章 166: Chapter 166
In one of Khar'shan's many military bases, a high-ranking officer was looking out his window towards his city, he had a frown and looked rather worried, something odd to see in a batarian, but in this situation, no one could blame him for being like this.
A few minutes ago, he had begun to receive report after report from many of the Hegemony settlements for slave rings outside this system, and none of them were good news, in fact in the past hour he heard nothing but death and destruction from these reports.
Many other alien homeworlds and governments were also trying to communicate with them, but he had no answer to their questions no one did, and no one in the Hegemony knows what going on.
But, that's not what has him so worried, no, is the fact that someone or something is attacking the batarians and the Hegemony, and it's a very open, and aggressive attack too.
No batarian was spared resulting in the death of thousands of his people, good soldiers too and it was beginning to affect everyone in Khar'shan, the worst thing about all of this, was the fact that no one knew anything about who was attacking them and why.
The attack itself was so unexpected and sudden, that it caught them with their proverbial pants down and no one knew what was going on, many military leaders were already in a panic and considering counterattacks.
But, no one knew who was responsible, who would dare go against the Hegemony, to begin with, was the the question in everyone's minds, that prevented the batarians from doing anything, which left the entire Hegemony nervous, stressed, and quite frankly afraid.
As the high-ranking officer of the batarians thought about all of this, one of his soldiers burst into his office "Sir! We have a situation!".
The high-ranking batarian officer sighed and turned around, he quickly sat behind his desk and then signaled his soldier to tell him what was going on, the nervous soldier wasted no time in explaining "Sir, our scans have detected something just above the planet".
The high-ranking batarian officer seemed perplexed but curious as well "And? What is it?".
The batarian soldier looked nervous and quite hesitant to say anything, but then continued on to explain "It seems to be a human sir...".
Now, that left the high-ranking batarian officer rather confused, he almost thought the soldier was joking or something, but the way he was acting, lead the high-ranking batarian officer to think that something else was going on here "A human? What kind of ship is he on board of?".
The batarian soldier frowned "That's the thing sir... the human isn't aboard a ship, it's flying on its own, inside of open space and just looking down at the planet".
Now, this was beginning to make no sense to the high-ranking batarian officer "Soldier... humans can't breathe in space, what sort of nonsense are you saying?".
The batarian soldier shook his head "No sir, we double, triple, and quadruple the checked readings! they all came out the same, there's a human-like body flying in open space just above the planet, we even have a visual".
The batarian soldier walked up to the high-ranking batarian officer's desk and slid a folder to him, the high-ranking officer wasted no time in opening the folder and checking its contents.
He saw a few pictures, blurry since they were made by enhancing onto the human as much as possible, but the high-ranking batarian officer could not mistake the figure shown in the picture.
It was indeed a human, he couldn't see its face well, but the black hair and green glowing eyes were very noticeable "What the hell?... Send a ship, I want that human arrested and brought up in front of me ASAP.
I don't know what it wants or what it's doing here, but he's going to regret getting this close to Khar'shan".
The soldier wasn't too sure, something about the human in the picture made him all nervous, but he knew better than to disobey an order from a high-ranking officer.
So the batarian soldier quickly left to follow his orders, meanwhile, now being left alone, the high-ranking batarian officer couldn't help but feel rather nervous, a bad feeling had begun to fill his heart and he didn't know why.
-----
Harry stayed high above the plastering at it with a frown on his face, the negativity flowing throughout the entire planet was disgusting, it made even him gag, he certainly didn't expect such a world filled with darkness to exist.
Even the world's heart was filled with darkness and rotten, there was not even a hint of light in this world, pretty much everything and everyone was corrupted and filled with so many negative emotions that he didn't how to react at first.
He had never seen an entire planet being consumed by darkness this much, anger, lust, sorrow, death and greed were the emotions that were drowning this entire planet and it had left Harry rather stunned.
It made him wonder how long the batarians had to be the way they are to corrupt, even their own planet to such a degree, it was like the planet itself was drenched in blood and now thirsts for it.
The planet itself desires death and destruction and it was a horrid thing to feel and see as a Sage, it enraged and saddened Harry to no end "How can living beings allow this to happen to a planet? How can a race could be so cruel, so evil... so heartless?".
