Chapter 416 - Saints Versus Gods

The shrunk and distorted world that was starting to merge with the other dimensions was quickly changing and had already defied all forms of known science.

It wasn't just time that shrunk and was altered, all forms of known laws began to change. The mysterious power of Universe Energy controlled the changes in that area. Even the simplest laws of thermodynamics, motion, gravity had changed. In this dimension, unless those fighting can alter the laws itself or wield laws on their own, they would die.

And around Seeker and Lynd, the changes that was breaking through all known scientific theory were not propagated.

The Realm of the two was acting like an inferior version of the Universe energy. The energy that Seeker was making inside his body, and Lynd's power outside, continued to work naturally as if they were standing in normal space. Their power allowed them to maintain the laws that they were used to. But all of this was happening within the range of their Realm Somatotopy.

Seeker attempted to send an energy outside his realm and it became nothingness.

"This sucks. In this scenario, all those attacks we could do before are now limited to simple punches and kicks." Seeker complained.

"Science isn't working normally in this world after all. We have to keep out attacks within our Realm Somatotopy, or it would disperse to nothingness. What can we do? Do you have any plans?"

"We have to test what she's capable of. Who knows what she can do in this place? It's like we're fighting a literal god." Lynd frowned.

"Two Saint-level cultivators against an immortal god. Not a bad way to die." Seeker laughed.

"Interesting power. Let's see if it holds!" Shakstress harnessed the Universe energy around her body.

"That weak copy can't stand against the real thing! You two false Presiders can't even gather Universe Energy, can you?"

"I wonder if I can touch that..." Seeker laughed and crushed a metallic cube. The lightning energy erupted and covered Seeker.

It was as if a large Seeker made of lighting was formed.

"Behold! My constant training in Pokemon has allowed me to do this!" Seeker revealed.

Seeker had trained to split the thought process that he finally managed to replay the game even without the help of Lennox's program. Through the help of Seeker's other personalities that trained to replicate the unexplainable process to replicate a game in his head, he achieved multiple thought processes by focusing his other personalities on making up for what he lacked in numbers quality.

The power of Arthur's foundation finally surfaced. Speedy yet accurate estimations were applied, so Seeker's control over the lightning energy was becoming more and more precise.

At the center, the lightning energy orbited around him and created a denser, physical form.

Seeker filled his Realm Somatotopy with this living lightning and charged forward.

Shakstress watched and was secretly amazed. She retreated and suddenly shot out several beams through her arms.

Seeker rushed in without hesitating and shot out his lightning as he drew closer.

BOOM!

"What an idiot! Quantum Shrink!" Shakstress laughed, and the entire area in front of Seeker began to distort. Several small black holes appeared in the space in front of them, shrinking all forms of matter that passed there.

A powerful suction force was drawing Seeker, and the space around Seeker was collapsing because of the small black hole that was a creature.

All matter that entered that region would be shrunk, and it would have killed Seeker. It appeared in front and even behind Seeker.

"You're up, old man." Seeker chuckled.

The Path of the Passover appeared once more, and even in the minuscule space where even Shakstress could not teleport, Seeker managed to do it.

Seeker's figure disappeared from the space.

"What?!" Shakstress was shocked.

"How could he teleport?!"

"I honestly don't know." The Adult Seeker appeared behind Shakstress and delivered a Lightning field punch.

Shakstress tried to block with her shield but only managed to evade and raise her elbow to block the attack that was aimed at her head.

BOOM!

The force of the punch was so strong that the fist of the Supreme Exoskeleton began to crack and shatter.

Shakstress was knocked back and undid her own power as she was being thrown into the space where the black hole she created was. The black hole vanished on time, but Lynd was already there.

"Maw of the Dragon!" Lynd roared as he harnessed a massive amount of Desolation. Shakstress was thrown so far that he had entered Lynd's Realm and the power of Desolation bit down as it took the form of a Dragon.

"Hmph!" Shakstress activated her powers and grew larger, and quickly used her shield to block.

BANG!

The Maw of the dragon could no longer envelop all of Shakstress and bit on the shield.

With one hand, the giant Shakstress did a backhand slap at Seeker and used his shield to smash on Lynd.

The hand suddenly gathered Universe Energy, as did the shield.

The power of Desolation met the Universe shield and exploded.

Lynd was sent flying back.

The slap that was about to strike Seeker missed as Seeker teleported once more, but as he appeared, Shakstress had suddenly shrunk down several times.

Seeker was too far for his fist to connect and immediately teleported once more and appeared right next to Lynd.

