Harem Reborn

Chapter 279: Big Robot Be Damned

[Day 13/1825 on The Godless Green Earth A.I World]

Ten days had passed since the girls passed, and things had changed dramatically. To say that it looked different around the coast was a gross understatement.

Our base of operation had spread out wide and now there were five sectors around the center structure in the middle. The building looked like a glass mountain, something that came after four days, fire.

It had activated once I had hit five thousand Gi and with it and sand I was able to make deadly defenses, beautiful structures, and a spaceship! Once I gained the fire and learned to make glass structures, I was awarded a glass skill that upgraded into crystal, and then Transparite. 

That was just the name for it, but I could create two fencing swords, and they could not be broken or even marked. So, I had created a micro-mesh glass dome to act as a shield. To the naked eye, it would just look like normal glass, and that's all that mattered to our people.

The four of us were floating up above the dome, the way Gripton designed the game flowed well. Now, thanks mostly to Grace's hard work to find everyone a place to go, and now everyone was acting much different.

"Are you all ready to go down and see everyone? It's almost time, ten minutes until we hit max Gi and we step into the next level."

"Too bad all the humans ran and hid, but that just means we can cripple them all, wreck their bases and make them come to use if they want to play that way. Or we just leave them and concentrate on MTK; do you think you can even beat him, I mean with this next boost?" Grace asked me as we floated down.

"I don't think so, but that's counting your chickens before they hatch. No, there are less than ten minutes left, let's just leave the wild speculation alone for now. The humans are a different story; they haven't bothered us and we have started to have kids, so that's on the way."

"THEY have been allowed to have kids!" Mikota complained while rubbing her belly.

"Hey! What did I tell you? Do you want to stay here and raise that kid without me? I am hoping that we will be able to bring him or her with us if we keep them in incubation inside of your womb."

We were finally back down on the ground. The meter in my HUD read nine thousand nine hundred and eighty-eight, so we needed to pull the pin out and get going. I spent us along to the plaza that was up ahead and we had a long water fountain that parents and kids were sitting around.

One of the funniest things was to see everyone in different basic clothing. When I looked around at people, I had to remember what the face of each was or stare into their eyes. Almost all had their stripes covered, but now that they all were developing personalities, It was easier to tell people apart.

Before, everyone just had the same looks and expressions. Now they were happy and smiling, making it easier to tell them apart. Plus, the fact that they stuck to one style of clothes helped. 

Each person had a specific look that they stuck with, but that's what made them individuals. I settled down in front of them, and the last bit of Gi finally filled up.

[Primal Evolution] Activated!

[Primal Evolution] Completed!

[Total Gi] 10002/100000max

That was anticlimactic, but I did feel stronger, but no other dramatic changes, but there was an explosion. Of course, there was, things had been going far too smoothly with the WorldBreakers lately, and I had even fallen into the fashion of calling them humans again.

"Arm the battle stations, everyone, we have prepared for this!" Grace called out to the panicking people, and they started to listen and head off in the direction needed. 

I had spent a great number of points into the Earth Cannons, so I was looking forward to seeing them in action. I had decided that I would focus on more of a tower defense than the standard RTS strategy. 

I had modified the landscape to create a maze of paths that had towers perched up high to rain down on the enemy troops. I had also created glass shards everywhere like swords to stop ground troops.

"Dave, I have bad news," Gripton said from out of nowhere.

No one jumped, or screamed, this was normal, but I didn't like the sound of bad news.

"What kind of bad news?"

"The bad kind, but it is partially what you wanted, just not WITHIN FIFTEEN DAYS OF COMING HERE! MTK is here and controlling the humans already. I wasn't able to detect him coming into earth's orbit or even leave Mars! I think that this MTK might be a lot more advanced than the one you fought," Gripton said with a worried look.

Oh, this was great, if he was here controlling the human then that meant that he would have improved them dramatically. This wasn't good; it was like starting at round thirty with level ten defenses.

"Will I get Gi from killing them?" I asked Gripton.

"Yes, you should get quite a bit, but you probably won't survive the first round. No, you will have to defeat all the waves that he sends. Only then with you be able to challenge him, if you survive," Gripton said, still looking worried and doubtful.

"Fine I will have to help with the first wave, but will there be a breather between waves?" I asked.

"Yes, you will only have one battle a day, but I have no idea how many troops will be sent with each wave. Be careful out there, the Galaxsor Techknowledge is the race we built to dominate remember, so don't be surprised if they are grossly overpowered."

"This is all your fault, you know that right? You should be the one down here fighting them, not me! Bah, just make sure and help keep everyone safe while I go tune in MTK."

I turned to Mikota and Tequila, smiling at both of them, and then walking off to get a kiss from each.

"Please go wait at central, that is the safest place for you, and I don't want to have to worry about you two while I'm trying to fight okay?" I asked them before leaving.

"Oh, don't worry, Tequila has said enough about the Major to know that this isn't playtime, but please be careful like the old pervert says and don't get killed," Mikota said with a smile.

"Just come back to us," Tequila said, coming in for another kiss.

"Don't worry, I don't make a habit of losing. MTK might be stronger, but this will be primal versus technological, so we will see."

I floated away from the girls, giving off a front of calmness, but the look Gripton was giving me said that I was going to be anything. I had no idea what I was going up against, but if they were already running the course to get here, the towers should have taken down at least one of them. 

Yet, my points had barely changed; just the standard amount that I would normally get. Maybe they were stuck somewhere and couldn't get through? That's funny, more like they were just walking all over my defense, and the weapons that were there were having no effect.

I had to hurry, I didn't want them getting too close, so I shot forward and out of the dome, flying fast into the maze. It only took about five minutes of flying before I could hear the crashing of glass and the sounds of the Earth Cannons firing off massive rocks, but there were so few.

What was going on? Then another one stopped firing and I raced forward. When I turned the corner, I froze in mid-air. 

Ahead of me was a thirty-meter talk yet black humanoid robot holding one of my Earth Cannons in its hand. I would have been furious, but I was extra-cautious and made sure that all the cannons could be controlled from the inside of the dome. I was glad that I had been extra paranoid, or people would have been dead now. 

The massive robot looked down at me and then started to laugh. I mean like haha laugh like a crazy person, I didn't appreciate the way he was laughing at me, so I clapped my hands together.

Big robot be damned, I slammed two ten-meter wide sections of the fifty-meter tall walls together. They smashed the big black monstrosity of a robot into little pieces, but those little pieces WERE MORE ROBOTS! 

I was starting to get flashbacks of the golem fight again and I sighed. How many more days of this did I have to go?
