[ORDER RECEIVED]
[COMMENCING 'DANCE OF DESTRUCTION: WRATH OF RA ']
As the order was confirmed from Kaios, all the ships started to move in a new formation.
This was one of the moves from 'Dance Of Destruction' series, this series was the true symphony of annihilation. It had many moves that were highly risky but could obliterate the fleets with limited resources. It was the showcase of the strategical brilliance of Kaios.
In the battlefield, the formations were halfway through the completion. It was only taking a longer time because of the previous Domain formation that had scattered the Battleships in different places. As the completion came closer, the structure of the formation could now clearly be seen.
The Nightwraiths were forming the central spine of the formations, their weapons and railguns were in sync, structured as glorified lances in the front. This structure was further stabilized by Hallowspires to maintain the required accuracy as well as the continuous fire rate.
The flanks on both sides were covered by the Behemoths as a wedge, with their siege ready to crush any opponents. Shadepiercers were cloaked and waiting to ambush any rogue ships, strayed away from the kill zone. This part of 'Wrath Of Ra' formations was called Sun Ray. This was being protected by the Dominars, who were awaiting with their repair beams and mechanic drones for any mishaps regarding the central spine.
Maelvar carriers were in the rear, spewing the support ships and drones for extra support. Circling the flanks, Spitefangs were intercepting the enemy ships, avoiding any disarray in the formations, while Vortex-class ships were maintaining the perimeter of kill zones using AMD and Warp-Disruptors.
This was the brilliance created by Kaios that could destroy all ships below Super Capital level defenses. It also had another function—it could move up to 17 degrees on both sides at maximum; due to this, the kill zone was higher. This was the difference between two custom-built Super Capital level offenses and a well-made strategy, the latter providing much more flexibility with little compromise.
In ten minutes, even with some compromises of the Battleships, the formation was ready to rain the devastating beam of death on the enemy side.
"Cortana, expected time before their Custom Jugranth volleys us…", Kaios asked.
[Sir, 2 minute 18 second]
"Okay then. Initiate connection with Nexus."
Let's do a trolling. Otherwise, where will be the fun in it. Kaios was amused.
On the other side, Nexus was standing baffled; just today, he had seen two new formation strategies that were never used before. The previous Domain had already made their fleet struggle too much. Now, he was scared to see what this grand formation of their enemy would unleash upon them.
In his tense moment, a sudden mechanical sound was heard by everyone in the command cockpit.
Nexus, being angered, said, "Who is disturbing in this important time, Alfred?"
[Enemy Grand Commander is initiating Connection, sir.]
Kaiser! What is he wanting at this moment of eve, Nexus wondered in confusion.
"Accept it."
Suddenly, a hologram flickered in front of Nexus with the face of Kaios's VR Persona.
"Hello, Nexus," Kaios greeted with a smirk.
"Why are you calling at this time, Kaiser?" Nexus asked with obvious anger in his voice.
"Why so tense, Nexus? I was just calling you to express my sadness towards you," Kaios giggled.
"What are you talking about?" Nexus questioned in a high voice.
Kaios, feigning sadness, said, "Relax, will you be. I am just sad that you did not tell me you had prepared presents for me."
"How would I be a man if I did not give any return gift in opposition to it?"
Then Kaios paused for a brief moment to take a clear look at the face of Nexus and then spoke again.
"So that's why I prepared a sudden gift for you. Enjoy, Nexus, and tell me in the future what you felt about it."
With this last sentence, the hologram as well as the face of Kaios closed, shifting the view of Nexus to the battlefield in front from the bluish holographic screen.
In the command center of SERTHRAX DAWN, Kaios could be seen standing quietly.
This will be a hassle in the future. Heh..Heh.. Well, who cares. Kaios laughed internally.
"Cortana, deliver the GIFT," Kaios commanded.
As always, true to her duty, Cortana complied with the order from Kaios and gave the signal to unleash.
