Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

We kept walking until we finally reached a room that was different from all the other rooms. It had no cages and almost no blinking lights, but there was an enormous glass tank in the center of it with some kind of clear liquid inside. There were some wires running out of the bottom and into a control panel on one side, which I assumed meant that this chamber was somehow powered by electricity from the generator.

I placed my hand on the tank of liquid and scanned it, but I already knew what it was from the computer records.

[Scanned Target: Emperor Death Water]

[Description: Special water infused with the bodies of dead rulers from all over the Universe. Levels of potency vary depending on how many rulers have died in a certain period of time. Drinking this will increase the strength of leaders but will drastically decrease a person's lifespan.]

[Warning: Highly Toxic.]

"Is that what I think it is?" Mox asked as he looked over my shoulder, and Gobbles hopped off him and started to crawl around on the ground.

"Yes," I said as I stepped away from the tank. "This is Emperor Death Water."

I then went to check out the control panel, hoping that there was some kind of map or something to show me where this chamber was located in relation to everything else because if it wasn't for my computer records, I would have no idea where we were going.

"I have heard about it, but nothing more than the rumors. What does it do?" Mox asked as he came up next to me, and Gobbles started poking at the wires running into the tank.

The Gideon grabbed his companion away before he could cause any damage, though, but Gobbles just bit him again in response. "Ow! What did I do?!" Mox demanded as he dropped Gobbles, who just stared up at him innocently before scampering back over to poke at the wires again. "You little shit! Stay away from there!"

Mox tried to swat Gobbles away again, but the creature just jumped onto his head and started playing with his hair while making happy noises. The Gideon groaned in frustration but didn't say anything else as he turned back toward me.

"It supposedly gives leaders more strength," I explained as Mox looked at me skeptically. "But, it also kills them eventually. I don't know how long it would take for the effect to wear off, but I imagine it would be quite some time."

"So, you are saying that if someone were to drink this water, they would become more powerful but die in the process?" Mox asked, and I nodded. "Why would anyone want that?!"

"Unlike most, I can regenerate my body, I have access to my regeneration pool, and ultraviolet light also recharges me, so the side effects have no meaning to me. I can't get old and die, nor can I get any disease that I can't get rid of," I explained, and Mox gave me a skeptical look.

"You make it sound like you are a god-like Alpha!" Mox declared, and I frowned.

"Alpha is a pretender, and God is a strong word. I can still die just like everyone else; I am just infinitely harder to kill than everyone else. I am no god, nor do I want to be seen as one. I want to be seen as a leader that everyone trusts, but I really don't care at the same time. I just want everyone to be happy," I said, and Mox was quiet for a moment as he looked at me.

"You are different from Alpha." Mox finally said as Gobbles started to play with his hair again.

"Yes, I know," I replied with a sigh as I turned back towards the tank of water. "I need to get a sample of this before we move on, though."

I poked a vine into the tank and absorbed some of it, but then my body freaked the fuck out, and I pulled a Symbiote, getting hit with some high-frequency sounds. Mox and Gobbles jumped back from me as the bunder started to shake, but I knew this was happening worldwide. I was trying to calm down, but thousands of memories and visions were being driven into my mind and played all at the same time.

"Papi?! What is going on?! The entire world is trembling!" Sofia exclaimed as she appeared on a screen in my view because it was flickering from the Silence.

"Stuck my dick in a blender, I think! Fuck! I was trying to get a sample of some crazy water, and it fucked me up! Gah! and now I just drank about ten gallons of it, and my brain is getting filled with images from past dead leaders! Give me a minute!" I growl and closed my eyes to center myself, and the trembling slowly stopped

"Papi! What was that?" Sofia asked again as she looked at me worried, and I sighed.

"I have no fucking clue, but the whole world just got hit with a bunch of memories and visions from past dead leaders. Was hard enough to keep up with one mind, let alone thousands!" I exclaimed as I shook my head, trying to clear some of the images still in there."

Sofia was quiet for a moment before she spoke up again. "Papi… what exactly is this Emperor Death Water?" She asked cautiously.

I frowned but then shook my head before answering her question. "No idea really other than it gives strength to leaders but kills them eventually," I explained, and Sofia was quiet for a moment before she spoke up again.

"I really think you need to be taken out back for a good beating, Papi. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Sofia snapped as I looked over at Mox and Gobbles, who were holding each other in fear. Some of my vines had grabbed them, but now my body was pulling back together.

"I am fine! Just give me a second, and I will be right as rain!" I exclaimed as my body finally calmed down, and the images in my mind started to fade away.

Sofia was quiet for a moment before she spoke up again. "You better be, Papi. You're not allowed to die until after you make me an auntie," She said sternly before the screen went black again. What the hell was that supposed to mean?

"Are you two alright?" I asked as Mox pushed Gobbles off himself awkwardly as he stood up.

"I am fine," Mox said as he looked at me, but Gobbles just made a series of happy noises as he rolled around on the ground. "What did you do?" He asked after a moment.

"Well, I got what I wanted," I replied as I looked at the now empty container of Emperor Death Water. "But it seems to have had some side effects."

"Like making the ground shake?!" Gobbles asked after he stopped rolling around.

"No, that is just what happens when I lose control of myself. I was lucky that all the world did was shake a bit, or I would have to go and run around to do damage control. I really had no idea that I was going to react like that to the stuff, but the worst part is that I really feel no different besides the countless new memories that I had. The trouble is that even with how strong I have become, I can't sort through them all that easily.

"It sounds like you are in over your head," Mox said after a moment, making Gobbles make an offending noise. "But it seems that whatever you did worked, and you aren't dead," he added as he looked at Gobbles, who just shrugged innocently at him before turning back to me.

"Yeah, I think so too," I replied with a nod as I turned away from them and started walking again. "We should keep moving, though; the next room we are heading to has the Storage unit."

We finally reached the room with the Storage unit, and I went over to check it out. It was a large metal box with a lot of wires running into it, and there was a small control panel on the side. I checked it out, but it seemed to be offline.

"Do you think you can get this working?" Mox asked as he came up next to me, and Gobbles hopped off him and started poking at the wires coming out of the back of the unit.

"Maybe," I replied as I looked at the control panel. "But it looks like it is offline, so I am not sure."

I walked over to the box and turned the handle of the extra-dimensional storage box that looked more like a safe, but there was only a small one-inch black galactic-colored cube. I picked it up and looked at it for a moment before putting it on the ground.

"What is that?" Mox asked as he came over to look at it, and Gobbles just poked at it with his finger before pulling it back quickly when the cube made a noise.

"I am not sure," I replied as I stared at the cube. "But whatever it is, we need to take it with us."

I bent down to pick it up, but then a man suddenly was pushed out from an incredibly small point and fell over and puked instantly.

"How fucking long did you assholes plan on... who the fuck are you, and why are the aliens out of their cells?!" The man asked in confusion after wiping his mouth clean.
