The whole world was trying to get in on the action that happened on the Kraken. A successful attack on the Kraken was a terrifying concept. The WGP were like the gods of the world, and yet, a weapon that could produce as much damage as a weapon of mass destruction occurred in the Kraken.
The world tried to take advantage of it, but most aircraft that tried to interfere were all blown down.
The only few groups that managed to enter and set foot on the Kraken were the elites. And even then, they all gained nothing.
The Emperors acted and revealed powers that could easily destroy and prevent weapons of mass destruction from taking effect.
Those who were there were shocked at the potential of the Kraken. They couldn't even believe what it would be against the more massive bases such as the World's Helm. If the Kraken could already make such attacks, what would the World's Helm be like?
Yet while many were amazed, a certain person found all of the Kraken's ability, trivial at best.
Minutes before the call, Crostfree continued to report the details of the battle. He was practically invisible, and it was almost impossible to detect him with most technology. The area around him was very distorted. He was standing there but was also not there.
The bending of space happened, and he was situated in a world beyond the three dimensions. He stood as a third-dimensional being, transported into the fourth.
"It seems that there is a mysterious organization that is challenging the WGP. It's a mixture of Rebels and some other groups that seem to have a great foundation on Earth. We underestimated Earth. It seems there is more to their sciences than we expected. I'll be frank. There are several technologies here that are foundational Presider level sciences. They didn't have this before."
"Then it may simply be the Fight of Life. The terrors that the Pioneers we sent before left them in very dire circumstances. The former Presiders who ended their shift here all gave us detailed information."
"I don't think it's enough. They have techs that are very suspicious. I don't think that the former Presiders who went home managed to investigate whatever happened here."
"You're saying the Fight of Life couldn't have allowed them to develop this?" A Presider asked.
"Fight of Life?" A young boy's voice was heard inquiring.
"Fight of Life is the theory that we believed made way for the WGP to gain this technology. Simply put, Earth's humans during the Post-war era were so harsh that it forced them to adapt. We know how our ingenuity has given birth to critical sciences. Even the tales of how our Principals fought and won against the Babelian armies have grown and perfected greater techs because of the immense pressure. Several skirmishes between the infighting of Principals and Presiders have also allowed this. This is why whenever a Presider or a Principal goes to war against another of their level. They will wipe the enemy out. Even Principals dare not look down on Presiders and would kill them if any two parties reach an unresolvable situation."
"Please educate the young Presider on your time, Garenjazz. Right now, I need to make a serious report. As you can-"
Immediately, Crostfree forcibly disconnected his connection towards the moon. He used a peculiar science that allowed himself to directly create a link by sending their messages beyond the fourth dimension. This required a lot of energy that could shock a nation for its expenses. But for the Presiders, this was nothing.
"Finally. A reason to disconnect." Crostfree smirked. He saw how the powers of the Invoking drew great energy and created a powerful blast. The Titan just used a powerful electric shockwave that managed to reach his suit.
But while the strange gear he wore could resist it, he simply allowed the energy to reach him. When the electrical energy arrived, he made the disconnection.
"Pridgeon. They should be contacting you now. You know what to do." Crostfree laughed.
Pridgeon received several messages from the
"Pridgeon! Did you disconnect as well?"
"Of course! I performed it just as you stated. I lost connection a few milliseconds after you lost your connection. What happened over there?"
"Where are you anyway? You should be here by now!"
"Pangea has launched several large metal pikes that are headed towards your direction. I had to move slowly to avoid being detected! Otherwise, I would face the wrath of that nation!"
"You're so weak. You don't even have a decent suit that can fly faster?" Crostfree laughed.
"I can't risk getting detected! If I fight back, it will make this nation aware of another.
"The enemies are ripe for the taking! If you don't get here, you won't get a single one of these things! I was planning on giving you a portion of this science. But now you lost it. It's quite impressive. It should have exceeded the foundational science of Living Lightning!"
"Living Lightning! Presider Marrho's techs?!"
"Yes. Presider Marrho. The Bolt of Heaven. Electricity merged with magnetism. It controls and commands metals allowing the quick movement of large superstructures. Superstructures. As you know, Presider Marrho's the closest one in becoming a Principal among us Presiders. You could acquire their foundations!" Crostfree laughed.
