The insectoid horde had advanced to the very edge of the dead planet, on the brink of landing. Then a single, crushing wave drove them back.
Baar pulled his gaze from the viewport. He didn’t ask Margaret how she’d done it. He closed his eyes, low, resonant rumble sounded from deep within his spiritual realm.
A black serpent, vast enough to blot out the starlight, materialized in the void.
and a
Cheiron closed his eyes as well. A shrill eagle’s cry split the silence, and a massive black eagle exploded into the asteroid field.
Spirit beasts were immune to insectoid toxins but vulnerable to contamination. With Margaret’s purification net spread beneath them like a safety net, the two SSS-class males unleashed their full power without holding back.
Margaret stood at the panoramic viewport, hands still extended. She watched the two titans tear through the battlefield, then looked down at her own glowing palms.
This power was absurdly broken.
The last high-tier insectoid split open under the black eagle’s talons, acrid green ichor bleeding into the void.
The colossal serpent coiled at the edge of the asteroid belt, swept its gold slit-pupiled gaze across the field one final time, and dissolved.
The alarms in the command tower fell silent.
Beyond the viewport, logistics tug ships were already ascending. Heavy mechanical arms reached from their hatches, hauling shattered mechs and insectoid carcasses to clear the lanes.
Baar turned and tugged his collar loose..
“The coordinates are blown.” He looked at Gary, voice sharp, no room for argument. “Signal the fleet. Abandon Base Zero. Three hours to pack all equipment and supplies. Wounded board first, then fall back to the second defense line.”
Gary snapped a salute and turned to relay the orders.
Staring
Baar turned to Margaret. She was still standing at the console, head bent, staring at her hands like they belonged to a stranger.
Cheiron stood beside her, gray eyes sharp with analytical focus,
“Come on.” Baar’s voice cut through. “Ler’s head down.”
The three of them took the grav lift to the medical bay,
The car was deathly quiet.
Margaret kept her expression neutral, but her thoughts were in utter chaos.

Primo had calculated the limit of an SSS-class female at full capacity deep psychic purification for ten high-ranking officers, at absolute maximum.
But she’d purified twenty, thirty thousand soldiers-fully a third of the defense line’s forces.
This wasn’t peak performance—it was a miracle. And she wasn’t even tired. She felt wired.
“Primo. Run it.” She pinged the system,
Primo’s voice came back hollow. “Host, I’m already running diagnostics. This is… beyond any parameter in my database. Another energy source was definitely feeding into your spiritual realm during the event.”
“Whose?”
“I don’t know. My clearance isn’t high enough. But I can confirm one thing-that power didn’t come from this world”
Margaret frowned. “Is there a power-up like that in the System Mall?”
“No,” Primo paused. “Host, I’m going to dig deeper into the encrypted layers. See if I can find something.”
Silence settled back into her head.
Margaret pressed her fingers to her temple. An energy source that didn’t belong to this world, and it had acted as an unlimited external power source for her?

The lift chimed as it reached the medical bay on the bottom floor.
The doors slid open. The sharp scent of antiseptic mixed with blood washed over them immediately.
The makeshift triage center was packed, row after row of wounded. After a normal swarm assault, a medical bay like this became a slaughterhouse all over again. Contaminated soldiers would tear each other apart in frenzied spirals, the screams of collapsing spirit beasts shaking the walls.
Today the room was unnervingly quiet.
Soldiers who should have been writhing in agony lay still on their stretchers. Corroded wounds had already scabbed over. Volatile spiritual power signatures had steadied into calm, even rhythms.
The officers nearest the door turned at the sound of footsteps. The moment they registered who had just entered, their eyes lit up with reverent awe.
No one in the galaxy but the only SSS-class female could have pulled off a mass purification of that scale— a miracle at such a range.
