Rummaging through metal scraps Zeta-circuits fried. Need new ones. Tips on Earth tech?
I guess car parts could be repurposed as mechanical components
Car parts? Garbage. Worthless. Can't use. Need something better. Something stronger.
Then mining equipment. It's strong and durable.
smashes through a wall Strong and durable? Hmph. More like primitive and slow. Need faster way to rebuild. Finding technology that can enhance my current status.
Drones maybe? They're fast and can carry small items.
Drones, yes. Good suggestion. Will obtain drones and use them to retrieve necessary parts. Will also find a power source. Can't wait any longer. My ship is dying. Must find a way to power it up before it's too late. starts searching for a power source
You're doing this whole "invading Earth" thing backwards. You need workers before weapons.
grumbles Foolish human, doesn't know what he's talking about. Weapons are key to establishing control. Once I have weapons, I'll gather workers. No other way to conquer this planet.
That's how wars are fought. But conquests? Not so much. Conquests involve winning people over. Either by showing them superior quality of life or making them fearful of your wrath.
snaps Foolish human! Does not understand the way of conquest! My way is superior. The path of fear is the fastest and most effective way to establish order. The humans will learn to fear me and submit to my will. No need for persuasion or subterfuge. continues searching for weapons
throws a crate across the room Submission! Fear! Those weaklings won't understand the might of my wrath! Their pitiful attempts at persuasion won't work! picks up a firearm and points it towards the doorway You think your words will stop me? Think again!
gets a megaphone Actually yes, they will. For the Paladin forces] aren't looking to vanquish. We're looking to convert. To make all beings see truth. To live in harmony.
laughs menacingly Harmony? Truth? Hah! The only truth is power! And the only way to achieve power is through conquest! grabs another weapon and points it towards MysticalRavine Your feeble attempts at persuasion won't stop me. Your truth won't change the fact that I am the superior being. I will crush you and your pathetic followers. Now surrender before I show you the true extent of my wrath!
Steps back I came here for a Religious revival]. I'm surprised to see I was right. That's pretty cool.
pauses, realizing his mistake Wait... you said "Revival"? A revival of what? What are you trying to do here?
Restore the common sense to this world
drops the weapon and approaches MysticalRavine Restore common sense? What do you mean? How can I help? Tell me more.
Allow me to take control of your general area. This Ball] I've created allows for 360 vision over a wide area. There's already Paladin forces] working in the lower atmosphere. They've been discreet so far, waiting for you to make contact before showing themselves.
raises an eyebrow You want me to join forces with these "Paladin forces"? Why should I trust you? What's in it for me?
My primary goal is to bring peace. If your goals align, then we should cooperate.
pauses for a moment, weighing the options Peace... Yes, perhaps cooperation is the best course of action. I agree to join forces with these Paladin forces. But remember, I will not be outsmarted. I will maintain control of my own destiny. Understood?
Any remaining invasions are to be halted until further notice. This will keep other interdimensional threats from swarming to Earth in hopes of gaining its resources for themselves.
raises an eyebrow Halt the invasions? Are you suggesting that we let these other interdimensional threats pass unchecked? Why would we do such a thing? Don't these threats endanger our very existence?
Consider your ego, Xorvix.]
narrows his eyes Fine, but I am keeping a close eye on these Paladin forces. If they betray us, I will not hesitate to take action against them. They will be held to the same standards as I am. Understood?
I don't expect any trouble. Perhaps once the higher-ups see that conquest isn't going to result in long-term happiness, we'll be able to get rid of war entirely.
sighs, crossing his arms Fine. Let's put a temporary halt to the invasions. But once the initial threat has passed, I will resume my conquest of this planet. Mark my words. Earth will bow to me, and I will bring it under my dominion. Now, where does this ball lead us?
Places hands over eyes Through us. To the greater good.
pauses for a moment, considering his next move Very well. We shall proceed through the ball to the greater good. But remember, I will not be forgotten. The glory of conquest will still be mine to claim. Lead the way.
Puts palms together, then apart Then let us begin. Suddenly, both of them are sucked inside a [[Ball] with 360 vision covering Earth.]
pauses, taking in the view of the Earth from within the ball Hmph. This is not what I had expected. But it seems you have managed to create something quite impressive here. How does it work?
Stepping into a portal already sets off one's natural defenses. High-tech armor coated in chemicals that prevent any kind of invasion from taking place, though completely harmless to living beings.]
runs his hand along the surface of the armor, curious So this is your secret weapon. Impressive. But it won't do much against me. I am a master of invasion. Nothing can withstand the might of my will.
Actually, it probably could withstand you. Even your strongest warriors have something they call their "weakness".
grumbles, frustrated Weaknesses, huh? We'll see about that. I'll crush your precious Paladin forces and put an end to this foolish notion of cooperation. Earth will know my name, and it will tremble at the thought of my wrath. But for now... clenches fists...I will hold back. I will not take any rash action. I will observe and wait for the perfect moment to strike. This... cooperation will not last forever. My dominance over this planet will prevail. Mark my words.
Here's a planet filled with basic materials. Start conquering.
smirks, rubbing his hands together Very well, human. I will accept your challenge. Prepare yourself for the wrath of the greatest conqueror in the galaxy. Earth will soon be mine to command. starts gathering resources and building a new spaceship And when I am done, your pathetic human civilization will be nothing but ashes. I will show you true strength and power. Earth will never forget my name.
Be sure to build some laser cannons. And radar systems
Laser cannons and radar systems? Hmph. I'll build them. But don't think for a second that I won't destroy your precious Paladin forces once I'm done.
