The moment Dune World was disabled, the sandstorm collapsed, and it revealed the scenery only after a few seconds. To prevent the sands from being blown off, a small magnetic pull immediately pulled the sandstorm to the ground, and it would only leave the dust, which was easier to see through.
With the bright lights all over the base, Commander Owens clearly saw that the dildos caused the WGP Exoskeletons to retreat.
The shocked shouts and the retreats of the WGP created a silence as the two groups were watching each other.
"What is that?!" Owens screamed at Maver.
"I…I…" Maver was confused. Why did the WGP retreat?
"It seems that the technology that the General gave is something that cannot be detected. But the WGP retreated because they must have detected it! It must be a powerful weapon!" Owens deduced.
"So it is a powerful weapon!" Maver exclaimed.
But secretly, he kept cursing at Arbiter Madelyne. The weapon's design was so obscene and disgusting that even he began to wonder why it was like that.
"What are you doing? Why didn't your men activate it?" Lowengren cursed at Maver.
"The dildo? How do I activate the dildo? You didn't tell me!"
"Press the button! It's a new form of Lightsaber. It is a powerful invisible laser! Through the secret techs of Pridgeon, that device contained a powerful undetectable sword strike! You lost the chance! All you did was point it to the sky like a bunch of perverted weirdos! Are you an idiot?! How did you get to that position?!"
"I…I…" Maver stuttered again but had no time to argue with Lowengren.
"What are you doing?! Press it! Activate the dildos!" Maver called to the Planted soldiers.
With the instructions given, the soldiers began to squeeze the dildos. But after seeing that squeezing the dildos gave no response, they began to touch the dildos on the certain 'places.'
Others were shaking it, and some even began to wave it in the air as if it were aircraft landing batons.
The actions stunned everyone watching.
"What are you making them do?!" Commander Owens shouted.
"I…I…" Maver didn't know what to say again. He didn't know how to use it, and Lowengren explained it so that it was supposed to be obvious.
"I'm trying to make them work it! It's the first time that the equipment was granted to us by the General! That is a secret weapon that even we didn't know how to use!" Maver explained.
"You don't know how to use it?!" Owens chastised angrily. This was plain stupidity. Using a tech that was never used is tantamount to suicide.
"I know how to use it." One of the ladies couldn't help but comment.
"Right?!" Her seatmate shouted and gave the girl a high-five. Owens was shocked at this.
"Maver! Act more seriously!"
"Planteds?! What's going on?"
"Sir, there is no button!" One of the Planted's reported.
"What's going on?! There's no button!" Maver contacted Lowengren.
"I'm on it! I'm on it! The report that I read stated that it works just like a lightsaber! But it seems that Arbiter Madelyne had to be masked so that it would seem dormant and not active to others! That's why turning it on is difficult. I'm busy reading the schematics! But it's the real deal! Why else did the WGP retreat?" Lowengren pointed out the facts that made Maver silent.
With an embarrassed expression, Maver began to relay what Lowengren said to Owens.
"So we have a powerful weapon that can cause the WGP to retreat, but we don't know how to use it?!" Owens cursed.
Meanwhile, the WGP Commanders and Magantae had their discussion when they saw what the soldiers were doing.
"What's going on? They have the dildos, but where is the cube?" A Commander asked.
"They must be hiding it! We have to look for it!"
"It's no use. If they are hiding it, then we can't detect it. We weren't even able to detect the powerful energy contained within that cube when we had it in front of our hands." Magantae reminded them.
"But these dildos were only channels! Admiral! They can't have immediately learned how to use it! Even we couldn't figure it out!"
"Not unless this was something that Intrik had known for. Remember, Intrik is the dual Fleet Admiral in charge here! New Great Britain falls into his area of responsibility! He might have known of Lennox's tech!"
The expressions of the commanders grew grim.
"Fine then. Let's just deal with this through ranged attacks. Maintain a perimeter and use plasma-based attacks.
The WGP flew and revealed more guns and weapons.
