Into the Fray

Even though she was enjoying the fight, Yunyun soon caught up with her and opened the way for Elena.

Then the two of them arrived in front of a not too big building that emitted strong energy.

"James, I need an airstrike on the building in front of me. I felt like there was an entrance into the ground here."

"Roger!"

Wooooshhhh!!! Boom!

One missile hit the building and got flatted to the ground.

Elena and Yunyun removed the rubble and opened a small passage jutted into the ground.

Elena then immediately enveloped her body with energy to prevent any anomaly or surprise attack from the unknown depth. Although it looked a little transparent the shield was very strong. Likewise, Yunyun did the same thing.

"I leave it up here to you guys, remember, 10 minutes! More than that, you pack up your gear and get out of here!" Elena ordered her five new comrades.

Without wasting any time, Elena and Yunyun immediately entered the passage. After a while of running down the passage, they finally arrived at an open space in the mother ship.

Hundreds of soldiers and automatic plasma rifles greeted the two of them with fierce faces. Although the security system was not very advanced and strong, hundreds of low-level warriors were enough to give the two of them trouble and hinder their movement.

"They will be endless! We have to go to the ground floor immediately!" Yunyun exclaimed as she broke the necks of several soldiers.

"Follow me! You stay behind, I'll pierce them!" Elena unhesitatingly jumped into the midst of the crowd of troops and released the energy she was suppressing which generated a shockwave along with a flash of sword slash.

Dozens of soldiers were thrown into the air along with their severed limbs. The two of them advanced at full speed, and ruthlessly took out anyone in their way.

With bodies covered in enemy blood, the two of them finally arrived at the hatchery, which contained hundreds of strange, mutated creatures.

"Jackpots!" Yunyun exclaimed with sparkling eyes.

However, a swarm of strange creatures with the shape of a giant octopus soon hatched from the breeding tube and attacked them fiercely.

"Damn it! Their moves are equivalent to a Rank C! Elena, you must have some kind of trick, right?" asked Yunyun. She had started to run out of stamina.

Elena raised one eyebrow at her best friend's words. She stretched her hand forward and activated her ability. [Time Fragment] she easily created her own time anomaly and covered the entire room.

Yunyun smiled sweetly and cast a move, [Dragon Scales!]. She duplicated her swords into thousands and floated them in the air. Each one of them was ready to stab the troops and vibrate violently due to the momentum being restrained by Elena's technique.

"Release!" Elena shrieked as she let go of control of her technique.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Yunyun's thousands of swords shot like arrows released from their bows after Elena released her time anomaly. Thousands of moans and shrieks full of sorrow rang throughout the room, the fishy smell of blood mixed with the yellowish liquid in the tube. The C Rank monsters were exterminated without any effort.

Hoaarhkkhhhh!

A deafening scream suddenly rang out from all over the ship. The floor they were on was shaking violently like an earthquake causing it to fall down.

Elena and Yunyun immediately jumped away from the collapsed floor.

Then, a terrifying figure with dozens of gigantic tentacles writhed from under the floor with a terrifying aura.

"Abyssal Queen!" Yunyun exclaimed in disbelief at what she saw.

The Queen shouted once more, so loud it caused a shockwave.

"Damn human! It seems it's not enough for you to interfere with the revival of our race!" The queen wriggled from inside the hole as she walked using her tens of tentacles.

"I don't care about your revival or whatever!" challenged Yunyun and simply brandished her sword.

"No mercy for you!!!" The queen lost its temper and jumped in the air. The Abyssal creature sprayed a foul-smelling acid liquid from its mouth.

The two of them took a few steps back and jumped into the air to keep up with the Queen. But Yunyun was not up to par, and she was blown away with a single slap of her tentacle.

"Yunyun!!!" Elena screamed when she saw her friend and crashed hard to the floor.

"I'm fine, sorry I've always been a burden to you," Yunyun said. She spat up blood.

"Do not talk too much! 5 broken ribs and your lungs are flooded with your own blood, stay here, I will finish this soon," Elena said as she hugged Yunyun, who now drooped weakly and was covered in blood.

"How touching! This is how humans are, your heart makes you weak!" The queen looked very satisfied with her temporary victory and clung to the wall with her tentacles.

"Shut your stinky mouth, I'll cut off your head," said Elena with anger that ignited her heart.

Elena's blood was getting hotter, her hair had also changed color to flashing red blood. Her cold gaze full of murderous aura took the Queen by surprise, and it realized what and who it was dealing with.

"Die you!"

Elena was fed up with hearing the creature's chatter, she immediately jumped up, and the fierce battle took place again. Elena was entangled in the tentacles and she got slammed left and right until the floor crumbled here and there.

With great difficulty, she cut the tentacles wrapped around her. The queen fell and groaned in pain on the floor. Elena didn't waste the opportunity and cut off the remaining tentacles.

Losing a lot of blood and body support, the Queen desperately crawled on only two arms.

When she saw this, Elena approached the Queen, pressed the tip of the sword against the Queen's chest as she prepared to stab it in the heart.

However, Elena's ultimate attack was stopped by a gush of water that slithered sharply like a tentacle.

Then a short girl in her thirteen came out from the hole behind the wall and stopped Elena's movement with the coil of water energy she controlled.

The girl's anatomy looked very similar to that of a human, her hair was bluish like her mother's, her skin was white, her pupils were yellowish in color, if not for the membranes between her toes and hands and the fin-like earlobe.

Elena was very surprised when she felt the incredible power of such a small child. The twist made her very angry. With a single jolt, she was able to escape the child's water-energy coils. Elena's killing aura was at its peak.

"Wait!! Please! I surrender but don't kill my daughter!" The Queen's ruthlessness immediately vanished. Instead she turned into a pitiful creature as her child was in danger.

Elena's sword came to a halt when it nearly cut off the girl's head. After she looked carefully, she immediately noticed the characteristics of the girl.

"This characteristic!? You are the Siren race? Why did your people mutate and invade Earth?"

"Yes, we… the ones you call Abyssal Creatures, are actually Siren, The Calamity forced our clan to evolve. Then we got a signal from Earth that we were going to invade 15 years ago. Then some time ago, someone gave us a device to open a portal and promised us a reward if we caught a young boy."

Elena immediately frowned upon hearing the signal word, 'Signal? Who has the facility to send interstellar signals and tools to open portals? There is only one possibility, World Government!'

"I don't sympathize with your story, but I'm grateful that it's all clear now," said Elena as she lowered her strength and sighed.

The Queen became more and more pitiful and held Elena's hand with the remaining strength, "Please, my only daughter left from Royal Siren, let her live. She is still pure and has not changed like me and my people."

"Elena, I think you should let the little girl live." Yunyun recovered from her injury. She circulated her internal energy and regenerated her limply damaged internal organs.

"Okay, but I will still exterminate the rest of your people. This is for the sake of balance on Earth. However, if your daughter just once, or even a little, thinks of revenge, in that very second I will kill her," said Elena.

"Fair enough for me. Come here, baby," the Queen hugged her daughter very tightly and calmed her sobs.

She said something in her language and made her daughter cry so hard that her voice was hoarse.

"Now I can go in peace, sorry to waste your time. Do it," said the Queen as she closed her eyes.

But Elena didn't cut her down and instead let her go.

Then, Elena took out a bomb from her bracelet's spatial space and placed it right next to the queen.

"I will let you live a little longer to reminisce about your beautiful days for the next 5 minutes. With this bomb, you will die instantly without any pain. Rest in peace."

The Queen smiled and handed her daughter to Elena, although her smile was not as beautiful as it had been before the mutation, it was enough to calm her daughter down. Yunyun had tears in her eyes watching that moment, while Elena didn't budge one bit with her determination.

"Let's go," said Elena as she dragged the daughter's hand who was still struggling to stay with her mother.

When she realized the resistance, Elena sighed. She reactivated her power, grabbed Yunyun and the little one's hands, enveloped the two of them with her energy and dashed towards the exit.

All the Team personnel that awaited on the surface immediately wondered when they saw the two of them and a small child. However, there was little time left to inquire about the details of the battle.

James immediately took control of the plane and restored the autopilot system to land the plane on the beach. With the rest of the equipment already packed, they immediately took off from the island and soared high into the atmosphere and they kept a safe distance from the impending explosion.

Not a long time later, a huge explosion and a giant mushroom cloud soared high in the sky. But the explosive power of the bomb had already been adjusted by Elena, so it only destroyed along the shoreline of the island.

The entire plane shook violently as the personnel cheered for their victory. But Elena was only seen by the others not moving. She simply sat limply in her chair with the little one on her lap that wore a towel.

'The World Government will definitely make a fuss about this, what can I do?' Elena wondered in her heart when she saw the explosion from the window.

"Elena, who is that little girl?" asked Rake as he sipped his favorite canned beer.

"Long story. Next time I'll tell you," Elena said as she closed her eyes, Rake understood Elena's tone and told the others to calm down a bit.

"Elena, can I ask you something?" Yunyun asked cautiously. When she saw the expression that didn't show any resistance, she continued. "What did the Queen say to her daughter for the last time?"

Elena opened one eye and glanced at Yunyun, "She said, 'Freyr, live happily, forgive your mother, but now you don't have to live in fear anymore, forgive her, it's not her fault, she's not a bad creature.'" Elena replied. She was fluent in various languages ​​from outside the earth.

"Oh, I see,"

"But, hmmm, how am I supposed to support little Freyr?" Elena lifted Freyr's chin while frowning.

"Ah! Old Dwarves' circus caravan can definitely pay a heavy price to own her," said Elena, and pinched Freyr's supple cheeks.

"Don't joke around!" Yunyun snapped, hitting Elena's shoulder.

As if feeling herself being spoken to, Freyr immediately walked away from Elena. Then she promptly hid under the bench and started sobbing. Elena tried to grab the little girl. However, she finally allowed her to calm down.

"By the way, how is that possible? They can mutate and evolve so rapidly in such a short period?" Yunyun started to realize something and started to think.

"Clearly, there were people in the World Government who tried to make big profits by introduce them how to evolve with earth's natural energy, then used Ryo as a catalyst to start a new war," said Elena.

"Surely, war is the best scenario to gain wealth. It's more complicated than I thought," Yunyun replied.

"Yeah... That's how it is. James, head straight for Washington, and you little lady, I'll do a little research on your body," said Elena with her trademark mischievous smile.

"Wait a minute, don't tell me you're going to…" Yunyun said with a worried expression as she knew Elena took interest on exo-creatures and dissected them for science purposes.

"Of course not, you idiot! I'm just going to do a DNA test, maybe a little touch here and there to test the body's muscle structure and nerves, "

Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.
