The N7 Labs Part - 2
Aavesh overheard and even caught a few glimpses of the Brutal Exchange between Corvus and Jiu Ming.
A lot of Bombshells had been exchanged between the 2 - Sabine was Corvus's Wife- They had a son, He died and Sabine's Mental State has only recently recovered.
But this was just heated speculation - Even if there was some truth to it, the Real Story had yet to be revealed.
But with this Exchange and the Minor Power Fluctuations- he was able to verify that Corvus was at Stage 4.9 Peak, Just a bit away from Stage 5.
Corvus wanted to protect him for Sabine's sake- He wanted to know why- He wasn't that close to Sabine but he definitely appreciated her Help - But there was also something more to it- Something he didn't know yet.
'Anyways that's enough Gossip, Time to get to work', Aavesh mentally reminded himself and continued to examine the Bloody Scene within the so-called Phase 1 Tunnel.
He first observed the Blood stains as he activated his Arcane Eye Augmentations- He could see the brief Arcane vibrations left behind in the Blood- He remembered Wizards and Arcanists using a Complex device to detect these unique Arcane Vibrations each Sentient Being Gave off- which he did read about and watched Horizon Videos explaining different Vibrations that belonged to different species.
Arcane Vibrations of the deceased would last as long as 100-500 years before dissipation provided no one disturbed the Crime Scene greatly- It was a very convenient method for forensic analysis.
Now Aavesh was able to simply detect these Vibrations using his Eyes and he was confident enough to Identify atleast 100 Species accurately!
Unfortunately if he had more Vitality reserves he would have activated all of his Nine Augmentations in one Go- Currently he could at Max activate two Augmentations.
Maybe Few days later he would finally have enough Vitality Reserves to activate all Nine Augmentations but he needed to ensure that he doesn't lose too much vitality now- He needed a few days of Rest but now...
*Sigh
He focused on the blood before him for now.
'The Blood splattered is Human and... What the fuck?!', Aavesh's expression changed drastically as his eyes widened!
There was something else along with the Human Blood!
It was extremely eerie- This 'other' Blood had a strange Vibration - it was almost extremely similar to the Vibrations given by the Human Blood yet there was only a slight difference - This should never be possible at All!
Even Hybrids between different races had completely unique Arcane Vibrations - Each Arcane Vibration was extremely Unique and a Degree of similarity between each species was extremely huge and obvious.
Infact it wasn't possible for any Species to have Similar Arcane Vibrations - This Was the Law!
Unless-
'An Ancient Super Parasitic Species were to inhabit a sentient Body', Aavesh was horrified at the Thought.
A Species capable of this were extremely dangerous! All such species were responsible for Horrific Genocides across the Galaxy and Most of them had been hunted to Extinction, Just a few species were driven off the Galaxy because they were too strong to be fully killed off- for example the Insectoid Tyranid Species, Genestealer species or the Dark Sprite Race.
'This is getting more dangerous than I thought - Let's profile what happened here exactly '
Aavesh then observed the Blood again - it was human- he then moved to observe the chunks of Torn Flesh splattered across the Tunnel.
'Most of the flesh is rotten - Like a few Days old- someone unlucky Entered this place- Huh? What's this- A fresh looking chunk of flesh that hasn't even rotted yet?'
Aavesh didn't touch this anomalous piece of flesh yet- He could sense something off about it.
This piece of flesh didn't belong to normal Human Cultivators.
'Hmmm Shall I test it with elements and see how it reacts?', Aavesh thought about it- He had extremely high Affinity to all Primal Elements, although he didn't know the complex Techniques of a Kineticist or Elemental Mage-he should be able to manifest small Elemental Attacks with Cosmic Force.
Aavesh didn't care too much about the Elemental Concentration of the N7 Labs- The Cosmic Force within him was more than enough to use Elemental Power.
'Let's Test which element is capable of harming you'
With a thought - he manifested a small stream of Fire Elemental Energy and attacked the chunk of flesh - but to his dismay the flesh barely reacted- it seemed to have a high Fire Resistance.
'If Fire doesn't work-'
'Eat Water!'
"..."
'Eat Wind!'
"..."
'Eat Earth!'
"..."
'Fuck! Take Metal!'
"..."
