Chapter 179

Saren's massive biotic push washed over Harry and did absolutely nothing, Harry just smiled and then spread his arm wide open, in each of his hands his keyblades, Oblivion and Oathkeeper flashed with a strong black and white light "Let me show you, that you're a fool for fearing mechanical beings like the reapers!".

The world around Harry and Saren warped and shifted as Harry's keyblades exploded with darkness and light, the winds picked up as Harry's eyes narrowed, until suddenly, the dragon god let out a roar.

Saren's eyes widen as a barrier of twilight exploded out from Harry's body and began to spread all around him until the barrier shattered and released an enormous amount of energy blasts that shot out everywhere.

Saren immediately scampered and mentally made his flying platform avoid as many of the energy blasts that Harry had just unleashed, below him all the geth began to get showered by Harry's attack, while Shepard and the squad were completely unaffected.

Saren avoided many of the blasts, but eventually, the sheer number of energy blasts became too much for him and many began to strike him on the back, his biotic armor was able to mitigate some of the damage, but it soon shattered along with with his armor's shields.

The turian was then sent flying off his flying platform and falling onto the ground below, soon enough, he slammed against the water stream below him and gasped in pain, he quickly got up and shook his head to get rid of the water on his face.

Harry suddenly came down and landed in front of Saren, while the turian was trying to get up, Harry just smirked at the ex-spectre "You know, ever since I caught sight of your ugly mug, I've wanted to punch it.

Then I began to hear of the things you've done, the many people you took advantage of and used for your insane plan to submit to the reapers... I don't think I've ever been so disgusted and pissed at the same time... not since the Kingdom of Falmuth attacked Tempest and killed a lot of my friends".

Saren growled, the way Harry spoke to him made him feel like a fool like a child being dismissed because he didn't know what he was speaking about, it infuriated him and despite being terrified, his anger helped him cope with that fear "What nonsense are you talking about?!".

Harry just shrugged "Nothing you would understand, I'm just speaking of things that happen a long while ago... to me at least, I guess your actions just brought those memories to the surface.

Along with the sheer level of stupidity that you spoke about with Shepard, I guess, I expect better from you but... looking at you now? So submissive and afraid, just make me realize how pathetic you really are".

Saren roared in anger and frustration, his biotic energy exploded around him, and everything around the ex-spectre was suddenly crushed under the massive force exerted by his biotics, Harry however, just stood there and sighed "... The truth hurts doesn't it?".

With that said, Harry suddenly twirled on his toes and spin-kicked Saren with the heel of his foot, the kick hit Saren on his shoulder, and the ex-spectre's eyes widen in pain and shock, while a sickening crack echoed through the area as Saren was sent flying to the side spinning.

The mad turian suddenly slammed against the floor and harshly bounced off of it once before slamming against a wall, Saren then dropped to the ground while groaning in pain.

Harry narrowed his eyes at the turian and then shook his head "I guess I kicked you too hard huh?... Looks like I'm more upset than I thought".

Harry sighed and then walked over to Saren, fully intending in killing him off and collecting his arm, but Saren suddenly stood up with a gasp as his eyes began to glow red-purple, Harry narrowed his eyes as he watched the ex-spectre's wounds heal at an accelerated pace "... Nanomachines".

Saren grinned and then looked all around his body until he started to laugh in amusement "I see... I am needed, the reapers do need me alive! They made me immortal!".

Harry scoffed "As if, you just heal faster, but let me teach you how that's not a good thing for someone as weak as you!".

Harry let go of his keyblades and both Oblivion and Oathkeeper vanished in flashes of darkness and light, Saren saw at this and smirked at Harry "You'll see soon Harry Potter! Not even you a so-called dragon god can't compare to the reap- agh!".

Harry flashed right in front of Saren and hit him with a punch in the abdomen mid-sentence, the ex-spectre's body folded around Harry's fist as Saren gagged and gasped.

The turian was then sent flying at high speed, but Harry quickly caught him by the ankle, Saren's entire skeletal system cracked and popped from the sudden stop in momentum his body was just put through.

But Harry ignored that and pulled Saren towards him and followed through with an elbow to the back, The turian grunted in pain and then crashed against the ground, where Harry then proceeded to stomp on top of Saren's spine.

