Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse-Chapter 147 Hyperion

"Oh, well, I guesss that isss okay," Meckel said, looking dejected, and I sighed.

Meckel slithered over to get closer to me, but I didn't move away. That would only antagonize her further, and I had been doing a pretty good job of keeping away from her.

Now, she had the chance to get close to me, and Meckel was taking full advantage of it.

"Okay, let's go see this movie," I said, and Anya grabbed my hand to start dragging me off stage, away from Meckel.

The rest of the group followed, and I could see the Systems users leaving the forest in almost every direction. Some of them were using the grass, while others were flying or using their own form of transportation.

"Amazing to see that you were able to get everyone together and sorted in such a short amount of time," Angelise said as she walked to stand beside me with Meckel and Cyndia on my right side.

Name: Angelise

Race: Annokale

Height: 5'9

Eye Color: Blue

Hair: long Platinum blonde that runs down to the bottom of her ass cheeks

Description: Stoic, loyal, and formal. Angelise is the type of woman that has strong convictions when finding a mate but has a soft spot for men with strength. More importantly, ones that can defeat her in battle.

System: Valkyrie System

Abilities: The System buffs speed, strength, and spear skills. The most significant buff is Angelise's jumping ability.

"There is still a lot to do. This was the easy part of the task before us," I sighed, and Angelise nodded.

"Yes, but you seem to be taking care of things and directing everyone quite well. I can see why your women have such faith in you," Angelise explained. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

"We have faith because we know that he can handle whatever is thrown at him!" Katie cheered, and I tried not to groan.

"You don't think you can handle it?" Meckel asked.

The grass was pulling us now, but I didn't answer right away. This was frustrating.

Why did it have to be the worst one of them all to ask the best question? I had no choice but to answer her.

"No, I don't. I think that I can deal with Calishora and possibly the Gideon, but they are coming with armies. That means I need troops to be able to stop them. While the humans here have no experience with the Drakar or Gideons, you Annokale have fought with them before," I explained and then asked. "Did you ever beat them?"

"Beat? No, they were too strong and numerous, but the problem is that they don't usually fight. Both races would sooner use people from the world they attack. Each race has a type of mind control device that they used to enslave other races," Angelise explained.

"This is my point. None of you can even come close to beating me as I am right now, but I am not much stronger than a Draco or mechs that the Gideons use. That means that none of you can help me defend earth," I explained, but it felt like I was talking to myself.

"Well, we can get stronger, but we still have almost three months until the Darkar gets here, right?! That gives us a lot more time than we had before we had to fight, right?" Anya asked, but I shook my head.

"No, we only have a time frame and the direction that they were coming from. I can no longer track them because they have jumped closer, and now I don't know where they are. The three months is an estimate, so they could show up in two months, or even tomorrow, I don't know. We can't be waiting around for them to come. We need to be ready, and I need to get this planet ready to move. I don't know if you all realize, but this is something that has never been done before by people that didn't have thousands of years to prepare!" I snapped, and everyone went quiet. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

I didn't like snapping like this, but no one seemed to get it. They understood what was coming, but it was like they just couldn't grasp what it meant for us.

"I guess if you want to go to work, we can all just go to the movies without you. I am sure that there will be time in the future," Anya said quietly, digging into my heart.

I knew that the girls just wanted to spend some time with me, and to them, I was just acting like I normally did when I got involved with a project. I hyper-focus on things until the task is done, but the girls are used to coming in and distracting me.

Usually, this would be a welcome distraction because I was creating a website or working on new products to sell. Not trying to keep us from being exterminated, but that part didn't seem to matter, and I was just a jerk that didn't spend time with them.

"No, we will do this, but I need everyone working tomorrow and not trying to avoid work to go do other projects, Chelsea," I said, and she tried to hide behind Firaga and Gaia.

"I promise that I will work on my training tomorrow and leave the games alone!" Chelsea yelped.

"Speaking of training. You need to come and stop by the R&D Great Tree," Sofia said, and I gave her a raised eyebrow.

"What do you have going on there?" I asked.

"New clones and some special armor suits. They are made from some systeminium and then grown. The suit acts like a second skin, but it will make normal people a lot stronger in clones, but it isn't perfect yet," Sofia explained, and then asked, "Have you figured out what is blocking the electricity yet?"

"Yes, and no. I figured out what blocks it, but the only way to get rid of it is to find it. It should be an easy thing since Octavia placed it, but it is a locked System that is causing it. Again, I control the Systems, so I should be able to get into it easily, but it was never meant to be touched after placing it, and the System is untraceable. Octavia is trying to find it, and that is her only job at the moment because this restricts us on what we can do," I explained, and Sofia sighed, nodding.

"I thought it must be something like that, or you would have fixed the problem already," Sofia said.

"If you can try to help her, that might get the ball rolling. Once I can find it, then I can go up and deactivate it. After that, we can get some old things up and running, like our phones. We are going to need them for when the attack comes," I explained, and Sofia nodded.

"Yes, or at least until you can connect everyone and the world with your trees. We can already use them to talk to anyone else that is connected to them. The problem is that you don't have enough power to cover the whole world yet," Sofia explained, but we were finally getting to the theater.

"Well, we can talk about this more tomorrow; for now, let's enjoy the movie. What are we going to watch or what book is going to be on the big screen? Hopefully, a good light novel, right?" I asked as we stepped off the grass and started to walk up to the entrance.

"Hyperion..." Anya said with her voice trailing off, and I turned to look at her in shock.

"You're joking, right? Have you even read that book?!" I asked with wide eyes.

Hyperion was the story of a bunch of people traveling to the planet Hyperion to get a wish granted by a horrific creature known as the Shrike. Each of the people tells their story of why they are on the journey, but the story just had gotten more twisted after each person's tale.

"Dad said it was an excellent book, so I figured that you two would have similar tastes, right?" Anya asked hesitantly, and I facepalmed.

"Hyperion was a great book, but not something that should ever see the light of day when it comes to movies! I mean, I am pretty interested to know your father's view of the Shrike, but this movie is going to give everyone nightmares, and it's not even scary," I sighed.

"Well, next time, you should be there to tell me what books to do!" Anya complained, and I grinned, pulling her into a kiss.

"I am sure that it will be good. I am more worried about you all. Even reading the book, there are some things that I can't unsee, even though it was only created in my mind," I laughed.

"I think that we will all be just fine. We have you to protect usss, after all," Meckel said, and I turned to look at her.

"I am not sure if I will be much help," I chuckled.

"You are more than enough help, and we all know it. Now, let usss go and sssee this movie thing that you all talk about," Meckel said, coming over to try and take my arm, but Anya grabbed and pulled me with her.

"Mine," Anya said possessively, and Meckel pouted.

"I sssuppossse that I can sssee the movie another time," Meckel said, and I smiled.

"I am sure that we can all go see it together. It will be fun," I said, and Meckel's face lit up.

"Really?!" Meckel asked, and I groaned.

"Yes, really. Now let's go," I said, and Meckel squealed as she slithered into the theater.

I sighed and shook my head as we followed her. I had a feeling that this was going to be a long movie.