As Harry pondered all of that, a few massive batarian battleships began to approach him, Harry ignored them though and instead continued to stare at the corrupted planet before him.
The massive ships suddenly sent a few smaller ones that immediately made their way toward Harry, as soon as they got close the ship quickly targeted Harry with all their ship weapons.
It was at this moment that Harry finally turned to face the ships, the batarians inside them flinched from the cold and glowing green eyes on Harry's face, but before anyone could do or say anything.
Harry waved his hand towards them, and a massive blast of lightning burst out from his hand and blasted apart the small ships, in fact, the lightning blast disintegrated the ships leaving nothing behind.
-----
Down in Khar'shan, the high-ranking batarian officer was watching what was happening via video feed from the dreadnought ships he sent to capture the human and gaped at what he just saw it do.
He quickly jumped out of his chair and began to yell orders via intercom "All ships to battle! Attack and kill that human! Do not let it get inside the atmosphere of our planet!".
The battleship responded with a loud and serious 'Yes sir' but the feeling of dread the high-ranking batarian officer felt filled his heart and increased the moment he saw that the human easily destroy five personal battleships with ease, that sight had him on edge now.
-----
The batarian dreadnought ships immediately opened fire on Harry, but the dragon wasn't affected by their weapons, something that shocked the batarians inside the dreadnoughts and the high-ranking batarian officer to their core.
Harry raised a hand while still getting shot at and summoned Oblivion into his hand, he suddenly tapped the dark keyblade with his other hand and it began to glow with a dark and purple glow, the glow burst out of the keyblade and revealed the dark keyblade to have changed formed.
This form is the Ultima Weapon version of the keyblade of darkness, a red and silver colored keyblade form and the most powerful for the dark keyblade.
Harry smiled at his dark keyblade's ultimate form and then spun it around in his hand a few times, before stopping and swinging it at one of the massive batarian dreadnoughts, a wave of darkness shot out from the Dark Ultima Weapon and traveled through space at a speed no one could react to.
What the batarian was able to see though, was a batarian dreadnought suddenly splitting in half and exploding a few moments later, the explosion shook space, and even below, on the planet of Khar'shan, the people felt it as well.
It was no surprise, with the mass effect engines on the ships, the destruction and explosion of one of them, would have the force of multiple nukes exploding all at once, so even the other dreadnoughts felt it and took damage.
But Harry didn't care, the state of the planet, the evil and dark emotions flowing out of it, and what the batarians had done throughout history had left Harry without any care or mercy for this race.
He just did not care about the Batarian and saw them as a plague that needed to be destroyed, so without hesitation, he disappeared in a flash of twilight and appeared right above a Dreadnought, he suddenly jabbed his Dark Ultimate Keyblade down to the massive ship and sent multiple beams of darkness towards it.
The beams went through the ship with ease and tore it apart, the dreadnought then exploded a few seconds later, but Harry was already on the move and heading towards the next dreadnought.
-----
The batarians inside the other ships panicked and were very much afraid, they had never seen something move that fast, their scanners couldn't even pick the human off until he would reappear again and their scanner can pick up ships flying at FTL speeds through space.
It was insane and unbelievable, one of the soldiers inside the dreadnoughts suddenly yelled "Captain! Weapons systems can't lock on! That human is moving to fast!".
There was another massive explosion and the batarians inside screamed as the whole ship shook, everyone immediately looked around and saw the human raise its weapon into the air, pitch black darkness began to gather from all around the human and let out a horrendous screech.
Every batarian winced and hissed in pain from the loud screeching, another batarian suddenly yelled "That makes no sense! Sound doesn't travel through space! How!? How is this human doing this!?".
It was a good question and every batarian on board of whatever was left of the dreadnoughts agreed with the batarian soldier who voiced it at loud, the captain frowned "This isn't a human... It's a monster!".
Suddenly the darkness around the human formed an orb of pitch-black darkness and the screeching stopped, only for the orb to suddenly burst open, sending multiple orbs of darkness flying everywhere.
