Chapter 417 Annhilation of the Enemy |
Erich had been the focus of many eyes across the galaxy. He was effectively an Emperor who was taking the front lines in a war this his soldiers were waging on his behalf. It was a rare sight, even in a place as large as the Milky Way Galaxy, which was itself full of thousands of interstellar civilizations, and the species which made them.
Yet Erich's experience as a special operations soldier came in handy. In situations where normal soldiers would perish. Erich expertly used his skills to not only survive, but eliminate those who attempted to kill him.
The race of insectoids that Erich was fighting were not like the Naraku, insofar as they did not rapidly evolve new breeds of bugs to fight whatever circumstances they came across. Instead, they were more humanoid, insofar as they were all bipedal creatures, albeit capable of flight.
They were not capable of simply consuming biological material and using it to create different varieties of their race whose tasks were depending upon the circumstances they came up against. Regardless, this species was indeed still insectoid in origin.
Because of this Erich did not trust them or their continued existence in the milky way. When it became known that the Naraku had been using species like this to spy upon and even manipulate the galaxy for countless years, Erich made the vow that all insectoid lives capable of intelligent thought were to be exterminated wherever they might be found.
Thus, Erich showed no mercy as he ripped the insectoids apart with his own two hands. A feat only capable due to the genetic serum he had taken, and the Advanced Power Armor MK III, which he currently wore. A set of armor that enhanced his already superhuman physical capabilities.
Whether it was the advanced energy weapons that the Germanic Soldiers wielded which were capable of melting the thick carapace of a Naraku Warrior Drone or their own physical strength and power armor that, when combined together, gave them the tear one apart with their bare hands.
One thing was certain from the videos that were being broadcasted across the galaxy, the individual capabilities of each Germanic soldier were above and beyond what the galaxy had anticipated.
These were not the same Germanic Warriors who participated the Alfheim Dominion's War Games several years back. No, these soldiers and Marines were far more capable. And the Galaxy had begun to suspect that the Empire had held back in these war games.
Whether it was the warships that could stand toe to with the Naraku Hive Fleets, or the armored vehicles that, when utilized by Auxiliary Support Droids, were capable of smashing even a Naraku Swarm Tyrant to pieces.
Erich himself leading the charge was surprising. But not as surprising as what happened when he and his forces finally penetrated so deep into the world that they found the Queen and her royal guards.
This particular queen was the matriarch of the entire species. She was much larger and more powerful than the other insectoids of her race. And she was surrounded by a royal guard that looked the same.
The insectoid queen hissed when the Germanic soldiers pierced into her royal chambers. They had dealt so much damage to her people over the past month of fighting that her only odds of saving her species were to escape to a new world with her royal guard. But before she could do so, Erich and his troops reached her royal chamber.
By now the majority of this insectoid species was wiped out, and without their Matriarch they would surely go extinct. Because of this, the large bug tried to negotiate with Erich, hissing at him while she did so.
"Why did you come here, alien? We did not provoke you, yet you wage a war with the intent to wipe us out! What evil has committed to deserve such a horrific fate?"
Erich did not say a single word as he leaped forward, vaulting across the vast distance between him and the Insectoid Queen. Once they were standing face to face, he realized he was still taller than her.
Though her royal guard moved to attack him, they were immediately blasted into bits by the soldiers who entered the Royal Chamber with Erich. Once they were taken care of, Erich lifted the insectoid Queen up into the air with a single hand, choking the life out of her as he did so. He then spoke the words which were recorded by the helmet cams of all the soldiers who observed him.
His words were broadcasted across the galaxy and were filled with a level of spite and disdain that few living beings had witnessed.
"Your existence alone warrants such violent reprisal!"
After saying this, Erich clenched his fist around the insectoid queen's throat so tightly that is quite literally severed her head, killing her on the spot, and dooming her species to extinction. Which Erich proudly announced his people's victory immediately thereafter, while wiping his hands clean of the bug's blood.
"The Matriarch is dead! Now go forth and eliminate what remains of these wretched bugs!"
What followed was a complete and total genocide of the species. One of many that was taking place across the galaxy at this moment, all of which were inflicted by the Empire and its forces. Erich would only leave the world after all remnants of the species had been thoroughly eradicated.
He would then sell the world to the highest bidder, as it was so far from his own borders that he had no desire to take it for himself. Erich had planned to immediately enter another battlefield after finishing with this planet. But before he could do so, he was given a message by Tia, who appeared within his own line of sight in the form of a holographic projection.
"Master…. There is a diplomatic envoy heading towards Earth… It is from the Heavenly Domain…"
When Erich heard this, he recalled his brief contact with the Heavenly Domain during his previous timeline. And because of this, he decided to set aside his intentions of war, and instead focus on diplomacy. As after all, they were the only other remaining fraction of humanity that he was aware of.
