Chapter 355 [Calamity] (7)
[Human [God Eater (Captain)] Consumed]
[+25 to all Stats]
[[God Eater] devoured: 20/20]
"I think this is enough" - Cloud muttered as he noticed how the notification of [Transformation: Human (Partial)] had appeared on his retina - "Hmm, this might be useful, though I don't think it'll do me much good for now."
Cloud was aware of the disadvantages of the [Transformation] Skill, such as the fact that when he was in his [Human] form, his Stats were reduced by at least 50% unless this skill was rank [Ex].
[Can I get you another one, my lord?] asked [Yan Zhi] while bowing slightly.
[No, consuming humans is no longer beneficial to me] - Cloud replied as he shook his head, only to shake his head when he saw how [Yan Zhi]'s emotions seemed to be stabilizing. If she kept it up, it wouldn't be long before she had a human mentality like Shio.
[As would be expected of that inferior species] - [Yan Zhi] muttered with disdain.
Though it seemed that his disdain for humans would not change anytime soon.
"Are you going to help them now that you don't need to eat from those humans anymore?" - Shio asked curiously.
"I guess so," Cloud replied as he looked in the direction of the ground, though I'd like you to do me a small favour.
"What do you have planned?" - Shio asked as he gave the huge silver dragon a glance.
"I want you to go down and tell my friends that I need all the [God Eater] to stand down" - replied Cloud calmly - "[Yan Zhi] will help you down, but I want you to be careful."
"Ok ~" - smiled Shio as she felt her younger sister's claws take her gently.
"Let's just hope things go as planned, because if I'm honest, I don't feel anything for the death of all these people now" - Cloud muttered as he frowned noticing the drastic change in her personality over the past few days - "I just hope it doesn't keep changing for the worse."

"There's no end to this!" - A soldier shouted as he watched another of his comrades being torn apart by the sharp claws of a [Chi-You].
"This is Lindow of the [First Unit]!" - Lindow exclaimed as he looked around - "I need all squads to assemble!"
The soldiers looked at each other as they debated whether they should follow this man's orders or not, only for them to accept his words after a few seconds.
"In this time of crisis, we have to stick together!" - Lindow shouted as he smiled as he watched the [God Eater] begin to gather around him - "Only united can we survive this massacre!"
The soldiers roared fiercely as they slowly backed away.
Lindow continued to issue orders, but his expression changed as he heard how his squad was telling him to order an evacuation.
"Mr. Lindow! One of our meters is reacting like crazy!" - A soldier shouted as his face paled.
"Perfect excuse" - thought Lindow as he grinned more brightly.
"Sir?" - asked the soldier as he noticed that his current leader did not react to his words - "We need orders!"
"The helicopters need to come down! It's time to evacuate!" - Lindow exclaimed as his expression changed to one of terror - "My instincts are telling me that we need to get out of here as soon as possible!"
"Sir, your orders contradict our mission" - replied the soldier, only to turn pale when he heard the bestial roar in the distance. Slowly the sound of heavy footsteps began to echo in the surroundings as the soldiers debated whether to accept Lindow's orders or not.
"I will take responsibility!" - Lindow exclaimed earnestly - "If the higher-ups have anything to say, I'll accept all the blame, but right now we need to get out of here!"
The soldiers quieted down when they heard this as they let out a sigh of relief, only to thank the black-haired man. Their lives were far more important than this stupid mission that was a death trap more than anything else.
"ROAR!" - the roar of the beast was getting closer and closer and the soldiers were beginning to feel their hearts were starting to pound.
"What are you waiting for, come down, that's an order!" - A soldier exclaimed as he began to contact the helicopters.
Lindow was providing support to the soldiers as the transport vehicles came down one after the other, though some stayed in the air so that they could continue to provide tactical support.
The sound of footsteps grew louder and louder as a black silhouette drew closer and closer.
"Is that a [Vajra]?" - A soldier exclaimed in terror as he had never seen one of those [Aragami] that big.
