With upgrades for his core troops in place, the design for nanite armour was applied to the rest of the Technocracy.
From his Yeagers to his XC-02, which will be advanced to XC-03, the nanites' armour will be harder to deal with, as the armour can rapidly recover after just a few moments.
The self-replicating feature is something nanites are well known for in science fiction and all sorts of universes.
But simply slapping nanites on everything doesn't work. For example, warships need greater structural integrity, which is why Marcus reviewed the designs and adjusted how he wants nanites to work on the ships.
His answer was under the armour plating, like how people have layers on their bodies, so will his ships have those.
After doing all these jobs, he continued further, as he had bugs. A lot of bug corpses in the system, and he had their data.
'But where to use it?'
For a few minutes, he wondered what they could offer to his Technocracy.
He had minions already… in the form of Klaxosaurians.
But then his eyes widened.
Oh…
'Like tyranids… oh…oh…'
A grin appeared on his lips. This was it! He has found a vanguard for his future invasion!
He can rely on a swarm of killer bugs to slaughter through armies, and not only that, but he doesn't need to bother with upgrades or care about their well-being like now.
There is no need for a recycling system or care for weaponry; he can just use a swarm of killer bugs with big teeth, use killer wave tactics, and kill all the insignificant opposition.
With this tactic, only the strong will survive, which he can use to add to his Technocracy.
However, such tactics will have a lot of collateral damage.
'I need several killer switches and control methods for them to obey me.'
With a simple hand motion, he summoned an array of DNA sequences he pillaged from the Swarm.
There were several types of bugs, from big chunky ones to smaller swift ones.
"...You are not planning to bring them back." Firefly, who was sticking around, asked him in a bit of nervous voice.
"Not them. But something completely new." He replied.
"...What… for?"
"To improve the survivability of my knights," Marcus replied.
"My Technocracy's military doctrine dictates complete and utter annihilation of the opposition.
It's like this because I do not believe in war. War is when two powers with similar strengths wage a conflict. But I believe in the utter destruction of my enemies. My knights, ships, or mechs won't be destroyed this way.
This leaves cannon fodder troops that I can use to bring destruction to my enemies."
"...In other words, you will bring the swarm back… to serve you," Kallen, on his lap, commented as she looked a bit terrified of the prospect of using space bugs as a force.
"I do have to develop several kill switches and means to control before doing anything remotely resurrecting." He explained to her that he had gone through DNA, stripping it down to the bare bones before adding anything new.
Since he was spending hours doing this, Kafka and his maid got tired and decided to do something else. At that moment, Kallen realised how boring this could be for her.
Only Firefly didn't go anywhere as she felt it was her duty… to stay with him. Honestly, the girl is far too honest, as Marcus wouldn't mind if she went to do something, as when he is nerding out, he can do that for days.
~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~
"Ugh…" Kiana felt lost. The hangars were huge, like… cities full of piers for ships to dock!!!
Apparently, only one of the piers is in use, and she still can't find it!
"Umm… Sirin?"
A girl's voice got her attention. It came from above? The blue-eyed valkyrie looked up.
Spotting a girl dressed in a sailor uniform and a leather coat with a captain's hat, looking at her. She was floating in the air.
"What are you doing here?" The silver-haired ship girl landed next to her.
"I thought you were invading a world."
Kiana quickly realised that this girl had confused her with her evil counterpart.
"Wait…" Enterprise frowned for a second as she could not sense any psionic energy from her.
"You are not Sirin." For a second, she narrowed her eyes as Kiana could sense something huge was 'staring' down on her.
It was… an enormous presence.
"I am Kiana, Sirin brought me from that conquered world."
The ship girl with crossed arms nodded, as she had already done an identity scan. Enterprise noticed this girl's clearances, which made her a bit concerned.
"I see… so you are the 'good side', making you able to access the same clearances. Still, it could be some sort of error as people simply don't get the same rank just because you are a twin, like existence."
The Carrier ship commented as she looked her up and down.
"Why are you in the docks?" The silver-haired girl asked with a bit more seriousness.
