Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

Although it was just a hunch, Abbadon knew that Lady Kayla was way more mysterious than she appears to be. And what she was showing right now was by no means her true power!

Barely a few moments passed before those soft fluorescence particles enlarged and increased in numbers until they were akin to a seamless curtain of silver stars above the crowds. 

It was as though a supreme being had folded this mortal sky and allowed everyone to peer through a portal to a distant world. Many people could not resist anymore and dropped to their knees.

Suddenly, a soft and gentle voice escaped Kayla's mouth as she floated in the air, with an arrogant demeanor yet expressionless face, above everyone else's heads: "System, unleash Admin skills; Cyber Sense: Absorption and Integration!"

As those words were heard, the curtain of silver stars strangely disappeared, dimming the world all of a sudden. 

The average soldier panicked slightly before realizing that those silver stars, that in fact were just Cyber Particles, had suddenly emerged into the web- no… it was the web that got absorbed and integrated into those fluorescent particles!

The dark quickly dissipated and the light of the silver stars came back many times brighter than before, forcing everyone to close their eyes.

"System, heed Admin's command; initiate the creation of the Cyber Cores!" Kayla's gentle voice was heard again.

Although none really knew what those words, or rather commands, meant, it was enough to make them shudder. They all watched in awe at a spectacle being created, rather literally.

Shining brightly, those star-like Cyber Particles suddenly started gathering towards random spots in the sky, becoming larger and larger. 

Not too long after, there were hundreds of large silver suns in the sky. Obviously, they weren't the size of a real sun, but they were the size of the sun as viewed from the surface of Earth.

With that being said, their numbers were enough to cover the sky in blinding silver!

However, the blinding light didn't last long. Those silver suns slowly and gradually collapsed into silver moons. 

Similarly, those silver moons collapsed and became smaller and smaller until they reached the size of a small marble-sized orb.

Contrary to what the soldiers expected to see, the small orbs weren't as blinding as they expected. In other words, they were not as bright. 

But what was weird was that the light intensity coming out of them was many, almost countless, times larger.

The soldiers looked up with squinting eyes and saw the hundreds of orbs change colour and shape all of a sudden as if they had turned from solid to liquid.

Firstly, the liquid-like orb strangely turned from silver into blinding black as the aura of death and hatred prevailed.

The Terran Army soldiers were terrified at the dark aura and everyone suddenly felt that it's safer to increase their defensive power.

Secondly, the orb switched colours from black into sensual blue that gave off the aura of immense erotic pleasure. But strangely, or rather frighteningly, the crowds seemed to feel a gaze that was always penetrating their flesh and subduing their souls...

The soldiers paled…

Thirdly, the sensual blue quickly turned into orange that was accompanied by an aura of not only hunger but also, strangely, safety…

Fourthly, the orange faded and turned into a beautiful green that gave off the aura of envy and was accompanied by a chill that indicated extreme danger.

Fifthly, the colour swiftly changed from green into a calm cyan. This last colour was giving off a feeling of relaxation. 

But that wasn't anything good, but rather extremely dangerous, because to the crowd, it seemed as though if they relaxed their vigilance in the presence of such aura, they might lose themselves!

Lastly, the cyan faded away and the original silver was back, shining with calm brilliance. 

The soldiers, and even the EDA Generals were left gasping for air after this brief change, especially the Star Nine Generals who had a faint idea of what was going on.

Uncaring about the crowd, Kayla raised her hands and closed her eyes in concentration.

"System, heed Admin's command; Activate Pilot's skill: Siphon Life!" Her faint whisper spread like a cool breeze around the Cyber Cores that were now suspended midair.

Normally, Kayla would not be able to actively use Raven's skills. However, the skill she activated now is associated and relatively close to her own abilities Cyber Sense; Absorption and Integration. 

Instantly after she muttered her command, massive amounts of mana escaped her body and almost caused it to disperse. But she quickly stabilized herself.

