The wounded soldier had no idea how the enemies had made their way through the forcefield blocking interdimensional travel and into their world, but all he knew was that the enemies had done something to the forcefield that prevented anyone inside the world of the Machina from escaping into any parallel world. The soldiers and many civilians had tried to retreat to other worlds since they knew they stood no chance against their attackers, but none of them were able to! But they weren’t just going to sit around and wait for the enemies to kill all of them. Even though the Machina had always been a powerful race and they believed greatly in the might of their people, they also knew that there were many other dangerous worlds out there that could attack them at any moment. There had always been this fear within the heart of the Machina that they would be attacked by an enemy that they could not defeat, and it was the fear that led them to create something that only two of the highest-ranking Machina in this world knew about. A doomsday switch!
The doomsday switch was a secret weapon that was built after the Period of Lawlessness to ensure that the legacy of the Machina would remain intact no matter what. Even if all the Machina were to be killed, the doomsday switch would not only give them their vengeance by killing their enemies, but it would also make sure that none of their enemies could steal their technology and use it for themselves! It was the perfect killing machine! The Machina limped his way towards a panel in the wall and he placed a bloody finger on the scanner there before the door opened to let him in. Inside the room, there was a panel that had a keyboard and one button under a protective glass case that was attached to a monitor, and the Machina struggled to make his way towards the keyboard. He typed some sequences quickly and put in a few passwords that would give him access to the system, and once he was in, he saw a prompt asking him to confirm the doomsday sequence.
[Once the sequence begins, it cannot be stopped.]
The Machina grit his teeth in anger as he saw this ominous message appear in front of him! He knew that pressing this button would kill millions of their own people, but he also knew that it would kill all the enemies that had come for them! And besides, there were millions of Machina who had already entered the bunkers, so he didn’t have anything to fear for the future of the Machina! The Machina in the bunkers would survive, so we knew that their race would not die out! The man raised his hand and slammed it down on the button!
Slam!
Squelch!
And at the same time, a sword stabbed through his back and impaled him against the monitor! The Machina died immediately from his wounds, but his mission had already been completed, and the Dragonborn Legion subordinate that stabbed him in the back simply pulled out its sword and left to continue killing the other Machina! On the large monitor screen, a countdown began!
[5:00]
[4:59]
[4:58]
[4:57...]
....
Alexander was exhausted!
BOOM!
A massive explosion went off on Alexander’s back, and he felt a searing pain pass through him as Gillian’s skill tore off another large chunk of his body! The wound immediately began to heal, and Alexander had to turn around as he slammed his hand into a large rocket that Jason had shot at him and destroyed it in one swing! Alexander’s body had now formed into a large lamia! His lower body was a large serpent that twisted and turned around various buildings, and his upper body was a female serpent that had pale white eyes, large fangs, and a forked tongue! The lamia had a unique ability that allowed them to take control of any man who looked into their eyes, and the moment Alexander transformed into this form, he was able to draw various male Machina in his direction, and he sent all of them towards Jason and Gillian!
Alexander had tried using the Lamia ability on Jason as well, but for some reason, it didn’t work, and Alexander had ended up with his left arm erupting in red flames from Jason’s attack! Alexander just decided not to let that stop him as he cut off the arm and continued the fight! But at this rate, Alexander knew that he would lose! Alexander was still only a TITAN Rank III, and he was up against Gillian and Jason, who were a TITAN Rank III and a TITAN Rank II, respectively! There was no world where Alexander could see himself coming out on top in a fight like this – especially considering the fact that Jason had so many skills and abilities that he was more than capable of keeping up with the TITAN Rank III’s!
’If nothing changes quickly, then I’m going to be trapped or killed. I need to leave this world and find that core!’
Alexander knew that it would be impossible to escape Gillian and Jason right now! The two fighters had locked onto Alexander’s mana in a way that prevented him from taking one step without them being right on top of him again! So instead of wasting time trying to escape, Alexander decided that it would be better to just go ahead and complete the plan that had been in his heart all along! The entire reason why Alexander had begun tormenting the dragonborn and earthlings was because he wanted to acquire the heart of the Dragonking Rumunaga, which was buried under the Yellow Ashen Mountains! Alex had learned about the heart from a traveller about two decades ago, and he had been trying to figure out the best way to put Radagan under enough pressure to finally get the Magical heart for himself! But Radagan’s affairs had been perfectly stable all those years, and there was never any reason for him to interfere legally! Alexander knew that the head of the council, C’thlyanu, was already watching him closely, and if Alexander had done anything rash, then that would have drawn even more suspicion. But once Alexander noticed that another world had interfered in the affairs of Radagan, he realised that this was his chance, and he immediately went all in to try and gain the Yellow Ashen Mountains for himself!
But Alexander never thought that Radagan would act this fucking difficult about those mountains! Alexander was certain that no one other than him knew about what was really under there, and if not for Jason’s meddling, then the dragonborn wouldn’t have had any issues handing the mountains over! Alexander finally decided that since the dragonborn didn’t want to give him what he wanted legally, he was just going to fucking take it! Alexander turned towards the eastern region to look for the central control building that was in charge of the forcefield, and once he found it, he sprouted a pair of large angel wings from his back and took off towards it!
Down on the ground, Jason noticed the massive figure taking off, and he growled in annoyance as he tried to get away from the multitudes of mind-controlled Machina that were swarming at him! The Machina around him didn’t have any concern for their own well-being or life, and they were willingly running towards their death just to try and stop Jason from reaching Alexander!