"To see Marcus! He was supposed to be at the station, but he just left to explore space!" Kiana huffed. She can't believe this girl thinks the Valkyrie would do something!
"I see, then I am coming with you." Enterprise inserted herself in this 'mission'. Psionic energy surrounded Kiana as they began to float.
"I will take you to the Ship."
The girl didn't have time to comment as she felt that there was no gravity surrounding her! She fell forward but didn't land on her face. Instead, she began to spin, and it didn't stop as Enterprise carried her away, towards a huge docked Dreadnought in the distance.
"H-Hold it, I can't stop spinning!" Kiana tried to stop, but she had nothing to hold on to!
However, Enterprise ignored her plight as they flew and landed not far from the gangplank that leads to Dreadnought's upper levels, where the bridge is.
Upon landing, she removed the psionic field around Kiana, and the girl landed on her stomach.
"Oof!"
The girl stumbled for a bit before standing up. Well, at least she brought her to the warship, right?
"Let's go. I have found his location. He is on the opposite side of this galaxy. From the looks of it, he is claiming that area under his control," Enterprise explained as she began to walk towards the ship's entrance.
Kiana quickly caught up as she was listening to what the girl was saying.
"How do you know that?" The white haired valkyrie asked her curiously.
"HUD interface, it's a standard issue gear for Technocracy."
The reply didn't explain to Kiana, so Enterprise simplified it.
"We have a computer interface in our vision. It allows us to interact with the Aurora Network. Since Admiral is always connected to the network, we always see where he is."
"Oh…"
Now that the ship girl explained, Kiana wondered if everyone in this faction is closer to a cyborg than a human.
"...I see… does it mean you are like Belfast?"
Enterprise perked up hearing the fellow ship girl.
"She is a light cruiser and I am a carrier ship."
The reply made Kiana confirm that this girl was one of those. Only these weird girls call themselves by warship classifications.
"Okay." With a nod, the white haired girl nodded as she followed after Enterprise.
"So why do you need Admiral?" The silver-haired girl asked her as they were walking towards the entrance of the warship. The carrier ship was sizing up the copy-like of Sirin. They were identical, except for the eyes and power levels.
Then she noticed the disposition: This girl doesn't have that aura of a Queen and does not radiate pride.
The longer the ship girl looked at her, the more she could see the differences between those two.
"..."
Well, Kiana doesn't know how to explain that… she has a scheme with Sirin, but her evil version can't leave the room, so she needs to persuade him to see Sirin in extension of her in the Void Queen's room.
"Let me guess… You want him."
Kiana trembled for a bit. It was enough for Enterprise.
"That is so obvious that it's not funny anymore. Even Goddesses want him in their beds. Everyone wants his powers, his creations, his armies, his technology.
Sadly, one day he will get tired of it, once that happens…
I wonder what the multiverse will look like." The silver-haired girl pondered out loud.
Kiana was a bit pale, realising that it could happen.
"...Aren't you worried?" She tried to ask, to see what this weird girl would say.
"Why would I worry? I am his creation, and my place in the Technocracy won't change. I exist to assist him. Whatever he chooses, I will always help him.
Regardless of what it is."
'She is a fanatic!'
The white-haired valkyrie realised these ship girls were as dangerous as that guy!
Enterprise looked at how Kiana was reacting. It was clear that she was uncomfortable with that reply.
"What? You thought I would turn against someone who created me? Gave me a second chance? Gave me soul and human form?" The silver-haired carrier ship scoffed.
"No, that is not it." Kiana shook her head. "I am more concerned about innocent people."
The answer made Enterprise look at her a bit more, before asking something she was always curious about.
"Innocent? Define innocent for me. Because, as someone who watched civilisations rise and fall, it's hard for me to understand what you wish to defend."
"...This…well… people who just want to live their lives, who are unrelated to these conflicts…"
Enterprise looked at her with a bit of confusion.
"Your definition is weird… oh, I see… this is because your mind can only understand small human lifespans." The ship girl nodded seriously to herself.
"...?" Kiana didn't know how to respond to that!
