Chapter 219: The Kraken Command Center

The battles around the Kraken was getting more and more chaotic. The soldiers were no longer moving out of the Kraken. Still, all focused on fighting to defend the possible entry points.

The Kraken was likened to a closed shell. It had no open doors to lead it inwards but only had small ports to launch the Armors and Exoskeletons or even the soldiers to battle. But apart from that, the exits and entry points in that area were very few. Unless the person knew where these opening were, the person would spend a lot of time looking for these specific hidden entry points.

When the Kraken battle was growing more and more chaotic, a group of seven had managed to bypass everything. They waited for the right moment to enter. When more explosions occurred, they finally took action. They could walk on water as they also had a suit that provided the ability. With their ninja reflexes, they were able to move swiftly. When they reached the Kraken's edge, the leader finally showcased a talent that would have shocked the world.

The background of the leader of this six was slightly bizarre. They were among the few groups that still held on somewhat superstitious beliefs. The believed in ghosts, devils, and other haunting creatures. This was because the line of this family was somewhat unique. They were all born as people who could see things beyond what the eye could see.

They had, what most would call, the third eye. 

This family all grew up following a line with odd occupations until someone appeared to them. He called himself the Progenitor gave them great gifts. It was a technology beyond their understanding through that, they were able to create superhuman beings and trained in the way of the Ninja. This odd family vanished in history and would occasionally appear in the Underworld. Yet their actions were very discreet, and only a few have ever proven their existence.

The third eye was their foundation. Only one member of their family would have full access to this technology. As the years passed, their understanding and usage of the eye grew. 

His eyes could do an incredible thing. It could see through objects as if it had an X-Ray ability. Only the distance of where he could see would only be several meters from where he was. But for them, this was more than enough.

His eye guided him. All that was need to cross through the impossible barriers before him.

There was no way to go through the metal. They could not go over it, under it, or pass by its side. But there was a way to move around it. Only, one must be capable of moving beyond the three dimensions.

The entire team held each other and prepared to run. Although their current position did not allow them this luxury, they still did it anyway as if the wall in front of them was non-existent.

Their leader took a deep breath and looked past it. He took a step, and with the technologies imbued in his body, he crossed the three dimensions and went through a fourth one.

Teleportation.

This was impossible. If one could move in it, one would be unable to move out. To successfully move in it, the person has to have the capacity to see in the fourth and, at the same time, still see in the three dimensions. It was an impossible task. But his eyes could see.

The moment he stepped forward, the rest followed. They traveled through the fourth dimension with their leader guiding the way in and the way out. With the teleporting ability, they entered into the deeper chambers of the Kraken. It was the primary residential area of the Kraken. It was far deeper than where Danny and his team were able to enter.

With a high starting point, the seven used their advantage. Their leader could see through walls and could teleport. Their first task was to find a way to locate where the weapons were. And to that, they had to find a specific room that logged the movement of items. Initially, they thought that any computer would have been excellent. But as they accessed it, they realized that the entire ship had several physically separated networks that were inaccessible from each other. As they grew impatient, they even began to kill some of the members secretly. 

Yet they made sure that there were no cameras or any detecting devices on the people they killed. If there were, they used a specific drug to put some soldiers to sleep. It was then that the chaos escalated, and the group learned that there were reports of traitors. They took advantage of this cover and began to move daringly. 

Cameras and detectors were destroyed, and even some platoon were killed. The ninjas showcased their abilities in stealth and silence. With their leader teleporting from one area to the next, they could kill and leave without causing alarms on their location. Soon, they found what they were looking for. It was a computer that recorded the log records and logistics inside the Kraken. They found the location and headed towards it in haste.

The weapons that the WGP confiscated from New Great Britain were within the deeper chambers of the Kraken. The group continued to move further and further. It became reckless as they had learned that there were several attempts to break in.

It was then that the team found a chamber that stored a lot of MRE.

The leader of the group moved immediately and ripped open several of them and quickly devoured them.

"My Liege. Wouldn't a Lambas pill be better?"

"I need to conserve my energy. If that man... that... bastard is here, we will kill him this time!" The leader recalled the strange encounter he had with that liar, whom they thought was Lowengren. Even with his eyes, he was deceived. The torturous memories of Lowengren's faint surfaced. How was it that a teenager was able to deceive him, Rai the Void Assassin?

"There are no soldiers near here. Most will just pass by. But guard the door just in case. I will make quick work of these meals." The leader continued to eat. His expressions suddenly changed.

"What is that... monster?!" He cried in shock. Even his underlings were stunned at the shocked expression that their leader had.

He began to eat and drink faster. Channeling his control, he forced his digestive systems to work more quickly to create more energy. He then stopped eating and commanded his group to huddle up and resume their formation.

The oddities outside are getting stranger. Apart from Hermes, several others are here. Some of them stronger than me."

His subordinates were stunned. Even when comparing himself to Hermes, he never would state that Hermes was superior to him but an equal. Yet now, there were beings in the Kraken that could surpass him?

The group began to teleport. Unlike before, they would now teleport in sequence. Their leader was running, and they simply followed.

"Get ready to fight." He commanded.

While they were yet teleporting and moved in the fourth dimension, Rai expended more energy. They threw several shurikens that flew and destroyed the cameras right before they emerged in their teleportation. The moment they appeared on the destination that Rai teleported to, they began to attack.