The attack hit every dreadnought, the batarians on board screamed in horror, and a batarian soldier suddenly called out "Those orbs of darkness are going through our shields as if they were made of glass! The ship can take much mor-".
The batarian soldier couldn't finish what he was saying as an orb of darkness went through the ship and his upper body, the rest of the soldiers watched in horror as the body of the batarian soldier who was just speaking dropped to the ground with a wet splat.
But no one had the time nor the chance to say or do anything, a few moments later more orbs of darkness went through the ship and tore it apart with everyone inside.
The dreadnought soon exploded after, along with the rest, Harry's dark impulse at a high power level destroyed what were multiple massive dreadnought ships with ease, one massive attack killed thousands.
But to Harry, this was only the beginning, and he didn't stop to see the destruction he brought to the batarian fleet, today, Khar'shan, the Hegemony, and the batarians will meet Harry Potter, the True Demonlord.
-----
Down in Khar'shan, the high-ranking batarian officer was in a panic, he couldn't believe his multiple eyes, what he had just witnessed was a single human go through multiple dreadnought class ships in less than a minute.
The things he saw the human do right now were, right out of those ridiculous stories and myths he had heard human slaves sputter once in a while, stories about gods and demons.
Supernatural beings capable of destroying cities, he always thought that they were nothing but nonsense and hubris, but now? He was starting to believe.
He couldn't be allowed whatever that human was, to get onto the planet, he had to stop it at all costs somehow, the high-ranking batarian officer immediately began to bark orders via intercom "All forces to battle stations! Do not let that monster into the atmosphere! Stop it all cost!
I authorize the use of all weaponry and all battleships! Kill that thing and stop its rampage or it will be the end of us!".
-----
Harry began to fly down with Dark Ultima Weapon in his hand, he suddenly narrowed his eyes as he saw more and more massive dreadnoughts and other kinds of fleet ships, it made him realize that the batarian was now throwing everything at him.
Not that it would help them of course, they have nothing that can stop him let alone slow him down, and he won't, he already decided to destroy this entire horrid planet along the Hegemony.
Right now, he wasn't Harry Potter the dragon god, now, at this moment he was acting as a true demonlord, the one named by Rimuru as catastrophe dragon, and nothing was going to get in his way.
The dreadnoughts immediately fired at Harry, but again, nothing they threw at him seemed to affect him, none of their weapons did anything at all, they all just bounced off Harry's body without him, even feeling anything.
Harry suddenly raised his hand up to his face and clawed down summoning his hollow mask, once his hollow mask manifested he suddenly roared, a roar so loud and chilling that it made every batarian that was unfortunate to hear it freeze in unadulterated fear.
Harry suddenly opened his fang-filled jaws, from the darkness within his hollow mask, a massive amount of spiritual energy began to gather and coalesced into a green and black orb.
Harry suddenly roared again and unleashed the grand rey zero he had charged up, the hollow technique fired like a massive laser that went through multiple dreadnoughts and ships destroying them and making them explode.
But Harry wasn't done, he suddenly began to whip his head to the sides in a wild and violent sweep, more and more ships were destroyed by the hollow technique, causing even more massive explosions.
Soon the spiritual energy Harry gathered ran out and the grand rey zero dissipated, the leftover dreadnought ships and fleet, continued to try to stop Harry or even slow him down by firing all of their weapons at him, and space lit up with all sort of lights from all the shot fired at Harry.
But, Harry was still wholly unaffected by whatever the batarians were throwing at him, nothing was doing anything to him, he wasn't even slowed down, as he continued to fly towards Khar'shan, while the batarian fleet did everything in their power to stop him.
However, to their horror and, complete and utter astonishment, Harry suddenly began to spin as darkness began to flow out of his body, a drill of pure pitch-black energy formed around him and began to grow bigger and bigger.
Every batarian in the dreadnoughts and fleet gaped and the massive black drill of energy that began to get closer and closer as if it were some kind of creature made of darkness and madness, everyone panicked and tried to take evasive maneuvers.
But, it was too late, the massive pitch-black drill began to draw everything around it like a black hole as it got close, every ship in the batarian fleet was pulled in, and as they drew closer to the black drill, the ships rusted, decayed, and then exploded.