"I mean… normal people and their normal things…doing things unrelated to any of this…" The girl spread her hands, motioning towards the warships.
"And you think… because of that, they should not be touched?" Enterprise frowned. "So what about the resources? Are they allowed to consume everything? Spoil the land, pollute the water? Why do they deserve such a sacred treatment? As someone created for war, I don't understand your hypocrisy…"
"...Ugh…" The girl didn't know how to respond to that.
"...Well…Can we regrow what we took? I mean… It's not THAT bad…"
"Your naivete is amusing. No wonder Sirin hates your guts." Enterprise giggled as the pair finally walked into the ship. The large doors behind them sealed shut.
"There is a reason why there is something called an ecosystem. Why predators feast on herbivores and why plant eaters consume vegetation.
It's to keep things in check. Achieving self-awareness removes us from such a thing. It means that we need to self-govern.
Yet, we don't do that. That is why my Master has his plans in motion.
Our Technocracy WILL bring order to this broken system." The ship girl sharply explained to her
"...You mean conquer the multiverse?" Kiana was not a stranger to Marcus' goals.
"Precisely, things like these will be decided on the battlefield. Who deserves what, what is wrong and what is right. If you think what he does is wrong and you wish to protect parasites, then by all means attack Admiral…"
The white haired girl grimaces upon hearing that. Yeah…right… she attack him? Is this ship girl nuts?
"I am not insane enough to attack him. Conventional means don't work on him." The Valkyrie sighed in an exaggerated manner.
"So that is why you are trying to change his mind. Sadly, your opposition is steep." The carrier ship-girl nodded as she understood the angle.
"You need to throw yourself into it and expect the best." Enterprise looked at her with a bit of pity in her gaze.
She is pitying this girl for the silly ideas she is following. Maybe that is why her Admiral is interested in her? To satiate his sadism.
"I know what I must do. That is why we are going to him, no?" Kiana didn't look disheartened when she heard that from Enterprise.
"Indeed, I wish to report my success in person to him." The ship girl smiled while saying that.
~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~
Meanwhile, at the base outside the time flow, Quinella is preparing for her departure.
Midway, the Goddess of Wisdom learned about her plans.
The massive ship movement is something hard to miss.
"I will travel with you. It has been a while since I saw Marcus." Athena pushed her glasses up as she was eager to see the inventor.
"Indeed, and see the new competitor for his attention." The platinum-haired assistant reminded her of the City Heiress from an ice planet.
"Ah, yes, the alien girl who looks human." The Goddess nodded as she realised how odd it is that this world has humans.
It's so weird!
"She is human. Her DNA has been acquired. We have blood, hair, and tissue. She is less than 1% different from a regular human. Such numbers are negligible." Quinella summoned her interface with her thoughts and showed Bronya's DNA.
Athena inspected it.
"Curious, some of it makes no sense." She noticed some anomalies.
"Yes, it appears the universe she is from has some strange conceptual powers that impact the DNA." The assistant pointed at the anomalies.
"I see. I wish to speak with her." Athena was very interested in the new 'sister'. Whatever Marcus added should not be boring person.
"Good that she piqued your interest." Quinella brushed her fingers through her hair before telling something quite important.
"We are approaching the end of our time-travelling journey."
"Oh?"
That was something Athena didn't see coming!
"Most of the time periods are covered by Assimilators. We even have a new Assimilator stationed in Carboniferus."
The brown-haired goddess looked surprised. Wasn't that time period fully researched? Why was the new Assimilator dedicated there?
"Why?"
"Occupation force. That is why." Quinella pointed out. This made the Goddess of Wisdom realise they had switched from research to conquest.
It didn't take long…
"Let me guess… technology level?" Athena had a hunch about such a switch.
"Indeed, or at least that is what I think. Master didn't explain his actions to me, not that I can demand such a thing."
"I see. Regardless, we should begin our journey to his location." Athena looked at the warships pointing at the green clouds below.
"Indeed, I will leave the base for Grayfia and Gu Yuena to watch over."
Quinella grimaced for a bit as she saw the data for MK3 armours. The dragon girl immediately became fascinated by the upgrades, to the point that she ignored the Assistant's calls.
