The hivemind is conquering for me? Chapter 919: Potent Essence

"Dearest, Lower your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder." Hank spoke, prompting Valerica to let out a very long sigh.

"Hank. Please. Tell me what you are doing here." Valerica asked and Hank shook his head.

"I was getting to that, dear. You need to stop interrupting people. It is very rude. Now where was I? Oh yes. Serena arrived unannounced. There was no food in for a proper meal, so I am here getting two Lasagnes. One for Serena and one for young Apollo."

Everyone present was suddenly stunned by the news. Apollo was here? Now?

Orchid and Janine were giddy, Hecate was smiling, it was going to be nice to see her pupil once more.

Valerica, however, had a dark look on her face. "Hank. Were they alone when they arrived at my home?"

Hank nodded his head. "Yes. Just the two of them. I didn’t see anyone else as I was leaving."

"And how long ago was that?"

"Around two- No wait a moment, I’ve been in and out of naps... Four hours ago."

The pavement underneath Valerica suddenly gave way and began to crack as her entire body began to radiate anger. "That fucking slut... Using my home to bed my son? I’ll fucking castrate her."

Valerica then turned to Hecate and commanded, "My home. NOW."

Hecate wasn’t going to act playful nor was she going to tease now. Valerica was seeing red. She had a feeling, if things had gone all the way between Apollo and Serena, she might have to intervene and prevent a murder.

As the wormhole opened, Valerica charged through instantly. Meanwhile, Orchid and Janine looked at each other. Janine shrugged. Apollo could boink whoever he wanted. She knew he loved her and knew that with this reunion, she was getting some of his love directly from the source. Having him fired up and ready to go was a good thing.

Orchid recalled what Apollo told her a few years ago about war and humans. After war it leaves them horny. It was natural. So as long as Apollo did not get the partner impregnated. There would be no problems. And as long as she got filled up herself. She didn’t care.

...

Nerissa, Rhapso and Hailey exited a vehicle together. The Praetorians armour stood out amongst the white and grey of the surrounding mountainous terrain, but Hailey still in her dress stood out even more.

She walked ahead holding a tracking device, but paused upon seeing where they landed. "Isn’t this the old hags house?" She asked rhetorically. She had visited here a couple of times with Kathrine after all.

"So he just came here? I am both relieved and a little disappointed it wasn’t some grand escapade." Rhapso admitted as she began to walk ahead, following the blinking light in her helmet’s systems.

Nerissa and Hailey followed quietly behind before finding the crystal.

It had been half embedded in a rock surface, a few hundred meters away from the house. Nerissa followed the projected trajectory immediately and determined it was thrown from a downstairs window with great force.

"I wouldn’t rule out an escapade just yet, I highly doubt Apollo would throw the crystal away like this."

"Then I am done waiting, let’s go inside." Hailey said, walking back towards the house through the snow in her open toed heels.

As she came within ten meters of the front door of the mansion, a Psionic phenomenon suddenly occurred in front of her.

She clenched her right hand and all the snow around her suddenly hardened into ice lances. A few seconds later a figure exited the Psionic phenomenon, rage on her face. That rage then turned into confusion, then back to rage as she spoke.

"The fuck are you doing- Nope, doesn’t matter, I don’t have time for you right now, step aside. I have a relative to murder.

A few moments later, Janine, Orchid and finally Hecate emerged from the portal before it closed behind them.

"Nerissa? Hailey? Wow it’s so good seeing you two again!" Janine ran forward and hugged Hailey for a moment before backing off. Hailey was freezing to the touch at this moment.

Orchid looked around, smelt the air, frowned and began walking towards the house, ignoring the irrelevant prey.

"Valerica, can you explain your anger?" Nerissa asked, she wasn’t going to allow any murder if it was unjustified.

"Serena is trying, or is probably fucking my son as we speak, I forbade her from touching him before I..." She trailed off

"Ohh~ That’s why he vanished! Serena probably pulled rank to not have to sign him off the ship and left a cold trail. Very sneaky. I wasn’t aware she was interested in Apollo though, I don’t think he did either."

Janine looked at the second Praetorian who just said that before turning to Nerissa. "Um, Nerissa. First of all, hi. It’s great seeing you. Second, who is your um, friend?"