The ground beneath the ex-spectre's body cratered and he was bent over backward and his innard exploded from his body, usually, one would instantly die from that, but Saren didn't, instead he just screamed in pain as the nanomachines in his body began to repair his body almost instantly.

Harry ground his foot on top of Saren's back and coldly spoke "Still think it's good to have a healing factor asshole? Not so great now is it? Everybody thinks that it's awesome to heal from anything.

But trust me, it isn't as fun and cool as everyone believes it is, not when you still feel all the pain from the injuries you get!".

Harry raised a hand and then waved it down towards Saren, the ex-spectre's body suddenly combusted in flames, Saren screamed in agonizing pain and Harry held him down by pressing his foot on Saren's back.

-----

Shepard shot a geth prime's head off and grimaced as he heard Saren's screams of pain, he know Harry could be ruthless, especially when pissed bit, but damn was it hard to not feel bad for Saren right now.

Tali suddenly, blasted a geth armature off balance with a wave of energy from her hand and then shot it to pieces with her shotgun's charge shot, Shepard actually gaped at that "What the hell?".

Le Fay laughed and landed beside Shepard, she quickly pointed an open hand towards a big group of geth prime, as she began to chant "'O gathering flames of darkness, treat our dear guests to the strains of your terrible song... Bloody Howling!'".

Small blue flames form an octagon-like glyph on the ground beneath the big group of geth, and pink-red flames of dark energy erupt from the ground as it cries out an eerie moan.

The dark energy instantly began to tear the geth apart in a matter of seconds and it even pulled any geth nearby towards the dark energy resulting in even more enemies being destroyed.

Le Fay put her hand down and then turned her head towards Shepard "Tali can use magic now, thanks to Harry's Blessing, she now has a small mana core.

It's slowly developing and growing stronger, there have also been some physical changes as well, nothing big, things like increased strength, reflexes, and durability, plus she's now at least five percent dragon too.

So, she's quickly evolving and becoming stronger, the more she fights the more she'll improve and grow, though because she was benched for a while, while she was waiting for her armor, she has quite a bit to catch up to".

Shepard, quickly swapped his Harry-made pistol for his assault rifle and shot down a big group of geth attack drones, but despite being busy fighting, he still spoke with Le Fay "You mean to tell me that Tali is magical now?".

Le Fay turned around and summoned Clarent, she quickly swung it towards a new geth ship that approached the battlefield, a massive red lightning energy slashes flew out of Clarent and headed towards the geth ship at a high speed.

The geth ship was instantly cut in half and then violently exploded, Le Fay then spun Clarent in her hand while she answered Shepard's question "She is, the very first magical quarian, the first supernatural being from this world~".

Shepard sighed and shook his head as he charged a plasma grenade and then aimed above him, where a geth armature was dropped right towards them, Shepard then let go of the trigger and a plasma grenade shot towards the geth armature before it could land on Shepard and Le Fay.

The plasma grenade exploded on impact, but Le Fay and Shepard were unaffected by the fact that the explosion happened above them and very close to them.

The explosion soon subsided and Shepard took that chance to speak "I'm kinda jealous of Tali now".

Le Fay giggled, suddenly Wrex roared and rammed into a big group of geth shock troopers and sent them flying in pieces all over the place, Le Fay smiled at that and then said, "We're keeping an eye on Tali, if she's able to develop as a magical being without any issues and after some research, I'm sure Harry will give you his blessings, he always does so with all his friend and family".

Shepard smiled and nodded, he then turned his head towards Harry and Saren "Harry seems to enjoy torturing Saren, I don't blame him though, I would do so as well.

Le Fay shook her head "That's not all his doing though, I mean yeah, he's making sure Saren suffers, but he seems to be studying something right now.

My guess is that he saw something of interest in the way Saren suddenly healed from his kick and wants to learn about it a bit, he was all but ready to kill Saren a few moments ago".

Shepard frowned, he had noticed how Saren suddenly stood up with a gasp and then healed at a very rapid pace, he would have been worried about it, if Harry didn't seem more amused by Saren's new ability to heal than worried "Well, then let's keep killing geth, I don't know where Saren got this many, but it's like there's no end to these things".

Le Fay nodded and then noticed as another big group of geth ran towards them, she smiled and pointed Clarent towards the geth, despite the big numbers, both she and the squad had no problem dealing with them.