"But, you're too slow!"
"How do you expect me to escape being noticed by an army! The Pangea has gathered an entire army that is bound to be launched anytime! I can't just zoom by and escape their notice!"
"What are those Pangeans waiting for? I noticed them back then, but they haven't launched. Are they trying to sweep in once this battle is over to take over the Kraken?" Crostfree pondered.
The battle continued between in the Kraken, and soon the second Invoking occurred.
As this Invoking occurred, Crostfree trembled in shock.
"How?! Impossible! They have made this entire region full of dormant Origin! This is impossible! To make such an amount, they needed to have had this technology after the war!" Crostfree cursed.
He disconnected too soon! But luckily, the most basic information he needed to send he already did.
Crostfree intended to send those strange signals to cut off his connection and then destroy the Kraken and absorb the Domain but the powers that the WGP presented surpassed his previous estimates.
"It's impossible! The Fight of Life couldn't have made this possible?! What's going on? How did they acquire and learn to produce it!" Crostfree couldn't understand it. He decided to keep this information from Pridgeon.
"Even Pridgeon would be suspicious of this! If he learns that the WGP has such advanced technology that has surpassed the limits of Domain foundation science, he will betray me!" Crostfree began to think.
"Pridgeon is unaware and couldn't understand this. I'll just tell him that this is still foundational. After all, only I have seen the full potential of Domain tech."
The Call of Poseidon merged the energy that gave sentience to water. If applied to war, this would have been dangerous. Water, after all, was not easily destroyed. But this water had water properties that allow it to flow and move between the smallest gaps. It had kinetic energy in it. Crostfree's was now having trouble suppressing his greed as he saw the technology before him.
"I must remain calm. If I show any forms of recklessness, Pridgeon would be suspicious!"
It was then that he saw the battle between the Empress and Seeker.
A strange force allowed Seeker to move.
"Impossible! Is that telekinesis?! How did these monkeys acquire such techs!" Crostfree was further astounded. The previous techs that he saw were all basic techs. Even the sight of Typical and Richie's technology, they were easily achieved through various means.
But domain techs of all its form were the more expensive technology. The strongest Presiders in their Ladder of Ascent all had Domain science.
"Where is that damn, Pridgeon?!" Crostfree was cursing. He couldn't wait to acquire these techs.
"Pangea has launched an armada! It's like their sending their full army! It wasn't just a few rockets but a whole army! It will be challenging for me to get there!" Pridgeon suddenly exclaimed.
"What? An army?!" Crostfree was startled. If Pangea had sent a small group which he could immediately wipe out, it would have been easy to hide. But to send an army would be difficult even for him.
"Pridgeon! Delay them! We can't destroy the Pangean army just like that! If we can't destroy them, we can't steal all these techs! I'll go ahead and destroy these enemies and give you the techs! If you can't agree, we can't get even one tech!" Crostfree lashed out.
"...Fine! You better keep your word!" Pridgeon immediately disconnected.
"Good!" Crostfree laughed.
He then used his techs to see the place where the Pangean fleet could be seen. Pridgeon's Judge's Decree could be seen flying and harassing the entire fleet. Pridgeon did not use his more dangerous techs but kept it minimal.
Nevertheless, this battle seemed to have delayed the fleet's movements as they became warry of potential attackers.
BOOM!
The sudden explosion almost caught Crostfree off guard. He was so absorbed by looking at the battle that he did not see the changes on the battle below him.
His suit appeared and enclosed his entire body to protect him from the blast.
On the earlier battles, Corstfree never wore his suit despite being invisible but wore a strange and very eccentric attire that looked like the characters of the famous book that he was reading. But now, a white and almost rubbery suit appeared and covered his entire body, and only his eyes that gave an odd yellowing glow could be seen.
He glanced at the battle below, and this time he was petrified.
"Impossible!" The scene of a large squid-like monster with the Kraken and the Titan in the middle shocked him.
"Domain Suppression! Domain Control! Domain Sentience!" Crostfree listed all these techs that he identified as Realm.
"Did the previous Presiders betray us?!" He was startled. It was the only conclusion that he could make.
