The hivemind is conquering for me?-Chapter 413: The Hive’s Cosmic Horror
"I am going to kill her! Decades of loyalty, only to be tossed aside by inebriation and Apollo proximity! Keyla! Go and collect her now!" Sophia ordered. She used her best people tracker instinctively, forgetting the personality of said individual.
Keyla said nothing and just ran off, a laugh threatening to break through her mouth. She could stop party planning and go out for a night with Apollo? "Fuck yeah!" She thought to herself, never going to have enough Apollo time for as long as she drew breath.
"Sophia, calm down. Apollo is safe and sound is he not? Let him have his fun. It's not his fault he doesn't know about the party is it? If he knew, he would come running back right away." Onyx said, trying to cool the bio-cultist before her, causing Sophia to take her second form and squaring up to Onyx.
"Apollo can do as he pleases! It's that bitch Delilah I am clearly mad at! She has never let me down and now she is being a bad girl! She is going to be punished!"
*Thud*
Something just tapped against Sophia's hoof, causing her to look down. 'Hmm. What is that?'
…
The master tried to leave it behind again. It understood its master's wish, It knew it was divine material after all. It knew it was special. But its master needed protection. That was why it snuck onto the master's ship and hid. It could not smell, but it could sense it. The horny. This galaxy was full of it. The master was in danger!
Under no fault of the master, he had even initiated the horny a few times in its presence. It knew it was not the master's fault. It was a tempting corruption unlike no other. He had been exposed from a young age after all. The rod tried its best, but was not as strong back then; It was only able to ward the horny away for a short time before it returned.
But it grew powerful for its master. It had to protect the master. It developed its cleansing flame for the master after all. It even prevented a horny plot against the master from the giant practitioner who thought it had resisted its might after all...
Judging from the nest of the master's horny delinquents, the master was in trouble of being exposed to a rogue horny. THIS COULD NOT STAND! The leader of this faction, it would forgive their horny for a moment, only a moment and when the time was right, it would return to its master, protecting him from the horny of the universe!
FOR IT WAS THE STICKS DIVINE PURPOSE!
...
"AAH!" Onyx screamed, petrified of the sudden appearance of the hive's greatest mistake. There were not many things that scared her, mostly relating to bad visions that included Apollo, but the dreaded stick jump scaring her when she thought it was galaxies away was enough."
Sophia looked at Onyx like she had seen something she would never see again and looked back at the rod on the ground. As she picked up the metal rod, she looked around, confused why Onyx screamed at its presence.
Orchid who naturally looked over at hearing the Stalker scream had her blood return to a cold state after eighteen years. She cared little for the thousands of balloons she had pumped up and ran away.
Without Apollo present to reign that thing in, she was taking no chances! " What has you worked up?" Sophia asked curiously, causing Onyx to back up as Sophia used to rod to point."
"Sophia, put the thing down! That. That's the stick." Sophia's face scrunched up in confusion as Onyx looked at the rod in her hands like it was a cosmic horror. Suddenly upon hearing this, Kathrine, who had taken over décor because ,as she lovingly put it, 'These aliens don't know shit about decorating.' Walked over and said.
"Oh wow. That's the stick? Apollo told me about it. He said-OWWW!" "AAAAHHH IT BURNS!" The tip of Kathrine's finger was set alight and Onyx used her power to put it out immediately, despite her fear of the flames, as she and Kathrine were Apollo's property after all.
As Kathrine curled over her finger, crying at the pain, Sophia looked at the thing in her hand with curiosity. Instead of fear, she felt curious as to why it was not affecting her? Onyx suddenly saw a twinkle in Sophia's eye. A look she didn't need foresight to predict was dangerous.
As though she manifested evil, the rod suddenly flamed up, reality around it shattering in places, causing random effects and flames to sprout out around the rod as well as engulfing its body.
Sophia was still not affected by the flames however, well, not physically. A coldness engulfed her brain, almost all emotions gone. All that remained was a deep longstanding and slightly manic love for her Apollo and disgust for everyone around her. Her cult.
"YOU!" She screamed towards a cultist who was walking by and scurried over towards her. "M-Mother Sophia?" The young woman asked nervously, feeling the coldness emanating from Sophia's link.
"You had a naughty dream about Apollo two nights ago! This act cannot go unpunished!"
*BONK*
Without warning, Sophia struck out with the stick with just enough force that the crime dictated.
The woman collapsed to the ground with a wail, experiencing a sharp pain that was indescribable. The closest she could put together in her fraction of thought before she went unconscious was like her existence was knocked out of her skull for mere moments...
Everyone underground suddenly went deathly silent. Mother just attacked one of her children... With a coldness different from her usual coldness. All of a sudden, the outer family stalker suddenly yelled to them all. "RUN! She is possessed by the Concept of the stick!"
None of the cultists knew what that meant of course, but the tone in which the stalker spoke was enough to know it was bad.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
...
"Huh." Jinx muttered after she slammed on the brakes, nearly sending Lele through the windscreen if she didn't catch her mid-flight. Jinx then put the girl down in the passenger seat and explained her sudden halt, in the middle of a road, ignoring the horns.
"Change of plans Lele, It looks like mother dearest has finally gone senile. We are going to wait for Apollo to come back before we go. I have a house nearby, we can crash there until it's safe aaand~ hold on one moment." Jinx said cutely as she stepped out of the vehicle.
She then calmly walked up to the vehicle that just hurled an insult at her as it parked next to her. And then kicked with all her might, sending the vehicle crushing through a dozen passer-by's and into a small food place.
She then yelled over to the vehicle that was now upside down and a wreck. "I am sorry, I didn't hear you? Did you insult me? Surely not right? Don't worry about it, I'll just let you off with a warning... WHAT!" She then screamed at the nearby onlookers with a slight deranged look on her face, causing everyone to go about their business with haste. There were plenty of crazy down in the south, even in the neutral zone, and these people knew, you don't fuck with crazy unless you have a death wish.
After getting back in the car, Jinx ignored the slightly increased breathing speed of Lele. 'She is pretty decent at hiding her fear' She thought to herself before suppressing her urge to salivate. 'Though her smell is divine... Why did I say I would introduce her to my family? Ugh, Sophia already approved before the loose screw, I could have eaten her now instead...
"Ooh, I am starving. What do you fancy Lele? Anything you want. Name it and we will get it." Lele looked at Jinx, once more wondering if this was a test. Deciding to roll with the pattern of it not actually being a test, Lele's mouth watered as she suddenly thought of her favourite food... She hadn't had it in what felt like so long after all.
"Can, can we have a burger? Please?" Jinx, totally unfazed by the gigantic puppy eyes on Lele's face turned her head up in thought. 'Do I fancy that? Meh, not really, I fancy Lele after all, but I guess special burgers will hit the spot'
Alright then, burgers it is. I know a good spot a couple of miles away that will just blow you away, my friend works there so she will hook us up with the good stuff."
…
After asking the hostess where the nearest fast food joint was, she said that if it was ok with us, we could have it ordered here, that way we could continue to drink while we waited for the food.
The Women in my presence acted like the hostess spoke scripture as they got excited. "Do you know where you want it from? I will send someone out to get it for you all." Before I could even ask the two women, I was suddenly flung away by Zeona as she began screaming at the hostess.
"I want two number nines, a number nine large..."
