Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

392 Champion Onana's decision

After 3 weeks of moving through uncharted space, Champion Onana's Frigate finally caught up and reunited with General Aztog's fleet.

During the battle of Planet Titania, the Frigate was by far the fastest of the Battleships. When Champion Onana made the decision to risk his life for them, while General Aztog hesitated, the Captain of the Roman Rider reacted faster.

He knew Onana best and understood when he was serious.

This was why the Roman Rider accelerated and gained a head start. Another fact was, a Frigate was one of the fastest of all Battleship classes.

It compromised a lot of other advantages to focus on speed.

None of the other Battleships on that battlefield could compete with it on that aspect. This was why apart from being the first to escape Planet Titania's gravity, the Roman Rider also suffered the least damage.

As soon as it escaped outside, without hesitation, it jumped into warp travel to escape before the Space Bug could make use of any desperate counterattack.

Warp travel was a complicated means of traveling through space.

Since they didn't drop their coordinates to General Aztog's fleet, they missed themselves during the escape. After escaping though, the single fact that reunited them was their burning desire to rescue Champion Onana.

A week and some days after the Golden Cicada rescued Champion Onana, the Roman Rider was finally able to reunite with the General's fleet.

While the Champion recovered from his injuries, they served as the scout who scoured the surrounding space for any threats.

It was during one of these routine scouts that they detected a signal.

Wom! Wom! Wom!

The long-ranged sensors of the Frigate caused alarms to ring throughout the fleet as it sent feeds of its discovery to the local networks of the other Spaceships.

Due to the extreme range at which the long-ranged sensors captured it, it was blurry but they were able to get an overall view.

"The Grade A Space Bug!" They were shocked.

"It entered space with its underlings?!"

While the others were shocked, only Champion Onana revealed a look like this was only a matter of time. "Like I expected". He sighed.

General Aztog and the Captains focused on the Champion.

On his recovery bed, Champion Onana looked at them. "I don't know if I've told you all this before, but I have a special bloodline Eye ability".

"It allows me to read and view history into the past of anyone and anything that I set my eyes on if I activate it. It's effectiveness depends on my power in relative to that of my target, it determines how far I can see".

"…"

For a few seconds, silence dominated this cabin as they stared at him.

"Ahem…" He coughed. "I know some of the lewd things you guys do, I simply decide not to speak up on it, no need to give me that eye".

"…!"

Some of the higher-ups present coughed awkwardly.

Champion Onana ignored them and continued. "When I looked into the history of the Grade A Space Bug, I saw a lot about him and comparing it with his words then, I made my conclusion".

"From his history, the Space Bugs were slaves of the ruling race whose Emperor ruled the Roronoa Star System in the old era. For large parts of his life, all he lived for was to serve those that were higher than him".

"He was born a slave and he lived as a slave".

"He lived a mistreated and brutalized life till the destruction".

"Faced with the prospect of defeat, the Emperor of the ruling Empire pulled the suicide trigger and caused the Radioactive Pulse that killed the Roronoa Star System. The Space Bugs were the only ones who survived".

"For centuries, they were enslaved and forced to work on radioactive materials which built their resistance to radiation".

"In the end, this was what saved them".

"After the destruction, feeding on the resources of Planet Titania, the Planet they were forced to work on and the radiation from the Giant Star, they grew by leaps and bounds and become the force that drove us out 3 weeks ago".

"As the most senior Space Bug who survived the destruction, he became the leader. Traumatized by his life as a slave, he wished to become an Emperor too".

"He was tired of being a slave, he wanted to experience what it felt like to be an Emperor, a real Emperor".

"With no subjects in hand, he forced his brothers into becoming his subjects. For centuries, he ruled as their Emperor until he discovered us".

"Discovering us birthed a new ambition in him".

"I know him". Champion Onana's eyes gleamed. "He wants to become the Emperor of this new Roronoa Star System and rule with an iron fist".

"He wants to feel what the Emperor of the old era felt".

"To achieve his goal, he will do anything".

By the time that Champion Onana finished explaining, all the higher-ups in this cabin of the Golden Cicada felt a chill crawl down their spines.

"This means he is coming after us?" Captain Chan asked.

"Yes". Champion Onana nodded with a grave look on his face.

He looked at them. "We have to be prepared".

"Do you have a plan?" General Aztog asked.

"A matter of fact, yes". Champion Onana nodded.

"We need to return to the Giant Nak Fortress and properly recover from this defeat. After that, we kick-off our plan to start the cataclysm to completely take over the resource-rich Planet Darvis".

A brief silence descended as all of them became serious.

Onana continued. "We have at most 3 months to do this".

"The remaining 3 months, we'll use it to prepare for the inevitable clash against the Space Bugs". His eyes gleamed. "This time, I don't want to lose".

"How do you know we have 6 months? What if they can engage warp travel to rapidly decrease the time to arrive at their destination?"

"They cannot". Champion Onana answered the General confidently.

"I didn't spend the past 5 years in vain. I spent my time thoroughly studying the Space Bugs".

"Despite their fascinating mutations, they never mutated FTL drives".

"If they do, then it has to be the Unique Space Bugs and above since I didn't get to study them as text subjects".

"It still doesn't matter though, that leaves only 4 of them with FTL drives".

"Despite his personal power, I don't believe he is arrogant enough to bring just 3 supports to a full-blown war against another race that he has few information about".

"Using normal travel, with their speed, they'll arrive at Planet Darvis between 6 to 8 months later".

The General and the Captains nodded, they could finally understand where he was coming from. At the same time, they felt the urgency of their situation.

'The Cataclysm needs to start now!'

'We need to wipe off the resistance in Planet Darvis now!'

A few hours later, all 4 Spaceships entered warp travel.

…

Bzzz!

A few days later, they returned to the Giant Nak Fortress.

Having communicated with the base ahead of time, it already turned into a busy hub as preparations for the Cataclysm went on at a crazy pace.

As soon as the Golden Cicada returned, General Aztog contacted Captain Lee who was in Planet Darvis.

"Captain, this are your new orders…"

A few minutes later, Captain Lee answered. "Yes Sir!"

The Nak fleet as a whole exploded into activity.