Shortly after, the dangerous silver radiance around the Cyber Cores became even more dangerous as they launched themselves into the approaching Angel Army.

"Do you think this will work?" Levi, Raven's Ghostly Assassin and one of her Executives, whispered to Maeve while approaching her.

"Uhm," the latter nodded in a calm manner despite the sweat dripping off of her. "Lady Kayla never does anything without detailed analysis and full calculations. Her plan must work!"

"Kfufufufu," Abbadon, who appeared ghostly at some point, only chuckled darkly. He was licking his lips as if already tasting blood.

The last two Executives arrived. Aamon smiled warmly while Bel's expression remained unchanged.

The soldiers looked up, filled with expectation. After all they've been through in the past few minutes, they were expecting a grand change in the battlefield!

But to their surprise, nothing was happening; shortly after the Cyber Cores penetrated the Angel Army, there was simply no change...

The soldiers swallowed their saliva nervously, begging for a change to occur. 

Right now, even though they had formed their own defensive lines, they weren't expecting to do much again so many angels!

"What are we waiting for exactly?" A soldier spoke while trembling. "Do we fight? Or-"

"Shut up!" Another soldier yelled quickly. "Don't affect our morale! If the Commanding General said that we wait, then we wait!"

"Yes, the Commanding General is trustworthy! She won't let us get hurt easily!"

"Yes!"

Although many soldiers were trying hard to boost their own morale, it wasn't as easy… especially while watching the massive wave of white getting closer and closer.

Just as they were about to lose hope, a change occurred; massive silver spheres appeared, or rather exploded, at the core of the Angel Army, exuding an extreme suction force.

Under everyone's gaze, they could see that those silver spheres would shrink relatively quickly after their explosion, reverting back to their small orb form and leaving behind… nothing…

The soldiers were left awe inspired… nothing was left of the angels within range of the explosion; no flesh, no blood, heck, not even some feathers!

Seeing this, they all cheered. Some were even crying from happiness that came after some intense stress conditions.

Countless explosions of silver fluorescence spread rapidly throughout the Angel Army, thinning their numbers severely.

The scene continued for a few minutes, reducing the angels by about one thirds of their original numbers. This means that right now, only about six to seven million angels remain!

However, to everyone's surprise, this wasn't the end of it. After all, their Generals have mentioned that this was not a simple move!

"System, receive Admin's orders; Activate the Cyber Cores and form the Cyber Force!" The familiar gentle whisper spread and reached everyone's ears.

Looking up expectantly after hearing Kayla's command, the soldiers could see the small silver orbs moving in a liquid-like fashion, forming human silhouettes!

Surprisingly, the hundreds of silver orbs suddenly turned to human figures. And they all look similar to their Commanding General, except for their unique armour that almost looked alien!

"Are those clones?" Someone asked loudly.

"Yes, you idiot," another grinned. "Do you think the Commanding General has that many twins?"

"Although we can't see their faces, those people are obviously clones!"

"Were those made out of the silver orbs we saw before?"

"What happened to the angels that died?"

"Yeah, I was wondering about that too!"

…

Conversations were endless within the soldiers. Only a handful knew exactly what was going on.

"Scott, those are not exactly clones, are they?" One General transmitted his question through the bracelet.

"Uhm," Scott nodded. "Well, they are, but each has their own consciousness, err, I think it's better to say that each has their own thinking…"

"You're confusing me…"

"Ugh, think of it as having hundreds of that little girl, that's exactly how it is."

"Uh…"

"For **** sake, do not ask me, it's not important for you to know!" Scott stopped replying to the General's messages.

To be fair, he was not sure of what was going to happen himself.

All he knew was that Kayla was working on a way to bring more help and more firepower for the Terran Army.

Although she had the ability to create clones as he himself has witnessed it before, Kayla had explained that she could only use a maximum of twenty to thirty clones with her current strength.
