Chapter 133 - The Red Skinned

- Oliver -

"What is a globûrz human doing on this ship?"

Oliver barely had time to register the guttural shout before a massive Ork fist collided with his chest. The impact was like getting hit by a speeding freight train. He was launched backward, crashing through the cockpit and shattering the ship's front viewport. Glass fragments and twisted metal shards spiraled around him as he hurtled outward.

Gravity seized him, and he plummeted to the ground outsid...

Chapter 132 - Dark Star

- Alan -

"All units, begin evasive maneuvers!" The urgent command blared over the open channel, snapping Alan's attention back to the present.

Instinct took over. Alan's fingers flew across the controls as he engaged the lateral thrusters, yanking the Graviton Prime into a sharp roll just as a group of missiles passed them. The proximity alarm screamed, but they'd narrowly avoided destruction by mere meters. His heart pounded in his chest.

Not everyone was a...

Chapter 131 - Deploy the Mechas

- Alan -

Alan had barely been at the base for four weeks. Situated on the dark side of the Moon, Hefesto provided the perfect hideaway for sprawling industries dedicated to Mecha production. Initially, these gargantuan machines drew power from Helium-3, but they rapidly shifted to a wide range of Z-Crystals as engineers pushed the boundaries of technology.

Alan never saw himself as just another Mecha engineer; his wish was to become a pilot. His mechanical legs mi...

Chapter 130 - Escape Plan

- Oliver -

Before anyone could cut him off or demand identification, Oliver pressed on with urgency, his voice steady but edged with desperation. "This is Oliver, Blue Ranger Identification ZX7429," he declared firmly into the communicator. "We have discovered a Titan production facility. Repeat: We've found a factory where the Orks are manufacturing Titans. Initiate maximum alert!"

There was a brief pause filled with static before a voice responded, clipped and a...

Chapter 129 - The Empress

- The Empress -

The Empress drew a long, measured breath, her patience wearing thin after yet another interminable meeting with her generals. ‘What do they desire this time?’ she mused, a hint of irritation flickering across her otherwise stoic visage. The ceaseless infighting among her troops was becoming tiresome, even to someone of her considerable years.

Before her stretched the vast war chamber—a colossal hall made from ancient stone and reinforced with...

Chapter 128 - The Enemy Base

- Oliver -

Oliver stood frozen, unsure of where to look or what to do. His chest felt tight as he surveyed the aftermath: fallen Rangers, a newly shattered group, and—above all else—Emma’s haunted look. Her expression, teetering between grief and shock, made him feel helpless and unsettled.

Emma remained seated on the damp ground, her gaze locked onto Elliot’s lifeless features as though peering into some hidden reality only she could see. Almost all of he...

Chapter 127 - Changing the Leadership

- Ludwig Lot -

Enceladus had always been a notoriously difficult colony to govern. Over the decades, it had changed hands dozens of times, its valuable resources and strategic position making it a coveted prize among the great powers of the empire. It wasn't until the House of Lot took responsibility for the colony's development that Enceladus began to stabilize. This decision became the pivotal moment for the rise of the Great House of Lot—propelling them into astron...

Chapter 126 - Moles

- Oliver -

Just a few steps away, the mission leader—Alex—stood with his head severed from his body.

A high-pitched ringing filled Oliver's ears, drowning out the chaos around him. Time seemed to freeze as his mind struggled to process the surreal horror unfolding before his eyes. The image of Alex reduced to a lifeless form, his head brutally removed, was almost beyond comprehension.

Blood, viscera, and fragments of bone splattered across the clearing, ...

Chapter 125 - Blights

- Oliver -

Some of the Rangers were still trying to comprehend what was happening when the noise intensified within the forest. A deafening creaking sound echoed around them as if trees and roots were being torn from the earth.

Oliver didn't wait to find out what it was. Gripping his rifle tightly, he began firing bursts into the direction where he felt the energy shifting. He heard the impact of the projectiles, followed by a guttural roar.

Finally, the oth...

Chapter 124 - Operation Start

- Oliver -

Oliver lingered atop the base's upper levels for a few more minutes, where panoramic observation decks allowed him to see over the colossal wall. The immense forests of Olympus stretched out endlessly before him—a boundless sea of emerald treetops interwoven so tightly that the canopy appeared as a solid, undulating surface. The sight was both awe-inspiring and humbling.

‘Nico is somewhere out there,’ he reflected, a pang of concern tightening his...

Chapter 123 - Operation Needle

- Oliver -

Alex stepped forward to the front of the room, his posture erect and his expression all business. "Let's begin the briefing," he declared.

He didn't wait for everyone to settle into their seats before launching into his explanation. "A few weeks ago, we identified a small outpost to the south," he began. "With the help of satellite reconnaissance, we've confirmed that there's no longer any Ork activity in the area—the site has been completely abandone...

Chapter 122 - Arriving at the Half Wall

- Oliver -

The following two weeks of training blurred together in a haze of relentless drills and newfound mastery. Each day, Oliver honed his control over the Z Crystal, feeling its power resonate more deeply within him. Meanwhile, Isabela and Katherine were commencing their training at their bases. Though both exhibited high compatibility with their crystals, their learning and domination weren't as effortless as Oliver's initial activation; their progress was steady...

Chapter 121 - Pantheon's Key

- Oliver -

"Any questions?" Wiz asked them.

Elliot and Emma fell silent, each lost in thought for a moment. Oliver observed them closely, trying to gauge their reactions. He didn't know exactly what to expect from the mission ahead, but he felt calmer knowing he would be alongside more experienced Rangers.

"Ugh! It's always such a pain having to do operations with the Red Rangers," Emma complained, folding her arms across her chest.

Wiz's expression ti...

Chapter 120 - The First Mission

- Oliver -

Oliver was ascending in one of the elevators of the research building alongside Wiz. But deep in his mind, he was still reeling from what he had witnessed in the lab—the lengths to which the Blue Rangers were willing to go to secure victory for humanity. Having narrowly escaped death multiple times at the hands of the Orks, he felt nothing but seething hatred toward them.

Yet, after his own harrowing experience of being tortured, he found himself able...

Chapter 119 - To The North

- Elowen Hopwright -

Elowen gazed intently out her office's expansive window, the sprawling metropolis's panorama stretching before her. The city's shimmering lights reflected off sleek skyscrapers, creating a tapestry of luminescence that could have captivated her under different circumstances. But after enduring a marathon of meetings throughout the day, her eyes felt heavy, and weariness settled deep within her bones. Yet, as a senator of the Interstellar Federation,...

Chapter 118 - Exploring Pallas

- Oliver -

Blood dripped steadily from the ragged stump of Oliver's arm as they hurried toward the hospital nestled among the towering spires near his home. Each scarlet droplet left a stark trail on the polished obsidian pavement, a visceral reminder of the uncontrolled power he had unleashed.

The General moved with purpose beside him, his usually composed demeanor tinged with urgency. He had acted swiftly—alerting Pallas's elite medical team and dispatching en...

Chapter 117 - The Blue Crystal

- Oliver -

Oliver followed Wiz down to the lower level. As they took the first step down into the basement, the lights flickered on automatically, illuminating an enormous training facility.

The gym was equipped with an array of weights and devices that Oliver recognized from his days at the Academy: holographic sparring partners, gravity modulators, and neurally linked obstacle courses. But what caught his eye was the small arena at the center—a circular platfo...

Chapter 116 - Pallas

- Oliver -

"We are approaching the station. Prepare for disembarkation," one of the officers on the ship announced.

In the distance, Oliver could see the enormous structure drifting against the backdrop of stars. Pallas was not just any space station; it was the pinnacle of human technology, orbiting silently at coordinates known only to the Blue Rangers.

The station was a massive rotating ring designed to simulate artificial gravity, with miles of suspended...

Chapter 115 - Waking Up

- Alan Aquila -

At first, Alan could neither see nor hear anything. In those initial days—if they could even be called days—it was as though he were submerged in a deep, dark ocean where nothing existed. Not even time seemed to pass; perhaps he wasn't even aware of its passage. It was a void, a blank expanse where his consciousness floated aimlessly, untethered to reality.

But gradually, over an indeterminate span that could have been days or weeks, distant ec...

Chapter 114 - Negotiation Room

- Oliver -

Unlike the other selected candidates, who were merely directed toward a corridor at the back of the arena, Oliver was always accompanied by two soldiers. They flanked him closely, leaving no room for him to move out of their sight, even for a moment.

