The words echoed through the ruined streets, a stark reminder of the machine's ruthless efficiency. From a safe distance, Rex sat up, coughing as he wiped the rain from his face. His claymores lay discarded beside him, and his white wings flickered weakly as he struggled to his feet. "Damn, " he muttered, staring at the Mauler Unit as it stood over the smoldering remains of the creatures. "And I thought I was overkill." The Mauler Unit didn't react to his words. It simply turned, its massive frame moving with eerie precision, and began its slow march back to Cleo and Carlos's location. Rex stood amidst the destroyed battlefield, his eyes drawn to the sky. The massive black bird, still writhing as it tried to stay airborne, was being pursued relentlessly by several Wraith-class fighters. Their sleek, predatory forms zipped through the storm, trailing the monstrous bird like wolves hunting wounded prey. Lightning flashed, illuminating the scene as one of the fighters broke formation and launched a missile unlike anything Rex had seen before. It didn't explode upon contact. Instead, the missile expanded into a swirling black void, an artificial black hole. The bird let out an ear-piercing screech as the black hole consumed a large chunk of its abdomen and tore away one of its wings. The monstrous creature spun uncontrollably, spiraling downward before crashing into the ground with a deafening boom. The impact shattered the earth, sending debris and smoke billowing into the air. As the dust settled, one of the Wraith-class fighters descended, hovering just above the downed creature. A bomb dropped from its underbelly, a sleek metallic device that seemed unassuming at first. But when it touched the regenerating bird's body, it ignited into a blazing inferno, forming a fiery mushroom cloud that lit up the stormy sky. The heat was so intense that the bird's flesh evaporated into ash within seconds, leaving nothing behind but a charred crater in the earth. Rex sniffed the air, wrinkling his nose as the scent of burned meat wafted toward him. He chuckled, wiping the rain from his face . "Funny enough, it does smell like chicken," he muttered, his voice tinged with exhausted humor. Activating his communicator, he pressed a button on his neckpiece. " Cleo, the enemies on my side have been dealt with. I'm heading to the extraction point." Cleo's voice came through, as calm and composed as ever . "Understood. We'll rendezvous in the underground city." In her own zone, Cleo stood with a collection of test tubes in hand, filled with samples from the massive beast she had defeated. She glanced at the still-twitching body of the creature as the Aegis units surrounded it, their weapons at the ready. "Kill it," she ordered flatly, sliding the test tubes into her belt pouch. "It's no longer useful." At her command, the Aegis units unleashed a storm of firepower. Their plasma rifles tore through the creature's body, filling it with glowing holes as the heat burned through flesh and bone. The beast let out one final, low groan before collapsing completely, its regenerative abilities overwhelmed by the onslaught. Satisfied, Cleo climbed into the car, where Carlos was waiting at the wheel. The two began their drive back to the underground city. Behind them, the Aegis units deployed swarms of jamming drones around the battlefield, ensuring that no curious reporters or civilians would be able to investigate what had occurred there. A heavy transport ship descended from the clouds, its engines rumbling as it approached the Mauler Unit. Massive mechanical clamps extended from its belly, locking onto the Mauler and hoisting it aboard before retreating back toward Cleo main ship in orbit. Meanwhile, in the city, the chaos was far from over. Firefighters, rescue teams, and local guards swarmed the streets, working tirelessly to contain the damage left in the wake of the battle. News stations arrived in droves, their cameras capturing the destruction and speculation running rampant about what had transpired. Back at the mansion, the silence was broken. Before, his aura had been a soft, white mist, calm and steady, enveloping him like a quiet, protective glow. But now... it was something far more intense. The aura had taken on a massive, humanoid form, a towering figure of brilliant white, with eyes that shimmered like stars, exuding a presence that felt almost divine. But what unsettled Ys most was the way the aura flickered. From time to time, the radiant white shifted, darkened, and became pitch black. The transformation was brief, but in those moments, the figure became a terrifying void, radiating an otherworldly power that sent shivers through her core. For the first time in her life, Ys felt a twinge of fear when looking at Rex. But then, his familiar, warm voice broke through her thoughts, pulling her back to reality. "Ys! You're finally awake!" Rex said, his usual grin spreading across his face as he stepped toward her, oblivious to what she had just seen. He reached out and ruffled her light green hair affectionately. "I missed you, little devil. I thought you were going to sleep longer." The sound of his voice, the warmth in his tone, it melted away the unease that had gripped her moments before. Ys blinked and shook her head, brushing the strange vision aside. Whatever changes had occurred in Rex, she reminded herself that she was his wife, and no matter how much his power grew or how frightening it seemed, it wouldn't change the bond they shared. "Hehe~, missed me that much, huh?" Ys said, her playful nature quickly resurfacing as she smiled up at him, ignoring the lingering tremor in her chest. "Of course I did," Rex replied, his grin softening. "My back got so used to you being there 24/7. After you went to sleep, it felt... empty. Lonely, even." He rubbed the back of his neck with a sheepish laugh, his golden eyes glinting with affection. Ys tilted her head, her smile teasing as always. "Lonely without me~? How sweet. I didn't think you'd be so sentimental." Rex chuckled. Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire "Don't let it go to your head, little devil. Anyway, enough of the mushy stuff. I was heading to the dining room to grab something to eat while waiting for the others. Wanna come?" He extended his hand toward her, his grin as inviting as ever. For a moment, Ys hesitated, her sharp mind still lingering on the strange, shifting aura she had seen moments earlier. But then she smiled, her soft, teasing expression returning as she placed her hand in his. "Sure," she said, her voice light and melodic. "Lead the way, darling." Together, they walked down the corridor, their footsteps echoing softly in the silence. Ys glanced at Rex out of the corner of her eye, her smile remaining steady even as questions began to swirl in her mind. Whatever had changed in Rex, she would find out eventually. But for now, she was content to let things be, to enjoy the quiet moment with him. After all, Rex was still Rex. And no matter how much power he wielded, or how his aura shifted between divine and monstrous, he was hers just as she was his. And that would never change.
