Chapter 111: The Tyrant and the Thunder

At the outskirts of Meng's military compound, a strange floating seat that looked like a throne was moving at incredible speed. This seat was one of the most powerful weapons of the World Governing Powers. It was made of Prime Al Metal and held several of the secret technologies of various nations.

Being the judge and arbiter to ensure that the World would not fall into another catastrophic event, the World Governing Powers had access to all technologies that the nations had. If ever a nation would act unruly, it would then meet the wrath of the World Governing Powers and a full display of technology would be shown.

Since the end of World War Three, the WGP had been the rulers and guardians of mankind. They were to ensure that no matter how heated or dangerous the relationships of the two countries would become, they would be there to ensure that no nation would ever be wiped out of existence.

And so, the richest and most powerful force on Earth does not belong to a country, but a large organization that ruled over everyone.

The small seat that was hovering towards Meng's base was one of the most powerful weapons that the World Governing Powers had. Though the World Governing Powers had yet to reveal its full might in war, it is said, that ten of these seats could wipe out an entire fleet of Jet-Powered Exoskeletons.

Seated on this seat, was Quera Sapphire. She was covered with a thick metal armor known as the Iron Maiden armor. It was an armor derived from one of the World Governing Powers' special suit. This suit was designed to be worn by women and it was created to complement and maximize their control over the seat which was called the Rule.

The Rule moved forward and a strange electromagnetic net-like energy pulled a strange figure along with it.

The figure was Pridgeon who attempted to escape.

Quera smiled as she felt it… She knew someone was approaching. The sensations of her body grew hot with lust as she could feel his presence.

"Ah!" She moaned excitedly.

"Just the mere memories of that day makes me wet! Are you back for more, my beloved Richie?" She smiled as the Iron Maiden opened up and revealed her seductive figure inside. She wore a blue synthetic tight clothing and a golden coated helmet which covered her entire face.

Richie was standing on mid-air. A powerful force kept erupting out from him. Learning the power of the Empress from Seeker, Richie already had his preparations to protect him from the allure of the Empress.

"I told you before, that one day, I will kill you!" Richie glared angrily.

The power of his voice reverberated around him.

"Oh? Looks like you're wounded. Did that bad boy Meng give you some trouble?" She teased.

"Looks like I've hit the jackpot. With all of you boys around, I could easily take over this world! Come and join me! You will rule next to me and experience the greatest pleasures and ecstasy imaginable!"

Richie shivered uncontrollably.

Seeker had warned him to protect himself with a layer of sound that would keep him protected from the pheromones released by the Empress.

But even without it, the mere memories of that day caused Richie to have an unexplainable longing.

The allure and temptation were so intense that it almost drove Richie mad with pleasure.

At that moment, Richie understood the power which triggered such dangerous emotions.

"HA!" Richie shouted back.

A powerful shockwave, stronger and bigger than a Pangean Whiplash bomb exploded out.

"Your sound… it's strange. It looks like you have the same power as me… But different. Such scary power."

"What's scary is that you've managed to suppress those urges... Am I really not enough?" The Empress laugh.

"Please. I've met your counter. I've heard Eagle preach on lust." Richie shouted back as a shockwave rocked the Rule that the Empress sat on.

"Ahh… So you've become one of those weirdos? My my… That is truly a formidable religion. Your faith is very commendable. I've made faithful men turn insane with those words and here you are unaffected by it." She smiled.

"And here I thought that the mere sight of my delicious curves would have been enough to steal you. Oh well. I'm still confident that I wouldn't even need to show you my face. You've might have become stronger but I have to Richie. You're not worthy of seeing my face." The Empress gave a confident laugh.

"We'll see about that. The Great I Am Himself is the source of my Voice. I can make a mountain move, much less a whore like you!"

"This makes it all the more pleasurable to conquer you!" The Empress suddenly laughed as she sat down on the Rule and it suddenly moved forward.

Hundreds of small metallic cubes were sent out from the Rule. The cubes were charged with strange electricity and it circled around and the enveloped everything around the Rule.

The cubes suddenly started to rotate around the Rule at an extremely fast speed. The Rule could barely be seen from the outside as the metal cubes became a shield that protected the Rule.

Suddenly, some of the cubes shot at Richie at an extremely fast speed. Richie evaded the attacks easily as it was shot out. The cubes that were sent out would then shoot back towards the Rule at the same speed.

"Enigmatic Magnetic Pulse technology… Rail Technology… American Miscellaneous technology and even Lightning Rod technology. How greedy."

Hundreds of cubes shot back and forth and Richie started circling the Rule to evade every attack. Just when the attacks had blocked Richie's escape, Richie roared.

"But that's not enough to Overcome me. WATER WORLD!"

A strange shockwave caused the air itself to be heavier. The fast movements of the cubes were hindered and Richie made his escape as he moved at the same speed.

The remaining cubes that weren't launched out gathered together and made a shield in front of the Empress.

Richie courageously dashed towards it.

"I couldn't use this against Meng because his desolations could destroy it. Luckily, you don't have that capacity." Richie smirked as he revealed a small handle that extended out forming a glass diamond sword similar to the one's Seeker and Meryl had.

"The Word of God is sharper than a double-edged sword." Richie laughed as he recited.

Richie finally made the offensive and gave a powerful slash even though he was 20 meters away from the Empress.

A powerful swishing sound was heard but it was strong and caused the Earth to quake as if the swishing sound was thunder.

Suddenly, the cubes that formed a shield suddenly split in half as a large gap was revealed. The molecules of everything within the direction of the slash suddenly were repelled creating the gap.

