Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start-Chapter 1262: Don’t Trust Xenoids

-----

As Emilia was caught within the psychic powers of the Psychic Titan Xenoid, she unleashed her power, a massive, explosive shockwave of silver flames, shattering the psychic constructs into pieces as if they were made of pure glass.

BOOOMMM!!!

Her powerful attack generated a massive explosion, burning nearby Xenoids to ashes, and making the gigantic being in front of her agonize.

"GRUUUAAAGGH!"

The gigantic monstrosity screamed, the silver flames burning its tentacles wasn't a joke at all, it panicked, if it were to burn completely, despite how strong it was, it would simply have a quick and pathetic death, turned to cinders!

"I won't die so easily, filthy humaaannn!"

FLUOSH!

The Psychic Titan Xenoid quickly manifested a sphere of psychic power around its body, protecting itself from more damage. Its color was semi-transparent, with a pink and slightly purple color to it. It was strong enough to reflect the silver flames.

"You think you're strong?! Let's see what you will do if I do this then!"

The Psychic Titan Xenoid suddenly waved its tentacles, as Emilia's eyes widened as the monster pulled dozens of giant spheres of the same psychic power he was wielding, where machine warriors were trapped!

"Do you see these little pathetic humans?" laughed the Psychic Titan Xenoid. "If you don't step out of your robot right now, I will crush them, one by one!"

"W-What…?!"

She gasped in disbelief, realizing that the Xenoids had evolved to the point they were willing to take hostages to coerce her into surrendering.

"Help!"

"Someone… Someone help me!"

"What's going on?!"

"Emilia! Is that you?!"

She could hear their voices through the communication devices around her robot, her eyes widening as she realized they were all there, barely alive.

"That damn bastard alien! Who does he think he is?!" Bestellen roared angrily. "Don't believe him, Emilia! He's obviously just lying; he'll kill them either way. It's hopeless!"

"…"

Emilia remained in silence, she had never experienced such a thing before, becoming frozen as she was unable to cope with this, she didn't know what to even do.

"It seems you're indecisive…! Then let me show you I am being honest!"

The Psychic Titan Xenoid laughed, as it began to press the psychic energy around one of the machine warriors, the scream of someone inside reverberated.

Crack, crack…!

"Uuuaaaggh! S-Someone! Someone help meeee!"

Emilia's eyes widened.

"S-Stop…! STOOOP!"

She screamed in fury, rushing towards the Psychic Xenoid Titan, yet it was too late.

The psychic energy completely compressed within the bubble, crushing the robot and the pilot inside.

"Uuaaarrgghh!"

BOOOM!

The last thing she heard was an agonizing scream as the robot exploded, blood and mechanical parts filling the sphere, as it was opened and left for the smaller Xenoids to turn into a new Mimic.

"Do you understand now what I am trying to do?!" The Psychic Titan Xenoid roared. "Do you want to see all your friends die right now? Step out of your robot and give up your life! Only then they will be spared!"

"D-Do you promise?" Emilia asked. "Do it! Release them first and then…!"

"Do you think I am stupid? That trick is not going to work with me!" said the Psychic Titan Xenoid. "I am one a genius son of my father, Psychomind! I would never be easily played around by humans."

"Then what guarantees that you will do the same? That you will keep your word?!" Emilia asked angrily. "You all came here to kill us either way, what would you win by sparing them? you'll simply kill me and then them!"

Emilia wasn't stupid either, she realized the ploy, a very obvious one.

And yet…

"Oh? So you prefer to see them die in front of you instead?" the Xenoid laughed, asking her. "Are you sure?"

"E-Emilia! I don't want to die!"

"Wait a second…! Please reconsider this!"

"I-I am… I am ready to die! If it serves a purpose…"

"I have barely lived for a year! I-I haven't even tasted anything sweet other than an apple…"

The pilots were all clones, designed to be "disposable" by the Galactica Confederation, they grew up in just a year, being fed large quantities of information, and becoming ready to do their sole and single purpose, defend the mothership from threats.

Most of them had even yet to enjoy a full life, living for just a year and then dying felt miserable, and the majority wasn't willing to die like this, even though a few loyal ones were willing to sacrifice themselves for a greater cause.

"So? What do you choose? Trust me? Or let them die?"

"Emilia!"

Bestellen kept calling for her, but Emilia didn't quite know what to do, for one, the cries of her comrades made her want to do what she felt was correct.

But her brain told her that it would be pointless, and it would end with everyone dead… while the other choice ended with her alive.

"Bestellen…"

"Emilia?"

"Listen well, okay?"

"But…!"

"It's fine…"

"…"

Bestellen and Emilia had a chat as she took her decision.

The Psychic Titan Xenoid suddenly smiled, as he saw the robot approaching slowly, and Emilia's voice echoing from inside.

"I give up, I will give you my life, and you will free them and let them go, alive."

"It is a deal, a life for four, isn't that quite the bargain, human?"

CLAAANK!

The mechanical dragon opened, revealing Emilia's body covered on a spacesuit, as she floated towards the Psychic Titan Xenoid.

"Now, free them."

"A deal is a deal."

The Xenoid nodded, laughing, as the bubbles popped, and the machine warriors, with the pilots inside, began flying away.

Emilia was surprised, he kept his promise!

Despite how monstrous, perhaps the Xenoids weren't exactly… as barbaric as she imagined.

"You did it? You kept your promise…!"

"Heh… Hahaha… HAHAHAHAHA!"

Suddenly, gigantic tentacles wrapped around the robot machine, and then, rushed towards the machine warriors escaping.

"Did you think it would end so easily?! STUPID IDIOT! HUMANS EMOTIONS… THEY'RE SO EASILY EXPLOITABLE! GYAHAHAHAHA!"

"But you promised- UNGH?!

TRUUUM!

Emilia was quickly grasped within a hand made of psychic energy, slowly moving towards the Psychic Titan Xenoid's jaws.

"Promises? That is merely a tool to let your guard down, foolish humans. Inferior in every sense… only your machines help you survive. But without it, what are you but a sack of meat, blood, and bones? A small little snack, if anything!"

CRUUUNCH!
