Chapter 493 War Of Presiders

Deep underwater, Lanterk continued to cause his giant ship to remain floating.

He knew what was coming. The entire space around him was so distorted, with numerous powers interfering with the three dimensions. His technology to teleport out of the space of that region was locked.

Seeing the surging powers, Lanterk quickly continued his experiments over the data he managed to acquire from the enemy.

His battles against the Unlocked armies have given him enough data to find a new dimension.

Lanterk's massive metal giant body watched as numerous powers gathered around the sea. His enemies were fast approaching.

BOOM!

The three dimensions folded, and a massive moon appeared and moved out of space around them.

Lanterk recalled the reports of how Crostfree died. The entire moon that was displacing itself on the three dimensions was struck with weapons of mass destruction at the very heart of it and forced Crostfree to retreat with Pridgeon. Lanterk now believed Pridgeon used that to kill Crostfree.

An army of ships began to move out of this moon.

"So that's how the attack landed. It seems that Crostfree or Pridgeon's tech is not compatible in detecting the strange realm where those teleporting allies of the Progenitors moved through..." Lanterk noted this weakness.

Space began to compress in the region on the other side. The power to bend space was happening, and a form began to leap out of the empty sea.

All of a sudden, a massive city emerged. A large platform held the city, and the entire ship was as big as Lanterk's giant body.

And just like with Pridgeon's arrival, an army of Aragarian ships and suits appeared out of the city. It formed ranks and was ready to launch an all-out assault.

"Myrth tried to bend space and interfere with the fight against Shakstress. But her ship was struck by something. It seems she is also unable to sense teleportation within that strange realm." So Lanterk secretly thought to himself.

A strange heat erupted nearby, and an army of underwater ships that had forms of stellar-capable jets warped on the other side.

"Tsk... This weak and useless man dares to join a fight of Top-Tiers?!" Lanterk cursed.

But Lanterk turned his attention to the strange energy erupting on the other side of the sea.

A massive ship that looked to combine the appearance of two ships was slowly turning solid from its ghastly form. The first part of the ship was a disk-shaped structure, and this part looked like a certain spaceship that could travel a 20-parsec distance by traveling only 12 parsecs. The rest of the body was massive boosters and another partition at the bottom. Looking at the overall layout, the ship looked like a ship that would travel the final frontier, which is space.

It was transparent and was slowly taking up form.

"Breaching dreams to reality. But still, he too has no idea of the portal abilities that the Progenitor used against me... I have to play this cautiously..." Lanterk decided in his heart.

"Pridgeon. Myrth. Enderks. And Garenjazz. Nice ship, Garenjazz." Lanterk called out.

"Thanks. I call it the Millennium Enterprise." Garenjazz's avatar appeared over the ship. He was wearing eccentric attire that mixed two sci-fi outfits into one.

"You aren't bringing out your Pioneers for this battle?"

"The Millenium Enterprise fights as one. Just as it does in the movies and TV shows."

"... Eccentric as always, I see."

"Lanterk. You seem well. But what happened here? Why the waste of Universe Energy?" Pridgeon smiled.

"I'm not in the mood to talk. Since I've already lost, I don't want to lose again. It's time for me to get serious." Lanterk declared as the entire giant suit was wrapped in Universe Energy.

"That damned Lost Primordial and Progenitor took a lot from me. And I shall take a lot from all of you!" Lanterk vowed.

"Lost Primordial and the Progenitor?"

"Since I am at a loss, I might give out this information. I fought against those two teams. They were in some form of an alliance. They sent several powerful men, just as what happened to Shakstress. Each of these men was like Presiders on their likes. This only means that we have been fooled. The Progenitor and the Lost Primordial are not singular Presiders! They are a group of Presiders! We assumed that all those techs we saw attack Shakstress were being used by one. But the truth was, all of them were half a step into becoming Presiders. Without Thrones and only with their Phallium suits, they could reach powers that equal a Presiders."

"Oh... So it's an ingenious trick to deceive us? That means that those strange battles even way back, in Australia, One China, and even the battle that later claimed Crostfree's life... They were fighting people who we would not consider to be Presiders but had the strength to kill one?"