The Empress was using her thick armor to block the attack as she raised her two hands.

The Iron Maiden created a strange shield that Richie could identify as barrier technology.

Even then, the Empress couldn't understand what happened. The force was so strong that it could actually repel the metal cubes which were controlled by several Technological possibilities.

Richie immediately rushed in.

"Die for me!" Richie roared. As he rushed forward preparing to slash the Empress once more.

Meanwhile, Seeker and Lennox finally met up with Arthur's group and the Dragon's Fang. Using the emergency ping that Richie had, Arthur's team and the rest of the Dragon's Fang started to move towards the entrance where they all met once more.

Richie had given them several orders to gather and wait for Seeker when he zoomed out to fight the Empress.

"Everyone except Meryl and Lynd must escape. We'll be headed to fight the Tyrant Empress." Seeker immediately ordered without wasting time.

Lennox immediately emitted lightning sparks which started devouring the energies stored in Lander and Alean's backpack.

"Lowengren and I can help." Arthur countered. Seeker knew that Arthur wouldn't say this recklessly and nodded.

"Are you sure? You've taken quite a beating."

"I reached Inhuman in that fight. I used the electrical bolt that my father attacked me with and turned it into energy. I'm at 80% of my peak." Arthur answered back.

Seeker frowned and gazed at Lennox.

"I told him that theory when I attacked him. He is my son. My electrical charges should be compatible with him since he has my DNA." Lennox simply nodded.

"Alright. Then everyone else must other than these four must retreat."

"I can still fight." Typical frowned.

"No. You'd be more of a hindrance in this battle."

"You seem to underestimate my skills." Typical spoke as a murderous intent filled the air.

"No. He actually values it. The problem with fighting the Tyrant Empress is that your skills are too dangerous." Arthur interrupted.

"How can it be a problem?" Typical frowned.

"Just follow my orders. Meng went back inside to get another of his suit. I have his Seal right here." Seeker then revealed a golden seal with an image of a dragon.

A strange painful feeling could be felt as they looked at the seal.

The Dragon Fang all bowed at the sight of the seal.

"We obey, Master's directions."

Lennox had started to slowly turn into an electric charge.

"Let's go, Lennox. Arthur, follow the sounds of the battle. Lennox and I will move ahead." Seeker ordered.

BOOM!

An explosion resounded in the far of a distance. The silence of the surrounding made this loud explosion so apparent.

"Richie. You got to endure." Seeker frowned as he turned towards the direction of the explosion.

The cause of the explosion was a thunderous and powerful shout that Richie made. The force of sound gathering and being sent out was so powerful that visible shockwave could be seen attacking and rocking the Rule.

The Rule used the cubes to create a shield with Barrier technology to shield itself from the powerful shockwave.

Though it endured at first, slowly, a strange vibrating attack allowed this shockwave to drill its way destroying several cubes.

The Rule continued to be pushed back as layers of its defense crumbled.

Richie could no longer maintain and his powerful shout gave the last crescendo before becoming silent.

The crescendo of Richie's shout drilled its way towards the barrier shield and the metallic cubes.

The Empress made the remaining cubes create an explosion using African Solar technology creating an explosion right in the middle of the approaching shockwave.

BOOM!

Another powerful explosion rocked the area. The Rule was sent flying further backward crashing on to the nearby buildings.

"That was pretty manly." The Empress smiled as the dust fell. The Golden mask she wore had a large crack showing most of her face. The Iron Maiden suit was severely damaged from the explosion and the remnant vibrating force which managed to reach it. The Armor slowly opened up revealing the seductive figure of the Empress. The armor was now useless. Despite being unprotected, the Empress stood confidently as ever.

"I never expected you could easily damage the Rule like this…" She glanced at the remaining metallic cubes and sigh. Each cube was extremely expensive.

"Too bad though. I was hoping that the next time I do it with you, it would be just as exciting as the first. Oh well. I've never made out with an amputee before so I guess there's some excitement in that." She laughed devilishly.

Richie managed to use his voice in creating a force that allowed him to stand in mid-air but his appearance now was extremely pitiful. He no longer had any arms.

Backtracking to the last moment of Richie's sword attack, the Empress chuckled and caused the helmet to revealed her face.

She then gave a seductive glance and whispered, "No, you die for me."

Richie's hands suddenly changed the way it held the sword and his hands proceeded to pierce his abdomen in a quick suicidal attack.

But right before he could pierce himself, Richie then gave his most powerful shout, concentrating the force of the Walls of Jericho and threw it all out like a cannon blast.

The force of the explosion was right in between his two arms and his shout immediately amputated it.

This shout continued to force its way and attacking the Tyrant Empress which destroyed the cube defenses of the Rule and destroyed the Iron Maiden armor of the Empress.

Blood continued to ooze down the remains of Richie's two arms. It was a wretched sight. It was as if his hands were yanked off. Blood, bone, and muscles could be seen at the stomp of Richie's former hands.

Richie continued to gasp heavily. His face was pale and he finally allowed the force that kept him floating to disappear.

He fell down and almost stumbled but managed to remain standing.

"I know your powers…" Richie began.

"Having these two arms are too dangerous. If your hand causes you to sin, pluck it off." Richie laughed heavily.

"At least I've completed my mission." Richie then smiled.

"Mission?" The Empress frowned.

"To get you to show your face." A voice spoke from afar.

The Tyrant Empress was surprised and looked around to trying to find the source of the voice.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning arced from the skies. Seeker held the sword and guided with the lightning force of Lennox, he slashed at the unprepared Empress.

BOOM!
