A giant bug!

Well, not a giant bug, but it was a giant bug-shaped spaceship.

The spaceship farthest from the city of space pirates was a strange bug-shaped one.

It resembled a giant ant thing.

They had already seen the spaceships of Mindflayers, they looked strange. And the Spaceships of the Heralds of Light looked like just sea ships that flew over space.

But this giant bug-shaped one was the weirdest, Chaos thought.

He looked over it as he camouflaged within the empty space, using illusions and more, he flew around it, undetected by its powerful detecting abilities.

The gigantic spaceship hovered in the middle of the air as it slowly moved through the traffic of the space pirate city.

The creatures inside, according to Chaos, were interesting.

They weren't humanoid, or well, not like anything he had seen before. They resembled bipedal bugs, similar to ants, their heads and so on looked like this, although their bodies were covered by exoskeleton.

They operated the spaceship rather peacefully, although their leader was thrice the size of the others, and had a very big and fat abdomen, with clear womanly features with a wider hips, and even breast-like protuberances over her chest exoskeleton plate. She also had a crown atop her head.

Chaos was able to see them with ease thanks to his vision and sight-related abilities. And then used his Appraisal to detect what they were. The Appraisal Result showed that their race was named Antarant, and they were aliens that originated from a world where bug-like aliens existed, they had spread across the galaxy and were proficient at building armies.

They usually had a queen with several soldiers sent to explore the confines of the galaxy, this one fleet might be one of them. Their purpose seemed obvious, they had come to buy illegal acquired materials and technology for their home world. They were not inherently malicious, as Chaos didn't found anything they had done "wrong", but they were indeed colluding with space pirates.

Nonetheless, even then, Chaos didn't particularly care.

He infused his Psionic Energy into the spaceship as a deadly wave of transparent power reached the ants!

FLASH!

"Griiieeggh?!"

The ants shrieked as they suddenly felt paralyzed.

The queen resisted a bit, she had mental powers that controlled her soldiers free will, but she ended being dominated.

Using the powerful Brainwashing Psionic Art, Chaos immediately got himself a way to infiltrate!

He converted himself into his humanoid form, and with the rest of his party, they sneaked into the spaceship.

"We did it so easily…" said Chaos.

"See? You're just amazing, my dear lord!" said Abyss.

"Very cool, papa. I wish I could do mind controlling stuff too." Said Erebus.

"Maybe I should just try to mind control the entire city… No, that could be troublesome." Thought Chaos. He knew that even as strong as he was, there was a limit of how much he could mind control people, an entire city was impossible as of now.

The ants kneeled before Chaos, as the Ant Queen gave him her throne to sit on.

"My lord, please."

"Thank you."

He sat over the throne of the spaceship as he asked the ants several things regarding slaves and more.

"Tell me what you know about slaves…"

He learned a few things, such as that the Slaves were being mostly sold in the Black Market, and the ants had seen them being contained in the right area of the city.

A plan as crazy as saving these slaves had to include things such as a big enough place to store them all alive and possibly comfortable if possible, and also the issue with breaking into that place.

But there are also several other slaves being sold actively in the black market by many different owners.

"Hmm… Let's prioritize the one with the more slaves for now. I just want to get them out of the way so I can slaughter the pirates already." Said Chaos.

"But how will we get a big enough movable area to store them alive?" asked Abyss.

"Hmm…"

Chaos began to think, until he was enormous spaceships flying around.

"I have an idea."

Chaos commanded the ants to fly near the station where many spaceships were stored.

He camouflaged himself using Illusion Veil and Lilith's illusion magic, and began spamming Brainwashing all around the area where the spaceship owners were resting.

The waves of psionic energy expanded across the place in a second, as things began to change right away.

Some realized something was wrong and screamed, and others resisted very well against him, but were still controlled at the end too.

Chaos mind expanded across the entire place, he took over 10 spaceships and their owners in a few seconds!

He quickly inspected the area, nobody realized this yet.

Excellent!

Chaos moved swiftly, he commanded his newly brainwashed pawns to get moving, the spaceships quickly began to follow the ant queen one, as they moved to the area where many slaves were mass stored.

He extracted more info from his new brainwashed pawns, finding out that this area was highly guarded by powerful mechanical guards and there was a very high vigilance system. The entire facility resembled a gigantic building in a cube-shape, made of bright silver metal.

It was surrounded by enormous metallic walls and a gigantic forcefield fueled by magic crystals.

Chaos was able to easily destroy the barrier if he wanted, but he had to do this swiftly and if possible, without causing commotion to not attract more problems.

He learned that it was possible to buy slaves in big batches directly from this place, so he pretended to do this. There were no spaceships around as of now, so it was the best time to get in there.

The receptionist of this place was an artificial intelligent made by a black marker organization that took the job of massively capturing people and sell them as slaves. The moment Chaos reached this place with his fleet of spaceships, it spoke.

"Welcome to Human Resources Inc."
