The two bodies of Uri rushed toward Colleen and Backster planning a double suicide bombing. This time he used a card to exchange most of the power from his detonation for explosive speed, this way the bodies of Uri would be able to latch on to Colleen and Backster, leaving very little room for them to dodge them, but as a result, the power behind his bodies suicide bombing would be reduced by an exceptional amount however just enough to buy demiG.o.d Baylor time to kidnap the boy and escape to the hideout. This was in line with Uri’s intention because he did not dare to kill Patriarch Heatsend’s lady.

Uri was right to not have thoughts about killing Colleen but he was wrong to underestimate her. Her t.i.tle was Soldier queen, if he had taken the hint from it then he would have saved himself the following embarra.s.sment.

“Verglas Speculum,” Colleen mumbled, and the moisture in the air surrounding her and her allies froze and turned into a thin sheet of one-way mirror separating them from the enemies. The allies could see through the thin sheet of ice mirror but the enemies could only see their reflection which then morphed to look like Colleen and attacked them.

The two bodies of Uri which were rus.h.i.+ng at Colleen and Backster were caught off guard by the sudden development but due to the card that they had used to exchange their bodies’s power for their sudden explosive speed, they could not stop on their tracks, and only met their reflection that had morphed into Colleens head on.

As soon as Uri’s two bodies neared Colleens, they were grabbed and dragged into the thin sheet of the Ice mirror by them but before any further development, they explode along with them the ice mirrors protecting Colleen and Backster explode. The plan was a huge failure, the two bodies of Uri died even before they could reach their target.

As for Agent Lois and General Baylor, as they neared their targets Ann and the boy, they and their targets too were also separated by a thin reflective layer of frozen air, that reflected their reflection which morphed into Colleen and attacked them. Unlike Uri, Agent Lois and General Baylor did not act brazenly, so they were not caught off guard by the sudden revolution instead they easily escaped the entanglement of Colleen’s attack.

.....

“Backster, protect the boy. Ann, check on Anna,” giving orders to her allies, Colleen looks at Agent Lois and Baylor adding, “I will handle these two clowns.”

Colleen was not worried about her granddaughter because she knew that if Ann was still here then it means Anna was fine. Then cracking her joints she slowly stepped forward saying, “It has been a while since I have been on the frontlines, but to forget me so soon, I guess previous achievements were overshadowed by my family’s. Let me make some new ones.”

Colleen had just recently become a demiG.o.d, in a family filled with powerful demiG.o.ds it was not a big deal, not to mention her old achievement fell short when compared to her family’s, neither did they make it to the front page but it did not mean that they were to be glossed over and her humble yet overwhelming t.i.tle, Soldier Queen, was the evidence of that. But to be fair, most of the people who watched her on the battlefield had retired, not to mention she went on a long retreat to break through into the demiG.o.d realm, so it was not a surprise that people had forgotten about her.

But before attacking General Baylor and Agent Lois she said, “I advise you two to surrender, otherwise it is going to be painful.”

Agent Lois was about to yell ‘go to h.e.l.l old hag’ while launching an attack at Colleen but before she could do so General Baylor stepped forward and politely said, “Your Highness, I am not here to fight. As Wyatt’s mother’s friend, I am here to see if the boy is safe and not being coerced by the southern royal family.”

“He is fine,” After General Baylor visited the southern royal warp array with his wife, Colleen had looked into General Baylor and his relations.h.i.+p with the boy. Her daughter had already computed everything there was to know about the boy and General Baylor long ago, so accessing those files she felt that Baylor may really care for the boy and did not have any other agenda, so when he demanded answers instead of a fight, she answered him.

“That’s not enough. I want to hear those words from him,” General Baylor did not know what the organization was planning for the boy but seeing how the southern emperor and her family seemed to not just protect the boy but also care for him, he thought maybe it would be for the best if he left the boy here instead of taking him to the central capital where waters were deep and more turbulent than ever. But before that, he had to make sure that what he saw was not all just a show by personally speaking with the boy.

“General, stop talking nonsense with that old hag and focus on the mission, we only have 8 minutes left. I will hold her back, you go get the boy,” Listening to the discussion between Colleen and Baylor, Agent Lois suddenly had a bad feeling about the mission. If Baylor were to turn on her now, with Uri gone, the mission would definitely fail. Because even though she was confident to face and defeat a demiG.o.d as a semi-demiG.o.d, her confidence dwindled in the face of three demiG.o.ds. Therefore, she called Colleen an Old hag hoping to anger her and break any chance of Baylor and Colleen talking their differences out. Until now what she had read about Colleen’s personality in her profile had been proven wrong because of Field Marshal Heatsend limiting Colleen’s actions but now that things had changed she hoped her little trick worked and foiled any kind of understanding between Colleen and Baylor from forming.
