Chapter 502 Mind Of The Serpent

The entire serpent began to tremble, and many of the clones inside began to panic as the serpent they used was panicking.

"What's going on?!" A clone shouted.

"That's why we are here! Presider Andronze knew that an attack like this would occur based on the sciences of the enemy! Send us in quickly!" Lowengren ordered, and the clones began to activate numerous protocols that overrode the controls of the Serpent.

"You can do that?" Harker was stunned. He had thought that the entire Serpent was controlled by a strange AI using Seth and Guinevere to recreate a Presider-level Zone.

The ship seemed to have been controlled by the will of the Serpent, but then, the clones managed to take control and ignore the threat of the Serpent, and the pods that were transporting them moved even faster and were using a magnetic technology similar to that of Lanterk.

"How can you control the ship? I felt the presence of the Serpent itself." Gardo asked.

"We can. The Serpent is not yet complete. Presider Andronze has not yet succeeded in supplanting her thoughts into the mind of the serpent's brain! But our control is weak! The Serpent can easily override our control! Something is wrong with it right now! We truthfully don't understand it."

"That part, we understand. It seems Presider Andronze left each of us out of fully understanding the real sciences in this ship. This is an attack made by our enemies. The real identity of the Desert Empress is someone who could challenge Andronze and has powers such as this. She is trying to find the real location of Andronze's main ship, which is this serpent! And she has already found it and is attacking its brain! If she succeeds, then this entire ship will be under her control, and all the hard work of Presider will be used against her!"

"What do we do?!" The clone asked.

"The situation seems more threatening than we thought. Transfer all controls to us and allow us to have the power to override parts of the ship. We have to escape and move deeper for now!" Lowengren ordered.

The clones quickly acted and handed over the controls and access. A round, metal helmet was placed over Lowengren's head as full access was granted. Similar controls were given to the rest.

The moment the group accessed it, they felt a powerful link towards the ship. It was a strong link that none of the clones ever experienced. But to the Unlocked, who had even begun their training in using the Thought Transmitter, they felt a more natural link and could do things that none of the rest could.

They also had been exposed to Lennox's training. Their thoughts could somehow perceive data in a different form and could somehow feel and understand the data through Zone.

Everyone except Vender began to make another attempt to combine the Realms. They had failed on the previous attempt and were only spared as Vender's words somehow reached Guinevere and jolted her mind to regain control for a bit. But if the Serpent manages to regain control, they would die.

So the team concentrated hard. Failure was no longer an option.

But now, the power to unite was made easy. The entire Serpent was made as another entity. And this made it easier for Lowengren and the team to unite their Realm as they now had something to pour out their Realms on.

It was as if they were granted a massive bowl where they could pour out all their powers. And as opposed to having no containers, where their Realms will expand out wildly, the Serpent became a chamber that allowed everyone to do what was impossible.

As their Realms attempted its combination, they could feel a powerful resistance as the thoughts that Andronze placed in were fighting.

"Hurry! This Serpent might regain control and warn Andronze!" Harker communicated in this strange union.

At that moment, Vender was out of sync with everyone. He did something incredibly stupid and off tempo and didn't join everyone in their focused attempt. This was because the moment he felt Guinevere, he recalled the same pain that her daughter faced. Vender was always off rhythm due to many of his quirks. But now, a huge factor in his off-rhythm self was a difference in priority. Everyone else prioritized staying alive, but he wanted to save the poor girl trapped in this wide world.

"Guinevere. Can you hear me?" Vender called out.

Harker and the rest felt it, but they had no time to lash out. Lowengren didn't get angry. He knew that this power of Vender was not something he should fear. For a while, it seemed that way, the numerous small miracles that Vender made all created a grand picture and evidence of his power.

His Path was similar. He believed his Path to be lying because of these small incidents, which weren't even considered a miracle. His lies during his gamer days proved it. And then, there was Seeker. He was also someone treated to have shown small miracles that never seemed true.

