Harem Assassins : King Sekton's Harem Planet, Book 2: A Space Opera Harem Adventure by Baron Sord (top inspirational books .txt) 📗

As loud as the sounds of raging battle were, my voice was louder than literal bombs. I had cranked the decibels up to the high 290’s, which was in fact louder than dynamite detonating. My words got the attention of everyone, space demons and guardswomen alike. Even the remaining three CyberKnights on their robot horses turned to look.

“THAT’S RIGHT!” I boomed. “IF YOU WANT MY DAMN RINGS, COME AND GET THEM!”

At that point, I deployed my helmet and visor, then rocketed into the Chaos Gate.

“Don’t go in there, my king!” Captain Theia shrieked over comms. “You don’t know where it leads! If it closes, you might never return!”

Now she tells me.

—: Chapter 36 :—

“Don’t let the white CyberKnight through the Chaos Gate!” I shouted over comms the second before I passed through the churning plane of whirling and spiraling triangles. “He’s trapped in that big osmium ball in the clearing! Keep him there as long as you can!”

My theory was, he was my ticket back home.

Hopefully, the other CyberKnights wouldn’t close the Chaos Gate until the white CyberKnight came through to chase after them and me. Of course, his companions might leave him for dead on Zalaxia and close the Chaos Gate as soon as they flew through to follow me, but I didn’t have much choice. Not if I wanted to save guardswomen.

Then again, even if the gate did close, there was always a chance the white CyberKnight would open it himself before passing back through, allowing me to zip back over to Zalaxia from wherever I ended up.

Whatever happened, my gambit was a dangerous gamble.

As I passed through the spinning triangles that were the Fold plane of the Chaos Gate, there was that briefly surreal and paradoxical process I’d experienced when the Artemis had folded from Jupiter to Zalaxia. It was that unnerving sensation of omniscient awareness of all things and all time at the same time. Kissing infinity. And every women on Zalaxia all at once and none, everything writhing at the same time in a fractal maze of feminine flesh. The universal song of life and death, unlife and undeath all at once, never and always.

Suddenly, I was flying in space on the other side of the Chaos Gate.

Stars against blackness.

Total silence.

My power armor was pressurized and protected me from the frigid vacuum.

No surprise, none of the constellations were familiar, not that I looked for long. As I hurtled forward, I glanced behind. Sure enough, a flurry of space demons were already bursting out through the triangles on the surface of the gate.

I maxed out my power armor thrusters and added a hefty POSITION vector from my ring to accelerate me forward and away from the chasing horde.

After an initial burst of demons coming through the Chaos Gate, I saw several guardswomen following, some of them in golden power armor — my Shock Knights. Shortly after appearing, their golden armor blacked out. They must have camouflaged themselves, or their armor had done it automatically. I remembered my armor could do the same, so I mentally commanded it to emulate the blackness of space.

“Captain Theia!” I shouted over comms. “Is that you?!”

“Yes, my king! We need to get you back to Zalaxia! It’s not safe here!”

At that moment, a group of red space demons exploded from the gate, followed by the red CyberKnight and more red demons. Incredibly, the red CyberKnight’s mechanical horse freaking transformed into some sort of space skimmer. By transform, I meant it folded, hinged, retracted and extended in transformable-robot fashion obviously. I hesitated to call the end result a space bike — certainly not an air bike — because it was more massive than a motorcycle, and had uber-huge plasma thrusters on the back, and they were blasting away on afterburner. When the red CyberKnight and his red demons saw the Shock Knights and guardswomen ahead of them, they opened fire.

I hollered over comms, “Captain Theia! You need to go back! Everyone needs to go back!”

“I won’t leave you, my king!”

I didn’t have time to argue and I needed to look where I was going.

When I whipped my head around to face forward, I couldn’t believe what I saw. In the distance and slightly to the side floated what appeared to be a tetrahedral planetoid. For you gamers, it was shaped like a 4-sided die. From my position, I could see three of the four surfaces. One was black, one red, one white.

Anyone want to bet the back side was radiation green?

A quick scan told me the following facts. The tetrahedral planetoid was quite large. The edges of it were at least several hundred kilometers long, based on the scale of the visible weather patterns. Strangely, everything on any given face of the planetoid was monochromatic to match. For example, the black face had black clouds, black terrain, black rivers, and black vegetation. The same held true for the red side where all things were shades of red, and the white side where all things were shades of white.

As I raced toward the point of the planetoid’s nearest corner, slanted buildings became visible on each of the three faces. Castle towers, in fact. Surrounded by slanting, crenelated walls in the midst of which was a medieval keep. These structures weren’t standing perpendicular to the face on which they stood. No, they slanted. Tilted wildly toward the point of the pyramid. This was true for all three sides. It made an odd sort of sense because the vertical centerline of each structure pointed toward the center of the tetrahedron’s mass, which demanded the crazy, leaning style of construction.

How bizarre.

Not surprisingly, the collection of castle towers on each face — black, red, and white — were built from stones of the same color as everything else on their respective faces.

The obvious question: would every inhabitant be the same color?

Based on the demons I’d seen already, I guessed yes.