"Yes. Glass cannons all aimed to bring down Presiders. And they are going stronger. So if you wish to fight, so be it. But we will die if this keeps up. We have to deal with them first!"

"If you are saying that, you are no Conqueror. How could a Principal like you assume that strength is found in unity? We form alliances to break them. That is how Primes are!" Pridgeon laughed.

"And yet you brought Gordon with you?" One of the ships spoke. The voice was that of Enderks.

"Why is a Mid-Tier here? Enderks, you and Straviaa are too green to participate in this battle. Even now, you even send a Pioneer to be your megaphone. So tell your men to retreat. Go back and play with the toys that you must have gotten with those trades you had with the Progenitor." Pridgeon laughed.

"Conquerors don't have allies but tools. Everything is a tool, Pridgeon. You just got lucky and got Crostfree's ship. In the race to be Conquerors, luck is a great factor. But you'll run out of luck. That's why Garenjazz never sees you as a rival despite your quick ascension from Low-Tier to Top-Tier!" Enderks mocked.

"You!" Pridgeon roared.

"Cut it out, the both of you. This is a feast to devour the wounded form of Lanterk. The more time we waste, the more he can recover. Let's just attack him and get this over with." Myrth began to move. This time, Myrth had the appearance of a little girl. She moved out of the sea and was wearing a beautiful, snow-white dress.

"Like my new Nefilus Suit?" Myrth asked.

"Hmm... I decided to retreat." Garenjazz chuckled. And the power that he used to bring the ghostly form of his ship began to activate, and the ship was starting to disappear.

"What?!" Pridgeon shouted.

"What is the meaning of this, Garenjazz?" Myrth also demanded.

Garenjazz's avatar continued to float at sea in carefree form.

"You guys are too greedy that you forget more Presiders are coming here. They will have their alliances. And right now, fighting and wounding a Top-Tier with the powers spilling over to the Principal is very reckless. So I decided to help Lanterk. I feel that he needed time. And I gave it to him. Oh, and I think he needed me to weaken this space this much. Bye guys! Scottie, beam me up!" Garenjazz floated off and disappeared into the sea.

The Presiders watched with a shocked expression. But suddenly, a strange power forcibly opened through the space. It was the power that utilized the space-bending power of Myrth and the power to move outside of the three dimensions like Pridgeon. But this power was very unrefined and even dangerous.

A large Pyramid emerged out of the sea and the bright golden sun shone out of the dark ocean.

An army of strange robots with the form of Egyptian gods appeared.

"Andronze?!" Pridgeon had a horrified expression. According to his spies, Andronze and Lanterk had a secret alliance.

Andronze was sitting on the Throne deep inside the Pyramid. Her expression was furious. She needed Lanterk and came here to help him. But she hated that she was acting according to the plans of Garenjazz.

"Just how strong is that man?! How did he know I needed just that amount of energy that distorted and compromised the space here to join in this battle?!" Andronze cursed.

"Andornze? Are you here to fight me?"

"No, you idiot. Our deal still stands. I walked according to the plans of Garenjazz. You better have something to help me fend off these enemies of yours!"

"Oh, I will have a lot. Just by teleporting here, you already helped me." Lanterk laughed.

"What do you mean?"

"The Progenitors teleporting science is different than anything I've ever seen. I can't replicate it. Although the space around this space has been compromised because of that battle, I still needed a massive amount of space-altering energy to replicate a small part of it. But you guys just weakened the space of this area with your Universe Energy that breached through the third dimensions. So I can do it now." Lanterk laughed.

Powerful magnetic energy gathered and created a strange pull that worked in the Void Realm.

The pull sucked in numerous ships from Pridgeon, Myrth, and Enderk's forces.

BOOM!

All of a sudden, a large explosion occurred in front of the giant form of Lanterk. Numerous ships crashed into each other, and the metal pieces were suddenly being sucked in.

"What do you know? It's working!" Lanterk laughed.

"Kill him!" Myrth roared as her Throne emerged out of the city and charged toward Lanterk.

The other Presiders also moved, and the underwater battle between Presiders began.