[Code: Judgement call- Ra's wrath. No quarter]
As soon as the code ended, a massive beam of light was unleashed upon the enemy in the Kill Zone. This looked like the punishment befell upon the mortals by the will of the divine—for their transgressions.
On the mothership of CLAYMONT REQUIM, the view of Nexus illuminated for a brief amount of time. Then—
There was no then.
All the ships in the radius of the Kill Zone were annihilated. There was not a speck of any equipment remaining in the zone, be it a Sub Capital or Capital level ship.
The only things from the enemy side that remained were fledge-class ships, which were also being cleaned by their overwhelming numbers.
The battlefield became eerily quiet.
This battle was not only over, but it could not be called a battle anymore.
This was a massacre—A Massacre made by divine lights.
This was a battle that would be recorded and become famous in the name of Stellar Massacre.
.....
Some minutes had passed after the massive collective beam.
The Battlefield, which had been filled with large hulls and many troopships from the CLAYMONT REQUIM, was now barren.
The only ships that filled the space were from the side of SERTHRAX DAWN.
Kaios was standing inside the mothership, feeling pride looking at the art he had created.
All the members of the fleet from his side were now looking at the battlefield with awe and fear. Their hearts were now filled with newfound respect for their Grand Commander more than before; they were glad this Strategic Genius was on their side.
Kaios now looked one last time towards the barren space—only filled with the echoes of annihilation from the Solar Flare.
The mirrored star was still glowing, without being disturbed in its cycle of fission.
With this, one of the anticipated battles in the Vaeltris planet server of EVA Online came to a closure.
Kaios left the game and found himself in his VR room.
Kaios sat there for a while and reminisced about the battle before. After that, he logged out from the VR Headset.
He woke from his bed and looked at the clock.
The time was already past 11 A.M. He had been playing the game for more than two hours.
He went to the bathroom to freshen up. After being fresh, he sat on his bed and opened the social media on his.
The social media Playtube was a platform where one could share videos, be it long or short format, and some personal experiences.
The moment he opened it, his feed was filled with the videos from EVA Online.
He looked at these videos, "Stellar Massacre," "Wrath of Star," and other catchy titles like that.
He clicked on one of those videos, and what he saw startled him for a second.
All devices now came with a minimum capability of 8k rendering. With the specifications of his Holo-Card, the videos were much clearer.
He saw his own battle from before with CLAYMONT REQUIM in full glory from the point of view of the third person.
He saw the strategy used by Nexus first, then his Domain for the counter, as well as his finishing move 'Wrath Of Ra.'
He saw this with the same quality as the VR but from the enemy side. That was what startled him—the sudden illumination from the last attack.
Then he opened the comment section, which was infested by the fanatics of both sides arguing and glazing over all things.
"Man, the REQUIM didn't stand a chance from the beginning."
"I am a REQUIM fan but this... The formation... The coordination and that last attack—those were simply the pinnacle of leading and strategy."
"The kill zone was a death sentence. Nexus played well but had no answer for Kaiser's Sun Ray."
"This is why the Grand Commander of SERTHRAX DAWN is in a league of his own. The transition from Domain to Wrath of Ra—absolutely flawless."
As he was feeling slight pride from his actions, he saw a reply to the last comment.
"Yeah, the only lame about their Grand Commander is his name. All other things are, as always, flawless."
The face of Kaios twitched; he knew his name was lame, but he still chose it as his VR persona. But seeing it being made fun of online, he was a little annoyed.
After seeing the video, he closed the feed and wandered around checking other contents.
As the time closed, a maid came and requested to bring his lunch to his room.
As the maid brought the lunch to his room, he asked her about his Mom and Dad.
"Master Dante and Miss Lyra already left the palace 1 hour ago, young master," the maid in question replied.
Kaios nodded and started his lunch. After some time, he was finished, and the same maid took out the leftover and left.
Like this, the noon time for Kaios came to an end as he took a well-needed rest at that time.