Nerissa smiled at Janine. She will admit she missed the Sepiidan. Very polite. Very friendly. "Janine, it is nice to see you too. I did not expect you here. This is Rhapso. She and I-"

"-Oh! You are Janine! Hello!" Rhapso said with jubilance before walking up to Janine and proceeding to hug her tightly. "I feel like I know you so much already. Apollo has told me so much about you. He really loves you, you know? His best friend and lover."

Janine.exe stopped functioning as she heard those words coming from a stranger and just began laughing. Apollo said that about her to some random person? She felt bubbly inside.

She also felt like she was about to snap in two, but fortunately she was put down as the green armour Praetorian continued. "Oh, where are my manners? My name is Rhapso. I served with Apollo for months and have decided to do what Nerissa did and follow around. He is a very very interesting person after all."

Rhapso then turned to the next individual, who had not spoken yet. "And you must be Or- wait, you aren’t Orchid. Orchid’s hair is purple. Who are you?"

"I am Hecate, My Praetorian, happy to be of service." Hecate declared with a slight prostration.

Rhapso stared at her for a couple of seconds before turning to Nerissa and asking. "Is this the idiot that tried to summon a Psionic being?"

"Hey!" Hecate began to defend herself, but suddenly stopped in the presence of two Praetorians. She could still be killed if they decided her original punishment was suddenly not enough.

Janine suddenly began looking around, confused. "Wait a second. Where is Orchid? She was here a second ago."

"Bah! I am done standing here in this weather. I am going inside and rescuing my son!" Valerica suddenly yelled. Everyone hearing that swiftly followed after her.

...

Valerica stormed through the house swiftly, sweeping it room by room. The first sign of life was in her living room, but she found nothing except a lit fireplace. From the living room she moved onto the kitchen, nothing. So she decided to check the lounge.

Upon opening the doors to the longue, she began to see red. Serena was lay on the floor, tits up. Clothes all removed aside from her black panties, which one could tell from a distance were slick wet through.

Her sister was lying there moaning softly, spasming over and over and over.

Valerica stormed forward and kicked her sister in the ribs hard, the action definitely broke something, but her sister continued to moan, infuriating Valerica further.

Grabbing Serena by the hair, Valerica lifted her to her dangling feet and screamed. "Where is he? What have you done to my son! I warned you! Touch him and you die!"

"Whsedri- hahaha! shnksshedfrbt masmgmypsswthpwr anshen BOOM! hashahah! I cme sho hrd an cnsthop haha! thnthe booshkck en more! Anikpt felngud! Cmndrunk! HAhaha!" Serena replied with perfect coherence...

"What?"

Valerica had never seen Serena this drunk before. Just what had she drank?

Nerissa then addressed the room. "Goodness! Where did she find this?" She said, pulling her head back after taking a whiff of a barrel on the table.

"What is it?" Valerica asked, still holding her sister’s hair in her vice grip.

"Nearly eighty thousand years old Psionic whiskey from what I can tell. The type of stuff that isn’t legal for anyone to consume. Considering its age. it might have had a second kick to the drunk stage. Judging from the fact she isn’t dead, she must have only had a few sips."

Rhapso then walked over and inspected it herself. "Looks like it’s only just been opened as well. Meaning if she has had a few sips... Apollo must have had the rest as it is empty."

Valerica’s eyes narrowed as her hand went from her sister’s hair to her neck. "So that was your plan huh? Get my one and only drunk and then have your way with him? You are pathetic. What you wanted another child? I swear I am going to pull out your uterus if you get pregnant with a child that should be mi-

"-Apollo hasn’t had sex with her. I can’t smell his *ahem* ’potent essence’ within the room. Just hers."

"What are you, a blue hunting hound? How can you be sure?" Valerica snapped at Janine with misplaced anger.

"Well... No. But I am a Sepiida. I know about sex and I know my mates scent more than anything. It’s burned into my brain. He has been here. I can smell him on the couch, but he has not been inside her. That I do know."

Valerica frowned at Serena hearing that. She watched for a few moments as she drunkenly tried to free herself from the chokehold. After a few more seconds, she let her sister go, who instantly began laughing and moaning again.

The slut wasn’t a priority anymore. The main priority now was simple.

Find Apollo and make sure he is safe.