"Vender! Concentrate harder! This is a girl who suffered more than your daughter has!" Lowengren called out. And his words were not even a lie! Lowengren acted outside of his Path and his Zone, but it triggered a powerful reaction to Vender.

At that moment, Lowengren and Harker's Path became united.

Lowengren spoke the truth, and that power erupted.

"Guinevere! Listen to me! We know your brother and your father! They sent us here to save you! Help us fight! Regain control of your mind! Regain control!" Vender pleaded.

"I... Can't...!" A voice answered back in the far distance.

"She... placed... her thoughts in me...!"

"You have to fight! If you want to see Lennox and Arthur! Fight!" Vender pleaded again as he recalled the numerous times he urged his daughter to fight the deadly disease.

The trembling began to increase as the Clones all began to do what they could in trying to retain the ship's stability. They held on to their fathers and secured them on their seats, and placed their seat belts to keep them safe. But the trembling inside the ship was getting worse.

"Fathers! Save us!" A clone cried out.

But as the massive serpent began to thrash about wildly, Lowengren and the rest were actually happy as they could feel the pressure of the enemy's Zone weaken.

"Guinevere is helping us!" Harker declared through their link.

Vender continued pleading, calling out to Guinevere to hold on as the rest continued to combine their Realm to form a unity.

"Vender! Now! Combine with us!" Lowengren called out, and Vender followed.

Truth, Lies, and Humor merged with the Anti-Zone.

A new Realm was born. It infiltrated the power that Andronze was trying to create and the life that Andronze was trying to build in the serpent.

It engulfed the control over the Serpent and told it a lie.

"We are not your enemies."

Lowengren's power was concentrated on this.

"We are not here to hurt you."

This was the truth that Harker spoke out.

Between these two powers was the comforting power of Gardo, who would joke and mess around and could turn any serious moment into a laughable moment. This would not have worked to a being of a different form, but the power of the Anti-Zone allowed it to work.

Suddenly, the chaos and movement of the Serpent stopped.

The clones were stunned as they saw the Serpent stop. Everyone was silent and observed, and a full minute passed with no outbreaks.

"Did father...?"

"Quiet! Look! Our fathers are still concentrating! Do not disturb them!" Another clone warned.

Minutes passed in silence, with the group constantly concentrating. Finally, they arrived at the heart of the Serpent.

Lowengren was the first to open his eyes.

"It's safe now. The attacks of the Tyrant Empress that Presider has stopped." Lowengren removed his helmet.

The rest also followed.

"Fathers! You did it!"

"We're not in the clear yet. Things are more... dangerous than we thought. Everyone, we will access the heart of this beast. Have everyone be in full readiness. I saw that there are other Planted here that are not your clones?"

"Yes. This massive ship carries over a hundred thousand men and women. They aren't biologically created or enhanced but have lived inside this ship."

"Have them prepare for war. We will be sending them out to fight various battles. Numerous Presiders are on their way here to wage war on Egypt. And our goal is to keep ourselves hidden, but we are also to fight!" Lowengren ordered.

"Understood, father. We will go now."

"We will stay here in the heart. No one is to enter this chamber! No one! If anyone does, we will kill them!" Harker called out.

"If the Tyrant Empress can attack this serpent, she can enter your minds! We will be giving you all the information that Presider Andronze has regarding this enemy and how we can defend against her!" Lowengren warned as well.

The clones were all scared.

"Group hug!" Gardo suddenly declared as he rushed in and hugged several beautiful clones.

"We're alive! Be thankful for that!"

"Ye-Yes, father!" One of the clones wept as she felt her father's hug.

"And I want all of you to watch this and try to decrypt it. It is said that a Presider hid their secrets in this strange movie." Vender handed out a comm device, and Lowengren and the rest rolled their eyes, knowing that Vender was using this opportunity to make these people watch Star Wars.

"Dismissed." Lowengren couldn't help but send everyone away in case Vender would make them watch other old series.
