grey could feel the group of seven females enclosing on their location as they headed directly to the warehouse as if they knew exactly what was going on here.
while two of greys poison mist beasts laid in wait, he started reversing the flow of his sending all his raw flow outside his body giving him a glowing blue aura vibrating as if his small body was set ablaze.
using the energy outside his body grey could feel every nearby vibration with his entire body in way that his echolocation could never compare.
if before he could hear every movement and every word with his echo location, now he feels every movement in a nearby creature muscles and every pulse in their very energy flow.
''this ability is draining but it's so amazing to see the world like this! i wonder?''
grey rapidly expanded his flow reversal allowing his to sense a lot more he could now feel every worm beneath his feet every bird flying overhead he could even feel how every object vibrated slightly differently.
At this point he could feel the differences in all their energies and attributes which let him know who was who based on that alone.
but in less than five seconds of what felt like connecting with the world itself his mind was soon overwhelmed causing him to hunch in pain and vomit on the ground violently.
grey quickly lowed his power flows output until they headache completely calmed giving him roughly about eleven meters in all directions around him which was still a little too much to constantly be aware of, so he weakened it even more until it was only about eight meters making the burden on his mind greatly lighten.
'This seems doable, I should be able to use this for a while' he thought to himself as he walked to the edge of the roof he was on while preparing to jump off.
while grey was in a readying stance to jump at his full power the roof he was standing on as he charged up the energy around him and watching the seven carefully like a wolf lying in wait "wait for it, wait... NOW!!!''
Melek eros was leading the group as her purple cybernetic body talked to the rest ''according to these readings this build suddenly came online and started using massive power despite being abounded after the prison break '' she turned to the others with a look of tiredness.
the next moment grey disappeared, and a loud sonic boom was let out moments later as the roof he was using to stand on was completely destroyed
he flew at his full speed before landing a drop kick on the silver haired fox kin with a massive explosion he felt his sounds completely shatter her insides into mush 'this energy feels like this one is greed and those two must be wrath and sloth then.' grey thought as he turned to the angry cat kin lady who was about to attack him and the skeleton with a tired look on what he assumed was her face since the only feature on her body except bones was two green fires she had for eyes.
at the same time two green rabbits made of poison gas launched out from the sides caging the enemies, one attacked wrath but the angry orange haired cat lady immediately punched the green rabbit causing it to explode into a green mist that completely engulfing the poor cat lady.
the moment gas touched her she exploded into a berserk state that seemed to activate a flaming aura around her, while her friend the skeleton was unfazed by the surprise attack and summoned a few spirits around them to aid her.
''crap! I was kind of hoping to make this at least a four vs one quickly.'' grey said sarcastically when he suddenly felt massive energy emit from the lady in the back which seemed to directly boost everyone including the fox lady who he thought he killed immediately.
''I see as long as your here their basically unkillable so you must be queen furrum of Envy, is it too late to switch sides?'' grey asked cheekily which earned him many angry glares.
the queen slowly which let him finally see her whit his eyes she was shorter than the rest with white horns and bright pink hair with white edges, she glared at him angrily with her beautiful eyes that shone like pink jewels ''You attack my sisters? defend two traitors and sneak into my kingdom yet have the audacity to ask to join me?''
''I mean when you put it like that you can make anyone seem like the bad guy, but let's just say this is all many massive misunderstandings and talk it over some grilled meat and drinks?''
all of them just stared at him ready to pounce when the queen suddenly snaped her fingers causing grey to feel a massive negative energy engulf the area which immediately caused his flow reversal to completely disappear.
grey was now visibly sweating as he suddenly lost most of his confidence ''You know for someone so beautiful that was a very rude thing to do I just learned how to use that skill and now I can't even fully test it out. so about that chat we coul-'' grey was abruptly cut off as the angry orange cat lady immediately pounced which grey quickly dodged into the air only for melek to fire off a laser from a arm mounted cannon.
grey quickly grew a scorpion tail and stung the ground for leverage to move out of the way when an all-red figure appeared behind him and swung a sword. which grey covered his entire body in a ant like exoskeleton to block which sent him flying towards the skeleton who was now engulfed in green spirits as she charged a ghostly beam.
greys entire body turned blue as everything else retracted, and his body grew the size of a bear which surprised everyone else but the slothful skeleton still fired the cold beam she was charging up creating a massive explosion of frost leaving behind a cold mist.
everyone panicked gluttony the golden cyborg fired a shot near the queen's head which made everyone almost attack her for a second until they saw grey launch himself at the queen now in completely black fur with wing.
and to greys surprise the moment he appeared near the queens face ready kill her a beam of energy hit him in the ribs launching him back into the cold mist.