Multiple explosions shook the area and lit up the sky once again, Harry was not very close to the planet yet, but civilians and other people in the city below the battle, looked up towards the sky as massive explosions rocked the sky.
Everyone on the planet began to scream and panic, not only because of the massive explosions that shook everything, but because of the massive black drill of energy approaching the planet.
-----
The high-ranking batarian officer slammed his fist into his desk and growled "Someone stop that thing! Don't just stand there! If that thing hits the planet were all doomed!".
A batarian soldier suddenly yelled, "Sir! The fleet is all gone, no one is responding and scans can't pick them up! They have been all destroyed...".
The high-ranking batarian officer growled and could only stare as the massive pitch-black drill of energy approached the planet "Gather everything we have left, every man and every weapon! We have to stop this now!".
-----
Suddenly the massive black drill of energy exploded and began to quickly dissipate, Harry burst out of the leftover darkness and began to descend towards Khar'shan and the city right below him.
Soon enough he hit the planet's atmosphere and his body exploded in flames from the friction and speed he was drooping down with, however, such a thing didn't do anything to him, Harry didn't even feel the heat.
Eventually, he made it right on top of the city below him and looked around with both his sight and senses, now that he was within the city he could feel the people around him better.
Sure, the planet's energy was still disgusting to him and he was still getting rather pissed at the feeling he was sensing, but now he could sense innocents on this planet, slaves, children, and batarians who weren't evil.
Not entirely, this made Harry both frown and glad that he didn't decide to just blow up the planet apart, so, without any hesitation, he lifted his hand, suddenly the hand he lifted began to glow red and blue.
The dragon god then snapped his fingers while using his control over reality and space, every slave, batarian child, and innocent adult was immediately teleported away from the planet to the Citadel.
While he rewrote their lives and memories, the batarians he spared will never know or remember Khar'shan or the Hegemony, in fact, as far as they would know, they're just farmers and colonists that want to help settlements all over the galaxy.
Harry hated manipulating the lives of mortals like this, but he was unwilling to risk having the batarians he spared, suddenly starting everything all over again, so with this done to them, that will never happen.
He also teleported the slaves back to their homeworlds and restored their bodies, minds, and souls with his power over reality, mind, soul, and space, he really hated abusing his powers like this, but this situation demanded quick actions.
He would have loved to help everyone individually like he was with Talitha, but that would take a long time and a lot of resources, right now he was to busy with helping Shepard stop Saren, he can't afford to take the slow method with this.
So instead, he took a shortcut with the powers he obtained from the infinity stones and will be making sure the Citadel and the government help everyone later as well, he wasn't about to fix all their problems after all.
Suddenly, some missiles crashed against Harry, but he wasn't even shaken, Harry then waved his hand and dispersed the explosion and smoke away from him and looked towards where the missiles came from.
Right on top of a building were some batarians loading some Anti-air cannons to shoot him again, but that wasn't all, all over the rooftops of the buildings around him, were batarian getting ready to shoot him with everything they could find.
Rocket launchers, turrets, missiles, and even sniper rifles, but Harry wasn't concerned, in fact, with the slaves, children, and innocents out of the planet, he no longer had to hold back and so he let go.
-----
The entire planet known as Khar'shan shook and began to crumble as Harry let out a roar and powered up, the roar echoed throughout the entire planet, and those left behind to die screamed in panic and horror as the entire sky lit up from Harry's energy raising up and spreading out.
The building below him fell apart and turned into dust from his energy's pressure, the batarians on top of these buildings didn't even get the scream as their bodies suddenly exploded from the pressure Harry's energy put on them.
Even their blood and organs were turned into a red mist which evaporated a second later, the city below Harry became a crater and his powering up alone had the force to destroy an entire city with ease.
Usually, Harry would be careful and precise with his control, while caring for those around him, right now, there was none of that, at this moment Harry didn't care, and as the planet shook, and crumble in the presence of a being far beyond the understanding of this universe.
The entire batarian race began to realize that there was nothing they could do to stop whoever had suddenly shown up and attacked them, it was obvious that this human or whatever it was didn't come here on a whim.