"No! That's not a [Vajra], that's something much worse!" - Lindow exclaimed coldly as he watched the silhouette of the beast, becoming more and more recognisable. The monster was very much like a [Vajra], only black in colour, its face was much more human, but the most recognisable feature it had, was that it was missing one of its eyes.
Lindow's eyes widened in surprise because he immediately recognised the beast, it was the same monster that had attacked [Fenrir: Far East], months ago, only much more powerful.
"[Dyaus Pita(Heavenly Father)]" - Lindow muttered as he noticed how the beast was watching him when he arrived on the scene - "That thing is an [Aragami (Rank S)]".
"ROAR!" - the roar of the [Dyaus Pita(Heavenly Father)] echoed through the place as it looked at all the morsels in front of it, but it had almost all of its attention on Lindow because it was obvious it had recognised it.
"I feel like I'm too popular" - Lindow muttered as a faint smile appeared on his lips when he noticed how the [Aragami] was watching him viciously - "I guess I'll have to stay to buy some time for you guys."
The [God Eater] remained silent, only to sigh regretfully. They were grateful to Lindow, but their lives were far more important than those of an unknown person.
Lindow was about to prepare to enter the battlefield while the others [God Eater] covered his escape, but his expression changed when he heard the sound of something falling from the sky at high speed. Slowly, he looked up into the sky, only to notice how a silver silhouette was falling at full speed above the [Aragami].
"ROAR!" - [Dyaus Pita(Heavenly Father)] sensed the danger and quickly stepped back, only to look towards the sky in fury. He had managed to recognize that scent as he felt his eye begin to burn - [You bastard!]
A massive amount of electricity began to surround the beast's body as it continued to roar against the sky, only to notice how the silver silhouette stopped halfway through, revealing its appearance to all present.
"Holy shit, it's [Calamity]!" - exclaimed a [God Eater] in terror - "We're dead!"
"Be quiet and look calmly. [Calamity] doesn't seem interested in us" - said one of his companions - "In fact, he seems to be concentrating on [Dyaus Pita(Heavenly Father)]."
The others also noticed this detail, so they let out a sigh of relief.
"That's good for us, if those two abominations fight each other, our chances of survival are much higher" - added another [God Eater] - "Not to mention that it wouldn't be a bad situation if those two things kill each other, at least with that we will also complete our mission."
"And if not, at least we can kill them when they are weak" - another [God Eater] put his point of view on the table while the others nodded. This situation was a win-win for them.
Lindow for his part only kept silent because he knew that things would not be as simple as his now subordinates thought. He understood the power Cloud possessed when he was human and didn't want to imagine how powerful he was now that he had accepted his new identity.
"Before we try to take advantage of the situation, we'd better get to safety at a safe distance," Lindow said seriously, "Remember that those two [Aragami] have the ability to kill all of us."
The [God Eater] were silent for a few seconds before nodding.
Lindow was right, they had to escape as soon as possible because they didn't know when things might change for the worse.

[I see you liked my present] - said Cloud as he felt a familiar presence coming from the [Aragami] below him.
[I knew it was you!] - roared [Dyaus Pita(Heavenly Father)] at the huge beast flying above him - [Perfect, I was looking forward to seeing you so I could devour your limbs while you were still alive, but now that you're one of us, devouring you will yield better results!]
[Do you really think you can devour me?] - Cloud asked with amusement - [What makes you think it's possible when you couldn't defeat me when I was 'human'?]
[You'll soon find out why] - growled [Dyaus Pita(Heavenly Father)] as the sky began to darken - [I'm not the same [Aragami] as before!]
* * * * *
"Let's escape quickly!" - Lindow shouted as he watched as the soldiers seemed to be calmly taking their time - "If we don't, this weather will destroy our helicopters!"
[Fenrir's] helicopters were designed to withstand natural lightning, but they would be no match for [Dyaus Pita(Heavenly Father)]'s attacks.