"I see. I thought she would be happy to see him again." Athena commented on Gu Yuena's behaviour.
"I thought the same thing, but then she ignored my calls." Quinella rolled her eyes. She tried direct connection and hologram projection.
"So she is preoccupied." The Goddess of Wisdom knows that feeling well.
She used to be busy reading, which is how she missed the Roman occupation of Greece.
One moment, it was full of city states, the next, red banners of SPQR were all over the peninsula…
That experience baffled her a bit. Humans live far too short, so their actions can seem crazy to her.
"Yeah, she is a dragon, so her actions can be weird." Quinella showed the Goddess a strained smile as they began to walk towards the super lifts.
These pressurised tubes move rapidly through the enormous floors of the planet-sized base.
As normal lifts would be far too slow.
"True, even regular dragons from our Earth can be strange." The Goddess smiled for a bit. If a regular dragon can have pride issues, one with infinite resources is even worse.
~~~~~~Back With Marcus, Several Hours Later~~~~~~
It has been quite some time since Marcus began his work on making the bugs. Even before that, he spent several hours designing the MK3 nanite armours and improving DNA.
By this point, the white-haired girl on his lap had gotten used to it… to the point that she had gathered enough courage to move around and even cuddle.
However, all of that cuddling began to affect her. While she can't brag about her resistance, it crumbled some time ago.
All the back, waist, and leg stroking began to heat her up. The last couple of strokes broke her resistance.
Her resistance originated from the fact that she was 'new' and did not wanting to look like someone who would get in front of the line.
She was well aware that several girls were itching to prove themselves.
But honestly… she doesn't care anymore!
"... You've been working for a while, and it's getting late. Why don't we retire for the day?" Kallen whispered into his ear as she wrapped her hands around his neck.
There was no hesitation in her actions, no second thoughts.
Marcus snapped out of his work and looked down. He could see that Kallen's cheeks were rosy. That moment, he realised that her defences had crumbled, and now she was feeling IT.
Well…
The Inventor was partially at fault here as he got carried away while working.
When his eyes went to the clock, he was surprised to find that it was already nighttime. He had two clocks: one for Jarilo VI and one for Technocracy. They didn't differ that much.
Regardless, it was late, and he needed to stop for now.
"You are right. I need a bit of rest." He agreed with her and motioned for her to stand up. Kallen needed a moment to realise that, as she was way too comfortable, whatever heat Marcus was radiating was like a blanket. She started to feel safe… to the point that her body began to react in a strange way.
As the pair got up, the other girl who was 'camping' on the bridge also got up.
She swiftly walked to the pair.
"Are we going somewhere?" Firefly asked curiously.
"Marcus is going to rest, and I will help him~," Kallen replied as she pushed her breasts into his side. There was a lustful smirk on her face.
The silver-blonde Iron Cavalry girl perked up when she heard that. She did not understand the real meaning, so she jumped on the boat.
"I want to help Marcus rest, too!" The girl clenched her hand in front of her chest.
Kallen smirked for a bit as she looked at him.
"Sure, if Marcus wants~~." The girl didn't care; all she wanted was to show him that she was perfect for this job.
"If you want," He shrugged. He saved her; that was all that mattered to him. If she wanted to throw herself at him, he wouldn't stop her; nope, he would hug her.
"Of course I want!"
Sure enough, the trio began to walk towards his quarters, and Firefly wondered why Kallen was hugging him so much.
For some reason, she started to feel weird as well.
They arrived at his quarters in a short few minutes, and Kallen 'moved in'. The girl kissed him as she could barely control herself. Her kiss was awkward, but it was sending a clear message to him.
That moment Marcus moved as well, his hands went for her ass cheeks he picked her up and began to take her to his bedroom.
Firefly, who saw all of this, could not believe what she was seeing.
Her understanding of this was very limited. In truth, it was a forbidden act for her 'species'. As a genetically altered being created in a lab, such actions were clearly against the rules.
Not that she knew why, but she was certain that those old rules didn't apply anymore.
