?1158 Surrender And Accept Civilization.
The resistance force expected an army so they were waiting for more soldiers to come through the portal. But no one came after the first three.
"Maybe they sent negotiators," They thought to themselves.
That is a valid explanation for why just three enemies have entered the plane instead of an army. So they focused on the three enemies. Not only are they few in numbers, but they are also underwhelming to look at. They look like white dolls without hair, eyes, nose, mouth of any kind, lips, or ears. They are humanoid with two arms and two legs but they are featureless. They are so smooth they are creepy.
The three of them stood together in the air with their arms crossed as they overlooked the resistance of 2 billion arrayed before them. The robes they wore fluttered in the wind. There was no concern on their face. Then again, they have nothing on their face so there's nothing to indicate their emotions.
One of them said imperiously, "Surrender to the will of the Supreme Alliance. Resistance is futile. Let the Will of the Supreme Alliance bring you enlightenment and civilization."
The leaders of the resistance looked at each other and nodded to the origin god Stellos. The stellos stepped forward to speak. "I have received news that there is a negotiation going on between our leaders and yours. I propose that we wait for the conclusion of the meeting before we proceed to battle."
The Supreme beast in the center said, "I, Xick10736A, have received the commission to subdue the Stellaris plane from and for the Supreme Alliance. I have not received any order to do otherwise so I will proceed according to the commission. I do not care for any negotiation. I will only stop when I am ordered to by the Supreme Alliance. Until then, will you surrender or should I make you surrender?"
The Stellos Origin god said angrily, "Then you will have to make us surrender. I warn you that your leaders will pay a much bigger price for any damage that you cause to the plane. You have already caused considerable damage to us in the ancient battlefield so I advise you to hold on till the end of the negotiation. Go back and inform your army."
The Supreme Beast replied, "We are the army."
The Stellos's heart sank. He didn't want to believe it so he warned them sternly, "Do not joke in such a serious situation."
There are just three of them while there are more than a thousand Sovereigns of law here including him an Origin god as the defenders. He can't believe that the three of them can defeat the resistance force.
The three might have defeated the stronghold easily but the stronghold fell because the strongest forces there were just kings of law. Sovereigns might not be able to kill an Origin god but they can surely hold one back if they are strong enough because Origin gods can't use their strongest power here without breaking the limit.
He warned them again with his confidence renewed "Go back and inform your superiors of our resolve."
The three of them didn't return.
The supreme beast that spoke said, "Refusal to surrender to the Will of the Supreme Alliance has been confirmed. Proceed with the elimination of all resistance."
"You will regret this," roared the Stellos in anger.
The other leaders sighed in regret. "What a waste." They thought to themselves.
They had wanted to attack the invaders as soon as they came through the planar portal but the Stellos suggested that they speak first so that a cease-fire could be reached.
They didn't want to impede the negotiation process so they allowed him to waste a perfectly good chance to gain an advantage. They feel it is another reason why they shouldn't give the Stellos race responsibilities. The Stellos are bad leaders.
The supreme beasts didn't listen to him. They didn't appreciate his good graces for not attacking immediately and took no heed to his warnings. Instead, they attacked immediately.
The one in the middle attacked first. A hole appeared in her smooth head. It formed into a mouth without lips or teeth. She then opened her makeshift mouth wide and screamed. A shrill wail like the cry of a banshee came out of her mouth.
Her cry resounded throughout the world. It was so loud that even creatures without ears could hear it. It was so painful to hear that their existence vibrated in agony in tune with the scream. Almost everyone who heard it was mentally stunned. But that wasn't all.
Her scream created a shockwave that riled up the air. A wave appeared in front of her mouth and spread outwards from her. This wave was a materialized sound. It was a medium for her to transmit energy. So everything in the path of the sound wave was forced to receive her energy.
Her scream made the air thrum and the earth shake. People were stumbling where they stood. It is partly because of the mental disorientation and mostly because of the shaking earth.
The scream soon reached a crescendo which caused the defenders to begin to explode. They were overloaded with the external source of energy pouring uncontrollably into their body without their consent.
More and more shockwaves materialized from her mouth and struck the army. It was like a tsunami causing the ocean water to rise and drown out everything in its path. Everything in front of her was damaged. The ground cracked and turned to dust because of the high-frequency vibration of her cry.
The defenders who didn't explode immediately cracked and bled their essence through their cracks. Titans of law who suffered this injury will have a reduction in lifespan even if they survive this battle. At least, their situation is better than the Stellos.
The scream appeared to be a single attack but the victims on the receiving end no that they were suffering from more than one ailment because of the sound waves.
