The group was amazed to know that the body was that of the Lost Primordial.
"Woah.... Plot twist!" Vender was amazed.
"That's the actual Lost Primordial? Then that means...?!"
"It's all a lie." Lowengren analyzed.
"No! I swear! I'm telling the truth!" Guinevere answered.
"That's not what I mean. I'm saying that the Lost Primordial made a powerful lie. A lie like mine, or even stronger than it! It's a lie so powerful that it managed to deceive even Andronze!"
"What do you mean?"
"Imagine thousands of years from now. Someone discovers a screwdriver. They will treat it as a relic, an ancient tool to a world long forgotten. And in this screwdriver is a note that explains that this is used for cooking. Future scholars will study the screwdriver believing that it is used for cooking. This is what the Lost Primordial did. He left his body here and made a lie. A powerful lie that breaches the dimensions! All to hide the secret of his body!" Lowengren explained.
"As expected of the Progenitor." Harker laughed.
"Yeah. Andronze has been studying this the wrong way from the start. And we would have to. But the Lost Primordial willed for Guinevere to be captured! Can't you see it, guys? This Progenitor knows the future! He placed his seeds! It's just like Seeker! He was an accident allowed for a purpose."
Vender began to play a song on his comm device entitled 'God's Plan.'
Everyone looked at him.
"The inscriptions written on the body's very body spoke of the actions to preserve this body and the name of the body." Lowengren continued and pointed at the body to which strange words were written on his right hand.
"So it was a lie to deceive any Aragarians!"
"Um... Since we are safe and have time, can anyone tell me what is going on? I remembered Earth to be so different. And for many years, I only knew of Egypt. It's only now that Andronze busied herself with the outside world." Guinevere asked.
"Well, since you've picked up news all over the world these past months, this should be easier to explain. Your brother and father have been actively fighting, using their powerful abilities when needed. We are the Council of the Wicked. Your brother belongs to our ragtag team of crazy people." Lowengren explained.
"You got the crazy part right. You managed to weaken the guard of Andronze's mind somehow. I never thought it was possible. Her mind felt very confused. The mind that she placed over me is party real and partly robotic. It's like a programmed code of her thoughts."
"We're familiar with that. However, your father could do something even more amazing than that! Andronze's powers are rather vague and hard to understand. We can't even talk to it! Your father could create A.I's that imitate his mind and thoughts almost perfectly!"
"Really? But I thought dad's power is lightning!" Guinevere was amazed.
"It is lightning. And he's using that to create all sorts of amazing things. He is so amazing! He can use his powers to give us Pokemon games in our head!" Gardo explained.
"He can give you games?!" Guinevere rose as she heard it.

"I introduced him to that! But he can put it in my head? Where is father?! I must see her now!" Guinevere demanded.
"..." Harker and Lowengren were amazed at Guinevere's dedication to a game.
"I take it. It was you who introduced that game to your father?" Gardo asked.
"Yes! I did!" Guinevere chuckled.
"You guys have such amazing brains. Lennox can use his mind to carefully force each cell in his body to undergo various chemical changes and become lighting. His math is so perfect. And Arthur has a brain that can practically see the future. But, before we continue with the story, I have to know... what's your brain like?" Lowengren asked.
Guinevere smiled as she heard all the amazing things her father and brother could do.
"It's difficult to explain. Her explanation is even weird! After the fight against that massive flying saucer controlled by the Presider called Shasktress, Andronze became obsessed with prayers, religious posts on social media, teas, cactus, biscuits, and the bible. I don't understand why!"
"Ah. That would be because of us. I'll explain later. Do carry on." Lowengren brushed off the mystery.
"Well, she began to use Biblical terms to explain my power. She often equated it with the Holy Spirit. My power is the ability to bestow my spirit to others empowering them to be influenced by me. It's a power that never manifested in my life. But there was a time when my dad had to fend off several Underworld members who were planning to kidnap me to be used against my dad. We were in Egypt at that time as my father was researching something. I was so scared that I felt a strange connection. Little did I know that my fears on that day were actually real. I connected with the Lost Primordial's corpse. His body reacted to mine. That is why Andronze sought for me."
