65. Power-Up

Nytri walks to the elevator and it takes her to the sleeping quarters, she sends an order. "Golem set meet me outside, and I need 50,000 soldiers, undead gods included." Nytri arrives at the sleeping quarters, she walks into her room and takes a shower, then dresses up in her usual jacket. She heads to the surface, as she reaches the entrance, she covers her eyes from the rays of the sun. She steps out of the bunker and sees the land before her, an army of 50,000 golems and automata with the undead gods at the front. They all salute.

Nytri smiles at this sight, "This brings back old memories. King." King golem walks over to her and bows, "My liege." Nytri looks over her army and at King, "King, I'm going out to test myself. You are part of my skills so I'll take you along. I'll keep you all in a storage space and summon you when I find a suitable target." King bows and waves his hands as the army bows. Nytri swipes her hand and except the undead gods, they all turn into lights and form a card in her hand. She swipes her hand down and space opens before the undead gods as they walk into it.

Nytri cracks her knuckles and walks to a panzer parked to the west of the bunker with multiple panzers also there. She picks one and enters it through the shutters in the back then hits a button to close it. She takes the driver's seat and starts the panzer. A map appears before her. "Now where should I go?" she taps her cheeks as she goes through the map. "A blue zone for manageable threats, red zone… I'll pick a red zone." She drives out of the lot then into the forest heading south of the mountain.

Nytri drove for 2 hours then she slows down, "This place has peaceful herbivores. I want to check it out." She drives to a stop then steps out of the panzer. "They were last sighted in the valley ahead." She taps the panzer as it turns into light then becomes a card in her hands. She turns towards the valley and starts to walk down into it, there are strange plants and monsters here but those that notice her didn't attack her. Some even stare at her and continue eating.

Nytri sees a giant monster that's long enough to pass the trees of over a kilometer in height. The monster has a mighty tail like a mighty tree that allows it to smack stone into sand, its legs are big and heavy as it leaves massive foot prints on the ground enough to make a pool. The neck of the monster is so long it reached above the trees and its skin is so tough even Adamantine couldn't cut it. "Waaoow beautiful. I didn't know this place could be so beautiful. I guess since I'm no longer fighting for my life, I can see the beauty around me. Oh, it's coming."

The monster sees Nytri and starts to approach her, Nytri isn't afraid. She knows it doesn't eat meat besides she's too small to even be a snack for something this big. What didn't scare her is that the monster is the one approaching her, if she approached it then it would be hostile. The monster arrives a bit far from her but when it brings its head down, it's right before her. "Ummm what's up?" It blinks and stares at her, it gives a low growl as if to communicate but Nytri doesn't speak monster. "I don't understand you, and I'm sure you don't understand me either. Do you mind if I take a ride on your head?" It blinks staring at her, "Oh you can't understand." Nytri makes a gesture with her hand as she makes it walk with her fingers to her head, then she walks around in a circle.

The monster closes its eyes as its head remains on the ground. "I guess that means I can get on." Nytri moves slowly and climbs up to its head, it opens its eyes and starts to lift its head. Its head passes the trees and Nytri sees the world above the trees. "Awesome, freaking awesome!!" the monster starts to walk in the direction it thought Nytri is heading as Nytri watches the massive creature walk across the land pushing trees aside and even knocking some over. "Its head is as big a house, the view is also incredible. I have really missed a lot of stuff living in that hole." A tear streams down her face.

"What?" She wipes it out then laughs. "Hehehehe, I didn't think I'd cry again. Crying doesn't fix anything. But I guess crying shows how I'm feeling. I'm so happy." Nytri rides on its head for a good hour before deciding to get down. "So how do I tell it I want to get down." She walks to the eye and then points to the ground and it lowers it head down and Nytri jumps down. "Thank you very much, I had fun." She bows her head as the monster stares at her, then it lifts its head and repeats the bow before leaving.

Nytri chuckles at this sight, "Maybe we can understand each other. Time for a battle, there should be a bug nest in this place. Why do I often end up going against bugs, they breed like bugs….hahahahaha" she takes a telescope and observes the land before her. Ahead of her is a sandhill or a mountain with many holes and swarming with bugs. Nytri takes out the panzer and drives there. "This telescope works wonders it can even see something 5 kilometers away." She drives to the location which now doesn't have any trees, just rocks and the nest ahead of her about a kilometer away.

"This seems like the perfect place to test myself. I'll get closer and try to appraise their queen." She sends the panzer into her storage space and uses WINGED FLIGHT to fly low on the ground as she gets closer to the nest. *BOOOM!!* "What was that?!" a giant dust cloud is seen from the nest as a part of it falls off. "A battle? With who?" a small Titanosaurian about 65meters fall through the nest holding what looks to be the biggest of the insects in its mouth.

Nytri's eye open wide at this sight, "What the- "The bugs start to swarm the Titanosaurian as it swings around missing all the bugs. "I guess being big has it's disadvantages." She flies closer and appraises the Titanosaurian.

"Well, since I can see its stats, it means I can beat it. Cool." Cards appear before her as it turns to light and her army appears before her including the undead gods. "The big monster is taking care of the queen bug. I say we deal with the small fries. I can at least level my skills up. Show me what you've got." The army bows as King takes control, the automata spread out as 6 started to change, more like grow. "Whoaah, the goliath automata can switch between big form and small form. Soo cool!" one of the undead gods becomes a giant like the goliath making Nytri admire it also, it kinda has a smirk.

The tesla automata move back as they start to create electricity and fire lightening at the swarm. The automata form ranks and charge at the swarm, Nytri observes everything. "Wait, what about the golems…ahh that's what they're doing." The golems are equipped with giant weapons, ranged and combat weapons. They grind through the swarm with ease with their sizes and fly to avoid heavy damage. The newcomers drew the attention of the swarm as the Titanosaurian has its snac- ahem prey to itself.

The steam knights charge forward while the golems flank them. The sentinels are mainly for defense, but they are also skilled fighters. They surround the area and kill any insect that comes close.

Nytri summons her clones, "You guys seem stronger."

Clone1 is in a lab coat, "I doubt you called us to fight." She's exhausted with little to no sleep.

Nytri smiles, "I called you to spectate, in case I die I can transfer to you."

Clone7 makes a frustrated face, "Have a little compassion for us okay."

Nytri chuckles, "I will, but not now." She charges into battle as she takes out a giant axe from her storage space and 4 longswords floats around her. She points her hand ahead of her as the swords attack and cut the bugs into pieces. Nytri rushes towards a bug and swings her axe like a tornado as she chops the bugs up and she moves deeper into them.

The experience is flooding to Nytri as she keeps leveling up. Some of her summons fall, but she continues to create more. The swarm starts to overpower her, then. "BERSERK." She bursts into a red aura as all her summons enter such a state and fight back 10 times better than before. In 45 minutes Nytri has killed all the bugs leaving only the Dread Matriarch. Nytri looks ahead and sees that the Titanosaurian is gone. "How does something so big disappears without a trace. No matter more for me." Nytri rushed towards the queen bug as her army follows. "It's a lot bigger up close."
