A dragon devouring faeries (TOME 15 of the TIAMAT'S WARS SERIE)

Approaching

On a screen, Archeron was watching films of fights between animals, each more savage than the other, on one of the most inhospitable planets.

He saw a raging sea and unfathomable cliffs with only atmosphere in the cliffs and canyons, the air on the plateaus having disappeared leaving the void of space, meteorites and death all around yet life clung on with its fiercest.

Black birds, half insect, half pterodactile, clawed and lacerated a kind of soft delta wing, like a huge manta ray.

This one had a single eye and launched attacks of fireballs and psyche against the bird and this one answered with a lightning bolt.

The 2 monsters of roughly equal strength had been fighting for some time and were being watched by a team of Ummites aboard their new combat shuttle.

They looked like a mixture of a saucer, a plane and a sperm whale.

The mantis collapsed, burned out, and soon after, the bird fell, exhausted, but the shuttle caught it in the air with a net and left immediately for the Black Moon, the military production base of the secret Ummite weapons.

A little later, the small saucer dropped its sleeping catch in a huge hangar and the animal was exposed to various rays opening its dna and its cells to nano robots which transformed it into a kind of animal robot, a fury. His strength, his anger and his powers were multiplied tenfold by science.

Then the Idol contacted Emperor Volkor in his flying fortress and his fleet was refueling with ammunition, new shuttles and 2 amiral shuttles were also refueling with golgothes.

For a long time they had anticipated the arrival and visit of the Devourer's imperial fleet, even expecting to face this monster.

But the Devourer feared no one but another primal animal god. The Winged Lion...

The electric raven screamed as it awoke from the pain and the injection of lasernium and nanobots that reshaped its structure and sculpted its mind to the command and order system of the Ummite fleet.

The immense robot in another room had just undergone the latest modifications, an electromagnetic laser, a system between light and magnetism capable of repelling and reversing gravitational waves and many other gadgets resulting from observations and conquests.

These were no longer weapons of pomp and politics protected by the powers of a god but real weapons that did not need the support of a god. They were weapons of science.

The shuttles surpassed everything that had been built before and surpassed in performance the Electron shuttles and ships.

The motivation of the engineers.

The Electrons ruled by fear and domination and the Ummites and their allies by survival instinct now that the yoke of Tyrant was off. The Ummites did not want to bend, they wanted to win. And...their empire had integrated all kinds of populations and also humans.

Observation shuttles were sent to the area where Tyrant had perished and they were nearing the end of their journey.

But the fleet that had begun to head for Earth shifted to the Black Moon for refueling and critical upgrades. All this because of the Electron fleet that had appeared near a space alteration, on the edge of a black hole. This is where the Midway was with the Electron fleet of which it was now a part.

Nicolai and Dantinne were waiting for a signal or simply for the arrival of "Pere".

Nicolaï dreamed of being the third head....even Dantinne did not understand... probably a complex or a devastating madness or simply violence become a drug.