It was here that Lowengren found his perfect chance. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
"HeHe… Time to light up this base." Lowengren clenched the remote activator, which was activated as it detected Lowengren's Unlocking. Realm Somatotopy that commanded the activator released a small electric pulse. It was quick, and no one was paying attention to it. And no one could pay attention to it because it activated the Cubes already placed on the Planted Exoskeletons.
BOOM!
Powerful lightning exploded from where the Planteds stood, and it continued to expand. Suddenly, as if it found a conductor, the electric energy raced across the base, damaging, destroying, and killing as it moved.
"Retreat!" Magantae urged. They knew this wasn't ordinary electricity but have seen just how powerful it was.
The bolt pierced through the body of one of the soldiers. The Exoskeleton he wore did not even hinder the electricity in the slightest. This was the full power of the electricity. The WGP Exoskeletons had to deploy their force fields and used their hardened suits to defend against it.
The lightning bolt traced all over the base, causing chaos.
Commander Owens saw what happened and was shocked. From his perspective, it looked like the WGP had unleashed a powerful attack that created lightning energy to course throughout the base.
"How?!" Owens asked in shock. The Caliphate was a base that Australia, China, and New Great Britain wouldn't recklessly attack. The sand, though having metallic properties, blocks the enigmatic magnetic pulse of Australia. It could distort the magnetic tech of China and insulate the Lightning Rod tech of New Great Britain.
But now, the electric energy that seemed to be from New Great Britain spread all over the base damaging many facilities.
It was then that Commander Owens realized what became the conductor that allowed the electricity to move through.
"THE ICE!" Owens shouted angrily.
Lowengren was already positioned on a safe place as he observed the chaos of the lightning energy. With his suit that masked itself in the darkness, he planted two cubes near the Planteds.
It would have been impossible to do so, but Lowengren had already planned out his way to avoid being detected even from Dune World.
After talking with Maver, Lowengren demanded to be granted the freedom to move and disappear from their sights as he would be communicating with Arbiter Madelyne. This gave Lowengren the freedom to board an Exoskeleton and rush for Charles's spectacular, whale-shaped ship. And the tech he gathered from it was another special Exoskeleton suit that had a specific tech.
The Exoskeleton could release a vibration and sound that could block the small sands. As the sands didn't touch him, he remained undetected as he continued to move closer and closer in the center of the battle. However, the distortion of the Dune World gave him the advantage to move closer and even remained unnoticed from the WGP.
But the most treacherous thing that he did was deploy a lightning-charged attack in a base that had received two experimental frost bombs using Rosa's Path. The ice was spread across the battlefield and melted due to the heat generated from the reacting metallic sands in the sandstorm.
And so the bomb's range had effectively doubled and blasted throughout the base.
The group of Planteds that held the dildos was effectively killed from the attack. The rampaging lightning even began to kill the platoons of saber-wielding Exoskeletons.
The WGP had already retreated from the distance, and they had flown to avoid the wet ground that exploded from the ice bomb and was safe from the raging lightning.
"What happened?" The Commander was confused.
"They must have missed it! The ice bomb! The one that Gender Vender fired!"
"Are we seriously going to believe his name is Gender Vender?"
"Whoever it was, that ice attack must have caused the misfire from the Lightning energy!" One of the Commander deduced.
"It's not that simple…" Magantae refused to believe it.
"Would you take an unknown weapon of the enemy and use it? If it's a simple gun, then perhaps it's easy, but this is a weapon based on an unknown technological possibility! How would they know that the device would not harm them? No. It's more complicated than this. I am convinced that they didn't use the weapon on their own accord! They were tricked!"
"Tricked? But who would… No… it can't be… it's him?"
"That's right. Who else would have the guts to risk that?"
"General Vender Hirock! He tricked Owens into using the weapon… A weapon that had harmed themselves!" Drinths exclaimed.
"What? How?"
"We don't know what happened. But Vender's immediate capture means that his plan must have failed, or that he betrayed us or…"
"Someone betrayed him…" Drinths completed Magantae's sentence.