If she wants to procreate with her saviour, no one can stop her!
With a serious look, she followed after them.
The silver-blonde girl's eyes widened as she saw them naked in the bed. Kallen was underneath, and Marcus was on the top.
She saw how he spread the girl's legs, and his thing began to sink into the white-haired girl's special place.
"Ohhhh~~ Yess~~" Kallen moaned in a passionate tone as if she wanted this for a while.
Not that it was the end, as Marcus pulled out and then pushed in.
"Mhnnn~~~"
Bit by bit, a lewd sound began to spread through the room as Firefly bit her lower lip from watching this.
This act… is affecting her in a strange way, from looking to hearing, her body is behaving strangely.
'Is this the so-called biological reaction?'
Her understanding is very limited, but her cheeks turned rosy, and she felt like she wanted to be part of this! She wanted her saviour to do things to her!
As she was looking, Kallen was feeling it. His hard and hot thing was moving through her velvet cave, changing to his size and shape.
It was doing it ruthlessly and without mercy. The girl had no idea, but this was perfect, just the way she wanted.
Going faster and faster, then slowing down and moving in the way she wants.
Whatever he was doing, he was masterfully controlling her every desire.
To the point that she quickly reached her peak.
"Gnnhhhhn~~"
The White Haired girl moaned from the top of her lungs as she crossed her legs, not allowing him to pull out his cock from her pussy.
She wanted every single drop from him. As someone who saw him as all mighty, marking her like this was a dream come true.
With her womb being flooded, the girl twitched several times until he was done unloading his seed.
Once she was done, her legs gave in, and Marcus could get out. He turned around and looked at Firefly, who could not remove her eyes from this act.
"What will you do next?" He asked the beauty as he got on his feet and stood before her.
The silver-blonde girl looked at him and then at his tool. A small gulp escaped from her lips. Whatever desire she was feeling, it was becoming uncontrollable.
To the point that a bit of drool started to drip from the corner of her lips.
"...Please… do the same thing to me…" She replied after controlling her drool.
Marcus smiled a bit. It would seem she is struggling to resist and not just jump in. The girl has quite a bit of discipline.
"In that case~~." He leaned forward and claimed her lips. Firefly closed them as she felt that it was the right thing to do.
Bit by bit, the kissing picked up speed, and the girl felt that she should hug him; it was…something she wanted to do.
As she pushed herself into him, his hands went on her rear, and he began to feel her up; her bum was plump enough for him to enjoy it.
The girl was a bit fuller than Kallen, who had the exact same body type as Sirin and Kiana: slender and athletic, while Firefly… was more in the perfect middle.
Sure enough as he enjoyed enough of her rear, his right hand went on lower and his fingers stroked through her damp pussy as he can feel the wetness through the thin fabric of her panties.
The beauty in his hands trembled as she pulled back and looked at him. Her glazed, ocean blue and pink eyes gazed at him.
"...Continue~~ let me feel more of this~~~." With a hot breath she whispered.
Marcus smiled at her response as he handed her panties and pulled them down.
His actions a bit confused her, won't he undress her completely?
"Relax, and leave this to me~." He whispered as he could sense her confusion.
Once he pulled those panties down midway, the rest of the way, he used his psionic powers.
Firefly wondered what was next, as this was unfamiliar territory to her.
His hands returned to her bum as he picked her up and then lowered her on his cock.
"Oh…"
The girl could feel his hot and sturdy things slowly spreading her special place and then sinking deeper into her.
The silvery blonde girl bit her lower lip as she could feel pleasure and pain erupt in her special place.
"Mhnnn~~"
A few moments later, his rod touched her proof of maidenhood.
"Are you ready?" He whispered, making her slowly nod.
Marcus squeezed her bum one more time before pushing her down. Firefly's eyes widened as his tool reached her deepest parts.
"NHNNN~"
A sound similar to moan escape from her lips, as The Inventor moved in to kiss her again, the girl quickly answered back as the pair's tongues began to wrestled, midway he began to move the beauty on his cock.
Slowly, she moved up and down. Her speed was slow, but she quickly began to feel it. The girl quickly wrapped her legs around his waist.
As she tried to look for the best angle, the girl adapted at a rapid pace and began to assist in moving by herself.
Going faster and with heated passion as her special place would squeeze and release his rod according to the movement, trying to drain his seed.
After a while, the beauty entered a sexual frenzy as she wanted more. Their kissing turned into a make-out session as Marcus showed her how to kiss with even more intimacy.
Midway, Firefly's whole body trembled as she experienced her first climax.
*Muffled Moans*
The beauty squeezed her legs even more as she tried to drain him as much as she could.
But sadly for her, no seed came out. She realised that and began to move again.
Seeing such an eager girl, Marcus sat on the edge of the bed, giving her a better angle to move.
He stopped kissing and looked at her. "Show me how good you can move."
The silver blonde beauty slowly nodded to his request as her glazed eyes desired more. She pulled back a bit and then began to rise and fall on his cock.
"Mhhnnn~~~"
"Mhhnnn~~~"
"Ohhh~~~"
Passionate moans erupted from her lips as Marcus' hands went to her considerable assets.
He used his psionic powers to make her clothes disappear. Once gone, he began to tease her hard nipples.
"Nghhn~??"
For a second, she was confused as now he was assaulting her on both fronts.
Still, she quickly returned to riding on his tool as it was her mission; the girl was giving her all.
Going faster and faster, then… she felt it, his tool began to twitch, her instincts flared up, Firefly knew he was close to giving her his seed.
So her riding intensified, her bum started to smack his thighs as she moved up and down.
"Give it to me~~~ I want ittt~~" the silver-blonde beauty exclaimed in lewd tone as she smacked her ass down.
With one more smack, the floodgates opened and his essence erupted into her defenceless womb.
"Ohhhh~~~" the girl's mouth opened as her tongue came out, she couldn't believe how good this was feeling. She never expected that insemination would be this good.
Her whole body trembled from pleasure, as he moved her hips clockwise then anticlockwise, forward and back, trying to take all of his seed.
At that moment, she understood why this was forbidden. Honestly… it made sense… but thankfully, none of those rules applied to her anymore.
This time, she can do this as much as she wants with Marcus!
"Hehehehe~~~," Firefly giggled as she looked at him. Her eyes were full of lust, and she wanted to go for another round.
"Hey! I was the first one!"
The pair turned to the side. They saw Kallen looking at her with a small pout. Her hair was a mess, as she had just woken up from her sexually induced sleep.
"You can continue once Marcus exhausts me~~~ until then, it's my turn~~~. " The silvery blonde's eyes gleamed with desire, and she didn't care if Kallen thought it was her turn.
"Since this is what you want," The inventor acknowledged her request and moved into the bed with her in his hands.
Once there, he lay on his back and allowed her to be on top.
"Since you girls said you wanted me to rest, this is where you will be moving~~." He explained in a teasing voice. Firefly looked at the current situation for a bit. It didn't take her long to understand what he meant.
The girl spread her legs, placed her hands on his chest, and began to move. Her movement was awkward for a couple of moments before she got the hang of it.
The silver-blonde girl showed Marcus and Kallen why she was a great 'pilot'. The way she moved her waist and rotated her hips made the inventor groan.
His voice made her desire burn even more as she once again smacked her bum with force.
Her movement increased, moving faster and faster until she felt that he was close to releasing his second load into her.
"Ohhh~~~Yesss~~~" Firefly moaned from the top of her lungs as she felt him releasing more of his seed into her.
The girl gazed at the ceiling as her back arched. After a couple of moments, she collapsed on him, breathing deeply as drowsiness took over. She felt like taking a nap.
"My turn!"
Kallen, who waited patiently, swiftly moved the girl to the side and then strangled her on his lap. She looked at him with a hungry gaze.
The girl can't wait to show him that she was not that easily beaten! She was a warrior like Firefly, riding him like there was no tomorrow.
"Hehehe, let me show you that I can do this just as much as Firefly, maybe even better!" Kallen hotly said to him as she positioned herself to take in that hard and hot rod of his.
