"So it's kind of like us, Brood drinking blood, or the Succuba partaking in sexual acts?" Stacey asked.
"In a way, yes, however, we Brood can't consume the blood from the heart because it is poisonous to us."
"Poisonous?" Lorelie asked in surprise.
"It's something to do with the energy; it prevents our bodies from converting it into the type of energy we need to extend our lifespan and instead lessens our lifespan somehow."
"What about Succuba, you can mate with Dragons, right?" Becky asked.
"Sure, and in fact, I have been with several during my life, but their special energy doesn't do anything for us since it does not affect their cum. Dragons give no more benefit to us than Terrans," Aphrodite replied with a shrug before adding, "No offence."
"None taken," Becky replied while Tessa nodded in agreement.
"I wonder if that's why Adam decided to attack it then, to try and claim the heart?" Eri asked.
"I don't see why, his race doesn't have animalistic features like yours," Rowena replied.
"You wouldn't say that if you had slept with him," Stacey said with a smirk, while Lorelie nodded with a slight blush.
"Oh ho, he's an animal in bed, is he?" Aphrodite asked with obvious interest.
"That's something we will only reveal to his harem members," Lorelie stated adamantly.
"Hehe, still so protective," Aphrodite said with a giggle, though if anyone had paid close attention, they would have seen a look of disappointment flash in her eyes for a moment before vanishing.

"Viewers, I can hardly believe what I am witnessing here, but Spector Unit Six has actively attacked the Scorpo instead of fleeing," Honcho said, mixed surprise and excitement.
"I honestly can't decide if Dive Lorelie's boyfriend is brave or crazy," Raella remarked.
"Probably both," Dulaebella replied before continuing, "I'm curious to see what he plans to do against the Scorpo since the energy bolts he is firing at it are doing basically nothing.
It is fascinating that his mech's beam canceler works against the Scorpos energy beams, though."
"Is that because it's a different type of energy?" Honcho asked curiously.
"That's correct, Scorpo generate their energy from their heart while mechs, ships and the like energy weapons generate their energy from their reactors, which are two completely different types," Dulaebella explained.
"I see, well, it seems that Spector Unit Six has managed to attract the Scopo's attention, and he is slowly leading it away from the young Levithen while continuing to fire energy bolts at it," Honcho announced and was about to continue when Raella suddenly said.
"Are those missiles heading towards Spector Unit Six?"
On the edge of the feed, everyone suddenly saw two objects flying quickly towards Spector Unit Six while leaving an orange trail behind each of them.
"Did someone fire missiles or rockets at him?" Honcho asked in surprise.
"It could be, though, missile exhaust plumes are not normally that shade of orange but a mixture of several colours, including orange," Dulaebella replied.
"Do we think someone is sabotaging his fight with the Scorpo then?" Honcho asked.
"I can't see the Catonians being happy if that's the case, after all, they invited Diva Lorelie here, and her boyfriend is her bodyguard, also her boyfriend is actively fighting against the Scorpo and delaying it until the defence force or military arrives," Raella replied.
"They can't be missiles, they're the wrong shape, they're too triangular," Dulaebella remarked as she continued to study the incoming objects.
"They kind of resemble the drones Spector Unit Six is using," Raella said thoughtfully.
"You don't suppose they are replacement drones for the two he lost after the sneak attack from Excess Surplus, do you?" Honcho asked before adding, "I mean, he couldn't call any replacements while he was inside the sphere, and it would have been against the rules."
"You might be right, but if that's the case and he starts to control them along with the eight he is already using to fight against the Scorpo, then that would mean…. And I can hardly believe I'm about to say this, but that would mean Spector Unit Six is capable of controlling not eight drones, which is already shocking, but ten, the same as the Black Knight," Dulaebella said in disbelief.
💫💫💫
As everyone continued watching the Sportscast feed, they saw that Spector Unit Six continued attacking the Scorpo while leading it away from the Levithen as the beam canceler absorbed another energy beam shot at it.
Suddenly, they all saw two more drones arrive beside Spector Unit 6 before they started to join the others in firing on the giant space creature.
[[NDS Level: 87%]]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): FUCK! Spector Unit 6 is actually fighting with 10 drones, do you know what this means?]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): It means that it is comparable to the Black Knight who used 10 drones during the Siege of Fenix Nest.]
[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): Does this mean that Lord Malacoss' theory about Spector Unit Six being the Black Knight is correct?]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): With the way this NDS level keeps increasing, we might soon find out if Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage theory about it charging up the planetary annihilation beam is correct.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): I'm surprised you're not more excited and hopeful about this Revi.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): I have waited twelve lifetimes for the Black Knights' return. I can be patient a little while longer until it is confirmed.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): I suppose, but I'm sure many of your race will be excited and hopeful once they learn this.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): I don't doubt it, however, as their empress and ruler of my race, I need to remain calm and level-headed because even if it does turn out to be the true Black Knight that saved us, it is only the mech that is the same and not the pilot who is most likely long dead.]
[LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): You're not wrong. If Malacoss' theory is indeed correct, it means something happened to the original pilot of the Black Knight.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Fuck that thing's tough, all those energy blasts and it's barely leaving a scorch mark.]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): What did you expect? It's a creature that has to not only survive in the cold vacuum of space, but also within sub-space.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): How do people normally beat them?]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): Overwhelming firepower.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Huh!]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): They are usually exterminated by using the main cannons of one or more large-class or bigger ships.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Oh yeah, the simple approach, I love that.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): And what if there are no large-class ships available?]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): Big ass missiles.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): My kind of plan.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Fucking gun nut.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): And damn proud of it, if you love your job, it's not really a job.]
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): Have you all noticed that the NDS level is at 87%? That means the streamer only needs to absorb one more round of energy beams from the Scorpo, and it will be 100%.]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): Oh shit, that means we might see the planetary annihilation beam soon. 🥳]
"Fuck, this thing's tough," Adam cursed before he mentally commanded the drones to spread out around the Scorpo and attack it from different angles while Spector Unit 6 started to try and flank it.
This seemed to make the Scorpo even angrier than before because it opened its mouth as if to scream at Spector Unit 6 angrily, as the energy bolts started to hit it all over its body instead of just on the giant pincer like before.
The Scorpo angrily started to swing its pincers, tail and tentacle legs at the drones that were flying around it in an attempt to destroy the annoying pests that kept stinging it.
The fact that it felt like it was being stung only pissed the Scorpo off more, since it was a Scorpo; it was the one that stung other beings, it didn't get stung.
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Why the fuck isn't it firing off its energy beams at the drones and is trying to hit them instead?]
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): Maybe it figured out that the energy beams were not working against the streamer and so thinks they wont work against the drones.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): You think that giant scorpion tentacle monster has brains?]
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): Why not? They mentioned earlier that they have learned not to come near human-populated planets, which shows they have at least some form of intelligence.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): She's right, it's you who doesn't have any intelligence. Scorpos are known to be fairly intelligent creatures; it's something all sub-space capable creatures have in common, though the dragons obviously have the highest level of intelligence.]
Suddenly, the Scorpo raised its eight tentacle-like legs up high before flinging each of them quickly down in the general direction of one of the drones. As it did so, several of the spikes that were attached to the tentacles detached and flew towards the eight different drones.