"Yes. We could spend all night debating, but look at that misfire! This proves it! They used a weapon, thinking it would bring us down but it ended hurting themselves! Someone betrayed Vender, and we've all seen how crazy that man is! They betrayed the god of mischief and got themselves bolted by their own weapon!"
The Commanders looked around the base and could see just how great the extent of the attack.
The previous ice bombs had covered nearly covered half of the entire base. And the activation of Dune World only caused the ice and water to spread everywhere.
Many Exoskeletons were standing idly because their pilot had died. The malicious electricity penetrated and moved around the Exoskeleton and had searched out humans to bolt out. Of course, this was expected with a lightning bomb that Lennox crafted.
"Let's use this to our advantage! We can claim that we made that attack!" One of the Commanders immediately suggested.
Magantae was quick on the uptake and began to broadcast.
"Caliphate! See the power of our technology! Even that weapon you have is ineffective! Give us back, General Vender, or we will turn this attack into a massacre! The WGP has already attacked north! Can you afford to defend us with two destroyed fronts? Egypt might even attack you!" Magantae made a haughty challenge.
"Impressive, Admiral!" Commander Drinths praised.
"Less words, less mistakes. We don't know what they know. But if we make them think we were responsible for that backfire, it would be to our advantage!" Magantae had intentionally made her broadcast open-ended so as to leave Owens to come to his own conclusion.
Owens was shaking in anger. Going with Magantae's words, he believed that the WGP caused the lightning attack!
"You're to blame for this! If you had used that weapon immediately, they wouldn't have made that attack! You imbecile! We had a weapon that could kill them, but we couldn't even use it!" Owens shouted at Maver.
"I- I…" Maver wanted to answer, but he couldn't. In his mind, he wanted to kill the Planted who gave him these dildos. All those Planted Soldiers did was made an embarrassing pose before dying.
Owens had already issued the orders to pull all forces back to base, fearing the same attack in the deep ocean. The large whale-shaped ship had used the sea's water to attack and released a similar lightning attack.
It was too risky to leave the soldiers at sea.
"Activate all defensive protocols. Do not activate Dune World. We've already made a mistake in causing the enemy to launch that ice attack."
"But sir, we won't be able to fight them without Dune World!"
"Activate Sand Golem Protocol! I'll handle this! It seems that the Planted is as useless as their General!" Owens screamed.
"Sir! A Rogue Exoskeleton is rushing towards the WGP!" One of the soldiers reported as they witnessed an Exoskeleton that had a unique and unidentifiable design.
"I'm General Vender!" Lowengren called out as he rushed towards the WGP group.
"It's Vender!" Magantae recognized the voice and rushed towards Lowengren.
The Commanders followed in haste and began to fire barrages at the enemy to keep them away from each other.
Lowengren then communicated with Maver.
"You idiot! You didn't even use these weapons properly! I'll fix this myself and kill that Admiral!" Lowengren reported.
As the two were about to meet, Lowengren then spoke to Magantae and changed his voice.
"Die Magantae!" The enraged howl echoed out, and Lowengren revealed a black cylinder.
It contained yet another harnessed ability from the miraculous Path of the Unlock. With the different energy devices that the combined techs of Pangea, New Great Britain, and One China had, they finally weaponized various Path. This particular weapon was able to contain the invisible, undetectable, and powerful attack of Typical.
A powerful force exploded out of the small cylinder and shot towards Magantae.
However, the angry howl of Lowengren had awoken the WGP soldiers, and Magantae had armed herself with a force field.
BANG!
A loud sound echoed out, and Magantae was thrown backward. But what was shocking was that the force field that she deployed was broken, and something had stabbed right through her, piercing her right in the abdomen.
The invisible needle disappeared immediately, and Lowengren retreated.
"That's how you use those dildos, you idiot! You wasted a whole bunch of weapons! I'm glad those Planteds died!" Lowengren cursed at Maver.
"I… I…" Maver cried.