''My queen, according to the database that is a chimera which explains the scans faulty data since they can steal the fates of anomalies and the favored. it also explains why he can keep changing forms despite being locked from his runes. Be warned the can use the Physical aspects and even traits of those they have eaten and worse, yet they can combine the best ones together to make a dangerous apex predator.'' gluttony informed everyone in a monotone voice.
Melek eros joined with a low whisper ''also for those with organic parts be warned they can heal by eating their foes so don't let that monster eat any of your flesh. especially you my Queen if it gets so much a single hair or a single drop of blood from you none of us would be able to use our powers.''
everyone closed in close to one another waiting for another ambush while grey laying in a nearby corner covered by the cold mist while listening in on their conversation.
'So, I can heal using their flesh and even use the traits of those I've eaten but I don't think anyone I ate had any traits.' grey thought to himself while trying the sense the physical powers stored inside of except now that he couldn't use his own soul flow anymore, he could feel a very small amount of energy that wasn't from himself but was also different than what he usually uses.
'hehehe looks like I actually got three traits somehow, I can use it against them but now that I can't feel their energy I need to go over what I remember about all of them, the golden haired lizard girl is gluttony and the purple robot is lust or Quinns mom they provide cover fire for the rest so I have to carful.' grey thought to himself while testing his traits but all anyone else saw where strange large shadows appearing and reshaping repeatedly.
"What is it doing?'' the queen asked her battle sisters
the slothful skeleton answered it seems it is trying to find an optimal form to fight us be ready it might be able to counter us no-'' suddenly all around them sound disappeared they all realized that all sounds quickly disappeared around them leaving them in a scary silence.
grey looked at the very pink queen while hanging from a wall like an actual bat still in his black bat form now with eight golden eyes 'that one is the most powerful, but it seems she plays more of a support role keeping the others from dying and boosting them while canceling out the enemy's powers, gotta say that a nasty combo.'
grey turned to the others 'the slothful skeleton seems to be similar to cocoa in the fact her rune is related to death probably spirits from what i saw, while the prideful red one like to fight up close with a blade but she also seems to turn invisible and Quinn once said she is a shapeshifter so she's dangerous, I don't know much about the angry orange one expect she's strong and fights up close and I know nothing about the fox that's definitely greed but that's ok my preparations are ready.' grey had a wicked smile on his face.
the cold mist slowly started disappearing but once everyone saw what was left their hearts nearly jumped out of their throats.
all around them where wolf sized rabbits with mainly two different combinations the main ones where weird rabbits with eight golden eyes and a ant like exoskeleton made of either stone or metal.
the others were humanoid but looked more like goblins mixed with rabbits but it was easy to tell they were from a dark elves flesh since the hair and skin gave off that feeling if it wasn't for a few of them having blue skin and scorpion tails.
they all attacked as one while a few ant-like ones started spitting out acid from their moths creating total chaos as the seven tried defending themselves from over a hundred clones.
grey watched how they all fought with his eight eyes as black scales slowly grew from his body. 'thanks to them I found the traits I have stolen and these clones are actually from the rouge and queen who made most of her army out of mini clones to double her army size but they needed to eat to get bigger luckily for me the trolls heart I ate gave me and the clones the ability to grow instantly but their still weaker than I thought when I used this silent dome it was my thunder rune but it was actually this form and I just copied it unconsciously with my rune.