"This was programmed. The Lost Primordial must have set his body to react once, and only once with your mind. I take it that after that, the body of the Progenitor never moved again. And when Andronze forced you to meet him, you only saw each other, but it didn't reveal anything more."
"Yes... Who exactly is he?"
"To answer that... I'll have to tell you about what we know from the very start. It all starts with a guy who lived and died. He played this treacherous game and reached his game over. Only to find out that he had to restart it with greater advantages."
"A new game+?" Guinevere asked.
"Exactly. He-"
BEEP! BEEP!
Suddenly, notifications and alerts were made.
"What's that?" Vender pointed at the screen that showed a strange ripple of power coming from the nation of Greece.
"I know what that is!" Guinevere exclaimed.
Back outside, the battle in Egypt continued to escalate, with all teams rushing on each side.
The Presiders had also positioned themselves nearby, waiting for Egypt to falter. Instead, the advance of the Desert Empire had moved in so deep that five hours since the battle started, the team managed to conquer numerous cities.
At the forefront of the battle were the fighters of the Tyrant Empress.
Octarion Ceasar, Eve Eden, and Akahs Zulu waged war, easily bringing down the armies like they were flies.
Massive plants erupted from the ground and opened up a massive petal that shot out spores.
Eve Eden finally revealed her power to create gigantic plants growing at an incredible rate. Even Jet-Propelled Exoskeletons were caught by the vines of these gigantic, towering creatures.
"Without the Locusts, my plants will conquer!" Eden laughed as she stood over a massive plant monster moving through dunes and sand and fought against a massive sand golem that Egypt created as part of its defensive protocol.
On another side of the battlefield, all Exoskeletons, Armors, and even the enemy's guns simply stopped having the ability to shoot as strange darkness covered them.
The soldiers themselves felt weak, distracted, and even depressed.
Akahs Zulu walked casually with his numerous exoskeletons that wielded spears and shields and were stabbing and killing everything as they strolled through the defenses. The power of curses had grown powerfully, and he could create a massive curse that could affect an entire square kilometer with his power!
At the forefront of this battle was Octarion Ceasar, who had destroyed a fleeing Mobile Base.
"Our advance continues, my queen. Soon, we shall reach the area where Hermes has battled the massive Orbital." Ceasar reported.
"A pity that no Orbital appeared here. It would do well to be my dwelling." The Tyrant Empress laughed.
"The general warning of Arthur stated that within five hours since our attack, a Presider is bound to take action." Eve Eden reported.
"That man is never perfect. He is no prophet of the future." Akahs laughed.
"I don't agree, my dear Akahs. That man was the reason I lost against them. If he predicted it, it will come true. Be prepared. Who knows if a Presider will appear over us. We did come out of the open to lure one here..." The Tyrant Empress laughed.
At that moment, a strange pulse of energy passed through them.
"What was that?" Eden asked.
"It felt... metallic." Octarion glanced around them.
Suddenly all the metals that were destroyed began to come to life.
The guns of many of their allies began to shoot out, and Exoskeletons began to move without being commanded.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Chaos ensued as the army of the Tyrant Empress began to fight with each other.
Caesar felt his own armor rebel.
N0 v el Next. CoM
"You dare?" He roared as his Realm erupted.
The rebellion stopped.
"Lanterk." Tyrant Empress had an enraged look on her face.
Her precious army that marched in ranks and beautifully won the battle began to fight each other.
The ambushes from the shattered metals that came to life and reformed just as they did during the Call of Automatons by the WGP Emperor led to the deaths of the previously perfect record of the Empress.
Her rage grew, and finally, the Tyrant Empress removed her helmet.
"Enough!" She roared as her power erupted.
The rebellious robots and all the metals stopped as they were drawn to the beauty of a woman.
All objects, living or dead, were suddenly trembling at the beauty of Quera.
"My Queen... Shall we proceed with the attack?"
"No. It's too dangerous. I am still using my powers to stop them. We were foolish to use the metals of this Earth. We should have used our own metals! My haste to build this army is my downfall. Let us not underestimate Andronze. And remember that there are still Overcomers that we have to face. This is Lanterk's assistance to Andronze. We retreat for now and resolve this issue. Otherwise my victory won't look beautiful."