'Bloody Hell! Taste Light!'
"..."
'What the Heck! Take Darkness'
"..."
'Godammn - EAT LIGHTNING!'
"..."
This flesh had high resistance to Primal Elemental Energy which was unnatural to the extreme.
'This is Bad- Basic Elemental Attacks won't work on this flesh- From the looks of it Advanced Elemental Energy should eviscerate it but To use Advanced Elemental Energy - I need to be atleast Stage 4 or preferably Stage 5 otherwise it will too much for me to handle', Aavesh thought worriedly.
But he then looked at the Piece of Flesh again and thought of using his Absolute Element but then suddenly.
Aavesh felt a Mental Sting causing him to grimace in pain as he felt an unknown Powerful mental force try to invade his Mind forcibly.
*Thump!
'This Again? Fuck Off!', Aavesh mentally yelled as his Eyes glinted with Silver Mythic Power and he forced the Unknown invader out.
"What the fuck?", Aavesh felt sweat on his forehead as he could sense that invaders Mental Power was extremely High- Atleast Stage 4.
If not for his Legend Mythic Power he would have become brain-dead in an instant !
' And this was not a full on Mental attack- It was simple Level 1 Invade Spell- I need to Ramp up my Mental Defenses'
Aavesh immediately grasped both orbs surrounding him and placed them into his Eyes to Protect his Mind Pond.
His Mental Energy hardened and his Mind Pond felt like it was made of Hard Diamond.
Not a Moment later Aavesh felt a heavy Feeling upon his head- Like a Mind Draining Curse- This Being was getting serious now and used a Stage 3 Mental Spell to kill him by draining his Mind Pond Forcibly.
Aavesh's nose bled briefly as he shrugged off the pain inflicted by the Curse- Although the Curse could not be removed until called off by the Caster, His Mind was barely affected by it and it would be atleast a Week before the Curse could do Serious Damage- Heck he could even bare a Level 4 Spell for a few days if the creature decided to use it.
He removed his Helmet for an instant and wiped his nose before putting it back on.
His Renegade Aeon Mythic Power was no Weakling went it came to matters of the Mind.
Aavesh wiped the blood dripping from his nose and looked at the other End of the Tunnel.
'What kind of Human Kin are you? Why does your Mental Energy feel so appetizing?', A Disembodied voice spoke to his mind using Telepathy.
Aavesh remained silent upon this- this Creature reeked of Unnaturalness from just it's voice- He felt the Strange Call of Law- he could feel that the Balance had been disturbed here.
As a Renegade Aeon he felt the wrongness of the situation.
' You are silent... Come Children give him the Voice, so he may speak like us', The Mysterious Creature spoke calmly with a Touch of A Creepy Tenderness and Care.
'Children? Ohhh This is Bad!', Aavesh realised what the Creature meant as he now felt a Hive-like presence lock onto his mind.
"Activate the Facility Map!"
Aavesh immediately commanded the combat UI in his Suit.
In his Helmet Visor - Aavesh got a 2D Map of the N7 Testing Labs and it immediately pinpointed his Position which was at the Entrance.
Aavesh looked carefully and saw several Red Dots Converging onto the Tunnel - He couldn't count as he saw the Other End of Tunnel slam open with Several Faceless beings with Ghastly Pale White Smooth skin and strange Twisted Limbs-
The only thing that seemed to indicate their once human nature was their tattered Blood stained clothing.
Aavesh readied his fighting stance as he analysed the several Incoming - 'Monsters'.
They were roughly between Stage 1 and Stage 2- Their Auras were very unstable but he could feel they had a very sharp mental Presence as somehow he could feel their 'gaze'.
Aavesh activated his Enforcing Gaze skill and focused on Finding Attacks of Opportunity as he knew they would try to corner him.
"ROAAAAAA!", The Monsters screamed in an inhuman fashion as they rushed within the Narrow Tunnel to Subdue Aavesh.
Aavesh charged as well as he activated his Processing Augmentation along with his Limb Augmentation - He switched off his Arcane Eye Augmentation as he saw the same Arcane Vibrations from these Monsters and that piece of Flesh- He now just had to kill them without Using any Combat Martial art Techniques.
