive hand and slamming it down. The impact distorted the very fabric of space and time, creating a ripple that threatened to consume everything. Zeraxis responded instantly, activating Omega Force Shield. The shimmering energy barrier enveloped him, absorbing the distortion and protecting him from the Colossus’s reality-warping attack.
But the spectral warriors of the Spiritbound Phalanx wasted no time. Their ethereal weapons bypassed the Omega Force Shield with ease, striking Zeraxis and sending him staggering. Yet, before they could land a second blow, swarms of nanobots surged from Zeraxis’s body, initiating Nano-Reconstruction Protocol. In seconds, his injuries were healed, and he was back on his feet.
“You’re persistent,” Zeraxis muttered, a smirk playing on his lips. “Good. So am I.”
With a burst of speed, Zeraxis activated Quantum Dash, teleporting between the spectral warriors and dismantling them with surgical precision. His adaptive weapon systems shifted with each attack, countering their ethereal defenses and dispatching them one by one.
But before he could regroup, the Shadow Leviathan struck. Its massive trident descended toward Zeraxis with terrifying force. Relying on his Hyper Accelerated Reflexes, Zeraxis dodged the attack at the last possible moment, the ground where he had stood shattering under the Leviathan’s strike.
“You’re going to have to do better than that,” Zeraxis taunted, his voice calm even in the face of the towering beast.
He activated Adaptive Weapon Systems, his arm transforming into a plasma cannon. With a single, precise shot, he struck the Leviathan’s core, momentarily destabilizing it. Zeraxis followed up with a flurry of attacks, his mechanical body moving with unparalleled speed and efficiency. The Leviathan roared in frustration as Zeraxis tore through its defenses.
As the Leviathan crumbled into shadow, Zeraxis turned his attention to the remaining Eldritch Colossus. The monstrous being loomed over him, its presence a constant assault on reality itself. But Zeraxis stood firm, his confidence unshaken.
He chuckled, his voice carrying across the battlefield. “You thought you could come here and win? Let me remind you why I’m called Prime.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUQPRkQRDN
