[Resistance too weak…, initiating mutation…!]
Planet Darvis, the battlefield where the largest warriors and invaders fighting in the Cosmic Cataclysm were gathered…
Alongside the warriors from Planet Darvis and Planet Austere, the players gave their all into fighting, harvesting experience points with each kill as they aimed to complete different milestone missions that they activated.
In one of the smaller battlefields, a squadron of players fought.
"Show the power of the Blue Brook Guild to the world!"
"Let's show the Guild Leader what we're capable of!"
"Let's show him that we have the talent to become the next Horny Assassin, let's win this war!"
They gave their all and fought with gusto, activating different abilities, chaining them to trigger combo moves as they resisted the Space Bugs.
The fight was going well, this was until one of the players suddenly changed.
"Roar…!"
This player suddenly transformed as his head changed, turning into that of a hideous Bug as the next moment, he turned on his teammates.
Chaining 3 of his strongest moves into smooth attack combos, he injured 3 of his teammates as this instantly destabilized their attack formation. The Space Bugs that were attacking them took advantage of the situation and pounced on it.
The players did not withstand it, they were devoured instantly.
"Arghhh…!"
Their screams as they faded into white particles were what reverberated in their absence, spooking any warrior that witnessed the scene.
This strange occurrence was just the first of many.

…
On the battlefield, multiple warriors, not just the players were affected by the strange power rampaging everywhere as they mutated into fearsome monsters.
Their mutation was not the greatest threat, the greatest threat was the uncertainty, warriors not knowing who among them would mutate any moment.
Everything happened suddenly, it was hard to react to it appropriately.
Across a battlefield spanning an entire planet, the effects of this sudden mutation in the battlefield was felt across everywhere and it triggered death!
"Arghhh…!" Screams reverberated across the battlefield.
The death rate of the forces representing Planet Darvis immediately spiked by an astonishing 90%, blood flowed everywhere like a river.
It was still just a few seconds after the Bug Conqueror triggered the ability, but finally, the higher-ups of the resistance army could finally react.
Seated in the commanding chair of the Golden Cicada, General Aztog had a fearsome look on his face as he observed everything that went on.
His face turned grim. 'This is bad'.
'Most of these warriors are hesitant to kill the Psychic possessed warriors because they still saw them as comrades just a second ago, such a sudden change in perspective is too abrupt for them to adapt to'.
'That is why the kill rate of the Psychic possessed warriors is so high!'
'They can't do it alone; we need to help'. He made his decision.
"Transmit my orders to all Commanders". General Aztog laid off his orders through his assistant. "Command all Battleships to take out the mutated warriors, don't let them cause more disruption in our ranks".
General Aztog waited 2 seconds and not hearing any word from his assistant, he turned over to look in an annoyed manner than he was shocked.
"Wang?!"
"Roar…!!!"
General Aztog's Grade D Assistant already mutated, turning into what seemed like a hybrid between a Space Bug and a Nak warrior.
General Aztog froze, he could not react to what he was seeing.
The disbelief made this veteran warrior to lose his guard, he could not protect himself as the mutated warrior pounced on him but just before he could get him, the sound of a gunshot reverberated loudly.
BAM!
The mutated warrior dropped lifelessly to the ground the next moment.
General Aztog froze in shock, he stuttered. "W-Wang?"
"General, we need your orders!" The leader of General Aztog's protection team, a Grade C Shadow Assassin who pulled the trigger to kill the mutated warrior reminded the General as he walked closer to him.
"This is war, we need to react appropriately".
General Aztog finally nodded, he still couldn't take his eyes off the dead body of his assistant, he still felt like everything was a dream.
This was when his reaction finally dawned on him. "This…"
"This is exactly how all the other warriors on the battlefield have been reacting, even I fell victim to it, how do I remedy this?"
He was put in a dilemma but he quickly pushed it to the back of his mind as he rushed back to his Commanding chair. Before he could give any order though, he froze as the support A.I of the battleship showed red lights.
General Aztog looked closer, he was shocked. "What?!"

[Calculating Intelligence stat…, please wait…]

Legolas felt his brain freeze in shock even as he lost control of his body.
'How?!' He thought in shock.
'When?'
'The game interface never told me that I was infected!'
'What does this mean?'
He could feel his consciousness still inside his body but he could no longer control his body. A different consciousness now controlled it, and at this moment, they were in a sort of mental battle to seize final ownership of the body.
Even as this mental battle raged, he was already starting to mutate.
Legolas was horrified. 'I can't let this happen!'
'I have to fight it!'
He tried to make his brain more active by spamming it with chaotic and aggressive thoughts, a battle of the mind started on the spot.
Legolas was not the only one suffering from this effect, Champion Onan also did. From inside his mechanic suit, shock plastered the face of the Grade B Mechanic as he lost partial control over his body.
His body also showed signs of mutating as green scales started appearing.
They were horrified, General Aztog was even more horrified.
This didn't last long though, Legolas' game interface lit up again.
-----
[Intelligence Calculation Complete! You have higher Intelligence stat!]
[You have triggered Natural Mental Invasion Instinct!]
[Congratulations! You have purged the Psychic Parasite!]
----
Bzzz!
A familiar Psychic Specter separated out of Legolas' body.
It was almost at the same time that the Specter separated out of his body that it also separated out of Champion Onana. Like the Summoner class, the Mechanic and Mage main classes prioritized intelligence even the more.
After it separated out of them, they did not feel relief, they rather felt dread.
The same thought went through their minds. 'The others!'
During the process of the Psychic Parasite acting up, his contracted beasts that he previously amalgamated with, Bran and Predator were yanked away.
Legolas decided to integrate with one again.
-----
You have activated active ability: Beast Integration
You have fused with Bran!
[Base Control Level: 54%]
[+6% Base Control Level from hierarchy!]
[Intermediate Summoner Knowledge: Enhanced Leadership Detected!]
[+15% Control Level!]
[Overall Control Level: 75%]
----
"The Psychic Parasite has evolved it's abilities again". Legolas warned as he flew off having integrated with Bran. "That is why I could not detect it".
Without saying a word, Champion Onana flew after him rapidly.
The sensation as the Psychic Parasite tried to take over his body still lingered in his mind; it was a traumatic feeling to experience. 'I hope…'
His thoughts were interrupted by a distress call.
Christensen's voice reverberated from the other end. "The President…"
The call disconnected.
…
As the Cosmic Cataclysm raged on, there were some places that were more heavily protected than the others. One was the control room to all the planetary defenses that were set up, and another was the Presidential Villa.
President Shanks and Vice President Lydia were not left alone.
Predicting that the Space Bugs may target them, Blade was made in charge of the defense of the Presidential Villa. As for the President and his Vice, Daemon, Emak, and Eleanor were assigned to protect them from the dark.
"What is happening?" President Shanks asked as he noticed what happened.
"I think it's the Psychic Parasites again…"
It was as Emak tried to explain that everything changed.
ραпdα -n૦νe| , c૦m BOOM!
It happened instantly!
As soon as the signs of mutation started, they ended, and it was an almost full transformation. At this moment of truth for the army of Planet Darvis, President Shanks and High Official Eleanor mutated, becoming infected.
"Special Summoner Ability: Beast Plane Summoning!"
"Special Summoner ability: Beast Integration!"
"Eleanor Specialty: Ultimate Support!"
Emak was at point-blank range, including Vice President Lydia, they could not dodge as President Shanks attacked them at point-blank range.
It felt like a nightmare, a nightmare of blood and death.
BOOM!