'I am going to make that Arse Jiu Ming Pay for this - Time for the Old Ways', Aavesh thought as he began to see certain weak blue glows appearing on parts of the Charging Enemies - The Opportunities!
And He would seize them!
*Screw
A Creature Lunged at Aavesh with claw like white hands- But Aavesh smiled like a Predator, His shadow lit up with 2 silver eyes and Silver Mythic Power infused onto Aavesh's fists as he let the creature close in.
*SMACK
*SPLATTER
His Size let him close in on the Lunging Being in an instant and his Punch connected with the Opportunity Spot placed on the Creature - Sending the Creature smashing onto the Walls with strange Grey goo oozing from its wounds.
Aavesh's armored fist was covered with the Grey Goo as well but He didn't stop yet - There were more- He needed to subdue all of them before anything else.
Aavesh rushed and kept dodging the Inhuman attacks of the Monsters as he counterattacked at the Opportune moment - His attacks would somehow just oneshot these creatures - crippling them.
*Pow
*Splash
*Pow
*Pow
But Numbers still mattered as Aavesh kept fighting dozens of these never ending creatures as he was slowly forced into the Phase 1 Test Site by the Monsters as they now jumped over him and kept Targeting him from behind.
A Creature closed in but Aavesh would rip it's arm and slap it's face with it.
Aavesh broke another creature's leg with a Kick letting it fall weakly before him and he snapped it's neck before shoving it's corpse into those Lunging Monsters!
If he used a Damn Combat Technique- He would have wiped these Aberrations in an instant!
*Fuck!
After a while, a heavily breathing Aavesh stood within the Phase 1 Facility and behind him were several Corpses of said Pale Monsters, littered in the Tunnel with grey Goo seeping out from them.
'You harm my Children despite their love for you ', The Mysterious Stage 4 Creature's voice ringed in Aavesh's head .
'Love- Well only something fucked up like you would call it love- You know - they can shove their love up your throat, I'll personally assist them with it!', Aavesh replied back with sarcasm.
'But they succeeded - Soon you will feel their Sorrow and Love- Soon your voice will awaken and you will embrace me like a child suckling it's mother's breasts', The Voice of the creature spoke with triumph.
Aavesh felt a chill down his spine as he heard its creepy and perverted words.
Fuck- who Says that kind of stuff!
Aavesh's breathing fastened as he suddenly felt feverish.
He could feel this strange thing within his blood- like his cells were being invaded by something.
Aavesh collapsed down and wondered - how?
'My Gift only needs a touch close enough - My Poor children sacrificed themselves to place the seeds of Mind within you- Your Suit was not meant to protect against my Touch- It was meant to ease the process of Transformation! Those who sent you in- obviously intended to let you join my flock! Do you not feel their selflessness flood you as we speak? Shhh don't resist this - Soon You will become uss', The Creature spoke in a soothing voice as Aavesh's vision began to fade as he lay on the floor.
In the control Room, Corvus looked on with his fist clenched.
Jiu Ming on the other hand was fixing a Temporary Cybernetic Eye onto where his Stomped Eye once was.
He gloated at Corvus, with immense sarcasm in his voice,
"So much for the Mind Breaker Genes- They were going to be the so called Key in our Mission - This is what you get when you behave with Personal feelings on the Job"
But Corvus ignored him stared carefully at Aavesh and then smiled,
"It's not over yet - Look"
The others in the Control Room stared back at the screen in surprise.
Aavesh felt his body burn and squirm- but then,
'Enemy'
An Ancient Memory Evoked in his blood, as his Eyes Snapped open.
Black Lines appeared on his body, as Aavesh stood up and summoned the Absolute Element into him.
"OBLIVION!"
A Dull Black shockwave ripped outward from Aavesh.
The Oblivion circulated within his body and cleansed his Body, Soul and Energy from the so called Seeds of the Mind.
'So it's this - Blood of Gith, Butcher of my Children, Just wait- I sent my children with love but you bring that foul Plane and REJECT MY GIFT! Since you wish to be voiceless - I will make sure lie silently like the corpse you are!' The Voice of roared furiously in Aavesh's head.
'Bring it on - I am Rick James Bitch!', Aavesh spoke back with a Bloodthirsty Smile.
It was going to be a long while.
