The golden comet was Rex using his Emperor Halo, which made him blaze like a miniature sun. His wings left trails of light as he darted around the massive golem, his energy claymore carving glowing arcs through the mist. The sheer scale of the battle above was staggering; it was a clash of titans that made the ground tremble with every impact. {Emperor Class Cannon fully loaded, enemy locked on. Can I fire now, boss?} Mini Cleo's cheerful voice chirped in Rex's mind. She hovered in front of him with her tiny form glowing with energy as she prepared the devastating weapon. Rex's voice was calm but firm. {Do it.} Mini Cleo's grin widened as she clapped her hands together. [Firing in 3... 2... 1...] Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire The sky lit up as the Emperor Class Cannon unleashed its power. A beam of pure golden energy shot forth, so bright it burned away the mist in its path.@@@@ The beam struck the colossal golem square in the chest, piercing through its defenses like a hot knife through butter. For a moment, the battlefield fell silent as everyone watched in stunned awe. The golem let out a deafening roar while its glowing eyes flickered as it staggered backward. Then, with a final, earth-shaking crash, it collapsed, its massive form disintegrating into a cloud of dust and debris. The humans on the ground erupted into cheers with their morale soaring. The Paladin, however, remained focused. "Don't get distracted! We're not done yet!" he shouted while cleaving through another Harvester with a well-placed shockwave. Above, Rex hovered in the sky, his wings glowing faintly as he surveyed the battlefield. The golden light of the Emperor Halo began to dim since its energy was spent. Mini Cleo floated beside him with her tiny hands on her hips as she grinned proudly. "Not bad, huh, boss?" Rex allowed himself a small smile. "Not bad at all. But we're not done yet. Let's clean up the rest." {Lets go, boss! I also want to keep killing those little ugly beings!} Mini Cleo chirped with her tiny voice brimming with excitement. She materialized a pair of holographic sunglasses and perched herself on Rex's head, summoning a miniature minigun that spun to life with a high-pitched whir. {Hahah, this little beast,} Rex thought while shaking his head slightly. {I wonder if Cleo is also as silly as her but she's just hiding it?} Without wasting another moment, Rex dove from the sky like a golden meteor, slamming into the densest cluster of enemies. The impact sent shockwaves rippling outward while his energy-infused aura sliced through Harvesters and golems alike, reducing them to smoldering debris in an instant. The ground cracked beneath him, and the mist around him evaporated from the sheer heat of his descent. Meanwhile, Mini Cleo was having the time of her life while standing triumphantly on Rex's head. She unleashed a barrage of holographic bullets from her minigun. Though only Rex and Cleo could see the projectiles, the little AI didn't care. She giggled maniacally while her sunglasses glinted as she mowed down imaginary enemies. Rex decided not to ruin her fun and let her have her moment, focusing instead on the real threats around him. With each swing of his massive energy, Claymore, Rex carved through the enemy ranks like a scythe through wheat. Arcs of golden energy erupted from his blade, obliterating everything in their path. "Mini Cleo," Rex said while crouching down to examine the core, "do you think this counts as a beast core or a crystal ore? I mean, it came from a golem, basically a mountain made of minerals." {Mmmm, let me see...} Mini Cleo replied with her tiny form materializing on Rex's shoulder. She used his optical sensors to scan the core, her holographic eyes flickering as she analyzed the data. After a moment, she nodded decisively. {According to the data, it's definitely a beast core. Even if it's the size of a house.} Rex raised an eyebrow. "Well, that works. Call Cleo and tell her to send some frigates to haul this thing away. I'll stick around and guard it just in case." {It's done, Boss!} Mini Cleo chirped while her tiny hands typed on a holographic keyboard. {Oh, and by the way... there's movement around us. Lots of it.} Rex's eyes narrowed as Mini Cleo projected a minimap in front of him. Dozens of red dots were closing in, their movements deliberate and calculated. "Harvesters? Golems?" he asked while his hand instinctively tightened around the hilt of his energy claymore. {Negative, Boss!} Mini Cleo replied with her voice tinged with excitement. {They're moving too slowly to be mindless beasts. And get this... there are several Tier 3 Advanced cyborgs in their group. Should we scare them?} She grinned mischievously while summoning a holographic nuclear bomb that she hugged tightly with her tiny arms. Rex sighed while shaking his head. "You don't want to scare them.... you want to vaporize them, you little troublemaker. Let's not start a war we don't need. Activate the cloaking function and let's see what they're up to." {Roger that, Boss!} Mini Cleo said while snapping her fingers. A shimmering field of energy enveloped Rex, rendering him invisible to the naked eye. The minimap in front of him updated, showing the approaching figures in greater detail. The newcomers were a strange sight. They moved cautiously with their advanced cybernetic enhancements glinting in the dim light. Some carried heavy weapons, while others seemed to be scanning the area with sophisticated equipment. At the center of the group was a towering figure of a Tier 3 Advanced cyborg with a heavily armored frame and a glowing visor that obscured their face. Rex watched silently from his cloaked position, his white wings folded tightly against his back. Mini Cleo hovered beside him, her holographic form flickering faintly. {What do you think they want, Boss?} she whispered with her voice being barely audible.