The ninjas were trained to have a reaction speed that was three times the average human. As such, the group of soldiers that were guarding the area were killed within five seconds.

Rai moved towards the Exoskeleton and gave a simple thrust. His arms penetrated through steel and killed the pilot.

They immediately retreated without saying a word and ran towards another area. They ran straight as if there was no wall. Rai activated his teleportation ability that sent them to another room.

"Get ready to fight. We're moving faster. We have to get out of here. I am sensing a dangerous presence outside of the Kraken. His bloodlust is actually manifesting in my vision." Rai explained with a grave expression.

Their journey became faster and faster as they prepared to rush towards the indicated room.

Soon they reached a room with several large pieces of equipment.

"Find the seed of the Progenitor and erase whatever data is on it."

Rai immediately ordered.

The team immediately scrambled and moved to access several computers. At the same time, Rai started to tinker with several containers and tried to open it.

Under the chairs of several computers were small round balls that had a motion sensor. As the ninjas approached, it immediately exploded.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A loud sound bomb erupted and threw everyone in disarray. Even Rai was affected by the sudden sound waves that sent all of them flying around the room.

Nearby this location was one of the most guarded and secured rooms. The room was designed in a particular way that the vast majority didn't know how to enter it. It had a lot of doors, but if seen from the outside, it looked wholly sealed. This was because this room only had one-way in. But once inside, you could use several of the doors and open it from the inside. This was the heart of the Kraken. The very room where the Admirals and Commanders were.

The explosion and alert immediately caused panic to the soldiers inside it. 

"Calm down!" The commanders ordered their respective groups. None of the commanders even spoke, but everyone began to move as if they knew what to do.

The gear they wore was a specialized Exoskeleton that used the hardest of Almetals. They were a suit designed to be worn by the top elite of the WGP's army.

Four of the Commanders wore it the suit and opened one of the secret doors.

The thick walls parted until it revealed a grand opening in which the four Commanders stepped out of.

But a strange scene played out in front of them. A woman and a man were carrying another fainted man. They had come from the direction of where the explosions were reported.

"Commander! Traitors in the room G-16!" The woman cried.

Their appearances looked pitiful. The woman had a burnt face that had blood all over. The other man had several shot marks on his leg and shoulder. The last one had a wound at the chest, and it looked like his life was critical.

"Who attacked you? Why haven't you rushed to the medic bay?"

"We have an important report! Several traitors already tried to silence us! We could not afford to get treated!" The woman cried hysterically.

"It was the New Great Britain weapons! They were some trap! It contained-"

"Don't speak!" The Commander ordered as he looked around and noted the identification pings of some of the soldiers around them.

"Everyone here with soldier-grade weapons, follow me. It's time to kill some traitors. Everyone else, scatter and hide. This place will be a battle zone." One of the commanders ordered and led the surrounding soldiers who witnessed the scene could only follow. Many of those were working on different branches and didn't have weapons. They immediately cleared.

The first commander to whom the woman called out, took the wounded man from her arms and moved back towards the Command Center.

"Speak only inside." The Commander ordered.

The woman and the man followed the Commander's lead and went into the Command Center.

It was then that the man being carried started to speak. Strangely, only the Commander could hear him.

"Your girlfriends really protective of you. If you make any unnecessary movements, she could die. Did you know she's one of the Emperors that is fighting outside?" The calm voice of Sammy echoed on the ears of the Commander.

His expression immediately paled. But he dared not make any strange movements. He continued to act normally and moved to put the wounded man on a medical bay.

"Commanders. They have important information. I'll take care of this one. It would seem our spies have deeply infiltrated us. I don't trust anyone." The Commander said he personally placed the man near a medical facility and began to individually remove the man's shirt and use the devices to heal the wound.

Roselyn began to recount a terrifying tale. Stanley sat down and immediately fainted as if the last defense of his body finally gave way. While all that happened, Sammy continued his narration.

"We can kill your woman. But we won't. We are not here to kill her. But to recruit you. Chase Brander. Or do you prefer you're current name, Drake Lattlefield? Anyway, I represent my boss, who is currently above fighting a vampire. You remember him, right? The Assassin, Richie? I'm sure you have met him and fought him. He said you were the most resourceful and calm-headed man he met. To think you survived to fight him." Sammy continued.

Chase felt more fear. How did he know of his real name? Ever since the previous escape, he had managed to change his identity that even the World Governing Powers couldn't find out. His tracks were perfect. And considering the Blockchain security level, it was impossible to hack and change the information about his past. Yet it happened. But here was a man who knew who he really was. The fear had startled him so much that he forgot that Richie had 'died' in China.

"I'm offering you a simple choice. An enemy is coming, and the war they will bring will be unlike any other in our history. They are far stronger than our current team and the World Governing Powers. I am giving you a chance to be her shield just as she was yours. In fact, what we offer is a chance for you to stand alongside her. One of our spies is currently with your daughter. Yes. She is alive. You must have met her—the Admiral of the Atlantis that is nearby. Your Empress-girlfriend really liked you. Even though you didn't know, she even assigned your daughter somewhere close to you."

The man continued to tremble. If he wasn't wearing the Exoskeleton suit, everyone would have seen his staggering form.

Sammy then continued his monologue while Chase did his best to act generally in dressing the many bloodied wounds of Sammy.