The geth were just no match for her, or the squad and their Harry-made gear, but at the very least, it was fun to let lose in battle, it certainly has been a while since she had fun fighting along with friends like this.

-----

Harry intently watched as the nanomachines in Saren's body effortlessly worked to heal and restore his body, it was certainly an amazing piece of technology, he was already getting all sorts of ideas for this type of technology that Tony and he can work on.

Not that Saren was in any state of mind to care, despite the nanomachines healing and restoring his body, they were doing nothing about his pain, it showed how the reapers really don't care about organic life, the fact that they didn't even bother to mitigate the pain of Saren's wound and just worry about him being in battle-ready condition is very telling of their disregard for life.

With a wave of his hand, Harry extinguished the flames around Saren's body, but then, to his surprise, the nanomachines sped up and healed Saren almost instantly, the turian immediately rolled out from beneath Harry's foot and stood up.

Harry let him do so and just stared at him "So the nanomachines have a self-learning protocol... They're meant to improve and become faster the more they heal and restore, a pretty impressive piece of technology, I don't think I've seen something like it before, well, not being supernatural in nature that is".

Saren growled as he struggled to catch his breath, what Harry had done to him had put him through an amount of pain, that he had never thought possible to ever experience, in fact, his mind almost broke.

It had both terrified him and shocked him, he now knew that Harry Potter isn't a saint, he's a ruthless monster, a merciless creature who's not afraid to make people suffer and that realization made him deathly afraid of Harry.

But, he had no other choice but to kill Harry Potter. It was either him or Saren himself and Saren would be damn if he died today, not after everything he had done to survive the reapers, so Saren stood up and growled at Harry in defiance.

Harry just raised an eyebrow at the turian and then chuckled "That's cute, you think that growling at me is going to do anything? Your definitely not scaring me or anyone for that matter".

Saren had enough and with a roar, he took off running towards Harry, while shooting blast after blast of biotic energy toward the dragon god, Harry just stood there and tanked the biotic blasts as they splashed on his body as if they were nothing but water.

Saren reached Harry, engulfed his arms with his biotic energy, and sent a punch toward Harry, the dragon god just moved his head away and avoided the punch with ease before Saren could even react or follow up on his attack.

Harry lashed out a knee towards Saren's ribs, the dragon god's knee crashed against the turian's ribs and cracked them, Saren cough up some blood, but immediately swung another biotic-enhanced punch towards Harry.

But the dragon god ducked and avoided Saren's attack yet again, while Harry was avoiding the punch, he quickly sent an open palm strike towards Saren's chest, the strike hit Saren -who had been unable to even react- with a thunderous clap.

The ex-spectre gasped and took a step back while a very scary amount of blood exploded from his mouth, Saren grabbed hold of his chest and trembled in pain and agony.

Meanwhile, Harry activated his rinnegan and watched as the nanomachines actually reconstructed Saren's heart in almost an instant "Huh? That's actually pretty neat...".

Saren gasped in shock as he felt the pain numb away, he was well aware that without the reaper's nanomachines, that strike should have killed him and that had scared him.

However, Harry just smiled and then cheerfully said "Well, now I'm really curious! Let's see if those nanomachines, can repair your eyes or brain, let's find out how much I can hurt you before you really do die or your mind just breaks".

Saren took a step back in horror and stared at the monster before him with wide eyes full of fear and shock, he knew now, that he was about to die and there was nothing he could do about that fact, but luckily for Saren, help was coming his way.

-----

Harry was about to take a step forward but then his eyes widen when he sensed something big coming his way, the dragon god immediately turned his head towards where the energy he sensed was coming from.

That's when he saw Sovereign coming their way. the reaper immediately unleashed a series of beam-like attacks at Harry and the squad, Harry instantly knew that the armors he had created for the crew wouldn't be able to take those beam attacks for to long, not even the wards he made for the Normandy would be able to take a barrage of those attacks for long.

So Harry ignored Saren, who immediately ran away towards his downed flying platform, meanwhile, Harry blurred out of sight "Le Fay! Incoming!".

Le Fay immediately raised an open hand and created a barrier around Shepard and herself, while Harry arrived by Tali, pulled Wrex towards him with telekinesis, and then covered them with a barrier as well.

