Chapter 526 Losing Confidence

Novel Top1.OR G

Richie and the Tyrant Empress were fighting a brutal match at the clash's epicenter.

The locust was commanded to move away, and the rest of the forces dared not approach the center since they would be caught up in the collision of powers.

At the core of the battle exploded with massive spears that shot out. Three of Seven Notes fought together with Richie and acted as defensive shields that protected Richie from the attacks of the Empress.

Chase, Levvy, and Magantae aided Richie but took the bulk of the attacks and were the only ones among the Seven Notes that stood as those who had the highest chance of resisting the Empress.

The Empress wielded several Paths at once and could even create Green Dragons that bit down on the walls and harnessed their melodies as they made a harmonic tune and crafted a massive pyramid that formed with them as the three points and Richie as the tip.

BANG!

The dragon's massive jaw could not dig through the sound shield.

"Too weak! The real dragon would be able to bite through it! It looks like you're not beautiful enough to command their powers and break through my walls!" Richie laughed as his three allies defended the crunch of a dragon.

The Empress was enraged as she heard it. The powers that were locking her beauty were causing her to feel ugly, and her confidence was affected.

BOOM!

The green dragon continued to gnaw, but Richie charged towards the mouth of the dragon as a powerful spear shot through the mouth and charged towards the Empress.

BANG!

The Rule where the Tyrant Empress closed up, and she was knocked back.

She was attacked! Richie had the will to attack her.

"Your little attempt to get me failed, Empress!" Richie laughed. After meeting her on that call, he never knew if he could ever find the will to attack the Tyrant Empress. But at the right moment, the desires of his allies to win added to his will.

They became one in their will through the powers of the harmony they created. It was even evolving to the point that they could understand each other's thoughts.

Richie charged through the spear he created and entered the dragon's body, rushing towards the Empress.

The Empress raised her arm, and the Throne formed and closed up as lightning, wind, and desolation attacked Richie in a pincer attack!

Richie charged faster.

"Walls of Jericho!" Richie shouted, and a powerful wall of sound traversed the dimensions occurred. It was as if its command of Richie was the voice of creation itself! The trembling Universe Energy, being dispersed and used up in the battle around them, heeded the voice, and a wall appeared around Richie.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The attacks of the Tyrant Empress were blocked as the Universe Energy appeared around Richie, and Richie harnessed the power of his sound.

"Falcon Punch!" The power of repeating vibrations appeared on Richie's fist as he brought it down.

BOOM!

The punch landed and threw the Rule of the Empress flying downwards.

Several more booms occurred as if the attack kept repeating and repeating at the place of impact.

The Almetal steel was being deformed at each attack.

"My vibrations are no longer locked in this dimension, Empress! My attacks can even create impacts at command. Even in a space without any molecules, my power will ripple through the dimensions and attack you!" Richie as he zoomed to the other side and left another attack.

BOOM!

The Rule was flying to the side, and another constant and repeating impact with the same power occurred to the side.

BOOM!

Richie attacked, and the Empress was being crushed on all sides.

Inside the Rule, the Empress tried to call out her power and harnessed the sound.

"Stop!"

As another blow was about to explode, the sound suddenly moved and rushed towards Richie.

The space itself kept exploding with the same impact

"Oh? You can still seduce my sounds?" Richie chuckled as he rushed out to meet the repeating sound of bangs and reached his hand out.

The sound disappeared, and the booms vanished as Richie could easily tame it.

"You can't make it attack its master, Empress." Richie laughed.

The Tyrant Empress was enraged. She never had ever been this weak.

"You know what else? Arthur and Lowengren plotted against you! They favored me in this battle and arranged everything to favor me! Look at yourself now! You are not as pretty as you thought you were!" Richie laughed.

"Hmph!" She raised her hand, and many locusts that didn't take part suddenly came charging as a massive plant broke out of it and attacked the three sounds.

Each of the locusts suddenly grew larger and larger as it became covered in a strange darkness.

It flew towards the three sounds aiding Richie.

As they charged towards the sound wall and were splattered, a strange discord within the vibrations was felt.