No, he came here with a purpose, and given that he just destroyed an entire city with ease, many understood, that this creature, this monster was here to end them.
-----
The high-ranking batarian officer grunted and growled as his entire building shook so aggressively "Report! What the fuck happened!? Someone tell me now!".
But the soldiers working from the same building as the high-ranking batarian officer were too shocked and stunned at what they just saw happened, one soldier however, suddenly and very quietly began to speak "An entire city... has been destroyed... millions dead in a second...".
The high-ranking officer growled, "What!? What happened!?".
The batarian soldier slowly shook his head "I... I don't know...".
Suddenly the building stopped shaking and the soldier monitoring the area around Harry gasped when he revealed himself.
-----
Harry opened his eyes as his green and black energy violently flared around him, it had been a very long time since he powered up this much, there was just no need for him to ever exert this much power and even though it wasn't his all, it was still far more than he had used recently.
But, today he found it necessary, so without further ado, Harry suddenly raised both hands and put each palm facing each other right in front of his chest, he narrowed his eyes as both darkness and light energy began to flow into the space between his hands.
A white and black orb coalesced between his hand and began to absorb more and more power, As this was happening, Harry began to condense all the dark and light energy into the orb as much as possible.
Particles of light and darkness began to float up around the entire planet and began to vibrate and let out a loud humming sound, a sound that caused every batarian looking at the particles to feel a sense of dread they have never sensed before.
It was as if Death itself was glaring at them and singing for their end, which in hindsight, wasn't too far from the truth.
-----
Death had kept watch over her beloved as he went on a warpath, this time however, she was alone and had sent Lily away, she didn't like it when Lily watched her son do things like this.
Lily didn't care, nor did she begrudge Harry for making these kinds of decisions, but that didn't make this easier to watch this level of destruction and death Harry is capable of.
So every time, Harry had to make a hard choice, every time he had to become a monster and demon, Death had prevented Lily from seeing her son do so and this time, it wasn't any different.
The moment Death had seen what Harry saw in the memories of Talitha, she knew that he had come to hate the batarians and everything they stand for, their entire mindset and way of life was the kind of thing Harry hated the most.
Especially, because he himself had been a slave to his relatives for years, Harry knew what it felt like to be abused, starved, ignored, and being told that he was a waste of time and space, to be told to just die.
Harry knew better than anyone, the sort of horror and pain a slave goes through, and his heart has never forgotten, when he saw what was done to Talitha, that was the day the Hegemony, batarians, and everything they stand for ended.
They just didn't know it till now and nothing they try to do will save them, for even in death, they will never know peace "My love, stand strong and bring justice to these horrendous beings.
I and everyone else will always love you and stand behind you, do not hesitate and do not regret, show this universe the power of a dragon god".
-----
Harry could no longer keep the orb of light and darkness compact, so it began to grow and grow while he slowly lifted it above him with both hands, the orb began to grow to a massive size as it began pulsating and letting out an ominous humming sound.
This technique is one of Harry's original, darkness drawn from every negative emotion of his targets, contained by the light of his heart, a twilight elemental technique, one with no power threshold.
The humming comes from the light containing the darkness, and the pulsing from the very negative emotions within the darkness, evil and dark emotions that want nothing but death and destruction.
As the massive orb continue to grow, Harry looked down towards Khar'shan and growled as he suddenly swung both of his arms forward and sent the giant orb of darkness and light down toward the planet.
-----
Time seemed to slow to a crawl as every batarian left on the planet, watched a massive orb of darkness and light slowly head down towards the planet, it seemed like it was moving in slow motion, but in reality, it was moving down at an incredible speed.
And eventually, the batarians left on the planet known as Khar'shan witness a massive white and black orb, the size of an entire moon, crashing against their homeworld, the last thing they saw was a big bright light and then nothing.
-----
Harry watched his technique crash into the planet with a thunderous boom, his nameless technique completely destroyed the planet's crust and half of its mass, until it crashed against the planet's core and then there was a deafening bang.
What was left of Khar'shan exploded, detonating his own nameless technique and then there was another massive explosion that lit up the entire system.
In fact, the planet in the same solar system shook and cracked from the pressure of the explosion created by Harry's nameless technique, some even exploded on their spot or crumble apart.