As they walked down the seemingly endless corridor, Oliver noticed dozens—if not hundreds—of rooms lining the walls. Through the small windows set into each door, he glimpsed other candidates seated alo...

Chapter 113 - Wait... what?

- Oliver -

*Approved*

Oliver sat in stunned silence for a few seconds, processing Isabela's outcome. A surge of excitement coursed through him. "Wow!" he thought, a broad grin spreading across his face as he settled back into his seat.

His gauntlet vibrated softly, alerting him to new messages in their group chat. He raised his wrist, the translucent interface illuminating with notifications.

Chapter 112 - Rejected & Approved

- Oliver -

As soon as the announcement of the third test’s start echoed through the corridors, the entire base seemed to shift. Almost instantly, the hallways filled with a sense of purpose—footsteps quickening, voices lowered to hurried whispers, tension sparking in the air. A few visibly dejected recruits were heading out, their heads bowed and shoulders heavy, lamenting their failure to earn a place in the next stage. But for everyone else—those who remained—...

Chapter 111 - The Third Stage Begins

- Oliver -

In the aftermath of Oliver's record-shattering performance, the atmosphere within the base was electric—charged with a volatile mix of awe, disbelief, and simmering resentment. It was as if a shockwave had rippled through the corridors, leaving chaos in its wake. Screens throughout the facility flashed his unprecedented time.

Whispers echoed in huddled clusters; some recruits stared at the display with narrowed eyes, while others gesticulated wildly, ...

Chapter 110 - Concluding the Second Exam

- Sebastian -

It wasn’t common to have two generals’ meetings occur so close to one another, just two weeks from the last. Nevertheless, with the evaluation event underway and the latest news from the frontline, all five were once again summoned to the NEA Rangers’ headquarters.

Among the five, worry was evident—especially on the faces of two of them. Sebastian, the General of the Yellow Rangers, looked harried, burdened by supply line issues on Olympus. J...

Chapter 109 - Breaking the Leaderboard

- Oliver -

Even though the day had ended for Oliver, many other recruits were still lining up for their attempts. Because of this, he continued to watch the upcoming trials through the holographic interface on his gauntlet, all while his injured arm was submerged in a mini-vat for healing.

However, it wasn't what was happening on the field that was drawing attention, but rather what was happening off it.

Some other recruit had captured footage of Oliver exit...

Chapter 108 - Leaderboard Update

- Oliver -

"What do I do? Think!" Oliver's mind raced, the situation's urgency pressing in on him. "Improvise!"

[Prometheus]

Without hesitation, Oliver positioned himself directly beneath the room that held the Orb. Summoning every ounce of his strength, he activated his ability, channeling the entire flow of Energy into his right arm.

‘Damn. This is going to hurt,’ he thought, gritting his teeth.

He drove his fist upward with all his might. ...

Chapter 107 - First Week

- Oliver -

The early days of the second examination were slow and grueling. None of the 60,000 recruits had managed to complete the mission.

With each new attempt came fresh experiences and lessons learned, but also a mounting sense of anxiety. This was the ticket to becoming NEA officers and, for a select few, the chance to become Rangers. Everything was at stake.

It wasn't until the third day that breaching the Grand House ceased to be an insurmountable hu...

Chapter 106 - Half Wall

- Nico -

It had been decades since Nico last served as a team captain. Yet, the lapse in time hadn't dulled his abilities. Unsurprisingly, Nico was entrusted with leading one of their Yellow Ranger units even within the first few weeks with the Dardanus.

Nico's group was stationed at the Half Wall and tasked with defending this critical position. The structure, resembling an iron titan, seemed to cleave the planet Olympus in two—it was the most important strateg...

Chapter 105 - A Meta

- Oliver -

His first attempt was over.

He hadn't realized just how exhausted he was until the armored soldiers escorted him back to the entrance of the colossal arena. The adrenaline that had coursed through his veins masked the fatigue settling deep into his muscles. His body had been taut, every nerve on edge, as he expended a considerable amount of his Energy conducting the last series of experiments. Standing in the same position for what felt like hours, he w...

Chapter 104 - Action & Reaction

- Oliver -

Focused on watching the matches, Oliver didn't notice that he was quickly advancing in the line until he finally faced the enormous gate of the second exam.

The boy took a deep breath before taking his first step. Upon passing through the gate, he found himself in a completely dark room, except for a projection before him.