The barrage crashed against the squad and the area around them destroying everything around the squad, meanwhile, Saren jumped onto his downed flying platform, his nanomachines immediately began to repair it and soon, the platform was completely repaired.

With that done. Saren mentally ordered the platform to take him away from here and towards Sovereign, he needed to get away from Harry Potter, away from that monster.

Harry and Le Fay held the barriers up with ease as they were bombarded by an endless stream of beam-like attacks, both of them would be fine from such an attack, but Shepard, Tali, and Wrex would only be able to stay alive for about a minute before the enchantments in their armors would be overwhelmed and destroyed.

They weren't the best Harry can make after all, but without knowing what the reapers can actually do and with what he had on hand in terms of materials, it was what he was able to come up with.

So, they had to protect the squad and their friends, but that didn't mean, Harry wasn't upset, suddenly, Sovereign was slammed away by Kunou in her giant nine-tailed fox.

Sovereign made an odd screeching sound as it was pushed away, Valerie who was on top of Kunou's head raised both hands towards Sovereign and blasted him away from the area with a twin ki blast.

Both girls quickly turned their attention towards the squad, and both Harry and Le Fay lowered their barriers and smiled at Kunou and Valerie, unluckily for everyone, Saren had made it inside Sovereign, so the reaper immediately retreated into space and then FTL away from the system.

Harry frowned as he looked up "You can both run away all you want, but I'll eventually catch you and when I do, I'll kill you both...".

Shepard and the squad sighed and looked around them, everything around had been destroyed by the reaper's sudden energy attack, Wrex grunted in annoyance "The hell was that attack?".

Harry answered Wrex's question while still looking up at the sky "A magnetohydrodynamic weapon, one on each of that thing's tentacles... technically it ejects a stream of molten metal at a fraction of the speed of light at its target".

Tali gasped "Keelah... nothing in our galaxy can stop an attack like that".

Shepard grunted "Fuck..." The commander turned his head towards Harry "What about the Normandy? Can it take an attack like that".

Harry looked over towards Shepard and frowned "For five minutes, maybe more, but the wards will eventually get overcharged and collapse, the armors could only take it for about a minute.

You could dodge or move away in that minute, but Sovereign was firing a beam from each tentacle, and it seems it can hold the stream of attacks for a while".

Shepard huffed and shook his head "Goddammit...".

Kunou and Valerie soon landed in front of everyone, the vampire princess immediately began to ask everyone about their condition "Is everyone okay! That looked like a really powerful attack".

Kunou nodded and walked up towards Harry "That was easily a city destroyer attack".

Harry nodded "Yes, Le Fay and I had to protect everyone, their armor wouldn't be able to take an attack like that for long".

Wrex sighed "Can you upgrade the armor Harry? Make them strong enough to block that?".

Harry hummed for a few seconds while he thought about Wrex's question, soon enough he had an answer for him "Just a bit, maybe make around three minutes but that's it.

The materials the armors are made from aren't mana conductive, I also didn't make them either, so the amount of mana that would be running through them with the enchantments will eventually make the material break down.

I would have to start from scratch and make my own set of armors, with mana-conductive materials but that would take time and me going back to my world...

The problem with that is that because this world isn't connected to mine, who knows how much time would pass between it and mine and I can't risk connecting this world to mine yet, not when the reapers are around.

I and Neo Kyoto can protect ourselves against them, but the rest of the world? Not very likely, I can't take the risk and I won't be able to always help everyone in my world, my first priority would be my family and Neo Kyoto

Plus my world is connected to quite a few other worlds too, they would also be at risk of the reapers, and in good conscience, I can't risk them either".

Everyone in the squad nodded to what Harry was telling them, they wouldn't want to risk his world either anyways, so the best they can do is work with what they had, it was already a lot, to begin with.

Shepard nodded "Them, we'll deal with Sovereign with what we have, what you've done for us is already more than enough Harry, I'm not about to ask you to risk your world and others".

Harry smiled and nodded to Shepard "You can leave Sovereign to me though, now that I've seen it and know what it can do, I'll be able to handle him, plus, this gives me an opportunity to use something the boys and I have been working with for a while...".

Shepard didn't know what Harry was planning on using, but seeing the grin on his face told him that it was going to be wild, inwardly he was hoping that Sovereign suffers.

