The reason why Achilles came here to start with.
The one that had nearly cost them their lives multiple times.
It was a loose end that Achilles would not leave alone as the top of a transparent crystal vine quietly snaked over!
Achilles could feel the tumultuous emotions. The fear and sense of regret that the impulses of Amos had.
It was hard to guess this was the same man bragging about others not even being able to say no to him not too long ago!
Achilles tried to just imagine what would have happened if he was not able to assimilate anything.
If he, even in the best case scenario, was just another normal Advanced Human.
He would still be at Lower Body Modification along with Rose, and with such power, wouldn't Amos have been able to send even a few Upper Tier Body Modification Advanced Humans to kidnap them? To kill him and do whatever he wanted to Rose?
Just imagining what could have been if he didn't have the power he held infuriated him, the sharp end of the crystal vine shooting out.
Poison Generation I was fully activated as, like a small pinpoint needle, the crystal vine sank in a few inches and released a river's worth of poison into the body of Amos.
Poison that was tremendously empowered compared to before as currently…there were 89 dazzling Meridians that only Achilles could see vibrating in his body!
What could a Lesser Meridian Transformation Advanced Human do against it?
The moment Amos noticed it, he felt immense rising pain on his leg as by the time he looked down, a horrid greening color was traveling up his leg and crossing his thigh, rapidly spilling into his stomach before it spread across all other parts of his body in seconds!
In seconds, his skin turned a shade of poisonous green as it began to split and crack, decay spreading rapidly as by the time he even began to scream in horror, his brain was already filled with poison as his neurons stopped firing, his makeup melting rapidly as skin and muscle sloughed off entirely.
To the horror of those nearby, Amos' body simply became filled with green before it broke down and became a puddle of messy gore soon after.
"They threatened me!"
Cries echoed out nearby as silently, a transparent vine pulled away to focus on assimilating more Primordial Corrupted Crystals as the battle between the terrifying weapon of the Lunaris Colony Overseers and the Avatar of the Ancient Satyr, Julbocken, was gradually nearing its end as the latter bellowed out.
"Fine! FINE! You forced me this far, you shall at least pay a price worthy of this Avatar. And then...just wait for me to truly arrive! Flute…of Madness!"
A manic dissonance of a sound began to spread as, in the hands of the Avatar of the Ancient Satyr, a crimson gold Flute appeared.
It pulsed with heavy waves of Primordial Corrupted Energy as the moment it came out…
[An attack with high potential mass lethality had been initiated. Proceeding to terminate target.]
Her two hands came together as the nine stars above her head spun, and a blinding purple light that many would not be able to forget erupted out.
In the surroundings, the skies quivered as the earth quaked, a Satyr beginning to dance in the skies even with its wings clipped while a devastating attack was released from a terrifying weapon.
The Flute of Madness.
Its soundwaves spread out nearby as any who heard it…felt their energies run amok as they began to dance.
Their expressions constantly shifted from those of sadness, happiness, anger, and madness as they danced to a horrid tune, and no matter what they did- their bodies did not listen to them!
The more the soundwaves spread, the more people that were affected as even though it took a bit over a second before the terrifying purple brilliance shot out by Andromeda reached the Ancient Satyr- many were still affected!
A blinding impact akin to the explosion of a purple sun spread out, anything nearby being flung back as even Meridian Transformation Advanced Humans at a far distance were flung back like body bags.
Many were injured, but even with broken limbs and torn skin bleeding all around…they all rose up and continued to dance with expressions of madness on their faces!
They weren't the only ones affected as even the Ethereal Physiology Masters from the Lunaris Colony Overseers could be seen moving their bodies in sequences, but they were at least able to control their expressions as they showed astonished and enraged faces.
Andromeda confirmed all of this while she voiced out as she looked at a scorched Avatar with half of its body disintegrated, flute still in hand.
[Target, Avatar of the Ancient Satyr, Julbocken, has been neutralized.]
[An area of effect curse had been applied to all Lifeforms in the containment area, with the range estimated to be 2 miles in diameter. Affected lifeforms are observed to be experiencing a leakage of their energy as they uncontrollably laugh and cry while performing dissonant movements. Awaiting further orders.]
A heavy battle ended, but in its wake, a unique phenomenon unfolded.
Far from here, on the invisible Fort floating in the skies- Fort Cape of Hope.
Achilles followed Selene into a tall building filled with shining purple white walls, all parts of it screaming richness and complexity as near its perimeter, multiple Meridian Transformation Advanced Humans adorned in purple Evolutius Suits stood guard!
As they passed through multiple entrances that required Lunarian Enforcer Selene to scan her hand and energy signature, they were crossing through a silent hallway when Achilles heard the words of Andromeda in the earpiece, which caused the expression of Selene to flicker.
"The battle in the Titan District of Neon has ended, but not without some unforeseen effects. It will be dealt with later as for now…"
Massive reinforced metal doors clicked and unwound before them as they opened and released bursts of pressure, eventually opening to reveal a wide area akin to a vast warehouse.
Rings of transparent glass covered everything in the outer periphery as they contained a singular object of wonder at the center.
Protected by cylinders of glass, a dazzling, massive Evolutius Crystal the size of a two story building could be seen at the very center- the figure of a woman in a lab coat surrounded by two robotic humanoid entities to her left and right turning around to see them at this moment as she pushed her glasses up, her vibrant voice echoing out as Achilles recognized it to be the one that had been speaking into Selene's earpiece this whole time!