Harry was just glad that he had checked the planets of this system before he arrived on Khar'shan and that they were empty and desolate worlds.
The explosion suddenly began to grow and grow until it suddenly burst out and began to dissipate, Harry just watched as the wisp of darkness and light left over from his technique began to disperse and slowly explode in the darkness of space.
It was quite a beautiful sight, sort of like a firework show of darkness and light, that was what was left of Khar'shan, a beautiful show of two opposing elements dancing in space.
The explosion had consumed all of Khar'shan, nothing was left, not even dust, and even the solar system was damaged, it made Harry wonder if the sun of this system would eventually die soon or will it flicker with life for a few more millennia.
Either way, he had done what he came here to do, now all that was left was to make sure the Citadel helped the rescued slaves and the few good batarian children and adults, hopefully, Shepard was still busy trying out the Battle Simulation and having fun.
With that in mind, Harry powered down and let his energy back into his body, one wave of his hand later, a dark corridor opened behind him, the dragon god turned around and went through the dark corridor, and the dark portal dissipated soon after.
-----
In the next hour, there was nothing but confusion and chaos on every homeworld, however, just as every person saved from slavery was wondering what were they going to do with their life, there was a sudden flash of yellow light and everyone heard a voice within their minds.
This voice gave them all a number of a bank account, where they can take a certain amount of credits a week, credits that they were to use for them to find a home and start a new life.
It was enough money that they never had to worry about anything in their life, but the voice encouraged everyone to find a dream, a goal and to reach for it.
It made many people cry in relief, some thought this was some sort of god helping them, saving them in their hour of need, some were just glad that they now had a path to follow, and others were just happy they get to live and not starve.
This voice was Harry's, he had used his power over the concept of mind and let everyone know of the bank account he had created for those he rescued from slavery.
He even connected his in-game money bank to this one, so he could deposit money from wherever he might be if needed, sure he will have to make sure to always grind for money, but that's no problem, that was something he always does anyways.
But with this, he can make sure that everyone he had rescued, could now have a life, he honestly didn't care if they all choose to just never do anything with their lives and live off the money of the bank account he created.
These poor people deserved to be allowed to do that after everything they had gone through, but he still decided to push them to find a dream or goal to pursue, giving them some more meaning to their life to live it.
So he was happy that many were already making plans to do so, some were going to vocational school and learning a profession, others wanted to create their own business, and some even wanted to help others just as they had been helped.
It brought a smile to Harry's face to see everyone getting together to plan their futures together, he might have not agreed with everything Nagato said and did in Naruto's world.
But if there was one thing he agreed with, it would be that pain would always bring people who experience the same pain together and make them understand each other.
He could see it with everyone he rescued, they might no longer have the memories of everything horrible that was ever done to them, and they might have been healed physically of every injury and pain they might have, but their heart told them that everyone was in the same boat.
That the people who were rescued, knew and understood what they were going through, and this made them all form a massive family of sorts, a giant family composed of every race in the galaxy.
It was something that Harry decided to keep an eye on from now on, something worth protecting, something he was willing to bless.
The batarian survivors were another matter altogether, he quite simply did not care about batarians as a whole, so instead, he let the Citadel Council deal with them as they see fit.
He wasn't cruel though, so he would be making sure they were treated well enough, after all, the batarian's survivors were the children and the adults that were innocent, not many sure but enough that perhaps a new batarian world could someday arise.
Of course, there will be no Hegemony or any old practices allowed, Harry had made sure to erase every bit of that information from every batarian, and if they were to try and look into it, then they will find that their minds wouldn't be able to see or even understand the information they were either hearing or seeing.
Harry had placed a lock on their mind with his power over the concept of mind, which will prevent them from ever learning anything from what the batarian used to be.
It was his own way of ensuring, that the batarian would have a fresh new start, he was just not going to keep an eye on them or care for them, that will be the Citadel Council's job from now on.
With that all said and done, Harry teleported back to where he was watching Shepard try to break records and waited for him to be done, a few hours had gone by, but it seems the commander was having way too much fun to notice he was gone, much to Harry's amusement.
