Chapter 254: Lioncourt Diviner

His name is Lioncourt Diviner. He sat down and glanced at the city and could feel the many movements occurring around him.

The sensations and the whispers he could hear were so outstanding that he even knew the deepest secrets of this city saved for the conversations occurring on several underground facilities where even the vibrations could not reach too.

But despite the shocking amount of soldiers that were being deployed, his senses focused on the Eastern side of the city. He could feel an unimaginable ominous presence approaching.

"Progenitor… I wonder if that's your seeds or the enemy." He sighed.

Surrounding him were several dead men. These were among the top officers of the military. The room itself is the command center for the city. Near the crazy man with messy hair and long beard was a General regarded as the equal to the fallen General Garland, who died fighting the Pangean infiltrators.

"General. It seems that our enemy is drawing closer. I hope that you would now be more generous in agreeing to sending your soldiers outside the city. I am doing this for your benefit. Someone is going to attack this city. You didn't listen to my many warnings, but I hope now that some of you commanders are dead, you'd listen to me now."

"You're insane!" The General shouted.

The rest couldn't talk. It was as if the surrounding soldiers were being choked by something invisible. Everyone was gasping for their necks, trying to escape the choking force.

"I find you're lack of faith disturbing. I suggest you listen to me, General. I don't want to kill any more commanders or soldiers in this room!" The man glared.

"Lioncourt! What are you trying to do?! We've been friends for years! Think about what you are doing! The WGP will be attacking soon! Are you one of them?!"

"No, I'm not one of them! I keep telling you that an army is approaching us! This Lost Primordial or that enemy of his has infiltrated our ranks so much that they had an army hidden among your army! And I am telling you this because we are friends, Chester. If you ignore my warning, this city will die. I can't save everyone! While killing an army is easy, saving a city is not! About a thousand soldiers are moving as we speak!"

"Impossible! A thousand soldiers? How can they send a thousand soldiers this deep in the city! Our eyes have been all over the skies and seas, and we are confident that the WGP has yet to send any force, big or small, to infiltrate and reach the mainland. All our bases and military personnel have been working hard to prevent that!"

"Think outside the box for a second. You've known me for many years, yet you couldn't even detect the technology that I wield. The longer we talk, the more of your men will die! Did you think the battles you've won were achieved were because of your strength and wisdom? Face it, most of it is due to lucky occurrences! I've been helping you out a lot to make my little home peaceful. Haven't you seen the reports? Pilots and even captains dying without any outside wounds?" Lioncourt laughed.

"How-How did you-?"

"What did you think I just did to your beloved Commanders? I have been killing your enemies from afar! Who did you think opened that gate in the aircraft carrier you were trying to blow up? Several key enemy captains and commanders dying by a heart attack? What did you think caused their heart attack! They did not die of a disease. I murdered them! I helped you make this city and this country great because I wanted to be hidden from the Underworld's turmoil and the wars that happen! This is the very same reason why I am here! Don't test my patience, Chester."

General Chester was startled at the sudden things that Lioncourt revealed. In truth, he had seen the reports of these. Many enemies didn't die from any attack but from some mysterious diseases. The ones that Lioncourt mentioned were key factors of why he won and got his current decorated position. General Chester hesitated. He looked at the fallen Commanders and realized that Lioncourt was right.

"Fine! I'll listen! But stop whatever it is you're doing to my men!"

At that exact moment, the soldiers around the room finally could breathe and be no longer choking.

"Done. Execute those orders now!"

The soldiers were all recovering and gasping for breaths.

"You heard the man. Go on and make those orders."

Lioncourt had already given a series of orders when he got into the room. The soldiers were now acting on executing the many instructions given to them.

"You better be right, Lioncourt! That Lost Primordial better be attacking! This entire branch will be treated as traitors!"

"The attack should occur at any time now. When that attack occurs, you can immediately declare that several of your Commanders were in league with the traitors, and a battle broke out because you discovered it and led to this event where they killed each other." Lioncourt explained. A mug suddenly levitated towards him. Coffee had been brewed.

The General turned to look and was shocked to see several other things levitating towards their proper position. The soldiers gasped in shock.

"Ugh. I can't believe that they're attacking so early. I hadn't even had my morning coffee. I ended up killing your Commanders because of it!" Lioncourt sighed.

"You killed my Commanders because you haven't had coffee?"

"They were pointing guns at me and calling me an old man! It's been a bad day. I'm sorry I lost my cool."

"You don't say sorry after killing several of my Commanders!" The General was trying to control his emotions for fear of being killed, but he couldn't help but snap at Lioncourt's comments.

"Let's just hope that whoever's planning to attack your city has had their morning coffee. The feeling I get for the enemy coming here is that he or she may have killed more people for pettier reasons." Lioncourt then began to relay the actions.

Nearly thirty kilometers outside of the city, Seeker continued to observe the metropolis from a nearby mountain.

"Sir. The armies have been delayed and are assuming a position directly opposing our formation." Matthew of the Twelve reported.

"As I thought they would. The Realm King awaits. This man is amazing. In his peak, he stopped an Orbital that is as big as the moon from escaping. And that was while he was sustaining heavy attacks. He should be weak, but given his cautious nature, he must have created several comm relays around the city that enhances his detection abilities."

"How great is his detection, General?"

"I am assuming that as long as you are within the vicinity of the city or even at the outskirts of it, you will be detected. If he created several comm relays to enhance his sensing, then that should be possible."

"General, did you intend for Git Godlike to die? Why did you send them inside as spies?"