Shakstress began to grow larger and larger and launched a powerful attack using Universe Energy.

A hand-formed from the great space above them and began to rush down,

Lynd saw it and frowned.

"She's increasing her size so that she can make attacks that require less energy."

"I get it. Since she changed her size, she's only wasting a small amount of Universe Energy. The black hole will be much bigger now. But doing so will have its consequences. This strange dimension is too small for her to retain that size."

"We need to stabilize the space around us if we are to stop that attack from becoming a quantum shrinking black hole."

"Or, we could use that instability and destroy this place. I'm willing to bet that Shakstress that is an anomaly in this minuscule world will suffer."

"So that's the difference between you and Arthur. In these moments, Arthur thinks on the defensive."

"That's the Arthur you met. I'm sure he's changed now. The fact that he risked diving in this place proves it. Anyway, just like we practiced then. Realm Synch!" Seeker smiled as the Kid seeker took over.

Harnessing the power derived from the Paths of Harker's trio and the Small Time Drug Dealers, Seeker, and Lynd began to combine their Realm and created the miracle of Realm Synch.

While the former teams used Realm Synch to sense, see, and somehow improve their Realm Somatotopy by fighting together, Seeker and Lynd tried something different.

No Path can ever be copied. This was the theory and belief that was held in the timeline of Adult Seeker. The miracle of the Way itself was outstanding. But now, Seeker was here. And the two close friends who had the power to learn and harness the Paths of others made an experimental attack.

If they could link their Realms and control the Paths that each other possesses, their power would grow exponentially.

Immense radiation appeared as the two synched their powers.

The energy source of Seeker's Dantian and of Lynd's Cultivators body worked together.

"Realm!" Seeker and Lynd shouted together as they harnessed the power of the Realm King.

The power of Realm erupted out and began, and a telekinetic force suddenly held every particle in that strange world.

"WHAT?!" Shakstress was amazed.

"World Seizer!" Lynd and Seeker shouted together.

The massive hands that were moving towards Seeker and Lynd suddenly stopped. And in that world where even time shrunk, time suddenly stopped.

Seeker and Lynd channeled massive energy and began to charge their power to fuel their attack.

Together, the two could mold time and space.

The energy of Seeker and Lynd continued to work together as they tried their best to maintain the form.

The attack was slowly creating a crushing attack, and Shakstress felt her large form being drawn into the attack she sent out.

The space around Shakstress was collapsing, and it was as if a strange black hole was being created.

Shakstress was still able to think and move despite how time had stopped. However, she dispersed the energy and shrunk herself as her larger size was creating instability in the world.

The moment she shrunk, the collapsing of the dimensional space they were in stopped.

Seeker and Lynd maintained their link and used their combined efforts to regenerate the massive energy they consumed.

The same thing happened to Shakstress. While her suit can create energy, her suit can only contain s much energy. And generating Universe Energy was a long and time-consuming process.

She had wasted a lot and had no choice but to use conventional energy and save the Universe energy for attacks that would kill them.

The two sides began to charge and gather energy.

"So this is the new era of Presiders? In this timeline, it is still possible for that two energy formations to be in one body. Mid-Tiers of my era either create a different device that will constantly refuel the suit of energy or create an internal power plant that empowers the body and generates the energy. Us Top-Tiers would have the ability to add another power source. Depending on what the Presider selected on their Mid-Tier rank, the other option is selected upon reaching Top-Tier. But I guess in your time and in the ideology of your era, you have to split the energy. How pathetic." Shakstress ranted.

Seeker and Lynd were silent.

"Wow. That monologue of hers just gave us a lot of info." Seeker sent telepathically.

"I know, right? So it seems we know the gap between Mid-Tiers and Top Tiers."

"This is an alternative since Nefilus suits are not possible. But this timeline is already changed. The secret of Phallium suits and Phallic techs are already here." Seeker laughed.

Shakstress was silent and began to contemplate. She had heard rumors of this and recalled the strange events in the Caliphates.

"Some of your peers may be attempting to find a way to combine both. We know that that Kid with four horns has. It was him who gave us information about you. That snake will betray us soon. You could still join us, you know? We will share our secrets. We will tell you everything about the Phallic tech and all those things that we shared to Principal Lanterk."

Shakstress was so frustrated. She set a certain protocol in her suit. It had been so long that a linger of fear was in her heart and so she prepared to get back at Lanterk in case this battle will cost her too much than she can afford.

"Lanterk will have his day.... For now, I will Conquer. I'll fix this timeline by killing you!"
