"Who are you, witch?! My lord! A voice speaks to ! A woman's voice I have never heard before! Her voice sounds demonic!"
"This is my adjutant. Her na is Exa. Sheath your weapon, Phantom, before I make you. Exa is one of my most trusted allies, I will not allow you to insult her," I said through clenched teeth.
Hearing my words, Gareth quickly disard and bowed to , "Please forgive my mistake, my lord. Lady Exa, I apologize for my remarks."
"It is alright. I am also partly to bla for not ntioning her. Exa, instruct Gareth. I need to get back to the Sirens."
"{In the na of Limitless}." X2
Two more people invoked my {Kist}. I nodded at them before facing towards the Sirens once more. I changed my mind setting to [Commander] and took control of so of the drones. As soon as I did, I saw how the Sirens waged war.
"HELLSEND MONSTER DIVISION! FORWARD! AYEYEYE!!!"
Jo shouted a tribal war cry as she ran forward with her SCAR-H battle rifle. With her were more than 200 monsters. The larger Bearn carried chainsaws, the smaller Hobbits and Fishn marched with propane tanks.
As if that were not enough, there were so badly injured Lizardkin, also part of Jo's monster army. They clashed with the other reptilian warriors like knights in heavy armor. Without remorse, the giant reptiles skewered each other dead.
The rank Es Jo collected were helplessly cut down by the more powerful rank Ds. I couldn't sll it, but the air was distorted as the tanks were ripped open. Whenever one did, Jo fired a round at the tank, creating a spark.
More powerful than grenades, even the lizardkin were dismbered by the chaotic explosions. But I got the feeling that such tactics were only for my Italian's amusent.
Jo's weapon had such a powerful punch that she could kill them without such tricks. She was actually just shooting lizardkin in random places, but all of them fell dead without exception.
'She must be shooting their soulgems,' I guessed.
In the sa area as Jo, a white-haired streak flickered in and out of the battlefield. She would appear, shoot a propane tank, and disappear the next second.
If you didn't follow her movents, you wouldn't even know that half of the massive explosions were caused by this deviant.
The speed at which Robyn moved was even faster than {Blink}.
Lilly's {Fate} required a cool down period. This made it impossible for or even her to teleport repeatedly in the sa minute.
'Kitten, how do you do that?'
'Oh! Hi, Possum! You an the phasing thing? It's my new soulgear. {Fade}. Allows to slip through space.
It is faster than Lilly's {Blink}. And I can even use it to dodge attacks! Look!'
As she talked to , my Aussie ran along the back of a Lizardkin up to its head. She then slamd the business end of the AA-12 into its right eye and fired.
To describe the aftermath as an explosion was an understatent. Like a blender whose lid had suddenly been removed, blood and ichor blasted outward. Horrible screams rang out as the lizardkin scread in agony.
Halberds flew at Robyn from the other Lizardkin. But she didn't move and simply faded out of existence. After the spears had all passed her position, she reappeared.
"{I COMMAND YOUR UGLY ASS! KILL THE OTHER CUNTS}!"
Shouting a death resonance along with {Announce}, the lizard child with half a face robotically picked up its halberd and charged at its forr allies.
Hidden by the monster's charge, Robyn vanished and appeared beneath another Lizardkin. She stuck her weapon under its chin and blew its jaw off. Only then did she force the monster to change sides.
Simple, brutal and effective. The speed at which Robyn turned the Lizardkin was faster than the speed at which they could kill each other.

I even saw her pick up a Lizardkin by its tail, then smash it into a group of Rank Fs in irritation. Even without {Crush}, the Rank Ds were like wrecking balls. Despite being outgunned and outnumbered, my kitten was the dominant force.
'You are so fucking cool, Kitten!'
'Of course I am! I am your Sheila after all!' she boasted with pride.
'Exa, which Reaper did {Fade} co from? Was it from my Seeker War? When did Robyn get it?'
[According to my records, it ca from Elliot Poole aka Vanish. Lady Robyn had his soulgem turned into the cat's ear headband she wears.]
I see, so his {fate} was not just about speed, but literally slipping through space. It was a miracle I was able to kill him.
Convinced that Jo and Robyn no longer needed my help, I looked for the other Sirens.
On another side of the battlefield, a headless Cyclopes flattening the Lizardkin with its feet and club. This monster was the only one was still standing.
The other two were sprawled nearby on the ground, covered with halberds. around their mangled corpses were dozens of lizardkin pulverized into puddles.
Sounds of battle rang out a few ters away. An M2 Bradley was firing TOW missiles and 25mm high explosive incendiary rounds like there was no tomorrow.
Flanking the IFV were three Ripsaw M5s and forty MAARs. Switchblades rained down on anyone who could get close. Unlike small arms, my AI children had no trouble blasting holes into whatever got in their sights.
Bunched together, Bella's soulless army was like a wall of lead pushing back the horrors of Hellsgate. As Minverva hand everything under control, I looked for Lilly next.
I found her dancing, surrounded by a large group of over a hundred Lizardkin. She gracefully shot the monsters with her Minigun as bullets the size of cars crushed the reptiles into dust.
There were about twenty of them. And they behaved like Lilly's faithful dogs. Each bullet raced through, obliterating everything in its path. Only to enter a subspace doorway and be rerouted by another {Portal}.
And when the giant bullets lost their montum, they suddenly shrank. In the sa second, another bullet would grow in its place and resu its defense.
As I watched, I saw that even as she wielded the giant bullets, Lilly never stopped firing her M134D minigun.
The swarms of 7.62 NATO that speed around her looked like tallic dragons. Like lead serpents they decimated the reptiles around them along with the gigantic bullets.
Like the goddess of ammunition, Lilly tore and shredded everything that tried to co near her. Her hand controlled each bullet like a maestro of death.
Annihilation was all that awaited anything that joined her performance.
'Dearest, you look magnificent,' I praised.
'Do you like it? This is a waltz I created just for you, my dear. I must thank you for getting {Magnitude} for . Benjamin McDonald was a fool for not realizing how powerful his own {Fate} was.'
Who? I couldn't even accept her thanks because I had no idea who she was talking about. Fortunately, Exa ca to my rescue.
[Benjamin McDonald was one of the Wraiths who died in your Seeker War. His {Fate} was mislabeled as {Shrink}. He was the reason Savior was able to smuggle in the undead and monster corpses for the Machiavelli. {Magnitude} has been remade into the choker around Lady Lilly's neck.]
Pleased that my plunder was helping my girls, I happily replied to Lilly.
'I am glad you found a soulgear that fits you so well, my dearest. I would have fought the Saviors for it, just to see you smile.'
Embarrassnt and joy ca from the Arican princess' link.
'Dearest, your re presence throws my heart into chaos. Stop seducing and check on the others. I do not need assistance.'
'Okay, dear, stay safe. I love you.'
'Fine! I love you too!'
With four of my girls kicking ass without the slightest danger, I quickly searched for Liv, Jas and Aki. Just like the other Sirens, all I had to do was follow the trail of bodies.
I hadn't found Jas and Liv yet, but I gasped in surprise when I saw my Japanese lover. Like the others, she was fighting with a Soulgear she had acquired from my Seeker War.
It was sothing I almost died for. But in her hands, it was even more terrifying. And now, Aki showed what the Bladed Kitsune could really do.
"How ridiculous. My girls really are amazing!"