"Regardless! I must take these techs!" Crostfree began his preparations. Space began to slowly decompress as he readied to shoot at the two opposing forces.
Crostfree waited for the two to attack each other. Recklessly attacking them could destroy them and irradicate any hopes of acquiring whatever technology these two had.
Crostfree waited for the right moment. He slowly appeared on the space before him but had stealth that surpassed this planet. He was not worried.
He saw the wide swing and how the two challengers bravely faced the large water club.
The Empress looked and immediately knew that this was the moment.
She was the one who was in control. The Emperor's Titan and the Kraken all gave their support to the Empress.
And this was the moment to initiate the plan that Seeker proposed.
The purpose of the Invoking was to attack the Presider.
Seeker had revealed that the enemy of the Progenitor was watching. Seeker urged to Empress to send even just one attack. The enemy's response would prove whether Seeker indeed was who he claimed to be. Also, through this, the Empress would finally know, if the enemy that Seeker mentioned is the enemy of the Progenitor.
As for determining it's precise location, Richie had long found Crostfree's location. While the person was cloaked, his conversations' sounds were heard as the sound had to pass through the three dimensions. With this, Richie heard the conversations and gave Seeker and the Empress the precise place where he heard Corstfree's words.
As the club approached the two rushing forces, a blinding flash erupted out.
It was so strong that it was as if a miniature sun was born right above the sea.
It was one of the aces that Meng brought with him. By combining Pangean Everbright tech and improving it with Meryl's Path, they were able to develop a flash bang that surpassed all techs of Earth.
The Empress already expected this. She had already directed the attack by inputting the exact coordinates.
Using her precise control, the Empress allowed Seeker and Meng to disappear into the club.
The sudden flash startled Crostfree. This was a flashbang that had surpassed his expectations.
His suit detected approaching energy, and an evasive procedure was done. The suit was about to send Crostfree to another dimension to evade the attacks.
But at that moment...
BOOM!
A powerful explosion occurred right behind him and threw him forward.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Up in the skies higher than where Crostfree was, was a ship known as the Void traveler.
Everyone inside the craft was scared stiff at the crazy attack that the man with them did.
The attack was powerful. Upon firing it, the Void Traveler detected an intensely powerful kinetic force that would have destroyed their ship.
Richie gave his last attack and stumbled back, immediately fainting. Sammy caught Richie.
"Shut the door! I can't hold it for too long!" Sammy shouted as his sound prevented the air pressure from coming in.
The door was immediately closed.
The Commander's eyes were locked on where the attack was sent.
"Sir! As that man said, there was someone there!" The pilot reported to the Commander.
The Commander gazed silently at the strange attack and gulped.
The Void Traveler was nearly destroyed when the Titan gave off its powerful attack. But for some strange reason, the energy was unable to damage the Void Traveler, although many would assume that the Void traveler was hit. Something stopped the Titan's attack. And now, they saw this power up close.
"What was that?" The vampire asked Sammy but couldn't help but give a worried gaze to the unconscious Richie.
"Sound bomb. It's one of his recent attacks. He was asked to master this attack because their team may need an undetectable attack that could be launched without alerting attack scanners that are ten times more powerful than what the WGP has. And this is his answer. He creates vibrations through a silent supersonic sound wave that, upon detonation, creates a massive vibration and shockwave that could blow up even Almetal hybrids."
"His sound is amazing. I detect the same form of wariness from you..."
"I know. But it's like a child wielding a knife while to him it's like a god wielding lightning." Sammy laughed without taking offense.
The explosion series pushed the unguarded Presider out of the zone he was in, and his suit was struggling to keep up.
And as these attacks were occurring, the figure of the large water monster below had already changed.
Upon igniting the bright light, the Empress carried out the plan. After confirming the coordinates of the explosions, she then launched the deadliest attack on her arsenal.
"Empress! That attack!" The Emperor was stunned and tried to stop her.
"Obey my commands! A monster far powerful than the ones we face here is above! Send me all your lighting! We will combine our attacks in this one!"
The elements that could create a hydrogen bomb gathered, and now, the Emperor sent his own attack. Two attacks that could be classified just a tier below the level of weapons of mass destruction were sent out.
And it all raced towards Crostfree.