That overgrown ship might have gotten away with Saren, but it was only a matter of time before they get their hands on them again and next time, they won't be able to get away.

-----

After everyone had that conversation and made plans, Shepard called Joker and asked him to pick them up, the Normandy arrived quickly enough and everyone except Harry boarded the ship.

The research facility had to be destroyed still, so the Normandy quickly took off to the sky, while Harry floated high above the area of the research facility.

Harry quite liked the planet Virmire, so he didn't want to cause to much damage to it by using a big explosive attack, so instead, he opted to use his rinnegan's power.

So, once the dragon god was high above the research facility, he activated his rinnegan and clapped his hands together while calling out the name of his technique "'Chibaku Tensei! (Planetary Devastation!)'".

Harry open his hands apart revealing a black orb of chakra, the dragon god quickly let it fall from his hands towards the research facility and then the black orb of chakra began to pulsate as it began to pull everything around towards it.

The research facility quickly began to break apart under the powerful gravitational pull of Harry's jutsu, along with any rocky cliff, sand, and seawater around the facility.

Soon a moon began to take form as more and more of the Research facility was destroyed until only a big crater was left where the area of the Research facility once stood.

Above, was a massive new moon, which with a wave of Harry's hand, quickly began to float upwards and then into space, until it was safely away from the planet and locked in by Virmire's gravitational pull.

Harry looked down and smiled as the sea soon began to fill the crater left behind by his jutsu, a few minutes later a new seawater lake was all that was left of Saren's research facility and Harry nodded in satisfaction.

With that done, Harry then teleported away from Virmire and back to the Normandy, despite Saren and Sovereign being able to get away, the dragon wasn't really worried.

He knew he could handle both of them, but he was more worried about everyone else involved, just because the girls and himself can take on Saren and Sovereign, didn't mean that just anyone can face them either.

With that last concern in Harry's mind, he left Virmire and arrived in the Normandy, however, he knew Shepard was going to call for a meeting, so he quickly walked over to the comms room where he knew everyone was already waiting for him.

-----

Harry arrived in the comms room and sat at his chair, everyone gave him a smile while he waved at the squad and his girlfriends, Ashley then sighed and shook her head "I can't believe everything we learned in Virmire...".

Kaidan sighed and shook his head as well "Everything got so intense in a matter of seconds as well, still, I can't believe Saren actually showed up, I would think he would want to stay away from Harry, he knows what he is after all".

Shepard huffed and shook his head "Saren seems to think that he doesn't have any other choice but to submit to the reapers, he probably felt he had to face Harry one way or the other".

Le Fay hummed for a few seconds as she crossed her legs while playing with the rim of her witch's hat "Sovereign did heavily upgrade Saren, those nanomachines were healing him at a very accelerated pace".

Harry nodded "Yeah, they were pretty impressive, I've only seen one being with a healing ability like that, in fact, I had destroyed Saren's heart and the nanomachines were able to rebuild it in seconds and keep him alive, though they did nothing about pain".

Kunou frowned and her fox ears flattened against her head "That seems unnecessarily cruel...".

Valerie nodded in agreement "Yeah, but what else can we expect from a machine ruled by logic? Sovereign probably didn't even care about Saren's pain".

Garrus sighed and shook his head "So Saren can heal from almost any wound and his biotics have been enhanced too, do we know what else he has in store for us?".

Harry nodded "He seemed to have a double layer of shields, biotics first and then his armor's shields, the actual armor itself, was also made of a highly dense material".

Everyone frowned at the news, Wrex grunted and then asked a question "Can our weapons breakthrough?".

Valerie grinned and nodded "Of course they can, one shot for each shield, and the armor itself wouldn't last long after that, the problem is the nanomachines though".

Tali rubbed her chin for a few moments and then piped in "I think those nanomachines can be overwhelmed".

Everyone turned their head toward Tali and gave her their full attention "Even if the nanomachines are that effective, they still need energy and materials to restore and heal Saren's body.

At some point, they will run out and Saren's healing will slow down, but given how much punishment Harry put Saren through, my guess is that the nanomachines will be able to last pretty long".

Harry nodded "Yes, I noticed that as well, but I also noticed that the more grievous the wounds the more material and energy the nanomachines would burn through.