'They are expecting me to attack the queen for an instant power boost so had my clones focus on her, but my entire body is saying I should eat that golden lizard lady by any means necessary, and to that end I saved the best trait for last.' he thought with a wicked smile.
the any like clones were quick and really powerful every blow felt like a hammer, but what scared them was the fact that after a few hits they started mimicking their weapons and unfortunately because of pax golds armor a few clones were now able to turn invisible.
queen furrum was busy keeping the group from dying which was worrying because she wanted to help but if she got injured the enemy would instantly overwhelm the family she made from nothing.
from the corner of her eyes, she saw a swift shadow but because of how silent and chaotic the battle was she didn't pay it any mind immediately until a large portion of her energy went in that direction to heal someone.
when she turned what she saw made her heart skip a beat right there was her battle sister hime stars the glutton laying down with a hole in her back as a black winged rabbit stood atop her covered in a black slime and eating what looked like her lungs.
grey looked at the queen with a bloody smile as he kept eating the lungs in his paws until it was gone. at that moment he could feel a massive power welling up inside him like never before.
before he could enjoy this new power boost he saw with three of his six eyes that the queen was about to explode in anger, quickly remembering what Quinn warned he turned and hopped away faster than he had ever done before, that same moment he felt a massive headache as a massive flash of light engulfed the entire area blinding and even burning most of greys clones which sent all their pain to him upon death which he wasn't expecting causing him to crash into a window curled up in pain while reverting to his regular form.
when the clones could finally see again, they looked up onto see a purple halo above the queen's head as purple wings of light made her hover high into the air "begone foul creature!" she spoke with a face of pure disgust and anger.
the next moment it started raining lasers that repeatedly stuck at the small army
''crap she summoned morning star the angel of light.'' grey muttered angrily in pain as he tried to get out the building only for an invisible leg to kick him through the building into the open where everyone glared at him angrily as blood covered the area where his clones once were.
the queen was now healing her friend with all her might as pax gold the scarlet pride stepped out the building while disabling her cloaking.
"How could you do that to hime!'' pax screamed at the rabbit who stood up right with a limp arm.
grey could even see the spirts around the skeleton give him angry looks as an angel of pure purple light appeared near the queen and gave her a gentle hug as before he took over the healing for her.
''thank you, marc, please take care of her while I take care of the trash.'' she gave the angel a gentle kiss on the cheek before giving her friend one last concerned look before she turned to grey as her demeanor did a complete one eighty and weird black particles started coiling up around her as she asked grey a simple question "why... why go through all this and hurt our youngest sister like that.''
grey remembered cortex's words ''would it matter if I said we really need to escape as something massive and dangerous is coming?''
she soon disappeared and started pummeling grey into the ground for a few moments before a large red aura erupted from grey as he tried charging towards her only to be backhanded into a building
"Crap she is still way stronger than me even in berserk mode grey thought as repeatedly tried combining his berserk aura with everything he had only to be pummeled into the ground.
usually, his berserk aura would cancel out all abilities but the negative energy coating her body seemed to be unaffected as she just kept beating grey who was now using the now form, he gained from eating the lungs and wing from his attackers sister which made him heal rapidly but he still couldn't do anything after about twenty minutes of getting beat and holding on for dear life.
she stopped for a moment staring at the rabbit that glared at her defiantly despite most of his bones being broken and his face being rearranged, the red glow that protected home from most of her hits was now flickering in and out of reality.
"Any last words?'' she asked him.
grey just smiled at her you can't heal her you can only barley keep her alive, but I can heal her fully including any past injuries she might have had so how about an exchange I save her life and you spare mine?'' grey asked weakly obviously trying to act strong despite the immense pain.
the queen turned to marc who was healing her friend who just silently shook hir head which earned an angry grunt from the queen who was debating.
when a haunting voice rung out above them "I say you kill the anomaly take what it has and then join us in destroying this world.
when everyone looked up what they saw shocked them none more than so than grey as above them was an all-black creature emitting black mist constantly with glowing white eyes staring down at them as his body hovered above them.
"Crap it's the abyssal claw! the angel shouted out in surprise, but he couldn't move because if he left Hime would die.
but was the three flying behind the creature who despite being elves their entire bodies were a singular color either red, blue or green the shocking thing however was they all looked exactly like Brian veils