"No. I sent them in first to protect them." Seeker smiled.

"To protect them?"

"Yes. Right now, the Realm King doesn't know that I know what he's capable of. In fact, I know more about his powers than he himself does. So when Git Godlike attacks, he will do everything but reveal his powers. He will use it to make surprise attacks at our forces at the right time. His attacks will be made in secret and will be hidden in the chaos of war. So with Git Godlike attacking first with only six Exoskeletons, the Realm King won't attack or kill them since it will be very noticeable to do so. He will think that whoever sent those six will have their eyes on them. Anything suspicious or out of the ordinary would be noticed immediately."

"But what if these six cause great damage? Such damage that your Master cannot tolerate?"

"You probably weren't a gamer and probably only know of their battle styles in the recent battle in Australia. But the reason why Git Godlike precisely won over Arthur was because of their skill in playing possum."

"We noticed that on the several times they defended Australia. They would appear to be losing and would make critical counter-attacks on the most unexpected moments."

"Exactly. But I think you haven't seen their full potential. In the E-sports world, their abilities were almost legendary. The defeat of the Covenant of the Strongest was precise because of that. Arthur won the longest one-on-one battle against Cronus because of the limitations in trying to play possum in that scenario. But in a team battle, Git Godlike reigned supreme in that now-legendary battle. But even after their debut, they continued to recreate that tricky play. Game after game did the world see how they would lure the enemy into thinking they've won. And again and again, they were able to pull it off and snatch victory."

"And they will do that to the Realm King?"

"Yes. The one thing that my Master was not interested in was video games. He kept teasing me on the other world to be a game addict and always were against my plans of employing gamers into the battlefield. Right now, if I survive this battle, I'm going to rub it in his face!" Seeker laughed.

"Send Git Godlike in. And assume your positions. Get ready to support Git Godlike anytime." Seeker relayed his orders.

"Yes, Sir." Matthew immediately moved.

"And now… Something to distract my Master." Seeker smiled.

Seeker has finally acquired several foundational paths from various Near Overcomers. It was here that the laws of physics were bypassed.

The melding of the Realm Kings Telekinesis' ability and the Void assassins means to traverse the Dimensions allowed Seeker to move and physically walk through various elements and unknown and undiscovered mathematical forces that lie on the fourth dimension.

It was a simple ability that the Realm King, Richie, Lennox, and Eagle had in Seeker's future.

The ability of Flight. As Seeker flew, the surrounding soldiers were stunned, and even the Twelve Disciples marveled.

"Anti Gravity… But why is this different than Eagles? Eagle can change gravity, but I can use it as a foothold…" Seeker assessed as he finally used his powers.

The flight steadily grew faster and faster. But it was still slow in Seeker's eyes. Even drones have faster speed than him.

When Seeker reached nearly four hundred meters, he stopped. As he was already on top of a mountain, the height he ascended allowed him a clearer view of the city.

Several Balls of Thunder and a Lightning Cube appeared on Seeker's palm.

He crushed it all and compressed the energies into a ball. In the past days, Seeker had been trying to use telekinesis to combine the two attacks and create a different attack. His inspiration was the very same technique that his Master was known to use back then.

The utilization of present energy, be it fire, nuclear, lasers, or even lightning, the Realm King would use his telekinesis to create a route for the energy by reshaping the explosions' path and direction.

While Seeker could not do the same, he harnessed the powerful energy and compressed the explosive attacks of Richie's sounds and the almost sentient lightning.

The entire energy compressed into a small ball with a very wild flickering light inside.

Seeker compressed the energy and was starting to grow pale. Seeker's skin color also grew lighter, and his hairs were starting to turn white.

"The first attack that is truly mine and not a copy of anything." Seeker smiled as he observed his creation.

Flashes of Lightning and Peals of Thunder was wrapped around and compressed in an invisible force.

"An orb that contains the lightning and thunder that appears at the voice of the Lord. This beats your Holy Hand Grenade, Master." Seeker sneered.

"Sovereign's Orb." Seeker whispered as several crackles of lightning could be seen emerging out of the orb as Seeker reached back his arms in preparation to throw it. Following a professional baseball player's throwing style, Seeker hurled the ball, which continued to create crackles of lightning as it zoomed at an astonishing speed.

Seeker immediately began to fall down from the sky as he was trying to recover from the massive losses of energy.

Back in the city, the Realm King immediately stood up as he could sense strange energy.

"Tell the north-eastern troop to retreat immediately!"

"What?" The General was confused.

But it was already too late. The speed of the small orb was so fast that it had already reached the city entrance.

BOOM!

A terrifying shockwave exploded out, and bolts of lightning surged out like millions of snakes and began to create a chain of attacks as it moved outwards from the explosion.

Lioncourt immediately created a powerful telekinetic shield that tried to contain the explosion, but the expanding force of the sound and the strange movements of the lightning continued to move outwardly.

Lioncourt's expressions grew solemn.

"He's this powerful after all..."

"LOST PRIMORDIAL! THIS IS OUR REVENGE! WE WILL PAY YOU BACK FOR OUR DEFEAT!" An angry voice resounded throughout the city as the explosion occurred. Seeker compressed the sounds of those words inside the Sovereign Orb."

The sudden sound caused Lioncourt to lose concentration, and the shield that he created was destroyed.

Lioncourt stumbled back as his shields failed and immediately used his power to stop the General from reaching for his gun. The soldiers in the room were also blasted away from reaching their weapons.

"I am not the Lost Primordial! It's a trick!" Lioncourt shouted as he tried to calm the soldiers.