After restoring Saren's heart they seem to slow down a bit, that's why I was going to go after his eyes and then brain, see if the nanomachines will be able to still heal him after that".

Everything, except Wrex, Kunou, Valerie, and Le Fay flinched, at what Harry was planning on doing to Saren, sure, they didn't feel bad for him, but it still sounded unpleasant nonetheless.

Wrex chuckled and nodded in exchange "So hurt him as hard as we can until he can no longer heal, I can do that easily".

Harry smiled at Wrex and nodded, Shepard then spoke up "Then we can take care of Saren, Sovereign will have to be left to Harry and the girls, that thing is unfortunately above us and the Normandy right now".

Everyone nodded in agreement, Liara then spoke up next "Shepard, I have an idea, I think that beacon you found in Saren's base was similar to the one you found on Eden Prime.

It might have filled in the missing pieces of your vision, I might be able to help you put all those pieces together ".

Shepard smiled and Liara and then gave her a nod before getting up from his chair "Let's do it Liara, I trust you and I know that with your help we might be able to get what we need".

Liara got up and nodded to Shepard with a smile on her face, she then walked up to him and began to softly speak to him "Relax, Shepard, embrace eternity!.".

Liara closed her eyes and then quickly opened them, showing everyone that they have turned black, a few seconds later, Liara walked back a bit and wobble "I... I never thought the images would be so... intense, I need a moment to collect myself.

Liara began to lose balance, but before anyone else could rush to help her, Ashley had done so right away and quickly caught her by the shoulders and helped her up "I got you Liara, take it easy".

Liara smiled at Ashley and nodded to her, Shepard walked up to Liara and gently rubbed her face "Are you alright?".

Liara smiled and then gave a reassuring nod to Shepard "Yes, I'm okay, the visions were just a bit to much for me... the visions are a distress call, a message sent across the prothean empire, a warning against the reapers, but the warning came too late".

Shepard nodded and then decided to ask something important "Did you see anything about the conduit?".

Liara nodded "There were other images, locations. places I recognize from my research... Ilos! The conduit is on Ilos! That is why Saren needed to find the Mu Relay! It's the only way to get to Ilos".

Harry raised an eyebrow "Ilos? What's that? And why didn't you mention it before Liara?".

Liara quickly answered Harry's questions "Ilos is a planet, a prothean home world, the Mu Relay links to dozen of systems and hundreds of worlds, it was impossible for me to know that Ilos was the one we wanted to find.

Without the cipher, the images in Shepard's visions were never clear, only now did I recognize them as landmarks of Ilos...".

Harry nodded "I see, seems like we really needed that cipher... but this also means that Saren knows this as well".

Shepard frowned and nodded to Harry "Then we need to get to Ilos and fast!".

Tali shook her head "Forget it, the Mu Relay's inside the Terminus System, Alliance ships are not welcome there, and neither are spectres".

Shepard shook his head and narrowed his eyes "The conduit's on Ilos, that's where Saren is heading, I'll be waiting for him when he gets there!".

Liara looked a bit worried "Saren will have his entire fleet orbiting Ilos, you will need to make it down to the surface without reinforcements, maybe we should alert the Council, we need a fleet to- ohh...".

Liara looked dizzy, so Ashley held onto her tightly with a worried expression on her face "Liara?".

Liara groaned in pain "I'm sorry... the joining is exhausting..., I should go to the medical bay and lie down for a moment".

Shepard nodded and turned to look at Ashley "Ash, take her to the medical bay and make sure she rests".

Ashley nodded "Sure leave it to me, Skipper!".

Shepard nodded, while Ashley then helped Liara walk out of the comms room, the asari smiled at Ashley and then said "Thanks Ashley, but I just need some rest somewhere quiet".

Ashley grinned at Liara and nodded "No problem, I'll just take you to Harry's workshop, I know it's quiet down there".

Shepard watched his girlfriends walk out of the comms room, he then sighed and smiled at everyone "Alright everyone, dismissed, go and take a rest".

The squad quickly got up and began to walk out to the comms room except for Harry, Joker then called Shepard via comms "Commander, there's a comm buoy nearby, I can link us in if you want to report back to the Citadel Council, you know, to warn them about Sovereign".

Shepard and Harry shared a look, both wondering if it would be a good idea to tell the Council about everything that happened in Virmire and how would they react.
