Lanterk was caught off guard.
When Jake crushed the small light, it created a ripple within the space around Lanterk, and it even tore a hole in the Universe Energy. Lanterk began to use his Universe Energy to stabilize the dimensions. It was too fast, and a large hole was created between Lynd and Lanterk's space. It wasn't just teleportation anymore, both were forcibly displaced, and a strange desolation tore and ate away the obstruction.
This was the peak power that Void Assassin could perform. Most Paths could not be used or brought into the Void Realm. But the one thing that could be used was the desolate power of Meng.
The power that the Void Assassin created with the Realm King was an instantaneous swapping of two people. But the specifics of it were that both persons were destinations or targets of the other. The Desolation of Meng would purge everything along the way to hasten the teleportation as both would be traveling through the Void Realm at such extreme speeds.
There were several weaknesses of this technology as Lioncourt knew that if the enemy knew of this, they could easily stop it by using a technology that prevents Desolation. If Rai were to perform this once again against Lanterk. In that case, Lanterk could easily fortify the area with Universe energy, and the instant swap would lead to certain death for those who teleported as the resistance that the jump will meet could crush them and mince them.
Even Seeker had to train in how to move in it, as passing through the obstruction would make him lose his organs at each jump and learn how to see and evade everything.
While Desolation could clear these obstructions, any alteration in the three-dimensional world or by using Universe Energy would make the travel even more chaotic.
But this attack was perfectly timed, and Alean's power was used. For good measure, Seeker had to use his ability to create a scenario where Lanterk's Zone would be spread out. The battle against Shakstress has taught the team a lot in fighting against Presiders with powers similar to Zone. Seeker overloaded the power of Zone. He spread out his team to force Lanterk's attention into a divided group. And in this planned chaos, the perfect timing was created.
Alean achieved Chaos Order through her Path of Zone.
Alean spotted the exact moment when Lanterk would respond this way as he was in the height of euphoria and didn't want to make any deadly attacks that would outright kill Jake.
Lanterk went on the defense and was stunned to see Lynd in front of him, who immediately shot a powerful blast.
BOOM!
The power of the attack equaled weapons of mass destruction erupted.
Jake's appearance on the other side also surprised the enemy.
Aside from the sudden Desolation that tore a hole and caused the ocean of water to breach the room, the three enemies just didn't expect to fight an enemy that could pass through all matter.
With Jake's speed, he quickly moved and assassinated the enemy as quickly as he could. The distortion of the Universe Energy and the enemy's preparation to defend against what they thought would be Lynd's attack allowed Jake to accomplish his task easily.
In the room where Seeker fought, the battle continued to rage as Seeker and his team fought several Thrones.
Almost all the techs appearing in the other rooms were appearing in Seekers. The entire room was attacking and shooting them as guns would form from every corner of the room, even while the Thrones would attack with incredible speed.
The magnetic powers and rail made the battle something that not even an Inhuman could keep up with.
But thanks to the Paths of Seeker that could stop time in his perception, Seeker was able always to send Kristine or Alphie to the right places.
Suddenly, the main clone stopped moving, and the Pioneers that were on their Thrones had to compensate.
"Presider!" The Pioneer piloting the Throne cried out.
"It's happening. Lynd must have made his move!" Seeker laughed.
The clone of Lanterk had actually paused when the main body received the attack. This is because Lanterk was controlling his clone directly, but now, the disruption caused the clone to stop moving at all.

Seeker instantly took the opportunity to launch the strongest attack he could perform.
Kristine harnessed the power of the sound into her sword as she stabbed out and sent an attack that was equal to the Roar of Judah.
Seeker, who was at the center, sent out several of the radiation pills of Lennox, which he caused to be dispersed around the expanding spear that created vibration upon vibration.
And Alphie harnessed all the lightning energy that she could muster and used the form of the spear to transport electricity.
Three Paths combined, and it stabbed out.
The attack contained three elements that could be seen before the Throne of God.
Rumblings, Flashes of Lightning, and Peals of Thunder.
The massive attack erupted, creating a powerful attack that contained the explosions that equaled weapons of mass destruction.
The attack tore through the metal room and eradicated out, blasting through metal after metal and creating tremendous damage to the ship.
In Cliff's room, the sudden distortion caused the enemies of many weapons of the Pioneer he fought to fail.
"Let's finish this!" Cliff charged forward. His body had many wounds, and holes as the numerous bullets of the enemy had pierced him. Cliff had to use some miraculous healing pills that helped him recover and would have died twice if not for these things.
"You! How dare you hack Presider Lanterk!" The man with the shades shouted as he panicked in controlling the metals around him.
Cliff was also close to dying, and he used the last of his energy to make a simple charge. The Serpent he created was coated with Desolation, and it did a simple charge.
"You're already out of gas! Your attack won't reach me!" The man shouted as he commanded the bullets and various metal pieces to form a thick metal wall in front of him.
The Serpent charged towards the walls, which were now weaker as the Universe energy that controlled it had dimmed.
The serpent charged through and instantly pierced through the layers and layers of metal as if it was paper.
"H...How?!" The Pioneer asked. His lower half had already been mawed by the serpent.
The enemy did his best to block the attack and summoned all the metal that he could, but for some reason, the entire metal wall that blocked Cliff was very fragile.
"No... The Universe Energy... Why...? Why was it weak...? Or was it because of you... That's it! You fooled me! Your real strength is this!" The Pioneer cried as death approached him.
"You're wrong. This attack was weak. The real reason is that the metals you used were so weak. I've been weakening certain pieces of the metals you use throughout the battle. I wielded my attacks and Desolation not to destroy the metal. I was weakening it. You don't have a Presider's mind. That is your weakness. Throughout the battle, I've been making you arrange your metals for this moment. Each time you blocked me, I memorized those metals. While you have the power to repair damaged metals, all I was doing was using my Desolation to weaken it just a bit. And in the end, when you blocked the attacks thinking that I wasn't doing anything special, my attack easily broke all those metals you used." Cliff explained.
"You... memorized?" The Pioneer asked once more and finally died.
Cliff could feel the trembling attacks and sensed that many parts of the ship had suddenly lost power, and the waters began to flood in as the shifting and creating metal had stopped.
"Everyone should be now making their counterattacks and should be winning. Time to prepare for our escape!" Cliff moved out and struck the wall, and it easily broke, and the waters rushed in as the entire room collapsed and was crushed by the pressure.
Cliff moved towards the ocean and raced for the other rooms where the battles continued.
"That must be the Trumpet Blast..." Cliff observed massive wreckage that created large holes at the center. He knew that this was because of Seeker's combined attacks.
Cliff identified a room and used his attacks to infiltrate another room.
As all of this was happening, Rai had reached the room where Lynd was. With a flip of a metal cube, lightning charged out and returned.
"I got Lennox's AI. Are you done?" Rai asked.
"Let's go. We'll die if we stay here any longer!" Lynd called out, and the two quickly opened the Void Realm to escape.
Lanterk's body was floating in the area. His Thrones were damaged from the attack. What he felt was a shock. He was in a state of shock. He could not catch up with the enemy that was retreating, and if he chased after them, he would be using a huge chunk of his Universe Energy.
And so, all he could do was float in that ocean in disbelief and was still unable to accept the results.
"I... Lost?"