Richie rushed back towards the three and gathered sound power to reinforce the shield.

"Zulu! It's Zulu's powers!" Richie cursed as his sound began to block the attacks. He could sense a dark force that somehow was moving beyond the dimensions.

"Boss! These locusts are breaching the dimensions!"

"Zulu's shaman magic! It's his path! He is using himself as a medium to speak to the souls and spirits that linger and bring them here! His undead, black magic of cursing is weakening our sounds!"Richie deduced.

"But Zulu is fighting Gallium and Akasha right now!" Chase frowned.

"It's the Tyrant Empress! She is now commanding the paths of her allies!" Sammy explained.

Several massive Exoskeletons appeared from within the Locust swarm. Its form was similar to Ceasar's massive Exoskeleton suit, harnessing tremendous power as it punched out.

"There's more of them!"

"They made several mini Ceasars... It looks like they are the ones who can really bring out the legacy of Australia's Dawn soldiers..." Richie laughed.

With the three surrounded, the rest of the Seven Notes were forced to abandon their current position in aiding the rest and gather together.

"Boss! This is trouble! She's not fighting us directly anymore!" Levvy cursed.

"Actually... I think this means we are winning." Sammy answered.

"Yes! That's right, Sammy! This is good!" Richie laughed.

"I am now confident that we can all attack her. If she's sending others to fight us, then it means she's not as confident as before! Her arrogance and desire to conquer allowed her to fight on the front lines... But now, she's hiding! Everyone! Hold on and keep fighting! We're winning this!" Richie laughed as they all charged at the numerous powers that battled everywhere.

The Tyrant Empress was retreating to the bottom, and she felt her heart tremble.

"My Empress. It seems I may need to die to save us all." The voice of Lennox spoke.

"Another set of bad news, huh? I lose my strategist in the heat of this battle."

"I'm afraid so. But against Overcomers, we could only expect such things."

"So your son and that Lowengren, despite having seen me, have managed to repress their will."

"Oh? I never thought about that. But it does make sense. Your defeat will greatly benefit them."

"Yes. And that Eagle is around. I can feel a portion of this space that would not pay attention to me as it is attracted to something else..." The Empress sighed.

"Ah... So that's what those fluctuations were."

"I must move now. I will be asking for help from Hermes and Ceasar to do this. I'm sure they noticed."

"So this is it? Are your calculations telling you that we are defeated?"

"... No. Empress, my son and Lowengren, and even that Seeker arranged this battle because you have never ever fought in a situation where Zone was against you. This is the tribulation that you have to overcome. If your powers have really disappeared, why has not one of those who serve you betrayed you? Ceasar is an Overcomer. That Zulu is also a Near Overcomer. And yet, we still fight."

"...hmmm... You're right!" The Empress smiled.

"In any case, I must go! It was a pleasure serving you, my Queen! But I must now end this forced existence of mine." Lennox moved up and called on Ceasar and Hermes.

The two beings slugging it in the sky, causing attacks that equaled weapons of mass destruction, suddenly shifted their attention and attacked the shield around the tallest point of Egypt.

The massive wind created raised and slashed its massive sword on the shield.

Omricon was the very sword itself and slashed down his blade that could cut through all matter.

SLASH!

But the universe's energy appeared and prevented the cut from moving inside.

"My turn!" Ceasar rushed in and harnessed his full power.

The very space around Ceasar distorted as he wielded such power and force in one body that it was as if a small black hole was forming. It was like Ceasar was becoming a star.

"Combat Body?!" Andronze sensed the fluctuation as Ceasar punched out.

The arm that was now getting crushed by the very power it created smashed on the Universe Energy shield.

BOOM!

A small hole was created.

"Presider!"

"Relax! That energy has reached a level that it doesn't need a shield! Go ahead, you golem! Let's see if your attack could breach my Stellar Core!" Andronze challenged.

But Ceasar didn't move, and a figure rushed towards the stellar core.

"Living Lighting?!"

It was a simple exoskeleton that contained massive electrical energy. It dove towards the core, and its lightning began to spread out.
